Bruce Ard Councilman Harvey Crandall Councilman Ira K. Hall Councilman Steven J. Loveland Councilman Greg J. Maeser 7:30 P.M. at the City Building, 3270 Molen Bruce Ard with the following City Officials Attorney W. Joe Anderson Public Works Director David Fire Marshal Robert Farrow City Clerk Aleen C. Jensen Wadsworth Others Present: Marc Olhoeft, 3770 East Sunnyside Road, Ammon Pam Peck, 3770 East Sunnyside Road, Ammon Farrell and Richard Steiner, 750 Tennis Court Drive, Ammon Kevin and Christian Goodrich, 3435 Del Rio Circle, Ammon Patrick Mayo, 1980 Sunflower Circle, Ammon Austin Murri, 2155 Cabellaro Drive, Ammon Kyle Johnson Mike Marlatt, Anderson Lumber Company Reynold E. Chambers, 120 Chatham Drive, Idaho Falls Kevin Hungate, 1085 Orlin Drive, Ammon Mike Lund, Benton Engineering Absent: Engineer David E. Benton The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was directed by Councilman Crandall, and the invocation was offered by Councilman Maeser. The Boy Scouts were welcomed by Mayor Ard. The Mayor opened the Public Hearing to consider the proposed budget for the fiscal period October 1, 1994 - September 30, 1995, pursuant to the provisions of Section 50-1002 Idaho Code. Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Post Register on August 23 and August 30, 1994. Marc Olhoeft, 3770 East Sunnyside Road, was sworn in to present testimony during the hearing. Mr. Olhoeft questioned the projected expense for the water department. The Council explained funds are budgeted to purchase a new well. The funds have been accumulated to enable the City to add a well to the existing system, and the budget does not require that the monthly water fees will be increased. Another concern of Mr. Olhoeft was road/street maintenance. He expressed dissatisfaction with the condition of East Sunnyside Road and overall maintenance. Traffic is also a problem on East Sunnyside Road. Large trucks travel through the residential area at high rates of speed. It was explained the City has a seven year master plan for street maintenance. All the streets are prioritized and the plan is to level and resurface each street every seven years. A lengthy discussion followed on the condition of roads, maintenance, and speed limits, particularly on East Sunnyside Road. In addition to Marc Olhoeft, Pam Peck, 3770 East Sunnyside Road, added comments and questions. It was brought out that 1994 maintenance plans for East Sunnyside Road include widening by eight (8) feet. Any major road improvement will be considered through the Bonneville Metropolitan Planning Organization (BMPO). Mayor Ard called attention to the purpose of the Public Hearing, and he asked that further discussion be directed to the budget. Marc Olhoeft summarized that his concern is that the budget provide funding sufficient to maintain roads in proper condition rather than let them get in to some of the conditions seen the last couple of years. Mayor Ard called for additional comments and questions on the 1995 Fiscal Year Budget. There was no further citizen input. Councilman Crandall moved to close the 1995FY Budget Hearing, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Hall. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Hall - Yes; Loveland - Yes; Maeser - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Councilman Maeser moved to accept the budget for the City of Ammon for the fiscal period October 1, 1994, through September 30, 1995, in the amount of $1,807,296.00 as proposed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Loveland. Roll call vote: Maeser - Yes; Loveland - Yes; Crandall - Yes; Hall - Yes. The motion carried un- animously. Councilman Maeser introduced Resolution No. 94-2, A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR DECREASE, NO CHANGE, OR AN INCREASE OF 5% OR LESS IN PROPERTY TAX BUDGET; AND NO LEVY INCREASE. The motion was seconded by Councilman Crandall. Roll call vote: Maeser - Yes; Crandall - Yes; Loveland - Yes; Hall - Yes. The motion carried un- animously. 148 September 1, 1994 Councilman Crandall moved to authorize Mayor Ard and City Clerk Jensen to complete the Dollar Certification of Budget Request to Board of County Commissioners L-2. The motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Loveland - Yes; Hall - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Attorney W. Joe Anderson introduced Ordinance No. 240, AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE CITY OF AMMON, BONNEVILLE COUNTY, IDAHO; FOR THE APPROPRIATION OF THE SEVERAL FUNDS AND THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH APPROPRIATED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 1995, COMMENCING OCTOBER 1, 1994, AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1995, AND PROVIDING FOR THE AMOUNT APPROPRIATED FOR SUCH FUNDS. Attorney Anderson read Ordinance No. 240 in full. Councilman Maeser moved to waive the requirement that an ordinance be read on three separate occasions and to waive the second and third readings of Ordinance No. 240, and to pass Ordinance No. 240 as an ordinance of the City of Ammon on its reading in full tonight. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hall. Roll call vote: Maeser - Yes; Hall - Yes; Crandall - Yes; Loveland - Yes. The motion carried un- animously. Kevin Hungate discusssed the Chambers Addition in relation to the Hatch Property/Anderson Lumber Company annexation and zoning. Kevin E. Hungate, Jackie F. Chambers, and Ren E. Chambers do not have a problem with the annexation and zoning. However, they want to make sure their concerns are addressed in the Anderson Lumber Company Development Agreement. The Chambers Addition owners plan to request abandonment of the dedicated street into their property. Mr. Hungate explained the Chambers Addition was originally used for agricultural purposes. When it was developed as residential, they were required to dedicate a street with a cuI de sac to access the residential units. Now that the property has been zoned commercial (C-l) , there is no longer a need for a dedicated street. All they need is an access road. The Chambers Addition property owners want a separation of Anderson Lumber Company and Chambers Addition. The major concern is that large trucks do not use the Chambers'driveway to access the Anderson Lumber property. The objection is to combining the thirty (30) feet dedicated street of Chambers with a thirty (30) feet access on Anderson property. If Andersons want a sixty (60) feet driveway, then it should all be on Anderson property. A letter from Dwight R. Bowen, Attorney at Law, was hand delivered to the Mayor and City Council regarding "Anderson Lumber Division No. 1 Final Plat -- Development Program." The letter mainly addressed retention of the trees between the two properties. The trees are all on Anderson Lumber Company property, and Anderson Lumber will give consideration to retention in their development plans. The City Council referred the owners of Chambers Additon to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on September 6, 1994, for a recommendation about the street abandonment. Councilman Maeser moved to approve the minutes of City Council Meeting held August 18, 1994. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hall. Roll call vote: Maeser- Yes; Hall - Yes; Loveland - Yes; Crandall - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Attorney Anderson reviewed in detail the changes recommended and the areas of concern with the fifth draft of the Cantlon Properties (Ammon Town Center) development agreement. Clarification was requested of various portions of the agreement under No.7, "Sand Creek Lots." Item (a) should specify the City will maintain or cause to be maintained. Also, the developer should clarify location of the lots involved. Item (b) should be clarified that after the fance and wall are constructed by the developers and accepted by the City, the City will maintain or cause to be maintained. Any major improvements to the wall or fence will be funded by a local improvement district (LID) rather than at the City expense. Councilman Hall moved to authorize Mayor Ard subject to confirmation by available Councilmen to finalize the development agreement with Cantlon Properties upon clarification of the areas discussed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Loveland. Roll call vote: Hall - Yes; Loveland - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Crandall - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Ordinance No. 239 was read by title, AN ORDINANCE ANNEXING CERTAIN LANDS TO THE CITY OF AMMON, BONNEVILLE COUNTY, IDAHO; DESCRIBING WITH PARTICULARITY SAID LANDS TO BE ANNEXED AND HEREBY ANNEXED AND DECLARING SAID LANDS A PART OF THE CITY OF AMMON, BONNEVILLE COUNTY, IDAHO; DETERMINING THE PROPER ZONING FOR CLASSSIFICATION OF THE ANNEXED LANDS AND TERRITORY UNDER THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF CITY OF AMMON, IDAHO; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THIS ORDINANCE AND OF THE ANNEXATION OF SAID LANDS (Hatch Property/Anderson Lumber Company). Councilman Maeser moved to adopt Ordinance No. 239 upon its third and final reading contingent upon an acceptable development agreement. The motion was seconded by Councilman Crandall. Roll call vote: Maeser - Yes; Crandall - Yes; Hall - Yes; 'Loveland - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. I I I I I I 149 September 1, 1994 Councilman Maeser commented on a curfew ordinance for Ammon. In a discussion with a Bonneville County Commissioner, it was indicated the County would probably adopt an ordinance similar to Idaho Falls. However, the County is moving slowly on adopting a curfew ordinance. Ammon and Bonneville County should be consistent in whatever action is taken. Curfew ordinances are in the testing process at this time. Public Works Director Wadsworth circulated pictures of the area around 3265/3275 Owen Street which the neighbors are complaining about because of the junkyard conditions. The pictures show the conditions of other properties to be equally undesirable. It was agreed the City should take steps to clean up the right-of- way on Romrell Lane and Owen Street. When the City has completed their clean up, then pressure will be put on property owners to do likewise. The City Clerk was instructed to notify residents at 3025 Geneva to remove an abandoned vehicle that has been parked in front of their house for a long period of time. Reports: David Wadsworth reported for Public Works. Specifications have been obtained to use in advertising for purchase of a lawn tractor. The proposed ten wheel garbage truck can be piggybacked off a bid advertised and approved by the City of Idaho Falls. If the Council chooses to piggyback, the truck can be ordered right away so delivery could be by January 10, 1995, at a cost of $52,983 not including the transfer of the bed. Place of delivery is Boise. If air conditioning is included, the cost would be $53,083. Councilman Hall moved to piggyback on Idaho Falls' bid for a 1995 ten wheel truck with air conditioning to be ordered as soon as possible with delivery in the 1995 fiscal year. The motion was seconded by Councilman Crandall. Roll call vote: Hall - Yes; Crandall - Yes; Loveland - Yes; Maeser - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Bonneville County is working on widening East Sunnyside Road. They will add four feet to each side of the road. Bids will be opened on September 6, 1994, for the chip/ seal maintenance proj ect for this year. Hopefully the weather will hold so the work can be completed this fall. Councilman Loveland reported he had been doing some investigating for the Fire Department on a training trailer. One has been located for the department to look at. Councilman Maeser advised that Community Development Block grants may be available to build a new Fire Station. The grant requires 50% local participation and is available in areas with low to moderate income families. Ammon may qualify, but it is necessary to complete a survey to determine the income status. He suggested completing a survey in the spring. Councilman Crandall suggested investigating possible City Building locations and to visit the City of Shelley to get input on how they built their City Building. Claims were approved. Councilman Crandall moved to adjourn the meeting, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Hall. The meeting was adjourned at 9:25 P.M. /~~ MAY~ ATTEST ~/ (! /e~,-/ CITY CLERK V I I I BUDGET FOR OCTOBER 1, 1994, THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 Estimated Revenue GENERAL FUNDS: 01-310.01 Property Tax 310.02 City-County Revenue Sharing (Sales Tax) Franchise Tax State Liquor Distribution Building Permits Licenses Magistrate Court Fines Interest Earnings Post Bonds, Animal Control Traffic Citations Sales Tax - Inventory Replacement (aka Bo.
