The area where the ice-skating rink is going to be located during the winter months is being smoothed out and the area looks better. The deck on the club house is complete and solar panels were placed on the roof of the club house. The panels are charged and working so they hope to see a decrease in the electrical bill.

Mr. Randall began presenting the final rebranding information. / / Mr. Randall explained it took about eight weeks to complete the brand guide. The committee that assisted with the branding background consisted of City Department Supervisors and city staff. They provided the community’s background and information which helped to fast forward the branding process and products. / / Mr. Randall said a logo and colors of the brand is everything we experience with an entity or organization that creates an impression. The brand can be managed with digital assets; however, there is also setting the expectation and culture of the brand. The premise and the foundation of this rebranding document is a community of families. Where every citizen is part of the Rexburg family, and everyone is welcomed. He reviewed the details of what inspired the logo. / / Mr. Randall reviewed the mission statement and values of the Rexburg Community. / / / / / / Mr. Randall reviewed the brand system and provided guidelines. He said he can provide assistants to city staff so the brand stays true to form and he can assist with the trademark.

As garbage cans and street signs wear out, they will be replaced with the new logo. When budget allows other items will be replaced. Finance: – Matt Nielson Financial Reports Finance Officer Nielson said he is only reviewing the Cash and Investment Balance Report tonight because there are several weeks of year-end adjustments needing to be processed. The current expenditures and revenues report does not reflect those adjustments. / Finance Officer Nielson explained the $39,394,713 might seem like a lot of money; however, at the end of the year there are many withdrawals because there are less revenues being collected. The check runs are between one million and one and a half million dollars due to the expenditures that is the amount being spent about every 15 days. They Finance Department has been aggressive on the reinvestments, so they have been looking at the timing of the capital improvement projects. They have tried to latter the investments in the 12-to-24-month reinvestments. The rates have increased in these investments to about 4%. Budget in Brief Review Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the 2023 Budget in Brief. / / Mayor Merrill mentioned the water rates drecreased slightly. / / / / Mayor Merrill asked for clarification regarding the transfers. Shouldn’t the transfers already be included in the different funds? Finance Officer Nielson explained there are about 72 accounts that money is transferred between these funds. The problem is there are sometimes two revenues for one revenue; for example, last year the city received a grant for fiber and the funds were put into the general fund that's a revenue. He transferred the funds out of the general fund creating an expense. Then those funds are transferred into a fiber construction fund, and it becomes revenue. When the funds are spent it creates an expense, so the revenue is being shown twice from the budgeting perspective. / / / Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the city’s Debt Service and Property Taxes. / / Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Property Tax City Comparisons. / / Finance Officer Nielson said additional budget information is found in the utility newsletter and on the city’s website at https://www.rexburg.org/finance/page/budget-reports. Budget Adjustment and Approval for Lexipol Software for Police Department – Chief Rhodes Finance Officer Nielson said the Police Department needs software for their policy handbook or standard operating procedures. They did some research and felt the Lexipol Software would work for liability purposes. The software also has some efficiencies that would be good for the Police Department. Council Member Erickson expressed his frustration that the expense for the new software was not included in the budget. He asked for the Police Department staff to review their budget to make sure these types of items are in the budget. Council Member Johnson asked for the reason why the software expense was not in the budget. Finance Officer Nielson said the prior management felt like they could maintain the procedures in house; however, their administrator had difficulty keeping up with the changes exposing the city to potential liability. / Council Member Erickson moved to approve the Budget Adjustment and Approval for Lexipol Software for the Police Department; Council Member Flora seconded the motion; Mayor Merrill asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council Member Flora none Council Member Johnson Council Member Chambers Council Member Erickson Council Member Walker Council President Busby The motion carried Building & Public Works Presentation of City Works Asset Management and PLL Process and Procedures – Bret Stoddard, Faron Young, and Keith Davidson Building Official Bret Stoddard reviewed the permitting, land use and licensing in the Cityworks Software program. The Cityworks Software and the GIS program are integrated. He introduced Faron Young the Cityworks Administrator. Administrator Young works for the Public Works Department assisting in asset management and the Building Department. Administrator Young said city staff has completed a lot of work over the past 10 years, and they have built a partnership with Cityworks using their software. / / Adminstrator Young reviewed the Cityworks Asset Management System (AMS). / Building Official Stoddard reviewed the Cityworks implementation milestones. / Building Official Stoddard reviewed the Building Permit Dashboard, it shows the current activity of Permits for approximately the last 2 years. The portal has over 75% external usage that reduces overall staff time with data entry. Building Official Stoddard said the Public Portal can be accessed at www.apply.Rexburg.org, and is the online experience for contractors, homeowners, etc. to apply for permits, and request land use changes. The applicants can view the following: workflow progress and stay up to date on their permit, they can upload plans, download a report of there permit progress, and now make payments on the portal. / / Building Official Stoddard said DigEplan is integrated with Cityworks and allows us to move away from requiring three sets of paper plans to digital plans. City Staff has been able to digitally mark and communicate revisions and approvals on the plan set and those changes are all communicated via the portal and automated emails. A digital stamped approval plan is made available to the contractors. The design professionals have appreciated this digital process. Administrator Young reviewed the Asset Management part of the software. He focused on a few of the Public Works Department processes. With integration of Cityworks and GIS, they can take a simple sewer line inspection like the one symbolized on the map based on when a sewer line was inspected by a camera, or when it was last cleaned. They can even create a link from the map to the inspection and access the attached camera video or camera report. / / Administrator Young said when the treatment plant work activities were implemented into Cityworks, city staff had to first start by adding all the critical assets into GIS. They took the extra step to include the layout of the building plans to help identify the treatment plant assets that helps new hires become acquainted with where all the equipment is located from their iPad. Now, every morning the plant inspections are queued up and ready for the plant operators to complete their equipment inspections and collect the required information as part of the inspection. This is all done now on an iPad, not entered on some sheet, then added to the daily log, and spreadsheet. Administrator Young said the Water Department has almost a seemingly numberless amount of work to continue to maintain the city’s Water System. The dashboard shown in the slide below is one of the ways they keep the focus on some key maintenance priorities, comparing the progress of each year against how the department did in previous years. / / Administrator Young reviewed the Sanitation Department processes in Cityworks. The map on the left in the slide below indicates all the garbage dumpsters in the city and tracks the sanitation drivers individual schedules. He was able to balance the routes between the 3 drivers for greater efficiency. He was asked by Public Works Director Davidson to take a more granular approach by looking at the stops along the route to find better efficiencies and other route issues. This year he took a similar approach looking at the Residential Garbage Can Pickup Schedule, which is the map on the right in the slide below. He mapped all the green and black garbage cans in the City and with this information he balanced out the routes for the residential driver. The new route changes will go into effect November 14th. He will be updating the city’s online map/app, providing printed maps, sending letters to impacted homes, and utilize social media as well. Administrator Young reviewed the Streets Department and the Vehicle Shop processes in Cityworks. The Street Crews start each day by completing a work order indicating what work they did that day and where. He also setup a Street Light Outage App for the Police Department so they can easily report any street light issues. He setup the shops work order system so that historical jobs are easy to pull up for a specific vehicle and easily find part numbers that they need. After working with all these departments so closely and seeing all the work that they do, he has developed a greater appreciation for what they do. Often times, the hard work and effort these individuals perform goes unseen; however, whether heat, rain or snow, they get the job done and keep the city running. / / Building Official Stoddard said the City of Rexburg was recognized in the Cityworks blog/newsletter. Cityworks also produced a marketing video highlighting the City of Rexburg and its employees. / / Building Official Stoddard mentioned Cityworks is recognizing the city at a conference in December in Salt Lake City. He reviewed the process they plan to implement in Cityworks. / / Council Member Flora asked for a Cityworks process to be created for the Parks Department such as a maintenance schedule. Administrator Young said city staff is in the process of creating a map for each of the city parks and a list of amenities for each park. He will create a work order system and safety inspection process in Cityworks for the Parks Department. Public Works: - Justin Beard Idaho Transportation Department Project Development Agreement for Rapid Flash at the Intersection of 2nd West and 5th South City Engineer Beard reported the city applied for a grant to replace the old rapid flash at the intersection of 2nd West and 5th South. The estimated cost of this project is about $48,000. The city’s share will be about 7.34% which is about $3,523. Council Member Chambers moved to approve the Idaho Transportation Department Project Development Agreement for Rapid Flash at the Intersection of 2nd West and 5th South; Council Member Johnson seconded the motion; Mayor Merrill asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council Member Flora none Council Member Johnson Council Member Chambers Council Member Erickson Council Member Walker Council President Busby The motion carried Wastewater Headwork Engineering Consultant Selection City Engineer Beard reported on the Wastewater Treatment Plant Headworks project. He submitted a Request for Proposal for the design of the headworks to engineering consultants. The city received three proposals from the following engineering firms: Aqua Engineering, Bowen Collins & Associates, and Keller Associates. The Selection Committee recommended Aqua Engineering as the engineering consultant for the Headworks project. One of the reasons they recommend Aqua Engineering is due to the firm’s operational knowledge of the wastewater plant. They have completed many of the pervious upgrades to the plant. They have also worked on other treatment plants in the country. Council Member Flora moved to approve Aqua Engineering as the Engineering Consultant for the Wastewater Headwork Project; Council President Busby seconded the motion; Mayor Merrill asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council Member Flora none Council Member Johnson Council Member Chambers Council Member Erickson Council Member Walker Council President Busby The motion carried Surplus of fire hydrant tops, server tower, projectors, plywood, table, and chairs City Engineer Beard reviewed the surplus items.

City Engineer Beard said the sun sometimes blinds the light sensors; however, he will report the issue to the Idaho Transportation Department. Council President Busby reported the speed indicator by the Burton Elementary School is not working. He wondered who is responsible for making sure it works. Council Member Flora said the speed indicator belongs to the city. Council President Busby mentioned some of the traffic light signal boxes are crooked and wondered if they could straighten them out. City Engineer Beard said the city received a grant to replace the signal boxes throughout the city and will ask from them to be installed straight. Information Technology: - Todd Smith 1. Broadband Project Update IT Director Smith gave a status report of the Broadband Project. They have passed the 50% mark of completion. With 54% of the conduit in the ground and 58% of the hand holds in place. They hope to be closer to 60% near completion before the construction season ends this year. He has asked the contractor to focus on installing the conduit on the southern portion of the rig. They will be working in the field east of where University Boulevard curves. The heavy piece of equipment they have been waiting for to bore around hard lava rock arrived. They were boring under the canal where 5th West crosses University Boulevard and hit dense blue lava rock the hardest lava rock in that one spot. They are trying to bore through 500 feet of ground with this dense lava rock. He said if the weather permits, they will complete the south fiber ring and move up to the north side. / *New Item* Contractor Bid Acceptance for Fiber Hut Site Work and Placement IT Director Smith reviewed the bids received for the site preparation work they are completing for the fiber huts. Some of the work includes pouring a concrete pad, unloading the huts, and securing them to the pad. He recommended Edstrom Construction be awarded the low bid. / Council Member Erickson moved to approve the low bid of $97,500 from Edstrom Construction for the Fiber Hut Site Preparation and Placement; Council Member Flora seconded the motion; Mayor Merrill asked for a vote: Those voting aye Those voting nay Council Member Flora none Council Member Johnson Council Member Chambers Council Member Erickson Council Member Walker Council President Busby The motion carried Recreation: - Jeff Crowther Discussion and recommendation of The Zone Lease and the direction of Recreation moving forward Recreation Director Crowther reviewed the current programs, facilities, and events offered by the City’s Recreation Department. They are currently not offering any teenage recreation programs. The current recreation programs are geared towards four- to twelve-year-olds. He recommended adding teenage programing. / / / Recreation Director Crowther reviewed the net profit and loss and the increase in cost for events, programs, and facilities. There are a lot more subsidy for the facilities and more expenses. // / Recreation Director Crowther reviewed the proposed increases for some of the recreation programs in the chart below. The chart also indicates the average costs other cities are charging for the same recreation programs. / Recreation Director Crowther reviewed the Zone calendar. The following sport leagues use the Zone to practice: Adult Women’s Volleyball League 5 Different Soccer Groups Teton River Disc Golf League Youth Indoor Soccer Camp Adult Cornhole League/Tournament Recreation Director Crowther said he found information on the national average of subsidies for Recreation Departments. He was able to find valuable information; however, the NRPA did not have everything he was looking for to compare. For example, the Operating Revenues were not broken down into art, parks, golf, and recreation; the programs are lumped in as a total. He reviewed the revenue received for the City of Rexburg per capita is $22.10 per person. Council Member Flora asked if the revenue includes the funds the city puts in plus the fees. Finance Officer Nielson replied, it only includes the hard revenue. Recreation Director Crowther continued to review the Operating Expenses and national average comparisons. The city recreation is under the national average in subsidy. The subsidy is $9.40 per capita for all the different services the city Recreation Department offers. The $9.40 per capita subsidy includes the proposed full-time employee position. / / Recreation Director Crowther reviewed the list of recreation programs being cut and then possibly looking to add Youth Flag Football. Council President Busby asked, what will happen to the equipment used for the Foamy 5k? Recreation Director Crowther replied the equipment is going to be used for the Summer Kick Off Event and at Rexburg Rapids. There are organizations that may want to rent the equipment. / Recreation Director Crowther said the lease agreement for the Zone is about to expire. He questioned if it is feasible for the city to continue leasing the Zone. The following programs use the Zone: Kidsburg, Women’s Volleyball and Youth Indoor Soccer. These programs will need to find a new facility to operate out of as of April of 2023, when the lease ends. Council Member Flora mentioned the Bodifi Gym owner said they are adding a large indoor football/soccer field with a track around it so maybe city staff could contact the owner to see if the area could be rented out for the city’s youth soccer camp. Council Member Johnson expressed her concerns about Kidsburg not having a facility to continue to operate out of if the lease is not renewed for the Zone. Recreation Director Crowther explained he has some uncertainty of not being able to find an alternative location for the Kidsburg. He believes the community needs the type of service Kidsburg provides. Recreation Director Crowther said he hopes at one point to provide teenage recreation programs because currently there are no programs offered to this age group. He believes this age group would benefit from having programs geared towards them. Mayor Merrill asked Museum Curator Alisha Tietjen if there is sufficient room at the Tabernacle to house Kidsburg. Curator Tietjen replied there is not sufficient room at the Tabernacle to house Kidsburg. Council Member Johnson said she disagrees with the termination of the contract for the Zone because of Kidsburg. She understands the programs held at the Zone may have flaws; however, at this time there is not another location available for these programs. Kidsburg provides mothers with young children a place to participate in activities during the winter months. Mayor Merrill said Council Member Johnson’s concerns are valid even though Kidsburg did not generate a lot of revenue, it did generate a lot of participation. Council President Busby asked if the contract for the Zone could be on a month-to-month basis. Finance Officer Nielson said the Zone contract expires in December and moves to month-to-month in January until April. When city staff renegotiates the lease contract, the rates will increase. Council Member Flora explained when the city took over the Zone; it was more of an experiment to create an indoor recreation center. The difficulty has been that the Zone was not originally set up to be successful. The Zone patrons must go through the Development Workshop’s work area to use the restroom, which is not safe. The indoor soccer field was less than desirable. She believes there is a good possibility, the Bodifi Gym owner would allow the city to rent the soccer field in their facility. She would prefer to lease a better facility to accommodate programs held at the Zone. Mayor Merrill said he is not as concerned with finding an alternative location for the programs held at the Zone as he is of finding a location for Kidsburg. Recreation Director Crowther said he recommends city staff negotiate the Zone lease. Council Member Walker suggested negotiating a lease for the Kidsburg space only and not for the sports programs held there. Council Member Chambers said apart from negotiating a contract lease for Kidsburg; there could be an issue of not having sufficient staff to operate and organize the other programs. Recreation Director Crowther said there was a lot of discussion regarding the reasons why he is asking for an additional employee. The additional employee would allow the Recreation Department to add teenage programs and they would not have to cut out some of the programs they mentioned. He said if Kidsburg continues to operate, they might not be able to take on Flag Football due to staffing. Finance Officer Nielson asked for clarification regarding the lease of the Zone. The lease of the zone is a six-figure subsidy. Council Member Erickson said he would prefer a month-to-month lease to be negotiated after the current lease agreement expires. Item for Consideration: Yellowstone Heights Condo Plat Approval Extension #20-00899 – Alan Planning and Zoning Administrator Parkinson explained the Councilmembers have already approved the plat; however, the developer has six months to file, record and return the plat to the city. The developer has been negotiating with the developer of Kenneth Square in determining the responsible party to build out the road. They completed their negotiations; however, the six-month deadline is tomorrow. The Yellowstone Heights Condo developer submitted a formal extension request.
