Roll Call of Council Members:
Attending: Council Member Flora, Council Member Mann, Council Member Busby, Council
Member Walker, Council President Smith and Mayor Merrill.
Council Member Wolfe asked to be excused.
Mayor Merrill reported on a meeting city staff held with Western Recycling, the company
responsible for picking up the city’s recycling containers. There have been issues with the company
not picking up the recycling containers in some of the city’s neighborhoods. The Western Recycling
representative explained in the meeting; they have had a high turnover in personnel and each time
they have to train a new driver to follow the route already established by the city is causing container
pick up issues. The representative also informed city staff many of the items being put into the
recycling containers are items that cannot be recycled.
Mayor Merrill asked the city residents attending the meeting for assistance with informing their
neighbors which items should be put into the recycling containers. He mentioned some of the items
that can still be recycled are cardboard, paper, and some plastic items. The paper with a glossy coat
such as magazines cannot be recycled, pizza boxes can’t be recycled because of the grease residue
left from the pizza and all of the plastic bottles need to be washed out before putting them in the
recycling containers. If the plastic bottles have left over product in them, they will be thrown away
and not recycled.
Mayor Merrill said a newsletter will be sent out to the Rexburg residents to better inform them
which types of plastic, cardboard and paper are considered recyclable.
Consent Calendar: The consent calendar includes items which require formal City Council
action, however they are typically routine or not of great controversy. Individual Council members

mentor. She works hard for the citizens of Rexburg and he will miss her on City Council.

learned much from her. He thanked Sally for organizing the City Council drive-around every year.

Public Comment: not scheduled on the agenda (limit 3 minutes); issues may be considered for
discussion on a future agenda. Please keep comments on point and respectful.
Steven Oakey said he listens to a podcast by an Author Historian Brian Mclaughlin and one of his
quotes is “think locally and act locally”. This is his attempt to fulfill that quote. He said with the
change in Council Members tonight it allows the opportunity to present new ideas and to think
differently how we do things. He may not know much about Council Member Johnson or her
philosophy about how to manage local government. He has had the opportunity to speak with
Planning and Zoning Administrator Alan Parkinson. Mr. Oakey said he believes Mr. Parkinson is a
local man that has not been bureaucratized and has some ideas that comport with his philosophy
regarding land management. He believes land management is the number one function city
government is supposed to be paying attention to. There is a rare opportunity right now with newly
elected Council Member Johnson and recently hired Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson
to think in terms of different things regarding land management.
Mr. Oakey said the George Mason University Mercatus Center recently published an article on the
The Bridge webpage. The article reiterated statements Idaho Governor Brad Little made during his
State of the State address. This article was published on the 2nd of January with the following title
“Idaho is the Least Regulated State and a Model for the Rest of the Country. Mr. Oakey read the
first paragraph of the article.
5
Last month, Idaho Governor Brad Little announced that the state cut more than 1,800 pages of regulations in 2019,
bringing its total regulatory count down to just 41,000 restrictions. If this new count is accurate, it would make Idaho
the least regulated state in the nation, according to recent research from the Mercatus Center.
Mr. Oakey indicated he has always advocated for less government. He believes he is in firm
standing with the founders of our country and hopes he is also in concordance with many of the
people that populate this city. He said he frequently hears advocacy of a certain type of government;
however, often times does not see this type of government in action. He finds himself in a small
minority trying to find ways of getting rid of rules and regulations and he applauds the State of
Idaho for reducing regulations.
Mr. Oakey recommended several books to City Council he has been reading. The first book is by
Oliver Porter he is the architect of the City of Sandy Springs, Georgia. The City of Sandy Springs
does business far and away different than most cities in this country do business. The second book
is called Order Without Design, written by a very prominent French urban planner named Alain
Bertaud. Mr. Bertaud goes against the grain of typical urban planning and has caught grief from
others because of his different view regarding urban planning. Mr. Oakey read some quotes from
Mr. Bertaud’s book.
“The objective of the planner should be to maintain mobility and housing affordability as the city’s population increases
and it diversifies its activities.” “Efforts to course a city’s shape into an arbitrary predetermined form or an arbitrary
set density would always result in adverse consequences of formability and affordability. Arguably land use controls
have more widespread impact on the lives of ordinary Americans than any other regulation. These controls typical
imposed by localities make housing more expensive and restrict the growth of America’s most successful metropolitan
areas. These regulations have created over time with virtually no cost benefit analysis.”
Mr. Oakey said when he thinks in terms of the roadblocks to more free land use governance. He
thinks of two things prominently, the first is zoning. Zoning is an encumbrance upon people’s right
to perform and to maximize the value of their property which property is an extension of
themselves. He said I want to ask a question to the guardians of the Rexburg code. How many zones
there are in Rexburg? He said he counted 23 zones. He did not count the other regulatory zones that
apply to land use regulation. He questioned why so many zones are needed to govern a small town
like Rexburg.
Mr. Oakey said his experience on the Planning and Zoning Commission is that very few of these
zones are used. He believes, for the most part, the existing zones are an encumbrance. He
questioned if the city could do away with most of the regulatory zones. The governing board should
start to ponder reducing the impediment and barriers zoning places on people that are doing
business, creating wealth, generating opportunities for themselves and the community. The second
barrier he encounters frequently with his activities on the Planning and Zoning Commission is what
he calls the demand for value. Often times, when there is controversial land use action taking place
many people from the neighborhood will come to voice their concerns stating, they moved into the
neighborhood several years ago and did not expect change. They expect the governing board to
protect the value of their property. He said value is highly suggestive and for the government to step
in and create value is an invitation for warfare. When neighbors come to a land use action hearing
and are pitted against each other, it starts a neighborhood and citywide warfare of value against
value. As Jefferson said, “In the pursuit of happiness” Mr. Oakey said it is not the guarantee of
happiness it is a pursuit. Every person is allowed the availability to pursue value in the manner and
fashion they decide to pursue.
Mr. Oakey said over the last several years he has seen a clash of values. Certain neighbors in the
City of Sugar City have come out in fights. City Council Members have resigned, people have been
fired and a lawsuit against the city has been filed for the simple reason that some people think it is
within their right to demand of other people the management of their property because their value is
different than their neighbors across the street. He suggests, hopes and will work to allow people the
maximum freedom to allow them to enjoy their property in safety and as Jefferson also said, “In
their lives and liberties”.

Presentations:
Staff Reports:
A. Community Development: - Bret Stoddard
Building Official Stoddard reviewed the Building Valuation Report for December of 2019.
Building Official Stoddard reviewed the Yearly Valuation Totals. The county valuation total was also
added to the report for the year 2019 because the city was assisting the county with their building
inspections until they hired a building inspector.
Building Official Stoddard reported between all of the different building and planning and zoning
permits, 1,092 permits were issued by the Building Department in 2019.
Building Official Stoddard reviewed a summary of the items completed by the Building Department for
the year 2019. The old permits are being scanned into Laserfiche to make them more easily accessible to the
public. They have also been using the City Works program to update and finalize projects. The have created
reports for the Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) to determine the status of each certificate in the building
process.

Building Official Stoddard reported Planning and Zoning Coordinator Tawnya Grover and city employee
Faron Young have been working on the online public portal through the City Works program. The public
portal will allow the applicant to fill out the permit application and apply for a permit online. He said
currently 63% of the applicants are using the public portal.
Planning and Zoning Coordinator Grover reviewed the steps of how the applicant can apply for a
building permit online using the public portal. The public portal is similar to the State of Idaho’s model.
Council Member Mann asked if the fees for the permit are calculated at the time the applicant has finished
filling out the application. Building Official Stoddard replied yes the fees for the permit are calculated at the
end of the application process.
Council Member Busby questioned if the impact fees are calculated for the applicant after the application
has been completed. Building Official Stoddard said the impact fee calculations are available on the website.
The public portal is used when the applicant is ready to start the building project.
Building Official Stoddard reviewed the dashboard report with map indicating the types of permits
submitted and the location of the permit on the map. He mentioned the dashboard report is available
through the City Works program and has been very beneficial for the Building Department.
B. Recreation: - Recreation Director Jeff Crowther and Race/Events Coordinator Jon Faldmo
1. New Race Proposal
A video of the 2019 Rexburg Race Series was viewed on the overhead screen.
Recreation Director Crowther reviewed the number of participants, expenses, revenues and profit
for the Teton Dam Marathon. He also reviewed the numbers for the Main Street Mile. These two
races are doing well and he hopes the races will continue to grow in the number of participants. He
said he has parents come up to him to express their gratitude for races the city offers.
Recreation Director Crowther reviewed the numbers for the Youth Triathlon. The triathlon is on
its third year and the number of participants has decreased each year. He believes the number of
participants has decreased because of the age requirement. The triathlon is only for participants ages
five through twelve.
Recreation Director Crowther said the Recreation Department’s slogan for the race series is “A
Race for everyone.”
8
Council Member Busby questioned the revenue collected for the Youth Triathlon. Recreation
Director Crowther said most of the revenue collected for the Youth Triathlon was from different
sponsors. The entry fee for the triathlon was $25.00.
Race Coordinator Jon Faldmo explained he has researched several different races that would fit
the city’s race series motto of “A Race for Everyone.” After some discussion, he and Recreation
Director Crowther decide to propose The Foamy 5K to City Council. The race is for everyone
including families with small children, teenagers and college students.
A video of a Foamy 5K Race was viewed on the overhead screen.
Race Coordinator Faldmo said there are other cities all over the country sponsoring Foamy 5K
races. This type of race has been very popular and successful. He reviewed the proposed race route
for the Foamy 5K Race.
Race Coordinator Faldmo explained the Foamy 5K Financial Forecast, the goals and purpose for
the city’s race series.
9
Council Member Flora asked for the number of participants needed to sign up for the race to
make a profit of $8,000. Race Coordinator Faldmo explained the forecast indicates it will take 200
youth and 400 adult participants for the race to collect a profit of $8,000.
Mayor Merrill indicated there are risks/rewards when introducing a new race. The risk would be a
greater loss in revenues and the reward would be a larger number of participants with an increase in
revenues. Race Coordinator Faldmo said the research completed on this type of race indicates a
larger number of participant turn out.
Council Member Johnson asked for the proposed registration fees for the race. Race Coordinator
Faldmo replied $12.00 for a youth participant and $25 for an adult particpant.
Council Member Busby questioned if the Recreation Department’s Budget has funds available to
cover the expenses for the proposed race. Race Coordinator Faldmo said the youth triathalon
sponsors expressed interest in sponsoring the Foamy 5K Race.
Council Member Mann indicated he would prefer items needing budget adjustments be brought
to City Council sooner. He would prefer they be part of the department’s budget meeting. He also
10
questioned if the city has adequate storage to be able to store the items needing to be purchased for
the race. Race Coordinator Faldmo replied yes, there is a shed the city owns where the items would
be stored.
Council Member Walker questioned if more sponsors could be obtained to help cover some of
the expenses for the race. Recreation Director Crowther said in years past the city’s race series has
received $27,000. This year the city has received a good start in sponsorships for the race series.
Council Member Busby asked if the equipment needed for the race can be rented instead of
purchased. Race Coordinator Faldmo said he spoke to a private company that promotes this type of
race and the cost was only 15% to 20% cheaper than purchasing the equipment.
Council Member Busby asked if the private company would be willing to sponsor a foamy race in
Rexburg to determine how much interest the race would generate. Race Coordinator Faldmo said he
didn’t believe the private company would be interested in sponsoring a race in Rexburg because of
the city’s population they prefer larger populated cities.
2. Fiscal Year 2020 Foamy 5 K Budget Adjustment
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Recreation Budget Adjustment. In order to fund the Foamy
5K Race it would take a transfer of $5,400. from the general fund after collecting $12,000 in
entrance fees and $4,000 in donations. The city’s General Fund subsidizes the Recreation Programs
by About $100,000 a year; it benefits to minimize the subsidy.
Council Member Busby asked if a City Council decision could be postponed until the Recreation
Department receives an answer from the private company if they would be willing to sponsor a
foamy race in Rexburg. Council Member Busby asked for the date of the race. Race Coordinator
Faldmo said the race date is set for July 11th.
Discussion regarding renting the equipment for the foamy race and asking a private company to
sponsor the race for free. City Council postponed the Recreation Budget Adjustment decision until
the next City Council meeting.

Wastewater facility. A public hearing will be held on January 15th to finalize Local Improvement
District 48 (LID) and in February a public hearing will be held to begin LID 49.
Council Member Busby asked if there were any issues with LID 48. Public Works Director
Davidson said there were some change orders with fire hydrants and there will be some warranty
work needing to be completed this spring.
Council Member Busby asked about snow removal. Public Works Director Davidson said when
the city goes out to plow for snow removal all of the city streets are plowed including residential
streets.
Council Member Walker asked about the traffic light on University Boulevard and Yellowstone
Highway the cycle is not working properly. Public Works Director Davidson said the camera system
has not been installed because the camera has not been received.
