Mayor Coletti and City Councilmembers:
Ordinance # 737LD Ammon Lighting Districts FY 2026 Annual Appropriations
Ordinance # 738 City of Ammon FY 2026 Annual Appropriations
Staff Presenting:
Jennifer Belfield, Finance Director
Recommendation
-Staff respectfully recommends that the Ammon City Council adopt fiscal year 2026 Annual
Appropriations Ordinances # 737LD and 738 and waive the three readings.
Summary of Analysis
1.We have 10 Lighting Districts. There were no updates/changes from FY 2025 to FY 2026 in any of
the lighting districts. No new districts were added and no new lights were turned on. So the
budget for FY 2026 is similar to FY 2025.
2.June 11 Council Work Session meeting was the preliminary budget presentations by the
department heads and Council liaisons, and we all discussed the details of the Ammon budget.
3.July 9 Work Session the budgets were presented for general approval, and authorization to
publish the budget. The main updates here were the Street projects, updating the Sheriff’s
Contract from 5% to 6%, and the Executive contingency reduced to balance the General Fund to
zero.
4.August 7 was the public hearing on the budgets. There were no items contested.
5.We received the final property tax information. The updated valuation of the City of Ammon is
$2,376,849,012. We will be assessing $2,810,113, and our levy rate is estimated to be
.001182285. Our levy rate went down for eight years in a row, went up in 2025, and down again
in 2026. A resident will pay Ammon $118.23 per $100,000 taxable value of their property, a
decrease of $0.32 per $100,000 taxable value from the current year. The value of Ammon went
from $2,229,849,384 in 2024 to $2,376,849,012 in 2025, meaning that after adding in new
construction, most properties values updated minimally. We are still providing max services with
minimal revenues.
6.FY 2026 will be the first year the temporary two year Street Levy will be assessed/collected. The
$1,250,000 Street Levy rate is .000525906, meaning that for every $100,000 of taxable property
value, $52.59 will be assessed. Combining both of our levy rates, the total property tax levy rate
is .0017081914.
7.August 14 Work Session - now that we received the final property tax information, we did not
receive as much for new construction or the Urban Renewal Agency expiring as anticipated. The
shortfall difference was $83,733.56. To balance the budget, Council removed GIFT and the
Community Development Director position.

www.cityofammon.us Page | 1 Ammon City Council September 21, 2025 Page 10 of 62
8.Previously EIRSD had estimated their annual increase to be 4%, so we budgeted a 4% increase.
The actual from EIRSD will be 3.02%, so Council directed to update our increase from 4% to 3%.
9.Per Idaho Code 50-1003, the City Council of each city shall, prior to the commencement of each
fiscal year, pass an Ordinance to be termed the Annual Appropriation Ordinance.
10.The City Council to please adopt Ordinances #737LD and 738, entitled the Annual Appropriations
Ordinance for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025, appropriating to the various funds sums
of money deemed necessary to defray all expenses and liabilities within each fund for the
ensuing fiscal year, authorizing a levy of sufficient tax upon the taxable property, specifying the
objects and purpose for which said appropriation is made, and provide an effective date.
Financial Impact
●The fiscal year 2025-26 City budget provides budget authority for the services and
projects the City anticipates providing during the new fiscal year.
●All GL numbers will be impacted by the budget.
●The two largest items in the budget this next year are 1st Street from Hitt Road to
Ammon Road, and the wastewater maintenance and operations and bond payment that
we pay to Eastern Idaho Regional Sewer District. The next largest single item is the
Sheriff’s Contract.
Motion
I move to approve Ordinance #737LD to accept the fiscal year 2026 Annual Appropriations
Ordinance for the Ammon Lighting Districts 1 through 10 and waive the three readings.
I move to approve Ordinance #738 to accept the fiscal year 2026 Annual Appropriations

Ordinance # 737LD Ammon Lighting Districts FY 2026 Annual Appropriations
Ordinance # 738 City of Ammon FY 2026 Annual Appropriations
Staff Presenting:
Jennifer Belfield, Finance Director
Recommendation
-Staff respectfully recommends that the Ammon City Council adopt fiscal year 2026 Annual
Appropriations Ordinances # 737LD and 738 and waive the three readings.
Summary of Analysis
1.We have 10 Lighting Districts. There were no updates/changes from FY 2025 to FY 2026 in any of
the lighting districts. No new districts were added and no new lights were turned on. So the
budget for FY 2026 is similar to FY 2025.
2.June 11 Council Work Session meeting was the preliminary budget presentations by the
department heads and Council liaisons, and we all discussed the details of the Ammon budget.
3.July 9 Work Session the budgets were presented for general approval, and authorization to
publish the budget. The main updates here were the Street projects, updating the Sheriff’s
Contract from 5% to 6%, and the Executive contingency reduced to balance the General Fund to
zero.
4.August 7 was the public hearing on the budgets. There were no items contested.
5.We received the final property tax information. The updated valuation of the City of Ammon is
$2,376,849,012. We will be assessing $2,810,113, and our levy rate is estimated to be
.001182285. Our levy rate went down for eight years in a row, went up in 2025, and down again
in 2026. A resident will pay Ammon $118.23 per $100,000 taxable value of their property, a
decrease of $0.32 per $100,000 taxable value from the current year. The value of Ammon went
from $2,229,849,384 in 2024 to $2,376,849,012 in 2025, meaning that after adding in new
construction, most properties values updated minimally. We are still providing max services with
minimal revenues.
6.FY 2026 will be the first year the temporary two year Street Levy will be assessed/collected. The
$1,250,000 Street Levy rate is .000525906, meaning that for every $100,000 of taxable property
value, $52.59 will be assessed. Combining both of our levy rates, the total property tax levy rate
is .0017081914.
7.August 14 Work Session - now that we received the final property tax information, we did not
receive as much for new construction or the Urban Renewal Agency expiring as anticipated. The
shortfall difference was $83,733.56. To balance the budget, Council removed GIFT and the
Community Development Director position.

8.Previously EIRSD had estimated their annual increase to be 4%, so we budgeted a 4% increase.
The actual from EIRSD will be 3.02%, so Council directed to update our increase from 4% to 3%.
9.Per Idaho Code 50-1003, the City Council of each city shall, prior to the commencement of each
fiscal year, pass an Ordinance to be termed the Annual Appropriation Ordinance.
10.The City Council to please adopt Ordinances #737LD and 738, entitled the Annual Appropriations
Ordinance for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025, appropriating to the various funds sums
of money deemed necessary to defray all expenses and liabilities within each fund for the
ensuing fiscal year, authorizing a levy of sufficient tax upon the taxable property, specifying the
objects and purpose for which said appropriation is made, and provide an effective date.
Financial Impact
●The fiscal year 2025-26 City budget provides budget authority for the services and
projects the City anticipates providing during the new fiscal year.
●All GL numbers will be impacted by the budget.
●The two largest items in the budget this next year are 1st Street from Hitt Road to
Ammon Road, and the wastewater maintenance and operations and bond payment that
we pay to Eastern Idaho Regional Sewer District. The next largest single item is the
Sheriff’s Contract.
Motion
I move to approve Ordinance #737LD to accept the fiscal year 2026 Annual Appropriations
Ordinance for the Ammon Lighting Districts 1 through 10 and waive the three readings.

10-25-3: Area Requirements
10-25-4: Special Provisions
10-25-1: GENERAL OBJECTIVES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF ZONE: The I&M1
Industrial and Manufacturing Zone has been established as a district in which the primary use
of the land is for manufacturing, fabricating, processing and warehousing establishments. This
zone is suited for industrial uses because of the proximity to railroad tracks and streets and the
availability of utilities necessary for successful industrial use. While much of the land within this
zone is currently devoted to agriculture and other open-land uses, it is intended that
manufacturing and industrial uses shall be directed into this zone as the needs arise.
Representative of the uses within this zone are manufacturing and fabrication and
processing, storage, warehousing and wholesale distribution and railroad trackage, switchyards
and terminal facilities. Uses which give rise to excessive noise, vibration, smoke, odor or dust,
fumes or danger of explosion have been excluded from this zone. As a means of attracting
manufacturing and industrial establishments into this zone, certain regulations concerning the
external appearance of building and structures and the maintenance and use of land have been
adopted. Also, dwellings and other uses, which tend to thwart or prevent the use of the land for
its primary purposes have been excluded from this zone. The objectives in establishing the
I&M-1 Zone are:
(A) To provide space for manufacturing and industrial uses within the City in appropriate
locations and to discourage uses which tend to thwart the use of land for industrial
purposes from locating within this zone.
(B) To encourage the expansion of industrial establishments already existing within the
zone.
(C)To encourage new industry to locate within the zone to the end that the economic well
being of the City and its inhabitants shall be enhanced thereby.
(D) To prevent the encroachment of industrial uses into non-industrial zones.
(E) To prevent the commingling of incompatible uses and the attending depreciation of
property values and the unwholesome social conditions resulting therefrom.
(F) In order to accomplish the objectives and purposes of this ordinance and to encourage
the most appropriate use of land within this zone, the following regulations shall apply in
