Presentation – Bank of Idaho donation of Automated External Defibrillator (AED):
Police Chief Bryce Johnson recognized the community support for the Idaho Falls Police Department (IFPD) from
different venues, including the Bank of Idaho. He then turned the presentation to Mr. Jeff Newgard, Bank of Idaho
President. Mr. Newgard stated the Bank of Idaho tagline is Committed to Community, and the logo contains a heart
which speaks to the commitment and love for the Bank of Idaho employees, their customers, and to the community.
Mr. Newgard stated he has participated on two (2) ride-alongs with Sgt. Pat McKenna and quickly understood the
sacrifice the police officers perform on a regular basis to the community. He also stated he has seen the emotional
sacrifice of the officers, which are not seen by the general public. These sacrifices compelled him to step forward
and support the officers who sacrifice so much for our safety. Mr. Newgard stated the Bank of Idaho recently
donated an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to Holy Rosary School. He recognized those Holy Rosary
School staff members who were present. He believes Holy Rosary is very similar in their acts of sacrifice and
commitment. He also recognized Pat Tucker, who has partnered for the placement of the AED in Holy Rosary
School. Mr. Newgard then presented an award to Sgt. Pat McKenna, on behalf of the IFPD.
Sgt. McKenna stated, as a police officer, he knows how the community recognizes the police officers. He does not
believe there is a divide in the community between the citizens and the IFPD. He also believes the IFPD tries every
day to do their best for the community members. Sgt. McKenna believes the partnership with the citizens in Idaho
Falls is amazing. He expressed his appreciation to the community.
Mayor Casper stated this honor recognizes the dedication from the IFPD as well as all sworn, and unsworn
responders, and this AED furthers the safety goals within the City. She encouraged citizens to participate in the
ride-along program.
Ms. Tucker expressed her appreciation for the community support of the Cady Tucker Run in the Spirit, which has
donated 12 AEDs to local schools. She stated the recent PulsePoint app will be furthered on behalf of a Hope
Lutheran student.

Municipal Services
Subject: Idaho Falls Power Request – Surplus of Property
Idaho Falls Power has established that a parcel of property is no longer needed. This property is located along the
east dike of the Gem State Project, approximately ¾ of a mile south of 65th South and ¼ mile west of Yellowstone
Highway. Municipal Services and Idaho Falls Power (IFP) recommends the surplus of said property and requests
authorization to dispose of said property with a declared minimum value price of $2,000.00.
Councilmember Smede stated this property can be surplused under State Statute requirements. Councilmember
Francis noted no formal appraisal has been completed for this property. He expressed his concern for any approval
without an appraisal for the 2.1 acres. He also questioned a possible additional action of additional property.
Municipal Services Director Pamela Alexander stated this parcel, per documentation received from IFP, has no
public access and is largely encompassed by a return irrigation basin. She reiterated this is the first step in the
process. She indicated a minimum bid should be established and the minimum value price has been compared to a
similar process IFP followed on a previous parcel several years ago. Idaho Falls Power Assistant Manager Bear
Prairie stated this property is a surveying property boundary issue and is a cleanup of an IFP parcel within private
property. Brief comments followed regarding appraisal of the parcel. Councilmember Hally believes it would be a
waste of money for an appraisal with this parcel. Councilmember Radford concurred. Mr. Prairie stated there is no
commercial value as the property is land locked, which also creates a liability issue. He also stated the additional
action questioned by Councilmember Francis is part of the two-part transaction process.
It was moved by Councilmember Smede, seconded by Councilmember Dingman, to authorize the surplus of
property and direct the City Clerk to publish a summary of the action taken by the City Council in the official
newspaper of the City and provide notice of a public hearing. Roll call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers
Freeman, Radford, Smede, Francis, Dingman, Hally. Nay – none. Motion carried.

Subject: Public Hearing – Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment, Resolution, and Reasoned Statement of
Relevant Criteria and Standards, Sunnyside Road near Wallace Dairy
5
May 24, 2018
For consideration is the application for a Resolution Amending the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from
Lower Density Residential to Planned Transition, and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for
the area south of Sunnyside Road, east of Holmes Avenue, west of Summit Run Trail, and north of Dairy Lane.
Community Development Services is the applicant for this request as part of a City initiated annexation process for
properties in the area. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this request at its May 1, 2018 meeting
and recommended approval by a vote of 7-1 with one abstention. Staff concurs with this recommendation.
Mayor Casper opened the public hearing and ordered all items presented be entered into the record.
Community Development Services Director Brad Cramer stated there are two (2) processes simultaneously
occurring in same area. Per staff’s request, the City is the applicant for the Comprehensive Plan amendment as this
is part of a City-initiated annexation process. Director Cramer stated in April, 2018 the P&Z considered a
Comprehensive Plan amendment and an annexation at the request of the property owner on a specific parcel.
However, the amendment was only for that particular parcel. Director Cramer stated this was a miscommunication
between staff and himself as a Comprehensive Plan amendment for a specific parcel does not make sense and is not
how the Comprehensive Plan works. Therefore, the P&Z recommended denial of the Comprehensive Plan
amendment although they recommended approval of the annexation and initial zoning as Commercial zone.
Director Cramer stated the annexation and initial zoning doesn't make sense unless the Comprehensive Plan is
changed. He indicated the applicant was requested to delay the annexation request until the Comprehensive Plan
was addressed. He stated the property owner in the specified area still prefers to annex, and the City-initiated
annexations are still in process. He reiterated this specific item is only for the Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Director Cramer presented the following:
Slide 1 – Property under consideration in the current zoning map
Slide 2 – Aerial photo of property under consideration
Slide 3 – Additional aerial photo of property under consideration
Director Cramer stated this property currently has existing homes, vacant land, and commercial property in the
County. He indicated over the previous year applications have been received for City annexation. He believes the
Planned Transition (PT) designation will recognize the changing area. The PT is also intended for residential uses
converting to commercial or professional office uses but are still adjacent to residences. Director Cramer reviewed
other Planned Transition locations. He noted the Planned Transition does allow a variety of uses and he believes a
variety of uses will continue, which is appropriate.
Slide 4 – Future Land Use of the Comprehensive Plan
Director Cramer noted that most of the surrounding area is Low Density Residential. He also reiterated the
Bonneville County commercial uses and single-family residential areas. He stated the Comprehensive Plan policies
will support the idea of allowing Limited Commercial and Higher Density Residential uses in this area. He believes
Low Density Residential is not likely in this area.
Slide 5 – Properties recommended by staff to a Planned Transition designation
Director Cramer stated this designation is a planning tool only and would not give anyone development rights.
Slide 6 – Photos of properties along Sunnyside Road
Director Cramer believes this is a challenging area for planning.
To Councilmember Smede’s clarification, Director Cramer stated the County properties currently have a
Commercial zone and many of these properties currently have City utilities.
To Councilmember Francis’ clarification, Director Cramer stated the Planned Transition Overlay zone allows
additional standards on properties to protect adjacent property owners.
Mayor Casper requested any public comment.
Joshua Jackson, Idaho Falls, appeared. Mr. Jackson requested clarification of the property being considered as well
as the Council action. He indicated from previous staff conversations he believes the Comprehensive Plan
amendment only applied to the Wallace Dairy property, not the entire area.
Director Cramer reappeared. He clarified the request for the Comprehensive Plan amendment is for the entire area.
The annexation is not for the entire area.

May 24, 2018
Mayor Casper closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Smede reiterated this is currently Bonneville County property which is zoned Commercial. She
believes the Planned Transition designation allows the City to plan for the future. Councilmember Freeman stated
this action will make a recommendation for future annexation only. Mayor Casper stated recommended zoning
must comply with the Comprehensive Plan.
It was moved by Councilmember Smede, seconded by Councilmember Dingman, to approve the Resolution
amending the Comprehensive Plan designation in the area south of Sunnyside Road, east of Holmes Avenue, west
of Summit Run Trail, and north of Dairy Lane, and give authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the
necessary documents. Roll call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers Radford, Freeman, Smede, Francis, Dingman,
Hally. Nay – none. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION NO. 2018-10

STATE OF IDAHO, AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION IN THE AREA LOCATED

NORTH OF DAIRY LANE; AND PROVIDING THAT THIS RESOLUTION BE EFFECTIVE UPON ITS
PASSAGE, APPROVAL AND PUBLICATION ACCORDING TO LAW.
It was moved by Councilmember Smede, seconded by Councilmember Dingman, to approve the Reasoned
Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from Lower Density

call as follows: Aye – Councilmembers Hally, Smede, Dingman, Freeman, Francis, Radford. Nay – none. Motion
