E. Council Member Donna Benfield Police Department · Romance Theatre Committee · Rexburg Arts
Council · Tabernacle Civic Center · School Board
Council Member Benfield met with the School Board. They received a $440,000 grant to add
solar panels to the vocational center. It is estimated that the solar panels will save $9,000-$12,000 in
energy credits each year. Test scores came back; our School District is 4.4% to 15.2% above State
averages for academic test scores.
Council Member Benfield wanted to recognize the accomplishments of our Police Detectives.
This past week they have caught taggers who have been tagging in related cases for several years. It
will make a huge improvement in our community. It also makes a statement that the community
will not tolerate tagging (Graffiti). The taggers were responsible for the tagging at the Romance
Theatre, as well as the fence by the railroad track. It was a brand new fence that had been hit many
times.
Council Member Benfield also presented committee reports. The Romance Theatre Committee,
the Tabernacle Committee, and the Rexburg Arts Council have all given reports of their
accomplishments for 2010, their goals for 2011, and an update on their budgets. She asked to have
it on the website for the public to see what these committees are accomplishing.
Romance Theatre 2010 Committee Report
2010 was a very exciting eventful year for the Romance Theater Committee. This will be remembered as the
year the project really took off
January through March was the annual Upper Valley Idol competition. This is a very popular event. Due to a generous donation by Roger and Sybill Ferguson, there are cash prizes awarded each year. This year the
event raised in excess of $6,000 which the committee determined should be used to purchase a new sound system.
During the spring, work continued on demolition and construction projects with the help of volunteers from the
community and students from BYU Idaho.
In July, the theater was awarded a grant of $150,000 from Save America’s Treasures. The façade and old marquee was removed to reveal that the original brick was intact.
The work on the interior continued. Under the direction of Pat Huish, the stage was rebuilt along with the
stage entrances. The building was also rewired to accommodate the new curtains and lighting that is anticipated to be installed. Several volunteers began repainting the decorative plaster.
There were a few events held during the remodeling including the Zombie Apocalypse in October and Warren
Miller in November. Advertising was very difficult due to having no marquee and the committee anticipates that these events will be much more successful once the new marquee is up.
3
In December, the theater won a grant of $30,000 from Hampton Inns. This grant was awarded to the Winner of the most votes through Hampton Inns’ “Save A Landmark” contest. There was a nationwide
press release announcing this award to the Romance Theatre.
This project has had many volunteer hours and in kind donations this year. The committee is very grateful to everyone who has helped. The Romance Theatre is a part of Rexburg history and thanks to many hours of
hard work, it will also be a part of the Rexburg’s future.
Tabernacle Committee 2010 Report

1. Romance Theatre bid approvals - Staff
Council Member Benfield asked Finance Officer Horner and City Attorney Zollinger for bid
approvals on the Romance Theatre.
City Attorney Zollinger reported on the bids.
1. Curtains - General Theatrical Supply (GTS) was the low bid for the curtains at $22,594.12. Other bids came from Oasis, at $23,500.00, and Rose Brand, at $26,500.92. The funds have
been appropriated from the Save America’s Treasures grant. The matching money comes from
5
donations and contributions from other entities. Man hours are also being donated by the
Hampton Inn with their grant.
2. Ceiling areas above the stage – 12 moving trusses were originally planned. In order to not go
over the $150,000 grant budget, plans have changed plans to 6 batten trusses. The bids still
reflect the cost of 12 trusses. Display Exhibits’ bid came in at $9,389.95; Quik Stage’s bid came
in at $9,990.80; and American Image’s bid came in at $12,936.00. The prices needed to be
adjusted with only requiring 6 trusses instead of 12. The low bid was still Display Exhibits for
$5,400. This money will also come out of the Save America grant funds.
3. The new marquee had 4 responding bids. YESCO’s bid came in at $77,968.00; AK Sign
Company’s bid came in at $78,287.00; Lytle Sign’s bid came in at $102,118.00; and Blaze Sign’s
bid came in at $102,737.90. AK Sign Company withdrew. YESCO was the low bid. There is a
$15,000 cushion left in the fund. The sign is all electric with power saving features. LED lights
will be used. The structure costs the most to keep the sign the same as the historical sign.
Council Member Egbert asked when the sign could be completed. City Attorney Zollinger said it
would take about 70 days to complete. They drew on the sign companies’ expertise in coming up
with the time frame. They also recommended the power-saving features, which can save up to
$8,000 in power consumption each year. The committee went through a lot of discussion in
choosing a design. Pictures of the sign are on display at the Romance Theatre. The sign is pigeon
proof, discouraging pigeon nests.
Council Member Erickson asked who sponsored the grant. The grant came from the National
Parks – Saving America’s Treasures. The grant was for $150,000, requiring a match in funds. The
actual match of funds and donated man hours was for $151,000. Architectural services were
donated; design services were donated for the stage.
Council Member Benfield moved to accept the three low bids from (1) GTS for $22,594.12; from
(2) Display Exhibits for $5,400.00; and from (3) YESCO for $77,968.00; Council Member Egbert

corporate limits of the City.” – Dave Davis (Madison Fire Department)
Dave Davis gave some background on the resolution. State Homeland Security wanted updated
contact information for local Emergency Response authorities. The 911 Committee decided the Madison Fire Department should be listed as the contact for this area. They are the people who
respond to all HAZMAT emergencies. The City already has a resolution in place for this, but it was last updated in 1991.
Council Member Stout asked how many HAZMAT calls come in each year. They receive about
four per year, but there is a potential for them to come in everyday. Discussion on HAZMAT calls. Council Member Stout asked about the Fire Department being the best qualified in the area. If not
a local jurisdiction; it will fall to the State Police. Local Emergency Response authorities could respond more quickly than the State Police. The County is going to the Fire Department too.
Council Member Stout moved to approve Resolution 2011 – 01 Adopting local emergency
response authority; “Pursuant to Idaho Code, Section 39-7105 (2) (a), the City of Rexburg hereby

Staff Reports:
A. Economic Development: – Scott Johnson
Economic Development Director Johnson reported on the Public Utility Commission’s support
of the Upper Valley area and growing cities. The city has met with Intermountain Gas twice since
the PUC directive. Intermountain Gas does have sufficient gas for their core market of Residential
and Commercial, as mandated by the PUC. They do not have enough for large-volume users or
industrial. They plan to upgrade the local system in 2015. They are looking at different options to
bring a gas supply into the area for new industrial customers.
8
Council Member Erickson asked about the upgrade. Economic Development Director Johnson
said they have done two loops on the pipe line and they are working on a third loop to add capacity
to the pipes that provide gas to the Upper Valley. We are on same pipeline as Idaho Falls, called the
Idaho Falls Lateral. It connects through Pocatello to the main gas line.
Council Member Stout asked about Fiber Optics infrastructure. They are working on a study right
now. The have recently met with an agency that has received federal funding to develop projects.
The city expressed interest in having the agency work with the deficiencies in this area.
B. Public Works: – Keith Davidson
City Engineer Keith Davidson reported there will be a committee meeting next Tuesday with the
City Council representatives for the LID for Pioneer Road and 7th South. Council Member
Erickson, Council Member Egbert and Council Member Stout are on the committee for the LID.
City Engineer Keith Davidson also reported the pressure sewer line that will run along Highway
20 is being designed, as well as the upgrade for south lift station. They are working on running a
new sewer line along 7th South, from 5th West down to the lift station. Wastewater treatment
upgrades to the plant are up and running. They are doing a lot of system tests now that the students
are back and the usage of the wastewater treatment plant is back to normal.
1. Riverside Aquatic Center update – Johnny Watson
Johnny Watson passed out a schedule for current and future projects with key dates they will need
to hit in order to meet substantial completion on May 20th. The projects included pumping,
electrical, waterslide tower, water slides, concrete decking, and paving. He passed out a construction
schedule for the coming months.

May 6 Complete concrete decking
May 10 Complete paving
May 20 Substantial Completion
Currently, the roofers on the west building are working over the storage area and the party room.
The roof over the equipment room is complete and they are working on clearing out the snow and
ice. They are getting ready for installing pumps at the end of the month, so they are working on
pouring equipment pads. Most of the pool supplies have arrived. They have started setting the
9
stainless steel around the leisure pool. They are waiting on Rocky Mountain Power to give them
power so they can get off of the generators. Once the roofs are closed in they can start on the
plumbing and electrical work for the buildings. The west building should be done by March 25th and
the east building will be done by April 20th; that will give them two weeks after painting to hang
fixtures. Once spring weather sets in, they will work on curbing and landscaping. The last thing
they will do is pave so it looks nice for public use. The substantial completion date they are
planning is for May 20th which means the facility will be available for use. There will still be small
things that still need to be done; however, it will be operational after substantial completion. In May
they will begin communicating with the Pool Manager to be prepared for opening when the weather
is warmer. BYU-I interns have done renderings of the project and created a digital 3D design of the
facility. They are at 56% of budget; 25% of that is pool parts. They are right on track.
Council Member Sutherland asked about the traffic with the opening. He was concerned with
protecting the new sod areas from traffic. Johnny Watson said they will have time for the sod to
settle; the hydro-seeded areas on the ball fields will be blocked off.
Council Member Erickson asked if the two new pool operators are still on board. They are
meeting with the Finance Officer on Friday to review the operating plan.
Council President Mann asked how many life guard stations are planned. Johnny Watson will be
planning them. He also asked about transfer of maintenance. Johnny Watson is working right now
with Public Works Director Millar. There is a year warranty period and there will be a considerable
training period.
C. Finance Department: - Richard Horner
Finance Officer Horner reported on the annual audit. The city’s portion is done; they are waiting
on the auditors. It may be available for acceptance in a couple of meetings.
Calendared Bills and Tabled Items:
A. “LAND USE ACTION” – BILLS RECOMMENDED/APPROVED IN A LAND USE
PUBLIC HEARING PROCEDURE: – NONE
B. BILL Introduction:
1. BILL 1062 Hand-Held Wireless Telephone Prohibited Use
City Attorney Zollinger explained it is a process for consideration. City Council asked for a plan in
this area 18 months ago. The State Legislature took up the issue in Boise, and at that time, City
Council took the subject off the table awaiting a response from the State. The State Legislatures did
not act on the issue. This is an attempt to move the proposal forward for consideration. Texting
and cell phones use is under consideration for pedestrians and vehicle operators; two or three
accidents in the past few years may have been avoided if cell phone use were not involved. This is
an opportunity for City Council to see how Twin Falls and Meridian have handled the process in
2010.
Council Member Stout asked if this BILL is more advantageous than cracking down on the State’s
Inattentive Driving statutes.
City Attorney Zollinger gave two examples of texting or cell phone use while driving. One was
observed by a police officer; a driver he was following did not look up for a two-block period. The
driver admittedly said she was looking at a device placed on the dash board. There was no accident,
simply because no car or pedestrian got in the car’s path. Inattentive driving statutes could not
implicate this driver because she did not weave out of the lane or cause an accident. A non-texting
BILL could make that action against the law. The other incident involved a near fatal accident; the
accident victim is in a comma. Pedestrians in cross walks generate a high number of complaints too.
Pedestrians are observed not watching for cars in the path of oncoming cars. If they are looking
down to text or talking on the phone they cannot hear the oncoming cars.
Council Member Egbert said texting is a problem. There are a lot of people crossing 2nd East
outside the crosswalks. Officer Sergeant Ray Hermosillo can direct police officers to watch for this
activity.
10
Council Member Erickson said to set a hearing up for March and take it forward. He wanted to
hear from the community. City Attorney Zollinger asked for feedback on 3 items: (1) Texting only,
(2) Texting and Cell phone use, and (3) Pedestrians in crosswalks. The model the city was going to
bring forward 18 months ago included a ban on texting city-wide, a ban on any electronic devices by
pedestrians in crosswalks within the PEZ zone (immediately surrounding campus) and on Main
Street.
Council Member Erickson asked if the proposal takes in all public crosswalks. The Traffic &
Safety Committee felt it was necessary to concentrate the efforts in the PEZ and high-traffic zones.
Council Member Sutherland agrees with considering a ban on texting; he is not sure how to
enforce cell phones when so many cars have darkened windows.
Council Member Stout asked to include crosswalks near school zones and signage in the
discussion.
There was discussion on signage and informing the public. Signs at the city accesses would be
required as a minimum. Eleven signs would cover every entry into the city. If zones are considered,
the zones would need to be signed.
There was discussion on city personnel using cell phones in traffic.
C. First Reading: Those items which are being introduced for first reading. – NONE
D. Second Reading: Those items which have been first read. – NONE
E. Third Reading: Those items which have been second read. – NONE
Tabled Items: Those items which have been the subject of an affirmative vote to a motion to table:
- NONE
Mayor’s Report:
Council President Mann asked for goals and concerns from the City Council:
Council Member Stout asked to consider (1) Economic Development (Gas and Power), making
sure we are planning ahead for the needs of the city, and (2) managing the new pool to make a
profit.
Council Member Benfield asked (1) to monitor the Aquatic Park for timely completion and well-
managed finances, (2) completion and follow-through with wastewater plant construction, (3) do as
much as possible for city streets and roads, (4) continue to improve finances information on the
website for budgeting and reporting.
Council Member Sutherland asked to focus on (1) Ansulary Well (judication is almost complete),
(2) streets, (3) the Aquatic Center and surrounding area – seed with as much green as possible to
enhance the area.
Council Member Erickson is concerned with (1) completion of projects (in the current calendar
year), (2) finances for the city – the city was able to operate with six less employees than a year ago
by consolidation. There was a $50,000 savings in the Mayor’s Budget. The city needs to continue to
monitor spending. Finance Officer Horner said the finances are slightly better this coming year.
The Teton Lakes Golf Course needs to meet their budget and pay as they go. We need to watch
income verses expenditures.
Council Member Egbert supported all of the goals mentioned. He wants to work on safety as a
number one priority with Police, lighting, crosswalks, and other projects as mentioned. Aquatic
Center completion is a main goal.
Council Member Erickson asked to let the city know of the accomplishments for 2010. Some
accomplishments include 12th West, Pioneer Road, street light at 2nd East by the Temple, Aquatic
Center, and wastewater treatment plant. This stuff doesn’t just happen; it comes from hard work
and great management.
11
Council President Mann was concerned with (1) pedestrian traffic safety, (2) left hand turn lane
lights on Main Street, (3) using the money in the lighting fund to work on lighting enhancement, and
(4) work as a City Council on “revenue sharing” with state money to keep money coming from the
state.
Council Member Stout said to monitor proposed changes with Urban Renewal discussion at the
state legislature too.
Council President Mann mentioned the AIC Conference for elected officials is in Boise next week
on the 27th. He also reminded the City Council members about the drive around on May 18th.
Consent Calendar: The consent calendar includes items which require formal City Council
action, however they are typically routine or not of great controversy. Individual Council
members may ask that any specific item be removed from the consent calendar for discussion in
greater detail. Explanatory information is included in the City Council’s agenda packet regarding
these items.
