PUBLIC COMMENT: None
ACTION ITEMS:
1. Kartchner Future Land Use Map Amendment - (Cindy Donovan, City Planner)
The property is located within the Urban Renewal District. Planning and Zoning did approve this change.
Staff recommends declining these changes. Mayor Powell discussed how he remembers sitting down
with Troy Kartchner about this piece of land and how he wanted it zoned for commercial use as he felt it
would be good planning for this area. Now there is a request going against that plan. City Planner
Donovan stated both Michael Henerdson and Dan Kartchner are both in the audience if there are any
questions. City Attorney Scott Hall stated all questions should go to City Planner Donovan since this is not
a public hearing.
Council Member Hamberlin asked if Cindy knows the reason behind wanting the change. City Planner
Donovan stated it is just because of the lack of interest in the Commercial lot. Council President Scott
Wessel spoke about there being a lack of interest due to the condition of 1st street, which will be
improved. He mentioned all the commercial development in that area. He also stated how commercial
development is the best on main roads. He also spoke about the future commercial that is going in the
area. Council President Wessel stated you don’t give up commercial land because you will not get it back,
it is not in the City’s best interest.
Council Member Oswald stated she feels we need more commercial areas not less. She feels that once
the road is done it will be a beautiful commercial area that will attract a lot of businesses. Council
Member Fullmer stated we can only go so far North and this is an important piece. Council Member
Oswald stated this is a major arterial and feels the City shouldn’t give it up. City Attorney Scott Hall asked
the Council if they feel they need to have another public hearing on this. All Council Members were in
agreement that no further public hearings were needed and that the previous public hearing was
notified substantially.
It was moved by Council President Wessel and seconded by Council Member Wheeler to deny the
Future Land Use Map Amendment due to it not being in compliance with the comprehensive plan
Wheeler, yes; Oswald, yes; Wessel, yes; Boyle, yes; Fullmer, yes; Hamberlin, yes. Motion passes
unanimously with vote by roll call.
2. Kartchner Rezone from C-1 and R3-A to R2-A - (Cindy Donovan, City Planner)

Ammon City Council February 19, 2026 Page 3 of 48
It was moved by Council President Wessel and seconded by Council Member Fullmer to deny the
Kartchner Rezone from C-1 and R3-A to R2-A as it doesn’t comply with the comprehensive plan
Wheeler, yes; Oswald, yes; Wessel, yes; Boyle, yes; Fullmer, yes; Hamberlin, yes. Motion passes
unanimously with vote by roll call.
3. Curlew Bend Development Agreement Amendment - (Cindy Donovan, City Planner)
There was discussion concerning the changes in the development contract that are being sought. This
was something that was brought before Council two years ago and then they never filed an application
to amend. City Planner Donovan stated they have already paid the park's contribution. The amendment
would require them to pay the law enforcement contribution. Council President Wessel stated if we keep
extending how many residential units they can keep building and we don’t require them to build the
commercial shell it may never get done.
Mayor Powell showed frustration that no one showed up to speak on behalf of the requested
amendment, he stated if the amendment was that important to their project the developer should be
there.
It was moved by Council Member Wessel and seconded by Council Member Hamberlin to deny the
Curlew Bend Development Agreement Amendment
Wheeler, yes; Oswald, yes; Wessel, yes; Boyle, yes; Fullmer, yes; Hamberlin, yes. Motion passes
unanimously with vote by roll call.
4. Consideration of Resolution 2026-003-Declare Surplus - (Micah Austin, City Administrator)
City Administrator Micah Austin gave a brief run down of the items listed for Surplus. The Council
decided to transfer the Sensus Tower Equipment (collector/rectifier) to the City of Kimberly without any
charge.
It was moved by Council Member Boyle and seconded by Council Member Oswald to approve the
Resolution 2026-003-Declaring Surplus
Wheeler, yes; Oswald, yes; Wessel, yes; Boyle, yes; Fullmer, yes; Hamberlin, yes. Motion passes
unanimously with vote by roll call.
5. Consideration of Vehicle Maintenance Service Contract with Wally’s Auto Repair- (Joanna
Dahm, City Clerk & Tony Black, Streets/Sanitation Division Director)
City Clerk Joanna Dahm read through the staff report concerning the RFP for Vehicle Maintenance
Services and explained to the Council that the City had only received two. Staff recommended awarding
the contract to Wally’s as they had met every expectation of the RFP and had scored the highest on the
scoring criteria.
It was moved by Council Member Oswald and seconded by Council Member Fullmer to approve the
Vehicle Maintenance Service Contract with Wally’s Auto Repair
Wheeler, yes; Oswald, yes; Wessel, yes; Boyle, yes; Fullmer, yes; Hamberlin, yes. Motion passes
unanimously with vote by roll call.

Ammon City Council February 19, 2026 Page 4 of 48
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1. Title 10 Chapter 29 Master Plan language amendment
City Planner Donovan stated that there are a couple things that they would like to change
because we have had issues arise. Changes are needed to 10-29-2, 10-29-6, 10-29-15 and
10-29-7. 10-29-2 would update the reference to the state code. 10-29-2 to concerning right of
way and lot line adjustments. These changes come due to people building fences into other
peoples property. There may have been agreements between previous home owners however
when there are new homeowners this causes issues. We would like to add it into the fee
resolution to offset staff time for research on these issues. Other changes are needed to
language
2. Miscellaneous
Council Member Fullmer-Stated he had a great State Capitol Day. We also met with the Boise
State Athletic Department which went well. They showed us their analytics and how they create
their models for players, it was very informative.
Council Member Boyle-Stated she is surprised by the disconnect between P&Z and Council. Will
our reasoning be passed back to P&Z on the Kartchner Rezone decision. City Planner Donovan
stated yes that will be conveyed to P&Z. She asked when the Council will begin discussing the
budget, City Administrator Micah Austin stated it will be May.
Council President Wessel - He stated since the Hitt Road Urban District is finished he has been
speaking with Tyler Draney about the declaring the Target Park. He asked City Administrator
Micah Austin how big that parcel is. City Administrator Austin stated it is 0.88 acres, that is
38,549 square feet, it was valued at $12 per square foot, it was valued by Dustin Barron the
County Assessor at $462,588.00. City Attorney Scott Hall stated that it depends on if it is
buildable. Council President Wessel stated he believes we should put a price of $100,000 on it.
He stated no one is going to take their child to that park on a busy road. He stated the money
should go into replacing equipment at another playground. City Planner Donovan stated before
anything is done she would like to make sure it is a buildable lot first. Council President Wessel
stated maybe Target would be interested in it. City Administrator Austin will bring it back before
Council to declare it surplus.
Council Member Oswald - Asked if there are any restrictions that can be put on Short Term
Rentals. Council Member Fullmer stated there is a bill at the state level that could be going
before legislators. Council Member Oswald also thanked the Street Department for working on
the pot hole filling.
Council Member Wheeler - Thank you to the Parks Department for putting on the Scavenger
Hunt again this year.
City Administrator Micah Austin - Contribution fees have not been updated for a couple years.
He has a meeting next week to look at those. Jennifer Belfield asked him to bring up Street
Ammon City Council Regular Meeting 02.05.2026 Page 4 of 5
Ammon City Council February 19, 2026 Page 5 of 48
Contribution fees which we currently don’t have. Is the Council interested in having one? These
would be part of the development contract. City Attorney Scott Hall stated the more
contribution fees you have the more you open up to litigation. So be cautious. City Administrator
Micah Austin stated that our contribution fees are different from impact fees. The Fire District
would like to surplus four vehicles, he asks the Council if there are any concerns with that.
Council President asks if we surplus it, do we get the money or the Fire District. City
Administrator Micah Austin stated that the City will get the money. The money goes into our Fire
Rescue account. That account is in case the Fire District ever went away we could have our own
Fire Department.
City Clerk Joanna Dahm - Anyone who wants to attend the AIC District Meeting please let me
know within the next two weeks so you can be registered. Secondly, Tuesday February 17th the
Mayor’s Scholarship Fund needs someone to help judge the applications for scholarships. Mayor
Powell can attend the morning session but needs someone to step in for the afternoon session.
The session runs from 12:30 to 4:30pm.
Mayor Powell - Asks the City Council if they would be open to other faiths coming in to give
prayer instead of it always being given by Council. The Council all think it's a great idea. In the
last week of February there is the National Read-a-thon. Is there any interest from Council to go
to schools in the area to read to the students or with them? All were in favor. Mayor Powell
asked if anyone on the Council would be interested in helping to coordinate City Hall for a Day
with the high schools? If anyone is interested let him know.

Dustin Barron with Bonneville County came before Council and staff to explain assessment of

properties. He stated there are roughly 67,000 properties they evaluate each year and every
property must be valued every five years. He stated that you can’t necessarily compare homes in
Ammon City Council Regular Meeting 02.12.2026 Page 1 of 2
Ammon City Council February 19, 2026 Page 7 of 48
different neighborhoods and subdivisions just because the have the same number of bedrooms
or bathrooms, there are a lot of factors that come into play when doing valuations.
2. Clearwater Financial-Cameron Arial and Justin Perry
Cameron Arial and Justin Perry had a slide presentation that they shared with the City Council
and staff defining CID’s, how they work, as well as Pros and Cons to both. They explained how
CID’s help to fund infrastructure without the City having to use their funds to put in
infrastructure upfront.
Miscellaneous-
Council Member Oswald - speaking on behalf of Council President Scott Wessel, he stated the
windows on Sage Park windows on two new windows on the East facing side are 4x4 but they
need to be 4x2. City Planner Donovan stated they have a new person managing construction so
it may have been missed. Also from Council President Wessel Zupas has customers parking in the
Bike Lane. She asked if putting up signs would help. Mayor Powell is asked if there is anything we
can do. City Planner Donovan stated it is stripped as a bike lane.
Council Member Fullmer - Asked if we have heard from the Curlew Bend Developers. City
Planner Donovan stated yes we had a meeting with them today. Mayor Powell stated it was a
good meeting. Mayor Powell stated their agreement will come before Council again next week.
City Attorney Scott Hall - Asked about the Church going in on the lot at the round-a-bout on John
Adams. He stated they are none taxable and that is a major piece of property, it is financially in
the wrong spot for it. Council Member Oswald asked if there is anything we can do about it. City
Administrator Micah Austin stated he doesn’t think we can do anything about this one, but going
forward we could change language so places of worship couldn’t go into commercial spaces.
Council Member Wheeler - Stated he hasn’t been able to attend a Fire District meeting due to
the time being now the second Thursday of the month at 6pm at the Fire Station. Mayor Powell
stated he believes it is important to attend at least every other month, feel free to just step out if
we are still in our meeting.
City Administrator Micah Austin - Informed the Council that Hillcrest is doing a play, As You Like
It, and Friday is the last night for a showing if you want to attend.

FY 2025 Budget Appropriations Amendment
Covers Oct. 1, 2024 – Sept. 30, 2025
Department Head
- Jennifer Belfield
Recommendation
- Recommend approving/accepting Ordinance 745 - Budget Appropriation Amendment to Fiscal
Year 2025.
Summary of Analysis
- Street Fund: The State of Idaho reconstructed the 17th Street Bridge. All invoices and payments
were processed through the State of Idaho. The City of Ammon accepted the bridge and we
added it as a fixed asset (we credited revenue GL # 60-370-710 - Donated Assets, and debited
expense GL # 60-460-700 - Capital Outlay – New). The low bid was $2,660,588, so that is the
vendor that did the project and the amount we used for the value of the bridge.
- Street Fund: The City of Ammon expanded the 1st Street Bridge in preparation for expanding 1st
Street from 25th E to 35th E.
- Building Fund: The Building Fund originally budgeted to replace one vehicle. One vehicle got in
an accident, so two vehicles were purchased.
- Pressurized Irrigation Fund: The Pressurized Irrigation Fund had unexpected repairs that had to
be taken care of during the irrigation season.
- Sanitation Fund: When budgeting for depreciation, we use the actual amount from the last
audit. In the Sanitation Fund, 2025 was the first year to depreciate the new Sanitation building,
so the amount budgeted for depreciation was too low.
- The Notice of Public Hearing published in the Post Register on February 4 and 13, 2026.

Letter of Request for Amending Development Agreement
Tri Kore Development
Curlew Bend Subdivision
1/28/26
Ammon City,
Tri Kore Development is requesting that we amend the existing
Development Agreement for the Curlew Bend Townhome Subdivision.
Previously, the City Council agreed to alter the conditions pertaining to the
10,000 sq ft commercial building to be constructed on the approximately 1
acre commercial lot on the southeast corner of Curlew Drive and John
Adams Parkway. The City Council had agreed to the terms stating that the
construction of the commercial building would commence prior to the 30th
certificate of occupancy being issued (of the 58 Curlew Bend townhomes)
and that the commercial building would be completed prior to the 50th
certificate of occupancy being issued.
These terms were mutually agreed upon by Tri Kore Development and the
City Council, however, the terms were never formalized in the
Development Agreement.
This request is simply to formalize these terms in the existing Development
Agreement.
Thanks for all of your help and consideration!
