2025-2026 Lease of Water Rights from City of Pocatello for the Purpose of Recharge in Compliance
with the Final Settlement Agreement with the Surface Water Coalition (SWC)
Staff Presenting:
Micah Austin, City Administrator
Recommendation
Approve agreement as presented.
Summary of Analysis
1.According to the Final Settlement Agreement with the Surface Water Coalition, the City of
Ammon is required to mitigate its groundwater impacts to avoid curtailment of groundwater
pumping.
2.Since 2018, the City of Ammon has paid the City of Pocatello to lease water owned by the City of
Pocatello in Palisades Reservoir. This agreement requires those portions of water rights to be
retained in the reservoir and/or used for aquifer recharge. This agreement is intended to
accomplish aquifer recharge, thereby satisfying the requirement of the obligations of the Final
Settlement Agreement.
3.To satisfy the Final Settlement Agreement, the City of Ammon must lease 638.3 acre feet from
the City of Pocatellow.
4.The total mitigation cost in this agreement is $33,702.24. Last year’s cost was $33,452.44 an
increase of $1,992.24.
5.With all fees included (see attached agreement), the cost is $52.80/acre to lease this volume of
water. The actual rent cost is $25.00/acre, however additional fees add $27.80/acre to the final
cost.
6.Staff has researched other options to satisfy the Final Settlement Agreement. At this time, no
other viable and reasonable options are available.
Financial Impact
o The total cost for groundwater mitigation for 2024-20254, according to this agreement,
is $33,702.24. This cost will be different in 2026.
o This expense will be charged to the Water Fund.
Motion
“I move to approve the Water Rights Lease Agreement with the City of Pocatello in the amount
of $33,702.24.”

Ground Water Appropriators, Inc., and Signatory Cities (“Final Settlement Agreement”), we are reaching out to see whether your client, the City of Ammon (“Ammon”), would like to again enter into a storage water lease with the City of Pocatello (“Pocatello”).

format so that you can adjust the contact information and other such details as necessary to execute the lease. If Ammon decides to lease storage water from Pocatello, please return, no later than
August 1, 2025, an executed lease and a check in the amount reflected on the lease, made out

Subject: Traffic Impact Memorandum – Ron’s Tire and Motorsports, Point S
Mr. Tracy Bono,
This Traffic Impact Memorandum (TIM) is prepared by Mountain West Engineering (MWE) in support of the subject
property, ‘Ron’s Tire & Motorsports, Point S’ (RTM).
Project Detail:
RTM is a tire store and service center (Land Use Code 848), with net main floor gross square feet (Gsqft)14,821, and
access off Briar Creek Ln, and notional access off John Adams Pkwy, via an N-S easement, along the East lot line. Located
in Bonneville County, Ammon ID, 83406 at the intersection of S. Ammon Rd and Briar Creek Ln; Legal description:
located in the SE quarter of section 22, township 2 N, Range 38, East Boise Meridian, shown in the construction
documents as Lot 1, Block 1, Ron’s Tire Ammon Subdivision. Parcel number: RPB00000227585.
Summary of (TIM) Need:
As can been seen below in exhibits 1-4, the projected increase in net new peak-hour vehicle trips attributed to RTM does
not necessitate the completion of a formal TIS per BMPO 25’ standards. While a formal TIS is not required, a simple TIM
has been requested to evaluate the projected additional Daily Trips generated by RTM, the traffic impact those Daily
Trips would have on the proposed John Adams & Ammon Rd. traffic light, and to establish a “fair share contribution.
Calculation Detail:
On the approval of Tracy Bono, 2019 BMPO historical counts for Ammon Rd. were increased by 20% to project to 2025,
producing a final AADT for Ammon Rd. of 19,868. As a result of continued coordination with the city, the AADT for the
proposed John Adams Pkwy. Extension was projected to be approx. 2000. Exhibits 1-3 illustrate AM, PM, and Adjacent
Street Peak-Hour traffic periods, respectively. Exhibit 4 illustrates Weekday Average Daily Trips (ADT). Using the above
AADT’s for both Ammon Rd (19,868). & John Adams Pkwy (2000), and the RTM generated ADT’s found in exhibit 4 (410),
the proposed directional percentages were then illustrated on the attached exhibit.
Calculations (Exhibit 1 – Exhibit 4 and the attached Rons Tire- Traffic Signal “Fair Share” Contribution Analysis):
A. Peak Counts
a. Peaks:
i. AM Peak: 53 trips (27/entry 26/exit)
ii. PM Peak: 55 trips (25/entry 30/exit)
Ammon City Council July 3, 2025 Regular Session Page 50 of 56
2
iii. Adjacent Street Peak: 56 trips (24/entry 32/exit)
b. Average Daily Trips: 410 (205/entry 205/exit)
B. Directional Percentage Distribution (See attached Exhibit)
C. Projected Traffic Light Activity (minus RTM contribution)
a. Ammon Rd., North/South- 19, 868 trips
b. John Adams Pkwy., East/West- 2000 trips
c. Total Trips= 21,868 trips
D. RTM generated Traffic Light Contribution
a. Ammon Road, North/South traffic- 131 trips
b. John Adams, East/West traffic- 41 trips
c. Total RTM contribution- 171 trips
Conclusion:
The purpose of this TIM is to evaluate the projected additional Daily Trips generated by RTM, the traffic impact
those Daily Trips would have on the proposed John Adams & Ammon Rd. traffic light, and to establish a “fair share
contribution, as stated above. It has been shown that RTM will generate approx. 172 new trips traveling through the
intersection in question. 172 new trips equate to 0.8% of the total 21,868 trips. The approx. cost of the proposed traffic
light is $750,000.00. It is our recommendation that RTM be asked to contribute 0.8% of the approx. total cost of
installation or $6,000.00 as a “fair share contribution”, as required by current City of Ammon & BMPO standards.
