Regular Agenda. Public Works Sewer Service Agreement (Outside City Limits) for the Existing Building Located at 1970 N Holmes Avenue: For consideration is a proposed Sewer Service Agreement between the City and Bruce and Jeanne Hendrix, the owners of the building located at 1970 N. Holmes Avenue. The septic system for this building has failed and the owners are requesting access to city sewer services. The property has a city water service agreement that was approved in 1980 and the city is currently evaluating annexation of properties in this area. If approved, this agreement would allow sewer service to the existing building located at this address, even though it is currently outside city limits. RECOMMENDED ACTION: To approve the Sewer Service Agreement with Bruce and Jeanne Hendrix, and give authorization for the Mayor to execute the necessary documents (or take other action deemed appropriate).
Idaho Falls Power Approval of the Joint Use Module Plant (JUMP) Lay-Off Power Sales Agreement: It is the recommendation of Idaho Falls Power (IFP) to accept and approve the Resolution authorizing and approving an increase in IFP's Entitlement Share under the Carbon Free Power Project Power Sales Contract for the Lay-Off Power Sales Agreement Associated with Joint Use Module Plant Operations within the Carbon Free Power Project. The increase of Entitlement Share for JUMP Lay-off is for up to 4,815 kW of capacity. RECOMMENDED ACTION: To approve the Resolution authorizing and approving increase in IFP's Entitlement Share associated with the Joint Use Modular Plant, and give authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the necessary documents (or take other action deemed appropriate).
Police Department Proposed additions to Police Personnel Manual (PPM): For consideration is an addition to the PPM to include certificate pay for officers and dispatchers with advanced POST certificates, language pay, and uniform allowance for officers who are not issued uniforms. RECOMMENDED ACTION: To approve the Resolution amending the Police Personnel Manual, and give authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the necessary documents (or take other action deemed appropriate).
Community Development Services Corrected Quitclaim Deed: For consideration is a request to approve a corrected quitclaim deed. In 2003, the City vacated certain rights-of-way in a development that was going to be known as The Narrows. The property is just south of the North Wind Environmental building on Higham Street. When the deed was prepared to convey the vacated areas, the recipients included individuals who did not have claim to the land. As the current owners and families work towards marketing the property, they discovered that this error has created a clouded title. They have taken the initiative to write a corrected deed which, when recorded, will resolve the title issues. RECOMMENDED ACTION: To approve the corrected Quitclaim Deed and give authorization for the Mayor to execute the necessary documents (or take other action deemed appropriate).
2) Public Hearing – Appeal of the Preliminary Plat and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for Fairway Estates: For consideration is an appeal of the Preliminary Plat and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for Fairway Estates. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing for this item at its June 4, 2019 meeting and approved the preliminary plat unanimously with the condition that a bridge over the eastern canal to Lewisville Highway be constructed prior to the approval of the final plat for R2 and R3A zoned areas. The City’s Subdivision Ordinance Section 10-1-8.B.6 provides for any aggrieved person to appeal to the Council the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding a preliminary plat. The Community Development Services Department received a timely appeal application of the Planning and Zoning Commission’s approval of the Preliminary Plat. Specific concerns identified include traffic volumes and congestion on Pevero Drive and emergency response capabilities in this area. The appeal application states that the Fairway Estates plat should not have been approved without requiring the developer to first build a bridge and road that connects this development area to the adjacent Lewisville Highway RECOMMENDED ACTIONS (in sequential order): a. To approve the Preliminary Plat for Fairway Estates with a condition that the bridge over the eastern canal to the Lewisville Highway be constructed prior to the approval of a final plat for the R2 and R3A zoned areas. b. To approve the Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for the Preliminary Plat of Fairway Estates. 6. Announcements and Adjournment.
