[3. Special Recognitions]
THANK YOU FOR THAT. ALL RIGHT. THIS EVENING, WE ARE PRIVILEGED TO START OUR MEETING IN A JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT WAY. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF SPECIAL RECOGNITIONS THAT WE'D LIKE TO GIVE. AND AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO INVITE OUR THE IDAHO FALLS POLICE CHIEF, BRYCE JOHNSON, TO COME FORWARD. SPACE. ALL RIGHT, SO, MAYOR, COUNCIL, THANKS FOR LETTING ME COME TODAY. I'M GOING TO HIT THE BUTTON. MAYOR COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME COME TODAY. WE'RE HERE BECAUSE DEPUTY CHIEF JEREMY GALBREATH GRADUATED FROM THE 294TH SESSION OF THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, NATIONAL ACADEMY. THE 294TH SESSION OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY CONSISTED OF MEN AND WOMEN FROM 48 STATES IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. THE CLASS INCLUDED MEMBERS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES FROM 14 COUNTRIES, SIX MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS, AND FOUR FEDERAL CIVILIAN ORGANIZATIONS. INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN FOR ITS ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE, THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OFFERS TEN WEEKS OF ADVANCED COMMUNICATION, LEADERSHIP, AND FITNESS TRAINING. PARTICIPANTS MUST HAVE PROVEN RECORDS AS PROFESSIONALS WITHIN THEIR AGENCIES TO ATTEND.ON AVERAGE, THESE OFFICERS WHO ATTEND HAVE 21 YEARS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERIENCE AND USUALLY RETURN TO THEIR AGENCIES TO SERVE IN EXECUTIVE LEVEL POSITIONS. DEPUTY CHIEF GILBERT SCOTT JUST A COUPLE MORE THAN 21 YEARS AND ABSOLUTELY RETURNED TO FULFILL AN EXECUTIVE POSITION.
THE FBI ACADEMY INSTRUCTOR, SPECIAL AGENTS AND OTHER STAFF WITH ADVANCED DEGREES PROVIDE THE TRAINING. MANY INSTRUCTORS ARE RECOGNIZED INTERNATIONALLY IN THEIR FIELDS. SINCE 1972, NATIONAL ACADEMY STUDENTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EARN UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE CREDITS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, WHICH ACCREDITS ALL NATIONAL ACADEMY COURSES OFFERED. SO JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. THE NATIONAL ACADEMY IS ONE OF THE THREE BIG COMMAND SCHOOLS IN THE COUNTRY.
IT IS PROBABLY THE PREMIER ONE. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST A DECADE THAT A MEMBER OF THE IDAHO FALLS POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS GRADUATED FROM THE NATIONAL ACADEMY, AND THAT WAS A HUGE FOR US. THE OTHER TWO BIG COMMAND SCHOOLS, ONE IS SPY SOUTHERN POLICE INSTITUTE AND THEN THE NORTHWESTERN COMMAND COLLEGE. DEPUTY CHIEF GILBREATH IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW WHO HUMAN BEINGS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT HAS GRADUATED FROM TWO OF THOSE, BOTH THE FBI NATIONAL ACADEMY AND THE NORTHWEST ONE, AS A SPECIAL NOTE THAT THE CLASSES ARE ALL HARD. HE GOT HIS YELLOW BRICK FOR THE FITNESS PART OF IT. A COUPLE OF, YOU KNOW, KNEW HIM BEFORE AND AFTER, COMMENTED, BOY, YOU LOOK GREAT BECAUSE IT IS NOT EASY. AND HE DID THAT. AND SOMETHING I'M PARTICULARLY PROUD OF HIM FOR IS THE PROBABLY THE HARDEST CLASS THE ACADEMY TEACHES IS ABOUT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. THE FBI BEHAVIORAL HEALTH UNIT WAS MADE FAMOUS THROUGH A LOT OF MOVIES AND TELEVISION SHOWS, AND I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER THAT STARTED THE CLASS, BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS OVER 30. AND BY THE TIME THE CLASS IS OVER, I THINK YOU CAN COUNT THE PEOPLE THAT FINISHED IT ON ONE HAND. AND DEPUTY CHIEF GILBERT WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. SO WITH THAT MAYOR, THANK YOU. YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS FOR ME. SO PRECIOUS CARGO. ALL RIGHT, COME ON UP. ALL RIGHT. SO IT IS MY PRIVILEGE TO WHEN WE HIRE A NEW OFFICER TO SWEAR THEM IN AND
[00:05:08]
ADMINISTER THE OATH OF OFFICE SO THAT THEY CAN BE CONSIDERED SWORN OFFICERS AND WEAR THEIR BADGE AND DO THEIR JOB. AND THEN THE SECOND THING WE DO IS WE HAVE THEM AND THEY'RE REQUIRED TO SIGN THE OATH OF OFFICE AND THE OATH THAT THE THAT A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER SIGNS IS QUITE LENGTHY. IT'S, YOU KNOW, REGULAR SMALL SIZE, YOU KNOW, 12 OR 11 FONT PRINT AND MULTIPLE PARAGRAPHS ON A PAGE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE OATH SAYS, AND IF YOU EVER WANT TO JUST FEEL PROUD, GO READ THAT. LOOK IT UP. IDAHO FALLS FOR SOMEONE GOES ABOUT THIS. BUT ONE OF THE LINES IN THERE. COMMITS THE OFFICER WHO IS TAKING THE OATH AND SIGNING IT THAT THEY WILL NOT THE OATH, BUT THE CODE OF ETHICS. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO TALK ABOUT. CODE OF ETHICS, NOT THE CODE OF ETHICS. THE CODE OF ETHICS. IT SAYS I WILL TAKE THE INITIATIVE. I'M PARAPHRASING, BUT TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE MY SKILLS AND TO GET THE EDUCATION THAT I NEED IN ORDER TO, YOU KNOW, FULFILL MY DUTIES. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY THEY ENTER LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH BASIC TRAINING AND THEN THEY GAIN EXPERIENCE. BUT OVER TIME THEY FIND THAT MAYBE THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE A SPECIAL TEAMS SWAT OR RESCUE OR SOME OF THE OTHER. I'M NOT GOING TO LIST THEM ALL BECAUSE I'LL FORGET THEM. BUT SOME OF THE SPECIAL TEAMS THAT WE HAVE IN THE DEPARTMENT AND FOR. DEPUTY CHIEF GALBRAITH TO HAVE TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO GO NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE TO OBTAIN THIS EXTRA TRAINING, SPEAKS VOLUMES AS TO HIS, I GUESS, INTERNAL DESIRE TO IMPROVE HIS SKILLS AS AN OFFICER AND AS A PUBLIC SERVANT. WE HAVE A POLICE DEPARTMENT FULL OF INDIVIDUALS WHO BEHAVE LIKE THAT, AND IT'S PARTLY BECAUSE OF THE EXAMPLE YOU SET. SO ONE OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT THE FBI ACADEMY DOES PRESENT TO ITS PARTICIPANTS IS THIS BEAUTIFUL COIN. AND MANY OF YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT COINS ARE IN MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT CIRCLES. AND. WELL, AND FIRE. BUT BUT TO PUT THAT TO YOU AND THEN ALSO AFTER THEY COMPLETE THE EXPERIENCE, THEY GET TO STRUT A LITTLE BIT A LITTLE SWAGGER. THEY HAVE THIS THAT'S APPROVED TO BE WORN ON THE UNIFORM. SO WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PIN IT? I THINK IT WAS RIGHT ABOVE YOUR NAME, RIGHT ABOVE YOUR NAME. SO IT'S A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, YOU SEE THIS BEFORE YOU SEE HIS NAME. IT'S KIND OF SPECIAL. SO THERE'S I WON'T TRY TO PIN IT ON YOU BECAUSE I PROBABLY STAB YOU IN THE HEART. I DON'T. SO, CHIEF. COME ON, COME ON BACK UP AND JUST KNOW HOW VERY PROUD WE ARE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND THEN THE LAST THING WE HAVE FOR I'M GOING TO CALL JEREMY BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS MY FRIEND. AND I APPRECIATE HIM IMMENSELY.THE IDAHO FALLS POLICE DEPARTMENT EXEMPLARY SERVICE COIN BECAUSE HE IS AN EXEMPLARY LEADER AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR HIM. SO WITH THAT, THANK YOU MAYOR. THANK YOU COUNCIL. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I THINK. OH AND WILL YOU. GO AHEAD AND INTRODUCE THE GUEST YOU BROUGHT TODAY? OH, THAT'S MY FIRSTBORN, MY 20 YEAR OLD SON, IAN GALBRAITH, WHO? APPEARS TONIGHT AS WE ARE. I. SO WE HAVE ANOTHER SPECIAL AWARD TO OFFER TONIGHT. AND IT'S. WELL, IT IS THE MAYOR'S CHOICE AWARD. NOW, THE MAYOR'S CHOICE AWARD IS A CITY LEVEL AWARD THAT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2021, AND IT'S CHOSEN BY MYSELF WITH INPUT FROM COUNCIL DIRECTORS AND STAFF. AND THE AWARDS WERE DESIGNED TO CREATE OR TO RECOGNIZE OUTSTANDING RESIDENTS OR BUSINESSES OR ORGANIZATIONS, OR MAYBE AN OUTSTANDING EFFORT OR SOMETHING NOTABLE THAT WAS DONE WITHIN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. AND SO WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE THOSE THOSE PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE WHO MADE A UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION TO THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS. THIS EVENING, WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING A MAYOR'S CHOICE AWARD TO AN OUTSTANDING CITIZEN, SOMEONE WHO CHECKS NEARLY EVERY SINGLE CITIZEN BOX CITIZENSHIP BOX THAT YOU COULD THINK OF. GENERALLY, WE PRESENT THESE AWARDS AT THE FIRST CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF THE YEAR, BUT THIS PRESENTATION IS BEING MADE OUTSIDE THE USUAL SCHEDULE TO ENSURE THAT OUR RECIPIENT RECEIVES THE RECOGNITION THAT SHE SO DEEPLY DESERVES. WE WANT HER TO EXPERIENCE AND ENJOY THE GRATITUDE THAT IS COMING HER WAY TONIGHT. AND SO TONIGHT WE RECOGNIZE CARRIE SCHEID FOR HER EXCEPTIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE
[00:10:09]
CITY OF IDAHO FALLS WITH. THE OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT AWARD. ENRICHMENT MAY NOT BE THE SEXIEST WORD, BUT IT YOU'LL YOU'LL SEE IT HAS A LOT OF MEANING. SO THIS IS SLANTED. SO I'M GOING TO SET THIS HERE RIGHT NOW. SO LET ME SAY FOR ALMOST 29 YEARS, CARRIE'S EFFORTS HAVE SERVED TO SHAPE IDAHO FALLS INTO THE VIBRANT, COMPASSIONATE AND CREATIVE COMMUNITY WE KNOW AND LOVE TODAY. AND IT'S A TRUE PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE HER LEGACY WITH THIS EVENING. TO DO THIS, I'VE ENLISTED THE HELP OF SEVERAL CITY. CITY FOLKS WHO WILL HELP TO TELL THE STORY. IT'S ALMOST LIKE A CITY COUNCIL READER'S THEATER. BUT. BUT NOT TO WHAT WITH NO PLOT ANYWAY. ANYWAY, THEY'RE GOING TO HELP ME TELL THE STORY SO THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE WHY CARRIE IS SO DESERVING OF THIS RECOGNITION. AND SO WITH THAT COUNSELOR ROBERT. EVERYBODY ELSE JUST COME BE READY TO GO. REVITALIZING DOWNTOWN IDAHO FALLS CARRIE PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN REVITALIZING DOWNTOWN IDAHO FALLS, AS SHE SERVED AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE IDAHO FALLS ARTS COUNCIL FOR 15 YEARS, FROM 1994 TO 2009. IN THAT ROLE, SHE HELPED LEAD THE $4.5 MILLION RESTORATION IN TODAY'S DOLLARS. THAT'S 10 MILLION. JUST LOOK THAT UP. RESTORATION OF THE COLONIAL THEATER AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WILLARD ARTS CENTER. TWO ANCHORS THAT DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE. AND SHE KNOWS HOW TO THROW A PARTY BECAUSE GUESS WHO CELEBRATED THAT ON MARCH 1999, RAY CHARLES. WOW. TWO ANCHORS OF THE DOWNTOWN EXPERIENCE. HER EFFORTS ALSO SUPPORTED THE INSTALLATION OF PUBLIC ART, INCLUDING THE WELL-KNOWN ART BENCHES THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN. SHE SERVED ON THE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BOARD AND OTHER CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS FOR MANY YEARS. STAY WITH US. FRONTIER CENTER, FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE CIVIC AUDITORIUM. IN 2016, CARRIE WAS APPOINTED TO SERVE ON THE CITY'S NEWLY FORMED CIVIC CENTER ADVISORY COMMITTEE. TO THIS ROLE, SHE BROUGHT OVER TWO DECADES OF EXPERIENCE AND LEADERSHIP TO THE GROUP. SHE SERVED AS A CHAIR FOR A TIME AND WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN SHAPING THE CURRENT CAPITAL CAMPAIGN FOR THE FRONTIER CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS LOBBY EXPANSION, HELPING TO RAISE OVER $5 MILLION TOWARDS THE $7.2 MILLION PROJECT. BEFORE THAT, SHE OVERSAW THE FUNDRAISING FOR THE FIRST PHASE OF THE FRONTIER CENTER RENOVATION, AND THAT WAS VALUED AT $1.8 MILLION. AND SHE WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN THAT RAISING OF THAT AS WELL. IT WAS THE RENOVATION OF THE INTERIOR OF THE FRONTIER CENTER, INCLUDING THE INSTALLATION OF NEW SEATING, THE ORCHESTRA PIT LIFT THAT MANY OF US ENJOY WHEN WE GO TO THE SYMPHONY AND OTHER EVENTS AT THE AUDITORIUM, AS WELL AS THE REFRESH AREA SPECIFIC FOR THE 1950S COLOR PALETTE THAT'S INSIDE THE AUDITORIUM. ACTIONSCRIPT. CARRIE WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN THE IDAHO NONPROFIT CENTER. SHE. HER WORK EXTENDED FAR BEYOND THE ARTS. HER WORK IN IDAHO FALLS WITH THE COLONIAL THEATER TOOK HER TO A STATEWIDE BOARD IDAHO NONPROFIT CENTER, AND IN THAT CAPACITY, SHE WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL IDAHO GIVES CAMPAIGN. THIS NOVEL FUNDRAISING INITIATIVE RAISES FUNDS A FEW DAYS EACH MAY FOR A VARIETY OF WORTHY NONPROFITS STATEWIDE. THE PLATFORM IS AN ONLINE GIVING EXPERIENCE WHERE GENEROUS IDAHOANS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR INCOME, CAN JUST GIVE. THEY DON'T HAVE TO GET DRESSED UP OR BUY CANDY BARS OR WRAPPING PAPER OR BID ON ANYTHING THEY JUST GIVE. ONE OF THE MANY NONPROFITS THAT CARRIE HAS WORKED ON OVER THE YEARS IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME, AS SHE IS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF SNAKE RIVER ANIMAL SHELTER. THE SHELTER'S MISSION IS TO CREATE A SAFE SPACE FOR ANIMALS IN NEED. AND THE ROLE THAT SHE HIRED ME IN RECRUITED ME IN OVER THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO TO SERVE AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. I'VE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL FROM HER, AND IT'S BEEN AN HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO HAVE SUCH A POWERFUL ROLE MODEL. AND THERE'S MORE CEI TRUSTEE AFTER VOTERS IN THIS COMMUNITY PASSED A BALLOT MEASURE CREATING A COLLEGE OF EASTERN IDAHO COMMUNITY COLLEGE, CARRIE BECAME[00:15:04]
ONE OF THE INAUGURAL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. SHE BELIEVES IN THE VALUE OF ADULT EDUCATION AND THE POWER THAT KNOWLEDGE HAS TO MAKE OR REMAKE A LIFE. AS A TRUSTEE, SHE HAS HELPED ESTABLISH STRONG FISCAL POLICY. SHE HAS USED HER CONSIDERABLE TALENTS TO HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR AN INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLY IMPRESSIVE AND LEADING EDGE FUTURE TECH BUILDING. CARRIE WAS ALSO A POST REGISTER COLUMNIST. TOGETHER WITH HER LOVING HUSBAND JERRY, THEY CO-WROTE A COLUMN FOR THE POST REGISTER FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. THEIR BANTER OFTEN AMUSED US, EVEN AS IT INFORMED US THEY MIXED RAPIER SHARP WITH FOLKSY APHORISMS AND QUOTES FROM THE LIKES OF MARK TWAIN AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN. THEIR ANNUAL FLUB AND BILE AWARDS WERE ALWAYS FUN.BILE STANDS FOR BAD IDAHO LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS, AND FLUB STANDS FOR FOOLISH LEGISLATOR UTTERANCES OR BLUNDERS. CARRIE VOLUNTARILY MANAGED WHAT GREW INTO A VERY LARGE EMAIL LIST KNOWN AS THE MIDDLE. ITS PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE GENERAL CIVIC AND POLITICAL AWARENESS, AND TO ENCOURAGE A COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO IDAHO'S POLITICS. IT WOULD BE A DUTIFUL LIST LEADER.
CARRIE HAD TO PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO STATE AND LOCAL POLITICS. SHE'S HELPED A GREAT MANY PEOPLE FIND THEIR CIVIC VOICE, AND SHE WAS NOT CONTENT TO JUST WRITE ABOUT WHAT SHE SAW. CARRIE IS KNOWN FOR USING HER CONSIDERABLE SKILLS AND INFLUENCE TO RECRUIT QUALITY CANDIDATES TO RUN FOR ELECTED OFFICE, AND IF THEY SAID YES, SHE WAS THERE TO HELP THEM RUN THEIR CAMPAIGNS. SHE SHE SOUGHT PEOPLE WITH POLITICAL SAVVY, COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND OLD FASHIONED SMARTS. SHE WAS SHE HAS ALWAYS TRUSTED THAT IDAHO CAN BE GOVERNED QUITE WELL WITHOUT IDEOLOGICAL EXTREMISM. SO WHETHER IT'S THROUGH PUBLIC ART, NONPROFIT ADVOCACY, EDUCATION OR CIVIC LEADERSHIP, CARRIE HAS DEDICATED HER TIME, HER ENERGY AND HER PASSION TO THINGS, TO THE THINGS THAT SHE BELIEVES IN AND WHAT HAS BEEN THE RESULT OF WORKING ON THE THINGS THAT SHE CARED MOST ABOUT. THE RESULT IS THAT I BELIEVE I CAN ACCURATELY SAY, WHAT KIND OF DARE ANYBODY TO PROVE ME WRONG, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THERE IS. I DON'T KNOW, I'LL SAY IT THIS WAY. I THINK IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO FALLS RESIDENT IS BETTER OFF BECAUSE OF HER. CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT VERY MANY CITIZENS, BUT WE CAN SAY THAT ABOUT CARRIE. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT. MY SINCERE HOPE IS THAT THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE WHO, LIKE CARRIE, CAN SPOT A NEED AND WHO, LIKE CARRIE, WILL STEP UP AND TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, MEET THE NEED, CREATE A SOLUTION, CREATE A PATH FORWARD. SHE DIDN'T DO EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. SHE'S DONE A LOT. BUT THERE'S STILL MORE AND I HOPE PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW HER EXAMPLE. CARRIE HAS POURED HER HEART AND SOUL INTO THIS CITY AND THIS COMMUNITY WITH LEADERSHIP THAT'S BEEN GENEROUS AND HAS BEEN VISIONARY AND STEADFAST. SHE MOVED HERE AS THAT JONTY. SHE WORE THE JAUNTY LITTLE BERET AND SEQUINED MINI SKIRTS 3029 YEARS AGO AND BROUGHT ALL KINDS OF NEW YORK MOXIE WITH HER. AND SHE MADE THIS COMMUNITY BETTER, AND SHE MADE IT HER OWN IN A VERY SPECIAL CARRIE KIND OF WAY. SO IT'S OUR HONOR AND OUR PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT HER WITH THIS AWARD THIS EVENING, ACCEPTING THE AWARD ON HER BEHALF THIS EVENING IS HER LOVING HUSBAND. JERRY. AND JERRY WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND GIVE THIS TO YOU. AND I BELIEVE YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY. WELL, I'M JERRY SCHEID. I'M THE GUY THAT HAS THE GREAT GOOD FORTUNE TO BE MARRIED TO KAREN. BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T BE HERE DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES. CARRIE ASKED ME TO TELL YOU HOW HONORED SHE IS TO RECEIVE THIS AWARD. SHE REALLY APPRECIATES IT. AND SHE SAID, BE SURE TO THANK THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FOR THIS SPECIAL RECOGNITION. SHE ALSO WANTS TO THANK HER IDAHO STEEL POTATO LADY FRIENDS. A NUMBER OF THEM ARE HERE THIS EVENING, MANY OF WHOM SHE DRAFTED TO HELP WITH HER PROJECTS, WHICH LED TO THEIR SUCCESS. A SPECIAL THANKS ALSO GOES TO LAURA FAIRWAY FOR HER
[00:20:05]
AMAZING HELP. CARRIE ALSO WANTS YOU TO KNOW HOW SPECIAL OUR COMMUNITY IS WITH ITS CAN DO ITEM ATTITUDE FOR MAKING ITEM CALLED A BETTER PLACE. BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THEY WERE RAISING MONEY TO RENOVATE THE COLONIAL THEATER, CARRIE ASKED ONE OF HER BOARD MEMBERS, A LOCAL CONTRACTOR, WHY HE WAS INVOLVED. HIS ANSWER WAS, I'M TIRED OF IDAHO FALLS BEING JACKSON HOLES UGLY STEPSISTERS. AND LOOK AT US NOW. I'D SAY IDAHO FALLS IS A BEAUTIFUL GEM OF A TOWN AND A LOT MORE LIVABLE THAN JACKSON. THANK YOU AGAIN, I'M CARRIE. AND WE'RE LINING UP THE PHOTO.I'LL JUST MENTION THAT ONE OF THE READERS WAS NOT. TWO OF THE READERS WERE NOT CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. ONE WAS PAM ALEXANDER, WHO OVERSEES. SHE'S THE DIRECTOR OF MUNICIPAL SERVICES. AND PART OF THAT. AS PART OF THAT, SHE OVERSEES THE FRONTIER CENTER AND ALL THAT HAPPENS THERE. AND THEN THE OTHER WAS MARGARET WIMBORNE. MARGARET HAS HAD A LOT OF CAREERS IN THIS COMMUNITY. SHE HAS A JOURNALISM BACKGROUND, BUT WE HAVE HER NOW AS OUR MY CHIEF OF STAFF, AND SHE SERVES THE ENTIRE CITY IN THAT CAPACITY. SO ANYWAY, LET'S GET SOME PICTURES TOGETHER. I WANT YOU. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT. NOW SO THAT CARRIE. SO THAT CARRIE CAN ENJOY BECAUSE THE CAMERA DOESN'T NECESSARILY SHOW THE WHOLE ROOM. I'D LIKE TO INVITE EVERYBODY WHO'S HERE BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO. BECAUSE SHE'S RECEIVING THIS AWARD. COME ON UP. LET'S GET A BIG, GIANT GROUP PICTURE. COME ON. UP. YEAH. SECURITY CAN BE. TALLER THAN ME. OH. NO. NO, NO. OH, WELL. NO, YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE. YOU CAN SEE. OKAY, EVERYBODY SAY CHEESE. CHEESE. SAY, CARRIE IS THE BEST.

WE'LL JUST PAUSE THE ORDER OF BUSINESS FOR JUST A MOMENT WHILE EVERYBODY SORTS OUT WHERE THEY WANT TO BE. BUT FOR THOSE WHO CAME FOR THIS EVENT OR FOR THIS PRESENTATION THIS. ALL RIGHT, TE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS LISTED AS THE PUBLIC AS PUBLIC COMMENT. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T HAVE A COPY OF THE AGENDA, THERE IS A QR CODE ON THE BACK WALL. AND IF YOU POINT YOUR PHONE THERE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PULL UP THE ENTIRE AGENDA, OR AT LEAST PART OF IT WITH THE AGENDA IS SO BIG TONIGHT THAT IT HAS HAD BROKEN INTO TWO TWO CHUNKS. AND SO WE HAD SOMETHING LIKE THAT. A WHOLE REAM OF PAPER OR MORE WOULD GO INTO PRINTING TONIGHT. SO ANYWAY, IF YOU'D LIKE THAT INFORMATION THAT'S BACK THERE, BUT THE PUBLIC COMMENT IS THE TIME WHEN WE INVITE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES. AND IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE WHO'S HERE FOR THAT, WE'D WELCOME THEM UP TO THE PODIUM. THERE ARE SOME GUIDELINES AND SIDEBOARDS ASSOCIATED WITH PUBLIC COMMENT, BUT I'M NOT SEEING THAT WE NEED TO REVIEW THAT BECAUSE NOBODY'S RUSHING TO THE PODIUM. AND SO I
[5. CONSENT AGENDA]
THINK WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS GO AHEAD AND MOVE ON. THEN WE'LL BE TO PART FIVE OF THE AGENDA, WHICH IS OUR CONSENT AGENDA. AND THESE ITEMS ARE ITEMS THAT ARE TYPICALLY WITHOUT CONTROVERSY AND ARE ABLE TO REPRESENT BUSINESS. THAT IS PART OF THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS. THAT[00:25:08]
COUNCIL DOESN'T REALLY FEEL THE NEED TO DO A LOT OF DELIBERATION. BUT THERE IS AN ITEM ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. THERE'S A PROVISION FOR COUNCIL MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO ASK THAT SOMETHING BE PULLED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PUT ON TO THE REGULAR AGENDA FOR SOME ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION OR DELIBERATION. TYPICALLY, WE DON'T DEBATE WHAT'S ON OR WE DON'T EVEN. WE JUST LIST IT AND THEN WE MOVE ON AFTER APPROVAL. SO, COUNCILOR FRANCIS, YES, I MAKE A REQUEST. I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE ITEM C1, WHICH IS THE CONDUCTOR PURCHASE ITEM, AND I SUGGEST THAT WE PUT IT RENUMBERED AS REGULAR AGENDA ITEM B2. THAT WAY BOTH THOSE ITEMS ARE TOGETHER OKAY. AND THAT'S IN PART SIX. SO. AND I COULD GET MY RESEARCH INTO THAT.I WOULD LIKE THE PUBLIC RECORD, NAMELY THE MINUTES TO REFLECT THE REASON WHY SOME OF THE BID WAS REJECTED. OKAY. SO WITH THAT, WE'LL ASK OUR CITY CLERK TO READ THE CONTENTS OF THE NEWLY REVISED CONSENT AGENDA INTO THE RECORD, AND THEN THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION FROM COUNCILOR LARSON. THANK YOU. MAYOR, FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR, WE HAVE THE APPOINTMENT OF TIA PANTER TO THE IDAHO FALLS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. FROM MUNICIPAL SERVICES.

[6.A.1) Tentative Approval of the 2025/26 Fiscal Year Budget]
THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY. NOW WE'RE READY TO MOVE TO THE REGULAR AGENDA. THAT WOULD BE PART SIX. AND THE VERY FIRST DEPARTMENT WITH ITEMS BEFORE THE COUNCIL TONIGHT IS MUNICIPAL SERVICES. I BELIEVE THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT ITEMS. AND THE FIRST ONE IS A DOOZY. AND SO WE THOUGHT WE'D CATCH YOU WHILE YOU'RE FRESH BEFORE WE GET TOO TIRED TONIGHT. SO, DIRECTOR ALEXANDER, GO AHEAD AND TALK TO US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS FIRST ITEM, WHICH IS THE TENTATIVE APPROVAL OF THE 2526 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET. SO THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US THIS EVENING TO TALK ABOUT WHAT WE WORK ON FOR MANY MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR, AND THAT IS OUR TENTATIVE BUDGET APPROVAL FOR THE 2526 FISCAL YEAR. FOR THOSE THAT YOU DON'T THAT DON'T KNOW, OUR BUDGET STARTS OCTOBER 1ST OF EVERY YEAR, AND IT CONCLUDES ITSELF JUNE 30TH OF EVERY YEAR. SO THIS BUDGET WILL BE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST OF 2025 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH OF 2026. YOU SAID JUNE 30TH, NOT SEPTEMBER 30TH, I SAY JUNE. OH, WOW. SORRY ABOUT THAT. SEPTEMBER 30TH. SO JUST TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT REAL BRIEFLY ON WHAT TO EXPECT HERE.THE FISCAL YEAR BUDGET IS STARTED BACK IN MARCH. A LOT OF THE DEPARTMENTS AND THE DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS STARTED PUTTING THEIR BUDGETS TOGETHER, DRAFTS. AND THEN IT CAME TO A CRESCENDO EARLIER THIS MONTH WHERE WE HAD THREE BUDGET TUESDAYS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING BUDGET FEES, EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN THINK OF, CAPITAL PROJECTS, EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF. WE SQUEEZED INTO THREE, THREE MEETINGS ON A BUDGET TUESDAY. SOME OF THEM WERE VERY LONG, BY THE WAY, BUT THE PUBLIC NOTICE WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE PAPER AS REQUIRED BY STATE STATUTE THIS SATURDAY, AUGUST 2ND AND AUGUST 9TH. I'M NOT SURE WHY IT SAYS THIRD, BUT PARDON ME, BUT IT SHOULD SAY AUGUST 9TH. THE PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE THURSDAY, AUGUST 14TH. IT BEGINS IN THIS ROOM AT 7:30 P.M. THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO COME OUT AND PARTICIPATE IN THE BUDGET PROCESS. IT IS A FORMAL PUBLIC HEARING AND WE WILL HAVE PRESENTATIONS FOR FEES FOREGONE AND THE ACTUAL BUDGET ITSELF. CURRENTLY THIS EVENING WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A TENTATIVE NOT TO EXCEED BUDGET. THE TOTAL, AS YOU CAN SEE UP HERE, IS $389,634. SORRY, $389,634,976. IT. THIS TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED BUDGET INCLUDES RATES AND FEES FOR SERVICES, A STATE, AND GRANT REVENUE THAT WE ANTICIPATE TO RECEIVE OVER THE TERM OF THIS
[00:30:02]
UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR. 3% PROPERTY, 3% STATUTORY PROPERTY TAX LEVY, 1% FOREGONE FOR ONGOING FIRE OPERATIONS, WHICH ARE DETAILED IN THE PUBLIC NOTICE THAT YOU'LL SEE THIS WEEKEND ON SATURDAY. AND THEN WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT TAKING 1% OF THE ALLOWABLE 3% FOREGONE FOR ONE TIME, FOR A ONE TIME PROJECT RELATED TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S STORAGE FACILITY CAPITAL PROJECT. SO WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SHARE. WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 14TH. AND WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO SEE IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. SO IF YOU COULD JUST CLARIFY. SO THE ORDER AND THE LOGIC OF IT, WE HAD THE OR MAYBE I'LL START AND YOU CAN FILL IN THE GAPS. WE APPROVE A TENTATIVE BUDGET BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S ONLY TENTATIVE. IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN THIS IS OUR FIRST, YOU KNOW, OFFICIAL VERSION. THEN THAT IS WHAT IS BECOMES THE BASIS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO WISH TO MAKE COMMENTS OR TO STUDY IT AND, AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES ABOUT IT AT THE HEARING THAT WE HAVE THAT'S BEING ADVERTISED. THEN AFTER THE COUNCIL. TAKES IN AND RUMINATES ON EVERYTHING THEY HEAR AT THE HEARING, THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BUDGET. BUT STATE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW THE BUDGET TO BE INCREASED AT THAT TIME. IT CAN ONLY BE DECREASED. SO THOSE ADJUSTMENTS CAN ONLY BE DOWNWARD BASED ON THINGS THEY MAY HEAR AT THE HEARING. AM I RIGHT OR IS THERE ANYTHING WE'RE MISSING HERE? ABSOLUTELY. YOU NAILED IT. EXACTLY. OKAY. AND SO THEN AFTER THAT, TWO WEEKS LATER, THERE WILL BE THAT FINAL VOTE. SO THERE IS A TWO WEEK PERIOD WHERE THEY CAN TAKE IN EVERYTHING THEY HEARD AT THE HEARING. SO IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED IN BEING ACTIVE, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS TENTATIVE BUDGET AND THEN FEEL FREE TO TESTIFY AT THE HEARING AND GIVE YOUR $0.02 TO THE COUNCIL. AND I ALSO FORGOT TO I NEGLECTED TO MENTION, PARDON ME, THAT THE BUDGET BOOK, THE DRAFT BUDGET BOOK WITH THE SENATE DID NOT TO EXCEED BUDGET AMOUNT, WILL BE POSTED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE FOR THE PUBLIC TO PERUSE AT THEIR LEISURE. IT IS BUDGET LINE ITEM, AND THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLANS FOR THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS FOR THIS UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR. VERY GOOD. AND THERE MAY STILL BE A FEW TYPOS IN THERE BECAUSE IT'S A DRAFT BUDGET BOOK. THE FINAL WILL COME OUT WHEN EVERYTHING'S ALL SAID AND DONE. SO OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO COUNCIL MEMBERS, ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. SO I GUESS WE'RE LOOKING FOR THAT TENTATIVE APPROVAL. COUNSELOR, I HAVE A QUICK COMMENT. OKAY. BUDGET IS REALLY SHOULD BE GOOD READING FOR EVERYBODY IN THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS. IT REALLY HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND WHY THAT NUMBER IS $389 MILLION. OKAY, READY? I MOVE THAT COUNCIL APPROVE THE TENTATIVE 20 2526 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET FOR A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $389,634,976, AND GIVE AUTHORIZATION TO PUBLISH THE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING. I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT. CITY CLERK, I THINK WE HAVE A VALID MOTION. IT'S READY FOR A ROLL CALL. VOTE. FRANCIS I. FREEMAN. YES.DINGMAN. YES. LARSON. YES. RADFORD. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. SO FROM THERE, STAFF
[6.A.2) Purchase and Installation of Replacement Boiler for the Wes Deist Aquatic Center]
WILL PUT THAT IN THE NEWSPAPER. NEXT ONE. WHAT IS IT? THIS NEXT. YEAH. THIS NEXT ITEM IS A BOILER REPLACEMENT FOR THE WEST AQUATIC CENTER. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, THAT BOILER IS OVER 20 YEARS OLD. AND WE HAVE BEEN DOING A REALLY GREAT JOB WITH THE REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE. BUT WE'RE GETTING TO A POINT WHERE WE REALLY NEED TO REPLACE IT. IT'S NOT BEEN AS TRUSTY AS KIND OF LIKE OLD FAITHFUL HAS NOT BEEN UP IN YELLOWSTONE. SO WE ARE ACTUALLY ASKING TO REPLACE THAT. AND WE DID GET MONEY APPROVED IN THIS BUDGET TO DO SO. I BELIEVE THE TOTAL BUDGET AMOUNT THAT WAS APPROVED WAS $260,000. WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS ITEM THIS EVENING IS WE ACTUALLY ARE REQUIRED, PER STATE STATUTE, TO GO OUT FOR A FORMAL BID, WHICH THE CITY DID DO FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, AND WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY FORMAL BIDS FOR IT. SO WHAT THE STATE STATUTE ALLOWS, FOR ONCE YOU FORMALLY BID IT AND YOU DON'T RECEIVE ANY BIDS, YOU'RE ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO GO OUT ON THE OPEN MARKET. AND WE WERE WORKING WITH OUR ENGINEER, MECHANICAL ENGINEER ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, AND HE SCOURED SOME, SOME SOURCES THAT HE HAD. AND WE ACTUALLY WERE ABLE TO GET A VERY NICE QUOTE THAT IS WITHIN BUDGET FROM MECHANICAL SOLUTIONS FOR A TOTAL OF $234,645. SURE. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? OKAY. THEN THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I MOVE THAT COUNCIL APPROVE THE QUOTE RECEIVED FROM MECHANICAL SOLUTIONS FOR A TOTAL OF $234,645. I'LL SECOND. VERY[00:35:09]
GOOD. CITY CLERK, WILL YOU CONDUCT A VOTE FOR US? FREEMAN. YES. BRADFORD. DINGMAN. YES.[6.A.3) Roof Replacement--City Hall Annex Building 25-314]
FRANCIS I. LARSON. YES. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. PAM. LET'S TALK ABOUT OR. I'M SORRY, DIRECTOR ALEXANDER, LET'S TALK ABOUT ROOF REPLACEMENT. OKAY. WELL, THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY FOR THIS BUILDING THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW. WE WERE HOPING TO GET IT REROOFED LAST YEAR, BUT WE HAD A PROJECT THAT WE PARKED IN FRONT OF IT THAT WAS MORE OF A PRIORITY. SO WE ACTUALLY BUDGET APPROXIMATELY TWO ROOFS A YEAR. WE HAVE OVER 100 BUILDINGS AND NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE ROOFS, BUT SOME OF THEM DO. AND THIS PARTICULAR ITEM OF WE WERE ALLOWED PER STATE STATUTE TO DO WHAT THEY CALL AN INFORMAL BID PROCESS. WE ARE REQUIRED TO AT LEAST SECURE AT LEAST THREE MINIMUM OF THREE BIDS, AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE TO GET THESE BECAUSE OF THE VENDORS LOOK AT WHAT THEIR WHAT THEIR CALENDAR LOOKS LIKE AS FAR AS OTHER PROJECTS THAT THEY HAVE BEFORE, WE'RE ACTUALLY ABLE TO REQUEST A QUOTE FOR THIS. SO WE DID REQUEST A QUOTES THROUGH THE INFORMAL PROCUREMENT PROCESS THAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO PER STATE STATUTE. WE DID SEE RECEIVE THREE QUOTES. THE LOWEST QUOTE WE RECEIVED WAS FROM SMITH ROOFING FOR A TOTAL OF $103,636.THE OTHER TWO QUOTES RECEIVED WERE $134,310, AND THE THIRD ONE WAS $197,409.

[5.C.1) IFP 25-12 Conductor Purchase - IRBY, GenPac, Western United Electric 25-325]
MOTION CARRIES. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER THE. BID AWARDS THAT COUNCILOR FRANCIS WANTED US TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME ON IDENTIFYING WHY SOME WERE ACCEPTED AND SOME WERE REJECTED. YEP. AND AS I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION, WE THERE'S TWO KINDS OF WIRE WE REALLY LOOK AT. ONE IS WHAT WE CALL PRIMARY THAT'S RATED TO 15,000V AND THE OTHER SECONDARY WHICH IS 600 VOLT WIRE THAT THE PRIMARY WIRE, THAT 15,000 VOLT WIRE. THERE'S TWO TYPES OF INSULATION THAT ARE USED IN THE INDUSTRY. ONE IS XLPE AND THE OTHER IS EPR. XLPE IS A PLASTIC TYPE PRODUCT. IT'S STIFFER. IT'S BEEN OUT THERE FOR A LONG TIME. EPR IS KIND OF IS A MUCH MORE FLEXIBLE WIRE. AND THAT'S WHAT WE STANDARDIZED AS A UTILITY AND USED FOR A LONG TIME. SO IT'S NOT UNUSUAL IN THIS BID. SOMEBODY SAID WE CAN SELL IT TO YOU CHEAPER. WE CAN SAY XLPE WHICH DOES NOT MEET OUR STANDARDS, DOESN'T MEET OUR STANDARDS. GET CREDIT FOR TRYING. BUT THAT'S THE REASON WE'RE STICKING WITH THE EPR WIRE FOR THAT PRIMARY WIRE CHOICE. SO THAT'S THANK YOU. SO THE TOTAL BIDS 833,542. WHICH TELLS YOU WHY WE PUT IN IN A YEAR OKAY.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COUNCILOR FRANCIS, IS THAT SATISFACTORY? WONDERFUL. COUNSELOR. I JUST CONTINUE TO LIKE WHEN WE GET RID OF THESE AND THEN COME BACK AND WE NEED TO. I JUST DON'T WANT THIS TO BECOME SOMETHING THAT WE SAY NO TO BIDS, AND THEN WE NEED TO SEE WHAT YOUR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. SO I KNOW YOU HAVE A PROCESS FOR THAT. SO THAT MY WORRY IS IF WE WERE TO REJECT BIDS AND THEN WE COULD JUST SAY WE'RE GOING TO GO FIND IT ON THE MARKET AND THEN WE DON'T NECESSARILY HEAR EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS. SO THAT'S BEEN A CONCERN THAT I'VE HAD. YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW THAT ISN'T A CONCERN IF YOU WANT TO DESCRIBE THAT, BECAUSE I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID. YEAH. THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT THERE'S WE DID THAT WITH THE DOWNTOWN OUTLET. WE HAD BIDS ARE EXTREMELY HIGH AND WE REJECTED THOSE BIDS AND WENT BACK OUT. AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IN TWO WEEKS. AND THAT PROCESS TURNED OUT WELL FOR US. WE GOT ANOTHER BIDDER AND WE TOOK SOME STUFF OUT OF THAT PROJECT. THIS IS DIFFERENT. THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A NUMBER OF BIDDERS, ONE OF THEM DIDN'T MEET OUR SPECIFICATION AND THEY JUST THEY'RE NON-RESPONSIVE THERE AT THAT POINT IN TIME. VERY GOOD. ALL RIGHT. CITY CLERK, WILL YOU TAKE THE VOTE FOR US? OH, COUNCILOR FREEMAN, WE HAVEN'T MADE A MOTION. OH, THAT'S RIGHT, WE NEED A MOTION. OKAY, I WOULD I WOULD MOVE THAT COUNCIL APPROVE THE BID. IFP 25 DASH 12 FOR $833,542.29. SECOND. THANK YOU. WE HAVE A FIRST. WE HAVE A SECOND. THAT IS A MOTION THAT'S READY FOR A VOTE. LARSON. YES.

THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS AN ADDITIONAL WORKER WORK REQUEST UNDER WORK ORDER 2401 WITH OUR DIRECTOR. THAT WORK ORDER HAS ITS ORIGINS IN THE 2022 CONCEPT BUDGET REPORT FOR THE TERMINAL EXPANSION. EXCUSE ME. IT WAS FOLLOWED IN 2023 BY DESIGN WORK THAT ESTIMATED BUDGET FOR THAT WAS IMMEDIATELY INSUFFICIENT, AND ORDER WAS DIRECTED TO ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE BUDGET CHALLENGES THROUGH SOME VALUE ENGINEERING EXERCISES, REVISITING SOME MAJOR PROJECT DECISIONS, AND REPHASING THE PROJECT THAT ORIGINALLY OR SORRY THAT ULTIMATELY LED TO THE UTILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE PHASE THAT BEGAN LAST MONTH. THE COST OF THE CHANGES TO GET US TO THAT POINT WERE THE DESIGN SIDE WAS $427,408.74. WE DID FOLLOW FAA GUIDANCE IN DETERMINING THE[00:45:01]

[6.D.1) State Local Agreement and Resolution with the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) for the Science Center Drive; North Boulevard to Holmes Avenue Project]
FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT, DIRECTOR. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT DEPARTMENT WITH BUSINESS BEFORE THE COUNCIL IS PUBLIC WORKS. AND WITH THAT, WE HAVE OUR DIRECTOR OF THAT DEPARTMENT, CHRIS FREDERICKSON, HERE THIS EVENING. AND HIS LIAISONS, I THINK, ARE KURT LARSON AND COUNSELOR FRANCIS. AND SO WE'LL BE HEARING MORE FROM THEM AS MOTIONS ARE REQUIRED. BUT YOU HAVE A HANDFUL OF ITEMS. WE DO. WE DO MORE THAN A HANDFUL. YEAH. AND BEFORE I DIVE INTO SOME OF THESE, I DO WANT TO APOLOGIZE JUST FOR THE NUMBER OF PAGES, THE VOLUME OF READING THAT WE SUBMITTED THIS PAST WEEK. IT'S I KNOW IT'S VERY FULL PACKET, BUT VERY IMPORTANT ITEMS FOR SURE. IF IT'S OKAY, WE'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND DIVE INTO THESE A LITTLE BIT. MAYOR. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. THE FIRST ITEM WE HAVE FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE STATE LOCAL CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT WITH ITD FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF OUR NORTH BOULEVARD AND SCIENCE CENTER DRIVE. THIS PROJECT INCLUDES CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND REHABILITATION OF PAVEMENT ON ANDERSON STREET FROM NORTH BOULEVARD TO HOLMES AVENUE. THE CONSTRUCTION IS ANTICIPATED FOR THE SUMMER OF 2026, AND THE TOTAL ESTIMATED COST IS $3,068,480. UNDER THE AGREEMENT, THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION AT A RATE OF 7.34%. HOWEVER, CURRENT CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATES EXCEED THE PROGRAM FUNDING, WHICH NECESSITATES A MATCH OF $393,802 TO PROCEED WITH BIDDING. CITY STAFF HAVE REQUESTED END OF YEAR FUNDING THROUGH THE MPO TO COVER THE SHORTFALL, AND WE HOPE TO HAVE THE FINAL APPROVAL TO UTILIZE THESE FUNDS THAT THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE CONSIDERED IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST. AND SO TO SUBMIT THOSE, WE ACTUALLY NEED TO APPROVE THE MATCH AS SHOWN IN THAT PARTICULAR AGREEMENT. SO IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS I CAN, COUNSELOR, WOULD THE CONSTRUCTION START IN 2626? OKAY. AND IT DOESN'T DESIGN THE WAY THOSE STREETS COME TOGETHER. THAT'S RIGHT. IT DOES. SO IT DOES HAVE A MORE STANDARD INTERSECTION AND BOULEVARD ANDERSON OKAY. A LOT OF THAT INTERESTING GEOMETRY THAT WE HAVE TODAY WILL GO AWAY. OUR PROJECT. GOOD. OTHER QUESTIONS OKAY. SO WITH THAT, COUNCILOR LARSON WILL BE MAKING THE MOTION. I MOVE THE COUNCIL, APPROVE THE STATE LOCAL AGREEMENT AND RESOLUTION WITH ITD FOR THE SCIENCE CENTER, DRIVE NORTH BOULEVARD TO HOLMES AVENUE PROJECT, AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO SIGN THE DOCUMENTS. SECOND. ALL RIGHT, CITY CLERK, WE HAVE A MOTION READY FOR A VOTE. WILL YOU CONDUCT IT FOR US? FREEMAN.YES. RADFORD A. LARSON. YES. DINGMAN. YES. FRANCIS I MOTION CARRIES. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU.
[6.D.2) Resolution - Adopting Revised Amendments to the 2020 Edition of the Idaho Standards for Public Works Construction (ISPWC)]
ALL RIGHT. WE'RE READY FOR THE NEXT ONE, DIRECTOR. SO THE NEXT IS A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD ADOPT REVISED AMENDMENTS TO THE 2020 EDITION OF IDAHO STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION. OVER THE PAST YEAR, CITY STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED NECESSARY MODIFICATIONS TO THE PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED AMENDMENTS. SEVERAL OF THE PROPOSED REVISIONS WE DISCUSSED AT THE FEBRUARY 10TH WORK SESSION, PROBABLY THE MOST MEANINGFUL OF WHICH WAS THE ADDITION OF SECTION 900, WHICH DEALS WITH OUR PRESSURIZED IRRIGATION, WHICH IS A NEW STANDARD THAT WE'RE WORKING ON HERE IN THE CITY OF OTTAWA. PROBABLY THE SECOND ITEM OF MOST IMPORTANCE AS PART OF THIS NEW CHANGE IS THAT THIS WILL REQUIRE ON SITE GENERATION FOR ANY NEW SANITARY SEWER LIFT STATIONS INSTALLED WITHIN THE CITY. THE REMAINDER OF THOSE AMENDMENTS ARE ACTUALLY PRETTY MINOR IN NATURE. A LOT OF THOSE ARE JUST CLARIFICATIONS ON STANDARD DRAWINGS OR OTHER SPECIFICATIONS, BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THERE MAY BE ON THAT PARTICULAR[00:50:02]
COUNCIL MEMBER. INGLIS. YEAH, WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK IT'S REALLY GOOD THE WAY YOU'VE GOT THE PART ABOUT WHEN YOU SHUT WATER OFF FOR A BLOCK OR A RESIDENT, IT'S VERY CAREFULLY MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE GET WATER. IT'S VERY WELL STATED IN THERE. I'D LIKE TO THANK THEM FOR THAT.AND WHEN YOU SAY PRESSURIZED IRRIGATION, YOU'RE TALKING USING THE SURFACE WATER FOR THE LANDSCAPING. IRRIGATION. IS THAT IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. OTHER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. EXCUSE ME, I THINK THEN WE'RE READY FOR A MOTION. I MOVE THE COUNCIL APPROVE THE RESOLUTION, ADOPTING A REVISED AMENDMENTS TO THE 2020 EDITION OF THE PWC, AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO SIGN THE DOCUMENT. SECOND. ALL RIGHT, CITY CLERK, WILL YOU CONDUCT THE VOTE FOR US? DINGMAN. YES. FRANCES A. FREEMAN. YES. LARSON. YES. RADFORD. AYE. MOTION
[6.D.3) Resolution - Adopting an Amended Engineering Design Policy Manual (EDPM)]
CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. AND WE HAVE ANOTHER TECHNICAL MANUAL THAT. THAT'S FINE. OKAY. YEAH. USUALLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PREVIOUS RESOLUTION THAT WE APPROVED, WE ALSO HAVE ONE ADOPTING AN AMENDED ENGINEERING DESIGN POLICY MANUAL. SO THIS REALLY GIVES GUIDANCE TO ANYONE THAT'S WORKING IN THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS. AND THE BUILDING PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS. THIS PARTICULAR ADOPTION I SHOULD MENTION FOR BOTH DOCUMENTS, IF APPROVED TONIGHT WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST. SO THEY'LL ALL BE DATED AS SUCH. BUT THERE WERE VERY MINOR REVISIONS TO THIS PARTICULAR DOCUMENT. SECTION 40.6 CHANGED A REFERENCE TO THE CORRECT STANDARD DRAWING, WHICH IS I 409 THAT DEALS WITH OUR WATER MAIN ACCESS STRUCTURE. AND THEN IN CONCERT WITH IDAHO FALLS POWER SERVICE POLICY. ALL OF THE TYPICAL SECTIONS OF THE ROADWAYS THAT WE BUILD IN IDAHO FALLS SHOW AN ADJACENT 15 FOOT UTILITY. SO THAT KIND OF SOLIDIFIED THE TWO DOCUMENTS THAT THEY SHOW THE SAME INFORMATION. SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. CAN YOU TELL US WHY IT HAS TO BE AN OCTOBER 1ST EFFECTIVE DATE, RATHER THAN JUST NOW? AND THEN WE JUST GRANTED ANY PROJECT THAT'S IN THE WORKS, YOU KNOW, IS ACCEPTED, BUT WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT? IS THERE OTHER PREP THAT ANY OF THESE CHANGES AFFECT ONGOING CONSTRUCTION THAT WE HAVE? SO WE ALWAYS MUCH LIKE IMPACT FEES, WE WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE A HEADS UP OF THESE ARE COMING. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE BILL WITH DEVELOPERS ON THE NEED TO INSTALL SECONDARY IRRIGATION OR UTILIZE UTILIZATION OF SURFACE WATER, SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR SOME TIME. WE WANT TO GIVE CONTRACTORS AND DEVELOPERS A HEADS UP ON THESE CHANGES SO THEY CAN PLAN ACCORDINGLY. AND DO YOU ANTICIPATE ANY PUSHBACK? I DON'T BELIEVE SO. NO, I THINK THE ONE ISSUE THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF THE LARGER CHANGE IS THAT ADDITION OF A GENERATION FOR OUR SANITARY SERVICE STATIONS. BUT A NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES IN IDAHO ALREADY REQUIRE THAT. SO DEVELOPERS THAT WORK AROUND THE STATE, THEY'VE SEEN THAT AS WELL. NOW, WE HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT THIS MUCH. BUT WHEN WE SAY GENERATION, ARE WE JUST ARE WE TALKING WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY? WHAT IS WHAT IS GENERATION. SO THESE ARE GOING TO BE ONSITE GENERATION. SO IF WE LOSE THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO BASICALLY MOVE THE LIFT STATION OR MOVE THE LIQUID THROUGHOUT THE LIFT STATION, THAT GENERATOR HAS AN AUTOMATIC START AND WILL POWER THAT SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY BACKUPS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT. WELL THEN THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I MOVE THAT COUNCIL APPROVE THE RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN AMENDED EDP, AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO SIGN THE DOCUMENT. SECOND. OKAY, CITY CLERK, WE ARE READY FOR A VOTE. BRADFORD DINGMAN. YES. FRANCIS A. FREEMAN. YES. LARSEN. YES. MOTION CARRIES. GOOD. THANK YOU[6.D.4) Purchase and Sale Agreement with Topline Auto Sales Incorporated for property located on Pop Kroll Way]
SO MUCH. THE FOURTH ITEM IS WHAT IS IT? IT'S A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT WITH TOP LINE AUTO SALES. YES. ALSO ATTACHED FOR CONSIDERATION IN THE PURCHASE. SALE AGREEMENT SIGNED BY REPRESENTATIVE POPLIN AUTO SALES. THE AGREEMENT PERTAINS TO A 5.71 ACRE OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2550 PARK ROADWAY, PROPOSED FOR ACQUISITION TO SUPPORT EXPANSION OF THE ADJACENT CITY OWNED ASSETS. THE TOTAL COST TO PURCHASE IS $2,137,500, WHICH WILL BE FUNDED THROUGH THE WATER DIVISION. THE WATER DIVISION IS QUICKLY OUTGROWING EXISTING AVAILABLE SPACE ALONG HAMMOND AVENUE. THIS PROPERTY, PURCHASED, IF APPROVED, WILL ENSURE THAT THE DIVISION IS ADEQUATE SPACE TO GROW WELL INTO THE FUTURE. FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S AN ADDENDUM AT THE BACK OF THE DOCUMENT THAT CLARIFIES THE CLOSING DATE. STANDARD OWNER'S POLICY WHO PAYS ESCROW, CLOSING FEES, RECORDING FEES, AND THAT THE SELLER WILL EXECUTE A NEW WARRANTY AT CLOSING. SO AS PART OF THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR CITY CLERK AND OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND PUTTING THAT DOCUMENT TOGETHER SO QUICKLY SO WE COULD HAVE THIS CONSIDERED THIS EVENING. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PROPERTY PURCHASE. COUNSELOR FRANCIS, COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW WE'RE GOING TO USE THAT PROPERTY AND WHY IT'S ESSENTIAL FOR WATER? YEAH. I'LL DRIVE YOU. SO OUR OUR WATER DIVISION,[00:55:07]
CURRENTLY THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE AND SOME OF THE STORAGE FACILITIES THAT THEY HAVE RESIDES ALONG HEMMERT AVENUE. MOST OF THOSE LOTS ARE VERY THIN. THEY'RE KIND OF SKINNY.LOTS, IF YOU WILL, ABOUT 100FT DEEP. SO AS OUR WATER DIVISION CONTINUES TO EXPAND, WE HAVE A NEED FOR A NEW ADMINISTRATION BUILDING TO HOUSE OUR EXISTING. THE GROWTH THAT WE'VE SEEN WITHIN THE WATER DIVISION AND THEIR EMPLOYEES, AND ALSO THE STORAGE OF MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. SO THIS PROPERTY IS IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO PROPERTY WE ALREADY OWN JUST NORTH OF POP ROAD, WHICH ALLOWS US TO EXPAND INTO THAT AREA. AND THEN FURTHER SOUTH OF THAT YOU HAVE PATROL WAY AND ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THAT, OR OTHER PUBLIC WORKS FACILITIES WHERE OUR STREETS AND SANITATION RESIDES AS WELL. SO THESE PROPERTIES WILL SERVE CITY INTERESTS WELL TO. AND I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS BECAUSE ON THE I'M GLAD THE MAPS UP THERE, IT LOOKS LIKE WE BOUGHT PART OF A BUILDING, BUT THE ORANGE THING IS JUST BLOCKED. INCORRECT. SLIGHTLY OFF RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT. WE ACTUALLY JUST HAVE THE BOX AROUND IT. YOU CAN'T QUITE SEE THE FENCE, SO I'LL SHOW.
POINTER. SO THAT FENCE LINE ACTUALLY IS NOT RIGHT ALONG THERE. SO IT WAS JUST TRYING TO SHOW THOSE TWO PARCELS THAT ARE BEING BLOCKED AS PART OF THAT 5.7 PURCHASE. AND THIS OTHER ONE IS SORT OF A COMMENT, BUT I WORDED IT AS A QUESTION WE SAVED ALREADY FOR THIS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING FOR THE WATER DEPARTMENT. SO IT'S NOT AN INCREASE ON RATEPAYERS TO BUILD A BUILDING. THAT'S RIGHT. YEAH. WE DO HAVE CAPITAL FUNDS THAT WE'VE BEEN DEVELOPING OVER TIME.
AND PART OF THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING WAS PART OF THAT. BUT AS THIS PROPERTY CAME ONTO THE MARKET, IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY FORTUITOUS BECAUSE WE WERE JUST BEGINNING TO START DESIGN WORK. WE DELAYED THAT WORK FLOW. WE NEGOTIATED THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY FOR CONSIDERATIONS. THANK YOU. AND WE DID HAVE TO COMPETE, DIDN'T WE, IN THE MARKETPLACE TO AND AS WE PURCHASED THIS RIGHT. WE IN THE SENSE THAT WE DIDN'T GET IT FOR BARGAIN BASEMENT PRICES. WE IT'S A HIGHER PRICE. IT IS. AND I THINK THAT REALLY WAS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, AS WE HAVE STAFF THAT NEGOTIATED THIS, WE DROVE FOR THE LOWEST COST THAT WE COULD THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER WAS WILLING TO SELL FOR. SO AGAIN, I BELIEVE BASED ON ITS PROXIMITY AND ITS VALUE, I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A GOOD PURCHASE THAT WILL SET THE WATER DIVISION UP FOR. AND THE COUNCIL WAS AWARE THAT WE WERE SEEKING THIS PROPERTY AND THEY GAVE THEIR ASSENT BECAUSE I THINK THERE IS CONSENSUS AMONG THE COUNCIL THAT THIS PROPERTY HAS VALUE. AS THE DIRECTOR HAS SAID, THERE'S GREAT VALUE IN KEEPING LIKE SERVICES TOGETHER. AND IT JUST IT'S GOING TO WORK REALLY WELL GOING FORWARD, IN MY OPINION, AND CREATE A BETTER WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT. WITHOUT A DOUBT, NO QUESTION THAT THAT A NEW FACILITY IS NEEDED. WE TOOK A TOUR ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO AND SAW THE PROBLEM WE'RE FINALLY SOLVING. SOME OF THESE THINGS TAKE A WHILE, BUT AND THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY THE BUDGET IS SO HIGH, BECAUSE IT HAS THIS THE CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE WITHIN, CONTAINED WITHIN AND OR IS THAT FROM THIS YEAR'S BUDGET? IT'S FROM THIS YEAR'S. OH, LAST YEAR'S WAS HIGH TOO. BUT WE HAVE TO INCLUDE CAPACITY FOR THESE PURCHASES WITHIN THAT BUDGET, WHETHER WE ACT ON THEM OR NOT, IN ANY PARTICULAR FISCAL YEAR. AND SO THAT THAT'S PART OF HOW THE BUDGET GETS DRIVEN UP HIGHER.
YEAH, YEAH. ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT CAME UP WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PURCHASING THIS PROPERTY AND FOR THE PUBLIC, IS THAT THEY'RE NOT MAKING ANY MORE LAND. AND THIS THIS HAPPENED TO FALL RIGHT IN OUR LAP, BASICALLY IN A PERFECT LOCATION FOR US. SO IT'S A IT'S A REAL GOOD THING FOR THE CITY. I THINK WE'RE READY FOR A MOTION. I MOVE COUNCIL APPROVE THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT, SALE AGREEMENT WITH TOP LINE AUTO SALES, INC, AND AUTHORIZATION FOR THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO SIGN THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. SECOND. ALL RIGHT, WE HAVE A MOTION READY FOR A VOTE. CITY CLERK, PLEASE CONDUCTED. DINGMAN. YES. FREEMAN. YES. FRANCIS I. LARSON.
[6.D.5) Ordinance Amending Title 8, Chapter 6, Sanitation Service 25-302]
YES. RADFORD. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. OKAY. NOW WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE. AN ORDINANCE YOU WANT THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER? YES. ALSO, JUST FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX SANITATION SERVICE. THIS UPDATE IS A DIRECT RESPONSE TO RECENT LEGISLATIVE ACTION IN THE SENATE BILL 1073, WHICH PROVIDES THAT ANY PERSON MAY CONTRACT A CONTRACT RATHER WITH A SOLID WASTE COLLECTION PROVIDER. THE PERSON IS CHOOSING FOR THE USE OF TEMPORARY, PROJECT SPECIFIC SOLID WASTE COLLECTION CONTAINERS. SO TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY WITH THE STATUTE, THE ORDINANCE HAS BEEN REVISED TO ALLOW SUCH TEMPORARY PROJECT SPECIFIC SERVICE WITHIN THE SANITATION WITHIN THE CITY SANITATION FRAMEWORK. SO ESSENTIALLY THIS DEALS WITH ONE OF THE THREE MAJOR SERVICES THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR SANITATION[01:00:01]
GROUP, THE CONSTRUCTION ROLL OFF. SO IT'S MORE TO SERVE THOSE TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION TYPE PROJECTS. IT'S NOT NECESSARILY YOUR EVERY YOUR WEEKLY SERVICE OR IN THE COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL THING, BUT JUST MORE SO THAT THE TEMPORARY PROJECT SPECIFIC ITEM ADDRESSED BY THE LEGISLATURE. SO I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. JUST IF YOU THINK WHAT THE FINANCIAL PICTURE WILL LOOK LIKE FOR US, MINOR. SO CURRENTLY THE ORDINANCE READS THAT ONE CAN PROVIDE THEY CAN ACTUALLY HAUL THEIR OWN REVENUES, RIGHT? SO IF THEY'RE NOT HAVING REALLY A ADVANTAGEOUS OR PROCURING GAIN IS I BELIEVE, HOW THAT'S WORDED IN THE ORDINANCE THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE THAT PARTICULAR SERVICE. SO IN THIS VEIN, OUR OUR RATES ARE ABOUT HALF OF THOSE PROVIDED OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS IN THE COUNTY. AND SO I DON'T IMAGINE TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ELECT FOR THAT. ALSO, WHEN PEOPLE CALL FOR CONTAINERS, OUR SANITATION GROUP LIKES TO TAKE PRIDE IN TRYING TO PROVIDE THAT CONTAINER WITHIN 24 HOURS. A LOT OF TIMES, OTHER ENTITIES YOU'RE LOOKING AT MAYBE A WEEK TO HAVE THAT CONTAINER SHOW UP ON YOUR CONSTRUCTION SITE. SO THE SERVICE, IT REALLY MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. SO I DON'T THINK THERE'LL BE A HUGE FINANCIAL IMPACT. ALL RIGHT. AND SO THAT STATE LAW WENT INTO EFFECT ON JULY 1ST. AND SO WE HAVE TO GET OUR OUR OWN CODE IN COMPLIANCE. SO IT'S NECESSARY FOR US TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS RIGHT NOW. SO WITH THAT THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. WELL, FIRST I MUST SAY I'M REALLY PROUD OF OUR SANITATION SYSTEM THAT DOES A CONSTRUCTION PICK UP THE WAY IT DOES IT. SO I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT AND MAKE A MOTION. I MOVE. COUNCIL APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX SANITATION SERVICE UNDER SUSPENSION OF THE RULES REQUIRING THREE COMPLETE AND SEPARATE READINGS AND REQUESTS TO BE READ BY TITLE AND PUBLISHED BY. SUMMARY. SECOND, VERY GOOD CITY CLERK, WILL YOU CONDUCT THE VOTE FOR US? DINGMAN. YES. LARSON. YES. FRANCIS A. FREEMAN. YES. RADFORD. AYE. MOTION CARRIES.VERY GOOD. AND NOW STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT AN ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE, AND IT HAS TO BE PUBLISHED AS JUST MENTIONED IN THE MOTION. AND SO WE'LL ASK THE AND THEN IT BECOMES EFFECTIVE.
SO CITY CLERK, WILL YOU READ THIS BY TITLE, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, AMENDING TITLE EIGHT, CHAPTER SIX OF THE IDAHO FALLS CITY CODE TO CONFORM THE CITY'S SOLID WASTE SANITATION SERVICES TO ALIGN WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF IDAHO CODE 5344, PROVIDING SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION, PUBLICATION BY
[6.D.6) Vacation of Easements - Stanger Farms Commercial Subdivision 25-318]
SUMMARY, AND ESTABLISHING EFFECTIVE DATE. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT ITEM THEN WOULD BE THE LAST ONE FROM PUBLIC WORKS. BUT IT REQUIRES OR IT'S ABOUT IT REQUIRES ANOTHER ORDINANCE CHANGE AND IT'S A VACATION EASEMENT. SO AS I MENTIONED WE DO HAVE A VACATION OF EASEMENTS THAT'S BEEN REQUESTED BY THE OWNERS. I BELIEVE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ITEMS IN YOUR PACKET TO TRY TO DETAIL. WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF VACATIONS THAT COME BEFORE THIS BODY FOR CONSIDERATION IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. THERE'S A NUMBER OF EASEMENTS INCLUDED IN THAT PACKET, BUT THE FIRST OF WHICH I BELIEVE WE JUST HAVE THE CITY MAP THAT SHOWS THE LOCATION THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. STAINER FARMS COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION. IT'S AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH YELLOWSTONE HIGHWAY AND ANDERSON STREET. FOLLOWING THAT, WE HAVE A NUMBER OF PARCEL MAPS THAT CALL OUT VARIOUS EASEMENTS BEING VACATED, WHICH ARE SHOWN IN GREEN. WE ALSO HAVE EASEMENTS THAT HAVE FORMERLY BEEN VACATED THAT ARE SHOWN IN RED. AND THEN LASTLY, THE FINAL MAP IS A DIAGRAM OF EASEMENTS TO BE GRANTED BY STANGER FARMS. COMMERCIAL EDITION. FIRST AMENDED PLAT. SO THOSE EASEMENTS ON THAT PARTICULAR DRAWING ARE SHOWN IN OUTLINED IN RED. SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF EASEMENTS BEING REQUESTED FOR VACATION. SO TRYING TO PUT THESE DOCUMENTS TOGETHER TO WHERE THEY MADE SENSE NOT ONLY TO ME BUT TO ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD READ THIS IS KIND OF WHAT WE DO OVER HERE, BUT WE'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. ANYONE THAT'S TRAVELED THROUGH THIS AREA KNOWS THERE'S A GREAT DEAL OF REDEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA. IT'S GOOD TO SEE THESE EASEMENT VACATIONS ARE JUST A RESULT OF TRYING TO PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO BUILD HOW THAT DEVELOPER HAS CHOSEN TO BUILD A PARTICULAR SITE, AND STILL ACCOMMODATE THE NEED OF UTILITIES TO SERVE THOSE. COUNCILOR FRANCIS, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WHAT'S IN RED ON THAT MAP OUTLINED IN RED ARE THE NEW EASEMENTS OR WILL BE MAINTAINED EASEMENTS. I BELIEVE WE HAVE A PLAT COMING FORWARD THAT WILL DEDICATE THOSE UNITS.OKAY OKAY OKAY. IT'S A LOT OF LINES ON THAT MAP. THERE ARE THERE'S A LOT OF UNDERGROUND THAT PEOPLE DON'T THINK ABOUT WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION STARTS. SO OKAY. AND JUST FOR ANYBODY WHO'S LISTENING, THE VERY FIRST TIME THAT I HEARD VACATION, I HAD A VERY DIFFERENT UNDERSTANDING OF
[01:05:03]
THAT WORD. AND SO WHEN WE VACATE AN EASEMENT, EXACTLY WHAT ARE WE DOING? WE'RE SORT OF WE ARE SURRENDERING OUR RIGHT TO AN EASEMENT. AND THE CITY DOESN'T WANT TO JUST DO THAT WILLY NILLY. STAFF HAS TO BE ABLE TO SAY, WE ARE CERTAIN WE WILL NEVER NEED THIS AGAIN, RIGHT? I THINK THAT'S THE POINT. VERY WELL. YEAH. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD, BUT YEAH, THE CITY CAN'T. CAN'T. ABANDON AN EASEMENT LIKE A PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER CAN CAN ONLY OCCUR THROUGH COUNCIL ACTION. THAT'S WHY IT'S IN FRONT OF YOU. SO IT ISN'T LIKE THERE ARE SOME EASEMENTS THAT THE CITY WAS GRANTED THAT MAY NOT BE USED, BUT THEY REMAIN AN EASEMENT WHERE A PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER MIGHT HAVE BE CONSIDERED TO ABANDONING IT OR ABANDON IT IF THEY DON'T USE IT.THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T ABANDON IT UNLESS IT TAKES A FORMAL ACTION, AND WE WOULD WANT TO DO THAT TO ACCOMMODATE REASONABLE GROWTH OR GROWTH. THAT MADE SENSE FOR THE TIME OR THE NEED. RIGHT? AND IF WE EVER WANTED TO HAVE A DIFFERENT EASEMENT THAN WHAT WE'RE GETTING IN THIS NEGOTIATED SORT OF TRADE OFF, THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER TRADE OR SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE. WE WOULD NEGOTIATE THAT WITH THE OWNER. THAT'S RIGHT. OKAY. SO I MEAN ALONG ALONG THE LINES OF WE'RE NOT MAKING ANY MORE LAND. WE ALSO AREN'T MAKING ANY MORE, YOU KNOW, EASEMENTS UNLESS WE ARE ACTIVELY MANAGING THEM. AND SO I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER WHO USED TO ALWAYS SAY, DON'T, DON'T, DON'T GIVE UP AN EASEMENT WITHOUT KNOWING EXACTLY WHY AND WHAT YOU'RE GETTING IN RETURN. SO I JUST I JUST WANTED TO SORT OF UNDERSCORE THAT. ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE'RE READY FOR A MOTION. OH, BY THE WAY, THE MOTION IN THE PACKET OR THE ACTION DESIRED PARAGRAPH IN THE PACKET, MISS WAS MISSING A PHRASE. AND THAT IS IN THE PHRASE THAT YOU HAVE HERE. IT JUST INFORMS THE LANGUAGE IN THE MOTION WHICH SAYS AND PUBLISHED BY SUMMARY, WHICH WE NEED TO HAVE WHEN WE'RE ENACTING AN ORDINANCE. SO THERE IS THAT REVISION THERE. AND I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. I MOVE COUNCIL APPROVE THE EASEMENT VACATION ORDINANCE UNDER A SUSPENSION OF THE RULES REQUIRING THREE COMPLETE AND SEPARATE READINGS REQUESTS TO BE READ BY TITLE AND PUBLISHED BY SUMMARY. SECOND, VERY GOOD CITY CLERK, WE CONDUCT OUR VOTE. YES, FRANCIS I. BRADFORD. LARSON. YES. FREEMAN. YES. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. CITY CLERK, WILL YOU READ THIS BY TITLE? AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, PROVIDING FOR THE VACATION OF MULTIPLE EASEMENTS LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS AND LEGALLY DESCRIBED IN SECTION ONE OF THIS ORDINANCE, PROVIDING THAT TITLE TO SAID VACATED EASEMENT SHALL VEST AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION THREE OF THIS ORDINANCE, PROVIDING THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL BE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT FROM AND AFTER

AND SO TYPICALLY WE DON'T HAVE A STAFF PRESENTATION WHEN IT'S A FINAL PLAT, AND IT'S JUST A MATTER FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER. SO I'M GOING TO TURN IT TO OUR TWO LIAISONS AND ASK THEM TO GIVE ANY INTRODUCTION THEY WOULD LIKE TO, AND THEN ASK YOU TO MAKE YOUR MOTION. ALL RIGHT. I WILL ASK IF THERE'S ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO SAY ANYTHING. YEAH. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION THEN. THIS PLAT TAKES CARE OF WHATEVER THAT ILLEGAL LOT. WAS THAT THE FINAL PLAT COVERS THAT. SO YES, THAT'S THE INTENTION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. OKAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING YOU'D ADD TO THAT, DIRECTOR SANDER? OKAY. WITH THAT, AND I'LL MAKE A MOTION. I WOULD MOVE TO ACCEPT THE FINAL PLAT FOR STANGER FARMS COMMERCIAL EDITION, FIRST AMENDED, AND GIVE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE MAYOR, CITY ENGINEER, AND CITY CLERK TO SIGN SAID FINAL PLAT. SECOND.

[6.E.2) Resolution - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) PY 2025 Annual Action Plan]
CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. SO THAT MATTER IS TIDIED UP AND WE'RE READY TO MOVE ON. THE NEXT[01:10:04]
ITEM COMING FROM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IS CONSIDERATION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, OR CDBG ALLOCATIONS FOR, EXCUSE ME, FISCAL YEAR 2025. AND SO I'M GOING TO INVITE. WE HAVE A PRESENTATION DO WE NOT. NO IT'S JUST STRAIGHT AHEAD. ALL RIGHT.SO THE COUNCIL DID TAKE TIME IN MONDAY'S WORK SESSION TO STUDY AND GIVE THEIR TENTATIVE APPROVAL FOR THIS ITEM TO BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR AN OFFICIAL VOTE TONIGHT. BUT THE ALLOCATION THAT WE HAVE, THE COUNCIL HAS APPROVED USING THE FORMULA, KIND OF A COMPLICATED FORMULA THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROVIDES FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF CDBG FUNDS. THEY HAVE WE HAVE TAKEN ALL THE REQUESTS FOR THOSE FUNDS AND MATCH THEM UP AGAINST THE MONEYS AVAILABLE AND THE RULES ASSOCIATED WITH ALLOCATING THEM, AND CAME UP WITH SORT OF A DISTRIBUTION. NOBODY'S GETTING EXACTLY WHAT THEY ASKED FOR. WE HAD DOUBLE THE ASKS, RIGHT. BUT I'M GOING TO TURN IT TO OUR LIAISONS TO FINISH THE STORY. YEAH. AND I'LL JUST MENTION THAT SOMETIMES YOU'LL SEE ME RECUSE MYSELF IN THIS SCENARIO. BUT MY ORGANIZATION THAT I LEAD DID NOT MAKE ANY BIDS OR MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO DO THIS. SO THAT'S WHY I'M INVOLVED THIS YEAR AND WASN'T LAST YEAR. IF ANYONE'S WONDERING, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SAY BEFORE WE PROCEED? OKAY, THEN I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THE CDBG PROGRAM.
YEAR 2025 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN. SECOND, I HAD SAID FISCAL YEAR EARLIER AND I KNEW THAT FISCAL DID NOT START WITH A P, AND I COULD NOT. BUT I JUST KNOW THAT'S NOT. ANYWAY, PROGRAM YEAR. BUT ANYWAY, I APOLOGIZE. WE ARE READY FOR A VOTE. CITY CLERK. DINGMAN. YES. FRANCIS A FREEMAN. YES. LARSEN. YES. RADFORD. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. A LOT OF
[6.E.3) Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing - Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards, Petersen Place Habitat for Humanity.]
HARD WORK THERE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT THEN, WE'RE MOVING ON TO A PUD. THIS REQUIRES, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, A. SORRY, A HEARING. AND SO AND I AM GOING TO RECUSE MYSELF ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE JUST BEEN INTIMATELY INVOLVED. AND I JUST FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE REASONABLE FOR ME TO RECUSE MYSELF. I'M GOING TO STAY HERE AND NOT VOTE, OKAY, AND NOT MAKE THE MOTION OKAY. NOW BEING INVOLVED, I'M JUST WANT TO CLARIFY IS NOT INAPPROPRIATE. IF YOU ARE NOT BENEFITING FROM THIS MONETARILY. I JUST DON'T WANT TO KEEP THAT. SOUNDS GOOD. SOUNDS GOOD. ALL RIGHT. SO WHEN YOU RECUSE YOURSELF, WE TYPICALLY ASK YOU TO STEP OFF THE DAIS. AND SO IS IT. ALRIGHT IF I DON'T I IT'S NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE LAW FOR YOU TO STEP OFF. BUT IT IS THE TRADITION THAT THE CITY'S GOT STICK. OKAY. JUST TURN OFF YOUR MIC AND LOWER IT, I GUESS. ALL RIGHT. SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO DECLARE THIS HEARING ON A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR. LET'S SEE. I'M SORRY FOR PETERSON PLACE, HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. AND WITH THAT I'M GOING TO ORDER THAT ALL ITEMS PRESENTED IN THE HEARING BECOME PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORD. I FORGOT TO ASK IF THERE WAS ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTED TO RECUSE THEMSELVES. SO THE RECORD WILL NOTE THAT WE DID HAVE A RECUSAL BEFORE I OPENED THE HEARING, BUT IT STILL STANDS. ALL RIGHT. AND WITH THAT, TYPICALLY THE ORDER FOR HEARING IS THAT WE WILL HEAR A PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT. THE APPLICANT CAN BE REPRESENTED BY THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY OR BY AN ENGINEER OR SOME OTHER CONSULTANT THAT THEY DESIGNATE. AND THEN FROM THERE WE'LL HEAR A PRESENTATION FROM CITY STAFF. AND THEN AFTER THAT, WE WILL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY TESTIMONY THAT ANYBODY ELSE WANTS TO GIVE RELATIVE TO THE TOPIC. ALL ALONG. I TEND TO RUN A LOOSE SHIP IN THAT IF COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE QUESTIONS THEY CAN ASK THEM ALL ALONG. THEY DON'T HAVE TO SAVE THEM UP UNTIL THE END OF THE WHOLE HEARING. AND SO FIRST THING WE'LL DO THEN IS ASK IF THE APPLICANT HAS A REPRESENTATIVE THAT'S COMING FORWARD. PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND LET US KNOW. MAYBE YOUR BUSINESS NAME. AND IF YOU'RE A CITY RESIDENT. YEP. MY NAME IS CONNOR ERB, REPRESENTING THAT DESIGNED THE PETERSON PLACE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY JOB. OUR OFFICE IS LOCATED AT 101 PARK AVENUE, NUMBER 200, IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO 83402. SO FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, IS A RETURNING APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL FOR THE PETERSON PLACE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY PUD. GENERALLY SPEAKING, THIS IS A WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE THIS. IT WOULD BE A MIXTURE BETWEEN A HIGH DENSITY HOUSING PROJECT AND A COMMUNITY[01:15:06]
ORIENTED HOUSING PROJECT. THE REASON IT'S BACK ON THE TABLE NOW IS BECAUSE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY FOUND THAT IT WAS NECESSARY TO HAVE MORE UNITS IN THEIR OVERALL DESIGN, AND THAT EXCEEDED THE AMOUNT THAT COULD BE CHANGED WITHOUT RE-APPROVAL FOR IT. ORIGINALLY, WHEN THIS WAS ON DECK WITH, I BELIEVE IT WAS 74 UNITS AND NOT THE CURRENT 87, IT WAS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.I THINK IT'S A VERY NICE PROJECT AND I WOULD GLADLY OFFER QUESTIONS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO ANSWER THEM. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. ERB AT THIS TIME? ALL RIGHT. WE ASK THAT YOU DON'T GO. DON'T GO TOO FAR BECAUSE QUESTIONS POP INTO PEOPLE'S BRAINS. YEAH, IT'S THE STRANGEST THING. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, WE'LL LOOK FOR A STAFF REPORT. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, WADE CENTER, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PUD FOR THE PETERSON PLACE. AND I HAVE QUITE A FEW SLIDES TO GO THROUGH ON THIS PROJECT. THIS IS A HABITAT FOR HUMANITY PROJECT. IT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AND HABITAT HAS BEEN A REALLY GREAT PARTNER WITH US AND PATIENT WITH THE CITY, BUT ALSO JUST A REALLY GOOD PARTNER AND TRYING TO BRING LOW TO MODERATE INCOME HOUSING AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO THE CITY.
THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED THIS LONG SLIVER OF LAND RIGHT HERE TO THE. IT'S ON WEST BROADWAY, JUST WEST OF THE SOCCER COMPLEX, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE, AND THE AIRPORT IS JUST ADJACENT ON OAK VIEW ROAD. THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED R2 AND IN THE URBAN TRANSECT. IT SITS ON THE BORDER OF MIXED USE CENTERS AND CORRIDORS AND OPEN SPACES AND OPEN SPACE. DESIGNATION FOR THE TRANSECT TO THE EAST BEING PRIMARILY DEALING WITH THE SOCCER COMPLEX TO THE EAST AND THE OPEN SPACE, WHICH IS AIRPORT PROPERTY. THIS IS THE. THE PICTURE IS TILTED, SO REALIZE TO THE LEFT IS NORTH AND I WANTED TO GO THROUGH THE PUD AND WHY THIS IS BEING BROUGHT BEFORE YOU TODAY. SO THE PUD WAS APPROVED BACK ON JUNE 4TH OF 2024. IT WAS ACTUALLY 73 UNITS THAT WERE APPROVED AT THE TIME WHEN HABITAT LOOKED AT THEIR INITIAL PLAN, THE 73 WERE APPROVED AND THEN THEY CAME BACK TO US AND THEY WANTED TO INCREASE THE DENSITY TO 87 UNITS, AND THAT 87 UNITS COMPRISES OF 35 COTTAGE HOMES, 23 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS, SEVEN FOURPLEXES AND ONE WHAT THEY'RE CALLING A MANAGEMENT HOUSE. SO BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE OF UNITS THAT WERE BEING REQUESTED, THE PUD, THEN IT'S AN AMENDMENT. SO THEY HAVE TO COME BACK THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH THE PUD. THERE'S THREE PROPOSED AMENITIES. JUST SO YOU KNOW, FOR THE ZONING DISTRICT ONLY TWO ARE REQUIRED. SO THEY ARE THEY ARE PROPOSING ACTUALLY ONE MORE AMENITY. AND ONE OF THOSE I CONGLOMERATED INTO IS NINE PERGOLAS THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY. BUT WE'VE JUST CONSTITUTED IT AS ONE AMENITY. THE LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS ARE 25%, HABITAT IS PROPOSING 33% OF THE PROPERTY TO BE COVERED WITH LANDSCAPING, SO THEY EXCEED THE REQUIREMENT. THE. PROPOSED DENSITY IS 7.61. MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE IS 17 UNITS PER ACRE.
SO THEY ACTUALLY ARE COMING IN UNDER WHAT THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE DENSITY IS. AND PARKING REQUIREMENTS ARE 139 REQUIRED STALLS. AND THEY'RE PROPOSING 168 STALLS FOR THE 87 UNITS. THE PROPERTY. THE PUD WILL BE BUILT IN THREE PHASES. THE FIRST ONE, THEY'RE PROPOSING THAT TWO OF THEIR AMENITIES BE CONSTRUCTED IN PHASE ONE, AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL AMENITY TO BE DONE IN LATER PHASES. TYPICALLY, WHAT AL BUILD FIRST A FINANCE AND THEN THEY'LL PUT THESE AT THE END.
JUST HABITATS PROPOSING THAT AT THE FRONT. WE ACTUALLY APPRECIATE THAT. IT'S JUST MAKES IT EASIER CHECKING THE AMENITIES. ONE ASPECT OF THIS I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE AERIAL IS I WANT TO ADDRESS A LITTLE BIT OF ERNEST DRIVE. ERNEST DRIVE OVER HERE IS CURRENTLY ON
[01:20:06]
AIRPORT PROPERTY. THE FAA IS REQUIRING THEM TO MOVE THAT ROAD. SO THERE IS A AS PART OF THIS PROJECT. JUST BE AWARE THAT ERNEST DRIVE WILL SHIFT OVER TOWARD THOSE LINES OF TREES THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY. SO THEY'RE SHIFTING IT OFF THAT WHERE IT CURRENT, ITS CURRENT LOCATION IS. OH, GOOD. THERE'S MY HERE. SO YOU CAN SEE IT. IT COMES UP ALONG THIS SIDE. SO THE ERNEST DRIVE WILL BE SHIFTED OVER THE DESIGN WORK. AND THAT CONSTRUCTION IS BEING HELPED OUT BY THE CITY. SO WE ARE UNDERTAKING THAT THE PARKING LOT THAT IS CURRENTLY EXISTING RIGHT THERE ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER IS GOING TO REMAIN AND HAVE ACCESS VIA ERNEST DRIVE. SO JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE THAT ERNEST DRIVE REALIGNMENT WILL BE PART OF THIS IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE GO TO THE FLAT, OF COURSE, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PUD. SO WE'RE BASICALLY LOOKING AT ZONING. PART OF PUDS IS THEY HAVE TO SHOW US WHAT IS GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE PROPERTY. SO I'LL JUST TAKE YOU THROUGH A FEW OF THE RENDERINGS. THE FIRST IS THIS IS THE FOURPLEX CONCEPT THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING. SO REMEMBER THAT THIS WILL BE THERE'LL BE SEVEN OF THESE CONSTRUCTED. THIS IS THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. AND THEY ARE PROPOSING 23 UNITS ON THE PROPERTY. AND THEN THESE ARE THE COTTAGE HOMES WHICH THEY WILL BE 35 PROPOSED FOR THE PROPERTY. CURRENTLY THERE IS AN EXISTING HOME AND SOME, I THINK WE CALL IT A BARN, BUT IT'S A MAINTENANCE, I DON'T KNOW, SHOP.YEAH, SHOP. THANK YOU. THAT'S BEEN TRYING TO BE A LITTLE PC I GUESS ON THAT. BUT BUT THOSE ARE PROPOSED TO BE UTILIZED AS PART OF THIS PROJECT. AND THEN THIS IS JUST A LOCATION, THE PROPERTY YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THE TREES HAVE ALREADY BEEN CLEARED ON THE PROPERTY. THIS WENT TO, AS I SAID, PLANNING COMMISSION ON THE 4TH OF JUNE OF 2024. AT THAT MEETING, I HAVE INCLUDED WITH YOU THE MINUTES I JUST AND JUST TO BE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT ON THIS. THERE WAS SOME THERE WAS AN INDIVIDUAL THAT CAME IN OPPOSITION AT THAT MEETING OVER A YEAR AGO. THEIR PRIMARY CONCERNS WERE DEALING WITH THE IMPACT THIS WILL HAVE ON THE SCHOOLS, WITH THE DENSITY AS WELL AS THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THESE BEING OWNER OCCUPIE. HABITAT RESPONDED TO THAT COMMENT. WHEN WE DON'T WE DON'T LOOK AT SCHOOLS, WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE SUBDIVISIONS AND PUDS AND HABITAT JUST COMMENTED THAT THEY ARE OWNER OCCUPIED WHEN IT WENT BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION BACK IN MARCH. ON MARCH 4TH OF 2025, THERE WAS NO ONE THERE IN OPPOSITION. AND SOME, I'M SURE SOME FROM HABITAT WILL SPEAK TODAY. BUT THERE WAS NO OPPOSITION AT THAT HEARING. SO WITH THAT, I'M I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS PUD. I KNOW HABITAT IS HERE AS WELL AS THEIR CONTRACTOR AND ENGINEER THAT SPOKE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AS WELL. COUNCIL MEMBER DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS YET AT THIS TIME? OKAY. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR SANDER. THEN I GUESS WE WILL. NOW EXCUSE ME, TURN TO OPEN TESTIMONY FOR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISH TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS WITH THE COUNCIL BEFORE A VOTE IS TAKEN. ALL RIGHT. SEEING THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY COMING FORWARD, THEN I WILL MOVE TOWARD CLOSING THE HEARING. BUT FIRST I WANT TO ASK COUNCIL IF THEY HAVE THOUGHT OF ANY QUESTIONS THAT THEY WANT TO ASK OF MR. HERB OR MISS LANSING. YES. JUST CURIOUS, WHAT KIND OF TIME FRAME DO YOU THINK THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET? HARD? KAREN LANSING, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HABITAT THAT'S A HARD QUESTION TO ANSWER IN TODAY'S ECONOMY, BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT NEW WAYS OF FUNDING THESE THE HOMES, GETTING THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN AND READY TO BUILD IS THE BIG OBSTACLE. ONCE WE HAVE THAT DONE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE INFRASTRUCTURE WON'T START UNTIL SOMETIME NEXT SEASON. NOW. BUT THE FIRST PHASE WILL PROBABLY TAKE SEVERAL YEARS. THE FIRST 30 HOMES. I MEAN, I'D LIKE TO BE OPTIMISTIC AND SAY WE CAN BUILD TEN HOMES A YEAR. THAT'S
[01:25:03]
YET TO BE SEEN, BUT MOST HABITAT HAS DONE IN THE PAST IS 3 OR 4. SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THE REAL OBSTACLE IN FINISHING IT AFTER THE 30 HOMES IS THE EXTENSION OF EARNEST ALL THE WAY UP TO SILVERLEAF, AND SO WE MAY HAVE TO PUT THE BALANCE OF IT ON HOLD UNTIL WE SEE LIGHT AT THE END OF THAT TUNNEL. THANK YOU. OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS, COUNCILOR, YOUR QUESTION LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE BACK UP BECAUSE I'VE HEARD TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT ONE OF THEM SAYS IN THIS DEVELOPMENT THEY'RE NOT INDIVIDUALLY OWNED. OKAY. IS THAT CORRECT? THIS IS THIS IS A HOUSING COOPERATIVE COMMUNITY. IT WILL BE THE FIRST COOPERATIVE COMMUNITY IN THE STATE OF IDAHO. THIS IS A CONCEPT THAT'S USED NATIONALLY. AND OTHER HABITAT AFFILIATES ARE DOING THIS. WE ARE AHEAD OF THE CURVE A LITTLE BIT HERE IN IDAHO, BUT THEY OWN THE RIGHT TO RESIDE IN THEIR HOMES WHEN THEY DECIDE TO. THEY DON'T HAVE TO EVER LEAVE. THEY CAN STAY THERE AS LONG AS THEY WANT, AND THEY GET WHAT WE CALL A SHARE LOAN, WHICH IS THE VALUE OF THE HOUSE. SO WE WILL BE RECOUPING OUR COST OF BUILDING THROUGH THE SHARE LOANS. THE REASON HABITAT LIKES THIS CONCEPT IS IT'S HALFWAY BETWEEN RENTING AND HOME OWNERSHIP. BUT IT'S RENTING KIND OF LIKE RENTING WITH EQUITY. AND SO PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO GROW A NEST EGG, AND I CAN SEE YOUNG FAMILIES MOVING IN STAYING SEVERAL YEARS. WE PURCHASED THE HOME BACK AND PEOPLE MOVING IN WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE HABITAT SELECTION PROCESS IN ORDER TO MOVE IN. WE'LL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL ON WHO'S COMING AND GOING IN THESE HOUSES. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE SELL DEEDED PROPERTY, SOMETIMES THE OWNER WILL SAY, THIS IS MY HOME NOW, YOU KNOW, AND WE'VE HAD SITUATIONS ARISE WHERE THEY ARE KIND OF SUBLEASING PART OF THE HOUSE AND THAT KIND OF THING, A HOUSING COOPERATIVE. THEY HAVE TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO MOVE IN AND HAVE TO REGISTER ALL THE OCCUPANTS IN THE HOME. IF THEY DECIDE TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD, THE NEW CHILD HAS TO BE REGISTERED WITH THE HOUSING COOPERATIVE. AND SO I SEE IT AS A WAY OF REALLY MAINTAINING CONTROL OVER THE COMING AND GOING OF PEOPLE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. I'M EXCITED TO GET THIS ONE GOING, AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A CONCEPT THAT WILL WILL CATCH ON. WE'RE ALSO PUTTING THE GROUND INTO A LAND TRUST. SO THE PEOPLE COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY DON'T HAVE TO PUT ALL THAT RESOURCE OUT INTO PURCHASING THE GROUND. OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF. ALL RIGHT THEN AT THIS TIME I WILL CLOSE THE HEARING. AND MAYOR. YES. BEFORE YOU CLOSE IT, JUST CHECK WITH THE APPLICANT TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANYTHING TO REBUT AGAINST THE STAFF. OKAY.PRESENTATION. IT'S HARD TO REBUT WHEN NOBODY REALLY OFFERED ANY TESTIMONY, BUT I'M GOING TO, IN CASE THE STAFF REPORT SAID SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY THAN YOU WOULD LIKE. IT'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO STEP FORWARD. AND I HAVE NO REBUTTALS. I BELIEVE THE STAFF PRESENTED IT QUITE WELL. THERE'S SOME DISCUSSION ON THE ERNEST DRIVE PLACEMENT AND HOW THE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS SHOULD BE PERFORMED BETWEEN THE CITY AND HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, BUT THAT'S ALSO WHAT THE STAFF DISCUSSED. OKAY. AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, PARKS AND RECREATION IS THE ENTITY THAT YOU'RE WORKING WITH ON THAT OR IS IT CBS? HABITAT FOR HUMANITY IS WORKING WITH PUBLIC WORKS.
PUBLIC WORKS. OKAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THIS HEARING. AND I'M GOING TO TURN IT TO OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS, WHO ARE THE ONES WHO LIAISE WITH CPS TO LEAD THE COUNCIL IN ANY DISCUSSION OR COMMENTS. OR ANYTHING WE WILL EXPLAIN. CAN I MAKE ONE MORE COMMENT? I KNOW IT'S OKAY. WELL, IF YOU THINK IT'S GERMANE TO THE DECISION THAT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL MAKE, THEN I CAN REOPEN THE HEARING FOR THE PURPOSE OF HEARING. MISS LANSING, IF COUNCIL HAS NO OBJECTION TO THAT. ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL REOPEN IT AND TAKE YOUR COMMENT. ONE OF THE REASONS I THINK THIS WILL BE A VERY WORTHWHILE PROJECT FOR OUR COMMUNITY IS THE EQUITY ON THESE HOMES, AS OPPOSED TO RENTING, THAT'S STAYING IN OUR COMMUNITY. THE RESIDENTS WITHIN PETERSON PLACE WILL BE GAINING EQUITY,
[01:30:06]
AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THE AREA BY A DEVELOPER. AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. WE'LL HAVE 76 HOMES, 87 HOMES IN THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GOING TO ADD A LOT OF RESOURCES TO OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MISS LANDRY. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT COMMENT. THEN I'LL CLOSE THE HEARING AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON.WE HAVE COUNCILOR LARSON DOESN'T HAVE ANY COMMENT. COUNCILOR RADFORD, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE? COUNCILOR FREEMAN I JUST HAVE ONE. AND I KNOW THIS IS TAKEN A LOT LONGER THAN WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE. AND, AND BUT WE ARE GOT HERE. RIGHT. WE GOT SO WE'RE AT THIS POINT NOW AND I'M REALLY GLAD TO SEE IT HAPPENING. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COUNCILOR, I WAS JUST IN A MEETING AND ONE OF THE FIRST QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO FOR AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING HERE? IT IS RIGHT HERE. AND IT'S A GREAT PLAN. AND HABITAT HAS SUCH A LONG REPUTATION OF BEING RELIABLE, BOTH IN THIS COMMUNITY AND NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. SO I'M JUST THANKFUL, THANKFUL. IT'S COME FORWARD TO THIS POINT. VERY GOOD POINT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
ANYTHING ELSE? THE CHAIR. THEN THE CHAIR WILL ENTERTAIN A COUPLE OF MOTIONS TO TAKE CARE OF THE ITEM. SO MOTION TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT. I MOVE THAT COUNCIL APPROVE THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR PETERSON PLACE HABITAT FOR HUMANITY AS PRESENTED SECOND. ALL RIGHT, WE ARE READY FOR A VOTE. CITY CLERK, WILL YOU CONDUCT THAT FOR US, BRADFORD? YOU RECUSED YOURSELF. I ALREADY HAD THAT NOTE. LARSON. YES. FREEMAN. YES. FRANCIS I. DINGMAN. YES. MOTION CARRIES. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. HOW ABOUT THE RECENT STATEMENT? I MOVE THE COUNCIL, APPROVE THE RECENT STATEMENT OF RELEVANT CRITERIA AND STANDARDS FOR THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR PETERSON PLACE, HABITAT FOR HUMANITY, AND GIVE AUTHORIZATION TO THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. SECOND CITY CLERK, WILL YOU CONDUCT A VOTE? DINGMANN. YES. FREEMAN. YES.
LARSON. YES. FRANCIS. AYE. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. NOW, AT THIS TIME, WE.
CONGRATULATIONS. BY THE WAY, THIS IS I AGREE WITH COUNCILOR FREEMAN. WE ARE NOW ON THE WAY TO DOING SOMETHING REMARKABLE. SO AND VERY MEANINGFUL. AND, YOU KNOW, I BET IF YOU GUYS CAN GATHER, NOT YOU GUYS, IF HABITAT IS ABLE TO GATHER THE RESOURCES, I BET WE COULD FIND SOME VOLUNTEERS TO BECOME TO GET YOU PAST THE FOUR. LET'S LET'S SET A RECORD AND DO AT LEAST FIVE. AND
[6.E.4) Amendment to Title 11, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Section 11-2-6, Standards for allowed Land Uses; (L) Day Care, Center and Day Care, Group and ® Home Occupation; 11-7-1, Definitions of Title 11.]
SO WITH THAT, THE LAST SEVERAL ITEMS FROM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ARE ALL ASSOCIATED WITH MAKING CHANGES TO OUR CODE. AND SO A BUNCH OF SO SORRY, FIVE DIFFERENT ORDINANCE CHANGES ARE UPON US. AND SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO ASK THE DIRECTOR TO DO IS PRESENT ALL FIVE. AND THEN COUNCIL WILL JUST ALL FIVE AT ONCE RATHER THAN UP AND DOWN UP AND DOWN. AND THEN COUNCIL WILL JUST TAKE THEM IN ORDER. AND SO COUNCIL MEMBERS, IF YOU HAVE NO OBJECTION, THAT'S THE HANDLE IT.AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE DIRECTOR YOU CAN ASK THOSE ANYWHERE ALONG THE WAY. SO WITH THAT, I'LL INVITE THE DIRECTOR TO COME FORWARD AND PRESENT ON THE CHANGES TO THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. YEAH. USUALLY WE BRING THESE CODE REVISIONS TO YOU AT THE END OF THE YEAR. A COUPLE OF THESE HAVE BEEN BECAUSE OF STATE STATUTE, AND THEN ALSO SOME OF THESE WE JUST FELT LIKE WE COULD BRING NOW AS OPPOSED TO WAIT TILL LATER. I'LL GO THROUGH EACH OF THESE. THERE'S A TOTAL OF FIVE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THIS IS IN REGARDS TO SECTION 11, OUR COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ZONING ORDINANCE. SO THERE'S FIVE TOTAL. TWO OF THEM HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH BASICALLY A CHANGE IN STATE STATUTE. THE LAST THREE ARE DEALING PRIMARILY WITH DEVELOPMENT. SO I'LL JUST GO RIGHT THROUGH THEM. THE FIRST ONE IS DEALING WITH A CODE CHANGE TO REFLECT STATE STATUTE. AS YOU KNOW, RECENTLY OUR STATE LEGISLATURE HAS CHANGED HOW WE THE LOCAL CONTROL ON LICENSING IN REGARDS TO DAYCARE USES. SO THIS CODE CHANGE PROPOSAL IS BASICALLY REMOVING WHAT THE STATE NOW DOES IN REGARDS TO COMMERCIAL DAYCARES. ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH THAT, THERE'S A SECTION OF SECTION 11 THAT DEALS WITH HOME OCCUPATIONS. AND THE STRIKE HERE IS DEALING WITH CHANGES TO OUR STATE STATUTE AS WELL. AND THEN THE LAST PART IS
[01:35:08]
WITH ANY CODE SECTION WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE DEFINITIONS. AND THESE DEFINITIONS REFLECT THE CHANGE IN STATE STATUTE. SO THAT'S WHY THESE NUMBERS HAVE BEEN CHANGED. OR THE RANGE IN WHICH, FOR EXAMPLE THE SECOND ONE THAT MORE THAN SIX BUT NO GREATER THAN OURS USED TO SAY 13 STATE STATUTES AS WELL. SO WE HAVE TO ADJUST THOSE. THESE ARE SHOWING THE ALLOWABLE USES DAYCARE USES. AND THE COMMERCIAL SIDE ARE RIGHT HERE IN OUR USE TABLE. AND THEY ARE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. AND SO IF THERE ARE CONDITIONS ON A COMMERCIAL SIDE THAT WE WOULD LIKE, WE CAN IMPOSE AT THE TIME. THOSE. YEAH. IN RESIDENTIAL. YEAH. SO RIGHT HERE UNDER PART ONE THERE'S A QUESTION. SO THAT'S DAYCARE USES ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT. COUNCIL. SO THIS REFLECTS THE DISCUSSION WE HAD ON MONDAY ABOUT RESIDENTIAL ESTATE. AND SO THAT'S A THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION. IF YOU WOULD LIKE THAT CHANGE WE CAN MAKE THAT CHANGE TO INCLUDE IT IN THE RI. AND IF COUNCIL AT THE TIME OF MOTION WOULD LIKE WE WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THEN OUR. FINDING OF FACT AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS. OR WOULD WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE REASON STATE WOULD DO IT SO WE COULD REFLECT THAT, AND WE COULD CHANGE IT AND PUT THEM INTO USE? TABLE IF THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE THAT, I'M MISSING SOMETHING. I THOUGHT ON MONDAY WHEN WE LOOKED AT THIS CHART UNDER DAYCARE GROUP, THERE WAS BLANK. BLANK. NOT PERMITTED R, P OR P. YES, WE JUST DIDN'T. SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS LINE RIGHT HERE WHERE THERE ARE YOU ARE CORRECT COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS THAT THESE TWO WE JUST KEPT IT THE SAME IN CASE THERE WAS A CHANGE AND THAT CHANGE WOULD BE DONE AT THE TIME OF EMOTION AND WE COULD ADJUST IT. SO IF COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE, YOU CAN DO THAT WITH YOUR MOTION THAT YOU CAN PASS THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED WITH THE AMENDMENT TO ADD PERMITTING A DAYCARE CENTER IN THE RESIDENTIAL ESTATE OR THE RESIDENTIAL PARK ZONE, YOU'LL NEED TO CLARIFY WHETHER THAT'S GOING TO BE PERMITTED BY RIGHT, WHICH IS WHAT THE LETTER P SIGNIFIES, OR WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE PERMITTED AS A CONDITION TO USE, WHICH IS WHAT THE LETTER C MEANS, AND THOSE C1 AND C2 AND C3 ARE ARE DIFFERENT PATHWAYS TO GETTING THAT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT. SO I THINK WE NEED A COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON THAT I DON'T KNOW. IS THAT APPROPRIATE RIGHT NOW OR IS THAT APPROPRIATE. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO THAT I THINK IT MIGHT BE SMART TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE THEN BEFORE WE GET TO THE ACTION MAKING MODE, WE CAN HAVE MAYBE SOME CITY ATTORNEY BRAINPOWER BEING PLACED ON THE REASON STATEMENT MODIFICATIONS THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED. BUT LET'S SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL THEN TO ALLOW DAYCARE CENTERS IN THOSE TWO OTHER RESIDENTIAL ZONES. YEAH, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE GENERAL CONCEPT DISCUSSION WAS, YES, GO AHEAD AND DO THAT, AT LEAST AS THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, AS AN I DON'T KNOW, IS THERE ANYBODY ON BOARD WITH THAT OR MOST OR. YEAH, I'D BE OKAY WITH IT IF IT WAS A C1. YEAH. IF IT WAS A CONDITIONAL USE, WHY IS IT THAT WE, WE DO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN R ONE AND R TWO ONE MAKING IT TO, YOU KNOW, A RIGHT. AND THE OTHER CONDITION. YEAH. AND IT MOSTLY DEALS WITH, WITH DENSITY USUALLY THE R1 IN THE AMERICAN WAY OF THINKING ON OUR ZONING IS VERY PROTECTIVE. R1 AND ANYTHING BIGGER. IT JUST IT'S BEEN THE TRADITION OF THE US FOR YEARS AND YEARS. R2 ALWAYS HAS THOUGHT BEING MORE DENSE, MORE DENSE ALLOW MORE IN IT. R2 AND UP, I SHOULD SAY. OKAY. I MEAN IT ALMOST LOGIC WOULD WOULD SUGGEST THE OPPOSITE. YOU HAVE MORE SPACE, THEREFORE YOU CAN DO MORE THINGS. BUT ANYWAY, COUNCILOR LARSON, WOULD A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT DEAL WITH THE NUMBER OF KIDS BEING CARED FOR? OR IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE ZONING THAT THAT DEALS WITH HOW MANY CHILDREN COULD BE CARED FOR AND. IN ONE OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. SO THIS WOULD BE REMEMBER THAT ZONING POWER IS DELEGATED FROM THE STATE. SO IT WOULD BE WHATEVER THE STATE STATUTE SAYS ON THE NUMBER. THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WOULD REALLY DEAL WITH THE IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. SO IT SO THE NUMBER IS IN STATE STATUTE.[01:40:08]
YES. SO THE SMALLEST DAYCARE USE IS WHAT WE CALL A HOME DAYCARE. AND THOSE ARE TYPICALLY HOME OCCUPATIONS. AND THEY OCCUR INSIDE RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE. THEY THE STATE STATUTE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HAVE UP TO SIX CHILDREN IN ONE OF THOSE DAYCARE GROUP IS KIND OF THE IN BETWEEN.YOU SEE THESE OUTSIDE OF FAMILY HOMES TYPICALLY IN COMMERCIAL THING. BUT YOU COULD THEORETICALLY PUT ONE IN A RESIDENTIAL HOME, WHICH IS WHY THEY'RE A CONDITION TO USE, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BRING PEOPLE IN NOISE AND KIND OF DISRUPTIVE EFFECTS INSIDE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT'S THAT'S WHY IT'S CONDITIONED AT DAYCARE CENTERS. THE BIGGEST DAYCARE OPERATION IS AT 13 OR MORE CHILDREN, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT A CONDITIONED USE FOR THE RESIDENTIAL PARK OR THE RESIDENTIAL ESTATE ZONE, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE MOST RESTRICTED ZONES, RESIDENTIAL ZONES THAT THE CITY HAS. TYPICALLY, YOU DO NOT SEE CENTERS INSIDE OF A RESIDENTIAL HOME BECAUSE THEY ARE ARE JUST SO INTENSE THAT THEY ARE TYPICALLY IN MORE COMMERCIAL AREAS. SO IF WE HAD A CONDITIONAL CONDITIONAL USE PUT ON IN ONE OF THESE IN THE PARK ZONE, OR ONE OF THOSE ESTATE, THEN THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE WOULD GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY. YES. SO IF YOU IF YOU MAKE IT A BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW OR CITY COUNCIL REVIEW, THEN A PUBLIC HEARING WOULD NEED TO BE PUBLISHED. THEY'D GO POST THE PROPERTY, THEY'D SEND A LETTER OUT TO EVERYONE THAT'S AROUND THE PROPERTY INFORMING THEM THAT THIS WAS A BEING CONSIDERED BY THE CITY TO BE PERMITTED. AT THE HEARING, THE NEIGHBORS COULD COME TOGETHER AND EXPRESS THEIR CONCERNS. THE DECIDING BODY, WHICH WOULD EITHER BE THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT OR THE CITY COUNCIL COULD LISTEN TO THAT AND THEN IMPOSE CONDITIONS THAT WOULD. REDUCE THE IMPACTS FROM IT. SO SOME TYPICAL CONDITIONS THAT YOU MIGHT SEE ON A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT WOULD BE TO LIMIT THE HOURS THAT THE BUSINESS CAN BE IN OPERATION. YOU SEE A REQUIREMENT FOR PARKING. YOU SEE MAYBE LIMITS ON THE SIGNAGE AND LIMITS ON DIFFERENT THINGS. AND YOU HAVE IN A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, PRETTY WIDE AUTHORITY GRANTED BY THE LOCAL LAND USE PLANNING ACT TO IMPOSE A VARIETY OF CONDITIONS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO UPHOLD THE INTEGRITY OF THE USE OF THE ZONE. SO, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD BE QUITE RESTRICTIVE. THE KEY HERE IS, IS TO I USED TO MANAGE THESE IN UTAH. AND THE KEY IS TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT, PRIMARILY DEALING WITH TRAFFIC AND CHANGING THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO THE CONDITIONS GET IMPOSED ON THAT ELEMENT. I MEAN, I THINK, DIRECTOR SANDER, THAT ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT BE A RARE USE, HONESTLY, I MEAN, I THINK THAT PRACTICALITY IS PROBABLY PRETTY RARE. YOU KNOW, YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HISTORICALLY WHY THE PROCESS HAS BEEN AS SUCH, BUT WE'RE ALSO IN A HISTORICAL DAYCARE SHORTAGE, AND YOU HAVE THIS COMBINATION OF, YOU KNOW, THE WORKFORCE WITHOUT DAYCARE OPTIONS. SO ALTHOUGH COUNCIL FRANCIS, THERE MIGHT BE THIS MAY NOT BE USED VERY OFTEN. I THINK I'M SUPPORTIVE AND AT LEAST ALLOWING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT OPTION SO THAT WE CAN MITIGATE THE IMPACTS OR THE OPPORTUNITY TO, BUT THAT WE'RE STILL ALLOWING FREE ENTERPRISE AND PEOPLE EXECUTING THE INTEREST IN DAYCARE AND THE STATE STATUTE CHANGED. THAT WAS THE REASONING THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE GAVE JUST AS A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND A PROLIFERATING OR NOT PROLIFERATING BUT EXPANDING THE ABILITY FOR DAYCARES TO OPERATE. SO IF THERE IS A BIT OF CONSENSUS ABOUT PERHAPS ALLOWING IT CONDITIONALLY. CASTLE, ARE YOU LOOKING AT A C1, C2 OR C3? IT FEELS LIKE WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT OR DESCRIBED C2, BUT I GUESS WE NEED TO GET CLARITY ON THAT AS WELL. I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER, I THINK C2 GOES TO BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. IT DOES, IT DOES. IN FACT, IT SAYS IT RIGHT UP THERE, TOP OF YOUR. OH YEAH. THANK YOU. READ MY OWN SLIDE. YES I SEE YOU DO. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. WELL I'M SENSING THAT MAYBE WE'RE READY FOR THEM A MOTION THAT WOULD MAKE THE CHANGE OR. NO WE DON'T KNOW. SORRY. WE WERE GOING TO DO ALL
[01:45:06]
THE MOTIONS LATER. AND IN THIS CASE, A MOTION THAT IS DEVIATES FROM WHAT IS IN THE AGENDA MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO GO AHEAD AND DO IT NOW SO THAT WE CAN GET STARTED ON THAT REASON STATEMENT CHANGE, OR IS IT GOING TO BE REALLY SIMPLE EDIT OR I THINK IT'S A PRETTY SIMPLE EDIT. SO WE'LL WE'LL WORK ON THAT. AND YOU COULD ACTUALLY TAKE THIS VOTE. NOW WE GET THE RECENT STATEMENT PREPARED FOR YOU WHILE YOU DISCUSS THE OTHER ITEMS. THAT'S PERFECT. DO IT AT THE AT THE POINT THAT YOU DO YOUR OWN EMOTIONS. ALL RIGHT. SO THE COUNCIL DOESN'T MIND. WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. AND IF THERE IS PASSAGE, WE WILL DO THE STATEMENT A LITTLE LATER. WAS THERE A REASON STATEMENT OKAY. ON NUMBER FOUR I DIDN'T SHOW ONE. YEAH. OH THE MAYBE I'M WRONG, I THOUGHT I THOUGHT WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. I THINK IT'S IN IT'S IN THE PACKET ISN'T IT. OKAY. SO WE SHOULD DO ONE I THINK MAYBE MAYBE WE DON'T NEED ONE. YEAH I THINK YEAH. THIS IS I THINK I THINK YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND JUST AMEND THE ORDINANCE THERE. AND WE JUST ASSUME WITH THESE THAT WE WILL.YEAH. OKAY. AND SO DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING WRITTEN. AND I CAN RUN BY AND SEE IF HE'S OVER IF THAT MAKES SENSE. LET'S GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ONE NOW. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT. ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT I'M PROPOSING IS A IS TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AMENDING DAYCARE BUSINESSES WITH DAYCARE ALLOWABLE IN RI AS A C2 UNDER A SUSPENSION OF THE RULES, OR IS THAT ALL RIGHT? OR WHAT DO I NEED TO ADD? WELL, LET'S BE CLEAR WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
BECAUSE IF YOU JUST DO RE, THEN YOU WON'T BE ALLOWING IT IN THE RESIDENTIAL PARK ZONE TWO. SO YOU'VE GOT TWO ZONES THAT COUNCILS DISCUSSED. AND WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT YOU. YOU, YOU MAKE A MOTION THAT APPROVES THE ORDINANCE AS PRESENTED WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT TABLE 11 TWO ONE SHALL INDICATE THAT DAYCARE CENTER WOULD BE PERMITTED TO HAVE A CONDITIONAL TWO USE IN THE RESIDENTIAL ESTATE AND RESIDENTIAL PARK ZONE. YEAH. IN THEORY. LET ME TRY AGAIN. THIS IS THE PROPOSED DO LATER, BUT APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AMENDING THE DAYCARE BUSINESS ALLOWED UNDER A SUSPENSION OF THE RULES WITH SORRY WITH DAYCARE ALLOWED IN. APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AMENDING THE DAYCARE BUSINESSES UNDER SUSPENSION OF THE RULES. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PUT. LET ME THINK. I APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AMENDING. TABLE THAT DOESN'T APPROVE THE ORDINANCE AMENDING THE DAYCARE BUSINESS. MODELS. SO IT'S THE STATEMENT. YEAH, I WOULD I WOULD TELL YOU THAT THESE ARE THE. THE DAYCARE USES THAT ARE PERMITTED IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES. SO THE ORDINANCE IS AMENDING THE ZONIN, DAYCARE RESTRICTIONS ON DAYCARE BUSINESSES IN THE CITY AND IN PARTICULAR, TABLE 11 TWO ONE DETAILS THE USES THAT ARE PERMITTED FOR DAYCARES WITHIN RESIDENTIAL ZONES. SO ORDINANCE IS A LITTLE BROADER. IT ADDRESSES EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THE CITY. SO I COULD SAY APPROVING THE ORDINANCE, AMENDING DAYCARE BUSINESSES, TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS USES IN THE CITY, AS DESCRIBED IN TABLE 11, DASH TWO, DASH ONE AND SHALL INDICATE DAYCARE CENTER CONDITIONAL USE CONDITION CONDITIONAL TO USE IN OUR OUR E AND OUR P. THAT WORKS WELL. OKAY, I WILL DO THAT WHEN WE'RE READY. ALL RIGHT. TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU AGREE WITH WHAT HE SAID, DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. SECOND. OKAY. WE HAVE A SECOND. CITY CLERK. WILL YOU CONDUCT THIS? VOTE? DINGMAN. YES. FRANCIS A FREEMAN. YES.
LARSEN. YES. RADFORD. HI. CAN I ASK FOR CLARIFICATION ON WHO WAS THE SECOND ON THAT ONE? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I BELIEVE THE TITLE IS APPROPRIATE, BUT WE DO NEED TO READ MY TITLE. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? OKAY, LET'S SEE IF THE TITLE WORKS. I THINK IT BEST DOES. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, AMENDING TITLE 11, COMPREHENSIVE ZONING CODE, SECTION 11 TWO SIX STANDARDS FOR ALLOWED LAND USES L DAYCARE
[01:50:06]
CENTER AND DAYCARE GROUP AND R HOME OCCUPATIONS 11 SEVEN ONE. DEFINITIONS, PUBLICATION BY SUMMARY AND ESTABLISHING EFFECTIVE DATE OKAY. VERY GOOD. NOW WE'RE DONE AND WE HAVE A QUESTION. AND THEN WE'LL GO BACK TO A POINT OF PRIVILEGE OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED. BUT I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE REMOVED THE STATE STATUTE, REDUCED THE STANDARDS FOR LICENSING IN THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS FOR DAYCARE LICENSING, AND WE VOTED WHAT WE JUST DID, NOT COUNTING THE CONDITIONAL USE BECAUSE WE HAD NO CHOICE TO BRING OURSELVES IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE STATUTE. BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING I AGREE WITH. THAT'S A FAIR POINT TO MAKE. AND YOU MADE[Items 6.E.5) - 6.E.8)]
IT IN THE RECORD. ALL RIGHT. SO WE ARE NOW GOING TO TURN BACK TO DIRECTOR SANDLER FOR THE PRESENTATION OF THE OTHER FOUR. AND WE CAN WE CAN DEVIATE AGAIN IF WE WANT TO. BUT LET'S SEE HOW FAR WE GET. THERE'S A PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION BOOK CALLED THE SCIENCE OF MUDDLING THROUGH IN GOVERNMENT. SO WE JUST MUDDLE THROUGH. SO THAT'S TOTALLY FINE. I'M HAPPY TO HOP UP AND DOWN AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE AT YOUR DISCRETION. SO THE NEXT PROPOSED ZONING CODE CHANGE IS TO ADDRESS CHANGES IN THE FIRE CODE. AND THIS ONE IS VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD. WE'RE PRIMARILY LOOKING JUST FOR THE PUBLIC'S REFERENCE. THIS BLUE ADDITION DOWN HERE WHENEVER A AND THIS IS DEALING WITH DRIVE AISLE WIDTHS. SO USUALLY THIS REGARD IS IN REGARDING LIKE A PARKING LOT. IF YOU THINK OF IT THAT WAY, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHEN THEY LOOK AT A SITE PLAN, THEY WILL DESIGNATE THAT DRIVE AISLE WIDTH AND OR THAT IT BEING A FIRE ACCESS DRIVE AISLE. SO AND THAT STANDARD THAT THEY HOLD TO IS 26FT FOR THAT WIDTH. YOU'LL NOTICE ON THE TABLE WITH IF IT'S NOT DESIGNATED AS A FIRE ACCESS ROUTE OR FIRE ROUTE, MUDDLING MY WORDS THERE THAT IT WOULD THESE WOULD APPLY. BUT IN GENERAL IF THE FIRE DESIGNATES FIRE DEPARTMENT DESIGNATES IT AS A FIRE ACCESS, THEN IT WOULD BE THE 26 STANDARD. SO THE REASON I SAY ALL THAT, JUST BECAUSE THE USE CHART LOOKS KIND OF DIFFERENT. WE DID OUR CATCHALL DOWN HERE BASICALLY TO SAY THAT IF THE FIRE MARSHAL THAT IT HAS TO MEET THE WIDTHS OF THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE, AND WE WROTE THAT IN A MORE VAGUE CONTEXT, STRICTLY FOR THE FACT, BECAUSE THE FIRE CODE CAN CHANGE. AND SO IF THE STATE ADOPTS A DIFFERENT WIDTH STANDARD IN THE FIRE CODE, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND REVISE OUR ZONING CODE. SO THAT'S THE WHOLE THINKING ON THAT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? I JUST HAVE A COMMENT I THINK. SURE. BUT IT MIGHT BE A QUESTION. SO IF IT'S GOING TO BE A FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS ROAD, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE FIRE HYDRANTS ON IT. RIGHT? SO THAT MIGHT BE A WAY TO DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THESE THINGS IS THAT IF THEY SAY YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FIRE HYDRANT THERE, THEN THEY ARE GOING TO PLAN ON BRINGING A FIRE TRUCK DOWN THAT ROAD. THEN THEY'RE GOING TO WANT THE EXTRA WIDTH. RIGHT. OKAY. YEAH. YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. AND SO WE JUST LEAVE IT TO THE TO THE FIRE CODE AND THE FIRE MARSHAL IN THAT REGARD FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. YEAH. YEAH. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE SIMPLE CODE CHANGE ON THAT ONE.THE NEXT THREE ARE DEALING WITH OUR ZONING ZONING CODE ORDINANCE STANDARDS. THE FIRST ONE IS DEALING WITH CORNER LOTS, CORNER LOTS IN SECTION 115. WE'RE WE'RE PROPOSING A SCRATCH ON ALL THIS EXTRA WITH THE ZONING CODE. SO HOW WE WOULD INTERPRET A CORNER LOT IT NEEDS TO BE EXPLAINED A LITTLE BIT. SO THIS PROPERTY RIGHT HERE WHEN WE DO A SUBDIVISION PLAT WOULD BE DESIGNATED AS A CORNER LOT. CORNER LOT HAS TWO FRONTAGES. TYPICALLY YOU MEET MORE LAND ON A CORNER LOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE UTILITIES AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING IN THERE. HOW WE USED TO FIGURE OUT THE WIDTH THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED IN A SUBDIVISION IS WE WOULD TAKE THE AVERAGE OF NON WEDGE SHAPED LOTS ALONG THE STREET THAT WAS BEING PROPOSED FOR SUBDIVISION. SO IN THIS CASE FOR THIS CORNER LOT, WE WOULD TAKE THE AVERAGES OF THESE LOTS COMING DOWN IN THIS, THIS CURVILINEAR STREET. HERE YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS A WEDGE SHAPED LOT IN THIS EXAMPLE. WHAT DO WE LEAVE IN AND WHAT DO WE KEEP OUT. IT ALSO GIVES DISCRETION TO THE DIRECTOR. AND THEY WOULD USE THE LANGUAGE USED TO SAY THAT YOU COULD USE ADJACENT PLATS. SO WE COULD
[01:55:03]
AVERAGE OUT PLATS FROM THE ADJACENT. SO THIS ONE YOU WOULD LOOK AT THE PLAT TO THE NORTH AND AVERAGE THAT OUT. AND THAT WOULD GIVE YOU THE OVERALL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF A CORNER LOT.YOU CAN SEE IT'S QUITE CONVOLUTED. SO WHEN WE SAT DOWN AND LOOKED AT THIS, WE DID HAVE A DEVELOPER COME AND ASK US ABOUT THAT. SO STAFF AND I JUST SAT DOWN AND SAID, WHY DON'T WE JUST MAKE IT 10% WHATEVER THE ZONING DISTRICT IS AND MAKE IT VERY EASY TO INTERPRET IT? AND SO IT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER FOR THEM TO INTERPRET. SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF THIS WERE AN R1 SUBDIVISION, THE R1 MINIMUM LOT STANDARD IS 7000, 10% OF THAT IS 700. SO THE CORNER LOT WOULD HAVE TO BE 7700FT■S. SO IT JUST MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE DEVELOPER WHEN THEY LAY OUT THEIR TRACKS THAT THEY JUST IT'S MUCH EASIER FOR THEM TO INTERPRET. THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK AND FORTH WITH US. SO THAT WAS THE THINKING ON THAT ONE. I HAVE A COMMENT. YES, I LIVE ON A CORNER LOT AND, AND I'M ON THE CORNER OF A CUL DE SAC. I HAVE 270FT OF SIDEWALK ON MY CORNER, MY LOT, BECAUSE YOU MADE ME HAVE A BIGGER LOT AND MY NEIGHBORS HAVE LIKE 60FT OF SIDEWALK. SO IN THE WINTERTIME IT BECOMES QUITE, QUITE A CHORE FOR ME TO SHOVEL MY WALK VERSUS HIM. WHEN WE GO AND LOOK AT HOUSES. MY WIFE, BEING FROM EDMONTON, DOES NOT BUY A CORNER LOT BECAUSE OF THAT. SHE'S LIKE, I SHOVELED MY ENTIRE LIFE. SO YEAH. SO YEAH. SO THIS, THIS SECTION OF CODE WAS JUST JUST TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY. THE NEXT ONE IS AGAIN, THIS IS DEALING WITH THE R2 ZONE LIMIT. THERE WAS A MAXIMUM LIMIT ON DWELLING UNITS THAT THERE WOULD BE FOUR DWELLING UNITS. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT PRIMARILY DEALING WITH DUPLEXES. SO IF YOU THINK THAT THE MAX THAT ANY PROPERTY COULD HAVE WOULD BE FOUR DUPLEXES ON THEIR PROPERTY. THIS AND DISCUSSION AGAIN THIS WAS ANOTHER DISCUSSION. I'VE BEEN OUT TALKING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY AND ALSO A DISCUSSION WITH FIRE IS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS AND SOME HAD QUESTIONED THAT THIS STANDARD STRICTLY FOR THE FACT THAT THE FIRE CODE ACTUALLY AT CERTAIN TIMES BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE PROPERTY, CAN ACTUALLY ALLOW MORE, MORE UNITS ON THE PROPERTY. TYPICALLY WHAT WE SEE IS ONLY ABOUT A 1 OR 2 UNITS SPREAD. SO IF IT CAPPED AT FOUR, THEY USUALLY IT WAS ONLY GETTING ABOUT SIX UNITS. SO WE LOOKED AT THIS AND WE THOUGHT THIS COULD BE A GOOD CHANGE THAT WE WOULD THEN LOOK AT. REALLY IT WOULD BE DEPENDENT ON THE FIRE CODE AND THE FIRE CODE. WHAT THAT SAYS IS CAN YOU GET A HOSE AROUND THE BUILDING OR THE COMPLEX OF A JOINED UNITS BASICALLY. SO WE DEFER TO THAT TO THE FIRE CODE IN THIS INSTANCE, IT JUST PROVIDES MORE FLEXIBILITY. IN THE R2. WE DON'T SEE THIS REQUESTED A LOT. I SHOWED I HAD MY STAFF SHOW THIS MAP BECAUSE THE ORANGE IS THE R2 ZONE, SO IT DOESN'T IMPACT. IT DOES IMPACT OUR OUR CITY, BUT IT DOESN'T IMPACT IT IN A GREAT DEGREE. AND REALIZE WITH THE FIRE STANDARD, THERE MAY BE TIMES THAT THEY POTENTIALLY COULD GET FOUR. BUT REALLY BECAUSE OF THE FIRE STANDARD, THEY MAYBE GET THREE. SO IT'S JUST DEFERRING TO THE FIRE CODE AND ALLOWING THAT FLEXIBILITY. IF THERE IS A PROPENSITY TO BE ABLE TO ADD A UNIT OR TWO THAT A DEVELOPER HAS THAT FLEXIBILITY. SO THAT WAS THE THINKING ON THAT ONE. AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS, IS DEALING WITH DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS. I JUST SHOWED THIS USE CHART BECAUSE I'M JUST SHOWING RIGHT HERE THE 15FT IN THE TEN ZONE. THIS IS A STANDARD THAT WE'VE BEEN APPLYING ALREADY IN THE TEN ZONE. AND THE PROPOSAL THIS EVENING IS FOR IS FOR THIS TO THEN MOVE INTO THE R1 AND R2 ZONES. AND THE REQUEST HERE FROM STAFF IS TO AMEND OUR ZONING CODE FOR THE BLUE DOWN HERE, NUMBER SEVEN AND EIGHT. AND WHAT IT ALLOWS IS, IS IN AN R1. WE'LL USE THAT AS AN EXAMPLE. THE R1 THE FRONT SETBACK. IF YOU LOOK IN THE USE CHART RIGHT HERE, THE FRONT SETBACK IS 25FT. SO THAT'S QUITE A LARGE FRONT SETBACK ON ALL PROPERTIES. BUT DEVELOPERS WERE COMING TO US AND SAYING, WHAT IF WE BACK LOADED THE PROPERTY INSTEAD OF HAVING THE ACCESS TO THE GARAGE FROM THE FRONT? WHAT IF WE PUT IT FROM THE BACK, FROM AN ALLEYWAY, AND THEY STILL WOULD HAVE TO MEET THAT 25 FOOT STANDARD IN THE R1? SO THIS WAS. SO WE SAT DOWN AS STAFF AND LOOKED AT THIS AND
[02:00:01]
LOOKED AT OUR CODE. AND WHAT THIS DOES AGAIN IS PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY FOR THE DEVELOPER WHO THEN CAN PUSH THE HOUSE, THE UNIT UP TO THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY WITH A 15 FOOT SETBACK.AND THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS WITH THE CAVEAT THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS FROM THE REAR. TYPICAL ALLEYWAYS, JUST SO YOU KNOW, THEIR WIDTH ARE 20FT. SO YOU WOULD STILL HAVE BASICALLY A REAR SETBACK OF 20FT, BUT YOU WOULD THEN HAVE ACCESS FROM THE BACK. THIS IN PLANNING AND PRACTICE IS ACTUALLY A GOOD URBAN FORM. WE WANT TO TYPICALLY PUSH THE HOUSES TOWARDS THE SIDEWALK THAT PRODUCES MORE WALKABILITY AND A MORE ESTHETICALLY APPEALING URBAN DESIGN. SO THIS IS SOMETHING WHEN WE LOOKED AT, WE FELT LIKE THIS CODE CHANGE COULD OCCUR, COULD BE SOMETHING WE PROPOSE WITH THE THINKING THAT UTILITIES WOULD PRIMARILY BE IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY IN THE ALLEYWAY. WE DID TALK THIS THROUGH WITH PUBLIC WORKS. WE DID INTERNALLY COLLABORATE ON THIS. POWER DID COME BACK. THEY SAID 15 WAS THE MINIMUM THAT THEY NEED, PRIMARILY BECAUSE WHEN THEY DIG UP A POWER LINE, THEY DON'T WANT TO BE HITTING HOUSES. AND THESE WE WERE ONE OF THE DEVELOPERS. I DIDN'T HAVE THIS IN WORK SESSION. ONE OF THE DEVELOPERS ACTUALLY REACHED OUT TO ME BECAUSE HE HAS KNEW THIS WAS COMING, AND HE ACTUALLY WANTED TO PROVIDE SOME INPUT ON THIS. IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'LL READ AN EMAIL FROM THEM. THIS IS FROM ROCKWELL HOMES, FROM NATE CLARK. HE SAYS. I'M WRITING TO EXPRESS ROCKWELL HOMES SUPPORT FOR CHANGING THE SETBACK DISTANCE FOR RESIDENTIAL ZONING, WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED AT TONIGHT'S MEETING. IN OUR RECENT RIVER HOLLOW SAGE LAKES PROJECT, WE'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND HOW A SMALLER SETBACK ALLOWS US TO CREATE MORE AFFORDABLE LOTS AND PROVIDES GREATER ACCESS FOR OUR TWO STORY TOWNHOMES. OUR MAIN GOAL AT ROCKWELL HOMES IS TO KEEP PRICES LOW, SO THAT WE CAN OFFER ENTRY LEVEL HOMES AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. ADJUSTING THESE SETBACKS HELPS US ACHIEVE THIS AND ALLOWS FOR ADDITIONAL LAWS. SO HE JUST SAW THAT IT WAS ON AND HE SAID, CAN I COMMENT ON THIS? BECAUSE HE WANTED TO BE HERE TONIGHT. BUT SO I SAID, THAT'S FINE. GOOD. SO ANYWAYS, JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE SOME PUBLIC COMMENT ON IT, BUT THEY I ACTUALLY SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR PUBLIC COMMENT TO READ THAT. SORRY. WE ALSO WITH THIS WE ARE LOOKING AT THE DEFINITIONS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE. WE NOW DEFINE THOSE. THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT MAINTENANCE ON THESE ON THESE ALLEYWAYS IN THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY. REALIZE WITH EVERY SUBDIVISION WE DO DO A DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT. AND PART OF THAT DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT DISCUSSES OWNERSHIP, AND IT ALSO DISCUSSES MAINTENANCE ON THESE. SO IF IT'S, FOR EXAMPLE, A PUBLICLY PLATTED RIGHT OF WAY OR ALLEYWAY, THEN IT'S THE PUBLIC, THEN PUBLIC WORKS TAKES CARE OF IT, BUT IT'S A PRIVATE ONE. THEN HOWEVER, THEY DESIGNATE THAT AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IN THE COMMENTS ON MAINTENANCE. IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY ALWAYS HAVE TO BE AN HOA, BUT PART OF THAT DEVELOPER'S AGREEMENT DOES PUT THAT CAVEAT. IF IT'S PRIVATELY OWNED, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF LINCHPIN THAT CREATES IT TO WHERE THIS IS MAINTAINED IN THE FUTURE. I IF YOU WANT, I CAN GO THROUGH SOME DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS. THESE ARE JUST CODE SECTIONS, BUT I JUST WANTED TO SHOW I'LL BE VERY BRIEF ON THIS. I KNOW WE'RE WE'RE GETTING LATE, BUT THIS DEVELOPMENT PATTERN IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ODD FOR OUR CITY, AND IT'S NOT ODD OUTSIDE OF THE ZONE. SO THIS IS A PROVIDENCE POINT. THIS WAS AN R-1 SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING PRODUCT. AND YOU CAN SEE THEY THEY PUT THE THEY HAD THE NORMAL SETBACKS IN THE FRONT AND THEY HAD THE ALLEYWAY IN THE BACK. AND THEN THIS IS JUST PROVIDENCE POINT LOOKING AT THE ALLEYWAY CONSTRUCTION DOWN THE BACK WITH ACCESS TO THE REAR LOADED PRODUCT. THEN THIS WAS UP IN CARRIAGE GATE. IF YOU'VE BEEN UP IN KIRKGATE BY CLOSE TO SUNNYSIDE AND WEST, BUT THIS ONE THEY DID REQUEST AND THEY WERE ALLOWED TO DO SO TO REQUEST A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO REDUCE THAT FRONT SETBACK TO 20FT. AND SO THEY DID SO. AND THEY DID GET THAT CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, BUT THEY HAD TO REQUEST IT. AND THEN THIS IS SHOWING THE BACK LOADED PRODUCT. THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW PRIMARILY BECAUSE THIS IS HIGHLAND PARK. THIS WAS A TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THIS WAS BUILT ACCORDING TO THE STANDARDS THAT ARE PROPOSED. WE COULD SEE THE CLOSER SETBACK ON THE FRONT END WITH THE REAR LOADED PRODUCT ON THE BACK. SO THOSE ARE THE THOSE ARE THE CODE SECTIONS THAT WE HAVE PROPOSED. THE LAST THREE IN PARTICULAR. JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE WE
[02:05:01]
ARE TRYING TO GET TO THE PRIORITY OF HOUSING OPTIONS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE CITY.IT ALSO CHANGING CODE LIKE THIS TO ALLOW THIS TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL PRODUCT BEING CONSTRUCTED IS ALSO PART OF IMAGINE IF WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO MISSING MIDDLE, WE'RE TRYING TO CONCENTRATE DENSITY INTO OUR INTO OUR URBAN CORE, MORE IN THE CITY BOUNDARIES. WE OFTEN GET COMMENTED ABOUT THIS AS A VERY AGED STATE. THESE TYPE OF CODE CHANGES ARE THERE BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS PROTECT THOSE BARLEY AND POTATO FIELDS AROUND US, SO THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE DENSITY WHERE IT SHOULD BE IN THE CITY. SO I JUST STATE THAT, THAT THAT IS AN IMAGINE IF. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THESE, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. OKAY. I GUESS I JUST HAVE A COMMENT THAT FLEW OUT OF MY HEAD. SO DARN IT, IT WAS THERE. 10S. BUT I AM GETTING TIRED. I THINK OF IT LATER. NO, NO, THIS IS WHAT IT WAS. THE LAST THREE CODE CHANGES FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND ARE CAME ABOUT BECAUSE OF DIALOG WITH DEVELOPERS. AND I THINK AS WE DO HAVE THESE PRIORITIES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH TRYING TO CREATE MORE AFFORDABILITY, CREATE MORE DENSITY AND THE LIKE, HAVING THE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE FOLKS WHO ARE BOOTS ON THE GROUND WITH THESE KINDS OF PROJECTS AND GET THEIR INPUT AND TRY TO MASSAGE OUR CODE TO BE ABLE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS, THAT STRIKES ME AS A REALLY HEALTHY WAY FOR THE CITY TO GO ABOUT DOING THIS, SOME OF THIS WORK. AND SO I COMMEND YOU FOR HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND FOR THEM, OPERATIONALIZING THEM IN TERMS OF CONCRETE CHANGES THAT WE NEED TO MAKE. YEAH. JUST TO ADD TO THAT, SORRY. YEAH. IT'S JUST US TRYING TO IMPROVE THAT RELATIONSHIP. BUT ALSO I MEAN, THIS IS LETTING THE MARKET DO ITS THING. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AND HELP THEM FUNCTION. SO YEAH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBERS I THINK WITH THOSE EXPLANATIONS WE'RE READY TO MAYBE ROCK AND ROLL WITH FOUR DIFFERENT ORDINANCES, WITH FOUR DIFFERENT READING BY TITLE AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF. SO HERE WE GO.

DRAW TO A CLOSE. WE JUST HAVE TIME FOR SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS. I WANTED TO NOTIFY ALL OF YOU THAT I DID RECEIVE A TEXT MESSAGE FROM CARRIE SCHEID, AND SHE APPRECIATED THE PRESENTATION AND THANKED US. I ALSO WANTED TO NOTE THAT THE RODEO KICKED OFF TONIGHT, AND WE HAVE TWO MORE NIGHTS OF RODEO. TOMORROW NIGHT IS TOUGH ENOUGH TO WEAR PINK NIGHT IT IS. THE PINK IS IN COMMEMORATION OF OR IN SOLIDARITY WITH BREAST CANCER VICTIMS. AND EVERYBODY'S COMBINED HOPE THAT WE'LL KICK THAT IN THE BACKSIDE SOONER THAN LATER. AND SATURDAY NIGHT IS, I THINK, OUR TRIBUTE TO VETERANS. AND SO ANYWAY, FULL SHOWS BOTH NIGHTS. LET'S SEE WHAT ELSE. I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION A COUPLE OTHER THINGS. NEXT TUESDAY, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL BE HOSTING CONGRESSMAN SIMPSON. THAT WILL BE ON THE FIFTH.
