Opening Remarks/Announcements:
Mayor Casper stated per the laws of the State of Idaho, it is the responsibility of City Council to adopt a budget each
Fiscal Year. She indicated the current Council has taken this responsibility very seriously. They have been diligent,
have asked several questions, and have made inquiries of staff to ensure each expenditure or program was logical and
justified. She expressed her appreciation to the Councilmembers. Mayor Casper also stated each Department Director
is tasked with assisting the process by recommending a budget and identifying priorities which allows the Council to
adopt the final budget. She stated the budget process is designed to be dynamic and is an ever-changing document.
The budget process does little good if it is not flexible enough to change priorities over time. The City follows the
schedule in State Code for budget adoption, however, City planning efforts began many months ago. Mayor Casper
reviewed the budget process and the numerous meetings/discussions which have occurred over the course of the
previous months. She indicated additional meetings have been scheduled for Council to review any public comments
prior to the final adoption of the budget occurring at the August 24, 2017 Council Meeting. She expressed her
appreciation to those community members who have appeared for the public hearing. Mayor Casper then turned the
meeting to Director Alexander for presentation of the proposed budget.
Director Alexander reiterated the budget process and numerous meetings/discussions. She recognized additional
Finance Team members Kenny McOmber, Treasurer, and Mark Hagedorn, Controller. She expressed her
appreciation to all Department Directors, Councilmembers, and Mayor Casper for their guidance.

Mayor Casper opened the Public Hearing for the proposed fiscal year 2017/2018 budget.
Nancy Carlson, Idaho Falls resident, appeared. Ms. Carlson expressed her appreciation to participate on the Fire
Department Citizens Review Committee (CRC). She stated, through that experience, she learned the value of strategic
planning, and she believes a budget should flow from a strategic plan. She indicated she does not see strategic
planning on a City level and she believes needs should be considered first and any wants considered last. Ms. Carlson
believes the needs consist of public safety, infrastructure, and code enforcement. In reference to code enforcement,
she believes all residents should have their surrounding houses look appropriate. She praised Chief Hanneman as she
indicated the Fire Department is following a strategic plan including short-range and long-range plans. Ms. Carlson
stated her concerns for the budget don’t focus on ‘break even departments’ as she indicated the Police Department
will always cost money as this service is provided for everyone, similar to the Fire Department. Ms. Carlson also
expressed her concern for the wants in the budget related to the increase in the Parks & Recreation (P&R) Department
and the amount of capital money being spent. She reviewed previous projects including a memorial water park,
Connecting Our Community, and Tautphaus Park. She believes the P&R budget should be right-sized and we should
fix what we currently have and not encumber ourselves with more land to maintain and fix. Ms. Carlson realizes
donations are important but reiterated items should be placed as wants and needs. She believes the zoo is being well
managed but all items in the P&R budget need to be decided when is good enough, good enough. She believes in
going back to the basics, fixing what we have, maintain those items well, and use the taxpayers money wisely.
Jeff Forbes, Idaho Falls resident, appeared. Mr. Forbes stated he currently serves on the P&R Commission. He
commended the Department Directors and believes they are outstanding, confident people. He also expressed his
3
August 17, 2017
appreciation to the elected officials for proceeding with Heritage Park and the Zoo Education Center. He stated ten
(10) acres of prime real estate along the Snake River was donated for Heritage Park by Mr. Stafford Smith. He
indicated the City has also received a pledge in the amount of $500,000 in matching funds from Ball Ventures for
development of Heritage Park. He believes this is a wonderful opportunity. He indicated a similar occurrence is
related to the Maeck Education Center. Mr. Forbes stated he senses there is a perception that P&R is over-sized and
the budget is too large. He would argue this is not the case as typical P&R Departments are not self-sufficient or self-
supportive, such as Idaho Falls Power. He stated the parks do not charge an entrance fee, therefore, there is no revenue
stream. He also stated there is perception that City acreage is larger than other comparable cities, which is not true.
Mr. Forbes is supportive of the budget.
Mark Ankeny, Idaho Falls resident, appeared. Mr. Ankeny stated he and his family arrived in Idaho Falls in 2002 for
potential employment. He indicated his first impression of Idaho Falls was questionable for residency for his family.
He stated since that time, his view of the City has changed due to the trail system, bird watching, and free concerts.
He believes this change has taken more than 15 years of investment by several individuals. Mr. Ankeny believes the
improvements have increased the quality of life as he believes retirees, prior to this time, have relocated elsewhere.
He also believes current residents are easier to retain than to recruit due to the parks system. He stated he has been
amazed with the P&R projects with the relatively little money they’ve leveraged. He believes any investment will
see the return for a more attractive community. He stated Idaho Falls is now the place his family wants to be.
Stephanie Rose, Idaho Falls resident, appeared. Ms. Rose concurred with quality of life regarding the P&R. She
believes another quality of life includes appearance of neighborhoods, which involves Code Enforcement. She is
supportive of the Community Development Services (CDS) budget with the requested increase in staff and reworking
of the fragmented system. Ms. Rose stated she and her husband are committed to their historical neighborhood but
believes other families have left the neighborhood as it does not appear to be safe, which it is. She stated the longer
the slum and blight continues, the neighborhood will become less and less safe. Ms. Rose indicated if citizen requests,
complaints, and concerns were reviewed, she believes several of the concerns would be related to condition issues.
She believes even the recent temporary staff in code enforcement made a difference. She also believes the civility of
residents will self-enforce with additional code enforcement personnel. She commended Director Cramer and the
CDS staff and requested support for the Code Enforcement position.
Arthur Kull, Idaho Falls resident and Civic Auditorium Committee Chair, appeared. Mr. Kull stated he is passionate
about the endeavor to renovate the facility, which was constructed in 1953 and is in dire need of improvements. He
stated the first phase of renovations, in the amount of $1.5m, will be completed over the next two (2) years. He
expressed his appreciation for City matching funds of $800,000. Mr. Kull stated he received documentation from
Brandi Newton, Executive Director of the Idaho Falls Arts Council (IFAC), on behalf of the IFAC board, staff, and
supporters, offering full support of the budget that is being proposed, specifically for prioritizing the Civic Auditorium
and its proposed improvements. Mr. Kull stated, as Vice President of the Idaho Falls Symphony, the message would
be exactly the same.
Timothy Downs, Idaho Falls resident, appeared. Mr. Downs stated Bonneville County residents recently passed a
new taxing district for the College of Eastern Idaho (CEI). He also stated School District #91 will be asking for $110m
bond to build a new high school. He indicated he has no problems with the schools, however, he expressed concern
with regard to the tax levy being increased to fund Heritage Park. He indicated the Idaho P&R submitted a grant
approximately two (2) years ago for improvements to Idaho Falls Raceway. The proposed budget, at that time,
included funding for fencing at Idaho Falls Raceway. He stated the City requested more expensive fencing, therefore
the Idaho P&R grant was not accepted. Mr. Downs believes current items need maintained before adding new
projects. He concurred with Director Weitzel’s budget presentation stating the P&R Department has many items to
care for with no money. Mr. Downs expressed his concern for use of the tax levy.
Hereschell Mynarcik, Idaho Falls resident, appeared. Mr. Mynarcik stated he is one of many volunteers at the
Sportsman Friendship Japanese Garden who performs maintenance at this garden. He indicated several comments
from visitors are frequently received regarding the garden. Mr. Mynarcik also stated he lives in the Historical District
4
August 17, 2017
and indicated additional code enforcement is needed regarding rental and homeowner debris to ensure the area is kept
safe and clean for all residents.
Mayor Casper opened the Public Hearing for the proposed fiscal year 2017-2018 new fees/fee increases. She stated
the process for any fee increase is similar to the process for the budget, including public notification. She believes
the over-all fee increases are very modest, however, she indicated particular fee increases within Idaho Falls Power
(IFP) as well as Public Works (PW) may be significant. She requested clarification from Director Flowers and
Director Fredericksen.
Director Flowers appeared to present an overview of the IFP process to assess rates and fees to customers. She stated
the citizens own IFP as IFP is a not-for-profit public power utility. She indicated the rates, policies, and strategic
direction are set by the elected body. She stated rates are set to cover costs, with appropriate adjustments as needed.
IFP owns and operates hydropower along the Snake River, a small amount of wind power on the foothills, as well as
solar power on the IFP facility. Additionally, IFP is a Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) customer. BPA is the
federal power marketing administration in the northwest. Largely, IFP power supply comes from BPA. Director
Flowers stated BPA sets their rates on a two (2)-year cycle, with current rate consideration occurring at the end of
July 2017. She indicated BPA has announced the power supply, purchased from IFP, will be increasing by 6%,
therefore requiring a fee increase to IFP customers. She briefly reviewed additional costs beyond the control of IFP,
including whole sale power purchases, fish and wildlife mitigation, and transmission costs. These outside costs
amount to approximately 62.3% of IFP expenses. Director Flowers stated the last consumptive use fee increase
occurred in 2013. She stated in 2015, that fee was then decreased along with absorbing a BPA increase which
coincided with debt repayment of the hydro power plant. She briefly reviewed comparison of commercial and
residential monthly costs to surrounding cities. She stated energy consultation as well as additional education will be
offered to all customers.
Director Fredericksen appeared. He stated following the evaluation of wastewater rates, wastewater connection fees,
and water connection fees, recommendations are being requested in the proposed fee increases. He also stated new
fees consist of: $25 per load Bonneville County disposal fee, this fee will be a direct pass-through fee; $10 per month
fee associated with a franchise agreement to provide curbside recycling; and variable message sign boards fees for
special events. Additional fee increases consist of wastewater increase of 5% (the last increase occurred in 2013);
water increase of 5% (in conjunction with the Water Facility Plan); water connection fees (to new development)
increase of 20% to occur over the course of five (5) years. Director Fredericksen believes the City rates are very
competitive with other cities.
Mayor Casper requested any public comments, no one appeared. Mayor Casper requested any follow-up discussion
by the Councilmembers. There were no comments by Councilmembers.
With regard to the upcoming eclipse, Mayor Casper encouraged a good hospitable spirit and patience from all
residents. She indicated a Call Center has been opened for eclipse-related questions. She also stated a burn ban is in
effect and will extend into October.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m.
