State of the City Report 2003
Dear Friends,
Well I am sure that I don't need to remind anyone in our good Community of all the changes and
challenges that we have faced this last year! However, I feel that it's good to pause and review what our City has
been doing in 2002. I hope that this information will provide you with a good overview of the various City
Departments.
Before I get started I want to visit a moment with you a bit before I make my official report. I
mentioned last year that I learned quite a bit. Well, this year I came to the realization that I have a great deal
more to learn. The City is growing like never before. We had a twelve fold increase in building permits in 2002
over an average year. That alone is a staggering statistic. Along with all this growth, there have been many
changes that our community has faced. There have been many difficult zoning issues that the City Council and
Planning and Zoning Commission have had to on the City agenda. It has not been easy and my hat is off to
both the City Council Members and the hard working folks on the Planning and Zoning Commission.
I have come to understand even more clearly than in any of the 17 years I have been serving in City
Government, that the decisions we make today must consider more than the moment or what seems to be a
good idea to solve the present problems. Our vision must be such that in the years ahead we can look back with
satisfaction and not regret. This is not an easy challenge for sure. However, I believe that our good City is up to
the challenge.
That is just one of the many reasons that I feel our community is second to none. I feel so privileged to
serve you. Rexburg is the greatest!! I love our Town with all my heart and am so glad I live here.
Now on with the 2002 City report:
1. STREETS:
• A major street project during 2002 was the reconstruction of one block of 3`s North, one block of North
2"n West, and two blocks of West 2' North adjacent to the railroad tracks. These road were completely
reconstructed to replace roads that had reached the end of there useful life.
• Rolling Hills Drive was also reconstructed from Shoshone to 4`h East.
• City wide LID's replaced areas of curb, gutter, and sidewalk along with the addition of new sidewalks
throughout the City.
• A major accomplishment was the installation of an electrical and watering system along Main Street to
provide power for new street lights, power for the overhead lighting, and empty conduit for possible
future fiber optic lines. This project included the installation of a water line to irrigate the trees and
Promise Organization. Megan thanked the Community for supporting the youth.
New Business:
Continental Park Condominium — Final Plat (648 South 51h West) Kartchner Homes
Kurt Hibbert — Reviewed the final plat for converting apartments to condos. They are located by
the Don Rydalch home near 7'h South and 5's West. The units were part of one large
apartment complex.
Lyle Cook — Idaho Division Manager representing Kartchner Homes — Reviewed the proposal
with the City Staff. They plan to change the plat from apartments to condominiums.
There is a water detention area that will utilized for a playground area with playground
equipment.
Donna Benfield — Inquired for information on the changes made to parking.
Lyle Cook — Indicated that the parking is basically the same with two parking stalls per unit. Six
more parking stalls could be installed if the Council required additional parking stalls.

the motion; all voted aye, none opposed. The motion carried.
Spring (Mountain) Creek- Division #1—Final Plat (6�h Soath & 3'd West)
Mountain River Engineering
John Millar — Reviewed the re -plat of the area to realign some of the previous plats and City
right of way. It is a re -plat to align the street. Planning and Zoning recommended
approval of the plat. The plat shows a 70 foot right of way on the area that is part of the
Parker Addition. John indicated that this is an error; the actual right of way is 99 feet
instead of 70 feet. The developer will seek abandonment of about 14 feet of right of way
at a latter date for a development proposal.
Nyle Fullmer moved to approve the final plat with the correction; Marsha Bjomn seconded
the motion; all voted aye, none opposed. The motion carried.
Hidden Valley Phase 6 - Final Plat (Hidden Valley) The Dyer Group
Winston Dyer — Manager of the Dyer Group represented the developers — Winston reviewed the
plat on the overhead screen. They plan to have 9 phases in this development. The reason
larger subdivisions are developed in phases is a tax issue. Phased development brings
property into the tax rolls as they are developed. He reviewed Phase 5 with 16 lots that
has sold out. Phase 6 is just South of phase 5. The whole development will have a 3.8
acre park that connects to a green way for the Community that will be turned over to the
City of Rexburg for maintenance. They plan a total of 9 Phases in this development.
Planning and Zoning recommended approval of the plat.
Shawn Larsen moved to accept Hidden Valley Phase Six as a final plat; Paul Pugmire seconded
the motion; all voted aye, none opposed. The motion carried.

Update on Proiects:
John Millar — Reviewed the Westside water project that is being prepared for bid.
The City plans to bid the proposed water and sewer extensions by the end of February.
The plans and specifications have been submitted to DEQ and to the Idaho
Transportation Department for review. The lack of ground water this year makes it a
good year to do the project. It is being bid in schedules to allow the City to award
sections of the proposed project based on the outcome of the proposed annexation of the
areas on the West side of the City.
Highway Project 33 — H&K Contractors got the bid for approximately $1.5 million. H&K will
mill off 2/10 of afoot of asphalt and then patch areas that need repair. They will
resurface the street with 2/10 of a foot of asphalt. From the court house to the railroad
tracks on 2"d East, they will mill off 2.5 inches and grind up remaining asphalt and
overlay with asphalt. The work is primarily done on weekends and at night on the Main
Street portion. The 2"d East section will be done in such a way as not to hinder the
business. The City will conference with the contractor in March.
Traffic Controls will be replace with camera systems on Main Street at 5h West, 2"d East,
Wal-Mart Intersection and the Highway 33 tum off. They will be updated to have
camera systems. The State will install a conduit the length of the project to inter -connect
the signals to help move traffic through town. John asked if the Council would like a
feasibility study done to install a fiber optics cable with the State signal conduit. This
would enable fiber optics to go through town without disturbing the streets.
