May 07, 2026 City Council Meeting

AND THE MAYOR AND, UH, COUNCILOR DINGMAN ARE ON CALL TODAY.

SO, UH, WE STOP AT THE PLEDGE AND COUNCILOR LEE IS WHEN I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND IN TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVIDUAL WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

AND THE NEXT STEP WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

[3. Public Comment]

SO PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMMENT TO MAKE FOR ISSUES RELATED TO CITY COUNCIL.

WE DO ASK PEOPLE TO KEEP IT TO APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES.

AND IF YOU'RE HERE FOR ONE OF THE HEARINGS, WAIT TILL THE HEARING INSTEAD OF SPEAKING NOW.

SO, JEFFERSON, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT, SO YEAH, I DIDN'T SEE IT.

ALRIGHT, SO ANYONE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? GO AHEAD.

MY NAME IS MARIA ALVAREZ AND I'M A RESIDENT ON JEFFERSON AVENUE.

UM, I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE MANY HOMEOWNERS ON OUR STREET RECENTLY RECEIVED SIDEWALK REPAIR NOTICES DURING THE SAME TIMEFRAME THAT CITY COUNCIL IS CONDUCTING WATERLINE REPLACEMENT WORK IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

AFTER REVIEWING THE AREA AND COMMUNICATING WITH CITY STAFF, IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THAT PORTIONS OF SIDEWALKS THROUGHOUT THE STREET ARE ALREADY BEING CUT INTO AND IMPACTED AS PART OF THIS INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT.

WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CITY HAS AUTHORITY UNDER CODE TO ADDRESS DANGEROUS SIDEWALK CONDITIONS, I BELIEVE LIKE MYSELF, MANY RESIDENTS ARE STRUGGLING TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN WHAT IS TRULY A CODE COMPLIANCE ISSUE AND WHAT'S, UH, VERSUS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A BROADER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT REPLACEMENT EFFORT THAT'S OCCURRING ALONGSIDE THE WATER LINE PROJECT.

MY CONCERN IS NOT SIMPLY ABOUT COST.

MY CONCERN IS TRANSPARENCY, COORDINATION AND FAIRNESS IN HOW THIS PROCESS IS BEING COMMUNICATED AND ENFORCED.

THE LETTER WAS VERY ASSERTIVE, AGGRESSIVE, EXTREME FINES, PUTTING LIENS ON HER HOME AND THE TIMELINES WE HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH, UM, TO COMPLETE THEM.

THAT THE SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS, UM, WITHOUT CLEAR IDENTIFICATION OF WHAT SPECIFIC CONDITIONS CONSTITUTE CODE VIOLATIONS, WHICH SECTIONS ARE TRULY HOMEOWNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES AND WHICH AREAS ULTIMATELY, UM, THAT ARE IMPACTED THROUGH THE WORK THAT THE CITY IS DOING ARE GOING TO BE RESTORED, RIGHT? LIKE, AND IS IT GOING TO BE, IS THERE GOING TO BE ONGOING, UM, WORK THAT THE CITY WILL BE DOING? SO LIKE FOR MYSELF, UH, THESE ARE UNEXPECTED COSTS AMOUNTING TO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

LIKE THEY EXPECT ME TO DO A WHOLE PIECE OF A WHOLE SIDEWALK AND VERY SHORT NOTICE.

UM, I FEEL THAT WE SHOULDN'T FEEL PRESSURED INTO MAJOR CONSTRUCTION DECISIONS WITHOUT CLEAR AND SPECIFIC JUSTIFICATION.

I AM RESPECTFULLY ASKING THE CITY TO PROVIDE GREATER TRANSPARENCY AND COORDINATION REGARDING HOW SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT DETERMINATIONS ARE BEING MADE BECAUSE IT'S BEING MADE AND ASKED FOR IN OUR WHOLE STREET OF JEFFERSON.

UM, HOW THESE DECISIONS RELATE TO THE CURRENT WATERLINE PROJECT AND WHETHER BROADER REPLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BEING PRESENTED AS CODE ENFORCEMENT, I ENCOURAGE THE CITY TO CONSIDER REASSESSING TIMELINES AND COMMUNICATION WITH AFFECTED HOMEOWNERS SO RESIDENTS CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS WITHOUT FEAR OF DUPLICATE COSTS OR UNNECESSARY WORK.

I, RIGHT NOW, AT THE END OF THE MONTH, I'M SCARED THAT I'M GOING TO BE FINED $75, $150 SECOND DAY AND SO ON AND SO FORTH, COMPOUNDING.

[00:05:01]

AND THEN THE CITY'S SAYING, YES, WE'LL HELP WITH WHAT WE DAMAGE AND WE'RE GONNA GIVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT, UM, BUT AT THE END YOU DON'T COMPLY.

WE'RE GONNA FIX IT ANYWAYS.

CHARGE YOU, PUT A LIEN ON YOUR HOUSE AND I NEED THE LETTER.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN IT SUPER, SUPER AGGRESSIVE.

UM, SO I APPRECIATE THE STAFF WHO HAS RESPONDED AND COMMUNICATED WITH ME, AND I HOPE THIS CONCERN CAN LEAD TO A MORE TRANSPARENT AND COLLABORATIVE PROCESS MOVING FORWARD.

AND WE DON'T, UM, INTERACT, BUT WE, WE WILL TAKE THIS UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR SURE.

AND JIM, DO YOU MENTION YEAH, THERE, UM, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY SPOKEN, YOU SPOKE TO A STAFF MEMBER ALREADY FROM YES.

AND THEY, BUT THEY HAVEN'T CLARIFIED MY QUESTION ON IS THIS, THIS, THIS, WHAT SPECIFIC THINGS ARE BEING VIOLENT? THEY ARE GONNA TRY TO GO NEXT WEEK TO SHOW ME.

A STAFF MEMBER WILL TALK TO YOU TODAY.

PERFECT, THANK YOU.

I'M JEREMY WILKERSON.

I LIVE DOWN ON WEST RALEIGH IN JEFFERSON.

I'VE HAD POST ENFORCEMENT AT MY HOUSE MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS.

NOT ONE WORD ABOUT THE SIDEWALK.

SO AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IF IT WASN'T A VIOLATION, ANYTIME THEY'VE BEEN THERE AND ON MY PROPERTY, IT'S DEFINITELY NOT DONE NOW.

SO I FEEL THERE'S A WAY WE CAN COME TOGETHER ON THIS, BUT WE'RE GIVEN THE LAST MINUTE NOTICE.

WE'VE GOT SOMEWHAT OF A EFFICIENT TO GIVE US MORE TIME.

A LOT OF US HAVE SIGNED IT, SOME PEOPLE AREN'T HOME.

BUT IF I GIVE THIS TO YOU GUYS OF WE NEED TIME.

YOU GUYS DON'T MAKE DECISIONS OVERNIGHT, BUT YOU'RE ASKING US TO AND WE NEED SOME TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE GOTTA DO, WHAT WE CAN COME TOGETHER WITH YOU GUYS ON.

BUT THERE'S GOTTA BE A MUTUAL AGREEMENT, NOT JUST BACKDOOR.

HERE YOU GO.

DEAL WITH IT.

I WAS GONNA SAY, YOU COULD GIVE THAT TO THE CLERK.

I THINK IF YOU WANT AWARE, I'M HERE EARLY, I LIVE ON SHELLY STREET AND I HAVE NOT GOT A CITATION, BUT CAN I EXPECT ONE? AND WHEN WAS, WHEN DID THIS CODE GO INTO EFFECT? HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN ON THE BOOKS AND NOBODY JUST FOLLOWED IT? I KNOW THERE ARE SIDEWALKS IN OUR COMMUNITY, THEY'RE SO BAD THAT YOU CAN'T WALK DOWN 'EM, BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT WE'RE IN A REPRESSED AREA AND SOME PEOPLE JUST, THEY'LL LOSE THEIR HOUSES, THEY'LL LOSE, THEY'LL HAVE NO MONEY TO PAY DAYCARE OR HIGH GROCERIES WITH A FINANCIAL BURDEN LIKE THAT.

I'M NOT TALKING JUST FOR MYSELF BECAUSE I HAVEN'T GOT THE LETTER YET, BUT I READ IT AND I'M CONCERNED FOR EVERYONE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO DO YOU KNOW WHEN THAT CODE WAS? WAS IT JUST ESTABLISHED? HAS IT BEEN THERE? IT'S NOT A BIG, YEAH, WE TRY NOT TO GET INTO A CONVERSATION, BUT THE CODE IS NOT, NOT BRAND NEW.

UM, OKAY.

BUT THAT'S ALL I BETTER.

SO IF IT'S NOT BRAND NEW, THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO WORK WITH IT.

RIGHT? RIGHT.

SO ANYWAY, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

IT'S BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT PROBABLY CAN'T AFFORD THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR CONCRETE, EVEN THOUGH THEY NEED IT.

WHY ARE WE REPLACING WHEN IT LOOKS STILL LOOKS GOOD.

I AM MARY ANN BIRD AND I ALSO LIVE ON JEFFERSON AND I'M 87 YEARS OLD AND I GOT THE LETTER AND THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HAVE TO LOSE MY HOME.

I ALL ENDED UP ON HIS SOCIAL SECURITY AND FOR SIX, I LIVED THERE SINCE 1962 AND MY WATER'S RUN DOWN THE LITTLE DRAIN THE SAME WAY.

THERE'S A LITTLE CRACK IN THE LITTLE THING THAT HE SAID WE'RE SHORT ON, UM, CEMENT.

[00:10:01]

ITS A STILL WALK ON IT.

THEY CAN STILL, ANYWAY, I'M JUST, AND I LIKE JOY.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT CAN'T AFFORD IT.

I MEAN, JUST 'CAUSE I'M 87, THERE'S STILL PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN THAT HAVE TO BE FED, CLOTHED, GO TO SCHOOL AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE BECAUSE THE LETTER WAS REALLY THREATENING $35 THE FIRST DAY.

IF YOU DON'T GET IT DONE, 75, THE SECOND, 150, THE THIRD AND SO ON.

AND THEN THEY PUT IT, DO IT, AND THEN THEY'LL PUT ASSESSMENT AGAINST YOUR HOME AND IT REALLY WORRIES YOU.

ALMOST GIVES YOU A HEART ATTACK SOMETIMES.

BUT THAT'S WHAT I GOT.

BEAUTIFUL LIKE, LIKE EVERY ONE OF YOU COUNCILMEN.

AND, UM, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE QUIET UP HERE, WE UH, WILL TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY.

HI, I'M BRAD FOSTER.

UM, I ALSO LIVE ON JEFFERSON AVENUE.

UM, THAT WAS MY MOM.

UM, SHE'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST SALT OF THE EARTH INDIVIDUALS I HAVE EVER.

WELL OBVIOUSLY I'M A LITTLE PARTIAL, BUT SALT OF THE EARTH INDIVIDUALS I'VE EVER KNOWN IN MY LIFE HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING, HAS PAID HER TAXES, HAS PAID HER PROPERTY TAXES, HAS FOR ALL FOR LIFE.

UM, AND SHE CALLED ME DOWN TO HER HOME TO LOOK AT THIS LETTER, UH, WITH FIRST WITH THE FILE FALLS POLICE DEPARTMENT LETTERHEAD ON IT.

UM, YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE OPENING FOR ONE.

SECONDLY, UM, I'M ALONG WITH ALL THESE OTHER, UH, CITIZENS, OUT OF ALL CITIZENS AND RESIDENTS OF PROBABLY MOST OF US ON JEFFERSON AVENUE, UM, FEEL PRETTY THREATENED BY THAT.

THERE, IT WAS PRETTY, UM, IT WAS PRETTY BAD.

UM, I HONESTLY FEEL THAT WITH THE PROPERTY TAXES THAT WE PAY AND THE, I MEAN UTILITIES AND, AND, AND EVERYTHING THAT THE CITY'S DOING TO US RIGHT NOW, AND IT, IT IS NOTHING THAT WE AS CITIZENS ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY.

BUT ALONG WITH YOU, CAN WE DO ANYTHING IN THIS CITY WITHOUT PAYING A TAX? HOW MUCH MORE, HOW MUCH MORE MONEY DO FROM US? HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU, HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU WANT IN MY WALLET BECAUSE I'M, I'M OUT THERE, YOU KNOW, WITH IT'S GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO PAY.

AND I HAVE VOTED FOR YOU PEOPLE, HOPEFULLY THAT YOU GUYS HAVE, YOU KNOW, LOOKED OUT FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF, OF US.

THE NORTH END OF JEFFERSON AVENUE WITH MEL FIELD AND, AND, AND WITH JEFFERSON ON IT IS, IS NOT A, A HIGH DOLLAR MONEY MAKER.

PEOPLE THERE PROBABLY MAKE, WELL MY MOM IS ON SOCIAL SECURITY.

I I PROBABLY MAKE 40,000, MAYBE $50,000 A YEAR.

IT'S HARD TO, UH, TO GET BY NOWADAYS.

AND THEN WHEN YOU'VE GOT WITH THIS YOUNG LADY WITH AN UNEXPECTED COST OF, OF CONCRETE, THEN YOU'VE GOTTA GO THROUGH HIGHER IN THE GUY AND WORRYING ABOUT THE GUY.

AND IS THE CITY GONNA DO THIS? IS ARE WE EXPECT TO DO THIS? AND, AND IT'S, IT WAS VERY VAGUE AND, UM, VAGUELY WRITTEN AND PROBABLY VERY LIKE ATTACKING.

UM, WE'RE, WE'RE NOT HERE TO LIKE SAY THAT WE DON'T WANT TO HELP BECAUSE WE WANT TO HELP THE CITY.

WE, WE WANT THE CITY TO TO BE

[00:15:02]

BUT AT WHAT, AT WHAT POINT ARE YOU PUTTING THIS ON US? IT'S, I LOVE THIS CITY.

I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THIS CITY.

I, I, I LOVE OKLAHOMA FALLS.

I WANT TO, I WANT TO BE HERE FOR UNTIL I DIE.

I MEAN, BUT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT AND I, I RESPECT YOU PEOPLE HEAR US, HEAR US.

'CAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE CRYING OUT FOR, FOR YOU GUYS TO HEAR US.

UM, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO LIKE WALK AWAY FROM HERE AND GO, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY REALLY, REALLY KNOW WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM.

I THINK WE DO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM AND WE'RE WE BEHIND THE SCENES, WE'LL WORK ON THIS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I I THINK WE SHOULD GO FORWARD IN CASE SOMEBODY ELSE HAS A CALL.

I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I DID TAKE A PICTURE BEFORE I COME IN.

YOU GUYS NEED SOME, UH, SIDEWALK AND SOME I GOTTA REPAIR ALSO.

ANYONE ELSE? ALL

UM, DIRECTOR ALEXANDER MUNICIPAL SERVICES.

I REMEMBER AS A KID, I DIDN'T GROW UP HERE, BUT MY GRANDFATHER LIVED ON SEVENTH AND MY DAD WOULD TAKE ME DOWN THERE REALLY EARLY SATURDAY MORNINGS AND I THINK WE COULD JUST GET IN THE ZOO.

I DON'T THINK THERE WERE ANY GATES OR ANYTHING.

WE USED TO WALK AROUND.

SO I, I REMEMBER THE ZOO FROM ABOUT 1963 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU.

THANKS, THANKS FOR MENTIONING THAT.

THERE'S A LOT HAPPENING AT THE ZOO RIGHT NOW.

I MEAN, THIS IS A REALLY SPECIAL PROJECT.

WE'VE GOT THE LAW CUT JUST ABOUT TO OPEN.

SEVERAL ITEMS. THANK YOU, COUNSEL.

WELL, THIS ITEM WAS NOT DISCUSSED AT THE LAST WORK SESSION, SO, UM, BUT IT IS THE SECOND PURCHASE.

UM, WE ACTUALLY PURCHASED A ENFORCER FOR OUR HAZMAT UNIT WITH OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THIS IS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, UM, UM, DEPARTMENT IN THE STATE OF IDAHO.

AND WE'RE ACTUALLY PART OF REGION SEVEN.

THIS ITEM THAT YOU'LL SEE THIS EVENING IS TO PURCHASE WHAT THEY CALL A F FIVE 50 LIGHT.

SO IT'S NOT AS BIG AS THE ENFORCER, BUT IT DOES DO THE SPECIALIZED HAZMAT EQUIPMENT, UM, THAT WE NEED IN THE FIELD TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT SOUTHEAST IDAHO ON OUR HAZMAT DUTIES.

UM, AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, UM, THIS, UH, AGREEMENT WAS

[00:25:01]

ACTUALLY DISCUSSED AT COUNCIL BACK IN OCTOBER AND IT WAS APPROVED BY COUNCIL.

AND, UM, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS IS THE SECOND, UH, PURCHASE.

THERE'S STILL FUNDS REMAINING.

UM, THE, THE TOTAL OF THE TOTAL GRANT WAS, UH, $2,168,285 AND 71 CENTS.

AS I MENTIONED, WE DID, UH, PURCHASE THE, UM, ENFORCER, THE PIERCE ENFORCER, HAZMAT DUTY, UH, RESCUE APPARATUS.

THERE'S ACTUALLY A PICTURE OF WHAT THE FIVE 50 MIGHT LOOK LIKE, UM, BUT IT'S GONNA BE RED AND NOT WHITE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.

UM, FROM COACH PAULSON AND, UH, DEPUTY CHIEF REDFORD.

AND AGAIN, UH, THIS ITEM IS TO, UM, PURCHASE THE UNIT FROM RUSH TRUCK CENTER USING THE SOURCE WALL COOPERATIVE PURCHASING CONTRACT FOR A TOTAL OF $298,000.

YEAH, IT IS BUDGETED.

IT IS RECEIVED AND WE'VE GOT MAYBE ONE OR TWO ITEMS LEFT THAT WE'RE GONNA BRING FORWARD, UH, AS SOON AS WE GET THE, THE COORDINATED PURCHASING BECAUSE ALL OF THE, UH, REGIONS ARE WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO GET THE BEST PRICE FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

AND SO WE'LL BE BRINGING THESE BACK.

PROBABLY ANOTHER COUPLE OF ITEMS BACK THAT WOULD FINISH OFF THIS GRANT OF 2.1, 2.1, ALMOST 2.2 MILLION.

AND I DO APPRECIATE THE PICTURE.

WHEN WILL THE VEHICLE BE HERE? PARDON ME? WHEN WILL THE VEHICLE BE HERE? WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT ANYWHERE BETWEEN 14 AND 16 WEEKS JUST BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURING AND THAT TYPE OF THING.

BUT WE'RE HOPING TO GET IT SOONER IF, IF ALL GOES WELL.

AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, ALL THE REGIONS ARE TRYING TO GO TOGETHER AND GET US ALL IN THE SAME MANUFACTURING QUEUE AND THAT WAY WE CAN ALL BENEFIT FROM THE, UM, LEVERAGING COST PRICES AND ALSO BEING IN THE QUEUE TOGETHER SO WE CAN GET ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT OUT.

I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE, UH, SAM.GOV WAS HIGHLIGHTED, SO APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU FOR I WOULD MOVE TO ACCEPT THE PURCHASE OF ONE FORD F FIVE 50 HAZMAT UNIT FROM RUSH TUCK TRUCK CENTER.

ACCESSING THE SOURCE, WELL CONTRACT A COOPERATIVE GOVERNMENT CONTRACT OH 3 2 84 DASH RTG FOR A TOTAL OF $298,000 AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO SIGN THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

ALRIGHT, I'M READY FOR THE MOTION.

I WOULD MOVE TO EXCEPTION APPROVE THE LOWEST OF THREE QUOTES RECEIVED FROM KNIFE RIVER CORPORATION FOR A TOTAL OF $150,975 AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR PRO TE AND CITY CLERK TO SIGN THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

[5.C.3) Resolution - Cost Allocation Policy]

ALLOCATION POLICY.

OKAY, SO THANK YOU, UH, COUNSEL THIS EVENING.

WE ARE PRESENTING A RESOLUTION TO ADOPT A COST ALLOCATION POLICY.

UM, WE'VE TALKED ABOUT COST ALLOCATION EVERY YEAR DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS, AND WE'RE COMING A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THIS YEAR, YEAR BECAUSE WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM MAJORITY OF OUR DEPARTMENTS IS THE INTEREST TO HAVE THINGS IN WRITING, HAVE EVERYTHING, UM, PRESENTED, AND THAT WAY WITH A RESOLUTION, THIS RESOLUTION WILL BE IN PLACE FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS.

UM, BUT WHAT IT DOES IS IT PROVIDES, YOU KNOW, TRANSPARENCY WITH HOW WE CALCULATE COST ALLOCATION WITH

[00:30:01]

SO WE ARE ASKING FOR A RESOLUTION TO MEMORIALIZE THIS PROCESS, AND WE DID HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT AT WORK, AT WORK SESSION ON APRIL 20TH.

OUR ASSISTANT FINANCE MANAGER, BROOKS, UH, DID A PRESENTATION.

AND SO WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN YOUR PACKET IS THE PROPOSED, UH, FINAL POLICY, THE CALCULATIONS, AS WELL AS THE RESOLUTION THAT WOULD ADOPT THIS POLICY FOR A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS.

UM, THAT WAY WE HAVE, UH, FAIRNESS AND CONSISTENCY AND TRANSPARENCY FOR THE NEXT THREE BUDGET CYCLES BEGINNING IN THIS, UH, 26, 27 BUDGET, WHICH WAS, SORRY, OCTOBER 1ST, 2027 OR 2026.

PARDON ME.

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS.

COUNCIL, , JUST A QUESTION IS, UM, WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? I THINK THAT'S A GREAT CONVERSATION TO HAVE UNTIL THE PUBLIC.

AND THEN WHAT IS THE AIMS OF THIS? AND THEN WHY THREE YEARS TO REVIEW? WELL, IF, IF YOU SEE THE POLICY, IT'S, IT'S BASED ON A FIVE YEAR AVERAGE OF ACTUALS AND THE CONSISTENCY, UH, OR THE, PARDON ME, THE CONSENSUS OF THE DEPARTMENTS WERE, IS THERE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PUT IN PLACE THROUGH POLICY THAT'S MEMORIALIZED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME? WE FELT COLLECTIVELY FIVE YEARS IS PROBABLY TOO LONG.

THREE YEARS IS PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

AND ONE YEAR, YEAR AFTER YEAR WAS THE FEEDBACK THAT WE DID GET RECEIVE FROM THE DEPARTMENTS.

THAT CHANGING EVERY YEAR IS JUST TOO UNCERTAIN.

THERE'S TOO MANY PROBLEMATIC ISSUES WITH THAT AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, THE TRANSPARENCY OF THE PROCESS.

SO WE SETTLED ON THREE YEARS AS BASICALLY THE BEST PRACTICE TO KEEP A POLICY IN PLACE.

AND ONLY ONE FOLLOW UP ON THAT IS WE, THERE WAS THIS CONVERSATION WITH THE FAA, SO IF WE DO RUN INTO SOMETHING AND WE COULD COME BACK AND VISIT THIS POLICY IF WE DECIDED THAT, THAT WE NEEDED UPDATED 'CAUSE OF THE OUTSIDE AGENCIES COUNCIL RECORD.

YEAH, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

AND SO IT, IT, IT HELPS US TO HAVE EVERYTHING SOLIDIFIED BEFORE THEN.

BUT OBVIOUSLY IF SOMETHING COMES BACK FROM ANY DEPARTMENT OR ANY FUNDING SOURCE, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRING BACK THAT INFORMATION TO COUNCIL TO REVISE THE RESOLUTION IF NECESSARY.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND, UH, AS MANY OF YOU HERE KNOW, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO MORE TIME SENSITIVE THINGS TO MAKE SURE THAT AS GOVERNMENT WE'RE BUILDING TRUST IN SOLVING PROBLEMS AND THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING TO SEE THAT WE ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE SET UP TO DO AND COME BACK AND LOOK AT THAT.

SO I, I LIKE THAT ELEMENT OF THIS AND, UH, WE'LL KEEP AT IT AND ITERATE AS WE GET BETTER.

THERE ARE MANY FORMULAS IN THAT DOCUMENT.

IT, IT'S A BIT COMPLICATED, BUT, UM, I'M VERY GLAD IT'S WRITTEN DOWN.

I'M RIGHT.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION OF ADOPTING THE CITY OF BATTLE FALLS COST ALLOCATION POLICY DATED APRIL, 2026 AND PROVIDE THAT THIS RESOLUTION BE EFFECTIVE UPON PASSAGE AND APPROVAL AND AUTHORIZED THE MAYOR PROM AND CITY CLERK TO SIGN THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

SECOND FREEMAN? YES, FRANCIS.

[5.D.1) Final Plat, Development Agreement, and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards, Swire Pacific, Division No. 1]

THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND COUNCIL.

UH, THE FIRST ITEM THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU FROM THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT IS THE, UM, THE SWIRE PACIFIC DIG DIVISION ONE FINAL PLAT P LT 26 DASH 0 0 6.

THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, UH, JUST NORTH OF 65TH SOUTH, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE ON 15TH WEST.

THIS IS A SINGLE LOT SUBDIVISION.

UM, AND IT'S 18.31 ACRES.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT'S CLOSE BY? UH, SO, UM, THE ANHEUSER BUSCH IS ACTUALLY RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS ANHEUSER BUSCH, UM, BARLEY PLANT RIGHT THERE.

AND THEN THIS, UH, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT THIS, IT'S AN AGRICULTURAL USE.

THERE'S OUR CEMETERY.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

THE CEMETERY'S RIGHT HERE ACROSS YELLOWSTONE HIGHWAY, SO YEAH.

AND THIS IS FIFTH WEST AND 60 SOUTH ACTUALLY DOWN.

THAT DOESN'T TO ME.

UH, THE REASON THAT THIS IS COMING BEFORE YOU IS THERE'S DEDICATION, UH, OF RIGHT OF WAY ALONG 15TH WEST RIGHT HERE, AS WELL AS A, UH, PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT, WHICH IS A WATER LINE THAT LOOPS THE PROPERTY.

NOT THAT THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND ME, BUT, UM, UH, THE PROPERTY IS ZONED I AND M AND, UH, AS I SAID, IT'S A SINGLE LOT SUBDIVISION.

[00:35:02]

THE FUTURE USE IS GOING TO BE INDUSTRIAL.

SO THEY'RE JUST KEEPING THE ZONING, THEY'RE JUST, UM, THEY'RE JUST DEDICATING THE RIGHT OF WAY AS PART OF FUTURE SITE PLAN APPROVAL.

UM, THIS ITEM, OH, IT IS CURRENTLY BEING USED.

UH, NOT THAT I'M AWARE THAT IT'S BEING FARMED AT THIS TIME.

IT'S JUST AN OPEN FIELD.

UM, THIS ITEM WENT TO PLANNING COMMISSION ON APRIL 7TH, 2026.

UH, NO PUBLIC COMMENTED ON THIS ITEM.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UH, DID SEND A UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION TO YOU.

THERE WAS, UH, THERE WAS NO DISSENT ON THAT.

FURTHER.

ONE THING WITH YOUR, UH, MEMO ON THERE, JUST BE COGNIZANT THAT ALL STAFF HAS REVIEWED THIS.

I, I THINK IT JUST SAID LEGAL AND PRINCIPAL SERVICES HAVE REVIEWED IT, BUT PUBLIC WORKS, FIRE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, ALL THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT DEAL WITH DEVELOPMENT HAVE REVIEWED THIS AND HAVE SIGNED OFF ON IT.

WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

COUNCIL GLAD.

I'VE GOT ONE MORE TO GO.

THAT'S OKAY.

SO THEY MATCH VERY EQUALLY BECAUSE IT'S JUST FOR FUTURE BECAUSE IT'S IN THE CITY.

DIRECTOR SANDRA, YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE MS. FERRIS AND YES, UH, I THINK WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE AN ACTION ITEM HERE.

AND FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW FINAL PLOTS ARE REQUIRED BY THE LOCAL LAND USE PLANNING ACT.

THE STATE OR THE STATE STATUTE ARE AUTOMATICALLY APPROVED IF ALL THE PROPER STAFF HAS SIGNED OFF ON IT.

THAT'S CORRECT, YES.

AND, UH, GLOBAL LAND USE PLANNING ACRONYM LUPA AS WE, THE ACRONYM WE'RE IN THE GOVERNMENT, SO WE WORK IN ACRONYMS, BUT THE, UM, IT, THE LANGUAGE IN THERE ACTUALLY SAYS, SHALL APPROVE.

SO, YES.

ALRIGHT.

WE HAVE THREE MOTIONS TO CARRY THIS OUT.

COUNCIL MOTIONS.

CERTAINLY I WOULD BE HAPPY TO MAKE SURE.

UH, I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE FINAL PLAT FOR SCHWAR PACIFIC DIVISION NUMBER ONE AND GIVE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO SIGN THE SAID AGREEMENT.

SECOND MOTION WOULD BE, UH, APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT FOR SQUIRE PACIFIC DIVISION NUMBER ONE AND GIVE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE MAYOR, CITY ENGINEER AND CITY CLERK TO SET SIGN.

SAID FINAL PLAT SECOND FREEMAN.

AND LAST MOTION TO APPROVE THE REASON STATEMENT OF CRITERIA AND STANDARDS FOR THE FINAL PLOT FOR SWIRE PACIFIC DIVISION ONE.

AND GIVE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

[5.D.2) Public Hearing for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) PY 2025 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)]

WE JUST OPENED A PUBLIC HEARING, IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

AND CAN I OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING JUST BY ANNOUNCING THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN.

I GUESS WE, THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO.

BE A HUD ELIGIBLE ACTIVITY.

UM, SO I'M, THIS IS WHEN YOU WERE ASKING, WE'RE OWNING IT.

WE ARE.

SO FROM THIS DAY, EXCUSE ME, UNTIL THE 22ND OF MAY, IT'LL BE OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND ALL THOSE COMMENTS GET INCLUDED INTO THE FINAL, UM, CAPER THAT GOES TO HUD.

SO THIS IS OUR, UM, PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE, UM, 2025 CONSOLIDATED HAND YEAR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION REPORT.

THIS IS THE REPORT THAT WE PROVIDE TO HUD, UH, THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S FUNDING AND HOW THE FUNDS WERE SPENT.

SO, UM, I'LL GO THROUGH IT PRETTY QUICKLY JUST BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS.

UM, BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WE CAN, WE CAN MOVE TO THAT AS WELL.

SO ALL OF OUR, OUR PROJECTS, THEY HAVE TO MEET THE BASIC CRITERIA OF BEING A, A HUD APPROVED PROJECT AND ACTIVITY, MEANING THEY HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THREE NATIONAL OBJECTIVES.

THEY HAVE TO

[00:40:01]

UM, THEY HAVE TO BE, UM, A PRIORITY OUT OF OUR CURRENT COMP PLAN AND THEY HAVE TO BE SELECTED FOR THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.

ALL OF THE PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES HAVE TO BE MADE, ONE OF FOUR PRIORITIES, MEDIUM COMMUNITY ECONOMIC HOUSING, AND A PUBLIC SERVICE PRIORITY.

AND I'LL GO THROUGH SOME EXAMPLES AND SHOW YOU SOME.

HERE'S HOW WE'VE SPENT OUR FUNDS AS OF TODAY.

THIS IS OUR BALANCE.

SO WE'VE DATED A PROGRAM SINCE 2004 WHERE WE BECAME AN ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY, WHICH ALLOWS US TO APPLY TO HUD EACH YEAR FOR OUR ANNUAL ALLOCATION.

SO, UM, UH, OF 22 YEARS WE'VE HAD $8,820,544 IN CITY FUNDS.

WE HAVE A BALANCE OF 3 47, 2 0.6 47.

AND THAT'S FROM PROGRAM YEARS 20, 23, 24, AND 25.

AND WE ARE ON TRACK TO RECEIVE OUR ALLOCATION.

UM, THE 2026 ALLOCATION OF 414,143 UPON THE APPROVAL OF OUR 2026 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AND OUR NEW COMPACT THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, THIS IS OUR CENSUS TRACK MAP.

THIS IS WHERE ARD SPIN.

SO THERE'S THREE SECTION TRACKS IN THE HYPO FALLS AREA.

WE COMPLETED 29 PROJECTS IN OUR CALENDAR YEAR OF APRIL, FIRST OF 2025 TO MARCH 31ST, 2026.

AND THE RED DOTS INDICATE WHERE THOSE PROJECTS ARE WITHIN THOSE CENSUS FACTS.

THIS IS OUR ALLOCATION IN 2025.

SO WE RECEIVED 412 3 42 AND UM, WE'VE SPENT A HUNDRED FORTY SIX, TEN SEVENTY EIGHT.

WE STILL HAVE A BALANCE OF 2 71 7 3 1 22.

WE'VE COMPLETED SEVEN OUT OF THE 11 PROJECTS AND THE REMAINDER OF PROJECTS ARE MOVING THROUGH IN DIFFERENT PHASES.

SO WITH OUR UH, 2025 ALLOCATION, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CRISIS CENTER WAS ABLE TO ASSIST 894 CLIENTS.

UM, I, IDAHO LEGAL AID WAS ABLE TO ASSIST, ASSIST 52 CLIENTS.

PROMISE RICH WAS ABLE TO ASSIST 75 FAMILIES WITH EMERGENCY SHELTER.

NEST PREGNANCY CENTER WAS ABLE TO ASSIST 15 INDIVIDUALS WITH PRENATAL CARE AND UNITED WAY WAS ABLE TO ASSIST SIX FAMILIES.

UM, AT DAYCARE, IDAHO FALLS SENIOR CENTER WAS ABLE TO PREPARE AND DELIVER 637 MEALS FOR THEIR MEALS ON WHEEL PROGRAM.

UH, WITH ONE FULL-TIME, UM, EMPLOYEE, WE WERE ABLE TO ADMINISTER THE PROGRAM, UH, COMPLETE THE 2025 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN, THE 25 PAPER, UM, ALL FINANCIAL REPORTS AND MANAGEMENT OF THE THE PROGRAMS. WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO, UM, SUPPORT AND HOST THE FAIR HOUSE AND TRAINING IN 2025, UM, SUPPORT THE HOMELESS, STAND DOWN ON NOVEMBER 8TH AND SUPPORT THE POINT IN TIME COUNT THAT WAS HELD ON JANUARY 29TH, 2025.

THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL DATA AND LINKS THERE IF YOU WANT TO GO ONTO THE ITEM HOMELESS REPORT TO GET SPECIFIC DATA BY COUNTY.

UM, AND FOR THE STATE IDAHO.

SO OUR TOTAL THAT WE SPENT IN OUR PROGRAM YEAR BETWEEN THE THREE PROGRAM YEARS OF 2020 3.4 AND 25, UM, COHORT 1 97.

A 64.

AND IF YOU LOOK DOWN, UM, OR IT SAYS PROGRAM YEAR 2024.

THIS IS THE PROJECTS THAT WERE COMPLETED.

SO UNITED WAY, UM, WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE SIX DAYCARE VOUCHERS.

THE IDAHO FALLS RESCUE MISSION WAS ABLE TO FINISH THE REHAB OF THEIR 10 EMERGENCY UNITS AND PUBLIC WORKS WAS ABLE TO FINISH UM, 12, UH, CURB VETERAN SIDEWALK PROJECTS.

AND THEN HABITAT ITY WAS ABLE TO DO MINOR EXTERIOR REPAIRS TO FOUR SINGLE UNIT HOMES.

WITH OUR 2023 ALLOCATION, UH, THE YMC WAS ABLE TO FINISH THEIR PROJECT ON THE EAST AND WEST SIDE ENTRANCES AND UM, WERE ABLE TO COMPLETE A PROFESSIONAL SIGN FOR THE KINGSTON BUILDING FOR THE FUNDS, UM, AWNINGS AND SIGNS AT, UM, PARK A ITALIA AND SIGN IT SNAKE BITE AND SIGNS FOR HIGH DESERT REALTORS COMPLETED.

THIS IS THE STATUS OF OUR FOLKS.

UM, THE BOUNCES LOOKED OVER.

SO FOR 2025, OUR PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT IN HIGHLAND PARK WILL, WELL IT ACTUALLY STARTED THE 27TH OF APRIL AND SHOULD BE COMPLETED APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 31ST.

UM, DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP HAS STARTING THEIR EXTERIOR REHAB PROJECT AND SAW IMPROVEMENTS.

UH, WE HAVE SOME PENDING ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FOR THE KINGSTON BUILDING AND SALVATION ARMY WILL BE COMPLETED WITH THEIR PROJECT BY THE END OF MAY WITH OUR 2024,

[00:45:01]

UH, FUNDING THAT'S LEFT OVER.

HABITAT WILL CONTINUE THEIR EXTERIOR PAINT AND REPAIR IN MAY AND ONCE THROUGH SEPTEMBER.

AND THEN, UM, FACADE IMPROVEMENT AGAIN, THIS IS, UM, THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FACADE PROJECT FOR KINGSTON BUILDING.

THE REASON WHY IT'S LISTED TWICE IS BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING THEIR EAST FACADE AND THE NORTH FACADE.

SO WE BREAK UP THOSE FACADE FUNDS TO COVER A SECTION, UH, THAT AMOUNT FOR EACH SECTION.

AND THEY DID THE 2023 CALENDAR YEAR AGAIN.

UM, WE HAVE A PROJECT SCRIPT THAT'S DEVELOPING FOR HIGH DESERT REALTORS ON MEMORIAL.

THIS IS, UM, SOME FOURS AND AFTER PICTURES THAT ARE OCCURRED BETTER AT SIDEWALK IN UM, HIGHLAND PARK.

SO THIS IS ON ELMORE HAM STREETS.

UM, I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THIS PARTICULAR AREA HAS BEEN RECEIVING CURB VETERANS SIDEWALK SINCE 2019.

AND AFTER THE 25 20 25 PROJECT COMPLETES IN AUGUST, WE'LL HAVE OVER 123 PROPERTIES THAT WERE ASSISTED WITH CURB SIDEWALK THAT ONCE WASN'T THERE.

UH, WITH JUST OVER 1 MILLION IN CCP G FUNDS TO COVER THOSE COSTS.

SO I THINK IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL.

I DUNNO, YOU HAD A CHANCE TO DRIVE THROUGH THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE.

THERE'S ANOTHER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, UM, EXAMPLE.

THIS IS, UH, THE EAST ENTRANCE FOR THE YMCA.

YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A BEFORE AND AFTER.

SO, UM, THE RAILING PARTY GOT INSTALLED THIS YEAR, SO WE'RE HAPPY TO SEE THAT.

AND HERE'S THE WEST ENTRANCE.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN THE BEFORES.

THIS IS THE INTEREST TO THE DAYCARE AND THIS IS IT.

NOW IT LOOKS SAFER.

HERE'S A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP, WHICH WILL START IN MAY SINCE, UM, EXTERIOR REHAB REPAIR.

THIS IS A RENDERING OF THE KINGSTON BUILDING OF, SO SEE BEFORE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE CURRENTLY UP IN THE LEFT HAND CORNER.

AND THIS IS THE RENDERING THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

THERE'S OUR SIGN THAT SNAKE BY AND THERE'S OUR SIGN IN ON PART ITALIA, OUR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY.

THIS IS THE HABITAT.

THIS IS OUR MINOR EXTERIOR REPAIR FOR ELDERLY HOMES AND THE CENSUS TRACKS.

HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE.

AGAIN, THIS ONE SPREADS UP IN MAY AND SHOULD GO THROUGH SEPTEMBER.

THESE ARE SOME OF OUR PUBLIC SERVICE PRIORITY ACTIVITIES THAT WE COMPLETED ABOUT 25 FUNDING.

AND THEN HERE'S OUR PAPER SCHEDULE.

SO AGAIN, WE GO FROM MAY 7TH TO MAY 22 FOR PUBLIC HEARING.

IT IS POSTED ON OUR C WEBSITE WITH THE CITY.

SO ANY COMMENTS THAT WE RECEIVED WILL BE INCLUDED IN OUR PAPER, WHICH WILL BE SUBMITTED TO HUD.

UM, WE'RE ON A SCHEDULE FOR JUNE 4TH FOR COUNCIL MEETING AND RESOLUTION.

AND THEN THE PLAN GETS SUBMITTED TO HUD ON REPORT JUNE 15TH.

UM, HUD'S DEADLINE FOR THIS REPORT IS JUNE 30TH.

AND I JUST WANNA SHARE THIS VERY, VERY BRIEFLY.

THIS IS A SUMMARY OF OUR OUR CARES ACT COVID FUNDS.

UM, WE RECEIVED TWO ALLOCATIONS, ONE TO REFER AS CD ONE.

THE OTHER IS CD THREE.

CD TWO WAS RESERVED FOR COUNTIES.

UH, WE HAVE ONE, UH, ONE PROJECT WITH CD ONE THAT'S OPEN AT 8,000 2339.

THAT'S OUR UTILITY ASSISTANCE.

UM, 21 OUT 22 PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

WE SPENT NO FUNDS IN 2025 AND THE FUNDS HAVE TILL SEPTEMBER 30TH OF THIS YEAR TO PAID OR THEY GET RETURNED TO TREASURY.

HERE'S SOME OF THE, UM, ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND SOME OF THE MODIFICATIONS THAT WERE MADE TO THE GRANT FUNDS OVER THE YEARS.

AND HERE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE COMPLETED FOR CD ONE AND CD THREE.

UM, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE ONLY ONE THERE IS THE ITEM THAT OUR UTILITY, UM, ASSISTANCE.

SO THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE FURTHER WE MOVE AWAY FROM COVID, THE HARDER IT IS TO MAKE THAT TIE BACK TO THOSE FUNDS.

AND IT'S, IT'S VERY DISTINCT OR IT HAS TO BE WITHIN THOSE THREE CENSUS TRACTS.

THEY HAVE TO MAKE INCOME GUIDELINES.

BUT AGAIN, YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION BACK TO THAT COVID.

SO THAT WOULD EXPLAIN A REASON FOR HAVING A SMALL BALANCE OF FUNDS LEFT OVER.

[00:50:05]

I ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

SO IF SOMEONE, 'CAUSE I THINK PEOPLE ARE STILL GETTING COVID AND IF THEY MISS WORK AND THEY HAVE A HARD TIME PAYING THEIR UTILITY, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THEY COULD STILL ASK FOR THIS MONEY? AND HOW DO THEY DO THAT IF THAT IS THE SCENARIO THEY FIND THEMSELVES? IF THAT IS THE SCENARIO, I, IF YOU COULD REFER 'EM TO ME, I COULD, UM, CONNECT THEM.

I COULD DO IT A LITTLE BIT OF THE INTAKE AND CONNECT THEM WITH POWER, I'D BE HAPPY TO TO CONSIDER THAT.

I CAN HELP WITH THAT PROBABLY 'CAUSE WE GET THOSE.

ONE OF THE OTHER ISSUES THAT WE RAN INTO WAS DURING THAT TIMEFRAME, SO MANY FUNDS WERE, WERE GIVEN GRANT FUNDS AND THERE WAS THE, UM, THE FEAR OF DUPLICATION OF BENEFIT.

SO, UM, I GUESS ONE OTHER QUESTION ON THAT.

DO THEY NEED A DOCUMENTING NOTE FOR, FROM A DOCTOR TO SAY THEY HAVE COVID OR CAN THEY JUST HAVE A TEST THAT THEY DO? THERE'S AN INTAKE PROCESS THAT WE TYPICALLY WORK THROUGH, UM, THE AGENCIES.

SO EITHER ECAP OR SALVATION ARMY OR ONE OF THOSE, THAT'S WHERE THAT KIND OF FILTERS THROUGH.

UM, SO INITIALLY I, I LIKE TO LOOK AT IT AND MAKE SURE THEY MEET THE BASIC CRITERIA AND THEN I WORK WITH THE AGENCY AND THEN WITH ITEM FALLS POWER.

I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE FUNDS, UH, CARRIES FUND, AR FUNDS AND SO FORTH HAVE TIME LIMITS ON SPENDING THEM.

UM, AND YOU, YOU DO MULTIPLE YEARS WHERE YOU HAVE CARRYOVERS AND, AND SOME OF THESE PROJECTS TAKE MORE THAN ONE YEAR OF COURSE.

UM, IS IS THERE A LIMIT ON ON WHEN YOU HAVE TO EXPEND THESE FUNDS? THERE'S UM, THERE'S MORE OF A LEEWAY WITH INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS BECAUSE WHEN WE, AND WE'RE TALKING JUST ABOUT AN ANNUAL ACTION PLAN LIKE THIS ONE THAT WE'RE GONNA BE STARTING IN 2026.

WE DON'T ACTUALLY RECEIVE THOSE BUMPS UNTIL AUGUST SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES SEPTEMBER.

AND SO THAT CONSTRUCTION SEASON IS DONE AND REIMBURSEMENT AND WE CAN'T GO BACK AND REIMBURSE ON IT UNLESS IT'S A PUBLIC SERVICE ACTIVITY.

THAT'S DIFFERENT BECAUSE OUR PLAN YEAR RUNS APRIL 1ST TO MARCH 31ST OF THE NEXT YEAR AND WE'RE NOT RECEIVING OUR FUNDS UNTIL AUGUST.

IT'S OBVIOUS WE'RE NOT GONNA BE READY UNTIL MAYBE THE SPRING TO ACTUALLY START THOSE PROJECTS.

AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENED CONSISTENTLY.

UM, AND AS LONG AS WE CAN EXPLAIN THAT AND AND PROVIDE A GOOD EXPLANATION FOR THAT, HUD IS PRETTY UNDERSTANDING.

AND THAT'S SPECIFICALLY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS THERE.

COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I I HAVE ONE THEN.

SO JUST TO REMIND ME OF THE SCHEDULE.

'CAUSE WE REACHED THAT POINT WHERE PEOPLE, CAN WE GET AN APPLYING FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF FUNDING, IS THAT RIGHT? YES.

BUT WHEN DOES THAT START? WE'VE ALREADY COMPLETED THAT.

OH, THAT'S DONE.

WE HAVE.

AND SO TALKING FOR THE 2026 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN, THAT PROCESS, WE RECEIVED 15 APPLICATIONS OVER 627,000 IN, IN AMOUNT REQUESTS.

AND WE START, WE HAVE OUR, UH, PUBLIC HEARING ON THE 21ST OF MAY FOR THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR THAT AND THE, AND THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN TOO.

AND THAT'S WHEN PEOPLE CAN COME AND SPEAK FOR THEIR PROGRAM.

YES.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS? OKAY.

WELL THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM RUN SO SMOOTHLY.

THE PACKET BECOME PART OF THE RECORD? YOU COULD DO THAT.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

YEAH, JUST THE COMMENT THAT, UH, THE LMI NEIGHBORHOODS, THIS IS, UH, REALLY AN AMAZING THING THAT CAN HELP AND JUDGING FROM THE CONVERSATION WE HAD EARLIER ABOUT JEFFERSON, SO , SO THERE'S A LOT OF NEED, RIGHT? FOR THESE KIND OF THINGS.

AND SO I APPRECIATE THE, SO NOW WE HAVE A LEGISLATIVE HEARING.

UM, OR WE, WE NEED TO, I KNOW WE DON'T LIKELY HAVE ANYBODY HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT, BUT OUR AGENDA DOES SAY WE'RE OPENING UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

OH, OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

SO IF YOU JUST PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT THE LAST FOR SEVERAL DAYS, RIGHT? YEAH, THEY CAN CONTINUE.

BUT OUR AGENDA SPECIFICALLY SAYS AVAILABLE FOR BOTH.

SO IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE, AT THIS CURRENT AGENDA ITEM OR WE GO SO LEGISLATIVE HEARING AND I GUESS WE HAVE TO GIVE PEOPLE OPPORTUNITY TO STEP AWAY IF THEY WANT TO.

BUT IT IS LEGISLATIVE, IT'S NOT TO DO SO FOR GOODS.

AND THEN DO I HAVE TO OR UH, ORDER THAT ALL THE DOCUMENTS IN

[00:55:01]

OKAY, THEN I SO DO THIS.

AND ARE YOU PRESENTING MR. SANDER? YES, SIR.

COUNCIL MEMBER FRANCIS.

UH, SO WE HAVE TO START THE, MY PRESENTATION.

UH, THERE WE

[5.D.3) Legislative Public Hearing for the Annexation and Initial Zoning of LC, Limited Commercial with the Controlled Development Airport Overlay Zone - Annexation and Initial Zoning Ordinances and Reasoned Statements of Relevant Criteria and Standards for approximately 7.692 acres in Part of the SW ¼ of Section 25, Township 2 North, Range 37 East.]

GO.

UH, THE NEXT ITEM IS FOR ANNEXATION 26 DASH ZERO THREE A REQUE A, UM, APPLICANT INITIATED ANNEXATION WITH A REQUEST TO, UH, ANN ANNEX 7.692 ACRES OF THE PROPERTY LOCATED IT'S, UH, C SHAPE OR PACMAN SHAPE, I GUESS JUST SOUTH OF, UH, SNAKE RIVER PARKWAY, JUST NORTH OF HERITAGE PARK, WHICH JUST SAID A RIBBON CUTTING YESTERDAY.

UH, SO IT'S THIS RED HIGHLIGHTED PROPERTY HERE.

AND THIS IS JUST A, A, A CLOSEUP OF THE PART, UH, OF THE PROPERTY.

THE PROPERTY IS PART OF THE RIVERSIDE URBAN RENEWAL DISTRICT, JUST SO YOU'RE AWARE.

AND THE REQUEST BY THE APPLICANT IS TO ANNEX INTO THE CITY WITH, UH, A REQUESTED ZONING OF THE LC.

UM, THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES ARE ZONED TO THE NORTH AND TO THE WEST ARE, UH, ZONED LC.

THERE ARE SOME PROPERTIES THAT ARE ZONED I AND M TO JUST THE SOUTH TO THE EAST AND THEN PUBLIC, WHICH IS THE SCREEN RIGHT HERE.

HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL IS THIS PINK CAME ACROSS THE RIVER ASSOCIATED WITH THE INITIAL ZONING REQUEST.

UH, JUST BE COGNIZANT, UM, FOR ANY MOTION WITH THE, THE INITIAL ZONING IS THAT THIS DOES HAVE AN AIRPORT OVERLAY, SPECIFICALLY THE CONTROLLED DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY.

UM, THIS OVERLAY WILL BASICALLY NOT IMPACT DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT, IT IS A PART OF THE INITIAL ZONING.

ANY RESIDENTIAL ZONING THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY COME ABOUT, UH, WITH, UH, THE LC REQUESTED ZONING WOULD ADHERE TO THE R THREE A ZONE.

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHOWS THIS AS MIXED USE CORRIDOR, PART OF MIXED USE CORRIDOR, UM, AS OUTLINED IN YOUR PACKET, UM, OR LC, WHICH IS, UH, MIXED USE CORRIDOR.

DOES, UM, DOES ELABORATE ON MORE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL USES, KIND OF THAT MIXED USE CONCEPT, WHICH LC VERY MUCH FALLS IN MIND WITH.

AND THIS ITEM WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON APRIL 7TH, 2026.

UH, NO PUBLIC COMMENTED UPON THIS APPLICATION AND IT WAS, UH, A POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION WAS SENT TO YOU UNANIMOUSLY.

AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

DARE I RAISE MY HAND? , THIS, THIS IS THE ONE I WAS REFERRING TO, THE, THE COUNTY IS, IF I'M READING IT RIGHT, I AM ONE.

I AM ONE, YES.

AND I WAS WONDERING HOW SIMILAR THAT IS TO WHAT WE WILL PUT ON IT IN THIS INITIAL YEAH, THAT, THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THAT, UM, IF I REMEMBER THE I AM ONE, I, I DID NOT LOOK AT THIS PRIOR.

SO I, UH, MAY BE MIS MISSPOKEN, BUT I THINK I AM IN, UH, THE COUNTY DOES DOES NOT ALLOW RESIDENTIAL.

AND SO THE LC, UM, DOES ALLOW THAT.

UM, SO THAT'S PROBABLY THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE THAT'S GONNA BE THERE.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THE ZONING THOUGH, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND UM, THOSE, UM, THOSE, UH, TRANSECTS AND I'M GONNA SAY CLAW, BUT KIND OF THAT BIG COLOR OR WHAT WE HAVE FOR, WHICH IN THIS CASE IS MIXED JUICE, UH, CENTERS.

THAT'S PRIMARILY WHAT WE LOOK AT TO GUIDE THE, UM, PROPOSED ZONING.

SO ANYWAYS, THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IS THAT THERE IS A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.

TO THE EAST OR AM I WRONG ON THAT? NO, THERE'S NOT.

SO, UM, UH, YEAH, IT'S JUST THE INDUSTRIAL USE THAT IT WOULD ALLOW FOR SOME RESIDENTIAL IF THAT WERE TO BE WHAT'S BUILT.

SO, AND I THINK I MISSED THE STEP BECAUSE I SHOULD HAVE INVITED THE APPLICANT TO SPEAK FIRST.

YOU, YOU CAN HAVE THE APPLICANT SPEAK NOW.

APPLICANT LIKE TO SPEAK? IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO, I'M HAPPY TO.

SO WOULD THE

[01:00:01]

IT IS UP TO YOU.

I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T, IF YOU THINK DIRECTOR CENTER HAS COVERED IT, HE'S DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB.

UH, QUESTION, COMMENTS? I DO HAVE A COMMENT.

UM, AND, AND MAYBE YOU CAN ENLIGHTEN ME.

UM, I'M CURIOUS ABOUT CONNECTING THE PATHWAY THROUGH THIS PROPERTY.

THAT'S BECAUSE I'M, I'M PSYCHED TO SEE IT COME INTO THE CITY BECAUSE I, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CONNECT IS, IS FROM THE LOWER, UM, TAYLOR'S CROSSING, UM, DOWN TO HERITAGE PARK.

WE DON'T HAVE A PATHWAY THAT CONNECTS THOSE TWO RIGHT NOW.

UM, AND I'M HOPING THAT THIS PROPERTY COMING INTO THE CITY WILL ENABLE US TO DO THAT.

IS THAT, IS THAT PART OF THE, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE STRAIGHT FROM THAT'S A, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION IF I REALIZE THAT WOULD BE COMING ABOUT THROUGH SOME DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL IN THE FUTURE.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST LOOKING AT THE, UH, IN TERMS OF JURISDICTION AND IN TERMS OF INITIAL ZONING, I'M JUST MAKING A PITCH.

OH, .

GOTCHA.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A QUESTION SO THAT THAT WOULD BE DISCUSSED THROUGH SOME FUTURE DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD A SITE PLAN OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.

BUT THIS HAS BEEN A KIND OF A STICKING SPOT WHERE IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET FROM, FROM HERITAGE PARK IN ONTO THE GREEN BELT PATH SYSTEM, UH, FURTHER NORTH.

SURE.

COUNCILOR LEE HAD TO LEAVE, BUT WE STILL HAVE A COURT.

ANYONE ELSE COMMENTS THEN? WE HAVE FOUR MOTIONS OR THREE FOUR MOTIONS.

YES.

YOU WANT ME TO READ? I'M TRYING NOT TO MAKE MOTIONS TODAY, SO, OKAY.

I YOU'RE GONNA WEAR ME OUT.

ALRIGHT, SO IT'S, UH, WE'VE CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING THEN.

ALRIGHT, WE'RE WE'RE TO THE ACTION ITEMS. UM, I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE ANNEXING APPROXIMATELY 7.62 ACRES IN THE PART OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 25, TOWNSHIP TWO NORTH RANGE 37 EAST SIGN, A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION OF TRANSECT OF MIXED USE CORRIDORS, CENTERS AND CORRIDORS.

AND UNDER THE SUSPENSION OF THE RULES REQUIRING THREE COMPLETE AND SEPARATE RATINGS, REQUEST THAT IT BE READ BY TITLE AND PUBLISHED BY SUMMARY.

DID WE MISS A STEP? YES.

THE, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING SO YOU HAVE TO OPEN IT TO THE PUBLIC FOR COMMENT.

DID WE NOT DO THAT? NO, I THOUGHT WE DID, BUT WE DIDN'T.

OH, DID YOU? OKAY.

NO, I'M, I'M SORRY.

SO ARE THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S ALRIGHT.

THOUGHT I HAD IT ON SEEING NO ONE.

THEN I WILL CLOSE THE HEARING AND UH, DO WE NEED TO REPEAT THE MOTION? NO, YOU CAN SAY I MAKE MADE THE SAME MOTION I MADE EARLIER.

SO WE WILL GO WITH THE SAME MOTION MADE EARLIER AND WE NEED A SECOND.

AN ANCE OF THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, PROVIDING FOR THE ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 7.692 ACRES DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A OF THIS ORDINANCE AMENDING THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY WITH THE APPROPRIATED COUNTY AND STATE AUTHORITIES AND PROVIDING PUBLICATION AND SUMMARY AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING MAPS LOCATED IN THE PLANNING OFFICE.

READY FOR ANOTHER MOTION? MM-HMM .

ALRIGHT, I WOULD MOVE THE COUNCIL.

APPROVE THE REASON STATEMENT OF RELEVANT CRITERIA AND STANDARDS FOR THE ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 6.7 0.692 ACRES IN THE PART OF THE SOUTHWEST QUARTER OF SECTION 25, TOWNSHIP TWO NORTH RANGE 37 EAST, AND GIVE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

I WOULD ALSO APPROVE, UH, HAVE COUNSEL APPROVE THE ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE INITIAL ZONING OF LC LIMITED COMMERCIAL WITH THE CONTROL DEVELOPMENT AIRPORT OVERLAY ZONE AS SHOWN IN THE ORDINANCE EXHIBITS UNDER SUSPENSION OF THE RULES REQUIRING THREE COMPLETE AND SEPARATE READINGS.

THE REQUEST THAT IT BE READ BY TITLE AND PUBLISHED BY SUMMARY THAT THE CITY LIMITS DOCUMENTS BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE AREA ANNEX HEREWITH AND THAT THE CITY PLANNER BE INSTRUCTED TO REFLECT SAID ANNEXATION AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND INITIAL ZONING

[01:05:01]

MOTION CARRIES AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, PROVIDING FOR THE INITIAL ZONING OF APPROXIMATELY 7.692 ACRES DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A OF THIS ORDINANCE AS LC LIMITED COMMERCIAL WITH THE CONTROLLED DEVELOPMENT AIRPORT OVERLAY ZONE AND PROVIDE LIABILITY PUBLICATION BY SUMMARY AND ESTABLISHING EFFECTIVELY.

AND LAST MOTION I WOULD'VE MOVED THE COUNCIL APPROVED THE RECENT STATEMENT OF RELEVANT AND CRITERIA AND STANDARDS FOR THE INITIAL ZONING OF LC LIMITED COMMERCIAL WITH THE CONTROLLED DEVELOPMENT AIRPORT LAY ZONE AND GIVE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.

[5.D.4) Mediation request for Willows Place Townhomes Planned Unit 26-174 Development.]

WE HAVE ONE MORE.

UM, DIRECTOR SAN ARE YOU INTRODUCING THIS ONE? IT'S ACTUALLY, YEAH, PROBABLY CDS BUT I'LL I'LL POINT.

UM, PER OUR ORDINANCE, IT HAS COME FROM CDS, SO THAT'S WHY THEY SUBMITTED THE MEMO.

SO THE, THE APPLICANT FOR THE WILLOWS TOWN TOWNHOUSE OR WILLOWS PLACE, TOWN HOMES, UH, SUBMITTED A MEDIATION REQUEST THAT'S IN YOUR PACKET.

WE'RE NOT HERE TO DISCUSS THE MERITS OF THEIR MEDIATION REQUEST AND THEIR, THEIR THEIR INITIAL PROPOSAL.

WE'RE NOT HERE TO DISCUSS THAT.

ALL IT IS IS TO UNDER OUR ORDINANCE IS, UH, UH, COUNSEL'S HERE TO, TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO ORDER MEDIATION AND IF SO, IF, IF IT BELIEVES THAT MEDIATION WOULD BE HELPFUL.

UM, AND IF OR MEDIATION IS ORDERED TO SELECT A MEDIATOR.

I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT, UM, WITH MEDIATORS LOCALLY IN THE AREA.

LUCKED OUT FOUND ONE KURT THOMPSON, UH, WHO IS AVAILABLE NEXT, NEXT THURSDAY FOR MEDIATION.

AND SO I WOULD PROPOSE THAT MEDIA PROPOSED MEDIATION 8:30 AM UM, ON THURSDAY, MAY 14TH WITH KURT THOMPSON.

UH, HIS HOURLY RATE, UM, IS 2 75, IS AN HOURLY RATE FOR, UH, TRAVEL IS A HUNDRED.

I THINK THOSE ARE REASONABLE PRICES BASED ON THE AREA.

UM, AND, AND HIS SERVICES AND HIS EXPERIENCE.

I BELIEVE HE'S HAD SOMEWHERE AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 30 YEARS AS AN ATTORNEY.

UM, I DON'T THINK HE'S LICENSED CURRENTLY, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, HE'S DOING THIS AFTER HIS CAREER IN PRACTICING.

BUT HE'S, HE, UH, HE IS A MEDIATOR.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LICENSED ATTORNEY TO BE A MEDIATOR.

UM, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HE, HE DOES REGULARLY IS THE, THE MEDIATION.

AND HE, HE HAD ACTUALLY JUST HAD ONE, UH, WHEN I CALLED HIM.

UH, HE HAD DONE ONE FOR A COUNTY.

SO HE'S VERY WELL, UH, I IMAGINE VERY WELL VERSED IN, UH, LAND USE ISSUES LIKE THIS.

UH, LET'S SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE ALSO, UM, YEAH, THE PLAN IS, UH, THAT I WOULD PROPOSE IS, UH, SEND TWO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRANCIS, COUNCIL PRESIDENT LEE, UM, AS THEY WERE IN THE MAJORITY THAT VOTED THIS LAST TIME TO THE THREE TWO DECISION, SEND THEM AS THE ONES NEGOTIATING.

UM, HOWEVER, THEY WON'T HAVE BINDING AUTHORITY TO BIND THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY TWO OF 'EM.

UH, AND THAT WHATEVER AGREEMENT THEY COME TO BE PRESENTED AT A LATER CITY COUNCIL MEETING, UH, FOR THE, FOR THE ENTIRE COUNCIL, UH, FOR A VOTE AND A PUBLIC HEARING TO ALLOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, INDIVIDUALS OR THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD TO, UH, VOICE THEIR OPINION ON ANY, IF, IF THERE'S A MEDIATION IS SUCCESSFUL AND THERE'S SOME SORT OF PROPOSED RESOLUTION SO THEY CAN COMMENT ON THAT.

UM, AND THEN FURTHER THAT BECAUSE, UH, COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, FRANCIS AND LEE WILL HAVE TALKED WITH THE APPLICANT WITHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEING PRESENT, UH, THAT WOULD BE EX PARTE.

SO THEY WOULD NEED TO RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM THAT LATER HEARING.

THAT'S, THAT'S OUR CURRENT PLAN.

I DISCUSS THAT WITH COUNCIL PRESIDENT FRANCIS.

I BELIEVE THAT'S THE WAY WE WANT TO GO.

IS THAT CORRECT? I, I GIVE YOU, I GIVE YOU OTHER OPTIONS, BUT WE MAY TALK ABOUT THAT MORE LATER.

BUT WE'RE, WE'RE GOOD FOR NOW.

THE OTHER, THE OTHER POTENTIAL OPTION IS TO, UH, RECORD OR SOMEHOW SUMMARIZE THE, THE MEDIATION PROCEEDINGS AND PROVIDE THAT TO THE PUBLIC.

DISCLOSE THAT AT THE HEARING, UM, FOR COUNSEL OR HAVE COUNSEL, UH, MEMBERS, FRANCIS AND LEE DISCLOSED THAT THE, THE HEARING, UH, TO CURE THE EX PARTE UM, ISSUE.

AND THEN THERE'S THE OIL CARD WHERE I WASN'T HERE.

SO WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW I FIGURE THAT, NOT RIGHT THIS

[01:10:01]

MINUTE, BUT YEAH.

SO YOU CAN PARTICIPATE TONIGHT AND THEN IF YOU'RE HERE, IF IF MEDIATION PRODUCES A PROPOSED RESOLUTION YEAH, YOU'RE FREE TO, IF YOU'RE THERE FOR THAT NIGHT, FOR THAT VOLUNTARY, YOU'RE FREE AT, AT SOME POINT.

I HAVE A PROCESS QUESTION AS WELL, SO.

IT SAYS IN THE, IN THE ACTION ORDER MEDIATION.

SO DOES THAT MEAN WE'VE ALREADY SPOKEN WITH THE DEVELOPER AND THEN AGREED TO MEDIATION? THEY REQUESTED IT.

SO, SO UNDER ORDINANCES, THEY'RE THE ONES THAT MOVED AND REQUESTED IT.

UM, I'VE ALSO CLEARED TO MAKE SURE THAT MAY 14TH WORKS FOR THEIR SCHEDULE.

WHEN DOES, UM, I'VE ALSO ARRANGED FOR, OR ASKED FOR MANY OF THE CITY STAFF THAT WOULD NORMALLY ATTEND REDEVELOPMENT OF MEETINGS TO BE THERE, BE THERE, UM, SO THEY CAN PROVIDE, UH, GUIDANCE TO, UH, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

SO I JUST KIND OF WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR, I GUESS FOR THE PUBLIC THAT WE CAN'T ORDER THEM TO GO TO MEDIATION.

CORRECT? CORRECT.

THEY REQUESTED IT, AND THIS IS SIMPLY COUNCIL SAYING, WE THINK THAT COUNCIL COUNCIL BELIEVES THAT MEDIATION WOULD BE HELPFUL AND SO THEREFORE IT'S BEING ORDERED BASED ON THEIR REQUEST.

SO THE VOTE TONIGHT WOULD BE TO GO FORWARD WITH MEDIATION, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW PEOPLE VOTED IN THE PAST ON ANY OF THE OTHER ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT.

THE WHAT, WHAT IT IS IS THAT THE QUESTION BEFORE COUNSEL IS, IS MEDIATION, WOULD MEDIATION BE HELPFUL? AND THEN ALSO THE SECOND PART IS TO SELECT A MEDIATOR.

AND I DO HAVE OTHER NAMES, BUT THEY'RE NOT AVAILABLE AS OTHER NAMES FOR MEDIATORS DO NOT AVAILABLE AS SOON.

AND I'D HAVE TO, UH, DO A LOT OF SCHEDULING TO SEE IF IT WOULD WORK.

, IS IT UNUSUAL TO GET, UM, KIND OF A PRE MEDIATION PROPOSAL FROM THE APPLICANT? UH, I DON'T KNOW.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE DONE THIS.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE, BUT IT, IT, IT IS THERE, SO.

AND I THINK IT'S HELPFUL FOR YOU IF YOU, FOR COUNSEL'S TO, TO INFORM COUNSEL'S DECISION AS TO WHETHER MEDIATION WOULD BE HELPFUL.

AGAIN, WE'RE NOT HERE TO DISCUSS THE MERITS.

BUT IT HELPS TO INFORM THAT DECISION.

I JUST WONDER IF YOU HAVE TO RECUSE YOURSELF AND, AND BRANDON IF IT'S WISER TO, IF IT'S ALREADY A MEDIATOR AND JUST LET THE CITY ATTORNEY REPRESENT US.

WHAT, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE , THIS IS TRICKY BECAUSE WE, WE'VE NEVER DONE IT THIS WAY BEFORE, SO WE'RE ALLOWED TO FIGURE OUT, WE'VE DONE MEDIATIONS BEFORE WE ALL VOTED ON IT, SO WE JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT.

BUT, UM, AND THIS ONE'S, THIS ONE'S DIFFERENT.

YOU'VE DONE OTHER MEDIATIONS BEFORE.

THIS ONE'S DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT'S A LAND USE.

I WOULD JUST SAY THAT IF I WAS THE APPLICANT, I WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE EVEN BRANDON BECAUSE THE TRUST WOULD BE BETTER WITH THE PEOPLE WHO WERE WITH THEM ON THAT MOTION.

LIKE JIM, I, I WOULD ACTUALLY, I WOULD SAY IT WAS THE OPPOSITE BECAUSE WE'RE THE ONES THAT VOTED FOR THE MEDIATION IN THE FIRST PLACE IN THE MOTION, BUT THEY HAD TO REQUEST THE MEDIATION.

WE DON'T GET TO RIGHT.

IT WAS OUR SUGGESTION.

WE DON'T GET TO TELL.

I I KNOW THAT.

I KNOW.

SO I JUST THINK, I MEAN, WHEN I SAW THIS, I WONDERED WHO WOULD GO TO THE .

IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THAT'S THE QUESTION IN FRONT OF US.

LIKE THE VOTE IS ONLY ABOUT SAYING YES TO A MEDIATOR.

CORRECT.

AND WE CAN, THIS CAN BE FIGURED OUT LATER.

OR MAYBE YOU CAN HAVE THE MAYOR BE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN'T VOTE GENERALLY UNLESS THERE'S A TIE.

I MEAN, I JUST WONDER IF IT'S GONNA TIE YOUR HANDS AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA LOSE THE VOTE.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? WHETHER IF THE MEDIATION DOESN'T COME OUT THE WAY YOU WANT SOMETHING TO THINK.

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KIND OF SEE THAT SIDE OF THINGS.

I'M JUST SUGGESTING THAT THOSE THINGS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AND YOU GUYS CAN WORK THAT OUT.

I'M NOT GONNA, THE OTHER, I JUST THINK THAT IT MAKES SOME SENSE TO KEEP OUR CITY COUNSELORS OUT OF THE MEDIATION PROCESS.

IF, IF IT MAKES A CORN PROBLEM, IT WON'T, IT WON'T MAKE A CORN PROBLEM.

SO WHAT WERE YOU SAYING ABOUT EX PARTE COMMUNICATION? UH, BECAUSE, BECAUSE AGAIN, BECAUSE WE'RE UNDER LUPA, WHICH MAKES THIS MEDIATION DIFFERENT THAN .

THEN AND THE EX PARTE CALL ISN'T CURED IN SOME MANNER.

THE LOCAL LAND USE PLANNING ACT.

UM, BECAUSE UNDER, UNDER LUPA THE, IT'S CALLED WHAT'S AN EFFECTIVE PERSON.

SO IF YOU'RE A NEIGHBOR AND YOU QUALIFY, THERE'S A CERTAIN LEGAL TEST, IT'S NOT HARD TO MEET.

UM, BUT IF YOU'RE AN INFECTED PERSON, THE CONCERN IS THESE, THOSE ARE THE OTHER PARTY, BUT THE APPLICANT OR THE INFECTED PERSONS OR THE OTHER PARTY, THE CONCERN IS IF WE MEET JUST WITH THE APPLICANT AND WE HAVE EX PARTE CONTACT, UH, THAT'S NOT CURED IN SOME WAY.

THESE ARE EX PARTE CONTACTING, WE'RE JUST TALKING WITH THE, THE APPLICANT, AND THEN A MEDIATION GETS, UH, APPROVED

[01:15:01]

THE THE RISK IS THAT, UH, WE COME TO AN AGREEMENT, APPLICANT'S HAPPY WITH IT, WE GET IT MOVING FORWARD.

AND THEN ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS APPEAL SAYS, MY DUE PROCESS RIGHTS WEREN'T, WEREN'T RESPECTED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FOLLOW THE, THE EX PARTE RULES.

UM, AND SO I I, I'VE BRAINSTORMED AND REACHED OUT WITH OTHER, OR ON OUR LIST SERVED TO OTHER CITY ATTORNEYS HOW TO ADDRESS THIS.

THE BEST SOLUTIONS I CAN FIND ARE IF, IF, IF WE WANT TO, ONE OPTION WOULD JUST BE TO HAVE STAFF.

UM, THE DIFFICULTY WITH THAT IS STAFF'S NOT, WE DON'T HAVE DIRECTION AS OF RIGHT NOW, OR WE'RE VERY DETAILED.

WE HAVE, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A, THE LATEST WRITTEN INSTRUCTION OF WHAT TO DO, BUT IT'S NOT VERY DETAILED, IS WHAT, UH, MAJORITY WANTED.

UH, AS FAR AS THE, THE PUD, THE OTHER OPTION.

BUT IF YOU WANT SEE COUNCIL MEMBERS THERE, THEY'LL HAVE EX PARTE CONTACT.

UM, AND SO EITHER THEY NEED TO RECUSE THEMSELVES.

THAT'S ONE WAY TO GET RID OF THE EX PARTE CONTACT, RECUSE THEMSELVES AT THE ULTIMATE HEARING WHERE AGAIN, IF MEDIATION'S SUCCESSFUL, WHERE IT'S CONSIDERED, UH, OR THE OTHER OPTION IS TO, UH, EITHER RECORD SOME THE MEDIATION PROCEEDINGS, UM, OR SUMMARIZE THEM FAIRLY FOR THE, FOR THE PUBLIC, PROVIDE THAT DISCLOSURE TO THEM.

AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL MIGHT TOLD HERE THAT, UM, PARTE, SO THE RISK IS ON THE, MAYBE A LOSS OF LAWSUIT FROM ONE OF THE RESIDENTS SAYING CORRECT.

SO THE CLEANEST WAY WOULD BE FOR MAYBE BRANDON AND YOU TO MEET WITH THE MAYOR AND BE CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE ACCEPTABLE AND THEN AFTER, OR NOT PARTICIPATE AS AN EX PARTE BECAUSE SHE WON'T VOTE.

BUT SHE WOULD BE, SHE COULD RECUSE HERSELF FROM LEAVING THE MEETING.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

'CAUSE IF THE RISK IS ANOTHER SET OF LAWSUITS THAT STINK FOR EVERYONE.

THE WHOLE IDEA IS THAT TRY TO SETTLE THIS.

UM, GO AHEAD.

TRY.

UM, BECAUSE I THINK I CAN'T COMMENT ON THAT .

I SHOULDN'T.

SO, AND, AND THE ONLY REASON THAT I WAS JUST FOLLOWING THE MAYOR'S DIRECTION AS TO, UH, HAVING TWO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, LINCOLN AND FRANCIS THERE, UM, I SUPPOSE THIS BODY DOES HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SAY WHO THEY WANT TO DESIGNATE AS THEIR, UM, AS THEIR NEGOTIATORS.

FOR ME, IT'S NOT, I TRUST EVERYONE.

I JUST THINK IF IT REDUCES OUR RISK AND MY RISK MANAGEMENT BRAIN THAT MAKES SOME SENSE.

I I'M CONFIDENT.

I, I I RESEARCH AND THERE'S A DISTRICT COURT OPINION THAT AS LONG AS THEY RECUSE THEMSELVES, WE'LL BE FINE.

THAT, THAT, THAT IS THE CLEANEST, UH, RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM THE CON THE HEARING OR FROM THE VOTE AFTER THE HEARING.

UH, ULTIMATE THE HEARING AND THE VOTE.

I MEAN, I, THEY SUPPOSE THEY, THEY PRESENT IT AS THIS IS THE, THE MEDIATION AGREEMENT WE REACHED OR STAFF WOULD PRESENT.

I THINK IT PROBABLY BE BETTER FOR STAFF TO PRESENT IT.

UM, THE OTHER THING IS TO RECORD IT ALL AND WITH VOICE NOTES AND TRANSCRIPTION TECHNOLOGY.

CORRECT.

THAT COULD, THAT'S ONE OPTION.

BE AN OPTION TOO.

THAT I THINK WOULD BE CLEAN.

THEN EVERYONE WOULD HEAR EVERYTHING YOU TALKED ABOUT AND WHAT THEY TALKED ABOUT AND WHAT THE, BUT IN A MEDIATION SCENARIO, YOU DON'T WANT THAT BE KNOWN IN THE MOMENT.

SO AN AI TRANSCRIPT MAY NOT BE SOMETHING THEY WANT.

I DUNNO.

I MEAN, THAT'S INTERESTING.

WELL, I, HOPEFULLY WHAT COMES OUT OF IT IS A WRITTEN AGREEMENT FROM THE MEDIATION THAT CAN BE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL.

AND IF I'M UNDERSTANDING IT RIGHT, AS LONG AS THERE'S A QUORUM AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING, IF TWO OF US STEP ASIDE, THE OTHER FOUR CAN VOTE ON THE OR.

OR EVEN IF, EVEN IF YOU START WITH FIVE, YOU SAID YOU HAVE TO START A MEETING WITH THE QUORUM.

IF PEOPLE ARE RECUSING THEMSELVES, THEN UH, YOU CAN PROCEED EVEN IF YOU ONLY HAVE THREE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AFTER THE RECUSAL.

UM, THE IDEA, THE IDEA BEING IS YOU STARTED WITH A QUORUM, BUT THE LAW WANTS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO RECUSE THEMSELVES WHEN PROPER.

UM, AND IN SOME, IN SOME INSTANCES, THAT WOULD JUST SAY IF YOU REQUIRED A CONTINUING QUO, UM, THAT WOULD MEAN YOU JUST COULDN'T DO BUSINESS FOR A CERTAIN ITEMS. AT LEAST.

WHAT THAT, AT LEAST YOU'RE FULLY COOPERATIVE.

WE NEED A MOTION THEN.

CAN WE DO THAT, JIM? SURE.

YEAH, I WOULD MOVE THAT.

UH, COUNSEL, APPROVE THE ORDER MEDIATION AND SELECT A MEDIATOR FOR WILLOWS PLACE TOWN HOMES.

FIND UNIT DEVELOPMENT SECOND.

DO WE NEED THE NAME, THE MEDIATOR? UH, YEAH.

WE COULD NAME THE MEDIATOR PREFERRED FIRST THOMPSON.

UM, AND KIRK THOMPSON WOULD BE THE, THE, UH, PREFERRED MEDIATOR.

[6. Announcements]

ANNOUNCEMENT PLEASE.

I, I KNEW ABOUT THIS, I SPOKE WITH TURNER EARLIER, BUT ABOUT, UH, JUST BEFORE FIVE O'CLOCK, HE, ON AN EMAIL ABOUT, UH, THE RECENT FAA INSPECTION.

DO YOU WANNA TELL HIM HOW THAT TURNED OUT OR YOU DON'T ME TO, YOU'RE THE GUY THAT GOT, SO ONCE A YEAR, THE FAA COMES OUT AND PROVIDES US THE, UH, UM, ABILITY TO BE INSPECTED.

IT'S NOT ALWAYS FUN.

IT IS DEFINITELY STRESSFUL.

THIS YEAR, WE, WE CAME OUT THAT INSPECTION WITHOUT ANY DISCREPANCIES AT ALL, WHICH IS A TREMENDOUS ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR SURE, THROUGH ANY KIND OF AUDITS.

YOU KIND KNOW HOW THAT FEELS.

SO THANK YOU.
