He indicated fees are to cover costs, fees are not for revenue and there are no additional taxes for any fee-related projects. He noted only those fees increasing greater than 5% are required to be advertised, however, the elected officials have chosen to advertise all fee increases. He believes the fees are fair and competitive for the services rendered. Councilmember Ehardt stated she prefers each departments’ fees be addressed individually as she is not in favor of all fees. It was moved by Councilmember Marohn, seconded by Councilmember Radford, to approve the resolution adopting 2017/18 proposed fees, including new fees and fee increases, and give authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the necessary documents. Roll call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers Radford, Smith, Marohn, Dingman, Hally. Nay – Councilmember Ehardt. Motion carried. RESOLUTION NO. 2017-21 2  August 24, 2017 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE STATE OF IDAHO, ADOPTING A SCHEDULE OF REVISED FEES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED AND REGULARLY CHARGED AS SPECIFIED BY CITY CODE; AND PROVIDING THAT THIS RESOLUTION BE EFFECTIVE UPON ITS PASSAGE, APPROVAL, AND PUBLICATION ACCORDING TO LAW. Subject: Adoption of 2017/18 Fiscal Year Budget For consideration is the proposed annual 2017/18 fiscal year budget that was tentatively approved on July 27, 2017 by the Mayor and City Council. Municipal Services respectfully requests the adoption of the 2017/18 fiscal year budget in the amount of $194,933,941, appropriating the monies to and among the various funds. Councilmember Marohn stated the budget was tentatively approved at the July 27 Council Meeting following numerous meetings. The tentative budget was advertised as required by Idaho Code, a public hearing was held for additional comments, and follow-up discussion by the Council occurred to review any comments. The $194,933,941 requested budget is a $260,526 decrease from the 2016/17 Fiscal Year budget. Councilmember Marohn stated the budget is a balance between available revenue and needs with priorities set by the Council, realizing not all items can be funded in one (1) fiscal year. He stated over the course of previous years, the Council has tried to ensure infrastructure, services, public safety, and all departments are addressed to ensure citizens are supported. He expressed his appreciation to the Council and the Municipal Services staff as he stated this is a very manual financial-based operation until the Cayenta system is fully implemented. Councilmember Ehardt expressed her appreciation to the Council, Mayor, Directors, and Municipal Services staff. She indicated in the previous year she requested a change of the budget process to ensure Council controls the budget. Although she believes progress was made, she does not believe it’s all there yet. She indicated she supports many items, including requests in the Community Development Services Department and the Civic Auditorium renovations. She is hopeful the Civic Auditorium renovations can also be addressed with private donations. Councilmember Ehardt believes additional Council discussion with items of importance, including capital improvement plans, needs to occur prior to department presentations as she does not believe the Council is adequately addressing all the needs. She stated the Council ultimately controls the budget and priorities, hence the need for the conservations. She indicated she has met with community members and user groups and she has real concerns. She does not believe the Parks and Recreation items are being addressed, including the Aquatic Center, the Ice Arena, and the baseball/soccer fields. She believes the new park should be left in its natural state until current needs can be addressed. Councilmember Ehardt stated although the budget has decreased from the previous year, taxes and levy will continue to increase due to an increase in the General Fund expenses. She stated her primary concern is the tax increase to business owners. She stated although the process has improved she cannot support the budget. She commended Councilmember Marohn for his numerous hours working on the budget. She stated the Council is being called upon to use their experience and wisdom to do the best job possible for the citizens and this City and she is grateful to be part of the process. Councilmember Hally stated the budget was a lot of work. He indicated Heritage Park was discussed including additional money raised by private sector and donations. He stated more money needs to be spent with less budget as there is a need to build for the future as growth allows. Councilmember Hally stated priorities need to be considered although specific proposed funds need to be matched to gain assets such as Heritage Park and the Civic Auditorium. He stated the City is doing what the State allows by taking the 3% levy. He realizes taxes may increase but the City must maintain services to allow growth. Councilmember Hally believes the fees are comparable to other communities. He believes the Council diligently reviewed these issues one by one. He is proud of the budget. Councilmember Dingman stated the FY2017/18 budget is unique as this is an incredible opportunity to leverage taxpayer dollars with private donations to accomplish significant improvements such as the Civic Auditorium and the Idaho Falls Zoo. She believes this budget allows the City to prioritize some programs and efficiencies including code enforcement and Parks and Recreation projects. She stated she has faith in the team of Directors and Councilmembers to continue conservative and prudent financial spending. Councilmember Dingman commended the Municipal Services staff, Councilmember Marohn, other Councilmembers, and the Mayor. She is supportive of the budget. Councilmember Smith stated, in response to Councilmember Ehardt, she seems to infer the Council didn’t do their job. He stated all items Councilmember Ehardt referred to were discussed. He believes she offended the remaining Councilmembers. Councilmember Radford stated comments have been well said. 3  August 24, 2017 Councilmember Marohn believes the City is the most solvent and liquid financial City as money is not borrowed, the assets are very liquid, and there are good investments to ensure the reserves are growing. It was moved by Councilmember Marohn, seconded by Councilmember Radford, to approve the annual appropriation ordinance for the 2017/18 fiscal year budget 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 Hally, Marohn, Radford, Dingman, Smith. Nay – Councilmember Ehardt. Motion carried. At the request of Mayor Casper, the City Clerk read the ordinance by title only: ORDINANCE NO. 3130 THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO, FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCING OCTOBER 1, 2017 AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2018, APPROPRIATING AND APPORTIONING THE MONIES OF SAID CITY TO AND AMONG THE SEVERAL FUNDS OF SAID CITY AND DESIGNATING THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH SAID MONIES MAY BE EXPENDED; SPECIFYING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY PAID BY PROPERTY TAX TO BE APPROPRIATED TO SAID FUNDS; AND PROVIDING WHEN THE ORDINANCE SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE. Subject: Idaho Falls Civic Auditorium Donation Memorandum of Understanding Municipal Services respectfully requests Mayor and Council approval for the Idaho Falls Civic Auditorium Donation Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This MOU stipulates the donation of a total of $750,000 for the purpose of matching City funding for certain improvements, repairs and renovations to the Idaho Falls Civic Auditorium. Councilmember Marohn stated the City has owned the Civic Auditorium since 1953 and the sense of direction has been lost over the course of several years. He stated this MOU will begin the critical upgrades needed for this facility. He indicated in 2014 an ordinance was created to: form a committee; renegotiate the contract with School District #91 outlining any use of the facility; and, initiate administrative and marketing services with the Idaho Falls Arts Council (IFAC). Councilmember Marohn stated, per the MOU, the City will donate $400,000 in FY2017/18 and $350,000 in FY2018/19. He expressed his appreciation to the Council and Mayor Casper for supporting this item. Mayor Casper recognized Civic Auditorium Committee Members in attendance Arthur Kull and Ann Voilleque and stated it is the work of the committee that made this MOU possible. It was noted by Terri Frickey, Personal Representative for William J. Maeck, this donation is on behalf of Mr. Maeck only, not the Maeck Foundation. Councilmember Marohn expressed his heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Maeck and Ms. Frickey. Councilmember Radford stated it’s an inspiration to see the number of people coming together in partnerships. He expressed his appreciation to all those who give their time and efforts on behalf of the City. It was moved by Councilmember Marohn, seconded by Councilmember Smith, to approve the Idaho Falls Civic Auditorium Donation Memorandum of Understanding with the clarification that paragraph 5.A. be amended to reflect $800,000, and paragraph 5.B. be amended to reflect $700,000 (to match the appropriate FY budgets), and give authorization for the Mayor to sign the necessary documents.

There are no changes from the previous year. It was moved by Councilmember Dingman, seconded by Councilmember Radford, to approve the School Resource Officer Agreement with Idaho Falls School District #91, and give authorization for the Mayor to execute the necessary documents.

Public Works Subject: Bid Award – Eastside Greenbelt Pathway Pancheri Drive to West Broadway On August 8, 2017, bids were received and opened for the Eastside Greenbelt Pathway Pancheri Drive to West Broadway project. Public Works and Parks and Recreation recommend approval of the plans and specifications, award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, HK Contractors an amount of $271,921.50. Public Works Director Chris Fredericksen stated bids were opened for this project in July 2017, although the single bid was rejected at that time due to the lack of cost comparison. He stated this project entails widening a current pathway south of Broadway as well as a portion of the pathway in proximity to US20, as an anticipated grant was not received. Director Fredericksen stated after further evaluation, specifications were changed to allow the contractor the choice of completion date. This change resulted in an approximately $20,000 cost reduction. He indicated sufficient funding has been identified. It was moved by Councilmember Ehardt, seconded by Councilmember Radford, to approve of the plans and specifications and award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, HK Contractors an amount of $271,921.50. Roll call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers Dingman, Radford, Marohn, Smith, Hally, Ehardt. Nay – none. Motion carried.

The agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and allows ITD to charge the permittee and retain the cost of permits as provided for within ITD rules. Director Fredericksen stated this item was discussed at the most recent Association of Idaho Cities (AIC) conference in conjunction with the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC). The agreement will allow ITD to solidify issuing oversized truck permits on routes which have been identified by the City. He stated the City will not be seeking part of the fee for the service provided by ITD. 5  August 24, 2017 It was moved by Councilmember Ehardt, seconded by Councilmember Dingman, to adopt the resolution, approve the agreement, and give authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the necessary documents.

The proposed grant is for $90,000 and has been reviewed by the City Attorney. Director Fredericksen stated DOE approached the City regarding projects that could be funded through fines DOE received from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The projects, identified as environmentally friendly-type projects, have been approved through DEQ. Councilmember Radford believes this is a great opportunity for the City to use the penalties for these projects. Councilmember Dingman stated she is anxious to see the curbside recycling to proceed forward. Mayor Casper stated curbside recycling was not previously cost effective. Director Fredericksen stated the grant would be utilized prior to October 2018, although he anticipates to begin as soon as possible. It was moved by Councilmember Ehardt, seconded by Councilmember Dingman, to approve the Supplemental Environmental Project Agreement and give authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the necessary documents.

Subject: Iona Bonneville Sewer District - Request for Sewer Service Area Expansion for School District 93 Public Works is in receipt of a request from the Iona Bonneville Sewer District (IBSD) to increase the District's Sewer Service Area boundary by 42.96 acres for School District 93. The IBSD Board is also requesting the proposed 42.96 acres for the School District 93 expansion not be counted against the 235 acres available for future annexations. Director Fredericksen stated discussion with the IBSD has included keeping the sewer service size maintained versus seeking expansion. He indicated in the previous year a de-annexation occurred which reduced the IBSD sewer service by 235 acres. IBSD does not believe the school district, including the construction of a new school, would create as much flow as a subdivision. Director Fredericksen indicated there are no comparisons available to determine the flow rate. Councilmember Ehardt expressed her concern with the additional request from IBSD as she believes adequate flow will occur. Mayor Casper stated the motion could be separated into two (2) motions if Council desires. She stated the sewer service size established for the IBSD was to limit the amount of growth outside City limits. Director Fredericksen stated the Wastewater Treatment Plan (WWTP) capacity, approximately 50-60%, would be available to treat the flow. He expressed his concern serving the IBSD due to the mainline sizes, which are evaluated yearly. He stated several discussions have occurred regarding this concern including any fees associated with the cost and flow. It was moved by Councilmember Ehardt, seconded by Councilmember Radford, to approve the request from the Iona Bonneville Sewer District (IBSD) to increase the District's Sewer Service Area boundary by 42.96 acres for School District 93.

The agreement has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. Councilmember Radford stated this agreement has been value engineered with the assistance of Public Works which resulted in savings of approximately $50,000. He stated this item is being funded from money set aside for a Comprehensive Plan in conjunction with the CAPRA (Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies) certification, which did not occur. After brief comments regarding the funding for this item, it was moved by Councilmember Smith, seconded by Councilmember Ehardt, to table the item for additional discussion to 7  August 24, 2017 determine the for-mentioned funding source and savings.
