MINUTES City Officials Present: Mayor Bruce Ard Councilmember Dana Kirkham Councilmember Lee Bean Councilmember Randy Waite Councilmember Rex Thompson (arrived at 4:27 p.m.) Council Minutes 1-8-09 Page 1 of 7 Councilmember D. Ray Ellis City Attorney Scott Hall City Clerk Leslie Folsom City Treasurer Jennifer Belfield City Planning Director Ron Folsom City Engineer Lance Bates City Officials Absent: Councilmember Brian Powell Mayor Ard opened the meeting at 4:12 p.m. at the City Building located at 2135 South Ammon Road. EXECUTIVE SESSION: Due to Councilmember Thompson’s absence, Mayor Ard decided tostart at Item #3 from the work session. After Item #3 there is the motion to go into executive session. 1. Legal Issues (Bean): …………………………………………………………………………………………………… WORK SESSION: 1. Sewer Evaluation Proposal – Forsgren & Assoc.: Tabled until further notice. 2. Dist. 93 (Ron): Ron stated they can’t talk about the zoning or site plan or it would become quazi- judicial. Scott Hall stated that they needed to make sure there was no ex-parte information. Councilmember Bean suggested that it would be better for Ron to be the presenter. Ron presented the map of Sunnyside Rd on the overhead projector. The property owned by John Empey is approximately 80 acres that runs north to south on the eastside of the railroad tracks. The annexation will be requested on the entire property. The school district has purchased 15 acres right at the end of Princess, which would include the frontage and right away for all of Princess Drive to be extended to their boundary. The fire department was concerned about the school having only one access to this property for the indefinite future. Dana asked if there were any options to purchase easements to have a second access. Ron said there is a house that sits in the way. John Empey’s property is empty. There is a canal that runs adjacent to the church and runs along to the end of Wayne. When the church bought the property they purchased the entire eastern boundary next to the canal. There is a possibility of a flood channel running through part of the Empey property and John has stated he would cooperate with the City regarding the flood channel. Dana said we cannot work with one access. We have to be able to secure a second access but she does see some options. Roger Hill, 3497 N. Ammon Rd., Bonneville School District stated this is a half mile section and the piece we have is about 665 feet from the back of the south end of the homes on Wanda so probably 2000 ft. approximately. When Roger first looked at the map a year or two ago, it showed that Wanda came through and he thinks they bought down to about 30 or 40 feet past the south end of the platted property lines of the lots to the east. The reason for this is so the school could tie into the road but there is a house in the way, using Wanda as a driveway. The people who live on the south side of Mason have bought those other lots to the south, so they have deep lots. If that individual was willing to give us a right away for a road this would be a shorter distance than going to Sunnyside. Ron stated even if they could gain a temporary access, then it could be incorporated when they bring the channel across. The City would probably want to extend Majestic if we don’t have to run the flood channel there. If we need to run the flood channel there, then we wouldn’t want a road. The City’s easement ends at Majestic. Alan Cunningham, 1020 Lincoln Rd. stated they are trying to work out a flood channel, where in this specific area they are trying to help the school out in terms of finding a location that is conducive to them, as well as the City. We want to look at potentially developing this piece of property and for right now, we are looking at just having one access. In the long term development, roads will extend further to the south while accommodating the flood channel and roads will eventually connect onto Wayne Ave. When you start a general subdivision, you usually only have one access in there. He would like to have a feel for how the council feels about one access. Councilmember Kirkham stated we need to explore a second access. Based on the standard, we have made White Pines acquire land to put in an emergency access into their school and a whole neighborhood that we ended Council Minutes 1-8-09 Page 2 of 7 up making the road and neighborhood a private road because they wouldn’t put a second access into the neighborhood. We would be negligent, if we put a school in and did not require a secondary emergency access. Councilmember Bean said they might want to look at buying the house on Mason Street and extending Mason. To put that much traffic on Princess, which is a very narrow street, it really poses a significant problem to bring all of the traffic in and out. If Princess is going to be a primary access, some additional easement needs to be obtained there and the road needs to be widened. Alan said he thinks that Princess is actually wider than the 32 foot asphalt in Rimrock. Scott Hall stated the major difference between this, Rimrock and Woodland Hills is they are both on major arterials. Councilmember Kirkham said with all due respect to the schools, we have asked them to take them off of major arterials. Alan stated the owner, John Empey is probably only looking at selling a portion of the property and we don’t want to run a temporary access right through the middle of his field. Alan stated he is sensitive to this and will look into options. Alan asked if the access has to be permanent or an all weather access. Councilmember Kirkham responded that White Pines it is an emergency access, however, Council would like to see two accesses with both being permanent accesses, if possible. Scott Hall asked doesn’t the flood channel issue go away, if you purchase that house on Mason because you don’t have a residence and you don’t have to worry about where the flood channel goes? Councilmember Bean said if you bring the road anywhere to south of Crowley, you are going to be dealing with the potential flood channel coming through that we don’t know where it is but, if we bought the home on Mason you wouldn’t have to worry about a flood channel. Alan stated but you would still have a flood channel come through. Councilmember Thompson said then the school wouldn’t have to deal with it. Councilmember Ellis said he is in agreement that we need to look at two accesses. Alan said he thinks the council has been very clear on needing a second access and if they come to the Council with only one access, they better have a good reason. He feels with City is being fair. Councilmember Bean asked Roger what his schedule was on this. Roger stated he would like to be breaking ground by the end of May. 3. IT, Parks & Building Budget reductions: Bruce Patterson, Systems Administrator, prepared a spreadsheet for the Council that showed a year end high and low projection which he expects will fall somewhere in-between these numbers. There was a contingency, that the I.T. Department to put into place if we were not doing the feasibility study, which would allow him to come in a little bit lower. Bruce stated that he has cut most of the capital projects but has kept the support and contracts. Councilmember Ellis asked, under computer software support, there is a budget of zero but a year to date of $14,000.00. Bruce said when the budget was prepared these GL codes and descriptions didn’t exist, they were created afterwards. However, if you look at Maintenance and Operations, there is a huge amount budgeted and I haven’t spent anything out of there. Bruce stated he feels fairly confident he will not be going over his budget. Bruce stated his only concern is with One Connects failure, which was our provider. This might force us to move to a new system. Charlie Allen, Building Official, presented a document to the Council regarding buildings budget cuts. Charlie would like the council’s permission to involve Allen Eldridge, working with Lance to get some mapping done on the City’s subdivisions, for approx. 4 hours per day for a couple of months. Lance stated this will give us the redline drawings on the subdivisions, to which, most have not been completed. Councilmember Bean asked Lance if he has the money in his budget for the salary. Lance said there was money budgeted for a public works director or secretary. If we don’t hire somebody, then Allen can accomplish some of the same things. Councilmember Bean stated he is hesitant to shift payroll from Charlie to Lance. Lance is comfortable having Allen work the 4 hours because he doesn’t think he needs the public works director, at this time. Lance said he would rather use in-house employees during the slow down the City is experiencing. Councilmember Bean asked Charlie if Allen has specific inspection certifications that only he can do or do we have other inspectors in our office that can. Charlie stated this is to divert some time until the items that we have coming online starts. Council inquired as to what these are. Charlie stated Hawks Landing, Vision Center, Dental Office, Stake Center, and there is talk of a new school. Councilmember Bean asked what percentage of Allen’s time is being utilized by the building department. Charlie stated only 3 to 4 hours a day. Councilmember Ellis asked if he had considered a short work week for staff. Charlie said he had discussed it with staff and they discussed 4 – 9 hour days. There were a couple of people that were not in favor of this. Councilmember Bean stated he doesn’t want the hours cut back, at this time. Councilmember Bean asked Lance if he really doesn’t believe he needs a public works director. Are you comfortable taking all the Council Minutes 1-8-09 Page 3 of 7 complaint calls? Lance said there is a need for a public works director, however, whether we need it today, or in 2 months or in 6 months he isn’t sure. If he hires a public works director just to take calls, are they really going to be more effective than he is right now? Councilmember Bean wants Gay to be used by Lance, also. Council wants Gay and Allen to keep track of actual hours and only bill for the hours they work for Lance. Ken Knoch, Parks Director, stated he cut all his projects, equipment and one man for the year. Councilmember Bean asked Ken to bring it back in a written format. Ken stated he would do this. Councilmember Bean motioned to move into executive session pursuant to Idaho Code 67-2345 Subsection 1 (f). Councilmember Kirkham seconded.

ITEMS FOR/FROM TREASURER: Jennifer Belfield has received all the auditing adjusting journal entries and the financial statements will be in next week and the Council will have their quarterly draft. PUBLIC HEARINGS: None PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA: Darrell Gardner, 1167 Jackson, Ammon presented a petition regarding the snowplowing in his area. They really appreciate the snowplow people and the work they have done this winter, but the problem they are experiencing is that there are a lot of disabled, elderly and widows on Jackson Drive and when the road is plowed they pile the snow in the driveways and the gutters so the people cannot get out of their garages. They really appreciate that 4 days later the backhoe came through to clean out the driveways, but they would like the backhoe to come a little sooner than 4 days so that people can get out of their driveways. Council Minutes 1-8-09 Page 5 of 7 Mayor Ard said he had been out of town for a couple days and he and the some of the Council had taken a ride with Lance Bates to review the snow issue. ACTION ITEMS: 1. Turtle Bay Club House – Request for review to be allowed to sell memberships outside of The Cottages: Rick Adolpho, 2658 Stafford Dr, came forward for the Council to ask questions. Councilmember Kirkham said his letter does not specify where he is going to sell additional memberships. Are you looking to sell throughout the City or in specific areas? Rick responded he has had offers from people in Eagle Point, Villas, and Quail Ridge. Councilmember Kirkham asked if he was looking to sell City wide. Councilmember Bean asked if he has sold any outside of his development. Rick stated he hasn’t sold any memberships outside of the city because of the issues that Ron and Dana had brought up and he didn’t want to go into any of those complications. Councilmember Kirkham stated she had a concern having it open ended, that the initial conversations were that it would never be like an Apple Athletic and wouldn’t be available for just anyone to purchase. She would have a really hard time approving selling it throughout the City because it is an existing neighborhood and people bought in there with the expectation that there wouldn’t be a facility like that in there. Councilmember Kirkham asked how you would enforce parking. Rick stated it would be enforced like anything else, the conditional use still stands. Councilmember Kirkham responded the difference is, if you are going to have more members outside the area, the potential to for them to drive is higher. We only have one enforcement officer and it would increase the need for our officer to patrol the parking in that area. Rick said he understands this perfectly. It’s kind of the same principal that 100% of them would come from outside neighborhoods and would have to drive in but they would understand and be in compliance of the conditional use permit that they are not allowed to park on the streets. Councilmember Thompson inquired as to how many parking spots there are. Rick stated there are 10 available parking spots. Rick requested possibly allowing 15-20 memberships sold outside of the cottages. Councilmember Bean stated this is supposed to be a neighborhood facility and giving permission to sell outside of the area would turn it into a commercial entity. It was never presented as a facility to benefit the city; it was presented as a neighborhood facility. Scott Hall stated if the Council wanted to do this request, he would need to file to amend his conditional use permit. Councilmember Kirkham said this would open it up for public opinion again. Scott said everything would be open even previous agreements. Councilmember Bean polled the Council. Councilmember Bean would say no. Councilmember Kirkham stated that since he doesn’t need to sell the memberships, she would say no. Councilmember Ellis would say no because if we open it up, we would have to open it up for the entire City. Councilmember Waite said no since it would be like an Apple Athletic Club. Councilmember Thompson stated that this was presented as only for the neighborhood. Councilmember Kirkham said she listened to the tapes, since she was absent for the meeting and he said it is a neighborhood pool for the Cottages. Rick said he remembers saying it was a neighborhood pool. Councilmember Kirkham stated that Rick had said he would only sell memberships in the Cottages. Councilmember Kirkham said he can request to amend his conditional use and come back to Council. 2. Hawks Landing Offsite Sewer Agreement: Councilmember Ellis motioned to approve the City of Ammon Offsite Sewer Agreement with Hawks Landing for their Planned Unit Development. Councilmember Bean seconded the motion. Roll call vote: Councilmember Ellis – Yes, Councilmember Bean – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, and Councilmember Kirkham – Yes. The motion passed. 3. Ordinance 469 – Title 1, Chapter 4 and Title 9, Chapter 9: Ron covered the items in brief. Councilmember Thompson asked a question about the snow proclamation regarding sidewalks being right of way. He asked that the wording be changed so the sidewalk is clarified. Ron said he will change the wording so it says from private property or sidewalks. Councilmember Waite read Ordinance 469 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AMMON, OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, AMENDING TITLE 1, GENERAL ADMINISTRATION, CHAPTER 4, GENERAL PENALTY PROVISIONS; TITLE 9, TRAFFIC REGULATIONS AND CONTROL, CHAPTER 9, SNOW REMOVAL; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; REPEALING CONFLICTING Councilmember Waite motioned to recommend that the city ORDINANCES AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. council dispense with the rule requiring the reading of the ordinance on three different days and that the three readings be waived. Councilmember Ellis seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Waite – Yes, Councilmember Ellis - Yes, Councilmember Thompson - Yes, Councilmember Bean – Yes, and Councilmember Kirkham – Yes. The motion passed. Council Minutes 1-8-09 Page 6 of 7 Councilmember Waite read Ordinance 469 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AMMON, OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, AMENDING TITLE 1, GENERAL ADMINISTRATION, CHAPTER 4, GENERAL PENALTY PROVISIONS; TITLE 9, TRAFFIC REGULATIONS AND CONTROL, CHAPTER 9, SNOW REMOVAL; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; REPEALING CONFLICTING Councilmember Waite moved the adoption of Ordinance 469 as ORDINANCES AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. an ordinance of the City of Ammon on this third and final reading. Councilmember Ellis seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Waite – Yes, Councilmember Ellis - Yes, Councilmember Thompson - Yes, Councilmember Bean – Yes, and Councilmember Kirkham – Yes. The motion passed. 4. Resolution 2009-001 – Snow Proclamation: Councilmember Thompson asked about the area by Trailwood where 25 cars were parked by people catching the bus to the INL. Councilmember Bean stated he would like Shawna to tag their cars with the parking notice. Council wants a press release issued for the radio and newspaper. Councilmember Ellis said he had already told the citizens in Hillview. Council said this area is one of the hardest areas due to the width of the streets. Councilmember Ellis motioned to accept Resolution 2009-001 Snow Proclamation. Councilmember Waite seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Ellis – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Bean – No, he feels it’s ambiguous and unenforceable, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. 5. RE: P&Z Re-Appointments and Appointments: Mayor Ard asked the Council to support the new appointments for P&Z. Russell Slack is from Centennial Ranch from which we don’t have any representation, at this time. Mayor Ard said that it’s important to keep experience in the commission for their knowledge and history of previous facts. Scott said Greg is also valuable with his legal knowledge for the commission. ? Cindy Donovan – Originally Appointed - 1-17-2002 ? Greg Maeser – Originally Appointed – 2-20-1997 ?

Councilmember Kirkham stated she will email the Council with the choices so they can advise her as to what choices they would like. Councilmember Ellis stated that the City will be opening bids for the water transmission lines and notice to proceed on the Well House 10. He stated that it looks like we might be $300,000 under budget on our water project and is going to see if we can apply it to the public works building as a support structure. Lance said we will need to make a specific mention that it will be for water support and the SCADA system and control will be located in the building. Lance pulled up the preliminary building design and showed the Council. Councilmember Kirkham motioned to adjourn. Councilmember Ellis seconded. Roll call vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Ellis – Yes, Councilmember Waite – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes and Councilmember Bean – Yes. The motion passed. The meeting adjourned at 8:27 p.m. _______________________________ C. Bruce Ard, Mayor ______________________________ Leslie Folsom, City Clerk Council Minutes 1-8-09 Page 7 of 7
