RE: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MODIFICATION
Comprehensive Plan Modification
John presented several maps to the Council reflecting the Comprehensive Plan as it presently
exists, one showing proposed changes that have been before Planning & Zoning, and the third
map showing the Comprehensive Plan if all changes are approved.
This has not been to Public Hearing before Planning & Zoning so this is just to bring the Council
up to date on what is being reviewed. John reviewed each of the potential changes on the map,
including the areas around the Business Park, Salem Highway, near Sunset Circle, South of the
old Broulims Store, Birch Plaza, an area contiguous to Highway 20, and an area south purchased
from Jensen Farms by Hawkins Companies of Boise.
RE: UPDATE ON PROJECTS
John reported that most of the projects have shut down for the winter. Due to the dire need for
drying beds at the Wastewater Treatment Plant part of one was paved yesterday, but due to the
weather they may not be able to start back up immediately.
The Water Shop will move into their new facility this week . The only other item is the traffic
signal on Salem Road near the ARTCO intersection, the poles are scheduled to be shipped

In consideration of a real estate matter Donna made a motion to go into Executive Session,

RE: TTEST PROPOSAL
The Mayor reviewed the proposal that had been before City Council a couple of weeks ago
concerning Ttest, a new company interested in moving their business to Rexburg. Paul reviewed
th e proposal:
Ttest Proposal
On behalf of the City of Rexburg, this proposal is set forth for discussion
purposes only, and would understandably require some refinement and supplementation
prior to being adequate for finalizing any agreements. To that end, the following issues
are presented.
1. Title to the entire parcel (approximately 4.6 acres) would be transferred to Ttest or its
parent corporation, having four phases of development delineated, and with the liens back
to the benefit of the City conditioned on future events occurring relative to the 4 phases.
A. Within one year of the transfer, Ttest would have to be
under construction for the first phase in order to maintain title to not
only the 1st phase portion of the property, but to all phases.
B. Within four years of the original transfer to Ttest, phase two would
have to be underway in order to maintain title to phase 4. If no
action has been undertaken to expand into phase two, all property associated with
phase 4 would revert back to the City.
C. Within seven years of the original transfer to Ttest, the next applicable phase
would have to be under construction, or all property associated with the highest
remaining phase would again revert back to the City.
D. Within ten years of the original transfer to Ttest, the final remaining phase has
not been started, title to all property associated with un-developed property
transferred originally, shall revert back to the City.
2. All utilities provided by the City of Rexburg to their customer base, such as water,
sewer, and storm drainage shall be brought to a point adjacent to the subject property,
with all front foot fees and hookup fees being waived. All other use fees and rates would
be as currently set forth, or as may from time to time be amended for all customers of
similar nature within the City.
3. Developments of the roadway known as Profit Street could be postponed until such
time as phase 2 of the development was undertaken, at which time, Ttest would be
responsible for extending Profit Street from its current location to a point where it would
connect with the projected or existing Dividend Drive.
4. There would be no waiver of current zoning regulations and applicable covenants
associated with the location under discussion.
Paul made a motion to take the proposal to Ttest and contingent upon acceptance of the proposal
the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the proper contracts accordingly. Donna made a
second to the motion, all voted aye, none opposed.
Clair Boyle, MEDCO, Director, thanked the Council for stepping forward with this proposal and
for the work everyone has done to accomplish this including the efforts of John, Val and Richard.
Nyle made a motion to pay the bills, seconded by Glen. All voted aye, none opposed.
2
Nyle reported on the Tabernacle Committee concerning minor repairs, lights needing to be
changed, a gate repaired that was pulled from a wall. He questioned if the shop crew could help
with those repairs, John will take care of that.
Discussion concerning the process of having street lights installed in specific places in town.
Glen made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Nyle, all voted aye, none opposed.
