6:00 P.M. Work Meeting Discuss Local Improvement District 54 (LID 54). Resolution 2025 – 01 Notice of Intent to Create Local Improvement District 54 (LID 54) and set public hearing
date for March 19, 2025 - Action Item
Public Works Director Davidson mentioned City Engineer Brett McDermott completed most of the work for Local Improvement District 54 including the design and canvasing of the neighborhoods.
A committee oversight meeting was held to receive input regarding LID 54. The properties that were originally put on LID 54 included Birch Street, 1st South, Center Street, 1st West
from Main Street Down to 1st South as well as Park Street. Their primary concerns were regarding Birch Street because the road is on a hill causing cross slopes. There are a lot of driveways
on the east side which are steep and the driveways on the west side are flat causing melting snow to drain back into the garages. When they try to adjust the cross slope on that street
it becomes difficult. The cross slope is 3.2 on the south end and 4.6 on the north end of the street. They try not to exceed a five percent slope; however, there are areas that exceed
the five percent. He said with a bigger cross slope and during icy conditions drivers tend to slide off the road.
Public Works Director Davidson explained they considered narrowing Birch Street to try and get the curve away from those driveways because the ADA requirements do not allow any greater
than a 2% cross slope. He said the road was built in the 60’s; therefore, the sidewalks are right against the curb line and the driveway approaches are well over the 2% cross slope,
the cross slope is about five percent in that area.
Public Works Director Davidson said there are a lot of issues on Birch Street, so they discussed removing Birch Street from LID 54 and bringing in the property owners to discuss different
scenarios to address the cross-slope issues. One of the scenarios they are looking at is a road curb. A road curb gives more of an abrupt approach when entering the driveways; however,
it helps with adjusting some of those cross slopes. The LID costs to the property owners are a big issue as well. He said with the different constraints on Birch Street it would be a
good move to push back those repairs for a year.
Discussion regarding the other streets included in LID 54. Public Works Director Davidson mentioned the policy the city implemented where the city would contribute 30% of the costs
of the sidewalk, curb and gutter; however, if the driveways needed to be adjusted because of the cross slope which most of the driveways on Birch Street need adjusted the city would
contribute 30% of the costs of the driveways.
Public Works Director Davidson reviewed the estimated cost for the 5th West LID 54. The Stones Town and Country estimate is high because there isn’t any sidewalk on both sides of the
property. City Staff will be holding a question-and-answer meeting with the property owners prior to the March 19th City Council meeting. The property owners will have an opportunity
to discuss any concerns.
Council Member Johnson mentioned there are some property owners on 5th West that have financial concerns. She said she doesn’t feel right about billing property owners that high of
a bill, it’s staggering for some people especially a person on a fixed or a single person income. Council Member E. Erickson said they all feel bad about the LID amounts. He wondered
if the city could increase the percentage of participation.
Council Member E. Erickson asked Council Member Johnson for suggestions on how to cover those LID costs. Council Member Johnson said she disagrees with the city’s LID process and has
made that clear over the years. She said she thinks the city could move towards doing something that isn’t such a burden on residents. The portion of the LID costs that residents pay
is minimal compared to the city’s overall budget; therefore, the city could absorb those costs. She said by the time the city has the final assessment those costs could be higher.
Discussion regarding the 30% city participation policy for sidewalk, curb and gutter. Public Works Director Davidson said the city percentage policy was created to equalize the costs
participation. The City Council also passed the policy that when the city is narrowing the road, there would be 50% participation by the city for sidewalk, curb and gutter.
Council Member Chambers wondered if they could add a hardship clause to the policy based on income to qualify for a higher city participation percentage. Public Works Director Davidson
said there are grants available that residents could apply to help them with an LID loan.
Discussion regarding the engineers calculated estimates. Public Works Director Davidson suggested scheduling a City Council Work Meeting on March 5th, 2025, to discuss the possibility
of increasing the city’s percentage of participation or making other adjustments.
Council Member Chambers moved to approve Resolution 2025 – 01 Notice of Intent to Create Local Improvement District 54 (LID 54) and set public hearing date for March 19, 2025; Council
Member C. Erickson seconded the motion; Council President Walker asked for a vote:

City Clerk Lovejoy administered the Oath of Office to new City Attorney Spencer Rammell.
Official Oath
STATE OF IDAHO,
} SS
County of Madison
I Spencer Rammell, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution
of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Idaho, and that I will faithfully
discharge the duties of City Attorney, of the City of Rexburg, according to the best of my ability.

(Signature of Elected or Appointed Official)
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 19 day of February, 2025.

Deborah Lovejoy, City Clerk
Council President Walker expressed his appreciation for retiring City Attorney Stephen Zollinger. He said Attorney Zollinger witnessed a lot of change during his 32 years of dedicated
service. The city and residents have benefited from Attorney Zollinger’s hard work for the improvement of the city.
City Attorney Rammell shared the following remarks. Years ago, when asked who he thought was going to replace Stephen Zollinger as the city attorney, he replied, “I do not know, whoever
it is, I feel bad for that person.” He said, “and of course life has a way of working out because that person is me.” He said he has been reminded numerous times today and in the weeks
since January 2nd that he has big shoes to fill; however, it is appropriate to acknowledge that there are multiple shoes to fill, one is Attorney Zollinger’s capacity as an attorney,
the other is his capacity to care and the bigger pair of shoes to fill is that nobody cares more about the City of Rexburg and its people than Stephen Zollinger.
City Attorney Rammell said he would like to acknowledge the following people who are important in his life, and with this new opportunity, the hardest part is leaving good people. The
Madison County Prosecutor’s Office is a good place to work. He said he is thankful for the opportunity to have worked with Madison County Prosecutor Rob Wood and is proud of the work
he completed for that office. He said the city has fantastic people, specifically Finance Officer Matt Nielson, Public Works Director Keith Davidson, City Clerk Deborah Lovejoy and HR
Director Terri Hill, who have all made his transition to city attorney easy. He looks forward to continuing to work with them.
City Attorney Rammell expressed that Rexburg means the world to him. His first recreation game was held at Adams Elementary, and his first job was at the Teton Lakes Golf Course working
for Duffy McFarland; however, his first legal paying job was refereeing the city’s recreation basketball games where he wasn’t paid under the table. The first time he was interrogated
by the police was by then Police Officer Colin Erickson now Council Member C. Erickson. He said at the time, Police Officer Erickson was trying to figure out which one of his friends
unplugged the school buses from the engine block heaters and for the record, to this day he still has no idea who unplugged the buses but whoever did, he is sure they did not think it
was going to implode and cause as many issues as it did.
City Attorney Rammell said he is grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of Rexburg. He introduced his wife Ashley, three sons, his siblings and their spouses.
Council President Walker mentioned both City Attorney Rammell and Attorney Zollinger were born and raised in Rexburg. He believes it is an advantage to the city to have the retired
attorney and incoming attorney both from Rexburg because they both care deeply about Rexburg. He said he and the other Council Members look forward to working with City Attorney Rammell
and wish Attorney Zollinger well.
Presentation: Fiber Project 2024 Progress and Plans for 2025 Build Season – Silver Star Group
Brock Walters explained he has changed positions at Silver Star, he no longer oversees the future build of the fiber. That task has been assigned to Jason Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins has been
with Silver Star for almost 20 years, so he comes with a lot of experience.
Mr. Jenkins said he is the Vice President of Open Access and grew up in Star Valley, Wyoming. In his new position he oversees all the fiber open access buildouts throughout the many
locations providing Silver Star with a lot of engagement opportunities to hopefully bring in broadband access. He said at Silver Star, they believe that the internet is not created equally,
and their mission is to recreate industry by bringing in acceptable broadband, provide internet provider choices and close the digital divide.
Mr. Jenkins reviewed the January 2025 update and construction to date.
Mr. Jenkins reviewed the percentages of customers that subscribed to bandwidth. He said they are receiving positive reviews from their customers survey engagements.
Mr. Jenkins reviewed the 2025 construction plan and map below. The areas on the map have been categorized and color coded based on the construction needs. They have completed some preliminary
construction that has allowed them to proceed with some fiber installation right away. As they finish the final engineering for each of these build areas, they hope to begin by April
1st, if weather permits. There are some construction challenges when installing fiber up on the hill with rock, etc; however, these areas are included in their 2025 construction plan.
Mr. Jenkins reviewed the milestones of the broadband installation construction. Their targeted construction completion date is October 31st, 2025. He said even with that completion
date in mind they are committed to get fiber in place as development occurs even though that is outside of Silver Star’s commitment to the city.

soapbox mailers as part of M.E.P.I.’s outreach tool for economic development. He said the technology is such that they can put a video mailer together and send it out to targeted industries
that might be interested in coming to Rexburg. They will mail about 100 of these mailers. He said the board members will decide which industries to pursue based on the amount of interest
generated from that industry.
Council Member Chambers reported he met with the Cultural Arts Department regarding the issue with the production fee. He explained if a production company requests to rent a city facility,
but lacks the funding, could they pay a fee for a block of time instead of the daily fee to use the facility. The Cultural Arts Department will continue to discuss the facility fee issue
until a recommendation to the City Council can be made for consideration.
Council Member E. Erickson reported city staff are continuing to discuss the construction of Teton River Park. They are about ready to request construction bids for the south side of
the park. The construction could begin this spring and into the summer.
Council member Reeser reported the Legacy Flight Museum Committee has not met. The Oversight Committee made a recommendation for the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC)
for the Rexburg Police Station Facility at the last City Council meeting and tonight there is a recommendation for an architect so there has been some movement regarding the proposed
new police station.
Other Reports:
Staff Reports:
Finance: – Matt Nielson
Financial Reports
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Treasurer’s Expenditure Report by Fund. The city is four months through the fiscal year or about 33%. On the expense side of the budget the city
has spent about 18.4% which is typical for this time of year because the construction costs do not start until May. In the fund balances and the investment balances totals for the police
impact and the potential police building fund there is about 2.2 million dollars saved up so far and the city will continue to grow those funds.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Cash and Investment Balance Report. The city is investing about 50 million in their portfolio in cash and investments. There are many sewer and
water projects that need to be completed; therefore, the City Council will need to determine how much of those funds they can reinvest. He said he will analyze the future needs of the
capital improvement projects over the next year or two; however, if the city can reinvest those funds in the two to three-year time frame and lock in a four and a half percent return
that would be a large benefit to the city.
Budget Adjustment for LHTAC Safety Grant Fiscal Year 2025 for 2nd E from Yellowstone Hwy to Moody Rd and EECBG Department of Energy Grant Fiscal Year 2025 Traffic Signal System Sync
- Action Item
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the budget adjustment for LHTAC Safety Grant Fiscal Year 2025 for 2nd E from Yellowstone Hwy to Moody Rd.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the budget adjustment for the EECBG Department of Energy Grant Fiscal Year 2025 Traffic Signal System Synchronization.
Council Member E. Erickson asked if the construction of these two projects will happen this year? Finance Officer Nielson replied there are still some traffic signals that need to be
connected to fiber; however, once all the signals are connected to fiber, they will install the software to synchronize the signals this year.
Council Member Chambers asked if the LHTAC Safety Grant includes the right turn lane off 2nd East. Public Works Director Davidson replied no, it does not include the dedicated right-hand
turn lane near Wal-Mart. City Staff have applied for another grant for that lane; however, they have not heard back from LHTAC.
Discussion regarding the amount of sidewalk that will be installed with these grant funds. Council Member E. Erickson asked if they would install a sidewalk on both sides of the road.
Public Works Director Davidson explained they will need to see how much work the two million dollars will cover to determine if there are sufficient grant funds to install sidewalk on
both sides of the road.
Council Member Chambers moved to approve the Budget Adjustment for LHTAC Safety Grant Fiscal Year 2025 for 2nd E from Yellowstone Hwy to Moody Rd and EECBG Department of Energy Grant

Approval of Architect for Police Station Facility - Action Item
Finance Officer Nielson explained there were six different architect firms the Selection Committee was considering. They reviewed the firms on paper and narrowed down their selection
to three firms to interview. After the interviews, their recommendation to City Council is to work with Hummel. Hummel has a public safety specialist firm called KMB Architects that
works with them. Hummel has an office in Idaho Falls and they felt they would be a good company to work towards a contract for the police station facility.
Council Member E. Erickson moved to approve Hummel and KMB as the Architects for the Police Station Facility; Council Member Johnson seconded the motion; Council President Walker asked

Review of and motion to accept the 2025 Budget Preparation Calendar for Fiscal Year 2026 Budget - Action Item
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Calculation of Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) using the CPI-West Region Avg. Urban Consumer Average City Index, the recommended COLA is 2.42%.
The 10-year average the City Council has adopted over the last 10 years is about 2.86%. The question may arise of what financial impact does the COLA have on the city budget? He explained
based on the 2025 budget numbers the wages that are affected by COLA are about $13.8 million, the total increase to the budget if they were to adopt the COLA is approximately $335,000.
The impact on the General Fund, which is typically the hardest to balance, is about half of that total increase or $171,000. He said if the City Council approves the 2.42 % COLA he would
include the total increase in budget numbers through the budget process meetings.
Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the 2025 Budget Preparation Calendar for 2026 Fiscal Year Budget.
Finance Officer Nielson mentioned that PERSI has recommended a rate change for July of 2025; however, they have deferred that rate change to 2026. The city’s Health Insurance Agent
has recommended that the city budget for a 7% increase in insurance premiums.

Public Works: – Keith Davidson
City Council authorization to move forward with low bidder on the Concrete Manhole Purchase, due to bidders needing additional time. Bids due on February 20, 2025 - Action Item
Public Works Director Davidson explained he received two bids that they will be opening tomorrow, he is seeking City Council pre-authorization to move in a faster manner. One of the
items is an epoxy aggregate manhole made to withstand the hydrogen sulfide gases that are occurring in the sewer line down from Sugar City. The use of the epoxy aggregate will protect
the manholes and give them a longer life span. The other bid he is looking at is the actual installation of that sewer line coming from Sugar City.
Council President Walker asked for the reason why city staff is requesting pre-authorization before opening the bids received for the sewer line installation and manhole project. Public
Works Director Davidson said the reason he is asking for pre-authorization is due to timing, the groundwater is rising quickly so instead of waiting another two weeks after the opening
of the bids, they can start two weeks earlier. He said another reason is the city is using federal funds to complete this project and there needs to be a 30-day advertisement for this
project. Once the bids are open, he will make sure the low bid is awarded, and he will send those amounts to the City Council.
Council Member E. Erickson moved to approve to move forward with the low bid on the Concrete Manhole Purchase; Council Member C. Erickson seconded the motion; Council President Walker
asked for a vote:

Surplus Water Meters valued at $35 a piece - Action Item
Public Works Director Davidson explained the Water Department has been installing new radio read water meters. They have about 120 of the 5/8 water meters and 22 of the one-inch meters.
There are communities such as Newdale that might be interested in purchasing those meters.
Council Member Johnson moved to approve to Surplus the Water Meters valued at $35 a piece; Council Member Chambers seconded the motion; Council President Walker asked for a vote:

Discussion regarding the issue with the traffic signal on University Boulevard and Yellowstone Highway. Public Works Director Davidson said the city engineer thought there was a wire
that had been pulled out of that traffic signal; however, the light gets kicked into max recall which causes the light to cycle to give traffic a chance to move and not create backed
up traffic. He said another situation that would cause issues with a traffic signal is if the signal camera is obscured in any way.
Public Works Director Davidson mentioned with the change in the federal administration there are different grants that are under review to determine if they meet the current executive
orders. The city has been awarded the Reconnecting Communities grant for two million dollars, but that grant is on hold pending federal administration review. He said if the grant meets
that executive order a decision will be made in 30 to 45 days.
Mayor’s Report/Business: None
Items for Consideration:
Planning and Zoning recommendation to approve a rezone at 4 W Moody Rd from Light Industrial (LI) to Medium Density Residential 2 (MDR2) #24-01171. Designated as Ordinance No. 1328 if
motion passes and considered first read – Alan Parkinson - Action Item
P&Z Administrator Parkinson reviewed the Staff Report for the proposed rezone at approximately 4 W Moody Rd from Light Industrial (LI) to Medium Density Residential 2 (MDR2).
P&Z Administrator Parkinson explained the proposed rezone fits within the comprehensive plan. The developer understands the stipulation that they are required to install the new sewer
line before the city can provide services to the development. When considering a rezone some the questions should be, does the zone fit the area, does it meet the comprehensive plan,
does it align with what the city desires to see in that area, and anticipate future growth.
City Attorney Rammell advised the City Council to make their decision based on the zone being requested and not necessarily on the project, because at any moment the property owner
could sell the property, and the new owner could decide to develop the property differently within the zone requirements. He clarified that the correct term is in accordance with the
comprehensive plan and not meeting the comprehensive plan.
Council Member E. Erickson asked for the maximum allowed density in the Medium Density Residential 2 Zone. P&Z Administrator Parkinson replied the maximum density allowed in MDR 2 is
20 units per acre. The current zone, which is light industrial would allow 60-foot-high buildings.
Council Member Chambers moved to approve Ordinance No. 1328 a rezone at 4 W Moody Rd from Light Industrial (LI) to Medium Density Residential 2 (MDR2) and consider first read; Council
Member C. Erickson seconded the motion; Council President Walker asked for a vote:

Selection of Altura as Grant Administrator for Tabernacle improvements, Approval of Altura Project Development Contract, and Resolution No 2025 – 02 Authorizing Resolution for submittal
of an ICDB Grant for improvements to the Rexburg Tabernacle Civic Center. If approved, set public hearing for March 5, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. – Altura Staff Action Item
Taci Stoddard with Altura explained that she met with city Finance Officer Nielson and city Controller Miller back in January to discuss applying for a grant through the Idaho Department
of Commerce Block Grant Program. The state has block grants for community centers and senior centers. City Staff felt like some of the work the city is looking at doing for the tabernacle
would be a good fit for a community center grant. One of the items the city is looking at upgrading or replacing at the tabernacle is the HVAC system. Currently, the state has a grant
in the amount of $245,000 that Altura is going to apply for on behalf of the city to help fund the improvements to the HVAC system at the tabernacle.
Ms. Stoddard said the grant application is due on March 7th and there are three items Altura will need before applying for the grant. The first item is the approval of the development
contract for $3,000, which pays for the gathering of information for the grant application. The second item would be to select a certified grant administrator for the project, selecting
a grant administrator provides more grant points. The third item would be to submit the grant application and to authorize the mayor to sign any related documents before submitting the
grant application.
Council Member Chambers asked Ms. Stoddard if the $3000 covers the costs to administer the grant? Ms. Stoddard replied the $3000 does not cover the costs to administer the grant. She
said the contract to administer the grant would come later when and if the city were to be awarded the grant. These types of grants do not allow the fee to exceed 10% of the grant amount
awarded.
Discussion regarding the funds to repair the tabernacle HVAC system being budgeted. Finance Officer Nielson explained that city staff have been working directly with the Historical
Building Committee and several architecture firms including JRW on the remodel of the tabernacle. The tabernacle needs HVAC system, plumbing and electrical repairs. The city is completing
these improvements as funds become available; however, the estimates to complete the improvements are coming in higher than anticipated. He said they are looking for different options
to mitigate those improvement costs; however, if the city were to be awarded the grant it would be helpful.
