Staff Reports:
A. Finance: - Matt Nielson
1. Finance Report
Finance Officer Nielson reported the Finance Department is currently working on a Request for
Proposal for new finance software. The city has been saving for the new software for about five
years. There is a possibility funds from the State’s CARES Act could be used to pay for the new
software.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Budget Summary Operating Expenditures Report. The Arts
Department and the Romance Theater are low in expenditures; however, most of the construction
expense for the theater will be processed in the next fiscal year. The expense forecast for Rexburg
Rapids is indicating an operating loss of about $50,000. There will be a savings in utilities of about
$12,000 this year for Rexburg Rapids. He said considering the pool was not opened to full capacity
the savings in utilities was significant.
Finance Officer Nielson mentioned the Street Repair Contracts expenses are high at 418% due to
carry over from last year and the many street projects being completed this year.

5
Council Member Mann questioned the 74% in the State Taxes and Grants Funds. Finance Officer
Nielson explained the reason that fund is low is due to a pending payment.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Cash and Investments Report. There has been a decrease in
the total amount of the city’s investment due to street projects being completed. He said he found a
municipal bond for the Twin Falls Library and the city purchased about $600,000 of that bond. The
return on the bond is about 80 base points which is a substantial amount.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Treasurer’s Expenditure Report. The revenues for the Golf
Course Operations continue to be strong. He is forecasting a profit of about $15,000 at Teton Lakes
Golf Course; however, there will be an operating loss at the Legacy Municipal Golf Course of about
60 to 70 thousand dollars. There was a lot of capital projects completed for both golf courses this
fiscal year.
Finance Officer Nielson mentioned the Sanitation Reserves are slightly over one million dollars.
He said city staff has met with the Western Recycling regarding the city’s recycling program. After
much discussion between the parties, they have decided to continue with the city’s recycling
program. They determined the curbside program is the best way to capture most of the recyclable
material.
Council Member Wolfe asked if the changes to the contract for the golf courses increased the
revenues. Finance Officer Nielson explained the increase in revenues will depend on the Golf Pro
position. If the original proposal is present at the Golf Board and they recommended it to City
Council and the proposal passes the city would receive about $19,000 additional funds. There will
still be some negotiation with the original proposal.

2. Investment Policy Changes
Deputy Finance Officer Miller reviewed the city’s Investment Policy Changes and explained the
Cash and Investment Relationships graph.
Deputy Finance Officer Miller explained the recommended percentage changes and clarified even
though the percentage for most of the investments will be changed to 100 percent doesn’t mean the
city will invest 100 percent in those investments.

Deputy Finance Officer Miller reviewed the recommended verbiage changes in the investment
policy.

Mayor’s Report:

Community Development Block Grant in the amount of $225,000 for Improvements to Rexburg
Nature Park

process to apply for a Community Development Block Grant from the Idaho Department of
Commerce. When applying for a block grant two public hearings are required. The initial public
hearing is to allow the public to comment or question how the grant funds will utilized. If the grant
is awarded to the city a second public hearing is required to inform the citizens how the funds are
being utilized.
Mr. Miller said he and city staff met to review the city’s 10 year Park Plan to identify the highest
priorities for the city’s parks. They identified that the restroom facilities at Nature Park need to be
replaced and there needs to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) connectivity within the park.
He is going to apply for $225,000, the maximum amount of funds allowed for city parks. The grant
will assist with the funding of two unisex restrooms, ADA connectivity, ADA parking, repairs to
shelters, drinking fountains and benches. The total budget for the project is about $322,000. If the
grant is awarded to the city, it will cover $225,000 of the expenses, the city will cover about $27,000
and the remainder of the cost will be through in-kind work completed by city. The grant application
due date is Monday, September 21st and if the city is awarded the grant he will be notified by the end
of November.
10
Mr. Miller mentioned if the grant is awarded, an environmental study will be conducted which
could take about 60 to 90 days to complete. The city should be able to begin construction next
spring. He said the city is eligible to apply for the grant through the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development because of the city’s low to moderate income levels.
