Boyd Berry explained his concerns outlined in his letter he sent to City Council. July 17, 2019 To the Rexburg City Council: I am asking the City of Rexburg to consider some form of regulation relating to mobile food businesses in terms of density and proximity to brick and mortar restaurants. I am Boyd Berry, the owner and manager of the DQ for 31 years. In light of the growth of mobile food vendors, I have some concerns for the future. My concerns do not focus on protection from competition but on respect for facilities and esthetics. Mobile food vendors are becoming popular, both for customers with their specialty menus and for entrepreneurs. This business model is minimal investment, great for someone just starting out with an idea and little money. It also offers flexibility in terms of location and operating schedules. They can position themselves just about wherever and whenever with a land owner’s permission. They offer just the essentials for the customer: food or drink, or treat, maybe some seating, some form of parking, and maybe a porta potty. As owners of brick and mortar restaurants, we invest tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in buildings, parking lots, in-door seating with air conditioning, and bathrooms with flush toilets. We operate year-round, and try to keep our grounds and buildings looking nice; it attracts customers. It enhances the value of the property. It makes the city of Rexburg more beautiful. 35 North 1st East Rexburg, ID 83440 Phone: 208.359.3020 x 2101 Fax: 208.359.3022 deborahl@rexburg.org www.rexburg.org City Council Minutes July 17, 2019 2 Over the last several years I have observed a taco bus and a frozen dessert trailer, Kari Ann’s, rotate in and out of the lot just south of me. Nothing about this seemed unfair or inappropriate. We all see how popular Kari Ann’s has become with regular lines of people forming in the summer months. This year there is a mobile food court next to my DQ with what seems like four to 8 different mobile food vendors coming and going. Dave Thompson who has headed up this operation has tried to be very friendly, cordial, and wants to avoid conflicts. Still, I am basically opposed to the idea of having 4 or 5 mobile food vendors 40 feet from my door, 20 feet from my drive-thru lane. I have heard that next year many more mobile food vendors may locate in the lot south of the DQ, where Kari Ann’s and Padaria’s food trailers are located. The addition of these food trailers this year and the potential of additional trailers for next year causes me concern. To have invested money to make my store look nice and then be surrounded by trailers and tents of all sorts of design and make-up seems like a setting with no regulation, where regulation would be appropriate. I offer facilities like bathrooms and air-conditioned seating, and organized, well-marked parking. Occasionally we find customers with other’s products in our store. This is not a huge concern but it does happen. More often, other vendors customers will come to our store for free ice water; not a huge concern as they see our menu. I’m surprised they can’t even get free water from the food trailers. I have seen numerous times where customers have walked over from Kari Ann’s to our bathrooms, occupying them while both my customers and employees need to use them. In the early years we had to ask Kari Ann’s to not use our trash dumpsters and then, not to have their employees use our bathrooms. They quickly responded to our requests. Customers are more difficult to control. Do your wives and daughters really want to use a porta potty? No business wins customers by policing who can and can’t use the facilities. Up to this year, the situation seemed tolerable and not worth fussing over. With this year’s addition and the potential for next year, I feel a need to point out these issues. The new mobile food court next to the DQ has not had a lot of activity so far, so the use of facilities from their customers does not seem significant as yet. If they do get busy, and more vendors locate to the south, I think the situation will be more than just irritating. How would you feel if you built a nice, big, beautiful house with nice landscaping, and then had a dozen campers and trailers of various conditions come locate right next to the border of your property and stay there for 6 months of the summer? They occasionally use your water, parking, and bathrooms. I know it’s private property these food vendors are located on, but most towns, like this one, have all sorts of zoning rules about housing developments and business zoning. I am asking for some regulations relating to proximity and density of mobile food vendors to brick and mortar restaurants. I realize the city tries to support entrepreneurs. It’s been suggested that allowing the food trailers to sit wherever helps them to grow and eventually go to brick and mortar. I think everybody can see they actually just get more trailers. It’s an attractive business model to have minimal investment and financial obligations, and flexible schedule and location options. What we see in this city is mobile food vendors popping up everywhere possible. I ask for regulation relating to proximity and density of mobile food vendors in relation to brick and mortar restaurants. I am asking for respect for our facilities and the esthetics of our property and buildings. Respectfully, Boyd Berry DQ Owner 3 Council Member Busby questioned the number of mobile food vendors registered with the city this year. Council Member Wolfe indicated he would prefer to discuss the issues brought forth by Mr. Berry at a work meeting with Planning and Zoning. Council Member Mann said he also has concerns with the issues regarding mobile food vendors. City Clerk Lovejoy mentioned there is already a work meeting scheduled for the first City Council Meeting in August to discuss the City’s Park Plan. A work meeting could be scheduled on August 21st or on September 4th. Council Member Busby said he would prefer to have the work meeting on August 21st. Committee Liaison Assignments for 2019: A. Council Member Mann: Golf Board · Emergency Services Board · Development Workshop Council Member Mann reported the Golf Board met to discuss the condition of the golf course and the financial reports for the golf courses. He asked Finance Officer Nielson to report on the new roof that is being installed at the Teton Lakes Clubhouse. Finance Officer Nielson said they received several options for the replacement of the current roof. The material used on the roof is cedar shake with asphalt shingles. The work on the roof will start next week and take about three days to complete. The only disruption to the golf course will be in the parking lot entrance, it will be closed off around the clubhouse. The new cooling unit in the clubhouse has been installed. Council Member Mann reported Emergency Services Board did not meet; however, they did have a great turn out for the Fourth of July Free Breakfast from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Council Member Mann thanked the Mayor and City Staff for adding a chalk line along the Fourth of July parade route. They received great reviews about having the line to keep the children and people back from going into the road. The parade was great with about 90 entries. The Chamber of Commerce and the community hosted Summer Fest this past week. He expressed his appreciation for the support from the city and the community on these events. B.

Chief Turman is working to obtain bids from contractors and he would prefer to keep the expenses for the new façade at a minimum. Staff Reports: A. Finance: - Matt Nielson 1. Finance Reports Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Treasurer’s Expenditure Report. There was a deposit made in the Fire District Fund that should have been deposited into the Ambulance District Fund. The amount of the deposit was for $430,000. The Ambulance District made another payment in the amount of $800,000 both of these payments will help pay the fund’s deficit. The Park Impact Fund had a trasfer of funds for the baseball quad in the amount of about 1.6 million dollars. The funds are set a side ready for when the project starts in a couple of months. He said the balance amount left in the Park Impact Fund is about $300,000 after the fund transfer. Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Water Operations. A request in the amount of 1.8 million dollars from the Department of Enviornmental Quality (DEQ) Loan has not been received. Once the funds are received they will go back into the Water Operations Fund. 5 Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Operating Expenditures Report. The city is nine months into the fiscal year and should be at about 75%. The Arts is showing low at 50%; it does not include the HVAC system invoice the city recently paid. He said after paying the invoices for the HVAC system the fund will be at about 72%. The Planning and Zoning Fund is low at 56% because the City Planner position has not been filled. Rexburg Rapids is 41%; however, the amount will increase as the season progresses. The Police Department is at 73%. In the Public Works section of the report in the Water category; it is slightly lower at 66%. The reason why the Water fund is at 66% is because of the cost of power to pump the water. He said through June the city spends 46% of the cost of power and in the last three months the city spends the rest of the cost for power. Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Operating Revenues. The Operating Contributions are budgeted at about 3.2 million dollars and at 44% collected in revenues; however, after adding the amounts the city recently received from the Ambulance District the percentage will be closer to 71%. The subtotals were at a break-even. In Operations the city is cash flowing about one million dollars; however, the city has reviewed more in revenues on the Capital side. 6 7 Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Cash and Investment Balance Report. The only change in the report is the Certificate of Deposit the city opened at the Bank of Commerce in the amount of about $250,000. B. Public Works: - Keith Davidson 1. Review Proposed Combined Heat and Power System at Rexburg Rapids. Public Works Director Davidson reported city staff was approached by Highland West Energy regarding the opportunity of having one of their heat and power systems installed at Rexburg Rapids. The generator unit produces power off of natural gas; the gas is then used to heat the water. AmmericInn has installed one of Highland’s heat and power systems as well as the YMCA in Boise. The city has reviewed Highland West Energy’s calculations to make sure they were in line with city’s calculations. The payback period would be about 8.7 years. The life cycle of the unit is a 20 year cycle. If the city was to have a unit installed the savings would be about $250,000 over those 20 years. Council Member Busby questioned how they power the system. Public Works Director indicated the system is run by natural gas. Council Member Busby asked if AmmericInn only uses Highland’s system to heat their swimming pool. Mayor Merrill replied AmmericInn uses the system to heat their pool and the water for all the guest rooms at the hotel. Mayor Merrill said he has spoken with the owners of AmmericInn and the Director of the YMCA. They have been pleased with the heat and power system. Council Member Mann asked if there are environmental grants available to fund the system. He also asked how the system will be funded. Mayor Merrill replied there is a savings account for the pool. The city would need to decide on extending the amenities that appeal to an older age group at the pool or install the system. Council Member Wolfe asked if the water at the pool is circulated during the winter months. Public Works Director Davidson explained once the water temperature drops to 32 degrees the pumps turn on to circulate the water. Council Member Wolfe asked if the system could heat the water to extend the season the pool is 8 opened to the public. Public Works Director Davidson said the system doesn’t take away the use of the water boilers. The system maintains the heat in the pool and helps decrease the boiler run times. Council Member Wolfe asked if the system is a more efficient way to run the pumps. Public Works Director Davidson explained the system is more efficient in the sense that the heat is captured without having to use electricity. By not having to use the electricity as much is where the savings are captured. Finance Officer Nielson indicated the heat and power system is a single unit that would primarily run the larger activity pool in the summer; however, the price includes a manual option. Max Egbert the city’s maintenance employee would be able to switch between the pools manually and then in the off season he could use the system for the lazy river periodically because there are some concerns with ice buildup in the lazy river during the winter. When the ice builds up substantially in the lazy river there are concerns with possible damage to the outer liner. Finance Officer Nielson explained the financial aspects of the system. The projected expenses for fiscal year 2019 will be added and he will use the same operating loss for fiscal year 2020. He believes the fund will have around $340,000 to $350,000 in savings. There are a couple of items they will need to consider such as Rexburg Rapids Manager Maegan Scholes has been researching the needed improvements at the pool. The slide tower needs repairs and the slides will need to be gel coated to bring back to standard. These improvements will cost about $191,000 and the cost up front for the system will be about $156,000. The funds in savings will be exhausted with the purchase of the system and improvements needed; it will take about six to ten years to build the savings back to where they are currently. He said adding a pool feature isn’t really an option unless funds are transferred from the general fund or the city could wait longer to add the feature. Council Member Mann said the pool needs to be maintained and there is enough funds to purchase the heating and power system; however, it is going to take a long time to save up enough money for a pool feature because they are really expensive. The funds the system is going to save in electricity could possibly be used to purchase the pool surfer feature. Council Member Busby asked if the system would be an outright purchase. Public Works Director Davidson replied yes the system will be an outright purchase because of the size of the system it will need to go out to bid. Council Member Busby expressed his concerns with the purchase of the heat and power system and it not performing as expected to save costs in electricity. He recalls city staff explaining the process of how methane gas would be produced by the bio-solids in the digesters and how the methane gas would be used to power the pasteurization process. Public Works Director Davidson explained the expectation was to be able to power the pasteurization process with the methane gas; however, the process is dependent on the amount of material going into the digesters to release sufficient methane gas to power the pasteurization process. He said if he were to put the amount of methane gas being released in a tank; it would probably run for a couple of hours and then they would have to switch back to the natural gas to continue to power the pasteurization process. Public Works Director Davidson indicated he understands Council Member Busby’s concerns; however, he and Mayor Merrill visited with the director of the YMCA to make sure the calculations were on track with their forecasted calculations. The YMCA pool is an indoor facility and larger than the city’s pool and they have two system units. Finance Officer Nielson mentioned the maintenance expenses for the system have been added to the total costs and the maintenance agreement is for twenty years which is part of the payback. He said with the new system the boilers at the pool will not be used as frequently. This will hopefully delay the maintenance on the boilers saving the city the cost of the maintenance. The maintenance expenses for the boilers are expensive. Council Member Busby asked if the maintenance agreement covers the costs of replacing the motor. Finance Officer Nielson said the warranty on the equipment is two years; however, the life of the motor is fifteen years if maintained properly. Council Member Busby asked about the cost to replace the motor. Public Works Director Davidson replied the cost to replace the motor is about $15,000. 9 Finance Officer Nielson explained Rexburg Rapid’s staff will be reporting on the items needing repairs or maintenance in August and a budget adjustment will be needed for those costs even though the costs are in the budget. The funds are in contingency, this is the reason a budget adjustment is needed. The proposal to purchase the heat and power system will come before City Council at the same time as the repairs and maintenance items. City Council will need to decide whether or not to move forward with both of these purchases. Council Member Busby expressed his concerns with depleting the fund and not having sufficient funds to cover major repairs if they were to occur and is hesitant to approve both the maintenance/repairs and system at the same time. He mentioned he is in favor of the potential savings the system could save. Finance Officer Nielson said if the fund was to go into a negative balance the fund would pay an interest amount and be back in the positive in about six months. Council Member Busby expressed his concerns with borrowing for another fund and having to payback a loan for many years. Public Works Director Davidson reported the HVAC system has been installed and is working at the Romance Theater on time for the Storytelling Festival. Mayor Merrill asked how long of a warranty is on the HVAC system. Public Works Director Davidson said the warranty is for one year with Big D Construction and then there is another warranty on the equipment. In 11 months city staff will review the workmanship of the HVAC system with Big D Construction. Council Member Wolfe questioned if the construction in front of Lincoln Elementary School will be completed before school starts in August. Public Works Director Davidson explained there have been some delays with the sub-contractor pouring the curb and gutter. City Staff is working with them to try to complete the work before school starts. Council Member Busby asked when the CRAB project on 7th South will begin and if the entire road would be closed down. Public Works Director Davidson replied the work will begin next Wednesday and the entire road will be closed to complete the work more efficiently. Discussion regarding road closures and proper signage. Public Works Director Davidson explained the construction being completed on the Local Improvement District. He said the underground work is being completed before the curb and gutter is poured. Council Member Busby asked if the road construction near Lincoln Elementary includes both water and sewer lines. Public Works Director Davidson said there are water lines going across the road and only service lines for the sewer; however, it came to his attention that a home near that location has experienced flooding several times. A change order request has been submitted to receive pricing to extend the storm water system to capture the storm water that comes off of Mohawk Avenue and then travels across the road. He said if they can capture the water sooner; it will alleviate the flooding that occurs at that home. Discussion regarding the road construction on University and Yellowstone. Public Works Director Davidson said the signal project at that intersection will begin this week. The construction company will prepare the road by chip sealing to remove the old striping. The signal poles will not be ready until November. Council Member Busby questioned if the items being replaced are an arm and stand. Public Works Director Davidson said the southwest corner of the intersection will have a signal pole with a longer arm and the main pole will be replaced. A new foundation will need to be poured for the new pole. The foundation will be installed before the pole arrives in November. Council Member Busby asked if the signal pole can be recycled or used at another location. Public Works Director Davidson said the city will keep the pole to determine if it can be used at another location. Council Member Busby said the railroad crossing on University is in need of repairs because it is uneven. Public Works Director Davidson indicated the railroad’s responsibility is two feet on either side of the railroad track. He will review the track to see if it’s the city’s portion that needs repaired. Council Member Busby mentioned the frost heaves in the Eaglewood Subdivision are extremely notable. Public Works Director Davidson replied he is aware of the situation of the road and there are manholes that need to be adjusted. 10 2. Resolution 2019 – 10 Addendum to the Cooperative Agreement American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Ramp. Public Works Director Davidson reported a Rexburg resident using a wheelchair had an accident on one of the city’s ADA ramps that is on 2nd West and Main Street by the Super 8 Motel. The ADA ramp at that location does not meet current ADA standards. He has been in contact with the Idaho Transportation Department to seek approval to reconstruct the ramps so that it meets ADA specifications. The state approved the city’s requested to reconstruct the ADA ramp at that location. Council Member Busby asked if the new ADA ramp could cause other accidents. Public Works Director Davidson replied the new ADA ramp selected isn’t as steep as the one that is currently installed. The grants received to replace the ADA ramps are strictly for state routes such as Highway 33. The city and state partner to apply for the grants to replace the ADA ramps. Public Works Director Davidson said he is seeking approval for the resolution for the Addendum to the Cooperative Agreement for ADA ramp for state fiscal year 2020.
