RE: AIRPORT MASTER PLAN APPROVAL TOPIC: (21,41,,, AIRPORT,ARMSTRONG CONSULTANTS,FINAL PLANS) Warren Smith, Chairman of the Airport Board, explained that for the past 2 years there has been study going on of the Airport by Armstrong Consultants part of which was the result of a master plan for present and future Airport activities. The purpose this evening is to get the approval of the City Council for the master plan so it can go to the FAA for their final approval. Bruce explained that it is basically the same plan that has been submitted with a few minor adjustments. It includes the expansion information and steps required to go through with it. Dennis Corsi of Armstrong Consultants presented the plans along with an outline or recommended chronological order of milestones that need to be accomplished if the board, City and County decide to move forward with the runway extension and expansion of the Airport. They will continue to support and give any information needed. Bruce Sutherland moved to sign off on the final plans for the Airport. Nyle Fullmer seconded the motion. All Aye. RE: RESOLUTION 97.01 FOR URBAN RENEWAL TOPIC: (21,41,RES,97.01,URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY,DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION, WASHINGTON SCHOOL) Jeff Summers from E.C.I.P.D.A. presented the Resolution 97.1 for Urban Renewal. This resolution is one of the steps in the Urban Renewal process. After the resolution is past then there will be at least 2 public hearings. There is an actual board that takes care of the Urban Renewal and that board needs to meet and develop a plan and go through those public hearings. What the resolution is saying is that the area is eligible for the Urban Renewal and then authorizing the Urban Renewal Agency to proceed and draft the plan and look at what needs to be done in the area. The white binder that he gave to each of the councilmembers is basically pictures they took around the area and City. You are looking at items such as abandoned buildings, deteriorated curb and gutter, etc. At this point you are not defining a boundary or agreeing to a financial commitment. Nyle Fullmer moved to pass Resolution 97.1. Marsha Bjornn seconded the motion. All Aye. Mayor Boyle invited Jeff and Superintendent of Schools Mr. Orr to attend their meeting Monday at 3:00 with the County Commissioners where they will be reviewing the Urban Renewal plan. RE: REED SUMMER APPOINTED TO URBAN RENEWAL BOARD TOPIC: (21,42,,, URBAN RENEWAL BOARD,SUMMER*REED) Dale Barney was serving on the last Urban Renewal Board. He did not run for re-election and does not want to serve on the Board again. Mayor Boyle presented the name of Reed Summer to replace Dale Barney on the Urban Renewal Board. Kay Beck moved to appoint Reed Summers. Farrell Young seconded the motion. All Aye. RE: BROULIMS NEW STORE TOPIC: (21,42,,, BROULIMS,WASHINGTON SCHOOL,DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION) Carl Pitts with Associated Foods out of Salt Lake City Utah, representing Broulims new store at the Washington school area. He had a breakdown of the 3 phase program. Phase 1 would be the grocery store, phase 2 the shopping pad and phase 3 the rest of the block. He would like to speak to the Council about the tax increment breakdown in an Executive Session. Due to the nature of disclosing property prices and purchases and so forth, under the the Idaho Code, because it involves property, your allowed to go to Executive Session. Mayor Boyle asked if they need to get in to that at this time. Carl said the other thing he is asking for is a list of priorities. Mayor Boyle said we need to look into the sewer but feels it is so old that it probably will need to be replaced. As far as the traffic light goes, they will need to do a traffic study before the Highway Department will even consider it or sign off on it. It was decided to go into Executive Session at the end of Council meeting to look at numbers and prioritize items. RE: PURCUREMENT FOR ADMINISTRATION SERVICE FOR THE WATER LINE IMPROVEMENT TOPIC: (21,42,,, ADMINISTRATION SERVICES,ECIPDA,WATER LINES) ... Next the Council looked at the purcurement for administration service for the water line improvement. The Mayor said they needed to take the 2 proposals and rate each one of them. Glen said that the one had a --- cost figure and the other was based on the project. He felt they needed to get something on the cost from the other one. Kay declared a conflict of interest. Mayor Boyle said that under Idaho Law you could not use price as a basis for choosing. Steve said that they were to rate each one of them on their qualifications only. Then if all else being equal, the price can then be put back into the equation. But you are to rate them based on their performance and their ability to provide the service. (It was decided to do the rating at the end of Council.) RE: BID FOR GENERATOR ACCEPTED TOPIC: (21,42,,, WATER TANKS,GENERATORS,BIDS,CUMMINGS INTERNATIONAL) The Council approved to go to bids on a generator for a back up for the high water tank. Three bids came in --- the low bid was $55,294 from Cummings International. They also bid the building, roof and concrete and block work and the door for the carbon dioxide room that brings the total to $74,748 dollars. Bruce Sutherland moved that they accept the low bid. Farrell Young seconded the motion. All Aye. RE: BEER LICENSE FOR TETON LAKES GOLF COURSE APPROVED TOPIC: (21,42,,, MORRIS*DAVID,BEER LICENSES,TETON LAKES GOLF COURSE) David Morris was present to ask for approval of a Beer License for the concession contract at Teton Lakes Golf Course. He said the State required that they get a letter of intent from the City. If you approve it then they will approve it. Mayor Boyle said if they approve it it will be contingent upon him getting his County and State License. David thought the clubhouse was not in the City but Stephen felt that it was. It would be behind the counter sales and they could buy it in the Clubhouse but would have to drink it outside on the course. They could not drink it in the clubhouse or on the deck. David asked about beer sale on Sundays. Stephen said it is against city Ordinance to sell beer on Sundays and he would not be allowed to sell it on Sundays. Kay Beck moved that they approve it contingent on his getting his County and State Beer License. Nyle Fullmer seconded the motion. David asked about his having to get a Conditional Use Permit and Stephen said it did not require one. This is a grandfather use. The beer license itself is restricted based on the use of premises. This premise as been used for retail sales. He will check it but he does not think it requires a C.U.P. Voting on the motion: 5 Aye, Marsha Bjornn Nay. Motion passed. RE: BEER LICENSE FOR POD'S NOT APPROVED TOPIC: (21,43,,, BEER LICENSE,POD'S,MAIN STREET) Next on the agenda was a request for a beer license for on premise consumption at the old POD's building on Main Street. No one was present to make the request. The Mayor said they would not even consider approving it until the building was brought up to code. This would need to go to Planning and Zoning for a Conditional Use Permit. RE: WATER/SEWER IMPROVEMENT BID FOR CORNELL ALLEY & IST EAST ACCEPTED TOPIC: (21,43,,, JAG,WATER/SEWER IMPROVEMENTS,BIDS CORNELL ALLEY, 1ST EAST,HOT TAPS) Val Christensen presented the bids for the Cornell Alley / 1st East water sewer upgrade. He was asking that they accept the low bid from J.A.G. He and Joe have reviewed it and felt that it met all the specs. Glen asked where they were from. Val said the actual company is owned out of the state of Washington. The local person doing the business here is James A Garner. J.A.G. also received the bid for 7th South. DeLynn will be doing the hot taps and running the temporary. Nyle Fullmer moved that they accept the low bid from J.A.G. Bruce Sutherland seconded the bid. All Aye. Nyle Fullmer reported that the Golf Board is in the process of interviewing for a new greens keeper. RE: DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION TOPIC: (21,43,,, DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION,PARKING LOTS) Mayor Boyle reported on his meeting with the downtown merchants and the Engineering Department concerning downtown revitalization. The merchants felt the number one priority should be improving parking lots and alleys. They considered making College Avenue more pedestrian friendly by making it a one way street. RE: DUMPSTER PROBLEMS AT PARTS SERVICES TOPIC: (21,43,,, DUMPSTER,PARTS SERVICE,ILLEGAL DUMPING OF GARBAGE, GARBAGE,FINES) Dave Adams with Parts Service was at the meeting to discuss problems and charges with his dumpster. Someone had put a lawnmower in it that he did not know about. When the garbage truck emptied the dumpsters the lawnmower messed up and broke the truck. The City was charging him $264 for repairs to the truck. He has talked to the City about a lid on his dumpster. He considered locking it up on the weekends but someone would have to be there by 6:OOa.m. to unlock it because the City would not change their pick up schedule and he is the first one scheduled Monday morning. They have BFI pick up their trash at other stores and their dumpsters have lids on them and that really seems to cut down on the problem. Dick Broulim said they had a constant problem with other people dumping their trash in their dumpster... couches,refrigerators,yard waste, etc. Kay and Glen agreed that all commercial people are having a problem with this. Dave said he is currently paying $98 a month. He has contacted BFI and for $102 a month he can have a dumpster there and it will have a lid on it, he won't have to pay extra for the lid and he is told he won't have to be watching these things. If there is a problem their equipment can handle it or has the shutoffs to deal with it. They are willing to work with him but he will have to have permission from the City for them to do it. Kay couldn't understand why we could not make a schedule change and wanted Dave to know that the City is not trying to make any money off of this, they are just trying to recover their costs. Nyle said they should recommend they get him a top for his dumpster and then see if the schedule could be changed. Bruce recommended that Dave pay the fine and the City install a lid at no cost. Glen and the Mayor pointed out that we do have a Resolution passed where if he can catch who is dumping it there is a $300 fine and the merchant gets $200 of that. Farrell Young moved that we fore go the fine and the City absorb the cost. Nyle Fullmer seconded the motion. 3 voting aye: Marsha Bjornn, Nyle Fullmer, Farrell Young. 3 voting nay: Kay Beck, Glen Pond, Bruce Sutherland. Mayor cast the deciding vote - Aye. Motion passed. Glen Pond moved to go into an Executive Session. Nyle Fullmer seconded the motion. All Aye. Glen Pond moved that they go back into regular session. Nyle Fullmer seconded the motion. All Aye.
