State of the City Address:
State of the City 2019
Today, I want to consider what we have done in 2018, and then move on to what the future holds. My review of
2018 is not to live in the past, but instead simply to consider what we are able to do. I tell my 7-yr old frequently,
2018 began by the City adopting a new comprehensive plan. This is a big thing. It tells us where we are, and where
we are going. This year, we will build on the comprehensive plan with an updated strategic plan that we will review
and implement on a regular basis.
Wehad the most active building permit year ever in the City of Ammon with 1687 total permits, including 215 new
homes in 2018.
We concluded the year with strengtha direction from the Council to publish metered water rates. This is an
extremely important accomplishment that came after over 40 years of discussion regarding metering, years of study
and analysis, a citizen review committee and many public meetings. Not only that, but we have a meter installation
plan for the next 6 years that will keep us on
tank and booster station at the south end of Ammon which will be critical to infrastructure stability and growth. I
to a self-sustaining, conserving water
system for decades to come.
Consider thisby the end of 2018, almost 900 locations in the City of Ammon have fiber access. Of these, more
than 400 are residential and are hooked up to our service with another 100 expected to be on our service by the end
of January 2019. This is incredible! And with ingenuity and resolve, our fiber team has determined to increase their

landscaping. We will continue park improvements this upcoming year at Woodland Hills, and will get our parks
ted a beautiful walking path at Quail Ridge Park and will see more efforts at walking
paths in the next year.
Consider our arts, culture and service. I am confident that our new group Ammon Arts will contribute greatly to arts
planning in our community. Invest in Ammon will continue to evolve to become a means for Ammon residents and
businesses to contribute to community amenities. The new Service Awards will continue to give us the opportunity

hold in store? Our next big project must be streets. We need to take street funding seriously. I want us to work
toward a long-term funding plan. 2019 is the year of road and bridge. I think there are short term improvements we
can make, such as creating some turn lanes on major arterials with a little asphalt and new striping. The long term
improvements are consideration of a 2-year streetlevy and completion of our URA, and design and submission of

train going. I am excited to proactively follow a new strategic plan that is created based on our goals and our
comprehensive plan.
I am also giving the council members new department liaison assignments. Some will change and others will
remain the same. But I invite you to consider a few things with these new assignments. Of course, your role with
department heads is not to run the department
ideas. Develop a healthy relationship with the department head youare working with, and discuss not only budgets
but other aspects of the department. What ideas do you have to help improve what we are doing? Draw upon your
life experience to offer ideas where appropriate.
Last night as I thought of what to say today
sure Ammon is always on the cusp of great changes. This is where the ideas of tomorrow begin. This is where
people want to spend their tomorrows, whether it is living here, in business, or otherwise. I think our overall

Notice on Creation of Fiber Optic Local Improvement District (LID) No. 3. No written comment was received.
Bruce Brooks, 4320 Mirinda Lane statedthat he is all for the Fiber District, but has a few questions. He
asked if there is only one opportunity to sign up for a monthly rate for the 20 years. When that happens, does that
mean that the debt is attached to the propertyand is considered a lien on theproperty?Mayor Coletti said yes, but it
is an annual fee. Brooks asked if the equipment that is attached to the property is it going to be hardwired or
wireless. Patterson explained that to a large extent at this time we are, so there are three coststhat are involved with
having a City fiber connection; the first is the cost to install, which is the LID which performs the construction, then
there is an amount due which you have the option of paying that in full at any time, or if you want to notpayin full
then there is a lien recorded for the amountof$3,300which isonly paying exactly the cost of doing the project, and
then once you sign up at the City at a charge of $16.50 per month.Brooks askedif the cost of the LID depending on
how manypeople sign up for the LID. Patterson stated yes, and he believes there will be a 65 percent take rate in
Fiber LID No. 3.
Patterson gave a summary of where LID No. 3 is located, and how the process works.
Jon Skagen, 4351 Mirinda stated that he is excited to obtain it.
James Cerkovnik, 3029 S.Chartwell Garden said he is in Hawks Landing and thanked the Councilfor their
hard work. He feels that this is a really cool and unique project. Looking at his own personalinternet usage,it makes
sense to build the capacity to where we are going. He believes that

th

Scott Worley, 1200 N Robins Ave. stated that he worksfrom home and relieson a reliable provider with
high speeds. He will be a Fiber Championas long as there are some training and additional tools that a champion
would be provided.
Patterson explainedthat there would be a meeting to teach how aLID works,videos online to share with
neighbors, andpaperwork onlinefor those that would like to opt in to the LID. Patterson also explained that as a
Fiber Champion, you will assist in answering their questions. He is intending to collect all of the fiber champions
and schedule a meeting.
Jessie Taylor, 4087Birchwood Circle stated that he works remotely and he has only been in the City since
August and Fiber was one of his main considerations in moving to the City of Ammon, and it is also a job
requirement.He is all for it.
Wayne Maness, 4113 Birchwood Circle stated that he is very much for Fiber. He knows several individuals
that work from home that require good internet, and really likes the idea of having competition.If we are estimating
$3,000 over 20 years its about $25 per month;he already pays $90 per month for internet, and will save over half of
that with being on Ammon Fiber Optic. Maness asked about the time frame for how fast fiber will be at his home.
Patterson explained theconstruction cycle, and said hewould project completion the beginning of 2020. Maness
asked what the options are for financing. Mayor Coletti stated that right now we are using an organization called
Neighborly and are also looking into other options. Councilmember Wiscombe stated that we are also looking into
bonds, and explained that process. Maness said the City has his full support.Wahoo!
Josh Rydalch, 3725 Wanda Street said most of his questions have been answered. He is in support of it, but
asked if there are any hidden issues. Councilmember
property is a rentalor is vacant,but most people that are living in the home have chosento do it.
Ben Shay, 1602 Indian Hollow Drive said he is in favor. Asked if there was any advantage to paying it off
up front instead of over time. Patterson stated that advantage to paying up front is the increaseto thevalue to the
home is $4,500 to 5,000.
Michelle Shay, 1602 Indian Hollow said she is in favor.
Clay Walker, 3298Chartwell Garden said he is in favor.
Steve Earl, 1260 Red Robins Avenue said he is semi-retired and moved into Bridgewater and he is very
glad. He wanted to commend the City Council and Patterson for all the work they have done. He is in favor.
ErickCutts, 3620Wanda Street asked if the City hasa 65 percent take rateand Fiber Champions are able to
get more people in the neighborhood, does that get spread out to the other Mayor Coletti
stated that once the LID closes, there is no opportunity to get into the LID, and connecting would mean paying for it
up front.
Mayor Coletti closed the public hearing, and opened up for Council discussion.Tibbitts made a statement
that the City is very lucky to have Patterson.
ACTION ITEMS:
1.Creation of Fiber Optic LID No. 3:No action necessary for this itemuntil an ordinance is drafted and
th
brought to the Council on January 17.
2.Eagle Park Final Plat:Donovanexplained that the request is being presented by Harper Leavitt
Engineering. The property is located east of Eagle Drive, South of Derrald, north of Sunnyside Road, and west of
Farm Division 2 Fourth Amended
Plat. The property is currently zoned HC-1, with a total acreage of 9.648 acres. The request is that the property will
be divided into eight (8) lots, with a design to include medical offices and small retail spaces. The HC-1 zone allows
liquor by the drink to be sold. State Statute 23-913 requires that any establishment selling liquor by the drink be at
least 300 feetfrom a predominantly residential area, school or church. These establishments would only be able to
be placed along the west side of the property, due to the proximity to Hillcrest High School. The Final Plat was
approved unanimously by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
CouncilmemberPowellmoved to approve the Final Plat for Eagle Park, finding it is in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan, meets with City Ordinances and will serve the future needs of the community. Subject to

review. CouncilmemberSlackseconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Powell Yes,Councilmember Slack
Yes, Councilmember Wessel Yes, Councilmember Thompson Yes, Councilmember Wiscombe Yes, and
Councilmember Tibbitts Yes. The motion passed.
4.Resolution 2019-001R Urban Renewal Agency Eligibility Report:Micah reported that the
Urban Renewal Law of 1965 (Chapter 20, Title 50 of Idaho Statute) and the Local Economic Development Act
(Chapter 29, Title 50 of Idaho Statute) established the authority for local jurisdictions to create Urban Renewal
Agencies. On January 6, 1994,the Ammon City Council adopted Resolution 94-1, thereby creating the Ammon
th
deteriorated area. On April 12, 1994, the URA for the City of Ammon adopted Resolution 94-4 proposing the Hitt
Road Urban Renewal Plan, which incorporates a revenue allocation area. On May 10, 2018, The Mayor and Council
met in a workshop session and directed the City Administrator to conduct an Eligibility Report of an area within
Ammon to evaluate whether the area met the criteria for creating an urban renewal district. In early November 2018,
and the conditions that exist within the study areas as noted above, the Ammon Urban Renewal Agency and Ammon
December 6, 2018, The Ammon Urban Renewal Agencyadopted Resolution 2019-01 accepting the Report and
authorizing the Chairman to transmit the Report to the City Council to direct the Agency to prepare an urban
st
renewal plan for the 1Street District. By adopting Resolution 2019-001R, the Mayor and CityCouncil of the City
of Ammon will be directing the Ammon Urban Renewal Agency and its staff to prepare an urban renewal plan for
st
the 1Street District, finding that the area designate meets the statutory criteria for considering of an urban renewal
district.
Financial Impact: The City Administrator has prepared all required documents up to this point, including
st
the Eligibility Report, for the proposed 1Street District. This has significantly reduced costs for establishing the
URA district. The City Administrator will continue to lead this effort, at the direction of the Mayor, City Council,
and the Ammon Urban Renewal Agency. Additional funds will be necessary for preparation of the Plan and some
required components of the plan. For example, a legal description of the proposed district must be prepared by a
licensed surveyor and there will be some legal costs in review of the final documents. The surveyor fees will be paid
by the City of Ammon and the legal fees will be paid by the Ammon Urban Renewal Agency. The best of their
ability, the City Administrator and other members of staff will complete all components of the plan without utilizing
outside consultants. Staff is recommending approval.Council discussion ensued.

Discussion and Approval of Ordinance 619, thereby creating a Traffic Commission
for the City of Ammon
Staff Presenting:
Micah Austin, City Administrator
Recommendation
- Staff recommends approval of Ordinance 619 as proposed.
Summary of Analysis
- In spring and early summer of 2018, the City Council discussed the creation of a Traffic
Commission that would handle all questions and requests related to traffic regulations, policies,
and planning within the City of Ammon.
- Ordinance XXX would create the Ammon Traffic Commission, empowering the commission with
the duties described in the ordinance.

surplus.
Summary of Analysis
- The contract with Eagle Rock Sanitation is complete and ready for the City Council to approve.
- As a condition of the contract, Eagle Rock has agreed to purchase certain city assets that are
currently used by the Commercial Sanitation Division. These assets are public and must be
designated as surplus for the City of Ammon to sell them to any private party.
- Designating the following city assets as surplus will allow the city to sell the property to Eagle
Rock Sanitation as anticipated by the commercial sanitation contract.
TABLE 1: City Property/Assets for Surplus
City Property/Assets Surplus Value
Twenty-Eight (28) four-yard front load dumpsters $621.00

Mayor Coletti and City Councilmembers:
Discussion and Approval of a Commercial Solid Waste Collection Services
Agreement with Eagle Rock Sanitation, Inc.
Staff Presenting:
Micah Austin, City Administrator
Recommendation
- Staff recommends approving the contract as presented.
Summary of Analysis
- On October 16, 2018, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for commercial solid waste
services
- In response to this RFP, the City received three proposals from private solid waste hauling
companies. The three companies that responded were PSI Environmental Services, Eagle Rock
Sanitation Inc., and Zero Waste Solutions, Inc.
- Of the three companies, interviews were conducted with PSI Environmental Services and Eagle
Rock Sanitation. Based on their responses to the RFP and their interview, a review of city staff
members evaluated the two companies.
- Eagle Rock Sanitation obtained the highest scores in both their proposal and in their interview.
Based on this, staff initiated negotiations with Eagle Rock Sanitation on a Commercial Solid
Waste Collection Services Agreement.
- The attached Commercial Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement has been reviewed and
approved by City Attorney, Scott Hall, and by Eagle Rock Sanitation Inc., represented by Kim
Galloway.
- Eagle Rock Sanitation is comfortable with the contract and is eager to take over the commercial
services.
- Highlights from the Contract:
o The contract will take effect on March 1, 2019.
o Prior to March 1, Ray Ellis, Public Works Director, will work closely with Eagle Rock
Sanitation to ensure a smooth transition for our commercial customers, for the City, and
for Eagle Rock.
o On average, City of Ammon commercial customers will save 20% with Eagle Rock
Sanitation.
o Eagle Rock will pay the City of Ammon $356,250 for surplus assets currently utilized by
the commercial sanitation division.
o Eagle Rock will pay the City of Ammon an enterprise utility fee equal to 8% of annual
gross billed revenues or $20,000, whichever is more.
23 of 67
o Over the next three weeks, Eagle Rock will be meeting with all commercial customers to
answer any questions they may have and to fully understand their sanitation needs.
Financial Impact
- Eagle Rock will pay the City of Ammon $356,250 for surplus assets currently utilized by the
commercial sanitation division. In addition, Eagle Rock will also pay the City of Ammon an
enterprise utility fee equal to 8% of annual gross billed revenues or $20,000, whichever is more.
Assuming Eagle Rock will pay at least $20,000 annually, the ten-year financial revenue
anticipated from this contract is $556,250.
Motion
approve the Commercial Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement with Eagle Rock Sanitation,
Inc. and direct staff to proceed with all preparations necessary for the transition.

the other revised fees and fee policies.
- All department heads and hired consultants relevant to this issue recommend approval of the
water rates as presented.
Summary of Analysis
- Resolution 2019-004R would new fees and amend the following fees by the amount listed in
Table 1 below:

Section 7-G Refunds (General) $10.00 New Fee
Section 2-A Lighting District $1,100 New Fee
- The amendments to Sections 5-C and 5-F address water service fees and a more detailed
summary of the analysis of the recommendation for these fees follows in the section below.
- Section 7-G amendments address administrative costs required for returned checks, late
payments, and refunds.
- Section 2-A sets a flat fee for setting up a lighting district. In the past, the City of Ammon has
not charged for establishing lighting districts. The fee recommended is anticipated to cover staff
costs related to establishing a lighting district.
Proposed Monthly Water Rates
- Metered Water Rates for all residential metered customers
o Base Rate: $30.00
Includes $19.00 for the Water Bond
o Usage Rate: $1.00 per 1,000 gallons of usage
- Unmetered Water Rates for all residential unmetered customers
o Small Lots (Less than 10,000 square feet): $50.00 level pay until meter is installed
Includes $19.00 for the water bond
Based on the average usage in small lots over the prior 12-month period
o Large Lots (10,000 square feet and larger): $70.00 level pay until meter is installed
Includes $19.00 for the water bond
Based on the average usage in large lots over the prior 12-month period
Reasons for Proposed Metered Water Rate
1.Provide for Long-term Stability of Water System. The current rates do not sustain the system on a
long-term basis and place the water system at risk. The proposed rates will provide long-term
sustainability of the water system.
2.Recommended by Water Facilities Planning Study. The City of Ammon hired a civil engineering
firm, Keller Associates, to complete a Water Facilities Planning Study that identifies the ordinary and
necessary changes required for the long-term sustainability of the water system. The study provided
a list of measures (see attachment) that bring the water system into compliance with state code,
improve emergency response resiliency, replace aging infrastructure, and address other essential
water system needs. The proposed rates will provide necessary funding for the operations,
maintenance, depreciation, replacement of system components, and necessary improvements that
are required by the Water Facilities Planning Study.
3.Engineering Basis for Proposed Rates. Keller Associates, in compliance with the Water Facilities
Planning Study, has confirmed that the proposed rates meet the requirements of the engineering
(see attached memo)
and to comply with state and federal water quality requirements.
34 of 67
4.Equitable Rate Structure. A usage-based rate is a more equitable way of charging for potable water
5.Public Outreach and Research. The proposed water rate is the result of years of review and
hundreds of hours of research, engineering, financial modeling, public outreach, and discussions on
the part of city officials and professionals in the field. In addition, a citizen-based committee
reviewed and analyzed the engineering study, conclusions, and water usage and recommended the
City transition to a metered rate system.
6.Groundwater Rights and System Capacity. Water rights and system capacity are strained during
the summer irrigation months. Charging customers based on actual usage encourages water
conservation. Water rights are becoming much more difficult to obtain than in the past and
conservation is an important part of helping to stretch water rights and system capacity.
7.Proprietary Fund. Water fees collected are maintained in a separate fund for operation,
maintenance, and the ordinary and necessary expenses of the water system. These funds must be
used for the water system.
8.Meter Installation Plan. On December 20, 2018, the Ammon City Council adopted a meter
installation plan to finish installation of water meters in all remaining unmetered locations within
the next six years.
Financial Impact
- The proposed water rates are adequate to maintain the operational needs of the Ammon City
Water System.
Motion
approve Resolution 2019-004R, thereby approving the new fees and fees increased by 5% or
Section 3: Attachments (Resources for Proposed Water Rates)
1. Resolution 2019-004R
2. Published notice for fee amendments in the Post Register.
3. Memorandum from Keller Associates providing an engineering basis for proposed water rates.

Works Director, and it must be determined that adequate capacity is available for the weekly service of a
business using a residential container. In the event a residential container will not provide adequate
service, the Public Works director may remove the residential container and replace it with a dumpster or
up to four (4) additional residential containers. If it is determined a dumpster will be placed in lieu of
residential containers, the commercial rate for dumpsters will then apply.

responsible party.
3. EXCLUSIONS When The City is unable to accommodate the sanitation services required for a commercial
facility and/or when a business chooses to install a commercial compactor no fee will apply. Businesses
that have chosen to opt out of the sanitation services prior to the adoption of this resolution, which
would not be allowed an opt out option based on this or future resolutions shall be grandfathered and
shall be billed at the minimum rate for a five (5) yard dumpster at one (1) pickup per week.

2.0ADEQUACY OF RATE TO MEET CURRENT SYSTEM NEEDS
The first question addresses whether the new user rate affects ability to meet its
expenses of operation, maintenance, replacement, depreciation, rehabilitation, payment of bonds
and interest, and operational needs.The Ammon
maintenance needs were coordinated between Econics and City of Ammon staff and it is
assumed thatthese needs are met through the budgets in the WaterWorth model.The budgets in
the WaterWorth model were based on input provided by City staff in regards to service life and
replacement of existing infrastructure. They also considers additional infrastructure projects
identified in the Water Facilities Planning Study (WFPS) to bring the City more into compliance
with the Idaho Drinking Water Rules and toaddress other water system needs.
While a detailed rate study was beyond the scope requested for the WFPS, Keller Associates did
include a high-level look at rate impacts in Chapter 9 of the study. To evaluate whether the
proposed rate can meet the needs identified in the WFPS, we compared the rate and funding
effects of the WaterWorth model to the rate evaluation performed in the WFPS (updated to
provide a more accurate comparison):
WFPS RateProposed Rate
Total Funds Generated in Base Year:$3.40 Million$3.37 Million
Average User Increase:$16.77 per month$16.18 per month
Highest Priority System Needs Met By:20252021
2037 Projected System Needs Met By:20382032
The table above shows that the funding effects of the WFPS rate and the WaterWorth rate are
very similar. The proposed rate completes needed system infrastructure projects faster than the
WFPS rate as a result of utilizing available reserve funds. This comparison provides additional
context for the work with Econics to develop a usage-based rate structure. This
analysis does not dive into the more detailed cash balance strategy used by WaterWorth, which
includes the effects of conservation, reserve funds, fund sources, and operations and
maintenance costs. It simply assumes that the money budgeted for these categories in the model
is available for use and calculates how quickly projects can be completed.
The closeness of the Total Funds Generated and the Average User Increase of the two rate
scenarios compared suggests that the net effect of the WaterWorth plan is similar to that
contemplated by the study and that completion of projects to address system needs is likely to
happen within the planning horizon (year 2037) used for the WFPS.
This analysis assumes that the budgets in the WaterWorth model are used solely for completing
infrastructure projects identified in the WFPS. In reality, the system may have other replacement
needs that occur during this time frame. Any use of these funds for purposes not currently
identified in the WFPS would have the effect of delaying project completion from what is shown in
the table above.

3.0RATES FOR UNMETERED CUSTOMERS
While the City is working towards having every residential customer on a meter, completing this
process will take several years. A non-metered rate will need to be implemented for those
customers without a meter until one is installed. The City has approached this need by
considering what the proposed usage-based rate would be if applied to the average usage of the
metered customers in the two existing billing categories: Small Lot (less than 10,000 SF) and
Large Lot (10,000 SF or greater).Based on the average monthly usage in these two user
categories of 20,000 gallons/month and 38,000 gallons/month, respectively (based on historical
City meter data), the City has proposed a new levelized rate of $50/month for Small Lots and
$70/month for Large Lots.
While these rates are based on broad user categories, usage in these categories is easily
obtainable and the categories depend on lot size, which directly correlates with water usage. If
these users were to be left unmetered for a longer period of time, Keller Associates would
recommend taking a more user specific approach. As these rates will only be used over the next
several years, we feel that this is a valid approach for this situation.
The Water Facilities Planning Study (WFPS) proposed an average (system-wide) user rate
increase of $16.77/account/month. As was noted previously, this number is very close to the
increase associated with the proposed usage-based rate. The proposed non-metered rate for
Small Lots and Large Lots results in an increase to non-metered customers of $11.75/month and
$24.25/month, respectively. Since the increase proposed in the WFPS falls between these two
rates, the proposed non-metered rates are justified in the larger financial picture.
4.0UNDER AND OVER CHARGING CUSTOMERS
The last two questions posed by the City ask whether the proposed rate is at risk of over- or
under-charging drinking water customers. The City does not want to increase rates frequently, but
also wishes to avoid excess funds.funding
sources using the WaterWorth model, the City can have greater confidence in rate stability over
the planning horizon used.
Based on the observations noted above, it appears that the net increase in funds is in line with
the funding needed to complete the projects identified in the Water Facilities Planning Study
(WFPS).The City also has the tools now to determine whether lowering a rate would be
appropriate in the future when debt service is retired or if infrastructure needs have been met for
the near future.
We recommend that the WFPS be updated every five years in order to identify changing system
needs. It is possible that additional projects will be identified at that time to maintain compliance
with the Drinking Water Rules-evaluated and adjusted
periodically.
The first few years of implementing a usage-based rate in particular may change user behavior in
unexpected ways. While the demands used in the WaterWorth model have been adjusted to
account for 20 percent less usage due to conservation, only time will tell what the long-term
conservation impacts of the new rate will be.
may also look very different by the end of the planning horizon. Just as it is recommended that
65 of 67
the WFPS be updated regularly, so should the WaterWorth model be updated regularly in order
to see if desired funding keeps pace with expenditures.
5.0ORDINARY AND NECESSARY NATURE OF SYSTEM OPERATION
Regarding the the rate increase, every project recommended by the study
addressesanexisting system need.We consider these improvements to be ordinary and
necessary expenditures. The City is considered to be doing only what is necessary to continue
providing essential existing services to its customers. The infrastructure projects found in the
WFPS all address system needs.
Creating a dedicated Infrastructure Renewal budget puts a funding mechanism in place to allow
the City to address its own infrastructure needs and makes the City more capable of responding
quickly to problems impacting its customers. By moving to a usage-based rate, the City of
Ammon is promoting a sustainable and equitably-funded water system.
6.0RECOMMENDATIONS
While Keller Associates involvement during the WaterWorth rate development was relatively
limited, we feel that the premise behind the proposed rates is sound. If model assumptions and
inputs have been thoroughly vetted, then the resulting funds will be sufficient to fund necessary
system infrastructure projects. proposed funding.
While the WaterWorth infrastructure project budgets are justified as necessary expenditures, they
should be revisited regularly to ensure that budgets meet forecasted needs.
Keller Associates recommends that the City of Ammon adopt a usage-based rate structure. It is
our opinion that basing user rates on actual consumption is the most equitable means of charging
customers for the water provided to them by the City. Regardless of the type of rate used, water
rates need to be increased from where they currently stand in order to fund current system needs
identified in the Water Facilities Planning Study and Keller Associates does not recommend
leaving rates as presently constituted. We recommend adopting themetered and non-metered
rates as proposed as a means of not only basing user charges on consumption, but also to set in
place an adequate funding mechanism that will allow the City to maintain drinking water services
that are safe and reliable.
