Roll Call of Council Members:
Attending: Council Member Johnson, Council Member Chambers, Council Member C. Erickson,
Council Member E. Erickson, Council Member Reeser, Council President Walker (via Zoom), and
Mayor Merrill.
Public Continent: Items not on the agenda; limit 3 minutes; issues may be considered for
discussion on a future agenda. Please keep comments on point and respectful.
Lee Barney explained last year at a work meeting, he and Public Works Director Davidson were
tasked to create some alternative transportation plans. He has those preliminary plans; however, a work
meeting has not been scheduled to review his or those of other community member's plans. He is
wondering when a work meeting could be scheduled to review the plans. Mayor Merrill said the
Councilmembers have planned for a transportation meeting after the first of the year. Public Works
Director Davidson added Keller Associates completed the original study, he will contact them to
determine if they are available to attend the transportation work meeting.
Mr. Barney suggested community outreach before the work meeting and not in the form of letters. He
wondered if volunteers could go door to door advertising an open house before the work meeting. At the
open house information regarding transportation could be gathered before the actual work meeting.
Mayor Merrill said the process of gathering information Mr. Lee suggested would be a repeat of what
was done when the transportation plan was completed.
Public Works Director Davidson said additional transportation routes were reviewed during one
of the work meetings. Mr. Lee said those routes are not the same proposed routes that he and Public
Works Director Davidson reviewed. Public Works Director Davidson replied no, they were not the same
routes discussed at the work meeting, those routes were proposed based on development happening
somewhere else; not by the Crest Haven Subdivision.
Discussion regarding dates of when to schedule the transportation plan work meeting, Mayor Merrill
said they will schedule the transportation work meeting on April lath. Council Member E. Erickson
asked for Mr. Barney's proposed transportation plans to be emailed to him to review.
Staff Reports:
A. Human Resources: - Terri Hill
i. Approval of Police Department Pay Schedule Policy Change
Human Resources Director Hill explained she is in the process of changing the timekeeping
system for the Police Department. She reviewed the current overtime compensation highlighted in red
and the new overtime compensation highlighted in blue. She said the current overtime compensation in
the new timekeeping system is causing confusion between the base pay and overtime pay so she
contacted other municipalities, and they suggested moving to a 14-day work period and pay overtime on
excess of 8o hours. There are rules that must be followed when determining overtime compensation.

Human Resources Director Hill said she met with Chief Rhodes, and they reviewed the pros and
cons of going on a 14-day work week. Chief Rhodes explained some of the cons of going on a 14-day
work week. He explained that over the past So years the officers have worked four days on and four
days off with 12-hour workdays. This schedule created two patrol teams so one team would work four
days while the other team is off and then switch. The con is that the employees lose one day of time off
with the new work period, instead of being off four days they will only be off three days.
Chief Rhodes explained the pros of changing to a 14-day work period. It will hopefully eliminate the
confusion between the base pay and overtime pay, making it easier to see overtime compensation in
each pay period. He said with this proposed change they would move to a io-hour shift, four days a
week, with three days off. There would be an overlap when both teams would work together. The
advantage of the overlap would be to create better communication between both teams and schedule
training where all officers receive the same training on the same day. He said another pro is that the
officers would work overtime after 8o hours instead of having to work a full 12-hour shift to reach
overtime hours.
Council Member E. Erickson asked if the new work week would create more overtime hours.
Police Chief Rhodes said he believes it will create less overtime hours because of the overlap day and
when possible, he asks the officers that have overtime to try and lose it before the end of the pay
period. Finance Officer Nielson explained he performed an analysis of the additional straight time pay
for hours worked over 16o and not more than 171 in a 28-day period over the course of several years
and found the average pay in the straight time overtime is about $48,000 a year. He said if the Police
Department did not cut down on overtime the potential additional cost would be about $48,000;
however, if they do manage the overtime the potential costs could be much less.
Council Member C. Erickson commented on his experience in law enforcement. He believes
moving to a io-hour workday is beneficial because working 12 hours decreases productivity. He
believes the chief will be able to manage the overtime hours better. He is concerned about all the
training that is needed for the new police officers and thinks having days when everyone is available
for training will be beneficial. He is also concerned about the switch to salary for the lieutenants
because they might be spending extra hours training the new officers and not be getting compensated
fairly for the extra time. He would like the police chief to be able to review the wages of senior staff
yearly and make adjustments as needed.
Council Member C. Erickson moved to approve the Police Department Pay Schedule
Policy change; Discussion: Council Member C. Erickson indicated that he would like the police
chief to have the option of reviewing senior staff pay at the end of the year to make sure they
are being compensated fairly with the new salary change; Council Member Johnson seconded
the motion; Mayor Merrill asked for a vote:

i. Review Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Calendar
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Calendar. He indicated that he
would like to change the public hearing date from the first meeting in July to the second meeting in
July to give them a little more time with the budget reviews. He asked if anyone had any concerns
about this change. Mayor Merrill has a family vacation scheduled at that time, but it should be okay
because most of the work is already done by then and President Walker can lead the public hearing.

Finance Officer Nielson commented that the Council Drive -around is scheduled for April 26th so
council members will need to let him know if that day will not work for them. Council Member
Johnson and Council Member Chambers cannot attend the drive around if scheduled on April 26th
because of conflict. April loth works for everyone so they will plan on doing the Council Drive -around
on April loth.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed some increases to the budget to be aware of. He indicated that
the current trending numbers for the Cost -of -Living Adjustment are looking to be 3.2%. PERSI
reduced the general rate last year and it will go back up in July 2024 so there will be an increase to
both the employee and employer side as well as the public safety side. The health increase for this year
will be 12%.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the dates for budget reviews. He asked the council to email him
the dates that they will not be able to meet. He also reviewed the dates for the work meeting in June.
Council Member Johnson would like more time for the work meeting, so they don't feel rushed.
The Budget work meeting will be held on June 5th at 4: oo.

Mayor Merrill opened the public hearing.
Public Testimony in favor of the proposal (5-minute limit):
Bill Riggins lives on Hillview Drive, which is on LID 53. His concern is that some properties are not on
the list, and some are. He feels like this might be piece -milling it. He would like it all to be fixed at once.
Bonnie Riggins lives on Hillview Drive. She commented that the road is in very poor shape. Some of
the residents have trouble getting into their driveways because the road is so bad. She agrees with her
husband that they need to do more than just four homes.
2
Kristin Williams lives on Hillview Drive. She does not understand why, a few years back, they did not
do the whole street. It's not just the four houses that need improvements, it's the whole street.
Public Testimony neutral to the proposal (5-minute limit): NONE
Public Testimony opposed to the proposal (5-minute limit): NONE
Mayor Merrill closed the public hearing.
Mayor Merrill said he remembers past LID attempts on this street when many of the residents were
against it. He asked Director Davidson if there were other residents on Hillview Drive that would like to
be included in the LID. Director Davidson said they have not asked the other homeowners if they want
to be included.
Public Works Director Davidson clarified that the whole street will be re -done, just not the curb,
gutter and sidewalks on all the homes. If there are people who would like to be included, they can be
added to the LID. Mr. Biggins indicated that it was a misunderstanding. They did not realize that the
whole street would be done.
Discussion about how the homes were decided and allowing others to opt in to have their homes done
as well.
Council Member C. Erickson moved to approve Ordinance No 1309 Creation of Local
Improvement District 53 and consider first read; Council Member Chambers seconded the
motion; Mayor Merrill asked for a vote:

Public Works Director Davidson indicated that this project is the one they received a 2-million-

3. Surplus Legacy Flight Museum "Deuce and a Half' 21/2 ton truck and Boeing Stearman
N49259
Public Works Director Davidson asked council for permission to surplus the city owned "Deuce
and a Half' 21/2 ton truck and Boeing Stearman N49259
Council Member Chambers asked why they want to surplus these items. Director
Davidson explained that the insurance on the plane is expensive. City Clerk Lovejoy
explained that this plane is also difficult to fly and it has an open cockpit so it's not used as
much. The Legacy Flight Museum board is looking at getting some trainers that are easier to
train on and fly. The minimum bid for the truck is $1o,000 and for the plane is $150,000.
Council Member Johnson moved to approve the surplus of the Legacy Flight Museum
"Deuce and Half' 2 1/2 ton truck and Boeing Stearman; Council Member Reeser seconded the

4. Discuss Pickleball Court Options
Those voting nay
none
Finance Officer Nielson presented some additional options for the proposed Pickleball Courts. He
went over the budget for the courts. There is $370,000 in the budget right now. He showed the
planned layout of the courts and proposed adding a cover over the first four courts.
Fli
I
Option to Cover Pickleball Courts in FY 2025
Court size 20' Width x 44' Length
Court area ideal size 36' Width x 66' Length
Advantages
-Year-Round Pickle Ball Play
-No need to add Outdoor Lights on 4 Courts
• Projected Outdoor Light Savings $3S,000
-No need to add Fencing around and between 4 Courts
• Projected Fence Savings $25,000 (Cost was $18,300 in 2017 for 4 courts)
•Potential savings from being covered vs. exposed to the elements
-Future Revenue Stream
• Monthly Membership Options
Open Play Options
Projected Revenue Stream Minimum $30,000 plus
Finance Officer Nielson indicated that tournaments could be played on the new courts, especially
if they are nice courts. They could also charge to use the covered courts, producing a revenue stream.
He reviewed the fabric tension buildings. You can add fabric tension buildings after the courts are
built. He showed some examples of fabric tension buildings. He reviewed the features and costs of the
building and indicated that all -in costs plus contingencies would be close to $400,000.
Covered Structure Potential Budget
FY 2024
Budget $400,000
Would need to bid out when we bid out the 4 courts and consider options
Potential Savings by Covering Courts $66,000 (No Fencing or Outdoor Lights)
Funding Sources:
$60,000 Carryover from Savings on 4 Courts
• $160,000 Parks Impact Fund
• $180,000 General Fund
$400,000 Total Budget
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the options.
Options To Consider
Option 1— Build Out 4 Outdoor Courts Designed to accommodate a
potential covered structure several years down the road
- Would likely need to add lighting and fencing this summer
Option 2 — Bid out both the 4 Courts Designed to accommodate a covered
structure and the covered structure now and plan to budget to cover the
structure in October 2024
Option 3 — Move Forward with the concept of just outdoor pickle ball covets
and build the 4 courts this year and consider more courts down the road as
funds are made available
Council Member Johnson thinks that the covered courts will be too hot in the summer and that
people will not want to pay to use the courts when they can use the uncovered courts for free.
Mayor Merrill agrees that it will get very hot. There are some options to help with that.
Council Member Johnson doesn't think charging people would work because you would need an
employee there to take the money. Officer Nielson indicated that they would add an electronic system
where people would scan their fob, like Anytime Fitness, to get in. They would also have cameras all
over.
Council Member E. Erickson pointed out that it would be nice to build double the courts; however,
he does think that the covered courts would get used a lot during the winter and cooler months. He
can't decide if it's better to have 8 outdoor courts or 4 covered courts.
Council Member Johnson would like to get residents' feedback. They can put it on the Engage
Rexburg page and talk to the pickleball community to get their input.
Mayor Merrill suggested moving forward with the four courts and working on getting feedback about
the cover before it's time to add the fencing and lighting. They could put it out to bid and see what the
bids come in at.
7
Council Member C. Erickson is concerned about people wanting to park in the Medical Center's
parking lot, which will be right next to the courts. It will be difficult to keep people from parking there.
He is in favor of moving forward with the four courts, getting input from the public and seeing what the
bids come in at.
Mayor's Business:
Mayor Merrill announced that the city has been awarded the TAP grant for one million dollars to
continue the pedestrian path along the river behind Albertsons and build a bridge over the river to
connect with the existing paths.
Mayor Merrill said he has been to Boise a couple of times in the past three weeks. He has met with
legislators and discussed legislation that is coming down the pipe. Some of them are good and some not
so good. He is not happy with the changes proposed for Urban Renewal, so he is putting information
together to pass on to legislators. He urged everyone to pay attention to what legislation is coming up
and voice their opinions. He testified on behalf of Senator Cook's mobile device bill that would
automatically turn on and block pornography on the phones of minors in Idaho.
A. Ratify Ryan Orme as member of Legacy Flight Museum Board
Mayor Merrill said Ryan is a pilot. He owns A-1 Windshield and has expressed an interest in serving
on the board.
Council Member Reeser moved to ratify the appointment of Ryan Orme as a member of
the Legacy Flight Museum Board; Council Member C. Erickson seconded the motion; Mayor
Merrill asked for a vote:
