Presentation: FlashVote – Kevin Lyons – Zoom Presentation
Kevin Lyons said he is the co-founder of FlashVote and will be giving a presentation about FlashVote which is basically a way of getting true community input or a representative sample
of what the whole community actually needs, desires and prefers.
Mr. Lyons asked the Councilmembers to guess how often they think public input sentiment matches the whole community sentiment? He answered only 5% of public input sentiment is the same
as public sentiment, 25% of public input sentiment is exaggerating public sentiment, and 70% of public input sentiment is the opposite of public sentiment.
Mr. Lyons showed an example of a Harvard case study where grad students attended meetings and tracked everything everyone said in person and through an online survey. Then they completed
a scientific survey using the FlashVote approach. They had regular people give input on hot topics. He said from all of the meetings held, there were two out of five items that people
were the most interested in. The two items were Health and social services and a study/meeting event space.
Mr. Lyons reviewed the meeting demographics in the case study slide. He said 81% of the people that attended the in-person meeting were 60 years or older, which is not a good representation
of the whole community. They completed an online survey and received the same results even though the online survey had younger age demographics.
Mr. Lyons explained they set up a scientific survey by inviting people to give input on whichever topic came up, so they had no idea there was going to be a topic about parks and recreation.
Out of the five items that people were the most interested in, this time three out of the five items were flipped, and were reversed to what the other data had shown. They thought maybe
the results were different than the online surveys because the demographics or age groups were different; however, they were not, they were almost identical.
Mr. Lyons said there is this thing happening where people are self-selecting because of their interest in the topic and then sharing those interests with their friends. When someone
knows what the topic is, they are attending the meeting because of the topic and certainly the reasons why the survey ends up at 5% of the public input sentiment.
Mr. Lyons explained the conclusion of the study is that traditional methods of community surveys are biased; therefore they created FlashVote which is a scientific option. FlashVote
is a way to get statistically valid community input within 48 hours, it was designed to have community input between a meeting notice and the meeting itself.

Discussion and update on findings for a new Police Station, review and discuss possibilities of a future joint municipal building with other entities, and next steps to take
Finance Officer Nielson explained several years ago they started discussing the potential of a new joint public building, police station and possibly new city hall. At that time the
Councilmembers directed the Finance Department to create a new fund to start setting aside money. The city has been setting aside $300,000 to $400,000 a year. There was also a study
completed on the city’s impact fees, particularly for the Police Department. Since the study, all of the Police Impact Fees are also being set aside for the potential costs to build
a new police station or to remodel the existing station.
Finance Officer Nielson said by the end of Fiscal Year 2025 he is predicting that the city will have about two and a half million dollars saved up between the Police Impact fees and
savings fund. The bulk of the 2.1 million dollars is coming from the General Fund Dollars that are being set aside in the savings fund. The money in the savings fund is being invested
and they are seeing a good investment return on that money.
Finance Officer Nielson explained at the City Council meeting when they discussed the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget, the Councilmembers decided to put in the budget $75,000 in the impact
fee fund with the idea of using those funds to complete studies, hire consultants, and other similar items as they move along through the process of potentially building a new police
station.
Finance Officer Nielson said he would give an update on the findings for a new Police Station. Several of the Councilmembers have been involved and recently went on a tour of the new
Idaho Falls Police Station. The city has been fortunate to have great businesses like Headwaters and several others that have provided free of charge a cost analysis of a new Rexburg
Police Station.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the cost analysis. He said he is confident about the numbers shown in the analysis. He noted if the city were to construct a new police station, Headwaters
recommended a site acreage of five and a 24,000 square foot building.
Finance Officer Nielson mentioned he and Police Chief Rhodes discussed each of the spaces needed and tried to estimate the space needed now and for future growth overtime. He said he
and Chief Rhodes understand there are some items in the cost analysis that could be deleted or reduced such as the square footage.
Finance Officer Nielson explained if the city were to build a new police station the estimated cost is about 17 million dollars. The city would not need to borrow the entire 17 million
dollars because of the amount of funds in savings. Council Member Chambers asked if the 17 million dollars includes the property acquisition. Finance Officer Nielson replied, the purchase
of the property is not included in this estimate.
Finance Officer Nielson said one of the questions was how can the city afford to build a new police station since the city does not have enough funds in savings and it is going to take
a while to save millions of dollars so he reached out to a finance contact the city has used before on different loans. The finance contact said there is the option of an annual appropriation
lease. Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the analysis summary of a annual appropriation lease.
Finance Officer Nielson explained one of the aspects of a annual appropriation lease is the city would own the land and a developer would build the building according to the specifications
desired by the city. The city would then lease the building on an annual basis. The city Finance Department would appropriate the lease amount in the budget. He said if for some reason
the city stopped the lease of the building, the developer could rent the building to a different entity. There is lower risk with a annual appropriation lease; however, the rates are
slightly higher than other rates the city could acquire.
Finance Officer Nielson said given the average annual debt service with the annual appropriation lease option, it is not feasible unless they decide to substantially reduce the footprint
of the building.
Finance Officer Nielson explained the other option he researched is a general obligation bond. A bond would require a supermajority vote which means about a 67% approval rate. The
city would still need to put down a substantial amount of down payment. He recommended the city pursue a general obligation bond. He said if the Councilmembers direct city staff to pursue
the bond option the next step
would be for city staff to submit Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a contractor, designer, and or construction management company.
Council President Walker asked how the City of Idaho Falls paid for their new police station. Finance Officer Nielson said the City of Idaho Falls paid for their police station through
the annual appropriation lease.
Council Member Reeser asked if the city decided to pursue a bond what would the tax increase be for the residents. Finance Officer Nielson replied, he has not completed that analysis
yet.
Council Member Chambers asked for a timeline from the point of hiring the consultants to actually getting the bond on the ballot. Finance Officer Nielson estimated the timeline for
when the city would be ready to have the bond on the ballot would be in late 2025 or the May of the following year.
Council Member C. Erickson commented on the importance of informing the residents of the need for a new police station.There isn’t sufficient room in the current police station to continue
to jam more officers into that small building. A new police station is also needed sooner than later. He said as city officials they care about the city’s law enforcement and first responders
and they are trying to support their needs.
Council Member C. Erickson also commented, the estimated 17 million dollars is the highest amount, he believes they can cut down that amount with proper planning for the current and
future needs of the Police Department. Their desire is to be very smart with taxpayer money.
Finance Officer Nielson said there are several different approaches when considering a bond. Some cities will hire architects in advance and spend quite a bit of money on a design before
they go out for a vote. Other cities will not want to waste all that money if the voters are not willing to fund the project. These cities will focus on the real costs instead of using
that money to get designs or get too deep into that process. He recommended the Councilmembers consider how far into the design process they fiscally desire to enter so the voters understand
what the city is asking for with the new police station.
Council Member Johnson said she had spoken with Police Chief Rhodes about the estimated costs of the new police station, and he mentioned there are items that could be deleted; therefore,
the costs would decrease. She said she agrees with Council Member C. Erickson, the Police Department is the backbone of our community, therefore, they need to take care of them. The
Councilmembers have seen a long list of the items the Police Department is in need of and are not being met. She said the Police Department is a huge priority for our city right now.
Finance Officer Nielson said city staff are looking for direction from the Councilmembers to move forward and pursue those RFQ’s that would be the next step to keep the process moving
forward. Mayor Merrill said it is the general consensus of the Councilmembers to direct city staff to move forward with pursuing the RFQs.
Finance Officer Nielson said the second part of this discussion is the possibilities of a future joint municipal facility. City Staff many years ago brought up the joint municipal facility
concept. Those other entities include the school district and county. There are several reasons for the joint facility, the first being to consolidate into a smaller footprint; therefore,
they can get other properties back on the tax roll. Another reason is for patrons to be able to go to one place of business for school district and municipal government needs. There
is also the opportunity to have some joint spaces such as meeting rooms, so they are not building three of these large gathering areas.
Finance Officer Nielson said this concept idea has been discussed several times in budget meetings and it has been mentioned when reviewing the city 50-year plan. When considering this
concept there is all of this property in the city’s prime real estate downtown owned by nonprofits, city, county, school district or the university. The idea is to get that prime real
estate back on the tax roll and to its highest and best use, there is a real benefit in terms of the property tax that comes back to use towards services like the Police Department.
Finance Officer Nielson said in recent months the county has hired a consultant. They have also invited city and school district representatives to discuss the joint facility. A decision
has not been made; however, there has been discussion to see if these entities have any interest in pursuing the joint facility.
Council Member Reeser said to his understanding the school district announced they are putting the district office up for sale and requesting bids with the intention of building a new
district office near the high school. He said it seems like the option of the three entities coming together into one facility is
not realistic. Finance Officer Nielson explained the school district did not communicate to the city where they would build the new school district office; however, they did release
an RFP. The school district had released an RFP last year and did not get any responses. Mayor Merrill said in the meetings with the city and county the school district representative
said they were still looking at options.
Council Member Johnson said she has reviewed the Madison County meeting minutes since June where the joint facility was discussed and in the minutes from June 24th, 2024 it stated that
all entities are interested and that they were going to meet again after each entity was able to meet with their governance group. The Councilmembers are the governance group for the
city, and they were not met with. In the meeting minutes from July 16th, 2024, it stated each entity’s governing body has been kept in the know about the meetings and has encouraged
the discussion. She pointed out that she has never been a part of one of those discussions. Council Member Johnson said moving forward she hopes that the city’s governing body is kept
in the know and included in the joint facility discussions.
Mayor Merrill explained discussion regarding the concept for a joint county, city and school district facility has been talked about for a length of time and no decisions were made.
He said the idea of a joint facility was discussed during the city budget meeting and at different times more informally; however, not as much as he thought. He said more updates about
the discussion of a joint facility will be shared in the City Council meetings.
Further Pickleball Court discussion and options
Finance Officer Nielson explained the city had put in the budget about $370,000 for the intent to build a four-quart Pickleball Court at the DonJo sports complex. City Staff pursued
bids for optimal post tension courts similar to the Pickleball Courts the university has built. The city’s Pickleball Courts would have had more back area or more side area. The city
did not receive any bids; however, one of the contractors later submitted an estimate in the mid $500,000 for the four courts. The price was out of the city’s budget, so city staff started
looking at other options.
Finance Officer Nielson said one of the options discussed was the tennis court at Smith Park, which is not in the greatest shape. There are over 700 feet of cracks in the court, so
he contacted the company that resurfaced the tennis court over 10 years ago and they declined to bid. The reason the company declined to bid was because last time they resurfaced the
court it was on its last leg. Finance Officer Nielson said the resurfacing company thought it would be better for the city to save the money it would costs to resurface the court to
put towards a new facility; however, he did reach out to other providers. These other providers felt like they could rehabilitate the court to get some life out of the court; however,
the cracks are going to show up pretty fast probably within the first winter.
Finance Officer Nielson mentioned he contacted six different contractors about removing the old acrylic, crack sealing, leveling and repainting of the tennis court. He only received
three bids back without guaranteeing that those cracks are not going to come right back. There was feedback from several residents about not being in favor of the tile court because
there are dead spots, the ball skids and the court becomes slippery when wet. Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the three bids received to resurface the court.
Council President Walker said he would prefer the acrylic surfacing over the tile surfacing. The bid for the acrylic surfacing from Sport Surface Pros, LLC is $66,000 and the cost for
the versa tiles was $136,623 the difference in cost could be saved for when funding is available for new Pickelball Courts.
Discussion regarding the types of court surfaces and the longevity of the different court surfaces prefering the polly mesh.
Council President Walker moved to approve the bid from Sport Surface Pro, LL for the resurfacing the of the asphalt and paint on new acrylic surfacing; Council Member Chambers seconded
the motion; Mayor Merrill asked for a vote:
Those voting aye Those voting nay
Council Member Johnson none
Council Member Chambers
Council Member C. Erickson
Council Member Reeser
Council President Walker
The motion carried.
Council Member Johnson asked if the rest of the funds could be saved to build some new Pickleball Courts near the baseball quad. Finance Officer Neilson explained if Council Member
Johnson is referring to the $310,000 as the rest of the funds it would take the reserves down below 25%; however, he does not recommend going below 25% in reserves. He recommended that
as they get closer to the end of the year when the budget transfers are made, they can determine how much funds to save for the pickleball courts. Mayor Merrill asked that they wait
to discuss the amount of funds to set aside for the pickleball courts closer to the end of the year.
Public Works: - Keith Davidson
Review and approve Utility Rate Study Consultant RFP selection
Public Works Director Davidson explained the Public Works Department pursed a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to complete a utility rate study. Both he and Finance Officer Nielson
review the city’s utility rates to determine if any adjustments need to be made. He said he would like to have an outside consultant look at the utility rate adjustments they have made
over the past years to make sure they are making the right adjustments. FCS, a building company out of Redmond, Washington was the only company to respond to the RFQ. FCS has completed
utility studies for several cities in Idaho. He recommended the city start the negotiation process for a contract with FCS to use them as a consultant.
Discussion regarding the utility rate adjustment process. Finance Officer Nielson said the utility rate adjustment process has been developed over many decades, it has been enhanced
and developed by the Finance, Public Works and Legal Departments. Mayor Merrill questioned what the advantage is of spending money to hiring a consultant for the utility rate adjustment
instead of continuing with the internal process. Public Works Director Davidson said the hiring of a consultant is similar to completing an audit of the utility rate adjustment. Finance
Officer Nielson said the consultant is also completing a study on the Capacity Fees.
Council Member C. Erickson asked if the wastewater rates charged to the City of Sugar City and Teton are part of the study. Public Works Director Davidson replied yes, all utility rates
are included in the study.
Council Member Chambers moved to approve the Utility Rate Study Consultant RFP from FCS a Bowman Company; Council Member Johnson seconded the motion; Mayor Merrill asked for a vote:
