program, including the city’s energy conservation loan program and customer incentive rebates
program, however, the purposes and objectives of keeping the accounting for the original EE program
no longer exist.

THAT THIS RESOLUTION BE EFFECTIVE UPON ITS PASSAGE.
2) IFP 22-13 Transformer Bid Purchase
Idaho Falls Power solicited from qualified vendors to purchase transformer inventory, the low bidder
with the best lead times had additional terms and conditions and was therefore considered
non-responsive. Time is of the essence and the other bidders lead times were considered unacceptable.
IFP and City Legal Services recommend that the city reject all bids and put the project out for rebid,
pursuant to the procedures identified in Idaho Code §67-2805(b)(xi).
Mr. Boorman reminded the council that transformers were previously bid in December of 2021 and
those bids were also rejected. He believes a rebid will occur again in spring. Councilor Radford stated a
shortage of transformers and the lead time is an ongoing issue in American public power. He expressed
his appreciation for the leadership, realizing the lead times are the most problematic. He noted the city
currently has a good supply of transformers at this time.

River Landing Division 16.
Attached is the application for the Final Plat, Development Agreement, and Reasoned Statement of
Relevant Criteria and Standards for Snake River Landing Division 16. The Planning and Zoning
Commission considered this item at its February 1, 2022, meeting and recommended approval by a
unanimous vote with the condition that the developer address the shared use path along the canal. This
condition is addressed in the development agreement. Staff concurs with this recommendation.
Councilor Francis believes connecting our community and alternate transportation is important. He
noted the pathway has been coordinated with the staff and the developer.
It was moved by Councilor Francis, seconded by Councilor Burtenshaw, to approve the Development
Agreement for the Final Plat for Snake River Landing Division 16 and give authorization for the Mayor
and City Clerk to sign said agreement. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye - Councilors
Burtenshaw, Hally, Radford, Freeman, Francis. Nay - none.

3) Final Plat, Development Agreement, and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards,
Wasatch Apple Subdivision.
Attached is the application for the Final Plat, Development Agreement, and Reasoned Statement of
Relevant Criteria and Standards for Wasatch Apple Subdivision. The Planning and Zoning Commission
considered this item at its April 19, 2022, meeting and recommended approval by a unanimous vote.
Staff concurs with this recommendation.
Councilor Francis stated the plat includes an extension of Jennie Lee to 25th Street. He expressed his
concern that the 27’ lane width will make this street look faster than the 25 MPH (miles per hour)
speed limit, noting there a variety of ways to construct intersections and draw lane lines, etc. that help
reduce the sense of a fast street. He indicated in the Reasoned Statement there is a clear reference of
principles on pages 91-92 of the Comprehensive Plan that references pathways. He requested planning,
the developer, and the city engineer explore ways to make the street look like a 25 MPH not a 35 MPH
speed limit as he believes there are ways to slow people down. He proposed an amendment to the
Page 6 of 10
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final June 30, 2022
Relevant Criteria and Standards. Mr. Fife stated the proposed items are not related to the speed limits.
He also stated the contractor does not have to agree to change the development agreement, as he
believes it’s unusual to request a change in the development agreement at this stage, and the items
need to be approved in the order for consistency of the process. Mr. Fife cautioned the council not to
impose engineering standards related to the traffic and BMPO (Bonneville Metropolitan Planning
Organization) designation alterations. Councilor Francis recognized the 25 MPH in the traffic study, he
believes there should be a traffic calming, and he is unsure which motion the amendment might best
apply. Per Councilor Francis, Mr. Fife stated the proposed development agreement has been signed by
the developer, noting any changes would require further negotiations with the developer as the
developer does not have to agree to the suggested changes. At the request of Mayor Casper, Bracken
Atkinson, representative of Wasatch Development Group and Apple Development, appeared. He stated
they leaned on the engineering and the expertise of the city staff on design and implementation of this
road and the intersection, and he believes they were meeting the request of the expertise of the city.
He is unsure what they could or could not do as people will travel as they wish. He is also unsure if
there is a definite way to accomplish the request in a short amount of time as related to the width and
distance. Per Councilor Francis, Mr. Atkinson stated he does not see anything out of the ordinary for a
typical street design, and he feels confident with the staff recommendation. Mayor Casper noted this
development had a more complex traffic study completed. Mr. Atkinson agreed, stating he believes the
three traffic studies came to same conclusion, and the developer compiled with all city requests. At the
request of Mayor Casper, City Engineer Kent Fugal appeared. Councilor Francis questioned if there are
ways to calm the traffic without creating an undue burden on the developer. Mr. Fugal stated the
roadway is classified as a major collector, which is the same as the current Jennie Lee roadway, and the
width is consistent in the Engineering Design Policy Manual for the major collector. He also stated the
roadway is designed to have a three-lane section consisting of a center turn-lane and one-way lanes
each way, and on-street parking is allowed, therefore, the through-traffic lanes are not as wide. Mr.
Fugal reiterated this roadway is designed per the standards for this application and staff is comfortable
that the road will function as intended. He stated the intent would be to post at 25 MPH which would
not change unless the study showed otherwise. He explained the pavement width as it applies to the
travel lanes, noting this roadway would not include bike lanes.
It was moved by Councilor Francis, seconded by Councilor Burtenshaw, to approve the Development
Agreement for the Final Plat for Wasatch Apple Subdivision and give authorization for the Mayor and
City Clerk to sign said agreement. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye - Councilors Hally,
Radford, Francis, Burtenshaw, Freeman. Nay - none.
It was moved by Councilor Francis, seconded by Councilor Burtenshaw, to accept the Final Plat for
Wasatch Apple Subdivision and give authorization for the Mayor, City Engineer, and City Clerk to sign
said Final Plat. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye - Councilors Francis, Freeman, Hally,
Radford, Burtenshaw. Nay - none.
Councilor Francis stated he would mostly likely vote no on the Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria
and Standards because he is not sure that the statement consistent with the principles of the
Comprehensive Plan is fully implemented.
It was moved by Councilor Burtenshaw, by Councilor Freeman, to approve the Reasoned Statement of
Relevant Criteria and Standards for the Final Plat for Wasatch Apple Subdivision and give authorization
for the Mayor to execute the necessary documents. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye -
Councilors Freeman, Hally, Radford, Burtenshaw. Nay - Councilor Francis.

along major roadways.
Slide 3 - Aerial photo of property under consideration
Slide 4 - Airport Overlay
Director Cramer stated there would be very few restrictions on development and any restrictions would
focus on the height.
Councilor Freeman questioned why the property does not follow the shape of road. Director Cramer
stated this property, which is a remainder piece, is different ownership than the shape of the road,
which is owned by ITD. Per Councilor Francis, Director Cramer confirmed the adjacent land has been
annexed, this is filling in a privately-owned county island.
Mayor Casper requested any public comment. She reiterated this annexation is straight-forward. No
