Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Slack – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, Councilmember Powell – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. Accounts Payable – Exhibit A: Councilmember Powell asked about the City of Shelley $4100 expense. Jennifer explained this is part of the DEQ request for the Sewer Project where the City of Shelley pays Forsgren and Ammon reimburses them. Councilmember Powell asked about the $71,000. Lance stated it was part of the interceptor. Council Minutes 4-22-10 Page 2 of 9 Councilmember Kirkham motioned to approve accounts payable, as presented. Councilmember Coletti seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, Councilmember Slack – Yes, and Councilmember Powell – Yes. The motion passed. ITEMS FOR/FROM TREASURER: EIRWWA Billings - Balance Forwards (Bean)*: Jennifer explained that the Regional has submitted a billing for the overages, however, there were credits forwarded from the City of Shelley who had paid for the months of Oct/Nov/Dec. Jennifer asked for clarification of how to proceed with the credits. Councilmember Kirkham said these invoices should be paid from January on and the past ones should stay in the bank, since it wasn’t the City of Ammon’s money that was paid here. Jennifer asked if there is a credit, do we get it. Council said no. Jennifer reconfirmed if Shelley covers all of it then we don’t pay and don’t get a credit, but if we owe then we pay. Jennifer wanted approval for the payment of the bills. Jennifer stated Ammon Days is coming up and she asked if we could purchase t-shirts for the volunteers of Ammon Days. Council agreed to pay for the shirts, however, they would like a price before they totally approve. Jennifer also requested the Council let her know who will participate in the City booth. Councilmember Kirkham motioned to amend the agenda and add the EIRWWA billings as Action Item #1, due to the timely nature of four months past due to pay the bill. Councilmember Powell seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Powell – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, Councilmember Slack – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA: None PUBLIC HEARINGS: None ACTION ITEMS: 1. EIRWWA Billings:Councilmember Kirkham made the motion to direct Jennifer to pay the Jan., Feb., and March bills for the EIRWWA. Councilmember Powell seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Powell – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, and Councilmember Slack - Yes. The motion passed. 2. Boy Scouts of America Park Usage Rate (Ken/Leslie)*: Leslie stated the Boy Scouts of America has requested park usage for a 24 hour period. Our resolution charges $50 for every 4 hours, which totals $300. They will also rent the pool for 4 hours at $100 per hour, which they are fine with since we have to pay the lifeguards and the maintenance of the pool. She asked Council if they would allow the Boy Scouts to donate 120 hours of labor in exchange for the park fee. The Council discussed to have them come apply for the nonprofit grant for the park rental. Leslie will have them apply. Councilmember Kirkham motioned to give staff direction to handle the Boy Scouts of America park usage rate the same as we handle nonprofit organizations in our City. Councilmember Slack seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Slack – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, and Councilmember Powell – Yes. The motion passed. Council Minutes 4-22-10 Page 3 of 9 3. Conditional Use Permit Request for Renewal of Turtle Bay Clubhouse and Tennis Courts th (Ron)*: Ron advised the Public Hearing was held on April 7 at Planning & Zoning (P&Z). There were four people that testified. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) expires at the end of the month. Tom Hunsaker presented the findings. P&Z recommended renewing the CUP with a 4 year renewal, instead of a 2 year renewal. The vote was 4 for and 2 against. Ron said this Conditional Use Permit was based in a zone where it is not usually allowed, but is being permitted as a conditional use as long as the use still fits the neighborhood. This was granted in 2008 with a 2 year renewal. Ron stated the conditions. Councilmember Kirkham asked how the enforcement is working for the issue of no parking on the street. Ron said we site the people. Adolpho usually asks them to move, or the police will need to be contacted. Scott said one of the stipulations was specifically that he could not sell memberships outside of the complex. Ron said it was discussed, but it was not part of the motion. Scott asked if we have a current $1 million policy. Ron said there was a lapse of approx. 60 days, at one time. Councilmember Kirkham said since it’s not zoned commercial, then it can’t extend the membership. She asked if they removed the tennis courts, would that give enough parking space to meet commercial parking requirements. Ron said yes based on the occupancy. Tom Hunsaker said some things that were not brought up at P&Z were the streets and the safety. Parking in the streets in the Cottages will deteriorate the streets. P&Z talked about extending the memberships beyond the Cottages, which went back and forth. One of the things against it is this is a residential area, but on the other hand the question is if it will fold without the outside memberships. The goal is for it to be a member owned facility. The permanent memberships should be sold with the house and not move from the property. Councilmember Coletti asked how many parking spaces there are. Lance said there are no parking spaces marked, but it could be 3 maybe 4. Councilmember Slack asked about where it says 10 spots. Lance said if it was marked then it would only be 3 maybe 4. Councilmember Kirkham said the CUP has six requirements, but feels we need to address th amending the CUP and include a 7 prohibiting selling outside the Cottages. Scott said he is uncomfortable from a legal aspect with the P&Z recommendation allowing an automatic renewal, unless there are complaints. He feels it either needs to be permanent or it has to be renewed in a public hearing. Ron said the intent of the motion was if the City received complaints then the renewal would have to be heard, but if there were no complaints it would be an automatic renewal. Scott cautioned the Council this is too vague and full of problems. Scott said being without insurance is also an issue. He recommends the City shut down the facility with any lapse of insurance. Councilmember Kirkham said 60 days without insurance she feels would be a violation of the CUP. Ron said it expired Nov 21 and we received the policy renewal March nd 2, so it was over 90 days. Scott said the insurance helps protect the City. Councilmember Coletti asked Scott if you can change the CUP with the renewal. Scott said you can put any conditions you want on this permit. Councilmember Powell said he’s not comfortable going over two years, since it is in a residential area. Ron said there were four complaints – one for noise and three for parking. Councilmember Slack wanted to discuss selling memberships outside of the Cottages. Councilmember Kirkham asked Rick how many memberships he has sold. Rick said 20. She asked him how many he was trying to sell. Rick said 80. Councilmember Coletti said the outside ones would not walk to the facility. Lance said there is no parking requirement, since it is not a commercial venture. Councilmember Kirkham said she has an issue with a commercial venture inside of a residential area. Councilmember Slack asked if the membership stays with the house. Councilmember Kirkham said the Council has been told it stays with the house. Councilmember Kirkham said she hears from people that they didn’t buy into a neighborhood for traffic with a commercial venture. She wants to know whose interest do you protect – the neighbors or Rick’s. Councilmember Slack asked if we could find a middle road approach and possibly allow 15% outside of the area. Scott said you can ask for another Public Council Minutes 4-22-10 Page 4 of 9 Hearing. Councilmember Powell said he has seen the pool and it is very well built. He has been there for events and if you sell memberships from outside, you will have people in that you don’t know with their friends that you don’t know. Councilmember Slack asked if we could grant a temporary extension. Ron said yes. Councilmember Powell said let’s grant a temporary extension and ask for another Public Hearing. Charlie Allen, City Building Official said this was approved as a residential use and it was not rated as a commercial building, which would require different restrooms and showers. Councilmember Kirkham said it is rated for 77 persons. There are different rules for residential and commercial. If you aren’t opening it up for outside memberships, then it’s fine. If it is opened up, the building would have to be changed. Councilmember Kirkham said for every instance where we made an exception to the rule, it just doesn’t work out. The Council needs to learn from these mistakes and unfortunately when we bend the rules, it just doesn’t work. Rick Adolpho, 2658 Stafford Drive addressed the comments being made about the parking: there has never been a citation, no emergency vehicles dispatched, and no injuries. Councilmember Kirkham said not yet. There have been no written complaints. This building cost $800,000 to build, it’s a permanent building and the comments have been good rather than negative. Councilmember Kirkham said you are correct, since it is not being sold outside and there are only 20 memberships. Rick said maybe having a HOA take over, so he can pay his debts and walk away from his losses. He understands the Council’s concerns. Councilmember Kirkham said it is an extra burden on the City for the enforcement of the parking. Councilmember Slack asked the Council if they would want to have a Public Hearing concerning this CUP. Council stated they would. Scott said the Council will need to decide when and the Council needs to extend the current permit for 30 days. The Council will also need to decide who and how the Council will give notice of the Public Hearing. Councilmember Slack would like the residents to come and help resolve this issue. Councilmember Kirkham motioned to extend the current CUP for 30 days and hold the th Public Hearing on May 20 and notify every home in the Cottages and the other agencies, since it will have a direct effect on the residents and they should have the right to have their say. Ron said the cost for 156 homes would be $310 and publication of $80, plus surrounding areas of 300 feet so it will be close to $500. Councilmember Slack seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Slack – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, and Councilmember Powell – Yes. The motion passed. Ron said he will add language to his letter stating it is for selling memberships outside the Cottages. Scott said we tabled any action on that today other than extending the permit. Council said yes. 4. Conditional Use Permit District 93 – Request for Modular’s at Hillcrest High School th (Ron)*: Ron stated this item was heard on April 7 at the Planning & Zoning level. The recommendation was to approve the CUP for Site B. They showed 2 possible locations, Site A being near the tennis courts and they have since determined Site B would be the best location for utilities. Tom Hunsaker said the school is over the 1200 student limit by 86 and will go up 65 more next year. P&Z thought this was a good site for the modular. Ron said they also recommended a five year renewal. Councilmember Powell asked if they are going to be asking for more modulars within the next five years. Councilmember Slack would like to know the capacity of the other schools and if they are overflowing. Tom said they are overflowing both high schools; the middle schools may have to take thth the 9 graders back, or put 6 graders in there. Councilmember Kirkham said she has a thought. The City has an issue for the sewer line and we need an easement for the sewer. Lance explained this is with the separation from IBSD and he wants to Council Minutes 4-22-10 Page 5 of 9 make sure we have the opportunity to get a sewer line through the area. Roger said he thought the City had an easement there for the water line. Lance said it has to be 11 feet away and most easements are only 15 feet wide. Roger said if that’s a 10 or 20 foot wide easement, there is plenty of room for another one. Roger asked where the easement will be. Lance said we don’t have the exact location, but it needs to be in that general location from Owen Street over to the pavement over on Derrald. Roger said it would need to go before the board. Roger felt there could be discussion with the District concerning this matter. Councilmember Kirkham asked if the modulars have been ordered. Roger said yes. Councilmember Kirkham asked if they had already purchased them and did they assume we would approve this. Roger said yes they did. There will be four classrooms. Lance said the existing easement through the practice field area is all grass and he would have to put a manhole in the middle of the practice field. He would like to straight shoot another easement, and then we don’t have to have a manhole in the middle of a practice field. Roger asked if he was talking about coming from the roadway and then coming across the cul-de-sac. Lance said yes, this is why he wants a new easement, so he doesn’t have to have a manhole in the practice field. Councilmember Kirkham asked him if he can go back and get the easement, then come for the modular. Lance said it would be a couple of months to get a legal description for the easement. Councilmember Thompson said he can see the School District coming back every year for two buildings a year, until the new high school gets built. Roger said the P&Z recommended five years on the permit. Every Public Hearing costs $500 and he would like to avoid the cost. th Scott asked Roger if the board looked at moving the 9 graders back into the Junior Highs. Roger said the problem with that is the freshmen are actually high school students. They start getting their high school credits; they are involved in sports and AP classes. It is better to have the freshman with the high school. They looked at putting a wing on each high school, but those students still have to come into the high school for some of their activities. So you are putting another 400 students into a school that is already crowded. Scott asked if the wing was a freshman wing. Roger said yes. The District is trying to keep the modulars at Rimrock and Woodland Hills vacant, since it costs about $4000 each to move them. Scott asked the Council if it was granted for the purpose of a classroom or to put it on the site. Ron said if they wanted to come in and build a storage shed and not use them they wouldn’t have to ask for a CUP, but they would have to ask for a building permit. Councilmember Slack asked how long until the other four will no longer be used. Roger said they moved all of them away from Iona and after Bridgewater and Discovery were built. Councilmember Slack said there will only be 7 in use, since the rest will be vacant. th Roger said they are looking at a school site at Crowley and 49 South. They are also ndth looking at another on 52 East with another at 49 South and St. Clair. They have recently purchased 80 st acres north of 1 Street for a secondary school from Suitter with another additional 20 acres. Councilmember Slack motioned to approve Conditional Use Permit for District 93 to have two modulars at the Hillcrest High School with an expiration of three years. Councilmember Coletti seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Slack – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, Councilmember Powell – Yes, Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. Councilmember Kirkham asked Lance to contact Roger about the easement. Lance stated he will. 5. Proposed Amendments to Farmers Market Policy and Procedures 30-001-1 (Ron)*: Ron said last year we didn’t have enough hard surfaces and the required parking was too expensive. In working with the fire dept they would have to meet our standards of a 10 x 20 parking surface to have 2 rows of perpendicular parking spaces and a 25 foot drive aisle. Kurt’s only concern was if we were away from fire hydrants and they actually had a car fire, he couldn’t get to it with a truck. The items added are: Council Minutes 4-22-10 Page 6 of 9 it has to be within 300 feet of a fire hydrant, display booths couldn’t be by an automobile due to the potential fire hazard, every booth had to have a fire extinguisher, and clean up and remove any and all materials, all electrical connections have to be approved and inspected and generators would have to be approved by Council. Councilmember Slack motioned to approve the amendments to the Farmers Market Policy and Procedures 30-001-1, as it stands. Councilmember Coletti seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Slack – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, Councilmember Powell – Yes, and Councilmember Kirkham – Yes. The motion passed. 6. Resolution 2010-009 Farmers Market Policy and Procedures 30-001-1 (Ron)*: Councilmember Kirkham motioned to adopt Resolution 2010-009 Farmers Market Policy and Procedures 30-001-1, as presented. Councilmember Coletti seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, Councilmember Slack – Yes, Councilmember Powell – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. DISCUSSION ITEMS: 1. Garbage Clean-Up Day (Mayor): Mayor Steve said the City hasn’t done anything officially the last few years and he would like to market it to the people. Leslie presented a proposed flyer to the Council that we can put in with the next statements. She explained that it was cheaper to print it in color rather than black and white, due to the contract. Statements will be going out tomorrow morning. Ray said this is a joint venture and it has been put in many of the LDS church bulletins. The City got involved with the interfaith church groups. Call backs will be picked up including Saturdays. If a senior citizen calls to pick up tires, we will do our best to try and accommodate them. Councilmember Powell thinks it’s a great idea. Ray said if a citizen calls and wants to cut a tree, they will try and have a truck there for them to load and we will take care of it. Councilmember Kirkham asked if they will take it, if the lid won’t shut all the way. Ray said if they overfill it will be just fine, but if trash is hanging over the side the arm will jostle it and then they won’t be able to pick it up. Ray said they are trying to be as supportive as they can during these 8 days. Council is good with proceeding with the flyer. Leslie advised the Council that the other side will be for the softball and swim group information. 2. Office of Energy Resource Grant (Coletti/Charlie): Charlie updated the Council on the grant requirements. This is an energy conservation block grant with Allen Eldridge as our energy official and he will enforce regular code, inspections and the energy code. The City submitted plan of action. It came to $106,000 and the maximum award was $100,000, which the City received. There will be approx. $7000 plus approx. $2600 of equipment that will come out of the City’s budget. He is trying to apply for a NEA grant for the $2600 for equipment. It is a two year grant of $50,000 per year. 3. Reverse Calling – Utility Downtime (Kirkham/Lance): Councilmember Kirkham stated there was an issue with Quailridge and the water was turned off without notice. She is working with Textwire, who provides this service to the School District. The program is to call or text the masses. She is basing her bid request on 4500 users, which she will bring back to Council. It is similar to the 911 reverse calling. The constituents would have to consent for the texting. thth 4. 17 Street Design Update (Lance): Lance stated that Idaho Falls has had 17 and Hitt looked at for a design update. Idaho Falls is requesting participation from the City of Ammon. Lance likes option 8B, where the Ammon portion or east leg of the intersection includes 2 left hand turn lanes, a Council Minutes 4-22-10 Page 7 of 9 straight through lane, and a shared straight through and right turn bay and would require some right-of- way purchased from Soapy’s. His intention is to write that alternative 8B is the best one and move forward. They would like some input touching on the MOU, which currently states we will share in costs of 50% of the improvements. The design includes median treatments in front of Target and Wal-Mart. Idaho Falls would like some communication concerning these improvements. It is a landscaping medium with U-turn opportunities. This would prevent a straight across shot from Target into the Mall parking lot. Councilmember Thompson asked if that was the $200,000 option. Lance said that would include more than that. It was closer to $300,000. Councilmember Coletti stated he thought one of the options at Target was a right turn only lane. Lance said this would be a right turn only option, but you would have a U-turn possibility up the street. Councilmember Powell said he feels this is the right time to address the MOU. Councilmember Thompson said the MOU was to build the road, but not all the improvements. Scott said it was going South of where Hitt was, which was at Sunnyside. Ron said South of Sunnyside is Hackman Road. Even the official address of the Idaho Falls Sandcreek golf course shows Hackman Road. Councilmember Kirkham would like the Mayor to write a letter stating we would like to address the MOU. She wants both of the Council’s to sit together as a group. She asked Ron to draft the letter with Lance’s input and have the Council look at it in two weeks for approval. Councilmember Powell said the purpose of the letter is that we have a good working relationship going forward. We will be happy to post the meeting and have it here. Leslie said we can set the tables in a circle to handle this. st 5. 1 Street Design Update (Lance): Lance said the last time the Council discussed getting a term limit agreement for engineering services with Local Transportation Authority Commission (LTAC) which is like a separate District of ITD. The MOU is with Bonneville County, but if we intend to design this and get federal funds he has to go this direction. He might be able to approach BMPO and not involve LTAC. He is going to try this direction to get First Street designed. He hopes within a month he can sit down with BMPO and in four to five months have the term agreements. th Councilmember Powell asked if Sunnyside west of Crowley and 17 at Walgreen’s are still on st schedule to be seal coated. Councilmember Kirkham asked about the pothole on 21Street. Ray said we had an air release valve malfunction, which allowed the water to come back. It will need to be repaired before we can patch the road. Lance said the high priority was First Street. Does the Council want this thst changed? Councilmember Powell said his priority would be Sunnyside, 17, and 1 Street. Lance said chip seal will not work on 17th. Ray stated the section from Ammon Road to Hitt Road is to be done this summer. Lance said from Ammon Road to Crowley Road, that chip seal won’t work – it needs to be rebuilt including the widening of the road. Lance asked if the Council wanted to change the priority from th First Street to 17. Councilmember Powell said we are already doing First Street and probably need to proceed on this, then Sunnyside. 6. IBSD Flow Separation Update (Lance): Lance said there is a draft report that Forsgren is th giving comments on. It addresses Centennial Ranch, South of 17 Street, and another area by Tie Breaker. This will mean possibly changing some customers from Ammon to IBSD and vice-versa. There is a 30-inch bypass line in the mitigation agreement between Ammon and IBSD that is moving forward. Part of this evening’s discussions included the easement with the school, and they are moving forward with that. There is more in-depth information about which sides of the road we will have to run on. We th have proposed to go down 17 to Midway, down Midway to Rawson, Rawson to Western, Western to Owen, from the end of Owen across the school parking lot to Derrald, Derrald to Eagle, and down to Eagle to Sunnyside. Councilmember Powell asked how much of that road we will be tearing up is. Lance said the length is 1.85 miles with maybe ½ mile that won’t be in the asphalt, but any other route would be the full length in asphalt. Council Minutes 4-22-10 Page 8 of 9 7. Misc.: Lance had a speed study done on Eagle and the recommendation is to increase the speed to 35 mph. Lance said he has a stop sign warrant study for Tiebreaker and John Adams Parkway. Councilmember Kirkham said the patrons need to go to the school board and request a full time crossing guard there. Lance said the Eagle traffic study showed he probably needs a stop study warrant, but he suspects it won’t meet the warrants. He wants to increase the speed to 35 mph. Councilmember Slack said his question is - doesn’t the City have the authority to put up stop signs. Lance said if you do this without following MUTCD, then you won’t be able to get any federal funding for road projects, sewer projects etc. Leslie said there were two accidents last month, which one was inattentive driving and the other ran the stop sign. Bonneville County has been proactive on issuing tickets for running the stop signs on Eagle. Lance said Tiebreaker and John Adams didn’t meet the warrants, it only met it for 15 minutes, but not the rest of the day. Councilmember Thompson agreed. Ron advised the Council he would like to hold the P&Z appreciation dinner on Wednesday, May th 5 at Chuck-A-Rama at 6:30 p.m. He will email the Council with the information. Councilmember Coletti updated the Council on the INL parking situation. The Calgary church parking lot is on board starting Monday. There are 100 parking spots available. He wanted to know if the Council wants to see the May newsletter. Council would like Leslie to email a copy to them. Leslie told the Council that Kmart requested a letter from her to ask the INL employees to not park in the parking lot through the summer. Leslie advised the Council that UCMC found another error with the new well and have adjusted the rate to be lower. EXECUTIVE SESSION: 1. Personnel Evaluations - Idaho Code 67-2345 (1-b) 2.
