DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1. 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. City
Administrator Micah Austin stated that Nathan has been in touch with them.
Council Member Jeff Fullmer- Voter turnout was very low, not sure what we can do to encourage
more voter turn out.

Council Member Kris Oswuld-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.
