ACTION ITEMS:
1. Consideration of Resolution 2025-009 ROW Acquisition- (Micah Austin, City Administrator)
Recommendation:
Adopt resolution 2025-009
Summary of Analysis:
1. Following the annexation property located at the northwest corner of Sunnyside and 45th
Street, it was discovered that there is a small strip of property in 45th Street that does not
have a clear chain of title. For this reason, the northwest corner of Sunnyside and 45th
Street could not be officially annexed in the City of Ammon.
2. Over the past two years, staff has worked with legal counsel to determine the best way to
acquire the strip of property located in the middle of 45th Street. After consideration of
several options, it was determined that the City of Ammon should seek quiet title to the
property.
3. Resolution 2025-009 begins the process of seeking quiet title of the property through
eminent domain. Adoption of the resolution is necessary for legal counsel to process with
the next steps in the quiet title process.
It was moved by Council Member Wessel and seconded by Council Member Oswald to approve
Resolution 2025-009 as presented.
Wessel, yes; Oswald, yes; Fullmer, yes; Slack, Absent; Boyle, yes; Hamberlin, yes. Motion passes
unanimously with vote by roll call.
2. Consideration of the Standard Development Agreement for Clarkside Industrial Park- (Cindy
Donovan, City Planner)

1. Fall Fee Resolution -
City Administrator Micah Austin read through all changes on fees and the reason behind the
changes. Boyle questioned the higher fees on baseball/t-ball and asked about the reason behind
the increase. It was stated to simply cover the rising costs.
2. Miscellaneous -
Sheriff's Deputy Albright brought up complaints about the motorized bikes, causing safety issues
on the roadways and asked about city codes concerning motorized bikes. City Administrator
Micah Austin stated the City of Ammon does not have code against.
Streets & Sanitation Director Tony Black stated he has received several calls about motorized
bikes. Most riders are not licensed drivers and he believes there is a law stating that drivers of a
motorized vehicle must be licensed.
Mayor Coletti asked about the danger of a motorized bike compared to a regular bike. Regular
bikes might go as fast as motorized bikes and cause as much of a hazard, but riders of bicycles
are not required to be licensed. In Woodland Hills, he has noticed golf carts and side -by -sides,
which seem more dangerous.
Council Member Wessel asked Streets & Sanitation Director Tony Black if all trash trucks get a
bay at the shop to park in. Black stated all trucks have a bay except one that is parked outside
during the summer months but is moved indoors in the winter.
Water & Wastewater Director Nathan Riblett provided an update on residential meter progress,
which went from 6 last week down to 2. A lot of commercial meters have been installed and
more are scheduled for next Tuesday.
City Clerk Joanna Dahm asked the Council if anyone is still using Council Share to access the
Agendas for the meetings. Council stated at this time they are not utilizing Council Share.
Donovan discussed the September 3rd P&Z meeting presentation on increasing maximum lot
coverage. The P&Z Commission asked for more data and comparisons to surrounding
jurisdictions. Jake Young is going to do more research to confirm. Donovan spoke with the
developer at Curlew Bend who said they are on track to pave Curlew Drive by the end of
September. Also informed the Council that Title 10 amendments will be discussed at the next
City Council Work Session.

(GIFT) at a future meeting. Also spoke on traffic issues on Western Ave, stated it feels like a

Council Member Wessel asked City Planner Cindy Donovan for clarification on Curlew Drive
paving. Donovan stated it will be done by the end of September. Council Member Wessel asked
if it will be chip sealed this fall. Donovan stated chipping sealing is not done until a year after
pavement.

undergoing treatment. There is a website for helping to support Tanner.
