Miscellaneous- Assistant City Planner Heather McBride-Community Outreach Coordinator (Heather Smith) for White Pines Academy reached out, they are restructuring their awards program for their community science and engineering fair. They are reaching out for sponsorship, with no cost to the city, we come up with the title and criteria for the award. We can have a focus on improvements to the city. Instead of a key to the city we should present a gear to the city. Mayor Sean Coletti asked if anyone was opposed. No opposition to the city sponsoring the award. It’s more of a community outreach effort. City Engineer Morgan Stewart-updated on first street, met with Kelly at Horox, still working through the environmental process. We submitted to LHTAC (Local Highway Technical Assistance Council) and LHTAC submitted to ITD. We are waiting on approval from SHPO. We are looking at the Spring for a bid date. The September deadline is for the city to sign the contract. Mayor Coletti states we need to put as much pressure on this as possible, the community gets frustrated when they don’t see results. Micah Austin stated he spoke with Chris Schaffer at SHPO. Update on the round-a-about intersection at Curlew and John Adams it is closing down next Tuesday to finish the center. City Attorney Scott Hall- There is an issue with EIRSD (Eastern Idaho Regional Sewer District) with grease pits not being cleaned out by a vendor who is charging that he is cleaning them, make sure that Water/Wastewater Division Director Nathan Riblett is following up on that.

Council Member Kris Oswald- Just wondering if at the next work session we can talk about street improvements before developers come in, Mayor Coletti and Council President Slack stated either the city has to pay for it upfront or we have to wait for the developer. Mayor Coletti stated a worksession would be a good place to walk through how the process works, that the developer pays and the studies that go into that, as well as a generic timeline. Council Member Oswald asks if we can see a map that identifies all the arterial roads, where they actually end, and the density. Changes need to be made to Ordinance 742, the language states 2nd and 4th Thursday for Council Meetings. This is an error. Mayor Coletti asks for a motion to amend the language.

Resolution 2025-014 authorizes the Mayor to execute a Legal Services Agreement with the law firms of Stag Liuzza, LLC and Hilty, Bower, Haws & Seable, PLLC. 2. The purpose of this agreement is to provide legal services for filing civil actions or claims in pending settlements regarding AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) Product Liability Multi-District Litigation. This litigation addresses damages to public drinking water systems caused by PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). 3. The City is committed to delivering clean drinking water and identifying parties responsible for increasing water treatment costs to avoid passing these costs on to consumers. 4. The agreement operates on a contingency fee basis. The attorneys’ fees are set at one-third (1/3) of the Gross Amount Recovered. If there is no recovery, the City pays no attorney fees. 5. Urgency is required due to court-ordered deadlines. Specifically, Phase Two systems wishing to be reimbursed for testing costs from the settlement fund must complete baseline PFAS testing and submit receipts by January 1, 2026. 6. By entering this agreement, the City authorizes the attorneys to negotiate, file suit, or file settlement claims necessary to represent the City's interests in the litigation. Financial Impact - There is no upfront cost to the City. The attorneys advance all litigation expenses. The City only reimburses costs and pays legal fees in the event of a successful recovery. If no recovery is made, the City is not liable for costs or expenses incurred by the attorneys.

Client agrees to provide the required documentation and assist in performing testing in a timely matter sufficient to allow Attorneys time to process and file the settlement claim within the court ordered deadlines. Any failure of Client to comply with the testing and documentation requirements of the settlement may result in forfeiture of the Client’s right to recover money from DuPont, 3M, and future settlements. Documentation requirements and deadlines may further apply to settlements currently pending court approval or approved in the future. The Client specifically authorizes the Attorneys to undertake negotiations, file suit, file settlement claims, or institute legal proceedings necessary on the Client’s behalf in the AFFF Product Liability Multi-District Litigation. The Client further authorizes the Attorneys to retain and employ the services of any experts, as well as the services of other outside contractors, as the Attorneys deem necessary or expedient in representing the interests of the Client. The Client understands and authorizes Attorneys to share attorney fees with any legal counsel that Attorneys choose to associate to assist with providing the legal services contracted herein. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Client and Attorneys, Attorneys will not provide legal services with respect to (a) defending any legal proceeding or claim against the Client commenced by any person unless such proceeding or claim is filed against the Client in the above-referenced legal proceeding (“Action”) or (b) proceedings before any federal or state administrative or governmental agency, department, or board including, but not limited to, the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Client acknowledges that the Attorneys are not tax, regulatory, or bankruptcy legal experts. If Client wishes to retain Attorneys to provide any legal services not provided under this Agreement for additional compensation, a separate written agreement between Attorneys and Client will be required. The Attorneys are not the attorneys for any officials, officers, agents, employees, attorneys, or consultants of the Client regarding this matter, and shall not become so unless the Attorneys specifically agree in the future in writing to undertake such representation. The Attorneys will confer, as needed, with such persons to perform the services specified in this Agreement, but no attorney-client relationship shall be created with such persons merely because the Attorneys work with and/or request or receive information from any such persons during their representation of the Client.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES. As compensation for legal services, the Client agrees to pay the Attorneys for legal services rendered and to be rendered on account of the Client’s Claims (hereinafter “Attorneys’ Fees”).

The Client agrees to pay all costs and expenses, as set forth in Section 2 herein, which, in the event of a successful recovery, shall be deducted from the Client’s share of that recovery. The Client acknowledges that multiple lawsuits have been filed relating to the same subject matter as Client’s Claims. The Client acknowledges that these suits, including any suit for the Client’s Claims, might be removed to a federal court as part of multi-district litigation. Further, the Client acknowledges that the court governing the multi-district litigation might appoint committees of attorneys to litigate common issues of law and fact to facilitate the resolution of those lawsuits for common benefit of all claimants, including the Client. As a result, the Client might be obliged to pay from any Gross Amount Recovered a share of its recovery to satisfy an assessment of common benefit fees, costs, and expenses in an amount as determined by the court. Neither the Attorneys nor the Client shall have the right, without the written consent of the other, to settle, compromise, release, discontinue, or otherwise dispose of the Client’s Claims. Client shall only pay attorney fees contingent upon a recovery and shall not pay any attorney fees if there is no recovery. 2. COSTS AND EXPENSES.

Attorneys shall advance all litigation expenses on behalf of Client, and Client shall not be responsible for incurring or reimbursing costs of the litigation even if the amount of recovery is less than the costs incurred. Client shall only reimburse litigation costs or expenses in the event of a recovery by settlement or judgment. If no recovery is made, Attorneys shall bear all unreimbursed costs and expenses incurred, and client shall not be liable for any such costs or expenses incurred by Attorneys. Further, if recovery is insufficient to fully reimburse litigation costs, Attorneys shall bear, and Client shall not be liable for, all costs in excess of the amount of recovery. Subject to the foregoing terms, the Client agrees to reimburse the Attorneys’ litigation costs and expenses upon receipt of any settlement funds or collected judgment.

These re-appointments will expire on December 31, 2028. 2. Jeff Caldwell’s term began in January, 2023. This re-appointment will be his second full term. Jeff has an excellent attendance record and has brought insightful perspectives to the Commission. 3. Ashley Jo Winters-Glenn’s term began in January, 2023. This re-appointment will be her second full term. Ashley Jo has an excellent attendance record and has supplied respectful input to the Commission. 4. Patrick Malone has served on the Commission since 2016 and has declined serving another term. He has been a valuable member of the Commission serving as Chairman and Vice Chairman. He will be greatly missed on the Commission. 5. Two thirds vote of the Council is required for both of these re-appointments. 6. The appointments listed above will not provide a full Planning and Zoning Commission with only eight members. 7. We are currently seeking another Commissioner from the Trailwood, Oak Ridge, Meadow Lark Estates, or Southwick subdivisions. These are areas that don’t currently have representation on either the Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council.
