Roll Call of Council Members: All Council Members were present.
Consent Calendar: The consent calendar includes items which require formal
City Council action, however they are typically routine or not of great controversy.
Individual Council members may ask that any specific item be removed from
the consent calendar for discussion in greater detail. Explanatory information is
included in the City Council’s agenda packet regarding these items.
A. Minutes from January 23, 2008 meeting
B. Approve the City of Rexburg Bills
Council Member Stevens said on page four of the minutes, comments were made about
the importance of an applicant or a representative to be available when their request comes
before the City Council. He asked that this be added to the minutes.
Council Member Mann moved to approve the consent calendar. Council Member
Schwendiman seconded the motion. All voted aye, none opposed. The motion carried.
Public Comment: on issues not scheduled on the agenda (limit 3 minutes)
Kristi Bennion 295 Shoshone Ave asked about snow removal budgets. She wanted to know
if the city was over budget on snow removal, and if so, where the additional funds come
from. Public Works Director John Millar explained the city is over budget on snow removal.
They originally budgeted about $24,000 for hired work/contracted work and it is about twice
that amount. He also explained they are about 5% over budget on overtime, etc. The
additional money comes from street projects.
Mark Butterfield 63 East 1st South asked about snow removal. He said he has concerns
because 1st South is a wide street and the snow is plowed to the sides of the street and
dumped in their driveways. He said he has friends that live in Idaho Falls and the street
department in Idaho Falls removes snow from driveways with a front end loader. He asked
if the Rexburg would consider this.
Public Works Director John Millar explained Idaho Falls has only plowed their residential
streets once this whole winter. He explained Rexburg is on the 8th or 9th plowing of city
streets in Rexburg. Council Member Stevens indicated there are liability issues when working
in private driveways. It is also very expensive to plow driveways. Mr. Butterfield asked for
snow to be plowed to the middle of the street and hauled away. Mayor Larsen indicated
sometimes snow ends up on the sidewalks; some streets do get plowed to the middle of the
street. It is a balance to share the money between snow removal and up-coming street
repairs.
Bonnie Shiffler 267 E. 4th South is representing Upper Valley Civic Ballet Company. They
have 13 talented dancers for a March 28th performance. They are looking for financial and
volunteer support. Ms. Shiffler said she hopes the city will value their organization enough
to give any support possible. They will help keep business in the area to view such
performances as the “Nut Cracker” instead of going to Idaho Falls or Salt Lake City. They
will be performing at the Madison High School. She has contacted city staff seeking support.
Mayor Larsen indicated the city has the Upper Valley Arts Council. He suggested talking
with Margaret Arnold who is the chair of the Upper Valley Arts Council. Most of their
funds come through fund raising.
Judd Davis at 328 2nd South had some snow (driveway) concerns to get into the parking lot
at their apartments. Council Member Schwendiman asked if it is private property. The car is
4
stuck in-between the street and private property. Mayor Larsen indicated that towing is a last
resort; however the city has towed a number of vehicles this winter to clear the street for snow removal. Mayor Larsen also indicted the city has received numerous calls this week
concerning snow removal.
Mayor Larsen referred to a letter requesting that all fees as well as the security deposit be waived for a family gathering at the Tabernacle. The family of Chris Pieper is requesting to
use the Tabernacle for about two hours on July 19, 2008. Chris Pieper served as the custodian and groundskeeper for the Tabernacle for 27 years. He loved this building and
took great pride in making it look beautiful inside and out. The family is requesting the fees be waived because of the years of service Chris Pieper gave to the Tabernacle.
Council Member Stout said Mr. Pieper served the Tabernacle for 27 years, so he is in favor
of waiving the $60.00 rental fee. He would like to keep the safety deposit in effect since this is something that is refunded in full.
Council Member Erickson was hesitant to set a precedent. He doesn’t want other families
to expect to get rental fees waived. Mayor Larsen said any request of this kind would have to come before the City Council.
Council Member Stout move to waive the $60 rental fee and leave the $150 security
deposit. Council Member Stevens seconded the motion. All voted aye, none opposed. The motion carried.

Member Mann for his service on the remodel.
Council Member Mann also reported on the first Emergency Services board meeting he attended. They are doing a new rehire for a retiree. The job is being posted now with hopes

tomorrow at 7 A.M. The Trails Committee will also meet tomorrow.
Mayor Larsen said the air show is scheduled the same date as the Teton Dam Marathon. There are concerns about having these events on the same day. Officer Cory Foster said
from a police standpoint, it is a concern to do both functions on the same day.
Public Hearings:
A. 7:20 P.M. Conditional Use Permit (07 00561) for a new Madison High School at 12th
West and 7th South – Madison School District
Public Works Director Millar said the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) with the condition that public input be given
at site plan approval. The public hearing would be at the Planning and Zoning level.
Johnny Watson 1152 Bond Avenue (JRW and Associates) reviewed the project on a piece
of a vacant ground. It is a conditional use permit to build a high school project on 12th West.
He explained this CUP is an allowable use in this zone. He gave a presentation explaining
how this use complies with city requirements.
Council Member Stevens asked if the site plan presented is for general information. Mr.
Watson said the proposed site plan shows the proposed location of the building on the 160
acre piece of property.
Council Member Erickson said the CUP is allowed on this site. The question is what does
the community want or need for this development. The city does not have a reason to turn
the request down; however, the Planning and Zoning Commission did have a number of
conditions to approve the development.
Mayor Larsen thanked JRW and Associates for the presentation.
Mayor Larsen opened the public hearing.
Those in favor of the proposal: NONE
Those neutral to the proposal: NONE
Those opposed to the proposal: NONE
Mayor Larsen closed the public hearing.
Council Member Erickson said Planning and Zoning has spent a lot of time on this and
they have covered the bases very well.

Madison High School at 12th West and 7th South. Council Member Schwendiman seconded
the motion. Discussion: Mayor Larsen reviewed the request from Planning and Zoning to
have a second public hearing on the site plan; both concurred to include the request. All
voted aye, none opposed. The motion carried.
Council Member Stevens asked to use caution in the design and planning from the design
review committee to help keep the costs down.
Council Member Erickson said there will be some recommendations from the design
review committee that may not be acceptable by the architect. There will have to be give and
take on both sides.
Mayor Larsen said pedestrian traffic needs to be addressed in the site plan. Council
Member Erickson said it was addressed on the Burton Elementary School where they will
install sidewalks. Mayor Larsen asked if there could be a future agreement between the city
and the school district for more park space. There is a large open space for a large city park
by a future city well. Council Member Erickson agreed it would be good for the community.
