1. Form Based Code Budget Adjustment – Scott Johnson
Economic Development Director Johnson said City Staff has met with MGB+A to discuss their
proposal to complete the Form Based Code for the city. The expense for the work completed by
MGB+A will be funded from the Planning and Zoning budget.
Council Member Flora asked if the reason why the city asked MGB+A to complete the Form
Based Code is due to the city not having a City Planner at this time. Economic Development
Director Johnson explained MGB+A would still be involved to ensure general provisions, other
standards, and revisions are included in the code.
Council Member Busby questioned the type of work the cost of the proposal will include.
Economic Development Director Johnson explained some of the key pieces of public space are
landscape standards, arbor plan, lighting plans, etc. and how they interact with Form Based Code.
The proposal is an in depth collaboration between the City of Rexburg and MGB+A to integrate
those pieces into the code.
Council Member Mann asked if a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to other firms.
Economic Development Director Johnson said an RFP was not issued to other firms because there
are very few firms that work with both sides of the proposal for Form Based Code. Economic
Development Director Johnson said MGB+A has worked with the city on the Center Street project
and had a role in the City’s Park Plan.

meetings between city staff and MGB+A personnel. Economic Development Director Johnson said

Budget. The funds are available from the savings of not having a City Planner for over six months.

-3-
Council Member Busby asked if the funds for the Budget Adjustment are coming from the Park
Impact Fees. He questioned the amount for funds that would remain in the Park Impact Fund to
maintain the city parks. Finance Officer Nielson replied around $500,000. would remain in the Park
Impact Fund. Mayor Merrill explained the park maintenance costs come from a different fund.
Finance Officer Nielson mentioned the project will go out to bid in early fall.

3. Review Utility Rate Increases/Decreases & Set Public Hearing
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the budget amendments. The amendments include changes
from the beginning of the year to current. The general fund went up $42,900. for a variation of
items. The total contingency amount of $160,000. was used on various items; however, the majority
of the funds were used for the new heating and cooling system at the Romance Theater. There were
several grants the city received that caused an increase in revenues. Finance Officer Nielson said the
Emergency Services had a Budget Adjustment of $45,000 for their share of the diesel fuel station.
The Water Operation Fund had an amendment of $1,226,000. for the expansion of the Department
-4-
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) projects; however, the costs will be offset with the revenues from
the DEQ loan. The Wastewater Operations had a reduction in costs of $1,160,000 because the
gravity line project was pushed back. There were items added and subtracted from the Park Impact
Fee Capital Fund.
Finance Officer Nielson continued to review the budget amendments. The Romance Theater has
an amendment for the increased scope of the HVAC system. The Water Capital Construction had
an increase due to the construction side of the DEQ projects. There was an increase to the Street
Repair Fund and the Street New Construction. The street repair had the carryover from the 2nd E.
project and Local Improvement District (LID) project. The New Street Construction, Urban
renewal is planning to fund the round-about on 7th S. and the railroad crossing; however, these
projects were pushed back a year. The Golf Course had several capital items added to the budget.
Madison County will pay half of the cost of the amendment which is about $30,000.
Finance Officer Nielson said the LID Construction Funds increased due to the scope of the LID
project instead of the project expenses being between $800,000 to one million dollars the actual
costs were about 1.6 million dollars. The LID Debt Services account had a slight increase and so did
the Rexburg Cultural Arts Fund.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the percentage of the budget spent in each of the following
categories: The city spent 58% in Public Works, 7% is Administration Overhead, 4% in the Building
Department and Planning and Zoning, 12% for Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts, 20% in Police
and Fire Emergency Services.

and to set a Public Hearing date for August 7th City at 7:00 P.M; Member Flora seconded the

The motion carried
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the 2020 Utility Rate increases. He started with the Inflation
graph because inflation is what drives the increases. The Construction Cost Indexes indicate an
average increase of about 3.17% in the five year average and 2.97% in the last 12 months. The Cost
of Living for 2020 is estimated at 2.97%. These are some of the drivers that really affect the rates.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Water increases. The interest costs for the DEQ loan were
added in the increases. When considering the Water Reserves, the Mayor and City Staff are
comfortable with the city taking 65% of the increases because the city can borrow at 1.75% from the
DEQ loan.
-7-
Finance Officer Nielson continued to review the causes for the increases in the water rates. The
personnel expenses have increased by 20.58% in the last two years in part because of the salary
study. The salary study indicated the water salaries were below the average wage and for fiscal year
2020 there is a request to add a full-time position.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the garbage rates. City Staff’s recommendation is to reduce the
garbage rates. The tipping fees have not changed over the last 10 years. He contacted the recycling
company and they did not foresee an increase in their fees for a few years. The city is currently
negotiating a contract with the recycling company. The revenues are in a favorable position and even
with the rate decrease the revenues should still increase. The city has purchased three new garbage
trucks in the last two years so the city has a well-established fleet. He reviewed the estimated rate
reduction for the different garbage containers and calculated 28% of the city’s garbage revenues are
collected from the 90 gallon container with the majority of the revenues coming from high volume
users.
-8-
Council Member Busby questioned the cost for the recycling program and asked if it would be
more cost effective to discontinue the recycling program. Mayor Merrill explained the recycling
program saves the city money on the tipping fees; however, there are expenses for the recycling
program.
Discussion regarding the recycling program, 11% of the items put in the recycling bins are non-
recyclable. Finance Officer Nielson said the city pays Western Recycling $292,000. per year to pick
up the recyclables. Council Member Busby asked if the large recycling container is still available at
the Albertson’s parking lot for the residents to put their recyclable items in. Finance Officer Nielson
replied the recycling container is still available at the Albertson’s parking and is picked up by BYU-
Idaho University.
Council Member Mann said he believes his neighborhood is in favor of the recycling program;
however, every resident should be aware of the expenses for the program.
Council Member Wolfe questioned the feasibility of decrease the garbage rates or if it would be
wise to keep the rate as is for unforeseen costs. Council Member Flora asked about the cost for a
new garbage truck. Finance Officer Nielson explained the cost for a new truck would be between
$280,000 and $300,000. If a new garbage route was to be added he would not recommend a
reduction because a new route would require a new driver and garbage truck. The Sanitation
Department has been able to handle the growth with the current personnel and equipment.
Council Member Mann expressed his concerns with the possibility of having to raise the garbage
rates at a higher percentage in the future to offset the recommended reduction. He would also prefer
to replace some of the older garbage containers and have them look more professional with a city
logo.
Council Member Busby said he has noticed some of the garbage containers full of snow in the
winter. He asked if the added weight from the snow increases the tipping fees. Public Works
Director Davidson replied yes, the additional weight is charged in the tipping fees. Council Member
Busby said he has also noticed a lot of the garbage containers don’t have lids and asked if the city is
responsible for replacing the lids. Public Works Director Davidson replied yes the city is responsible
for replacing the lids on the garbage containers.
-9-
Finance Officer Nielson mentioned the calculations for the garbage rates last year indicated a
reduction in rates and the rates were not decreased. The calculations this year also indicates a
reduction in rates.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Wastewater increases. The costs for wastewater treatment
are broken down between treatment and collections. He also has to determine the wastewater costs
for Sugar City and Teton and expenses that they are not a part of cause the calculations to become
complex. After, making the determinations and calculations for Sugar/Teton’s treatment and
Rexburg‘s treatment the costs calculate to $2.54 per 1000 gallons. Rexburg’s collection only is an
additional $.49. Sugar and Teton will not have to pay the $.49 because they have their own charge
for their collection lines. He also had to separate the K-Mart lift station power and repair costs to
give Sugar/Teton an idea of how much they are paying to use the lift station’s lines. The Rexburg
Capital Treatment costs are only paid by Rexburg residents. The bulk of the expenses for treatment
include the bond that is being paid back. The bond includes the depreciation for collections and
treatment.
Finance Officer Nielson said City Staff is recommending a zero percent increase for Sugar City
and Teton for treatment expenses. The Rexburg cost for volume is going up .66% or $.03 and the
base fee for Rexburg will go up to $16.12 from $15.70. The city’s reserves will decrease when the
gravity line is replaced next year.
Finance Officer Nielson mentioned there are other projects scheduled for the wastewater
treatment plant such as a million dollar budget item for the blowers.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the causes for the increases in Wastewater Rates.
-10-
Council Member Busby questioned the Rexburg Capital treatment expenses and the bond the
city is paying. Finance Officer Nielson said the bond paid for two main items to address a
maintenance issue and to add capacity to the treatment plant. The City of Rexburg owns 100% of
the added capacity. Sugar City and Teton should not be charged because they did not receive added
capacity. If these two cities need added capacity, they are going to need to purchase the added
capacity.
Mayor Merrill asked if the depreciation funds go back into the Capital Reserve Fund. Finance Officer
Nielson said the funds go into the Operation Reserves; however, if the funds need to be transferred to a
construction project that is possible.
Council Member Busby expressed concern with Rexburg residents paying more for sewer charges than
Sugar City and Teton. Finance Officer Nielson explained to be able to compare the rates charged to
Rexburg residents and the other cities they would need to determine what they are actually paying for in the
rate.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Utility Bill Sample that indicates the increases on an average bill.

Council Member Flora moved to approve the Public Hearing on August 7th at 6:45 P.M. for the
Utility Rate Increases/Decreases to be effective October 1st, 2019; Council Member Busby seconded
the motion; Mayor Merrill asked for a vote:

The motion carried
Finance Officer Nielson said City Staff will need to meet with Sugar City and Teton to review the
contract information. The graph below indicates the usage of wastewater for Sugar City and Teton.
In 2018 Sugar City used 56% of their pre-capitalized amount and Teton was using about 64%. The
plant capacity in 2011 was 3.6 million gallons per day. In 2017 the capacity was 5.4 million gallons
per day.
Finance Officer Nielson explained last year the city increased Sugar City and Teton’s rate by
8.75%. The reason for the increase was for hauling the bio-solids to the land fill; however, the
hauling fees weren’t being used as much as they had anticipated. The city spent about $11,500 in
hauling fees last year. This year the estimated amount the city will spend in hauling fees is $40,000.
for fiscal year 2019 and 2020. He said instead of lowering Sugar/Teton’s rate because the hauling
fees decreased, he increased their payback amount on the Capital Maintenance.
-13-
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Calculated Payback for Sugar City/Teton City. In 2009 the
City of Rexburg started charging Sugar/Teton depreciation or capital maintenance expenses. The
first year the cost was $53,000 once you add every year after the first year the costs increase a
substanial amount and with Sugar City only paying 10% and Teton paying 2% of the capital
maintenance; it’s going to take about 18 years for both cities to pay back their share. In fiscal year
2019 the capital maintenance was calculated at $230,000. and the costs are going up to $300,000. for
fiscal year 2020.
Finance Officer Nieslon said the city is charging Sugar City and Teton for their share of the sewer
plant maintenance costs. He will continue to raise the capital maintenance expenses each year to be
able to collect those costs. Sugar City and Teton will also be responsible to pay their share of the
projected increase in capacity.
-14-
Finance Officer Nielson explained the study JUB Engineering is doing to predict future use of the
sewer line. The sewer line replacement project is estimated to cost about four million dollars, they
will need to determine how to divide the expenses with Sugar City/Teton. There are several ways to
determine the portion each city will pay. Peak flow is one way to determine the proportionate share
per city. He said based on a study that Forsgren Engineers performed in 2017 Sugar City would pay
55.5%, Rexburg, 25.8% and Teton 18.7%. for use of that sewer line. The second way to caluclate the
portion of shares per city would be the actual use. The third way to determine the shares per city
would be a hybrid cost based on 2 hours of peak day. If the city decides to use the hybrid method of
calculating the shares Sugar City would need to pay $1,642,384 and Rexburg would pay $1,688,742.
B. Public Works: - Keith Davidson
1. Nature Park Restrooms Bid Acceptance
-15-
Public Works Director Davidson reported the city did not receive any bids for the construction of
the Nature Park Restrooms. He contacted Big D Construction to determine if they would be
interested in completing the work for the restrooms. Big D Construction said they are interested in
constructing the restrooms for Nature Park. The city will start the negotiation on the costs of the
restrooms with Big D Construction. After those costs are determined, the figures will be presented
to City Council.
Council Member Busby questioned the projected costs for the Nature Park Restrooms. Public
Works Director Davidson said there are many factors that will determine the cost of the restrooms.
The costs for the restrooms at Evergreen Park were about $167,000; however, a water and sewer
line was added that caused the increase in costs.
Public Works Director Davidson reported on the street projects being completed in the city. For
the Local Improvement District project on 2nd North, the paving of the street has started from 2nd
West to the fairgrounds. They will continue to work on the portion starting on 2nd North down to
the Madison Jr. High property and once the curb is installed they will pave that section of street.
They will also be working near the Lincoln Elementary School and the work on Terra Vista will be
completed at the end because they prefer to complete the work near the school’s first. Edstrom
Construction is the company completing the work on the LID.
Public Works Director Davidson said the water tank is being wrapped with metal to reinforce the
walls. They also checked on the cost to paint the shotcrete. The cost to paint the outside of the tank
is about $12,000. The Public Works Department’s recommendation is to not paint the shotcrete
because water running down the tank will cause discoloration and they can’t guarantee the different
sections of shotcrete will be exactly the same color.
Council Member Busby asked if there were any flooding issues with the latest rain storm. Public
Works Director Davidson indicated the system was overwhelmed and there was some flooding near
the hospital, a medical facility off of East Main Street and Ash Street had some flooding. A weather
report indicated .59 inches of rain fall in 15 minutes.
C. Community Development: - Bret Stoddard
Building Official Stoddard reviewed the Building Valuation Report for the month of June. There
are several townhomes being constructed and permits are being issued. There will be a total of 96
townhomes when the project is complete.
Building Official Stoddard mentioned he reviewed some historical data. In 2017 the valuation
report for the entire year was $83,314,000; in 2018 the report indicated $102,281,000 and in the first
six months of 2019 the valuation is at $65,000,000. There has been a lot of growth this year. When
permits are issued there are delays because of the length of the project. He said when determining an
average for the amount of growth and permits being issued it would be better to consider a five year
length of time instead of three years.
Mayor Merrill mentioned the city inspectors are assisting Madison County with their inspections
because one of the county inspectors retired. Building Official Stoddard said the city has been
assisting Madison County with the inspections including the Basic American Foods project.

D. Economic Development: - Scott Johnson
1. Community Block Grant Opportunity Approval – Rick Miller
Economic Development Director Johnson explained the city has been researching how to fund
the improvements on 7th N. and 2nd E. which will cost about four million dollars. The city received
half a million dollars from the Department of Commerce to assist in funding the costs of the
improvements. There is potential grant money from the US Department of Commerce. City Staff
met with one of their representatives and the local Development Company. The potential amount of
grant money the city may receive is three million dollars with a 20% match. City Staff decided to
submit a draft of the project to see if they will approve the project. Mayor Merrill said the
discussions are preliminary at this time; the city may or may not receive the grant money.
Council Member Busby asked if the city is moving forward with the project without the grant
money. Economic Development Director Johnson said the city is considering installing a traffic
signal on 7th N. and still keeping the traffic signal at the intersection of 2nd E. and Highway 33 as a
short term improvement to allow better traffic flow at the interaction of 7th N. and 2nd E.
Mayor’s Report:
Mayor Merrill reported the city is closer to hiring a new City Planner. Council Member Busby
asked if the City Planner candidates have Form Based Planning experience. Mayor Merrill said the
person would have some Form Based Planning experience; however, the study from MGB+A
would still be needed.
Discussion regarding floating the Teton River from the Barney Dairy property to Eagle Park on
kayaks. City Staff is reviewing the possibility of creating accesses to allow people to float the river.
Council Member Mann said the river is an untapped resource for walkways and recreation activities.

Mayor’s Business:
Discussion regarding City Council driving golf cart at the 4th of July Parade.
Council Member Mann mentioned a chalk line will be drawn along the parade route to keep
people back off the street. The people in the parade throwing candy were instructed to throw the
candy back behind the line so the children don’t run up into the street where they can get hurt.
There will also be volunteers on golf carts making sure people are staying behind the chalk line.
