Roll call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers Ehardt, Radford, Marohn, Dingman, Hally. Nay – none. Motion carried. Idaho Falls Police Department submitted the following item for Council consideration: Subject: Dog Control Ordinance For consideration is an amendment to the Dog Control Ordinance. The Dog Control Ordinance has references to kennels as a place; which is in conflict with current zoning ordinances. Zoning ordinance defines kennels as a use. To address this conflict, staff recommends replacing the City’s current kennel licensing with an additional dog permit. The amendment also provides for procedural due process to appeal a denial of an additional dog permit. The City Attorney has drafted an amendment to City Ordinance Title 5, Chapter 2. Although not advertised as a public hearing, Mayor Pro Tem Hally allowed public comments. Steve Barrara, 2713 Laguna Drive, Idaho Falls, appeared. Mr. Barrara stated it appears the proposed ordinance makes it easier for property owners to have up to five (5) dogs. He reviewed previous issues he has encountered with a neighbor and their barking dogs, and indicated the situation was only controlled for a short amount of time. He believes this proposed ordinance is more of an ease for the City, not the neighbors. Del Sprague, 1808 Alturas, Idaho Falls, appeared. Mr. Sprague stated it’s very difficult to deal with neighbors and their dogs. He is adamantly opposed to removing the neighborhood approval from the proposed ordinance. He reviewed issues he has encountered with previous neighbors. He does not agree with this proposed ordinance. Councilmember Radford shared similar concerns and believes the neighborhood should have a right to voice their opinion. Councilmember Dingman stated the laws and access to city permits should be equitable, and believes neighborhood input with regard to a City permit is not equitable as a neighbor is not required to give any specific reason if they vote against a permit. She reviewed the proposed permitting process, including the language clarifying a nuisance. She indicated the number of dogs isn’t always related to a nuisance. Police Chief Mark McBride stated there are current nuisance laws that are enforced when law enforcement is made aware of the situation(s). He stated this proposed ordinance allows due process. Councilmember Ehardt stated the intent of this proposed ordinance was for the Police Department and Community Development Services Department to be in compliance with the proper language of “Kennel”. She indicated the 6  JULY 14, 2016 number of dogs allowed has not been discussed at this time. She believes the neighborhood approval should be discontinued. Mr. Fife stated this proposed ordinance would give the authority to staff to approve any license or permit, not City residents. It was moved by Councilmember Dingman, seconded by Councilmember Marohn, to approve the Ordinance amending City Code Title 5, Chapter 2, Dog Control Ordinance, under the suspension of the rules requiring three complete and separate readings and that it be read by title and published by summary. Roll call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers Ehardt, Dingman. Nay – Councilmembers Radford, Hally, Marohn. Motion failed. Community Development Services submitted the following items for Council consideration: Subject: Request for Waiver of Electric Line Extension Fees, Lorin C. Anderson, Division No. 1, 3rd Amended For consideration is a request for waiver of electric line extension fees for the project at Lorin C. Anderson, Division No. 1, 3rd Amended. The total fees are $51,000. This request is made pursuant to City Code 8-5-31 which states, "Council reserves the right to waive or adjust fees (other than net metering fees) upon a finding of good cause to do so where such waiver or reduction supports redevelopment or the annexation of property contiguous with or surrounded by the City." This site is surrounded by City development and is near the core of the City rather than on the fringes. Sewer and water facilities are adjacent to the site. Because the site is a greenfield, or not previously developed, significant electrical infrastructure is required to support the development. Idaho Falls Power and Community Development staff are therefore recommending a waiver of the labor portion of the fee which totals $12,750. It was moved by Councilmember Dingman, seconded by Councilmember Hally, to waive the labor portion of electric line extension fees in the amount of $12,750 for the project at Lorin C.

The applicant is prepared to record the plat immediately following the granting of an extension. Staff recommends approval of the request to extend the deadline to record the plat an additional 90 days. It was moved by Councilmember Dingman, seconded by Councilmember Ehardt, to approve the request to extend the deadline for recording a final plat for Lorin C. Anderson, Division No. 1, 3rd Amended, for an additional 90 days. Roll call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers Ehardt, Marohn, Hally, Radford, Dingman. Nay – none. Motion carried.
