DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1. City of Ammon Pool
Parks & Recreation Director Tyler Draney explained the information in the pool study, including
options and costs. There are three options: a fully outdoor seasonal pool (with a lap pool and
wading pool) the cost being $15.5 million, second option was an indoor/outdoor with a year
round indoor lap with an outdoor assembly with it, the cost is $20 million, and the third option is
a fully indoor year round pool a lap pool and kids pool, the cost is $33 million. All of these
options would have a net loss annually. The pool currently runs at a loss of $75,000-$120,000
annually. This study was done a little over a year ago. Boise recently did one for about $9.5
Ammon City Council Regular Meeting 03.05.2026 Page 2 of 5
Ammon City Council March 19, 2026 Page 3 of 149
million.
The Council discussed costs to the tax payers for a pool, potentially costing an additional
$180-$220 annually per home owner on their taxes. Mayor Powell discussed securing title
sponsors to help cover costs. Mayor Powell asked the Council if they want to move forward with
putting it on the May ballot or wait and explore our options more. Council Member Boyle stated
to move forward we need facts to present and she doesn’t feel the city is there yet.
Glenn Roth- 3400 Sparrow Hawk Ammon, ID
Glenn stated he receives a lot of questions from the community since a study was done but the
process hasn’t moved forward. He stated Recreation Centers bring in more money due to the dry
factors such as basketball courts, pickleball courts, and gyms.
It was determined by the Council that they are not ready to move forward with placing the pool
on the May ballot. More information and facts are needed to decide how to move forward.
City Administrator Micah Austin stated he heard back from Tony on the Arnold bill. He explained the
repairs.
It was moved by Council Member Hamberlin to approve the accounts payable including the Arnold
bill, Council President Wessel seconded the motion.
Wheeler, absent; Oswald, yes; Wessel, yes; Boyle, yes; Fullmer, yes; Hamberlin, yes. Motion passes
unanimously with vote by roll call.
2. Miscellaneous
Council Member Hamberlin- he received concerns from an Ammon resident Carolyn Olsen
concerning needs in Ammon-
The first is Tie Breaker needs upgraded, new toys and swings. The pickleball courts in between
White Pines and Montessori School, she said tennis courts were promised in the agreement. The
third issue, take out the cement barriers off 17th behind Edwards Theater. We need more parks
in new developments. Water meters look ghetto, what are the plans to change them? The last
issue she wanted to know about the pool plans, stated we need fun and recreation.
Council Member Hamberlin asked if there was a promise about tennis courts, Micah Austin and
Cindy Donovan stated they don’t believe there was anything promised but they have heard it
before and will look into it. Mayor Powell asked if Urban renewal can help with Tie Breaker park.
City Administrator Micah Austin stated theoretically yes, typically Urban Renewal is used for
infrastructure costs below the ground. The challenge Urban Renewal has currently is they have
payment obligations already but maybe in the future they could help with those costs.
City Planner Donovan stated we do have money coming into that area from developers' park
contributions. Mayor Powell stated he agrees on the concrete barriers, something different does
need to be done. City Planner Donovan stated the Traffic Commission makes those decisions.
City Engineer Stewart stated we are waiting on data at the one year mark to make further
decisions. Mayor Powell said to address the citizens' concerns about the water meters, those are
not changing.
Ammon City Council Regular Meeting 03.05.2026 Page 3 of 5
Ammon City Council March 19, 2026 Page 4 of 149
Ammon resident on Zoom-Nicole living at 2025 Dove Dr. is concerned about the cement barriers
behind the Theatre, causing very close calls with traffic accidents. When vehicles are parked on the
road you cannot get around them. Doesn’t understand the reason for them being there. There is no
entrance on this side of the neighborhood. City Administrator Micah Austin stated this is a traffic
commission issue, it has not come to the Council. This area has had several traffic studies, and been
very well discussed by the traffic commission. We had 4,000 cars per day driving through that
neighborhood, 70% of which were not from that neighborhood. The traffic commission looked at
signage, speed bumps and many other options, ultimately the traffic commission decided on a full
closure of the bridge. They sent out a study to the neighborhood and it was 50/50 split as to close the
bridge or leave it open. The one way is a compromise between listening to the residents and the traffic
study. It has been successful in cutting down on the traffic by about 50 percent. City Administrator
Micah Austin stated the Traffic Commission meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 9:00 a.m. City
Planner Donovan stated discussion on that will be on the April 8th meeting.
Council Member Heidi Boyle- Asked about trash pickup around town, it is bad around town, can
we do that again. Finance Director Belfield stated yes it usually coincides with Earth Week, she
stated MYAC is planning something. She stated City Administrator Austin usually coordinates
roadside clean up. He stated we have used work release over the years, now they charge us.
Mayor Powell-Tour of EIRMC-March 11th 12pm to 2pm, Mayor Powell and City Administrator
Micah Austin will be going to Woodland Hills Elementary to read to students from 12pm to 1pm
for Read Across America. City Administrator Micah Austin stated it is a fun event.
Council President Scott Wessel- Stated there was a complaint about the Round-a-bout on
Nightway and Eagle, there is no posted speed limit sign of 15 mph. City Engineer Stewart stated
we can add a sign but it's not a regulatory sign, usually just a small sign.
City Attorney Scott Hall - stated we talk about our costs of the Sheriff’s contract, ICRMP has
increased the costs of the deductible for claims dealing with law enforcement from $10,000 to
$50,000 per claim.
City Administrator Micah Austin - informed the Mayor and Council that Kade Marquez with
Greater Idaho Falls Transit will be here at the next work session meeting, he wants to be
prepared to answer any questions. Does the council have questions he can send to Kade to have
ready to answer. The questions the council would like answered is numbers of riders and any
valuable data, costs annually to the city, information from requests from Ammon they weren’t
able to fulfill, when matching funding dries out what would the cost be.
City Planner Cindy Donovan- spoke about legislator house bill 583 (short term rentals), has
passed with the house with the 3rd reading today with the senate, will be moving onto the
Governor. Senate Bill 1277 in regards to ADU’s is still in committee, and has been there since mid
February. If this does go through it won’t affect us as much as other cities. Senate Bill 1279 is
Ammon City Council Regular Meeting 03.05.2026 Page 4 of 5
Ammon City Council March 19, 2026 Page 5 of 149
concerning the starter home subdivisions, which has also been in committee since mid February.
Senate Bill 1280 is also still in Committee.
Finance Director Jennifer Belfield invited the Mayor and Council to the upcoming Mayor’s Youth
Advisory Council Fundraiser on Saturday April 25, 2026.

DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1. Commercial Driver License (CDL) In-house Training Program - (Rebby Osai, Human Resource
Specialist)
HR Specialist Rebby Osai addressed the Council to explain the benefits of having an in-house
CDL training program. She stated that in February of 2022 the Federal Government got out of
CDL training and it became privatized, which increased the costs to about $5,000, causing a
Ammon City Council Regular Meeting 03.12.2026 Page 1 of 3
Ammon City Council March 19, 2026 Page 7 of 149
barrier to employees. She stated that in June of 2025 we hired Rodney Kremin who taught CDL
training at FedEX for a long time. At that time he didn’t have his CDL but he does not and he is
now registered as a CDL trainer. Rebby stated there are some costs to the City. Rebby stated
Rodney helped locate a software program that will track the training hours and report them to
the FMSCA, as well as keep records for the records keeping requirement. She explained we
currently have seven employees who need to go through the training program. These seven
employees need this either for their current position or to move up to the next position. Costs to
send employees through an outside CDL program are extremely high.
There was some discussion from the Council concerning recovering those costs if employees get
trained then leave the city within a certain timeframe. City Attorney Scott Hall stated if you
require them to pay it back, you cannot take it out of their final check. The consensus from the
council was they are okay with spending the money to invest in their employees, and possibly
not recovering it if they leave employment with the city. Rebby stated it will roughly take an
average person six weeks to complete, we doubled that and will give employees 90 days to
complete the training.
2. Greater Idaho Falls Transit - G.I.F.T. - (Kade Marquez)& Kris Riley, Gift Chair Ian Turner
Kade Marquez addressed the council and explained the need to expand G.I.F.T. into Ammon. He
shared a presentation with the council showing the increased use from 2022 to the end of 2025,
Ridership demographics, and most popular pickup and drop off locations. He then presented to
the Mayor and Council three potential options for expansion into the City of Ammon
Option 1 - Annual cost of $73,000 will serve roughly 40% of the population
Option 2 - Annual cost of $146,000 will serve roughly 70% of the population
Option 3 - Annual cost of $219,000 will serve roughly 99% of the population
There would be roughly a 3% inflation rate each year to the costs.
3. Spring Fee Resolution - (Micah Austin, City Administrator)
City Administrator Micah Austion went through the proposed Spring Fee Resolution, explaining
each department that had changes and the reason behind the changes. Departments with fee
changes included the Building Department, Engineering, Public Works, Finance, and Animal &
Code Enforcement.
4. Miscellaneous
Cindy Donovan, City Planner stated she went back and looked through all the Tie Breaker documents to
see if there was any mention of Tennis Courts being put in. She stated there was no evidence that either
the City or the Developer never promised tennis courts. It was not contractually promised in any
documents.
Council President Scott Wessel asked how we are coming to the rezone of Target Park. Cindy Donovan
stated notices went out and it will be published in the post register tomorrow the 13th and it will be on
the Agenda for P&Z on April 1st. There was discussion on if the council would like the property to be
appraised. City Attorney Scott Hall stated an appraisal is a good idea but not required. City Administrator

Micah Austin stated it will go to public auction and people will bid on it. Council Member Jeff Fullmer
asked if we can get a CMA from a realtor. Mayor Powell stated we can declare it as surplus and set a
minimum bid. City Administrator Micah Austin stated even with an appraisal we can still set the bid at
whatever amount the city wants. Cindy Donovan stated the rezone will take roughly till about the 1st of
May.
Council President Scott Wessel motion to adjourn.

POWERLINE NOTES
The powerline easements described hereon are subject to change before final platting. The
existing powerlines that run across this property likely have prescriptive easements. Efforts have
been made to ascertain the sizes of those easements, but attempts to contact Rocky Mountain
Power have yielded no answers at this time. The 50' easement shown for the easternmost power
line is to match the 50' easement shown on the subdivision plat to the south. No particular width
was given for the westernmost power line easement, and it has been set at 25' wide until a
definitive width that meets the needs of Rocky Mountain Power can be established.

establishing the RP Residence Zone is to encourage the creation and maintenance of residential
areas within the City which are characterized by large lots at least twelve thousand (12,000)
square feet on which single-family dwelling units are situated, surrounded by well-kept lawns,
trees and other plantings. A minimum of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and quiet residential
conditions favorable to family living and the rearing of children shall also be characteristic of this
zone. No single lot, regardless of the status of platting in the RP Residence Zone shall contain
more than one dwelling unit, except as specifically allowed by this Title of the City code. This zone
shall not allow density that will exceed 2.5 living units per acre.
In order to accomplish the objectives and purposes of this ordinance and to promote the
characteristics of this zone, the following regulations shall apply in the RP Residence Zone (see
also §10-5 Supplementary Regulations to Zones, §10-7 Special Provisions Applying to
Miscellaneous Uses, §10-29 Subdivision Regulations and §10-37 District Use Matrix).
10-12-2: USE REQUIREMENTS: In addition to residential uses the following uses shall be
permitted in the RP Residence Zone:
