Presentation on Microgrid Technology — Capstone Senior Project Camelio Roman Madsen Camilio Roman Madsen said he is a senior student at BPU-Idaho University and will present on microgrid technology. Mr. Madsen explained that microgrids are a form of technology that allows those who use them to store and access electricity as needed. Microgrids consist of power generation, energy storage, and the various components that control the system. He noted that, by utilizing locally generated energy, microgrids power local communities when their access to the main power grid becomes limited or disrupted. Mr. Madsen described the different types of microgrids. He said that there are off -grid remote microgrids, grid -connected microgrids, and network -nested microgrids. He explained that off -grid remote microgrids lacked infrastructural support from a larger grid. The grid -connected microgrids could connect to or disconnect from the primary grid, while network -nest microgrids consisted of geographically distributed microgrids that are connected in what is otherwise known as a microgrid web. Next, he reviewed the applications of microgrids. He explained that their uses ranged from rural stability and lifesaving access to power all the way to national defense and combat effectiveness. Microgrids integrated renewable energy sources into new or existing energy systems. Mr. Madsen also explained that microgrids varied in size according to specific needs. He noted that they could power a single home, whole towns, or parts of major metropolitan cities. He said that microgrids have a wide variety of situational applications. He reviewed the cost of microgrids. The average cost tended to range from $2 million to $5 million per megawatt, depending on the location, size, and complexity of the installation. He referred to Figure 8, which illustrated the percentage breakdown of installation costs. He also outlined the benefits of microgrids. He said that these benefits .NR included energy resilience, energy reliability, energy security, integration of renewable energy, cost savings, efficient energy usage, voltage and frequency stability, decentralization of power generation, grid support and stabilization, remote applications, and environmental benefits. There is evidence showing that microgrid neighborhoods had more reliable power, lower costs, zero greenhouse gas emissions, improved air quality, the ability to level power demands on the grid, and positive net electricity production. Mr. Madsen mentioned that further investigation was needed regarding the economic advantages provided by microgrids. For example, microgrids reduced energy costs and optimized financial performance through peak shaving and load shifting. These strategies could reduce demand charges and allow users to take advantage of lower energy prices during off-peak hours. He said microgrids also created jobs and attracted businesses that wanted the benefits of having a microgrid within the community. Microgrids typically functioned best when most infrastructural components were located close together. Therefore, when planning to build a microgrid, it was necessary to examine where the microgrid can be located, as well as where the energy storage facility and energy generation resources would be placed. Mr. Madsen referred to a map that showed a potential location for a microgrid using pumped hydro storage as its energy storage system. He said pumped hydro storage is an attractive option because it provided lower overall costs, had a longer lifespan compared to lithium -based batteries, and was better suited for larger -scale storage. He explained how pumped hydro storage worked. He said that it used a pair of reservoirs, an upper reservoir and a lower reservoir. The energy is stored by using an attached electrical generator to push water uphill, and when energy is needed, the water is allowed to flow back downhill to generate electricity through a turbine.

D—rAt of PampeC Hydro Mr. Madsen reviewed the proposed energy storage system shown on the slide. He said that it could store over 37 gigawatts of electricity, with a capacity of over 3,700 megawatts. Which is slightly more than Rexburg's daily consumption of over i,too megawatt -hours. However, he noted that the system still needed a means of generating electricity to be complete. Next, he introduced solar panels as the hypothetical energy source in the model. Figure 6 shows the outline of the land needed to power the city for a single day using solar photovoltaics. He explained that generating the more than 1,roo megawatt hours needed daily would require approximately 0.53 square kilometers of solar panels.

Outline Is roughly the space needed for pv paneh Mr. Madsen added that, in practice, about double that space would be required to account for the shadows cast by the solar panels. However, he noted that designers are not limited to a grid -pattern layout and could arrange the panels as necessity and aesthetics required. Modern high -efficiency solar panels require about io square feet per kilowatt of capacity, and he referred to the calculation used to estimate the area of solar panels needed to meet Rexburg's daily electricity demand. He concluded that this translated to about 3.27 days to completely charge the illustrated hypothetical system. Mr. Madsen reviewed the existing examples of microgrids. He explained that in 2007, a fire knocked out an essential transmission line and left Borrego Springs without power for two days. After power was restored, San Diego Gas and Electric received an $8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy t� build a local microgrid. Borrego Springs' microgrid system was later tested in 2013 when a major storm knocked out that same critical transmission line. The microgrid disconnected from the main power grid and successfully powered a gas station, a library, and an elderly community. He reviewed a second example, in collaboration with the Prince Edward Island Energy Corporation, Ameresco developed the Slemon Park microgrid, which included a io MW solar facility and energy storage assets. The project helped manage peak load demands within Slemon Park and was expected to offset approximately 4,500 tons of CO2 emissions per year. The project enhanced local economic development and furthered Prince Edward Island's goal of reaching net zero by 2030. He then gave a third example from Sterling, Massachusetts. He explained that the town's microgrid was housed in a metal shipping container at the 2 do pauil IueJ2 u ppg iagl Iegl pup magi gllm uolleolunmmoo ui sl aq Ieq; paululdxa aH •Xlunoo auieiu sl `spu20x311U olul 2uplool sl Iegl ';o smouxl aq ,tilunmmoo auo aqI Iegi popuodsoa uaspplAI •JW •smux2oad plx2ox3lm 2umsmd axu ogppl Iseaglnos ul sumol xagio Jaglagm paxlse uaf;au, aagxuaw paunoj •asoxe spoau asogi sp it aaplsuoo pinom put axmrq alp ul Bolougoai aqi moJ3 igauaq 6laxlg pinom 6113 aqI iugi Pies aH papaau aq pinom Ipgl 2ulg46Jana Jamod of Lllopdeo agi anuq Ion pinom pub ivaxxno aip asnuoaq `axnin aqi ul aulucexa of poau Aiaxtii PPlom Aila aqI 2ulglamos aq of paJeadde 62olougaal aqI iegi pains oslp aH •paleloaxddu sl Indul aqi VIP pies all 'JanamoH •auni;o iunoun' Ixogs u m pooisxapun LIIn3 auodJana ion Imp siulod Ieolugaal Aueul axe axagl 1egi paluammoo uosKaiJg •g;uopisaJd paunoo qom po4oi5a4ul ajoW 'g ajn6W g W P✓n eYn 9 M , P uvy aeuaa.:n `b� �MR3 qaM pasodoid loµiul Y aanbj� i9�O �M1Y 6 YJ awni\'`+x+vtl e b.n A6jaua ;o u014o6aB6o 1 1 1 Ja61o1 o oiul auigwo� puu J914{960{ *Up 1 aq uoo 6u[ggam pu6aoiW . aew� �J Y6gtls Man nnoaaowol spxpnnol 6uijuiyl — buiggeM pu6oaoryq •slsoa pup sasugaxnd,i2aaua xlagl;o Ioxiuoa axlpl of alqu aq uagl pinom salilludlolunm axom Iugi papnlouoo all •sia)IJpui 2uluado PUB `saloualoauuonpaJ `uouuooaoxponosaa painglxisip dq papinoxd aq pinoo sa3u jas plx2 axom Ipgi paluls aH •AIIIIquisul luaiilmxalul Inogllm paAoldap aq of salgemauaa axom mollp Plnom slq L •a2ueg3 111m PI12 alp jo aap3 aqI `saualipq palleism axe saIIIIIIn g2noua uagm'aanicg aqi ul •splx2oxolm paioauuoaxaiul ul paxanoo ogupl;o uolsin pazlluaJ Alln3 axom e pamogs g axn2ld Ipgi pappe aH •sluamisanul ampnJlsua;ul aJnicy ao; ,fllauduo pllnq salilo xa2xel 2uldlaq osle allgm seaau xlslx-iu Isom aqI ul asogl dlag pinom goeoadde sigl Iugi pips aH •slsn aanlonJlsuJ3ul luox3dn;o uapxnq aqI xeaq Lllsea axom pinoo Ipgi sallla ogepl Ja2xul pup a2uxols oxp iq padmnd alqullunu gllm sumo; luJnx jo xlm u pamogs L aJn2ld iugi paululdxa aH •malsAs Iuama2euum d2xaua xa2xul a olul paulgmoa pup xagia2ol pa4ull aq pinoo suolipllpisul Jo Womlau Iallpms Iegi Si 2ulggam plx2oJolm;o sigauaq anliopxwe fiuum agI;o auo Ipgi plus aq `aJn4n3 aqi pxemoi 2uploo7 •apinoJd pinoo Bolougoal slgl Iugi goeoaddu xpinpom pup oaualllsaJ aqI paluJlsuomap slgi iugi paululdxa aH •saoiouax aualonu hums uana puu'saoieJaua2 Iasalp `saulgxni pulm `slauud mjos `Jamodoxp6q moa; xamod opinoxd pinoo ulNi alqunom puu palgmasseslp'lllsea aqI ipgi paluls uaspeN •JW ]Z I] sjopoai joalonu pows uana puo'siolojauab lasalp'saulgjn{ pulm 'slauud jobs 'jamodapAq woil jamod apinad uo:D.

He added that they now have another grant opportunity under the new administration and felt hopeful about obtaining the microgrid. What Blaine County is requesting is relatively small compared to the $2 million to $5 million per megawatt seen in larger installations in other cities and states. Blaine County is one of the main Idaho examples he found and said he is trying to spread awareness of this recent technology through his senior project. He emphasized that microgrids have a wide range of applications, from very small to very large systems, and could be powered by older conventional methods or newer renewable technologies. Council Member Riggins asked whether power companies across the United States are looking into microgrids and investing in them to control costs. Mr. Madsen responded that if cities wanted to save money, microgrids would be an excellent investment. He explained that the issue is not necessarily abo lo making money as much as it is about saving money through load shifting and shaving energy costs. He17 clarified that if power companies wanted to invest in their long-term financial stability and success, microgrids are an excellent technology in which to invest. Public Comment: 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. Cade Walter explained that he was a new student at the time and during his short time in the city, he has taken note of several infrastructure issues that he believes need to be addressed. First, he explained the lack of a dedicated public transportation system. While many distances might be considered walkable, for someone with a disability, that is not always possible. He added that even when distances are short, walking could still be dangerous and although there are some buses in town, they are very limited in their routes and could only be used by residents in certain areas. He suggested that adding two or three small bus routes could significantly improve the situation. Mr. Walter also explained that the traffic infrastructure around campus needs improvement. He explained that although there are many crosswalks, they operate on a yield system, which made it difficult for drivers to know when to stop or go. Even though pedestrians technically have the right of way, some crosswalks experienced such heavy foot traffic that cars are stopped for several minutes. He suggested installing a HAWK signal light, it will help create a better balance between vehicle and pedestrian traffic by providing clear intervals for each. Some intersections around campus could benefit from stoplights, specifically pointing out the intersection at South ist West and West 4th South near the I -Center. This area experiences a high volume of traffic, especially during events, which made it particularly difficult to navigate safely. 7 i Mr. Walter acknowledged that these improvements would require financial investment; however, it would be worthwhile given the rapid growth of the school. The university, as a primary beneficiary, could potentially contribute funding toward these improvements. He said making these investments would help ensure the safety and convenience of both residents and students for many years to come. Council Member Riggins responded that Public Works Director Davidson is working on several of the issues Mr. Walter mentioned. He explained that a new traffic light is planned for 7th South near the temple and expressed appreciation for Mr. Walter's willingness to observe community needs and present them to the City Council. Items from Council: A. Committees: MEPI, Cultural Arts, Grants, School Board, MUSIC, MYAB, Emergency Services Board, Beautification, Trails/Parks & Recreation, Urban Renewal, Airport, Golf Board, ADA Oversight Board, Historical Preservation Committee, and Legacy Flight Museum Council Member Riggins reported on the Founders Day celebration. He expressed his appreciation to Doug and Carol Ladle for organizing the event. He said they did an excellent job with the structure and execution of the event. He asked that they be formally recognized for their efforts. He also acknowledged the contributions of Jed Platt and Jules for their planning and organization. In addition, he expressed personal gratitude to Council Member Tiet en for spending many hours assisting during the event. He also thanked Deputy Clerk Gonzalez for her work in helping make the event successful r"'1 from the city's perspective. f ; Council Member Riggins reported that the Cultural Arts Department has shifted their focus on the upcoming "Flood 50" event. They have stated their primary goal moving forward is to spread awareness, not only within the local community but also to individuals who lived in the area in the past. Council Member Riggins reported on the Urban Renewal Agency meeting. He stated that they have adopted the annual report, approved the fiscal year 2026 audit, and discussed a feasibility study for a proposed highway district on the west side of Highway 20. He concluded that positive developments were taking place. Council Member Reeser echoed the positive feedback about Founders Day, noting that although he was not on the committee, he attended and found it enjoyable, with nostalgic elements. He stated that he has not yet met with his assigned committees but is looking forward to upcoming committee budget meetings. Council President E. Erickson reported the MEPI committee met and reviewed multiple business proposals submitted for a business competition. They narrowed the number of business proposals down to six and a first -place winner was announced. He noted that many of the proposals involved advance technologies, including artificial intelligence. He also reported that the Fire Department has begun its budget process and that the initial budget appeared to remain relatively flat for the coming year. Council Member Tietjen reported that the grants committee meets regularly and that city Grant Writer Mary Flanary is actively pursuing funding opportunities, including grants for traffic infrastructure improvements and trail repairs at the nature park. She also mentioned a grant application for an "America 250" flag display planned for early July. She reported that the Mayor's Youth Advisory Board will be meeting and will hold a mock City Council meeting. She added that a new member would be introduced to the ADA Oversight Board. She also noted that the Historical Preservation Committee participated in Founders Day by offering tours and gathering community interest. She mentioned that planning for the Flood 5o event is ongoing, with coordination meetings scheduled. Council Member Johnson reported on parks, trails, and recreation, stating that their updates would be discussed later in the meeting. She mentioned that the LID committee met to review how other cities handled sidewalk reconstruction, with plans to present findings in the future. Council Member C. Erickson reported on the Airport Board. He stated that they discussed upcoming maintenance projects, including paving, striping, and upgrades to taxiways and parking 00" areas. He also mentioned efforts to secure storage for equipment, including a potential donated dome shed. He noted that some of the board members attended a conference in Nebraska and gained valuable insights into grant opportunities. Council Member C. Erickson reported the Golf Board did meet. The Teton Lakes Golf Course opened early and is experiencing high usage. He explained that new cart management software has been approved, which would track usage, improve pace of play, and help prevent damage to the greens. He added that the Legacy golf course irrigation project is nearing completion and is expected to open soon. He also reported on his involvement with the School District Board. He explained that he started presenting updates on city development to improve communication between the city and the school district. He noted that the board members responded positively and requested more frequent updates. B. Other Reports: None Staff Reports: A. Finance: - Matt Nielson 1. Review and Approve Fiscal Year 2025 Audit - Teresa Flanary, Rudd & Co Action Item Teresa Flanary presented a summary of the city's audit report. She explained that she is providing a brief overview rather than the full report, as the full report was reviewed at the March gth special City Council meeting. She noted that the report has not been finalized, as some internal items still needed to OMN, be completed, but she emphasized that the numbers themselves would not change —only formatting and final documentation would be adjusted. Mrs. Flanary explained that the audit included three main reports. The first report focused on the financial statements, which received a clean result. She stated that the numbers are materially correct and that no issues were identified. She noted that while there were some changes in the previous year, no such concerns existed this year. The second report addressed internal controls, evaluating the city's processes and procedures. She reported that no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies were found, resulting in another clean outcome. The third report related to federal funding and compliance under the single audit requirement. She explained that one federal fund program was selected for testing and that approximately $2.2 million of the city's $3.1 million in federal funding was examined. 5 She stated that no issues were identified in that testing. She summarized that all three areas of the audit resulted in positive findings. Mrs. Flanary reviewed key financial highlights. She noted that overall city cash and investments increased by approximately $38o,000, with most of that increase —about $302,00o—coming from the general fund. She also reported that capital assets increased by about $15 million, including contributions from infrastructure such as streets, water, lighting, and sewer systems, as well as investments in police, fiber, and utility systems. She pointed out that while receiving additional assets is beneficial, it also meant the city would be responsible for maintaining them. Focusing on the general fund, ,she explained that it served as a measure of the city's financial strength. She reported that although there was a slight decrease in fund balance due to project spending, revenues and expenditures moved in a favorable direction compared to the previous year. She noted that the prior year showed a loss of about $1 million, largely due to transfers supporting other funds and projects. In the current year, those transfers were reduced, resulting in a much smaller loss of under $200,000. She emphasized that the general fund continued to play a significant role in supporting other city functions, contributing approximately $3.1 million to other projects and funds. She described this as appropriate and consistent with its intended purpose. Mrs. Flanary commended the city's management team for its forward -looking approach. She stated that planning not just for the next year, but for five, ten, or even fifteen years into the future, positioned the city for long-term success and cost efficiency. She noted that this kind of strategic planning was a strong indicator of a well -managed and financially stable organization. Council Member Riggins expressed appreciation for her work. He noted that while many audits focus strictly on numbers, he valued her attention to broader details, including the city's long-term planning efforts. He thanked her for her thoroughness and for the care she demonstrated in her work. Council Member C. Erickson moved to approve the Fiscal Year 2025 Audit; Council Member Johnson seconded the motion; Council President E. Erickson asked for a vote: Those voting aye Council Member Johnson Council Member Tietjen Council Member C. Erickson Council Member Reeser Council Member Riggins Council President E. Erickson The motion carried. 2. Financial Reports Those voting nay none Finance Officer Nielson reviewed activity through the month of February in fiscal year 2026. The report includes cash and investments, which are shown in the far -right column. He said expenditure is tracking within the expected range of approximately 41 % to 42 % of the annual budget at this point in the fiscal year. There are no major concerns. Finance Officer Nielson noted that the Fire Department funds are still included in the report and stated that a budget adjustment would likely be needed in the future to remove them. He added that significant progress has been made in the previous month to clean up and close out those funds. He also pointed out that Fund 41 showed a large amount over budget. However, he clarified that this is expected and would require a budget adjustment. The overage is related to the pickleball court project and possibly additional work associated with the inclusive playground nearby.

Ice Skating Rink Discussion and Budget Adjustment Approval - Jon Lewis Action Item Recreation Director Lewis explained that a major component of the budget adjustment involved hiring a full-time ice rink manager. He stated that the Recreation Department staff have been operating the facility for approximately six weeks since taking it over and realized that managing the rink required significant oversight. He noted that the city staff were exploring the option of contracting with outside companies to run the facility but ultimately determined that it would be more effective to manage the rink in-house. Finance Officer Nielson provided a detailed overview of the financial projections. He explained that the analysis followed a similar format to a previous amended budget and focused first on revenue. Initially, the city anticipated generating about $40,000 per month in revenue. However, actual revenue for February was approximately $34,000, and March projections are around $31,000 based on partial data. Using these figures, city staff adjusted future projections downward. He estimated that total revenue, particularly from public skating, the largest revenue source -would likely be in the lower $1oo,000 range rather than the originally projected $156,000. This estimate was based on actual performance and a conservative assumption that future months would operate at about 60% of recent averages, accounting for seasonal declines as outdoor activities increased.

He reviewed the expenses. Originally, salary projections were lower because they assumed partial staffing from existing personnel. However, with the decision to hire a full-time manager, an additional $34,000 in wages is projected for the period from mid -April through September. Part-time wages were also slightly increased to reflect actual staffing patterns. He highlighted several unexpected or higher - than -anticipated costs. One of the most significant was "hired work," which increased substantially due to maintenance contracts for specialized ice rink equipment such as cooling systems and condensers. These services required outside expertise and totaled around $15,000. Supply costs also rose due to startup needs, including purchasing additional skates, recreational equipment, and other operational items. Additionally, capital expenses such as a floor scrubber, estimated at around $5,000, are necessary to properly maintain the facility. Overall, total projected expenses are approximately $268,000. Based on current revenue estimates, this resulted in a projected operating loss of around $45,000 for the fiscal year. The report provides a realistic estimate of where the ice rink budget will likely end up. Council Member Riggins asked for clarification on the ice rink's financial projections, specifically whether the break-even point is around $381,000 in revenue. Finance Officer Nielson responded that the break-even point for the eight -month period is closer to $269,000. He noted that if this amount is extrapolated over a full 12-month period, it would be higher, but emphasized that based on current projections, the facility would likely require some level of subsidy unless revenues increased significantly. He added that there are additional capital considerations, such as potentially purchasing a second Zamboni to reduce operational risk. He explained that these types of needs would be discussed further during the upcoming budget process when more data becomes available. ^ Finance Officer Nielson clarified that the current approach is to operate the ice rink year-round with a full-time manager, though there had been discussion about possibly shutting it down during the summer months. Additionally, he referenced a proposal from a third -party management company, which estimated a first -year subsidy of approximately $18o,000, with the potential to reach break-even after several years. Council Member Riggins said based on current revenues of around $31,000 to $34,000 per month, he noted that the rink is not far from a break-even target but emphasized the importance of clearly understanding the break-even point to operate the facility more like a business. Recreation Director Lewis added that current operations have been limited by logistical challenges, such as lack of office space and internet access, and that hiring a full-time manager could improve efficiency, reduce staffing costs, and increase revenue. Council Member Tietjen asked additional questions about programming and operations. Recreation Director Lewis explained that summer programming could include youth hockey, learn -to -skate programs, BYU-Idaho intramural activities such as broomball and ice bocce, and figure skating groups that typically traveled elsewhere during the summer. Council Member Tietjen asked about staffing in" levels, including whether a part-time manager would be sufficient. Finance Officer Nielson advised against a part-time manager, stating that a full-time manager would be more effective in overseeing operations, improving efficiency, securing sponsorships, and ensuring long-term success. Council Member Johnson expressed interest in understanding usage patterns, specifically how many users were city residents versus visitors from outside the area. Finance Officer Nielson responded that this data could be obtained through reporting and agreed to provide the data. Council Member C. Erickson asked whether similar facilities operate year-round and how usage might decline during the summer months. Recreation Director Lewis agreed to research comparable facilities and report back with data. Council Member Tietjen asked about the proposed salary for the full-time manager. Finance Officer Nielson explained that the estimated salary is approximately $6o,000 annually, which is based on market comparisons with similar positions and adjusted within the city's pay scale. He stated that the salary level is considered competitive and appropriate for the role. Council Member C. Erickson asked whether hiring a full-time ice rink manager could help reduce part-time wage expenses and offset some of the cost. Recreation Director Lewis responded that hiring a full-time manager would likely help reduce part-time staffing needs. He explained that a major reason part-time wages are currently high is because the existing manager, Parker Anderson, is splitting time between the ice rink and City Hall. As a result, additional part-time staff are needed to cover operations during those times. With a full-time manager on -site, that person could handle responsibilities during slower periods, reducing the need for extra part-time employees. Finance Officer Nielson added that part-time wage projections have been adjusted downward. Based on current spending trends —nearly $io,000 per month —he reduced future projections to about 8o-85% of that level, assuming the addition of a full-time manager. Discussion regarding staffing needs. Council Member Riggins explained that the ice rink required multiple part-time employees due to operational demands, including skate rental, skate sharpening, concessions, and on -floor supervision. Most of these employees are students working limited shifts, which require a larger pool of part-time staff overall. Typically, two to four staff members are on -site at any given time, depending on demand. Recreation Director Lewis emphasized that the goal of hiring a full-time manager is not just operational coverage but also growth. The position would focus on expanding programming, increasing usage, building partnerships (such as hockey leagues and figure skating programs), and improving overall efficiency. Council President E. Erickson noted that the ice rink is a new facility and that it will take time to develop programs and achieve financial sustainability. He emphasized that the city needs to decide whether they are willing to invest in the facility over time, acknowledging that some level of subsidy RMIN would be necessary in the short term. Council Member Tietjen agreed to continue operations through October but stressed the importance of reevaluating the facility's financial performance at that time, particularly regarding whether year-round operation is sustainable given general fund constraints. Finance Officer Nielson Reviewed the ice rink budget adjustment. He explained that although the projected need is about a $56,000 transfer from the general fund, he identified offsets to reduce the immediate request. By reallocating some salary costs to revenue -generating recreation programs (such as the Teton Dam Marathon) and reducing expenses in underperforming programs (like the winter sports park), he reduced the requested subsidy. The net transfer of approximately $40,500 from the general fund to support the ice rink through September. He noted that this adjustment only covered the current fiscal period and that a more detailed evaluation, with additional data, would take place during the budget cycle.

Council Member Johnson expressed her support for improving how decisions are made regarding parks, recreation, and trails by emphasizing the importance of a functioning advisory board. She explained that advisory boards, like the golf advisory board, worked well because they included resident input and provided recommendations to the City Council. She stated that she would like to see the parks, recreation, and trails committee operate in a similar way, especially for decisions such as potentially relocating cross-country skis from the winter park. Council Member Johnson expressed concern about moving the skis, noting that the winter park provided valuable outdoor recreation opportunities for residents, particularly during the winter months when options are limited. She emphasized that the program supported families and community activities, including youth groups, and that prior investments —such as ski equipment and child carriers —would be negatively impacted if the skis were relocated. Council Member Johnson acknowledged that recent winters have been poor for snow but cautioned against making long-term decisions based on short-term conditions. She requested that the idea of moving the skis be postponed and instead reviewed by an advisory board, especially after evaluating future snow conditions. Pq Council President E. Erickson clarified that the current budget adjustment did not require immediate changes to the ski program. He explained that the discussion about relocating skis is only a consideration for the future and not part of the current decision. Finance Officer Nielson agreed to remove that language from the budget adjustment and suggested that the issue could be brought before^ the advisory board for further discussion before the budget cycle. Finance Officer Nielson clarified the use of the pro shop, confirming that it will remain open with existing functions such as retail and a simulator, even if future changes are considered. Council Member Johnson reiterated her concern that moving the skis could reduce usage and waste prior investments, as residents might be less likely to rent equipment from a different location. Finance Officer Nielson acknowledged Council Member Johnson's concerns and suggested alternative ideas, such as a reservation -based system, but agreed that these ideas should be evaluated further through the advisory process. 10 Council Member Riggins moved to approve the Ice -Skating Rink Budget Adjustment; Council Member Reeser seconded the motion; Council President E.
