PUBLIC HEARINGS: None PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA: None ACTION ITEMS : 1. Woodland Hills Park Infrastructure Participation (documents pending): City Administrator Bruce Rose explained they are making progress on this project. He explained the ground was originally donated to the City and there may be some extra costs for water and sewer issues going across the property. They would like to put a water line in before the park goes in from East to West. Brent Johnson explained they had a plan for a sewer and water line going across that park. He explained they understood the regional sewer would come through there and tap into Woodland Hills. They have not budgeted for the distance through the park for the sewer line. They wanted to discuss the matter with the City to find out who is responsible for the cost of putting it in. They would like to get moving on the park and get grass and sprinklers in soon. He explained their understanding with the sewer was it would be a part of the main project coming from Shelley which is why they had not factored in the sewer for this. He explained the water line would cost about $6- 7,000 and the sewer line would be about $13-14,000. The total would be about $20-22,000 for the two of them. City Council Minutes 07/05/2007 -- 2 Jay Johnson, 2125 Cabalero, explained the line he is talking about is an 18” line. It is not a normal sewer line. It would be 350’ for sewer and about 480’ for the water. Bill Manwill explained that the line down Township is oversized. Bill explained in the future there will be a 12” line down Ammon and Township and then the 6” line will go into it. Bruce Rose explained he spoke with Jay concerning budgeting issues. He explained Rockwell will pay and seek reimbursement in October to help with budget purposes. Council discussed we need to just get it done. Councilmember Waite motioned Rockwell to go ahead to extend water and sewer through Woodland Park as described and the City will pay up to $21,000. Councilmember Thompson seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Waite – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, and Councilmember Bean – Yes. The motion passed. Jay Johnson inquired about Cortland 5 &6 regarding issues. They had spoken about putting a well underground. Mayor Ard explained where the City is at with water issues right now. He explained they are in the process of debating local water protests. Ron Folsom explained the plats can be held until the well comes on line. He explained they can do improvements with the final plat with the Mayor’s signature pending. Councilmember Bean explained that we are transferring our water rights to Wells #10 and #11. He explained they are hoping to get Well #10 resolved, because Well #11 is the one that is being protested. th 2. Water System Project Scope Revision (documents pending): Ted Hendricks, 1099 E 4 North Rexburg, stated he wanted to give an update on the environmental. He explained it does not appear they will have to do any biological assessments. He explained the only way that will change is if the environmental officer at DEQ raises a flag. They are moving ahead as if there is no issue. He explained they do have to do an archeological walk over. He stated that he has a proposed contract with a consultant that they use quite a bit for this type of work. They received the information from SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office) for this cultural resource survey. They indicated they wanted a review in the areas of the tanks and booster pumps and other wells we are using. He would like to get Council’s approval to hire this consultant. Councilmember Bean inquired about the walkover that they will do on Well #11’s construction site, most of which is already built upon. They will also do a walkover on Well #8, which is 100% built. Councilmember Bean stated he is concerned about whether or not they know that these are built upon. Ted Hendricks explained he feels we need to just jump through the hoops to getting this done. Councilmember Bean stated he would like to see us make a call to SHPO and, at least, advise them these are done. Ted said he would do so. Council discussed the cost of the consultant and how to get them hired. It was discussed it may be easier to go through them. Ted explained that the consultant fee is reimbursable under the DEQ grant this way. Councilmember Bean motioned to approve the cultural resource consulting contract for the cost $2050 directly through the Development & we would reimburse. Councilmember Waite seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. Jim Miller, Keller and Associates, stated they had a meeting this last Tuesday with Foothills Property. He explained they contacted the City and requested that they build and construct the booster station at the Fill Tank #1 site in an effort to speed up the construction of homes in that area. They came to this meeting to inform Council that it has been asked and they have briefly looked at it and still have several questions. They want to know if Council is interested and then look at the process. They have offered to pay for the booster station with their own funds. Councilmember Bean stated that Jim is the City’s consultant and would like to know his feelings. Jim Miller stated it would be a much simpler process not to go through this. He explained to do it now would require redoing some construction later on. He explained they are looking at approx. 220 gallons a minute per peak hour for the 125 additional homes. Right now there is not enough from Well #9 to provide enough water for that. They would have to include Well #11, which is still in design. The engineering and control systems would be difficult. He also explained there are a lot of areas in town that don’t have adequate fire flow. He explained we will be okay for these homes to go in, but it is tough to stretch the water with the shortages we have now. Councilmember Bean explained they would love to continue moving forward, but we are stopped with the protests on Well #11. George McDaniel, Foothills Property, explained they are worried about losing next year’s building. Ron Folsom stated what the DEQ letter said and they cannot issue a building permit until the wells are online. Bill Manwill explained in Founder’s Point that DEQ has approved 71 homes and 23 of those have water pressure below what is acceptable to build on. They either have to put in individual booster pumps on each of those homes or start building on the booster pump. They will still need the booster pump with Well #11. He explained they are asking to take the booster pump out of the cities project. By doing that they can go ahead and design it and get it going without the wait. Councilmember Bean inquired if they are saying that if the City pulls it out of the project, then they will pay for the booster pump with their own funds. Bill Manwill stated that is what they are asking. He explained the developers are also proposing they would pay the portion for the construction and engineering for that part of their booster. As soon as Well #11 came online the booster would be ready to go. City Council Minutes 07/05/2007 -- 3 Councilmember Bean inquired to Jim Miller what the drawbacks or pitfalls would be if we let them go ahead with this. Ted asked to address the question on a financial basis. He explained if you take it out of the “DEQ Project”, then you remove that money – it cannot be reimbursed. It may also allow you to do Phase III, but once you take it out it is gone and DEQ won’t participate, he explained. He also explained the other challenge is that you will have to change order Jim’s contract which would take costs out of his contract that you would have normally paid on the DEQ project and they would bill the developer’s for that. So you will be negotiating change orders and things like that. Councilmember Bean inquired that the costs will still be born by the developer. Ted stated that is true. Councilmember Bean stated he does not see a drawback from the City’s point of view. Ted stated there may not be. It does allow you some freedom. It allows for Phase III. However, you lose the capabilities of spending money in the future for infrastructure. Councilmember Bean inquired what the estimated cost of the booster pump and the design work. It was discussed it was about $2.5 million. Jim commented that once you get that booster pump in, it will still not be functional until the water is available. Councilmember Bean stated he understands that and they have to understand, too. Councilmember Bean stated in his opinion this is a no brainier. George McDaniel, developer, stated he would be spending this money anyway and they feel this is a wise way to go. Councilmember Bean stated we are using taxpayers’ money, and this is a more wise way to do it – having someone else pay for part of the costs. George McDaniel stated he feels it would allow the City to address other projects too. George stated they could loose two years real easy while all the environmental studies and designs are being done. Per George, they will be doing one line from Well #11 to Well #9. They would be putting in a generator at Well #9, generator at the booster station so they would have power. Ted Hendricks inquired what the feeling was on the scope change. He explained Jim would have to take a look at the proposed change orders on the contract. There will be quite a bit of work under pre-designing issues. He isn’t looking for final approval tonight because we still have numbers to present. Councilmember Bean commented about the abilities to pay on this project, and if the firm has any reservations concerning this project. Jim stated he appreciated the concerns, and they do have reservations naturally concerning payment. He explained they are easier when working with municipalities. He explained he has not worked with George. He explained it is still not a simple fix with continuing with the booster station. He explained they have to do pre-design and that needs to be planned. Councilmember Bean also inquired about lines that have to run in and out of the booster pump. He inquired is that part of what they are doing and how it works. Bill Manwill explained the down line will service the booster. He explained the line from the booster to Founder’s Point will be the developer’s responsibility. He explained when Well #11 comes online then there needs to be another line run from Well #11 all the way to the tank. Until you have the tank, that second line is not necessary. The extra line can be done at the same time as the construction of the tank. Councilmember Bean inquired to George McDaniel about the concerns of Keller and Associates. He would like to get them together regarding payment of the project. Bill Manwill stated the biggest change is how willing the developer is to spend money and how much they can spend in reality. Councilmember Bean motioned to allow the project to continue forward moving the booster pump back into the private sector, and asking Keller and Associates to make sure the design is there and supervising the construction of the design, etc. for the project and bringing the numbers back to Council for final approval. Councilmember Thompson seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, and Councilmember Waite – Yes. The motion passed. Ted Hendricks stated the City is under contract to do Well #11 with Harper and Leavitt and with Keller and Associates to do Well #11. He explained the contract you engaged to do with Harper Leavitt was some time ago and DEQ will not recognize that. If you want to honor that contract, they you could move ahead with your own money because DEQ won’t participate. Ted explained the other thing you could do is to have Harper Leavitt change their contract to become a subcontractor with Keller and Associates and they would do the work. The City would pay Keller and Associates and they would in turn pay Harper Leavitt. Then it would become eligible under the DEQ scope. Mayor Ard asked if both firms okay with that. Keller would like to finalize looking at their numbers to make sure they can honor the contract that you have with Harper Leavitt. He indicated DEQ should be okay in doing that after he talked earlier to Willy. Jim Miller stated his thought would be to have Ted and Bruce Rose approach Harper Leavitt with that thought. They don’t want to undermine them. Councilmember Bean and the Mayor indicated they want the project under Keller and Associates and check the scope of work for the money. Councilmember Bean asked them to look at the issues and then bring them back to them. Added Item West Nile Virus Participation: Bruce Rose,City Administrator, asked Council to give Commissioner Dave Radford some time now and that the rest of items to wait for a little bit. Council agreed. Dave Radford, Bonneville County Commissioner, stated he was there to offer a County partnership. They are hoping the City will partnership with the County on the West Nile Virus. He explained last year they were number one in the state for West Nile Virus, as well as, the nation. They had 34 cases in Bonneville County with a City Council Minutes 07/05/2007 -- 4 few deaths. Bingham County had, per capita, the most amount of cases. There were 996 cases in the state, 1 in 5 have it but don’t know. You cannot donate blood anymore after you have had it. He explained there is 24 months to carry out an emergency plan. There are five basic areas to approach the problem. He explained through Resource Conservation Development District, which Ammon is a member; they have been able to obtain five interns to man nine traps in the county and try to find the Quilitz mosquito. Merlin Anderson will identify what we find in the traps and send it to Dr. Leslie Tingleson, who is the State Epidemiologist and her staff will gain knowledge where this mosquito is in the county. There are 2200 bodies of standing water in our county. The county will use two vehicles and gas and the RCD will provide the insurance. The State Department of Agriculture will get the kids certified. One from Texas is already certified. Donuts that will stunt the growth will cover a 100 foot area four feet deep for up to 150 days. The spread they have is a fertilizer, if they find the area where they breed, that will last about 14-19 days. He explained that one case is about $31,000 loss. So the economic damage last year with the 34 cases was about $1million. He is asking Ammon to partnership with them on the cause. He would like to see a $5000 support from Ammon. He stated, based on population, Idaho Falls would be about $40,000. They cannot levy for it this year, but can next year. Councilmember Bean asked what they will be asking Idaho Falls for. Dave Radford explained Idaho Falls has already spent some money with BTI. He explained each mosquito can lay 200 eggs, which cycle in 72 hours and they can fly 8.5 miles each. The fog costs th about $36,000 per evening and only good for 3 hours with no wind. It is 1/10 as effective. Larva sighting is much better. Mayor Ard asked how long the commitment would be. Dave Radford explained just for this year. He explained the benefit for the City is they will have someone insured, bonded and trained to deal with the situation. They feel they have a good program. They have three advisors on their committee – Wayne Jones, Jeff Pettingill, and Steve Smart. They will eventually create a separate taxing district which would be about $.60 on a $100,000 home, which is pretty cheap. Dave Radford explained the BYU- Idaho internship program and the credits they receive for the internship, as well as, the training we receive. Councilmember Thompson motioned to donate $5000 to mosquito abatement. Councilmember Waite seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Thompson – Yes, Councilmember Waite – yes, and Councilmember Bean – Yes. The motion passed. Council discussed their bond payoff schedule with Commissioner Radford for Ammon Town Center. It was discussed the levy rate keeps going down. Councilmember Bean commented even if the levy rate stays the same for 13 years, he still feels they won’t have the bond paid off. It was discussed we are .199. 3. Award Safe Routes to School Grant Bid and Authorize Notice to Proceed: City Administrator Bruce Rose explained after they received the grant, they solicited three bids. They have only received one bid back. It was Idaho Traffic and Safety. The bid is about $6000 less than what the original numbers we had for the grant. He explained we have to pay for this up front and then we get reimbursed. He feels we have covered all of our bases. Mayor Ard commented maybe we should add some more crosswalks. Councilmember Bean inquired about the flashing lights on Hillview; he asked if they are the ones we already have. Bruce Rose explained they are not being replaced, just being added too with radar detectors, etc. It was discussed they can be programmed, to time with the flashing lights, already in place. Councilmember Waite motioned to approve the Idaho Traffic Safety proposal bid and authorize them to proceed. Councilmember Thompson seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Waite – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, and Councilmember Bean – Yes. The motion passed. 4. Fiscal Year 2007 Audit Engagement Letter: City Administrator Bruce Rose explained this is the same letter they are given every year. The change is the dollar amount. It is an increase to $20,000. Last year it was budgeted for $13,000 but it will cost more than that. Councilmember Bean motioned to accept the engagement letter for the 2007 Audit. Councilmember Waite seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. 5.

He reminded them of the County’s dissatisfaction with the work being done. The County is now satisfied with the work. He explained the project is not complete, but should be done by about the second week of August. He asked them to consider paying the $107,359.88. Councilmember Bean inquired if it comes out of our pocket. Bruce Rose stated yes, it comes out of the water funds. He explained how the City will be reimbursed. The State will not remit their total obligation until the project is complete. He expects not to receive any more progress payment requests until the project is completed. Councilmember Bean motioned to approve the $107,359.88 progress payment to HK Contractors. Councilmember Waite seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. DISCUSSION ITEMS : 1. Electronic Reading of Water Meters: Councilmember Waite stated regarding the electronic reading of water meters he had a meeting with the vendor. He explained we have a hand-held reader that will read about 12 meters at a time, and then you come in and read it off the display manually and input it in the computer. It was discussed it cost $500. It was discussed it was Rick’s decision to purchase it with Bruce Rose’s approval. Bruce Rose explained the system they need will cost us $22,000, which included the software and a reader that is a radio system. It will read both ways, either by touching it or from the curb. He thinks it will hold about 99 readings. He stated you could make a big sweep from the truck and it would download from the truck. It was discussed that the only one we can read right now are the ones that have recently been put in. Councilmember Bean inquired if we have done enough research on this to know what meters can be read and if we have already put the right ones in. Councilmember Waite explained the capabilities of the readers. Leslie Folsom explained she gave a list of about 8 companies to Rick and a preferred list and she was curious which company Rick chose. Councilmember Bean thinks the only meters we have are the ones on the schools. Councilmember Bean commented he feels the research has not been done for what we really need. Councilmember Bean inquired to Councilmember Waite if he feels comfortable with this company and moving forward with it. Councilmember Waite stated he felt okay with it if everything they are saying is correct. It was discussed if the company was in the top three or four. Councilmember Bean is concerned about the installation of the software and that this is something we can really use and not have it be too technical for the equipment. It was discussed Lisa would have to be involved with the input process because it would download to her computer. Councilmember Bean inquired to Bruce Rose, if they put them on all the schools. It was discussed we would be reading 10-12 meters. Councilmember Bean stated he would like to know how much revenue we are generating from these meters. Bruce Rose commented about getting more information on this and getting the facts and figures together and go from there. Councilmember Waite stated the gentleman from the vendor would be willing to come to a work session. 2. Ammon Days Celebration Liability Insurance: City Administrator Bruce Rose spoke about the Ammon Days Celebration and the need for liability insurance. We are not the sole sponsor. We either need to consider ourselves as the sole sponsor and then accept the help of the other sponsors and cover them, or we could be a part-sponsor and have everyone pay their portion. Council discussed they would like to be the sole sponsor; it is a City of Ammon event. Bruce Rose stated then for insurance purposes, we will be the sole sponsor and cover them. Scott Hall stated we should have something that officially says it is an Ammon sponsored event and recognize the other sponsors for their help in making it a success. Bruce Rose explained that he would bring it back for approval in two weeks. 3. Misc.: Councilmember Waite stated he will not be here next week. It was discussed everyone will be here on th the 19 for a possible work session. It was discussed whether or not Councilmember Kirkham would be back by then. City Administrator Bruce Rose commented about a possible recognition for Bill Manwill. He suggested a plaque and thank you. Council discussed that would be good. City Council Minutes 07/05/2007 -- 6 Councilmember Bean stated that Councilmember Kirkham asked him to sit down with Bud from the Bonneville County Sheriff’s office. He stated he did and had a good talk with Bud. He told him where we are at on the contract. He feels we are closer to where we need to be. He explained we are leaning to starting our own force. He explained to Bud that they are willing to pay $755,000 but not the DARE officer. They talked about a possible Ammon shift, like it used to be. Councilmember Bean stated he recommended when we sign the contract that it be contingent upon an Ammon shift coming back. Their assignment would be here. It was discussed there are only four officers. He asked for approval for Bruce to put it on letterhead. Councilmember Bean also inquired that he needs to know what we have in escrow right now from developers for budget purposes. He stated they needed to break it down to separate line items. He would like the information, as soon as possible, because he is almost done with the preliminaries. Bruce Rose asked if next week would be okay. Councilmember Bean stated he would like them before the next work session and also allow Lisa to have some input for the work session. Bean discussed she may have to put in extra time. th Ron Folsom explained he will be out of town on the 19 and he has one item he would like to discuss. He asked if it would be okay if he does not have a projector presentation on it. He feels the Planning and Zoning’s recommendations will be sufficient. Scott Hall inquired about the blocking of sidewalks by vehicles. He is concerned about the safety of children. Councilmember Bean commented that we should instruct Ty to look for these situations and give people warnings. Council discussed the water conservation issue. Councilmember Bean inquired to Bruce regarding invoices for replacing windshields. Bruce Rose explained we do not have glass coverage. Every city claim we have has a $500 deductible. Councilmember Bean also inquired about the amount for Blue Shield of $12,100, and wanted to know if this is the amount we agreed to. Bruce explained there is one employee added. Councilmember Bean inquired about the Pitney Bowes reimbursement. Leslie and Bruce explained why we had to put the amount on Bruce’s card. Leslie Folsom explained it was a postage setup cost and Bruce prepaid it. Councilmember Bean motioned to adjourn to executive session for personnel. Councilmember Thompson seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, and Councilmember Waite – Yes. The motion passed. The meeting adjourned at 9:55 p.m. ___________________________________________ C. Bruce Ard, Mayor ______________________________________ Leslie Folsom, City Clerk City Council Minutes 07/05/2007 -- 7
