5.A.1) Tentative Approval of the 2021/22 Fiscal Year Budget 21-181 Pursuant to Idaho Code §50-1002, authorization is requested to publish the Notice of Public Hearing of the 2021/22 fiscal year budget with publication dates set for August 1, 2021 and August 8, 2021. The Public Hearing is scheduled for 7:30 pm, Thursday, August 12, 2021 in the Council Chambers of the City Annex Building located at 680 Park Avenue in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
5.B.1) An ordinance of the City of Idaho Falls, amending City Code Section 8-3-5. 21-179 This ordinance revision would amend City Code Section 8-3-5 to add Funland at the Zoo to be included in the list of City regulated spaces where alcohol may be sold, dispensed and consumed and would further encourage the public to utilize Funland at the Zoo as a location for fundraisers and community gatherings. Once approved, this location would be included along with the following permit able locations: The Pier at Snake River Landing, Civitan Plaza, Sportsman’s Park, Idaho Falls Zoo, Tautphaus Park Multi-Use Shelter, Skyline Activity Center, the public plaza located at 330 Memorial Drive, Melaleuca Field, the Idaho Falls Public Library, a closed public street (provided the City Police Chief has approved the street closure), Sandy Downs and Noise Park.
5.C.1) IFP 21-033 Lower Plant Runner Hub Rebuild 21-198 Idaho Falls Power (IFP) solicited bids from qualified contractors to rebuild the runner hub at the Lower Plant. After identifying the lowest bidder, the city received a bid protest claiming the identified low bidder was unresponsive because they failed to acknowledge Addendum #2 in the bidding documents. After reviewing the bid protest, IFP and City Legal Services recommend that the city reject all bids, clarify the language in the bidding contract documents and put the project out to rebid, pursuant to the procedures identified in Idaho Code § 67-2805(b)(xi).
5.C.2) IF20-16, Additional Spending Request for Fiber Optic Cable Installation Services 21-201 City Council approved Wheeler Electric, Inc.’s original contract to provide residential fiber optic cable installation services for an amount of $400,000.00 on April 23, 2020 and later approved and extension of their contract for $200,000.00 on June 24, 2021. Due to the popularity and high demand for fiber, ongoing work is still required to complete this phase of the project and IFF is not aware of additional contractors interested in the work to terminate the fiber connection and optical network transmitter inside customer’s homes. To prevent customer connection delays, IFF is requesting an additional extension of Wheeler’s contract and spending authority to continue connecting new customers that sign up for fiber service. IFF plans to re-bid this work upon the completion of the current fiscal year 2021.
5.D.1) Police Personnel Manual Updates 21-180 The Employees and Management of the Idaho Falls Police Department met and made several suggestions for updates to the Police Personnel Manual (PPM). Many of those recommended updates were taken to Council on May 24. The Council made some changes in language and approved a tentative update to the PPM. As required, that update went out to all Police Department employees for review and comment for 30 days. To our knowledge, there have been no comments made regarding the proposed update. The 30-day review/comment period has now passed and the Council may now approve the updates to the PPM.
5.E.1) Ordinance Adjusting Sister Cities Advisory Committee language 21-199 The proposed Ordinance adds to Title 2, Chapter 14, language explicitly authorizing the Mayor, with the consent of the Council, to appoint Sister Cities Advisory Committee members, so that the Ordinance is clear.
5.F.1) Resolution Approving the CDBG 2021-2025 2021 Annual Action Plan and Five-Year Consolidated Plan 21-189 For your consideration is a resolution approving the CDBG 2021-2025 2021 Annual Action Plan (AAP) and the Five-Year Consolidated Plan, which includes the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AOI). These plans are required for the City to continue to receive funding for the CDBG program. The AAP and AOI are parts of the 5-Year Consolidated Plan, which is why there is only a single resolution. The plans set goals and priorities for how to allocate future CDBG funds received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The funds are intended to assist low-moderate income areas and programs including addressing housing issues, removing slum and blight, promoting economic development, and improving accessibility. The 5-Year Consolidated Plan and AOI were prepared by Western Economic Services and the AAP was prepared by Lisa Farris. All appropriate and required community engagement, public hearings, and comment periods have been conducted and the plans are now ready for Council approval so they can be sent to regional HUD offices. Any questions regarding the plans should be addressed to Lisa Farris.
