Public Comment: not scheduled on the agenda (limit 3 minutes); issues may be considered for
discussion on a future agenda. Please keep comments on point and respectful.
Items from City Council:
Council Member Erickson said the High School State Golf Tournament was held a couple of weeks ago
at the Teton Lakes Golf Course. He heard many positive comments about the condition of the golf course.
Mayor Merrill reported on some of the major construction projects being worked on or completed at Teton
Lakes. The golf crew is building a retaining wall to make the parking lot bigger. There were cement steps
poured to walk down to the course. 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.
Council Member Walker said the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Board met to put together skits about
Halloween safety. They will perform their skits at all the Elementary Schools in Rexburg to the elementary
students. The Board Members will also be hosting the “Sticker Shock” event on November 3rd at 4:00 p.m.
They will be applying stickers to brown paper bags and containers, the liquor store employees use to place
purchased liquor in. The “Sticker Shock” campaign aims to curb underage drinking. Mayor Merrill
encouraged city residents to come to the event and assist the youth in placing the stickers on the containers.
Mayor Merrill said L.A. Comedian Nick Hoff will be performing at the Romance Theater on Saturday at
7:00 P.M and tickets are available to purchase online, they will not be sold at the door. Council Member
Chambers reported the OkTUBERfest 2022 was a success with about 1000 attendees. He mentioned the
“Saints on the Seas” Before the trail, there was the sail, with performances on Thursday, November 3rd and
Monday, November 7th at the Romance Theater. Council Member Flora mentioned she often hears people
say there is not a lot to do in Rexburg when really there are events almost every day. The city events are
advertised on the website www.rexburg.arts.org.
Council Member Flora also mentioned the Urban Renewal Agency Board met today. They had the
opportunity to go around the city to see some of the projects that Urban Renewal has contributed too. They
were explained how those projects have improved the community. The tour was informative and the
information they received regarding future projects was beneficial.
Staff Reports:
A. Economic Development: – Scott Johnson

1. Review and Approval of City of Rexburg Rebranding Project – Shawn Randall
Economic Development Director Johnson reported Shawn Randall is here to present the final brand
guide for the city and is recommending the approval of the rebranding guidelines. 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.
4
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. The combination of the logo is
called trade dress and it is something that is easy to protect, if someone tries to mimic the logo, it can be
defended legally.
5
Mr. Randall reviewed the subtle changes to the city seal.
Mr. Randall reviewed the typography of the new brand guide.
6
Mr. Randall reviewed the color and photography of the new brand guide.

The motion carried
Mayor Merrill mentioned the rebranding process will take two to three years. As garbage cans and street
signs wear out, they will be replaced with the new logo. When budget allows other items will be replaced.
B. Finance: – Matt Nielson
1. 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.
9
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%.
2. 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.
10
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.
3. 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
11
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:

C. 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).
12
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.
13
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.
14
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.
D. Public Works: - Justin Beard
1. 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.

2. 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 Walker asked City Engineer Beard to check the timer on the traffic light on
Yellowstone Highway and University Boulevard because it remains the same for about three cycles during
the evening and early morning. 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.
E. 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.
16
2. *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

F. Recreation: - Jeff Crowther
1. 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.
17
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.
18
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.
19
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:
A. 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
