were able to hand the presents to the children and their family members in front of Wal-Mart. The children were also able to have a free breakfast at McDonalds with the officers and
their parents. The event sponsored 35 families and 75 children. Council Member Wolfe commended Trent Cichos, the McDonalds owner in Rexburg, for all he does to assist the community.
Staff Reports:
Finance: - Matt Nielson
Finance Report
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Dashboard report for the end of Fiscal Year 2020. The Cash, Investments and Reserves graph was viewed on the overhead screen. The account with the
largest change was in the State Diversified Bond Fund, money was moved from that account to the managed account TVI Agency Notes and Bonds. They also used a lot of funds from the Diversified
Bond Fund to place in Certificates of Deposits (CD’s). The returns on CD’s are much larger compared to treasury and agency types of investments.
//
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the funds that are forecasted to be over budget in the red.
/ /
//
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Infrastructure Fees graph. When compared to the amount budgeted the public works capacity fees and impact fees did well and were almost identical
to Fiscal Year 2019
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Community Growth graphs. The building permit fees for New Single Family Dwelling increased compared to the last four years. There was also a lot
of new commercial building permits; however, a decrease in new multi-family dwellings.
/ /
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Inflation graph. The estimated Cost of Living Adjustment was estimated to be lower six months ago; however, it has increased to 1.34%.
/ /
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Major Construction Projects graph. The blue bar in the graph indicates the remaining budget for that project. Some of the projects have a lot of
the remaining budget
because the project wasn’t started or it was partially started. The baseball/softball quad project will need a budget adjustment in Fiscal Year 2021 to pay for the remainder of the costs.
The Water Capacity Project is near completion with a final request from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) loan. The interest of the loan is 1.75%. There has been about 11
million dollars of water capacity improvements completed with funds from the DEQ loan.
/ /
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Minor Construction Projects. The Romance Building Remodel will need a budget adjustment in Fiscal Year 2021 to complete the project.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Annual Road and Street Financial Report. This report is required to be submitted to the state every year. He compared Fiscal Year 2019 and Fiscal
Year 2020 balances. In the state funding sources/highway user revenue there was a decrease in FY 2020. The total funding receipt was about half a million dollars less in FY 2020.
/
/
Finance Officer Nielson continued to review the Annual Road and Street Financial Report. There were more new roads completed in FY 2019. In FY 2020 more roads were chip sealed and seal
coated and a substantial amount of roads were patched. The winter maintenance costs are slightly misleading because the total doesn’t include the costs of the vehicles and equipment.
There were more road equipment purchases in FY 2020. The city also purchased more right of way for future construction projects. He said $60,054 of the carryover was used; however,
there was still a carryover of 3.3 million dollars into the next fiscal year. The 3.3 million dollar carryover may seem substantial until the five year road construction plan is reviewed.
The deferred maintenance costs over the last five years was 4.3 million dollars which means the city didn’t have those funds available to complete road projects.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Operating Expenditures Budget Summary Report. There are several departments above budget. The Arts is over budget due to the remodel of the Romance
Theater. Emergency Services is over budget because of the reconstruction of the parking lot. The Miscellaneous Category is over budget due to the Covid-19 Pandemic one-time expenses.
The grant funds from the states Cares Act will be applied to Miscellaneous Fund once received at the end of the year.
/
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Operating Revenues Budget Summary Report. The city has not received much revenue; however, once the property tax payment is received the revenues
will increase. The property tax payment will be less this year because of the onetime government relief money. The grant funds from the Idaho Cares Act will help cover the lower property
tax payment.
Council Member Mann asked when the grant funds will be received. Finance Officer Nielson replied the funds from the grant should be received at the end of this month.
/
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Cash and Investment Balance Report.
/
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Treasurer’s Expenditure Report by Fund.

Mayor’s Report:
Mayor Merrill reported he met with Kurt and Zachary Harman owners of Ray’s Chevron and Americlean. They donated over 14,000 bottles of hand sanitizer and masks to the city and local
schools. He reported he attended the Eastern Idaho Community Action Partnership (EICAP) board meeting. They discussed the transportation needs for the elderly and handicap community
members. He also met with Imagine Idaho representatives via Zoom. They are working on legislation to increase broadband access in Idaho. The city is supporting Imagine Idaho with a
consulting fee of $2,500 to lobby for broadband access.
Mayor Merrill reported a BYU-Idaho Student Group completed a public transportation survey for the city. The results of the transportation survey will be presented to City Council at
a later meeting. He said he was on KID News radio and was asked how the city is handling the Covid-19 Pandemic. He thanked Council Member Mann, Council Member Wolfe and Council Member
Walker for assisting with the City Employee Benefits Reception. Mayor Merrill said he met with Rex Mitchell to discuss a proposal for public transportation in Rexburg. Mr. Mitchell’s
transportation proposal is a unique concept. He and Mr. Mitchell met with the BYU-Idaho Engineering Department to discuss a senior class project that will focus on studding this unique
transportation proposal.
Mayor Merrill reported he met with Dr. Hancock and Dr. Lofgran to discuss Covid-19 issues in the community. He said Dr. Lofgran participated in the Covid-19 vaccine trials and is hopeful.
They discussed the need to keep the number of Covid-19 cases low by following the Eastern Idaho Public Health guidelines. He said Dr. Lofgran also mentioned 60 to 70 percent of the
population needs to be immunized to eradicate the virus.
Mayor Merrill met with the Regional Economic Development for Eastern Idaho (REDI) Executive Board on Zoom. They are leading the way regionally for new industry coming to Idaho mainly
in the nuclear field. The REDI Board is working to prepare East Idaho communities for these new industries. They recently sent a group to Georgia to tour Plant Vogtle which will become
the largest nuclear power station in the United States. There are over 8,000 people working on building the plant. The group will be reviewing all of the different processes of obtaining
large projects. He said one way the city can prepare for a large project similar to Plant Vogtle is to update its zoning and building codes.
Mayor Merrill said he met with the Energy Communities Alliance (ECA) Group via Zoom to discuss nuclear energy and nuclear medicine. ECA also conducted a survey to determine which sources
of electricity are considered clean by individuals.

for the type of work that will be needed. Mayor Merrill said the college and university counselors are informed of the up and coming industries in the area.
