The quarterly reports will be posted in the Post Register. Councilmember Slack talked about bills that are under a certain amount could be authorized to be paid beforehand. City Treasurer Jennifer talked about a $50 cap. It was discussed the monthly Utah Power bill is under $50. City Attorney Scott Hall explained how it could be allowed with staff direction not to exceed a certain amount. Council decided to continue the monthly review tonight, and then discuss changes in a work session. Councilmember Powell motioned as Lighting District #1 to approve the Account Payable.

City Council Minutes 5-5-11 Page 2 of 8 ITEMS FOR/FROM TREASURER: City Treasurer Jennifer Belfield talked about the strategic plan for the next fiscal year budget and asked Council to get with their department heads to go through the budget before next week. PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ITEMS NOT ON AGENDA: (5 Minute Limitation) Brad Christensen, 3600 S. Founders Pointe, Ammon, Tony Gomez and Rob Felts – Hawks Landing, and Adam Serr – Quailridge presented their case on water charges for sprinklers. He talked about how much it will cost to maintain current areas, as well as, expansions. With the current billing figure, they have figured it will cost approximately $8,800 for the 2 acres they currently have developed. However when they develop additional properties, it makes it almost impossible. They would like to develop another 5 acres and estimate it will cost approx. $20,000 each year. Councilmember Kirkham stated they are aware of this and have been discussing ideas. She stated they have a proposal that might work to amend the ordinance and asked they come to the next work session. Brad said they have discussed asking the City for fixed costs on utilities or deeding the property to the City and sharing in the maintenance responsibilities with the City. He also talked about reducing the per gallon water cost, so they can plan development for the future. PUBLIC HEARINGS: None ACTION ITEMS: 1. Annexation with Initial C-1 Zoning - 4060 E Sunnyside (Ron)*: City Planner Ron Folsom explained where the property is located. He stated this is consistent with the comprehensive plan and Planning & Zoning recommended approval of the annexation. He stated Mr. Burnell is here to address specifics of the development agreement. It was asked if Planning and Zoning had any recommendations other than approval. Ron said no. He talked about how the front footage fees of $34,000 have been calculated for this development. Mr. Burnell is concerned and asked about financing. Ron has discussed this with Councilmember Bean who suggested that Mr. Burnell bring a proposal. Chadwick Burnell, 4423 E. 168 N. North Rigby, ID said the lot ended up on a corner with two frontages. The building is potentially an office for his wife with his construction company. He has a shop on East River Road where he keeps his trucks, etc. The Sunnyside property is only an acre, so he will not have his equipment there. He would like to split the property into two lots of approx. ½ acre each and to pay the front footage fees in two sections. He talked about paying half at closing on the building and the other half when the other half of property is sold. Ron said the asphalt, curb & gutter, etc. would be escrowed. The amount on Ard Drive comes to $11,520 for the water line, storm drain and sewer with the Sunnyside amount at $21,850. Ron’s figures are different than Mr. Burnell’s, because we normally charge frontage fees after the property is platted. When he took out the dedication amount out Mr. Burnell showed 180 feet while Ron showed 230 feet. Councilmember Thompson asked if 25 feet is enough for the road easement. Ron said he has to verify that, but he believes so. Sunnyside is off the section line. Mr. Burnell said whatever the City needs he is willing to work with the City. He thinks he will be tearing down the house, which is in bad shape. Ron said there will be an elimination of one driveway accessing Sunnyside with this annexation. Ron asked the Council if they were interested in annexation. Council stated they are. Councilmember Thompson stated their concern is that they have enough easement. Mr. Burnell said it will be a small office of approx. 1500 sq ft. Councilmember Thompson asked who owns the ditch and advised the ditch will need to be covered. Chadwick will meet with Ron, Lance, and Councilmember Bean to hammer out the details. Councilmember Powell motioned to table Action Item 1, until Councilmember Thompson, Councilmember Bean, Lance and Ron sit down with Mr. Burnell to work out the details for annexation. Councilmember Kirkham seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Powell – Yes, Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, and Councilmember Slack – Yes. The motion passed. City Attorney Scott Hall asked about the railroad property to the west of Ard Lane. Lance said the railroad is not interested in removing the tracks in the short term. Councilmember Thompson said it ends south of Sunnyside anyway. Scott would rather we give some concession to Walker regarding their trucks and remove 2 miles of railroad track, including the maintenance. City Council Minutes 5-5-11 Page 3 of 8 2. Ord 501 – 4060 E. Sunnyside (Ron)*: Councilmember Kirkham motioned to table Ordinance 501 – 4060 E. Sunnyside – Action Item 2. Councilmember Powell seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Powell – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, and Councilmember Slack – Yes. The motion passed. 3. Proposed Amendments to Title 10, R1A, R2, R2A, R3, R3A (Ron)*: City Planner Ron Folsom said that Planning & Zoning (P&Z) recessed this meeting. This is the one concerning the patio homes. Councilmember Thompson requested an update. Ron said Rockwell wants to make a better presentation, so people can see what they are really talking about. He talked about the complications. Rockwell will be putting together a meeting with the homeowner’s associations. Councilmember Thompson said the idea is to take an R1-A property with 2 units that are joined together and separate them. Ron said the total area taken up by side yards will increase. It was discussed they have plans to build on this type of lot. Scott said you are starting to see a lot of patio homes in other areas. Ron said the lots will be exactly the same as the town homes. Councilmember Thompson asked what the advantage is. Ron said they sell better. Townhomes are going for $115,000 for a 3 bedroom, 2 baths with no basement. Councilmember Kirkham motioned to table the Proposed Amendments to Title 10, R1-A, R-2, R2-A, R-3, R3-A. Councilmember Powell seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Kirkham – Yes, Councilmember Powell – Yes, Councilmember Coletti – Yes, Councilmember Slack – Yes, and Councilmember Thompson – Yes. The motion passed. DISCUSSION ITEMS: 1. Decision Points on IBSD Separator Line (Lance): Bruce Brooks, 4320 Miranda, stated neither the City nor the Board is talking with the property owners concerning the IBSD separator line and just found out about it, since elections are coming up. Councilmember Kirkham asked if he is in the District. He stated he is. He understands there are going to be work meetings for a remedy with IBSD and the City of Ammon. He stated the property owners have a vested interest in this and he does not want to be dictated to. He wondered if there is a way for homeowners to be involved in the work meetings. Councilmember Kirkham stated they have not heard about any work meetings. She stated he is within the IBSD, and the City cannot dictate anything to him. She stated work sessions are open to the public and are posted to inform the public as to the dates. Councilmember Kirkham stated they are waiting for information from IBSD. Mr. Brooks inquired about the pump station. Lance said IBSD has done upgrades to the pumping station and IBSD has been paying for the maintenance. Council asked who owns it. Lance said he hasn’t been able to get an answer on this. Council said the focus is getting the lines built and there will be a time when this needs to be addressed. Bruce Brooks said IBSD says Ammon owns the pumping station and some members say Ammon would be happy to have the people in his area. Councilmember Kirkham asked if his concern is that Ammon’s rates will be higher. Councilmember Kirkham said IBSD has a better deal than Ammon, but with the separation they won’t be able to continue servicing his neighborhood and will have to figure it out. Council suggested to Mr. Brooks to go to their meetings. Scott said that is the property right issue that IBSD hasn’t wanted to be addressed. Council stated they would keep him informed when they hear from IBSD. Bruce Brooks gave his email address, cell phone and home phone numbers. Councilmember Thompson said he feels that the agreement is that if they cannot come to a solution, then the City of Ammon has agreed to take his neighborhood, but it will be at the City’s rate. Scott said his point is if we agree to take them and the rate is higher their cause of damage is against IBSD or if Ammon refused to take them then IBSD has to find a way to service them. IBSD can’t de-annex them and then say it is the City’s problem. Scott said they would want damages for 15 years. Lance said he attended the IBSD meeting yesterday. The plans for the separator line have been prepared and he gave a copy to Idaho Falls. Ammon has agreed to build the separator line to Idaho Falls specifications. Idaho Falls has come back with several comments that are not part of their own standards and are not in their own specifications. They are saying they won’t approve the plans the way it is. What they do want is different than their own specifications. The structure that is in Sunnyside and Eagle is one structure for two different entities’ use. Idaho Falls has written back that they want two separated manholes installed - a shared manhole will not be approved. This is not a standard or specification that they have. Lance said the amount of money, time and constructability costs will be well over City Council Minutes 5-5-11 Page 4 of 8 $50,000 more, which is the major concern. Lance said it was going to be two different entrances in one structure. He stated Forsgren has looked at a way to hopefully get Idaho Falls to buy off on a separation, which would be separated by a sheet of plastic. He will meet with Idaho Falls to see if this will comply with a separate delineation for them. Idaho Falls wanted two manholes ten feet apart. Councilmember Powell asked how big the manholes are. Lance said 16 feet long x 8 feet wide. Councilmember Powell said this sounds big. Lance said there is a 30” pipe coming in, going out, etc. Lance said there will be 1 million gallons a day in the line. Lance wants to know if they won’t approve it and it is not against their standards, what we want to do. The old one will still stay there. Lance th talked about two gates at Ammon and 17. He stated there should not be any maintenance after it is constructed. Lance talked about pulling the gates and only one is really feasibly possible. Councilmember Kirkham asked about an estimated price tag. Lance stated around $3.3 million for the entire project, construction and engineering and oversight. This was about 8-9 months ago. Scott talked about the agreement with IBSD and read a portion of it. If IBSD has not connected their patrons who are currently serviced by Ammon lines by that time, then Ammon will continue to transport flows for a limited period of time, until they take care of the issue. He thinks IBSD doesn’t know the problem they have. Lance talked about a couple of different areas and how they flow. He stated continuing to use Ammon lines would keep everything the same and discussed options. One option is installing another lift station possibly at the end of Wanda and another at Eagle Pointe. He stated both of the options involve quite a bit of money. Scott said they seem to think they don’t have to do anything and the City will take care of it. Councilmember Coletti asked to repeat. Scott repeated the language in the agreement that says “If IBSD has not connected these patrons to this system by that date, then Ammon will continue to transport flows and treat flows at a rate” and then goes on to talk about it. If they cannot agree at a formula, then Ammon will take over at Ammon rates. Councilmember Coletti said it doesn’t say it will end at a certain time. Scott said we will interpret it as the way we are reading it and the judge will determine what a reasonable period of time is. Councilmember Powell asked about the line at Kohl’s. Lance said it goes from the back of the Kohl’s Building, due east, and it crosses Eagle. It is really close. Lance said we have put another manhole there and ran a pipe from Kohl’s through the manhole with a sleeve. Lance said a pothole is where you dig to verify the actual depth. There is a chance to save $2500 by removing the manhole and they have plans both ways. Councilmember Slack asked what the steps are. Lance said there are plastic steps for a man to climb down and they don’t want them. He inquired if it is 6’ below. Lance said they were going to go deeper. He also talked about maybe welding a rebar with a solid marker. Councilmember Powell asked besides putting the two boxes together, is there anything else that concerns you. Lance said no. Councilmember Thompson asked if the City has all the easements for the IBSD line. Lance said the only one we needed was with the school district. Council asked if they have signed it. Lance has not heard yet. Scott said he saw one and it was given to Roger. He asked Lance to check with Roger. Councilmember Slack asked if the Idaho Falls position was dictated to Chris. Lance said Chris was talked to by the Idaho Falls Council. They told him specifically to not allow this to be one structure. Lance hopes we can get them to buy off on his suggestion. If his solution doesn’t fly, then IBSD will need to be approached. 2. Calibre Press Street Survival Seminar (Coletti): Councilmember Coletti asked Karl Noah if Shawna and other people in the City who could benefit from the training could go, but he was told it was only for Councilmembers. Councilmember Coletti will still push for Shawna to go. Councilmember Slack asked for contact information. Councilmember Coletti said Shawna’s husband is going who works for the Idaho Falls police department and there is no expense. Council said it is fine with Shawna going if the sheriff’s office is ok with it. Councilmember Coletti will approach Karl. 3. Misc.: Jennifer talked about the open house for the Public Works Building. She asked about having a plaque like the one in City Hall. Council said yes. She will take care of it. Ray will check and see if the contractor th will do the plaque. The open house will start at 11:30 a.m. to noon on Friday, June 17. Lunch would be provided for staff. It was discussed who was invited. She stated the Mayor had some suggestions for some formal invitations to invite. Councilmember Kirkham would like to invite people who were instrumental in getting it completed. Councilmember Kirkham will get with Jennifer on the list. Council discussed that the public was invited to the open house, but not the food. Noon to 1:30 would be an open house for the public. Council does not want the flyer to show free food. Jennifer stated that the swim pass for City personnel is available upon request and will not be able City Council Minutes 5-5-11 Page 5 of 8 to be donated. She asked about the AIC June convention and if anyone else besides Leslie, Jennifer and the Mayor would like to attend. Scott said there are three hotels for $65 tax exempt. Lance asked for authorization to advertise for replacement personnel. Councilmember Kirkham said yes. Promontory Point has had significant issues with the lift station plugging. Idaho Falls maintains it and has talked with the manager, but the manager has not taken any corrective actions. Lance will be having them fix the flushing of rags or install a grinder pump or the City will shut off the water to the facility. Council is in support. He would like the name “C Bruce Ard City of Ammon SCADA Building” put on the side visible from the road. Ray suggested a sign on the landscaping area, instead of on the building. Councilmember Kirkham would like the name on the building. Ray and Lance will come up with a design. Council said ok. Councilmember Kirkham said Mayor Ard will cut the ribbon. Lance asked who will sign the substantial completion. Council wants Lance to sign it. Councilmember Slack said the City of Idaho Falls employs two part time people to service Ammon’s lines. There is more work than can be covered by one full time employee, but less than would require two full time employees. Councilmember Thompson said Bruce Patterson went back to the school board for the fiber optic easements. Leslie stated she has the easements and has recorded them. Councilmember Slack said Councilmember Bean and Jennifer have been in conversation about the City’s investments and they have come up with an investment policy. The have met with different banks and reviewed their investment policies. They have it narrowed down to two companies and they have two separate policies. He will be bringing the policy to Council for their review at the June work session. Councilmember Kirkham asked Lance if the asphalt plants are operational and if the potholes can be thstth filled. She asked Lance to repair the following areas: Crowley and 17, Tiebreaker and 1, the Sunnyside and 17 st railroad crossings, 21 street all over, and the north end of Jessica. Councilmember Kirkham stated AIC conducted a study on Council salaries. Leslie stated it is in SharePoint under the items for review section. Councilmember Kirkham said most have insurance and get paid more, but this Council wants to stay where it is. Councilmember Kirkham reported on their area of impact meeting with Idaho Falls. There are two items – area of impact and boundaries. She said everyone feels that the area of impact for Ammon is good for 10 years of growth. Idaho Falls would like to increase their impact 2 miles, but Ron feels it will be 1 ½ miles. Councilmember Kirkham stated concerning boundaries, Idaho Falls would like to treat the Hackman Road portion thth of 25 E. the same as the Hitt Road portion of 25 E. as the City of Idaho Falls eastern most boundary and the City th of Ammon’s western most boundary at least as far south as 97 South. Ron said Idaho Falls had wanted to extend th this boundary all the way to 113 south, but this would have left Ammon with nowhere left to grow. Idaho Falls thth would like to amend the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to not jump 25 E. anywhere north of 97south. Councilmember Thompson said Idaho Falls won’t be able to provide sewer service to areas that far south. Councilmember Kirkham said they have a philosophy that they have a long standing tradition of always providing services where they are wanted. Councilmember Thompson said they will have an issue. Councilmember Kirkham said Councilmember Parry from Idaho Falls believes that there is an agreement somewhere that says, even though they have signed an easement, they can’t connect onto it. If and when they are contiguous with Idaho Falls and the constituents would like to be annexed into the City, they will have to negotiate a rate. They cannot keep people from connecting to the regional line. Councilmember Powell said economics will drive where the constituents go. Ron said if they have an impact area and if we want to cross it, we can if the property owner requests it. Councilmembers Kirkham and Powell are willing to amend the MOU to be reviewed in 10 years to use Hitt and Hackman as the common boundary line. Councilmember Powell said if they extend their area of impact then they will come over the top of the sewer line. Councilmember Kirkham feels Councilmember Lehto has a clear understanding of the cost to hook onto sewer. Ron said Ken Taylor is there too. Councilmember Kirkham said there are only a few members on the Council concerned about citizens of their City paying more. Scott said this might be what their current Council wants and not what a future Council will want. He warned the Councils to be City Council Minutes 5-5-11 Page 6 of 8 cautious. Scott asked how often do we change or deny change to a zone because it might work, but we won’t do it because as soon as they sell the property it may change. Councilmember Kirkham asked what the benefit is to jump Hitt Road. Scott said he doesn’t have a crystal ball. Councilmember Kirkham stated ultimately the landowner will decide. Councilmember Powell said look at the other side that he would be antsy if Idaho Falls wanted to jump Hitt and annex part of what we had anticipated would become part of Ammon. Leslie said you have to look at the other issues of fire and police and not have them guessing whose area it is when responding to an emergency, which will result if you start jumping roads. Councilmember Kirkham said it is logical to set a dividing line with Hitt Road. th Councilmember Slack asked where 65 S. is. Ron said at the end of the golf course. Councilmember Thompson th said he could agree to 65S., but not any further. Ron said there is no correlation, when we decided to jump the road, to keep the same standards around the sewer. The County doesn’t match City standards now. The sewer district will be a separate issue. Councilmember Thompson talked about water right issues. Ron said the City should fill in the areas that the City already has or you pay for all infrastructure to reach the area. Councilmember Kirkham said the two attorneys are supposed to draft ideas. Ron said there is more chance that Idaho Falls will jump the road than the City of Ammon. Councilmember Powell said he looks at it for protecting the City. He feels we need to be careful of our board representation on the Region. Ron said the County needs to make sure things are built to standards. Tom Hunsaker, P&Z, said Steve Serr has stated that the City of Idaho Falls standards apply within the Idaho Falls area of impact. Councilmember Powell said he is ok with that, but the board needs to protect our st multimillion dollar investment. Council is ok with going to 81 S. Ron said to have the boundary line go to where Idaho Falls has their impact, which will protect our City and not have them jump the road. Council said they agree th and to go to 97 S. Scott stated he will wait for the Idaho Falls MOU and then work from it. Councilmember Powell asked when the Quail Ridge drainage is going to be done and asked Councilmember Slack to check on it. Ron said Kelly Landon hasn’t been able to do it and they are waiting on him. The trees are ordered. Councilmember Powell said a Mr. Jagowski called and said there are homeowners who have upsized water lines. Lance discussed the language covering a hook up with a tap in for a 1 ½ inch main line, but they have only paid for a 1 inch meter. This can still deliver more water than most homeowners will actually use and the 1- inch meter won’t restrict most homeowners. He stated a 1½ inch meter is a lot more expensive and they have not paid for the bigger meter. Councilmember Thompson said when it comes from the meter pit it goes to a 1 inch line and this is where the meter goes in and then it expands to 1½ inch, so they have been living with a 1 inch line as it stands. Ray said the 1 inch meter is capable of 12 million gallons per month. Water simply has to flow through the short length of 1 inch pipe and the 1 inch meter faster than it would through 1½ inch pipe and a 1½ inch meter. Councilmember Powell said his issue is he paid for a 1½ meter. Lance said no he paid for a 1 inch meter and 1½ inch connection. Ray said they had this same complaint with a homeowner in Founders Point and they took a gauge and measured it and it showed there is no difference in the quantity of water delivered. Councilmember Coletti asked if the school board is ok with the pump. Lance said he thinks they are ok. Doug Nelson has requested the City provide the check when the easement gets signed. th Councilmember Coletti reminded the Council that he needs the newsletter articles by May 11. Councilmember Slack will be writing about Ammon Days and Councilmember Powell will work with Bruce Patterson on the main article about fiber. Lance will be covering the water system awards. Ray will handle the street sweeping and other projects. Councilmember Powell said the Ammon promotional DVD will be completed shortly. There will be a 30 second TV commercial ready for the City’s use, if so desired. EXECUTIVE SESSION: 1. Personnel Evaluations - Idaho Code 67-2345 (1-b) 2.
