Presentations:
A. Rexburg Bus System Report – The BYU-Idaho chapter of the Jefferson Public Policy Society
is interested in the development of a bus system in Rexburg that would serve the transportation
needs of both students and the permanent residents of Rexburg – Ian Zollinger
Ian Zollinger and Jeffery Hendricks from Rexburg and Idaho Falls presented a document outlining
their desire to see bus service in Rexburg for students of BYU-I and the public. They do policy
research. They gave a power point presentation for a Rexburg Fixed Route Bus System.
Rexburg Bus System
“The BYU-Idaho chapter of the Jefferson Public Policy Society is interested in the development of
a bus system in Rexburg that would serve the transportation needs of both students and the
permanent residents of Rexburg. We feel that a bus system would be in the best interest of the
school and the community as it would provide more mobility to students and Rexburg residents. We
believe that increased mobility will have many benefits including; reduced traffic on roads, reduced
traffic and parking congestion around the BYU-Idaho campus, reduced risk to pedestrians, and

increased economic activity by increasing access to business centers. We believe that a coordinated
effort between citizens, students, the City of Rexburg and the University can be highly beneficial at a
relatively low cost to both the administration and users of a public bus system.”
They looked at Bozeman, Montana, because it is close to the same population and has a
university similar to Rexburg. They have a bus system called Streamline Bus System that was
created in 2006. It has been quite a success.
Council Member Merrill questioned how the students were asked. Mr. Hendricks replied
that they asked the students through an e-mail survey. Mr. Miles said that the students were
asked, “How often do you currently use the following modes of transportation in the
community right now?” and “If there was a bus system how often you would use it?”
Council Member Benfield asked how many students were included in the survey. They
said 200 students. They allowed plus or minus 7% margin of error.
Council Member Merrill said he would like to see a study done that sets up a hypothetical
route where actual businesses are asked if they would be willing to chip in on the cost of the
system. It would bring business to them. He would also like to see a private business be
able to start a bus system.
Mr. Miles said that the results were based on students paying $10.00 per month for the bus
service. If 15,000 students paid $10.00 per month, that’s $150,000. The study showed that
64% of the students would use the bus system if it was free and 36% would use it at a cost
of $10.00 per month.

City Clerk Blair Kay reminded the City Council that another bus system study for Rexburg
is going to be done soon through a federal grant.
Council President Smith talked about their visit to Bozeman to see the bus system that
they use. She said that Bozeman is laid out very different from Rexburg in that they are more
spread out. She would like to see a comparison with a city that is laid our more like Rexburg.
Council Member Benfield wondered about looking into the Logan, Utah, bus system. Mr.
Miles said that they have looked into it. He said Logan would be a good example of private
versus public bus system. They started out as a public system, then went to private and
ended up going back to a public system. Funding comes from the Federal Government.
When they started charging, ridership dropped and so did federal and state aid because it was
no longer operating as a service to the community.
Council President Smith said that she also heard that Utah State University in Logan, Utah
charges for the bus fee in their tuition at a rate of $5.00 per semester.
Committee Liaison Assignments for 2014:
A. Council Member Christopher Mann: Golf Board · Emergency Services Board · MYAB
Council Member Mann reported golf revenue is up at Teton Lakes. Foot golf at the municipal golf
course is going well too. The revenue is up $40,000 over last year. A sidewalk will be installed along
the south side of the municipal golf course with state (ITD) assistance. The golf course will be
installing a green coated chain link fence first and then the sidewalk will be done.
NOTE: Emergency Services will be presenting Raging Staging displaying firefighting procedures and equipment plus
other displays at the Madison High School this weekend June 6th & 7th. The public is invited from noon Friday to
Saturday afternoon.
B. Council Member Jordan Busby: GIS Oversight · Airport Board · Traffic & Safety
Council Member Busby reported his committees have not met; however, he asked about the
parking problems on Barney Dairy Road. Public Works Director Millar said they are in process of
leveling and graveling more area away from Barney Dairy Road. Council Member Busby is
concerned about safety there and would like the police department to monitor the area.
C. Council Member Donna Benfield: Police · Trails of Madison County · IBC · Teton Flood Museum Committee
Council Member Benfield reported her committees have not met; however, a police picnic is

M.E.P.I. met on Monday at the new Carriage Cove Rehab Center. It is a beautiful state of the art
facility that is complete and waiting for state certification.
E. Council Member Jerry Merrill: School Board · Parks & Recreation · Urban Renewal Agency
Council Member Jerry Merrill reported the Madison School Board and the Urban Renewal
Agency have not met. Parks and Recreation are doing well and very busy. The splash park is open
and Rexburg Rapids is getting ready to open. Pat Burton passed away. She was a major contributor
to the carousel – it would be nice to honor her. Mayor Woodland suggested a brass plaque at the
carousel would be nice. Councilman Merrill asked City Attorney Zollinger for an update on the
baseball fields. Zollinger said the federal government has approved the waiver so we can now switch
the property from one point to another (St. Anthony to Rexburg) and we will attach the new federal
encumberment on to the new baseball fields when we construct them in the fall. The Madison
School District will be allowed to use the ball fields, but the city will manage them.

ATTEST: Blair D. Kay
City Clerk
Johnny Watson of Rexburg, representing C.K Chan, reviewed the proposal behind K-Mart to
change the Comprehensive Plan as proposed. It is part of the original K-Mart development;
however, it was separated in error as open space behind the store. It is a clean-up proposal to
correct the open space designation and give Mr. Chan flexibility for the future.
The owner wanted to have a mixed use designation on the Comprehensive Plan.
Staffs review:
Compliance Officer Natalie Powell said that the property is 2.15 acres. She agreed that it is more
of a clean-up and that the water and sewer are already there so if there was ever a need for further
development it would be accessible. She referred to the staff report.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant wants to change the subject property from Open Space to Neighborhood
Commercial/Mixed Use on the Comprehensive Plan Map. The applicant feels that the use is
consistent with the use bordering the property on the south. The property to the east is currently
6
identified as Commercial. There is currently in place a request for a Conditional Use Permit for the
land directly to the south. The Planning and Zoning Commission should take testimony in the
public hearing to determine if this use will be in the best interest of the community.
Mayor Woodland opened the public hearing.
Public Testimony in favor of the proposal (5 minute limit): – NONE
Public Testimony neutral to the proposal (5 minute limit): – NONE
Public Testimony opposed to the proposal (5 minute limit): – NONE
Rebuttal by applicant: – NONE
Mayor Woodland closed the public hearing for deliberations.

Mesa Falls has nine buildings completed and they are currently starting phase two which will
consist of eight more 24 plexus and a clubhouse. The Grove at Riverside consists of 48
apartments; the building plans are being reviewed this week and a building permit should be
issued next week. Seasons Medical should also be ready for their building permit next week.
Commercial Tire has been issued their building permit. The Pines Apartments are
remodeling to accommodate the University’s requirement to separate the young men’s living
quarters from the young women’s. Northpoint’s commercial portion of the project is under
way and there have been several compliments on the pedestrian walkways that were built to
keep the residents safely out of the path of traffic. Carriage Cove was given a Certificate of
Occupancy however they are waiting on the State inspection to be completed on June 25
before they can officially open their doors. Mountain Lofts welcome center was also given a
Certificate of Occupancy this week. All the projects that were completed during the winter
and have been given a temporary C of O and will be finishing up their landscaping
requirements by the end of June.
Council Member Merrill inquired of vacant lots and if the owners are notified to keep them
mowed down and free of weeds. The City keeps a list of unsightly properties and each spring
the owners are notified that they are required to maintain their properties.
Council Member Busby asked if weed enforcement could be addressed. Compliance Officer
Powell said they are working on contacting problem properties.
Mayor Woodland asked about 150 S. 2nd E. Compliance Officer Powell said that she has
contacted the owners and they will be coming through Rexburg this summer and will mow it
and clean it up.
Council President Smith said she owns vacant lots. Sometimes when new construction
happens next to the vacant lots, they’ll find rocks, and other debrea on their lot which makes
it impossible to mow. Powell said that the inspectors have been notifying the people that are
building to make sure they clean up when construction is done.

Discussion:
Staff:
City Clerk Blair Kay presented the fact that this issue has been brought up several time in the past,
in 2008 and 2010. He referred to the hand-out with changes outlined. The two basic changes would
be to increase visitor parking from 3% to 5% and second, to avoid the profit motive. This change
would have the property owner make the request before a car could be booted or towed.
Council Member Benfield asked if the apartment owners have been made aware of this change.
City Clerk Kay said that it has been on the news. Mayor Woodland said University housing is aware.
Council Member Mann asked about proper procedure for public hearings. City Clerk Kay said
that they just need to say that they want a public hearing and that’s what they’ll do.

approve the changes.
