City Council Meeting
June 18, 2008

Public Works Director John Millar explained Jeremy’s role in the city’s waste water treatment
plant. Jeremy administers and maintains the City’s Waste Water Collection System’s for over 71
miles of pressure lines and pump stations. He makes sure the system is in good condition and
running well. He has set up a program to televise (every two years) all of the piping on the system to
ensure proper maintenance and workability (clean lines). Jeremy has extensive experience in waste
water collection and he is licensed as a waste water treatment plant operator. The city is very
fortunate to have Jeremy as a city employee.
Public Comment: on issues not scheduled on the agenda (limit 3 minutes)
Brad Archibald at 843 N. 5th West north of the city’s waste water treatment plant explained how
atrocious the smell has been the last two years. In the 90 degree weather, the smell is causing them
to remain in their homes. When the wind is right, the smell is unbearable. If you wanted to sell your
property, you would have to wait for the right day when the smell in not present to have anyone out
to see the property. You can’t have cookouts or invite people over because you don’t know when
the smell is going to hit. You can’t store nine months worth of waste stacked outside and stir it with
a machine without have the smell cover the whole valley. The beds at the plant are not working.
They are locked in their own homes and they can’t open their windows. He knows the new
equipment is doing a good job; however, Mr. Archibald believes the waste should be hauled off
when it leaves the waste treatment plant. The EPA has funding to help with these types of
problems. Every time the equipment stirs the beds it causes a smell. They would like to see
something done so the issue can be resolved. They brought the neighborhood to the meeting to
demonstrate how the smell is impacting the neighborhood. They want to help by doing some leg
work or whatever to resolve the issue. Mr. Archibald encouraged the city to talk to other
communities to get ideas to resolve the issue. They appreciate the city giving them audience to
discuss their concerns. He encouraged the city to get trucks and make land available to take care of
the waste. There has not been a good day for drying the waste this spring up until last week. Mayor
Larsen appreciated the comments about the Waste Water Treatment Plant and he explained the
recent upgrade to the plant of $1,000,000 for processing the waste. The staff at the Waste Water
Treatment Plant and the City Council realizes it has been a terrible spring to deal with the waste.
Mayor Larsen asked Public Works Director Millar to discuss the steps the city has taken to mitigate
the problem including the $1,000,000 belt system upgrade to the plant and land the city has
purchased to dispose of the waste by tilling it into the soil.
Public Works Director Millar acknowledged it does stink. There is no place to go at this point
except to take care of the problem. The plant was built approximately 14 years ago with an
appreciably smaller load than the current loading of the plant. Increased population and additional
capacity added to industry has contributed to the growth. Several years ago, the city began looking at
ways to increase capacity due to the expected growth to better treat the waste water. The city has
always met the requirements of the EPA permit; however, dealing with the solids has been a
challenge. The last year and a half, equipment was installed at the waste water treatment plant to
reduce the organic compound. During this period of time the plant was not operating efficiently all
of the time; therefore, solids went to the drying beds because there was not another alternative while
the plant was under renovation. One rule in waste water is “no matter what, it is coming down the
pipe, so, you have to handle it no matter what the situation”. The city ended up this spring with a
3
bad situation with partially treated solids going to the drying beds. The new belt system at the plant
will correct the problem and provide the correct treatment to the solids before the solids go to the
drying beds. To add to the problem, the weather (wet) this spring did not allow conditions for
proper drying of the solids in the drying beds. The immediate requirement is to get the solids moved
off the beds as soon as possible. Since the weather warmed up last week the city has hired additional
trucks to haul the solids out of the beds. They have hauled 130 loads off site to land near the county
landfill this week. The city trucks can’t haul a liquid solution; therefore, the city has hired side dump
trucks running full time this week to haul solids off by next week. The new system at the plant
should never put the city in this situation again. The city will do what is necessary to keep the
problem at bay. Public Works Director Millar does not want to be in this position again.
Council Member Mann asked if the plant could handle all of the new growth. Public Works
Director Millar said a “facilities planning study” expert is concluding a review of the plant and the
city is waiting for his report. Preliminary indications are additional capacity will need to be
constructed at the plant. This expansion will include head works where initial screening and grit
work is done, oxidation ditches, solids portion of the plant, etc. as the population continues to grow.
There is adequate land at the plant to grow the facility. Options to deal with waste water solids
include lagoons where the waste is left for up to 10 years; drying beds and incineration of the sludge;
based on economics. Cities across the country use one of these methods. Burley, Idaho is doing a
system like Rexburg’s; however, they are taking it one step further to drying the sludge inside a
building to a near powder state before hauling it to a landfill. The powder product is a very good
fertilizer at this point. Burley is not marketing it for fertilizer at this point. Energy costs are on the
rise making this drying process very expensive; raising operating and capital costs.
George Archibald asked what the plans are for the solids once the city gets them cleaned up this
time. He asked if the city would keep the solids hauled off the property.
Public Works Director Millar explained the city will try to use the drying beds during the summer
if they can control the odor. If the odor persists, the city will not keep the sludge at the drying beds.
George Archibald indicated the health department has rules and procedures for a home’s septic
system for approval. The sewage can’t be run out on the lawn to dry in the county. It has to be
sealed up so it will not stink.
Public Works Director Millar explained the problem came from the solids being put in the drying
beds before they had adequate treatment. The new system will properly treat the sludge to minimize
the odor before the solids are put in the drying beds. The city will try a load or two in the drying
beds with the new process to see if the treatment has worked to restrict the odor. If the odor is
present, the city will look at a different process to deal with the solids. Public Works Director Millar
indicated he did not want to deal with this issue again. The city just expended $1.2 million dollars to
deal with this issue because the city did not have a good way to deal with the solids. If you take the
solids to the final degree, you are left with only cell structures; that is the way septic systems are
handled. The waste is taken out and spread on a field. The City does not want to have odor
problems, so if the solids are not getting adequate treatment to prevent the odor, Public Works
Director Millar believed the City Council would support a process to do the necessary steps to avoid
future meetings of this nature.

George Archibald did not believe the waste should be left on site to dry. He appreciated the city’s
work on the problem. He hoped the city would take care of the problem. Public Works Director
Millar said the neighbors should see a difference by the end of next week. He said when calls come
in to the city about the odor; the waste water treatment facility staff gets notified of the odor and
because they are working in the plant they understand the issue and they are aware of the odor.
They may respond with “Gee, we hadn’t noticed that”. The smell could be more intense during the
day when the staff is there mixing the waste to allow faster drying. The neighbors were invited to
call the waste water treatment plant with any complaints at 359-3035. Idaho Falls hauls their waste
wet; however, with the cost of fuel, their wet procedures may change due to those costs. In the
winter, Rexburg’s waste is thickened from one percent solids to eighteen percent solids before the
waste is taken to the drying beds. This last winter with the change over process, some of the waste
went to the drying beds without being thickened.
Council Member Schwendiman asked at what point waste can be hauled. He asked why the waste
isn’t dried in the drying beds all the time. Public Works Director Millar explained it usually is, but
this spring it has been so rainy and cold, the waste doesn’t dry. Typically once spring thaw comes
the waste is dried and hauled within a matter of two to three weeks. This year the spring thaw went
on for three months. It only takes a few days to dry before it can be hauled, but they have to have
good weather for it to dry enough to be hauled.
A resident explained in Preston, Idaho there is a Zolite mine which is a rock that is very porous and
is used commercially in many stock yards to absorb moisture and odor. It is a readily available
product that isn’t that far away. Public Works Director Millar said he has not heard of this being
used in the wastewater industry. He will look into this as a possibility. He mentioned that five semi
truck loads of lime were applied to the waste recently without noticeable improvement.
Mayor Larsen thanked these citizens for bringing this to the attention of the City Council. He said
he hopes they will see a noticeable improvement in the next week.
Council Member Woodland asked if farm or dairy trucks are available to haul the waste wet.
Public Works Director Millar said they have looked into this and all trucks are committed. Council
Member Woodland asked if the City needs to buy a truck. Public Works Director Millar said one
truck won’t be adequate. They have already bought another truck that will haul wetter waste. All the
waste that is able to be hauled has already been hauled.
A resident asked why the waste can’t be hauled in the winter when the waste is frozen. Public Works
Director Millar explained the EPA requires waste to be tilled into the ground within three days of
being hauled. When the ground is frozen it is impossible to do this.
Mayor Larsen asked about the plan for next winter. Public Works Director Millar explained they
are still working on this. They want a fool proof plan so this does not happen again. He explained
he may be coming to the City Council before winter requesting an additional capital expenditure to
help correct the problem. Public Works Director Millar will continue looking into different
possibilities so this does not happen again in the future.

B. Discuss overnight parking on Carlson Avenue – FERRIN SQUARE residents on College
Avenue
Nathan Luehn at 30 College Ave. #302 explained the problem with overnight parking on Carlson
Avenue. About 16 tenants of the College Avenue apartments got parking tickets the weekend of
May 30, 2008. He gave a short PowerPoint presentation with pictures to show that there are no “no
overnight parking” signs in the area tickets were issued. He explained he spoke with Sgt. Larsen who
told him the positioning of the signs do not merit parking tickets. Nathan proposed issuing parking
permits for certain areas. Currently they have no parking within a two block radius of the apartment.
Julie Ferrin 500 Edith Circle is the owner of these apartments. She explained she discussed these
parking issues with the City Council about three months ago.
Council Member Schwendiman asked where they parked during the day. Mayor Larsen explained
the INL buses now park at the golf course away from the parking lot by the theatres.
Mayor Larsen suggested having 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. two hour parking and allowing parking the
rest of the evening. The tenants explained two hour parking would not work for cars parked for the
day. They would constantly have to go move their cars throughout the day. Mayor Larsen said the
problem with downtown parking is that it’s not consistent. He suggested having all the lots the same
and allowing overnight parking from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M.
David Nybo explained this winter three big crates were put in the parking lot by the movie theatres
telling those with cars parked in this lot what days to have cars moved and what time so they could
clean the lot. This worked out very nicely for everyone who had cars parked in this lot.
Council Member Schwendiman asked for some time to review the problem. He wants to be
cooperative, but he explained the city is not responsible to provide parking for private tenants. Julie
Ferrin said she understands this, but she would like the city to work with them to come to a solution
to the problem. Council Member Schwendiman agreed they should work together.
The City Council discussed the parking situation on Main Street. Mayor Larsen said a decision
cannot be made tonight on what to do with parking. They need to find a long term solution to the
problem. He suggested dismissing the tickets that were issued during the weekend of May 30, 2008.
Council Member Schwendiman moved to refund and dismiss the parking tickets that were issued
on Carlson Ave. the weekend of May 30, 2008. Council Member Woodland seconded the motion.
All voted aye, none opposed. The motion carried.
Mayor Larsen was hopeful of finding a long term solution by working with Julie Ferrin and city
staff.
Public Works Director John Millar mentioned the winter months would be a worse problem due
to snow removal. He said whatever the solution; it needs to be something that will work year round.

B. Trails of Madison County discussion on bike lanes – Keland Draney
Keland Draney asked to paint more bike lanes on City Streets. Joseph West explained three
different proposals.
1. Bike lanes on 2nd North from 5th West to Madison Avenue
2. Bike lanes on 2nd East from 2nd North to 7th South
3. Strip bike lanes on 2nd South from 5th West to Millhollow Road
4. Strip bike lanes on 5th West from Nature Park to 7th South
5. Strip bike lanes on 2nd East from N. Yellowstone Hwy by Horkleys’ to 1st South
Joseph West asked to have bike lanes on both sides of the street on existing bike lanes.
Mayor Larsen mentioned the intersection on the SW corner of Porter Park has been requested to
have a four-way stop.
The City Council discussed stripping bike lanes on both sides of the street.
Engineer Keith Davidson explained they will not restripe the bike lanes on 2nd North until it has
been chip sealed.
Mayor Larsen said the City Council could approve these bike lanes with the condition that it meets
staff approval.
Council Member Stevens moved to accept proposal from the Trails Committee conditioned on
city staff/engineers approval. Council Member Woodland seconded the motion. All voted aye,
none opposed. The motion carried.
C. Resolution 2008 – 13 Intent to create Local Improvement District (LID) 39
(Includes properties held over from LID 35)
Deputy Finance Officer Matt Nielson explained Resolution 2008-13 is the intent to create LID
39. He handed out a list of all properties that would be included on LID 39. The remains of LID 35
are being transferred to a new LID so LID 35 can be closed. Some additional properties are also
being added. These properties include those who requested to be on the LID and signed waivers.
The nursing home on 7th South is being proposed to be a part of the 7th South project. They have
not yet been notified. The Armory can’t be part of the LID due to it being a government facility.
This LID would include curb, gutter, street and sidewalk.
Council Member Stevens asked about Maple Drive. Deputy Finance Officer Nielson will check
into these properties on Maple Drive and delete them as necessary.
Mayor Larsen asked if any of these property owners that will be on LID 39 will be surprised.
Deputy Finance Officer Nielson said they should all be aware of the LID. He explained about ten of
these properties have changed hands since LID 35 was approved, however this notice of a “possible
8
future debt” should have been disclosed by the title companies. DJ Barney and Roger Harris are
both going to be on LID 39 and have both signed waivers.
Mayor Larsen explained the process now is to pass Resolution 2008-13 and then have a public
hearing. The owners who will be involved with LID 39 will get notified by letter. He asked that the
nursing home on 7th South be notified of LID 39 before letters are sent out.
Deputy Finance Officer Nielson said they would like to have the public hearing by July 16, 2008.
He explained LID 37 is still outstanding and they would like to bid LID 37 and LID 39 together to
get a better rate.
Council Member Mann moved to approve Resolution 2008-13 to create LID 39. Council Member
Schwendiman seconded the motion. Discussion: Council Member Woodland said it is important to
be patient with these property owners on the LID. All voted aye, none opposed. The motion
carried.
D. Discuss changing city building permit fees formula to align city’s formula to the state’s
formula (Building Department – Val Christensen)
Community Affairs Director Val Christensen presented the proposal to align the city’s building
permit fees formula to the state’s formula to a square foot calculation. A larger home gets the same
electrical permit charge as a small home under the current city formula. If the formula is done by
square footage, it will be more equitable to small homes. Council Member Stevens reviewed the
building permit fee which is already based on the size of the home. He would like the plumbing
permit to remain a calculation based on per plumbing unit.
Community Affairs Director Val Christensen explained he is not asking to raise fees, he is asking
to use the fee method the state is now using.
The City Council discussed the proposed fee method.
Mayor Larsen reviewed the request. The direction from the City Council is to calculate electrical
and mechanical fees based on square footage as the state calculates them now, however, keep the
plumbing calculation the same which is based on plumbing fixtures per unit.
Rachel Horottsen, a BYU-I student representing the SRC introduced herself to the City Council.
She explained there are now recycling bins on campus. She is not sure what company is doing the
recycling.
E. Fireworks Stand permits – Staff
City Clerk Blair Kay explained there is a list of companies who have requested and paid for a
fireworks stand. By ordinance, this list must be approved by the City Council. Approved fireworks
can be sold in the city limits from June 26 to July 26 each year.
Council Member Stevens asked about proof of insurance. Each company that has a fireworks
stand is required to show proof of insurance. We have a copy of their insurance policy for each
company on the list.
9
Council Member Mann asked if we are charging enough to cover costs for these fireworks stands.
They are charged a $20 business registration fee along with a $50 inspection fee per stand.

Staff Reports:
Public Works: John Millar
1. Report on Project
Public Works Director John Millar discussed the Sunrise Drive project. This runs between 2nd
East and University property. The road has a steep three to four foot drop which is very dangerous.
They have spoken with all of the property owners to discuss options of putting in a sidewalk and a
retaining wall. This road is shown as a collector road on the long term transportation plan which
means at some point in the future this will be a heavily traveled road. To separate the subdivision
from this traffic, they would like to put up a sound barrier/retaining wall.
Public Works Director John Millar explained the meeting with the property owners indicated
these property owners feel the city should be responsible for the retaining wall. They are fine with
picking up the cost for the sidewalk. The city has paid for curb, gutter and all street costs. He asked
the City Council if they want to be responsible for this sound barrier/retaining wall. It will cost
$41,000 to install the wall. This can be paid for with impact fees. It costs $12 per foot for
installation.
Council Member Mann said he worries about setting precedence. Council Member Stevens
explained this doesn’t happen with newer projects because of the way development is now handled.
These are old problems that now have to be fixed. Council Member Mann agreed something should
be done; he just wants to make sure they are not setting precedence.
The City Council discussed this project.
Mayor Larsen said the consensus from the City Council is to have Public Works Director John
Millar move forward with this project. No formal motion is needed yet because no firm bids have
been given.
10
Public Works Director Millar said other than the Sunrise project; they have been busy working
with the new Stake Center on the 7th South project.
Mayor Larsen explained Council Member Erickson asked him to go over a list of projects with
Public Works Director Millar:
1. Triangle on Millhollow Road, Bill Blair and the city street crew will do this project.
2. Hidden Valley Park; this is a project for the parks department. They have killed the weeds,
moved some trees, etc. This project will have curb, soft fall and sod put around playground
equipment and should be complete by the end of June.
3. The area around Dr. Crouch’s residence, this is the street department’s next project.
4. 7th South chip seal that did not hold. Public Works Director Millar explained he has gotten
no answer from HK Construction. They may have to take this issue to the next level because
they have not gotten what was paid for.
5. 5th West and 7th South landscaping by Hyde Park. Public Works Director Millar said the
sidewalk has been put in but the landscaping is not yet finished. This is the property owner’s
responsibility. He will get Compliance Officer Natalie Powell to look into this.
6. Animal Shelter; the sod is planned to be put in this Friday and then the project will be
complete.
7. Fence at Evergreen Park has three gaps. Public Works Director Millar will look into this.
They are finishing the fence on the north side. The head gate is still being used. It cannot be
taken out because it irrigates property still.
8. Curb and gutter at Crestview; the properties still needing curb and gutter are #’s 919, 925
and 935 Crestview.
Council Member Mann said he doesn’t want the City Council to get involved. This should be
decided by the engineering department. Mayor Larsen suggested putting them on an LID. Engineer
Keith Davidson suggested making them a part of LID 39 to get financing, etc. The city has not
committed anything but asphalt in this area.
Council Member Schwendiman asked about liens being put on properties that are on an LID.
City Attorney Zollinger explained the LID notice indicates a possible future debt on a property and
should be disclosed as “Notice of a possible coming debt” on the property. It is not a “lien” though
it is treated very similarly.
The City Council along with City Attorney Zollinger discussed the LID process.
Council Member Schwendiman would like to provide additional information to people on what
exactly is going to show on their property so there are not any questions.
Finance Department: Deputy Finance Officer Nielson
