Planning and Building Division: 1. Final Plat and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards - St. Clair Estates Addition, Division No. 13, 4th Amended: This is the Final Plat and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for St. Clair Estates Addition, Division No. 13, 4th Amended.

This is an Ordinance amending Title 4, Chapter 7 of the Idaho Falls City Code. The Ordinance revises the renewal requirement for expired contractor licenses. Currently, if a license expires, the applicant must re-take the licensing exam which is based on current Building Code requirements. The proposed change will allow relicensing without taking the exam if the applicant can show all continuing education requirements have been completed and the City has not adopted a new edition of the Building Code.
City Attorney Division: 1. Ordinance Re-Arranging Idaho Falls City Code Title 4: The Idaho Falls City Code currently requires City licensing of gas fitters (IFCC Title 4, Chapter 9) and heating and cooling installers (IFCC Title 4, Chapter 10) even though the State preempted such City licensing. The City also requires photographers running a photography business to be licensed (IFCC Title 4, Chapter 18). The attached ordinance rescinds Chapter 9, 10, and 18 of Title 4 because such, in the opinion of staff, are no longer allowed (in the case of gas fitters and heating and cooling installers), or no longer effective or needed (in the case of photography businesses). Additionally, because these proposed rescissions, and previous rescissions in Title 4, have left gaps in the Chapters contained therein, the draft rearranges Title 4 to close those gaps by renumbering several Chapters. The City Attorney recommends consideration and adoption of the draft ordinance. ACTION: To approve the Ordinance under the suspension of the rules requiring three complete and separate readings and that it be read by title and published by summary (or consider the Ordinance on the first reading and that it be read by title, or reject the ordinance
Mayor and Council considered a draft Ordinance that changed a number of provisions in the City's Dog Control Ordinance (IFCC Title 5, Chapter 6). After receiving citizen input, the draft was taken off of the agenda schedule to be reconsidered by Councilmembers and staff. Those considerations included kennel licensing, a possible change to limitations to the number of dogs and cats, and a possible appeal procedure relative to Animal Control. Because the City Attorney's Office is motivated to promote a change to the City's Dog Control Ordinance that brings it into compliance with current state and federal regulation for service animals, and because it appears that there is little or no opposition to the minor changes proposed in December, the proposal has been re-drafted. The City Attorney recommends adoption of the re-drafted version of the Ordinance at this time. Further recommended changes will be brought forth as soon as practicable. ACTION: To approve the Ordinance under the suspension of the rules requiring three complete and separate readings and that it be read by title and published by summary (or consider the Ordinance on the first reading and that it be read by title, or reject the ordinance
