outlined the work required to be completed by Idaho Falls Power to serve the new buildings and established the rate
to recoup costs associated with infrastructure improvements. The INL has selected a General Contractor, JE Dunn,
to construct the new facilities. The construction design of these new facilities includes a joint trench wherein power
and other utilities and communication infrastructure are planned to be placed. Because both JE Dunn and Idaho
Falls Power's contractors would be excavating and placing infrastructure in the same trench Idaho Falls Power
requests declaration of a sole-source procurement pursuant to the provisions of Idaho Code, Section 67-
2
December 14, 2017

Dunn as the sole source vendor, waive the associated bidding requirements, and direct Mayor Casper to purchase
the services as a sole source. Roll call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers Dingman, Radford, Marohn, Smith,
Hally. Nay – none. Motion carried.
Subject: Permission to Contract with Northwest Lineman College for Personnel Services related to Safety

gaps have been observed. Staff has reached out to the Northwest Lineman College related to personnel services
include safety training offerings specific to linemen and substation technicians.
Councilmember Smith stated this contract would provide certification and additional training related to hot wire
installation. He believes this is money well spent for protection of the lineman. Councilmember Radford expressed
his appreciation for the investment in the employees especially regarding safety. He also believes this is money

Community Development Services Director Brad Cramer appeared with the following:
Slide 1 – Property under consideration in current zoning area
Slide 2 – Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
Slide 3 – Aerial photo of property under consideration, currently undeveloped
Slide 4 – Additional aerial photo of property under consideration
Slide 5 – Photo looking southwest from northeast corner
Slide 6 – Photo looking southeast from northwest corner
Slide 7 – Photo looking northeast from southwest corner
Slide 8 – Photo looking northwest from southeast corner
Director Cramer indicated the PUD no longer makes sense for this zone, therefore staff recommended removal. He
stated the restrictions made it difficult for commercial development, including the requirement of 25% of site to be
a common open space, two (2) amenities provided for residents (the application proposed will have no residents),
and setback changes. He also indicated there is no overlay on the properties to the east and the west as these are
County properties. To the response of Councilmember Radford, Director Cramer stated as a common practice years
ago with platting, any small entryways were dedicated to the City as part of City Right of Way. He indicated these
small entryways can be difficult to maintain as they are not part of a true roadway network.
Mayor Casper requested any public comment. No one appeared. Mayor Casper closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Dingman concurred that the PUD no longer makes sense.
