Box 2824 Boise, Wales 83701 -2824 Phone: 208.381 -0294 Rexburg City Council January 16, 2002 Idaho Ground Water Appropriators Lynn Tominaga "What is IGWA "? Idaho Ground Water Appropriators was formed in 1994 to represents irrigation pumpers and industries whom rely on groundwater. There are presently 6 ground water districts representing approximately 750,000 acres of irrigated ground water, Busch Ag, United Water, Jerome Cheese, the city of American Falls, city of Jerome, and the city of Blackfoot. Idaho Ground Water Appropriators represents groundwater interests in the Idaho Legislature, the courts, and Idaho Department of Water Resources. Why is this important to Rexburg City Council? ❖ We must achieve a fair, equitable administration of water quantity and quality, and a combined effort by irrigators, industry, and municipalities who must work together to impact ground water policy in Idaho. ❖ We need to raise public awareness and importance of groundwater usage and its impacts to rural communities. 4• We will show economic implications of water curtailment and its impacts to the state of Idaho. As executive director, I hope IGWA envisions an organization where we focus on common issues that affects all its members. This is why I am asking you to join today. Here are some of the issues I believe we have in common and need to work together. a. Conjunctive Management Rules b. Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer Modeling c. Ground Water Management Areas d. Formation of Water Districts (Ground water users) e. Aquifer Recharge f. Mitigation Plans g. Water Quality and IDEQ h. Federal and Tribal Claims • Page 2 January 15, 2002 We acknowledge that there might be differences, that while commonalities exist, there are also divisions. I hope that by working together we can avoid duplication, reduce expense, share cost on common projects, and coordinate resources to those DIRECTLY Affected. If irrigators, municipalities, and industry work together we can create and develop stronger leadership, broadened our perspective, improved allocation of resources (time, money, information, strategy), and heightened impact and role on fair, equitable management groundwater policy. I am addressing you today as the executive director of the Idaho Ground Water Appropriators. We are asking you to consider joining our organization so that together we may strengthen our efforts to achieve fair and equitable water quality and water quantity policy in this state. Idaho Ground Water Appropriators, Inc. organized in 1994 to represent ground water interests in the Idaho Legislature, in the courts, and before Idaho Department of Water Resources and Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. It represents six ground water districts and 750,000 acres of highly productive farmland. Other members include industries like Busch Agricultural Resources, Inc. and United Water Idaho Inc., Jerome Cheese, city of American Falls, city of Blackfoot, and city of Jerome. IGWA is established as a leading voice for tlae many common interests of ground water users. We are working to expand our membership so that we may take an even more active role in assuring that these diverse interests have a strong voice in achieving a fair and equitable administration of both water quality and water quantity policies. To continue meeting our goals, we, as irrigators, industries and municipalities, must work together. One of our primary tasks will be communicating to the public and policy makers the importance of ground water in this state. What would Idaho's economy look like if 750,000 to 1,000,000 acres of land were taken out of production on the Eastern Snake Plain aquifer because of the federal water right claims or water managemen? We must raise public awareness about how important ground water is to the tax and property base in this state. We must raise public awareness as to the implications of water usage curtailment. As executive director of IGWA, I envision an organization where we focus on the common issues affecting all ground water users. Some of those issues include: Conjunctive Management Rules, Water Management Rules, Water Districts (ground water users), the Eastern Snake River Plain Aquifer, aquifer recharge, water quality and IDEA, and federal and tribal claims. We acknowledge that at times our members may find themselves on the opposite side of issues due to the specific needs or purposes of individual members; however, l believe there is much to be gained in focusing on our common ground. Working together as a unified voice, we can avoid costly duplication of effort and resources. We can broaden our impact on the issues we share. We can coordinate our efforts and improve the allocation of our resources (time, money, information and strategy) so that we have a stronger leadership role, a broadened perspective, and heightened visibility in achieving fair and equitable ground water policy in this state.

We have approximately 30 people who have committed to join with us on this trip. This has been quite a major undertaking to slate and I thank all who have assisted in any way to encourage, coordinate and promote our project. I would like to forward to you our projected itinerary and let you know we remain flexible and open to some changes you might suggest. First we do want this to be a rewarding and memorial experience and we look forward to having some fun together as well. How long has it been since you have taken a bus trip with colleagues and associates? Lets take the opportunity to relax and enjoy each other's company as we become better acquainted and share thoughts, ideas and discussion together. We will be traveling with Trailways on a new 58 passenger bus, providing some additional leg room and more window seats. The bus is equipped with TV, VCR, Cassette, (no CD), PA System, Restrooms and will have two ice filled coolers. The day will need to be very closely coordinated to accomplish our desired goals and meet the schedules. We will be leaving very early and your consideration in being prompt is necessary and much appreciated in advance. Suggested dress would be, "corporate casual," meaning we want to be quite comfortable but will be representing the interests of our city, our businesses and BYU -I. We plan on having juices, bagels, donuts, etc. provided to begin our trip, with the remainder of the meals and snacks provided by each of us. If you want to bring treats to share with others that would of course be most appropriate. Discussion Groups City of Orem Mitch Neibaur - Discussion Leader Jack Bowman Kimber Ricks Steve Oakey Blair Lyon Jill Anderson Kurt Hibbert Eric Erickson John Watson Shauna Decker City of Provo Jon Weber - Discussion Leader Donna Benfield Richard Horner Amber Martin Brad Bishoff Heather Weber Rich Ballou Blair Rigby Glenn Walker Glen Muir Glen Pond Bill Blair Don Sparhawk Honorable Hosts; We again would express our most profound and sincere gratitude to each of you for investing the time to meet with us and share some of the experiences you have encountered along the same paths we are currently undertaking. Your council and recommendations are very important to us in determining direction and hopefully avoiding some experiences you may have had along your journey. Again we have no thoughts of Rexburg growing to the size of your city and community but in many respects and to a lesser degree we would expect to experience same of the same challenges you have encountered. If you would then help us by adjusting your experiences by our population of approximately 18,000, which includes a student population of approximately 7,500. Our student population is expected to increase to approximately 13,000 students'within the next five years. Rexburg is a very rural community and is the reason many of us choose to live and raise our families here. We greatly value our quality of life which is a much slower pace, a colder climate which keeps our population vibrant and of lower numbers, we are conservative by nature and most families try to exist on one income. Our economy is quite weak and we do not enjoy many of the amenities and opportunities of larger population centers, we recognize this as a symptom of our choice. We would however like our cake and eat it too! ! ! Some questions and areas we would ask your discussion of are as follows: 1. Retaining retail downtown is becoming difficult and fading fast. 2. Parking is a constant problem. 3. Have you encouraged student housing in your downtown areas. 4. What zoning plans have you made considering your student population. 5. What are your current parking requirements for housing. 6. What are your current parking requirements for existing businesses. 7. What are your current parking requirements for new businesses. 8. How have you addressed infrastructure requirements with new development and developers. 9. What steps have you taken to assist retail downtown. 10. What amenities do you consider vital to a downtown. 11. What has been your experience with recreation centers. 12. What funding mechanisms have you used and which most effectively. 13. What relationship have you established and maintained with your two Universities. 14. Have you provided adequately for your recreation needs. 15. What have you done to provide for parks and greenways. Thank you once again for all you have done to assist us. We are so anxious to meet you and to visit with you. Sincerely; Mitchell C. Neibaur Rexburg Chamber of Commerce r Questions for City of Provo and Orem trip 1. Do you have a city owned or run aquatic center? If so, why? If so, is it profitable? If not, why? 2. How do you handle growth? ,How do you fund different projects? Looking back, what would you have done differently? 3. .Is it hard for people to make money in your economy, because it's easy to get college .students to work for nothing? 4. How do you handle the extra wear and tear on your city streets, in regards to college students traveling them? College students don't pay taxes, but they do travel the streets. How do you handle issues in regards to your city streets?

The State has suggested changing to parallel parking as a safety issue. This poses a complicated problem. Parking spaces on Main Street would be severely limited. Although the State proposes to provide funds for off -street parking and beautification, this is not a perfect solution. It's a perplexing problem, and I have struggled to decide on the correct solution. I have come to a conclusion that hopefully will be a good solution to the parking question: I propose that we maintain diagonal parking on Main Street. This is important to maintain the business integrity and tax base on Main Street. Additionally we could consider the following options: We could narrow the sidewalks by taking out the first, curb -side strip of sidewalk and thus make the street about 10 feet wider and safer. We could also reduce the speed limit to 20 mph. And, we should also seek to acquire additional off - street parking lots. We need to continue with diagonal parking both for the needed parking spaces and also for safety. Too many people struggle with parallel parking. The driver must come to a complete stop, then attempt to maneuver into the parking space going in reverse. Too many times the driver fails to get a good angle and must pull back out and try again. Meanwhile, traffic is backing up and poses a major possibility for rear -end collisions. In some cases the driving lane could be blocked for a minute or more. Diagonal parking provides the benefit of allowing drivers to simply slow down and pull, into the parking space. Exiting the parking space requires approximately the same amount of care and caution on the part of the driver for diagonal or parallel spaces. There actually may be cases where parallel parking is more hazardous because the driver is hemmed in and has difficulty going back and forth to get the right angle to properly leave the parking space. The accident rate might actually increase if parallel parking is instigated. I feel that a good many accidents are caused by speed or inattentive driving and have little to do with diagonal parking. The accident rate may be high, but this is largely due to the sheer volume of traffic on Main Street. Teenagers and college students drag Main, adding to the volume of traffic. The accidents I have personally observed have been in the inside lane, and have nothing to do with diagonal parking. Business is fragile on Main Street. If we go to parallel parking, this will pose an additional economic burden on businesses. Off - street parking lots will provide spaces, but customers will have to walk down the alley or walls to Main Street and then to the business they want to patronize. Nobody wants to walk half a block or more to get to the store they are interested in. It has been proposed that rear entrances be installed for existing businesses, but this means additional costs and generally would require hiring additional employees simply to watch for shoplifting. These additional costs are simply too much for many businesses. Further limitations on parking will also deter people from opening a business on Main Street. I would hold the same feelings if I didn't have a business on Main Street. People enjoy the ease and convenience of diagonal parking as opposed to parallel parking. Already parking spaces are sometimes inadequate, and changing to parallel parking will severely jeopardize the business community. Parallel parking would not be good for the town. Rexburg will be a different town forever if we move away from diagonal parking. 7,e�s i REXBURG DOWNTOWN SURVEY The decisions made in the next short time will determine the future of downtown Rexburg.

My "son's birthday,'was the same night and we took the kids to dinner. Nevertheless; I had some suggestions that I would like to make regarding downtown parking: It relates to the parking lot on the south side of Center Street between.Saureys everyday Floral & Gifts and Dr: Snarr's dental office: I think that parking lot could be better utilized to benefitdowntownmerchants, their employees; as well as patrons. I would suggest the following changes: 1, Require that INEEL employees park their cars in alot outside of the downtown area during the day. I am aware of other City 'owned property not far Iiom the downtown area that I feel could be easily:utilized and accessed by INEEL employees and'the buses who " carry them to their jobs: This would reduce the congestion and open up more parking spaces for merchants, customers, and employees in the Carlson Avenue: and Center Street area. 1 Restrict; by use "of signs and in other ways, the use of the City owned, parking lotby residents; of the surrounding apartment buildings. the current Cityparking ordinance should require sufficient parking,within, the boundaries of the La Jolla and Allen Hall. apartment properties for their residents; leaving the City owned parking for custoers and employees of downtown businesses: 3. Expand the n p umber of all day parking p l- aces on 'the west side of the 'parking lot. The � parking spaces on the east side of the parking lot designated for two hour parking are " seldom used. Although some two hour parkingneeds to be.in place it is currently excessive and the lot could 'be:better utilized if more all day parking spots were open. We would appreciate,the Citys consideration of our requests, which I feel are reasonable and a practical solution to some of the short term parking problems'ni our immediate area. For your information, I am aware of many businesses within the Center Street area that are sr giortive of the ideas I have put forth..

AMET personnel have spent significant time continually cleaning up spilled trash and broken glass containers to maintain the safety and appearance of our property. We have also continued to experience damage to the fence. Because of these safety and cleanliness issues on the sidewalk and damage to the fence, we feel it necessary to close off the parking area and have the trash containers removed from our property. If you would be willing to accept the responsibility of the area, then we would be willing to offer a formal agreement with you to lease the current parking area at a monthly rate of $100. In addition, we will require proof of insurance for personal liability as well as property damage for the fence and building. If you are interested in discussing an agreement, please contact me at 356 -7274 by April 15lb. If we have not heard from you by this time, we will start preparations to close the parking area and have the trash containers moved.
