Council Member Benfield joined the meeting via telephone. Public Comment on non-controversial issues: not scheduled on the agenda (limit 3 minutes): Tayiz Banez from Venezuela said she attends the Madison High School and is a member of their swim team. She has been swimming for ten years and is an Idaho State swimming champion. She holds the state record in the 100 yards breaststroke. She would like to see more participation in the sport of swimming, because it is a great sport. Ms. Tayiz Banez said her daughter Tayez whom is named after her is her only daughter. She has four sons who were also competitive swimmers in Venezuela, one of them is a BYU-Idaho graduate in Mechanical Engineering. She said the Madison High School Swim Team consists of her daughter and another male student. There are other students that are interested in joining the swim team; however, they have to travel to Idaho Falls for swim practice. The Idaho Falls swimming pool doesn’t meet the competitive swim regulations, which causes them to travel further for swim meets. She and her family travel to Boise or Twin Falls for competitions. The City of Boise has a great swimming pool facility that meets the competitive swim regulations. She believes Rexburg should have a swimming pool facility like the one in Boise. The competitive swim tournaments would bring more commerce to Rexburg. 35 North 1st East Rexburg, ID 83440 Phone: 208.359.3020 x2313 Fax: 208.359.3022 blairk@rexburg.org www.rexburg.org City Council Meeting November 04, 2015 2 Nicolas Alison referenced the Envison Madison report. Principle: 4 in the report states Enhance Community Recreation and Tourism. Enhance recreational opportunities by coordinating and advertising those opportunities that already exist. Provide more recreational opportunities during the cold winter months by building an indoor athletic complex. The final survey of the report showed the biggest item was an indoor athletic complex too. He asked City Council to seriously consider an indoor swimming facility used to host swim competitions. He understands City growth is a determining factor. He urged City Council to look for ways to fund the building of an indoor recreation complex. He believes an indoor complex would boost the local economy. Craig Johnson said he agrees with the comments that were shared regarding an indoor recreational complex. He also expressed his gratitude for the elections and for those who ran for City Council. He is grateful for the City’s public servants who share their time and serve our community. He appreciated the clean campaigning. Presentations: A. Rexburg Connect bus service Jerry Vargas from the Houston Texas represents Rexburg Connect a transportation business. He said Brian Hutchings and his son Sam Vargas will present the transportation business plan to City Council. Mr. Hutchings thanked Mayor Woodland and City Council for their time. He said they have been communicating with BYU-Idaho University and City staff in starting up a transportation business. The short term goal for their business is to offer transportation to BYU-Idaho University Students. The long term goal would be to offer the service to Rexburg residents. He said there is a great need for transportation within the University’s student population because most students don’t own a car. Rexburg Connect would use shuttles or buses to transport the students from one side of the University to the other side and to local business. They have offers from thirty different businesses who will offer discounts to the students. This will offer an incentive for the students to shop at these local businesses. Mr. Sam Vargas with Rexburg Connect stated they are seeking City Council approval to work with City staff on creating bus stops around the University. They will need City street access for the bus stops. It will take team work from BYU-Idaho, the City, and Rexburg Connect to get the business started. He said their goal is to create safe transportation for the BYU-Idaho students. He reviewed the City street map on the overhead screen to show which City Streets they would like to have access to for bus stops. There are three different streets. The first street is City owned, the second is half owned by the City and the other half by the university. The third street is owned by the University. He indicated they hope to have three bus stop locations on each of the three streets. Mr. Sam Vargas asked if the bus stop on 2nd South near Northpoint Apartments would cause any traffic problems. City Engineer Davidson did not see a traffic problem at that location. He also asked about the second stop on 1st W near the BYU-Idaho Stadium. City Engineer Davidson said they will need to work with BYU-Idaho to see if they will allow them to use their parking lot. Mr. Sam Vargas reviewed the next set of bus stop locations. Council Member Busby asked about the number of buses that will be operating. Mr. Vargas said on the East side of the University there will be 2 buses circling around and one bus running the North side. The stop across the stadium could possibly impede traffic, which is something their company doesn’t want to do. They would like to have a bus stop to the west of the stadium. He said in total they would like to have three bus stops per street. They are only looking at a total of three streets at this time. Discussion regarding passenger safety and bus driver safety. 3 Council Member Busby asked about the destination for the third bus stop. Mr. Vargas said it is a University route and a grocery/entertainment route. Rexburg Connect only services BYU- Idaho students. Mr. Hutchings said in the future they will want to offer transportation services to Rexburg residents however it is not feasible at this time. Council Member Busby asked if they will provide transportation to the new Super Walmart. Mr. Vargas said they have contacted Super Walmart’s manager about having a bus stop at their location. The store would like the City to be involved in the process. Council Member Busby asked about the size of the buses they will be using. Mr. Vargas replied they are full size 25 to 30 passenger buses. In order to make it feasible they will need to be able to transport a large number of passengers. Council Member Merrill motioned to approve for City Staff to work with Rexburg Connect on the use of City Streets for their bus stops. Council Member Busby Second the motion.

Request to waive the fees to use the Tabernacle for a Christmas Concert – Shey Ercanbrack “The original Underground Railroad was a network that existed in 19th century America to liberate African slaves. We often congratulate ourselves for having eradicated 19th century slavery. However, it has not been eradicated. It is uglier than ever. Its victims today include nearly 2 million precious children in the world.* They are sex slaves. This is why Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) was created. Using cutting-edge computer technology and human intelligence, O.U.R. under cover teams of former CIA and Special Ops personnel go into the darkest corners of the world to help local law enforcement liberate enslaved children and dismantle the criminal networks. Since the organization was founded in January of 2014, they have liberated over 300 children from this nightmare. Not only do they rescue the children, but they reunite them with their families when possible and work with The Elizabeth Smart Foundation to nurture and rehabilitate them. OUR Joy to Everyone Christmas Concert is an event that will take place here in Rexburg on Monday, December 14, 2015. The performers will be made up of talented performers from Rexburg & surrounding areas including a high school choir composed of choral students from Sugar-Salem High School, a children's choir, dancers, & local singers who have been finalists or winners in the community event, Upper Valley Idol. 5 The concert will bring the whole community together to share in the true meaning of Christmas as we unite to help others in need. We will have a visit from Santa Claus as well, children will be able to sit on Santa's lap & get a free picture taken. The goal of O.U.R. Christmas Concert is to raise awareness for Operation Underground Railroad and to raise money to support future rescues and rehabilitation of victims. 100% of the profits from the concert will go directly to O.U.R. to help save children. We sincerely appreciate your donation of any kind to this worthy cause.” For additional information or questions regarding O.U.R.

Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council President Smith None Council Member Benfield Council Member Mann Council Member Merrill Council Member Busby Council Member Wolfe The motion carried Public Hearings: A. 7:00 P.M. Ordinance 1134 – Adopting the Urban Renewal Plan for the North Interchange Urban Renewal District; also, Resolution 2015 – 13 (Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Rexburg and Sugar City); and Resolution 2015 – 14 (Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Rexburg and Madison County). Council Member Merrill reviewed the proposal of adopting the Urban Renewal Plan for the North Interchange on the overhead screen. He said the Urban Renewal Agency proposed a larger area than what is shown on the map below. It was recommended by the Madison County Commissioners to decrease the area. He said the Urban Renewal Agency began with a larger area and decrease the size of the area; however they cannot increase the area after they have started the process. 7 Council Member Merrill pointed out the North Interchange and the location of the Super Walmart. The Plan is to start widening the road from the corner of where the Super Wal- Mart begins to the North Highway Interchange. Another part of the plan is to make the Moody Road a three lane road. Council Member Merrill stated within the planned infrastructure they will included the installation of water and sewer lines, etc. to allow future development. Council Member Merrill said all of the land owners inside the North Interchange Urban Renewal District have signed the Urban Renewal agreement. The land to the north is in the City of Sugar City’s impact zone. The City of Sugar City has also approved this plan. Sugar City asked to be included and wanted to be involved in the planning. The City of Sugar City would also like to see future development. Council Member Merrill said what is before City Council tonight is the public hearing and decision to approve or deny Resolution 2015-13 an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Rexburg and Sugar City. A decision will also be made to approve or deny Resolution 2015-14 an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Rexburg and Madison County. The final decision will be to approve or deny Ordinance 1134- adopting the Urban Renewal Plan for the North Interchange Urban Renewal District. Council Member Busby asked if making Moody Road a three lane road would support future growth. City Engineer Davidson indicated it would handle future growth. Discussion regarding the widening of the roads to accommodate traffic flow. “This Plan was prepared by the Board of Commissioners, consultants, and staff of the Urban Renewal Agency for the City of Rexburg (the “Agency”) and reviewed and recommended by the Agency pursuant to the Idaho Urban Renewal Law of 1965, Chapter 20, Title 50, Idaho Code, as amended (the “Law”), the Local Economic Development Act, Chapter 29, Title 50, Idaho Code, as amended (the “Act”), and all applicable local laws and ordinances.” “The proposed redevelopment of the Project Area as described in this Plan conforms to The City of Rexburg Vision 2020 Comprehensive Plan, as amended (the “Comprehensive Plan”), and adopted by the Rexburg City Council (the “City Council”).” Mayor Woodland opened the public hearing. Written correspondence: - NONE 8 Public Testimony in favor of the proposal (5 minute limit): NONE Public Testimony neutral to the proposal (5 minute limit): Kenneth Hart asked how the North Interchange Urban Renewal District Plan will benefit the City of Sugar City. Council Member Merrill stated the City of Sugar City doesn’t have road access yet; however part of the Urban Renewal Plan is to improve the two side roads. After tax money is collected and saved they anticipate building infrastructure in the interior part of the Sugar City property. Mayor Woodland stated the City of Rexburg and Sugar City are partners in this Urban Renewal District. The services need to develop their property would be available. Kenneth Hart asked if its pay as you build or can the Urban Renewal District borrow money. Council Member Merrill indicated for the initial widening of the two City roads, the plan is to issue a bond. The bond would be paid back with the urban renewal funds that are collected. Public Testimony opposed to the proposal (5 minute limit): Ralph Matson stated he lives across the street, slightly to the North of Super Walmart on 2nd East. He stated if a five lane road is built it will wipe out his house and the ditch that waters the farm lands. He stated Council Member Merrill said the property owners in the North Interchange Urban Renewal District had signed the agreement. Mr. Matson said he was left out of the decision to widen the road and wipe out his house. City Attorney Zollinger clarified there was an inadequacy in Council Member Merrill’s presentation regarding the North Interchange agreement. The Urban Renewal Agency obtained signatures for all property owners whom are legally allowed to oppose the agreement. It did not include residences; it was also a miss-statement to imply Mr. Matson signed off on the agreement. City Attorney Zollinger also stated it was a miss-statement to imply that there is a plan in place to immediately construct a five lane road. As Mr. Matson pointed out there is a ditch and right of way acquisitions that haven’t been address. It would be a lengthy process to widen the street to the West. City Attorney Zollinger said the current plan is to take steps immediately needed to widen the road to the East and extending it all the way to the North Interchange. Mr. Matson in not unique in his concerns about his property, there are other property owners to the south that would be affected by widening the road to five lanes. He indicated as the North Interchange Plan moves forward and development starts, the possibility of widening the road to five lanes increases. The North Interchange Plan is a twenty year plan. City Engineer Davidson said the time frame of the five lane road is unknown. Kelly McKamey stated the North Interchange Plan doesn’t affect him personally, he doesn’t live in the area. He opposes the general status of how the Urban Renewal Agency operates. Once this is approved the Urban Renewal Agency Board whom is not elected officials will continue the process without the property owner’s approval. He said there are other Urban Renewal Districts and he believes it’s an abusive system. He opposes the Urban Renewal Districts based on principle. Mayor Woodland closed the public hearing for deliberations. Mayor Woodland asked if there were any questions from the audience. Kenneth Hart asked about the collateral of the bond or loan. Finance Officer Nielson said the collateral is the future revenue stream from the tax increments that are generated. 9 Mr. Hart asked where the members of the Urban Renewal Agency live. Council Member Merrill said they are Rexburg and Madison County residents. A student in the audience asked if the widening of the road to five lanes would end before the bridge on the north Rexburg exit. He is concerned with traffic trying to get to the Super Walmart. Council Member Merrill said the state highway begins where the widening would end. Council Member Mann said traffic would still flow because one lane would turn off and the other lane would go over the bridge. The student also asked if the City or Madison County would fund the widening of the road. Council Member Merrill replied, the project would be funded by the Urban Renewal Agency. The Urban Renewal Agency has the power to borrow money to pay for the projects. He said the tax revenues from additional developments in this Urban Renewal District are saved to its fund. Discussion regarding interest by possible developers. Mrs. Tisha Flora questioned if future development doesn’t come, will the taxes collected from the Super Walmart be enough to pay back the bond. Council Member Merrill replied, the Urban Renewal Agency is set up in a way that if the money isn’t there or the North Interchange District doesn’t develop as it should then they won’t build more. City Attorney Zollinger clarified the Urban Renewal Agency will not encumber more than what the tax increments will bring in. There are a number of projects in the North Interchange District that could possibly be built in the course of twenty years. He said the purpose of the Urban Renewal Agency is to allow development to occur in advance of structure being there. Council Member Mann stated Urban Renewal is one of the few tools cities have to promote growth. Deliberations: Mayor Woodland asked for a motion to approve Resolution 2015 – 13 (Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Rexburg and Sugar City); and Resolution 2015 – 14 (Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Rexburg and Madison County). Council Member Mann moved to approve Resolution 2015 – 13 (Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Rexburg and Sugar City); and Resolution 2015 – 14 (Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Rexburg and Madison County); Council Member Merrill seconded the motion. Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council President Smith None Council Member Benfield Council Member Mann Council Member Merrill Council Member Busby Council Member Wolfe The motion carried Council Member Merrill moved to approve the adoption of the Urban Renewal District for the North 2nd East Interchange and consider Ordinance 1134 as first read for the Urban Renewal Plan; Council Member Mann seconded the motion. Discussion: Council Member Busby requested that City staff review the complaint by Ralph Matson concerning the road widening on the west side of 2nd East. He wanted to make sure the development of the west side of 2nd East would occur through negotiations with the property owners as their property develops in the future. Council Member 10 Merrill indicated one of the things he appreciates about the Urban Renewal Board Members is they too are land owners. He doesn’t believe the board would entertain a forced sell of property. Council Member Smith stated she agrees with Council Member Mann’s statement of urban renewal being a great tool for the State of Idaho and cities. Council Member Wolfe stated this is second public hearing the first was before Planning and Zoning. They approved it unanimously. Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council President Smith None Council Member Benfield Council Member Mann Council Member Merrill Council Member Busby Council Member Wolfe The motion carried B. 7:30 P.M. Resolution 2015 – 12 for the City of Rexburg and Madison County to consider proposed Airport fee increases. Also, other fees for the City of Rexburg will be reviewed for increase or addition to the City’s fee list. Mayor Woodland welcomed the Madison County Commissioners as they made their way up to sit in front of the dais in the City Council Chambers to participate in the public hearing. Finance Officer Nielson stated Madison County and the City of Rexburg have some joint ventures. They have some fees that crossover between the City and Madison County. The main fees include the Municipal and Teton Lakes Golf Courses, Legacy Flight Museum, and the Rexburg Airport. Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the increased fees for the Rexburg Airport. He stated the increases were recommendations made by the Airport Board. The landing fees increased from $800.00 to $ 900.00. There was increase in the fuel royalties from $0.05 to $0.07 and an increase in the lot lease per square foot from $0.14 to $0.15. Finance Officer Nielson reported on the fee increases for golf courses. He said the Golf Board is recommending an average increase of about 5% on daily fees and season passes. They did not recommend an increase in the junior golf passes. He indicated there are a few fee changes for the Legacy Flight Museum and Rexburg Rapids. The City’s fee list showing the proposed increase and changes was viewed on the overhead screen as contained in Resolution 2015 – 12.

Written correspondence: - NONE 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 Mayor Woodland closed the public hearing for deliberations. Madison County Commissioner Ricks closed the public hearing Deliberations: Mayor Woodland asked for a motion to approve Resolution 2015 – 12 for the City of Rexburg and Madison County to amend the Airport fees; also, adopt other fees as presented for the City of Rexburg on the City’s Master Fee List. Council Member Busby moved to approve Resolution 2015 – 12 for the City of Rexburg and Madison County to amend the Airport fees; also, adopt other fees as presented for the City of Rexburg on the City’s Master Fee List; Council Member Smith seconded the motion. Mayor Woodland asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council President Smith None Council Member Benfield Council Member Mann Council Member Merrill Council Member Busby Council Member Wolfe The motion carried Madison County Commissioner Ricks asked for a motion on behalf of Madison County to approve Ordinance 402. Madison County Commissioner Smith moved to approve Ordinance 402; County Commissioner Weber seconded the motion. Discussion; County Commissioner Smith asked about the fees listed that do not pertain to Madison County, do the fees need to be removed from the Madison County’s Ordinance 402. City Attorney Zollinger clarified there is no harm in including the fees, because Madison County can’t collect on City’s fees. He said it would be best to redact the City fees from the Madison County’s Ordinance No. 402. Madison County Commissioner Ricks asked for a vote; all voted aye. C. 7:30 P.M. Ordinance 1138 – Final Assessment roll for Local Improvement District Number 45 (L.I.D. 45). The City Council will hear and determine all objections to the regularity of the proceedings in making assessments, the correctness of assessments, and the amount levied on particular lots or parcels in relation to the benefits accruing thereon and in relation to the proper proportionate share of the total cost of the improvements. Staff: City Engineer Keith Davidson reviewed the Final Assessment roll for Local Improvement District Number 45 (L.I.D. 45). He stated the majority of the project took place on 2nd North in between Center Street and 2nd East. This project consisted of installing new water lines and replacing service sewer lines. It also included the reconstruction of the street, sidewalk, curb and gutter. There were three other properties included in the Local Improvement District 45. The first is the addition of a sidewalk at Porter Park. The other two properties are at Elm Street and 1st West; one had their sidewalk replaced the other property had curb and gutter added. 15 City Engineer Keith Davidson said they received two letters opposing L.I.D. 45 because they thought the costs were too high. Mayor Woodland asked about the cost of the project. City Engineer Davidson replied the costs were all lower than the estimated costs. There was one that was higher, because the owner asked for additional repairs. The costs on average were about 25% less. Council President Smith asked about the response from the opposing letter sent in by the ownership. Finance Officer Nielson said he has tried contacting them via telephone and email. They did not respond. Mayor Woodland opened the public hearing. Written correspondence: 16 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 17 Mr. Richard Jones spoke against LID 45. He said he hired a private contractor to replace a portion of his property’s curb and gutter. He believes he is being overcharge, because the portion of the curb and gutter that was installed by the private contractor was not deducted from the total cost. City Engineer Davidson stated he will look into the issue with the cost assessed to Mr. Jones’s property. He was unaware of the situation. Mr. Bill Eckersell also spoke against the cost of LID 45. He too wanted to hire a private contractor to replace the curb and gutter on his property; however was told by a City employee he couldn’t hire a private contractor. He said the final assessment was higher than what the private contractor would have charged him. City Engineer Joel Gray stated his understanding with Mr. Jones property was he had the City tear out the sidewalk and paid a private contractor to pour the sidewalk. He indicated Mr. Jones’s assessment doesn’t include the replacement of his sidewalk. Mayor Woodland asked City Staff to look into the cost issues with Mr. Jones and Mr. Eckersell’s cost assessments. Mayor Woodland closed the public hearing for deliberations.

Council Member Busby moved to approve the Final Assessment roll for Local Improvement with the condition that Mr Eckersell and Mr. Jones concerns with their assessments are addressed District Number 45 (L.I.D. 45) and consider Ordinance 1138 as first read; Council President Smith seconded the motion.

Local Highway Safety Program Agreement with ITD for Pedestrian Crossing upgrades to provide reflective performance and visibility for BYU-I crosswalks. City Engineer Keith Davidson reported on grants needing City Council approval. The one from the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LTAC) is a grant to replace the crosswalks with thermo-plastic. The thermo-plastic provides higher visibility and it doesn’t wear off like paint. They will replace the crosswalks around the BYU-Idaho University Campus. He said LTAC requires a $2,000.00 deposit which will be refunded once the grant process is completed. The total estimated cost of the project is $57,000.00. He indicated they applied for the grant in the spring. LTAC offered the grant to help mitigate accident prone areas in cities and because there were pedestrian vehicle accidents around the university campus, the City applied for the grant. Council Member Mann asked where the accidents occurred. City Engineer Davidson replied there is a history of accidents coming down 2nd East and 2nd South. The City’s Street Department Crew will start the work at these locations in the spring. He said the thermo- plastic melts into the asphalt and will last about five years.

He said more speed limit signs need to be installed in the middle of Park Street to remind drivers it’s a 25 mph speed zone.
