All Aye RE: FUNDS FOR DAY CARE CENTER AT ARTCO TOPIC: (20,19,,, ECIPDA,DAY CARE CENTERS,ARTCO) Dave Ogden was at the meeting to present a Memorandum of Understanding between E.C.I.P.D.A., the city and Artco to help us develope and obtain funds for a Day Care facility in front of Artco. The reason for this Memorandum is if we are the three parties doing it. It is Rexburg property, Artco is helping sponsor it and E.C.I.P.D.A. is out developing and borrowing the funds. On page three are the items that they are asking the city to agree to. From the sale of the lots they would ask that they could take and fund that portion of the fund at $18,000 up front. They are getting $20,000 from Artco that would equal $38,000. Those funds would come from the revolving loan fund, because that is where the sale of the lots is going into. That would be funded up front and if we have to subsidize the payments on the day care or have to sell the day care then those funds are available. We will purchase their land for $10,000 that is the first agreement. On the day the facility is complete they will pay $15,000. Half of that goes to the day care to help them operate and half of it goes into the reserve account. Within 6 months, 180 days after that payment they will pay an additional $25,000 again with the same division. (discussion as explained in the Memorandum). A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer to approve the Memorandum following J. D. Hancock's review. Seconded by Glen Pond. All Aye RE: SIGN ORDINANCE TABLED TO NEXT MEETING TOPIC: (20,20,,, SIGNS,SIGN ORDINANCE) Joe stated that he and John had worked on the Sign Ordinance and the only changes were in the back schedule on the chart and also adding the billboard defining what they were. That takes care of the concerns from the last meeting. Glen suggested that we wait until we have a full council to approve the Sign Ordinance. Sign Ordinance will be tabled until the next meeting. RE: STREET OVERLAY / RECONSTRUCTION OVERLAY TOPIC: (20,20,,, STREET REPAIRS,SIDEWALKS) Street Overlay Reconstruction Overlay. (Handout on file) The mayor asked if our sidewalk ordinance requires that sidewalks be put in when a street is reconstructed. There are several of the streets that we are going to do the reconstruction and under the current ordinance the sidewalks need to be put in. The mayor reviewed the streets that need sidewalks. When does a street become major reconstruction? (discussion) The mayor felt we need to have Joe get a high priority list of sidewalks that need to be done around schools and put it on an L.I.D. next year and then each year do another L.I.D. to get the sidewalks in. Jim suggested that we need to do the sidewalks in a way that people can afford to pay for it. Glen suggested that when you take out the curb and gutter then that is the time to put the sidewalk in. (discussion) The mayor asked on this project would we interpret our own ordinance and say none of these streets we are doing would require sidewalk? Glen stated that there is one we are taking out the curb and gutter and that is the one we need to put the sidewalk in. Joe said some have sidewalk and some don't and the sidewalk is back away from the curb and gutter on that street. The mayor said we would proceed with that interpretation. The mayor told the council the bids came in a little above the engineer's estimate but we do have enough money in the budget to proceed with this project. (discussion) A motion was made by Glen Pond to go with the bid and proceed. Seconded by Bruce Sutherland. All Aye RE: BANDS IN THE PARKS TOPIC: (20,20,,, PARKS,SMITH PARK,BANDS,GAZEBO) Bands in the park. Rose told the council we have had complaints from people renting the shelter in Smith Park and having the Gazebo rented to a different party that has a band and the music from the band is so loud that they cannot hear each other talk while having a reunion at the east shelter. The council felt that unless it was during the Dance Festival, make sure the East shelter and the Gazebo are rented by the same party or not rent the Gazebo unless there is nothing rented in the East shelter unless they guarantee not to have a band in the Gazebo. (draw up a policy) RE: MOTION TO ADOPT THE TENTATIVE BUDGET TOPIC: (20,20,,, BUDGET) Adopt the Tentative Budget. Richard presented it. The Hearing will be on September 6. After we pass the tentative budget, it can be lowered - but not raised or we can shift things around. The Arts Council wants $1000 for the performances they have and Arts in the Park. (discussion) The property taxes went up 3%. The state approved $188,000 in annexation. October 1 sewer rates will have to be raised from 1.53 to 1.73 per 1000 gallon. A motion was made by Bruce Sutherland and seconded by Nyle Fullmer to approve the tentative budget and set the hearing for September 6 at 8:30 P. M. All Aye The mayor told the council the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation will be at the Nature Park tomorrow at 9:00 A. M. anyone is welcome. RE: REPORT FROM THE AIRPORT BOARD TOPIC: (20,21,,, AIRPORT BOARD,AIRPORT,ARCHIBALD'S) Nyle Fullmer made a report on the Airport Board Meeting. The Airport Board met this afternoon they had been given the final proposals by Armstrong Consultants. They had gone through the analysis phase as to whether we should relocate or expand or extend the existing airport. The decision was made, they are trying to get the most for the least and impact the least number of people. Archibalds were there, and the decision was made that they would extend the existing site 1200 feet to the north and reroute the river around the end of that. Archibalds have always been very open minded in trying to see how it will affect them. As he visited with them after the meeting they said this is the best proposal they have seen. They are not endorsing it yet they still want to see environmental assessment as well as the land acquisition process. A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer to give them a vote of confidence that we are supporting their efforts and that we endorse the proposal they have given us. (This board has put a lot of time into it. They have looked at all the options and it is still the most economically feasible to extend here. It has been a good process for them and they have done a good job.) Seconded to Glen Pond. All Aye except Jim who abstained. Jim asked if this study shows any economic impact to the community or does it just explore the need to extend the runway to accommodate the planes that are out there now? Nyle told him it would extend it to accommodate more aircraft that are already trying to get in here. Jim stated there is a fraction of the community that feel we are doing this for 20 airplanes, however he did not feel that way. (discussion) The mayor stated that most of the money comes from those airplanes. The city will have to come up with about 2 1/2% of the project. .. Richard said the airport has funds set aside for it and will have more in the future. --- A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer and seconded by Glen Pond to pay the bills. All Aye.
