save the carpets. Leslie clarified the methods for invoice numbers with Councilmember Ellis and that they have
now been changed to reflect the invoice numbers not the date. Councilmember Bean inquired about invoices for the

recommended not paying until we have a contract and council concurred we need a contract. Councilmember Ellis
recommended getting a progress bill.

Mayor Ard explained the hearing process to the audience.
1. 2008-022 Frontage Fees Hearing:
MayorArd inquired if there was any testimony. There was not.Planning
Director Ron Folsom explained the front footage fees discussed at the work session and stated they took the average
of the estimates. The 8” water line fee was $60, but both estimates were about $38, so we lowered it to $40. He
talked about the changes in fees. He explained asphalt, for a 21.5 strip of asphalt, went from $30 to $47. Curb and
gutter went from $15 to $18, sidewalks went from $20 to $30, water line went from $60 to $40, storm drainage will
remain the same at $40 and sanitary sewer will go from $40 to $44. It was discussed this is what we will charge if
the City has already put it in. Mayor called for any public input. Mayor Ard closed the public hearing.
It was discussed the Resolution for this public hearing is in Action Item #2. Councilmember Kirkham
motioned to approve Resolution 2008-009 amending the Frontage Fees. Councilmember Bean seconded. Roll call

Jefferson Ground Water District to come and explain, but he has not showed at this point. He would like him to
explain about the bill we received. Lance will keep trying to contact him.

4. Rezone request from R-1 to C-1 – Southwest corner of Ross and Sunnyside P&Z Hearing 2008-021:
Planning Director Ron Folsom explained where the property is located. They want to do a 16 bed care facility.
They will take the access off Sunnyside and move it to Ross. Councilmember Bean inquired what is to the west.
Ron stated Sunnyside Auto is directly west and is zoned C1. Councilmember Ellis inquired if we widen Sunnyside
Road, will there be a right of way issue. Ron stated there will not and that Planning and Zoning approved it.
Tom Hunsaker, Planning and Zoning, stated a lot of the area will end up being commercial so the limited
commercial zone makes sense. He stated the Commission recommended putting access to the back where there is
already an access which they will just expand. He explained there were no comments from neighbors. Ron stated
he received three calls from neighbors but they did not show nor did they submit a letter, they were just curious.
Councilmember Ellis inquired how much right of way they will need. Ron thinks they have a 75 foot right
of way. It was discussed we would need 95 feet total. Tom Hunsaker explained that most of the houses are so
close, we will probably have to go more south than north. This is the first and most restrictive commercial zone
available for this. Planning and Zoning vote was unanimous.
Councilmember Kirkham motioned to approve the rezone request from R-1 to C-1 for the southwest corner
of Ross and Sunnyside with no access being granted off Sunnyside, so it has to come off Ross. The City will
determine the needed right of way and include it in the development agreement. Councilmember Waite seconded.

Councilmember Ellis talked about the data collected. He stated we
have upgraded some piping on Well #9 and replaced the drive on Well #8. We are pumping near maximum
capacity from March to July and feel the two wells maintain our needs. Lance Bates presented a 24 hour time
frame on the wells. Well #8 will go faster if the demand insists. Councilmember Powell inquired about Wells
1,2,3,4. Lance stated #1 is near the church and we are not using it right now. Well #4 is abandoned. Wells #2 & 3
are small producers in the Hillview Area which are running. Mayor Ard explained that Wells #8 & 9 maintain our
pressure. If the pressure is not high enough, they won’t pick it up. Lance explained Wells #7, 8, & 9 are carrying
the whole city at this point. Councilmember Ellis stated there is a great deal of misconception from the community
that consumers are buying water, but they are not. They pay for water delivery. Conservation will be the standard
rule. Councilmember Kirkham inquired about the progress on Well #10. Lance stated the driller is supposed to
bring in a larger drill on Monday. They are about 115 down and have about 200 feet more to go. It will go faster
once they get through the gravel. Lance stated he has authorized purchase of the equipment. Councilmember Ellis
stated they have been researching their options and we do not have to accept the lowest bid. Scott stated they have
to be a reasonable and responsible bidder and that it is hard to classify. Well #11 has not started yet. Lance stated
Well #8 has about 2500 gallons per minute coming out right now and Well #9 is about 1000 gallons per minute.
He stated Well #7 is pumping about 2000 gallons per minute. He talked about the amount of pressure at each well.
Councilmember Powell inquired about the boosters on Well #9 and how they work. Mayor Ard explained the
process. Mayor Ard stated the lady from Founder’s Point stated they have water now. Lance talked about the
amount of pressure is at 127 PSI. It is concerning that it is at 127PSI. Lance explained they are playing with it to
mitigate the pressure. It was discussed the first valve is essentially across the street from Well #9.
2. Sprinkler Permits:
Ron Folsom stated they are not doing anything on this, at this point.
3. New language in Annexation Agreements and Development Agreements:
Ron Folsom talked about frontage
fees being in the annexation and development agreements.
4. Misc.:

up calls concerning sprinklers. Leslie stated they have received emails from others that are telling about citizens not
following the water rules.
Councilmember Bean suggested to Council that now is the time we should be planning for Well #13 and
buying water. He talked about buying water or accumulating money for it. Mayor Ard suggested buying a farm

with existing water rights and putting a well on it. Councilmember Bean talked about getting an agent that can help
find water rights. Lance stated there are a few individuals that will look for water. Lance will get some names for
Councilmember Bean. Councilmember Kirkham inquired about water rights for Woodland Hills Park. Lance stated
he has not yet, but said he would look into it. Woodland Hills was discussed that Ken is putting in money to reseed
it – about $4000 - $6000.
Mayor Ard inquired about the Ammon sign on the freeway.
Councilmember Waite talked about a previous Council meeting where we talked about pool passes. He
talked about the punch pass and that it was for full time employees only. Councilmember Kirkham stated the
volunteer firefighters were hurt by this. Councilmember Kirkham feels we should provide the pass for them also.
She suggested 25 volunteer passes. Jennifer Ker, Ammon Pool Manager, stated she has become aware of many
conversations about the pool that she has not been involved in. She stated a lot of the information is coming from
Ken and he does not have the full information. She stated that Ken talked to her about certain things he would like
to see happen at the pool. She wonders where her voice will be heard. She talked about promises made by
management in the past that there would be a new pool building and she has been told this for 10 years now. She
talked about certain money held aside for a pool building. She stated they are the only swimming pool in the State
of Idaho that runs in the black. She stated the pool has a wonderful reputation. Ron Folsom talked about the
problems with the City Building and registration. Jennifer stated there are 5 registration periods and changing the
times. Leslie talked about the problems of disruption and destruction of the City building and neighboring residents
with the registration being held here. Councilmember Bean suggested having Ken, Jennifer and the Mayor work on
this. He stated they have to have something professional for people to come to. Councilmember Kirkham stated it
is a public building and we need to respect that. Jennifer talked about a larger building to facilitate them.
Councilmember Powell inquired why they cannot register online. Jennifer stated the patrons want all the kids
registered at the same time. She stated the online system doesn’t manage a system like that. Councilmember Bean
talked about the pool running in the black. Jennifer talked about the same year we raise fees and then we give away
free passes, it does not look right. Councilmember Bean stated there is money set aside for the pool building.

black due to swimming lessons. It was discussed there are 18 more people on the list for free passes. She worries
about setting a precedent. Councilmember Kirkham talked about the firefighters putting their lives on the line for
us. Councilmember Bean discussed they are being paid. Councilmember Bean stated there are 32 individuals
always on call for the City of Ammon. Jennifer stated the kids of the volunteer fire department have been put on a
list because Ken told them in the beginning they would be receiving passes. She is not okay with Ken making other
promises. Councilmember Powell stated it may not be an issue next year. Councilmember Kirkham stated this is a
source of contention and maybe we should not provide it next year. Councilmember Bean suggested revisiting it
next year. Councilmember Waite stated next time he would like to be involved.
Contracts with Intermountain Gas were discussed. Councilmember Bean stated he has questions about it.
He talked about it being mandated by the State. Ron stated we have the agreement because all cities don’t require it.
Ron stated if the Legislature raises it, then all contracted entities get increased. Councilmember Powell stated they
would do 10 years and the others do 20. Scott suggested that we put in the agreement that if the rate provided by
statute raises then ours rises also. Councilmember Ellis suggested to change where it says 3%, to the max allowed
by the Idaho Statute. Ron will find the statute and email it to Councilmember Bean. Councilmember Bean stated
he will talk with them.
Councilmember Bean inquired where we are at on our bid bonds. Scott stated there are some holes in the
letter. It was sent to the insurance company and the contractor.
Councilmember Kirkham stated she met with Steve Kent and he would do an entire review of the public
safety, fire and police feasibility study for $30,000. He would look at a broad spectrum and review the strategic plan.
She thinks it would be a good deal and would help us make a logical decision. Councilmember Bean stated it is
budgeted in this year. Councilmember Bean stated he would come in about a week and have it done in about 30
days. Councilmember Kirkham talked about the best course of action and that it would be preliminary and then we
back it out. It was discussed he is extremely experienced in public safety. Councilmember Bean suggested having
approval from Council to move forward and then approve at the next Council agenda.
rd

rd
Councilmember Waite stated it is August 23 at 7 am in McCowin Park. Councilmember Bean suggested a
presentation by Alene with a presentation of history and putting a workshop together. It was discussed to have it

Commerce and appoint Councilmember Ellis for it. Mayor Ard stated sure, it is done.
