Airport 1) Approval of Terminal Renovation and Expansion Phase 3 Construction Documents and Additional Services Related to the Schematic Design and Design Development Phases. The Idaho Falls Regional Airport has experienced higher-than-expected passenger traffic and doubled the number of airlines since 2019. Airline space is nearly at capacity, and baggage screening is strained. Phase 3 of the terminal renovation will increase ticketing and airline office space, expand the baggage makeup area, provide additional holding space for passengers, and other improvements. Construction for Phase 3 is planned for Spring/Summer FY24, with design services costing $1,712,922.50, funded through FAA AIP Project #061. These expenditures are included in the Airport's FY24 budget. Interim Director Ron Elliot explained that the package commits to completing the terminal design and construction documents. So far, $16 million has been collected from design and construction management funds, grants, unused terminal funding, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with $6 million already in the bank. With the current $1.7 million, $3.4 million of the $6 million will be spent.  680 Park Avenue City Council Meeting Idaho Falls, ID 83402 Minutes Interim Director Elliot stated this brings completion of design and construction documents, noting that stopping after the design phase requires repayment of funds per FAA terms. He discussed the "off- ramp" if a financial plan for full construction isn't found. The FAA has committed up to $45 million in principle, and additional Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds could cover the rest. Elliot mentioned working with the Director of Municipal Services to develop a financial plan to present to the council, ensuring completion even if it requires taking out a loan and repaying it later. Councilor Francis asked if the money would need to be repaid if the design is finished, construction begins, and commitments are not fulfilled. Elliot explained that the FAA's terms require building what is designed for it to be a "usable unit of work." Interim Director Elliot addressed how the contract helps with long lead items. The contract funds bid documents to move forward with the bidding process. Long lead item costs will be determined in a future contract. Councilor Francis asked if the airport's capacity, including infrastructure, luggage check-in, ticketing, and other services, is being maxed out. Elliot agreed, noting that a 2021 study projected 300,000 passengers annually by 2040, but the airport is already reaching those numbers. Without improvements and expansions, the airport is on the brink of being overwhelmed. It was moved by Councilor Burtenshaw, seconded by Councilor Radford approve the terminal renovation and expansion phase 3 construction documents and additional services related to the Schematic design and design development phases. The motion was carried by the following vote: Aye – Councilors Burtenshaw, Larsen, Dingman, Radford, Freeman, Francis. Nay – None B. Municipal Services 1) IF-24-06 Main Line Materials for Public Works. The purchase will provide water line materials for Water Division projects. Director Alexander explained that the Public Works Department annually requests supplies to replenish inventory, with this bid issued for upcoming projects. Three vendors submitted prices, totaling $1,209,318.67. Councilor Freeman inquired about lead times compared to previous years. Director Alexander responded that lead times are standard, measured in weeks. It was moved by Council President Burtenshaw, seconded by Councilor Radford accept and approve the bids from the lowest responsive and responsible bidders by section to Ferguson Waterworks, HD Fowler, and Core & Mai for a total of $1,209,318.67. The motion was carried by the following vote: Aye – Councilors Dingman, Radford, Francis, Burtenshaw, Larsen, Freeman. Nay – None 2) City of Idaho Falls Elevator Addition. This project will construct a 4-stop elevator to ensure ADA access to the City Hall building. Currently, the only ADA access is limited to the utility billing customer service area on the west side.  680 Park Avenue City Council Meeting Idaho Falls, ID 83402 Minutes Resin Architecture, a local firm with historical preservation experience, was contracted for architectural professional services and served as the City’s owner’s representative for the construction bid package. The bidding opportunity was advertised from November 21 to November 28, 2023. Four bids were received, with a public opening on January 12, 2024. Director Alexander announced that the project is funded by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds totaling $1 million. Councilor Francis expressed satisfaction with the project's progress, noting it was initiated in 2018. Council President Burtenshaw emphasized the importance of providing ADA access to City Hall to ensure ease of navigation for everyone, including individuals with disabilities. It was moved by Councilor Dingman, seconded by Councilor Francis to approve the lowest responsive responsible bidder, Ormond Builders, Inc. for a total of $964,800.00. The motion was carried by the following vote: Aye – Councilors Radford, Freeman, Burtenshaw, Francis, Dingman, Larsen. Nay -None. C. Public Works 1) Holmes Avenue and John Adams Parkway Right-of-Way Plat Right-of-Way Plat for portions of Holmes Avenue and John Adams Parkway aims to define the intersection right-of-way for a federal aid improvement project. Director Fredericksen explained this is for a 2024 project to upgrade the traffic signal at the location, with an estimated cost of $700,000. Two required easements will be reviewed and approved by the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LTAC). Councilor Francis asked if this is an existing right-of-way being formally identified. Director Fredericksen confirmed and added that there are discussions to create a resolution allowing staff to execute such Plats, streamlining the process in the future. It was moved by Council President Burtenshaw, seconded by Councilor Francis to accept the Right-of- Way Plat for Holmes Avenue and John Adams Parkway and give authorization for the Mayor and city staff to sign the document. The motion was carried by the following vote: Aye – Councilors Larsen, Burtenshaw, Dingman, Freeman, Francis, Radford. Nay -None. 2) Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for Strategic Initiatives Grant with Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) for the Pancheri Bridge Project. A grant application was submitted for the Strategic Initiatives Grant Program with ITD for improvements to the Pancheri Bridge. The grant was selected for award providing $3,451,904.30 for the completion of project activities. The proposed project involves the replacement of a bridge girder, beam seats, and deck rehabilitation. Director Fredericksen stated that this funding requires no city match. He mentioned that they have struggled for some time to find funding for improvements on Pancheri. The current condition of the bridge does not require closure, so it doesn't qualify for a total replacement; it is more of a rehabilitation. He thanked the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) for this opportunity, as it provides much-needed funding to address a need on one of the city's busiest structures over the Snake River.  680 Park Avenue City Council Meeting Idaho Falls, ID 83402 Minutes If the MOU is approved, Public Works staff will immediately work to advertise the project for bid. Director Fredericksen also mentioned other projects associated with this one. They have this Strategic Initiatives Grant for nearly $3.5 million, which will address the deck, girders, and beam seats. Additionally, upon completion of this project, there is a proposed Transportation Alternatives Project to improve pedestrian safety on the bridge. The sidewalk on the south side lacks a barrier between pedestrians and vehicular traffic, and the north-side sidewalk is too narrow for proper use. With these two projects, Director Fredericksen expressed excitement about the improvements to the Pancheri Bridge. Councilor Dingman asked whether the bridge would be closed or reduced to one lane. Director Fredericksen explained that the plan is to complete all the work without direct closures. While there may be occasional issues requiring temporary traffic removal, the intent is to maintain access with fewer lanes. It was moved by Councilor Larsen, seconded by Councilor Burtenshaw to approve the MOU for the Pancheri Bridge Strategic Initiatives Grant with ITD and give authorization for the Public Works Director to execute the necessary documents The motion carried by the following vote: Aye – Councilors Burtenshaw, Larsen, Radford, Dingman, Freeman, Francis. Nay -None. D. Community Development Services 1) Final Plat, Development Agreement, and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards, Stone Creek Estates Division No. 4. Final Plat, Development Agreement, and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for Stone Creek Estates Division No. 4. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at its 15 February 2022 meeting and unanimously voted to recommend approval of the final plat to the Mayor and City Council. Work on-site design issues resulted in delays. The plat was taken back to the Planning and Zoning Commission on 7 February 2023 to be reviewed. At that time the Planning and Zoning Commission again voted unanimously to recommend approval of the extension to the Mayor and City Council as presented. Staff concurs with these recommendations. Councilor Francis stated that this is an 11.036-acre property, zoned R1, and is consistent with the comprehensive plan. All the appropriate departments and staff have reviewed it, and it is a straightforward plat. It was moved by Councilor Francis, seconded by Councilor Radford to approve the Development Agreement for the Final Plat for Stone Creek Estates Division No. 4 and give authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to sign said agreement. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye – Councilors Larsen, Radford, Francis, Dingman, Burtenshaw, Freeman, Nay - None.

Final Plat, Development Agreement, and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for Barnwood Estates Townhomes. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at its November 1, 2022, meeting and unanimously voted to recommend approval of the final plat to the Mayor and City Council as presented. Staff concurs with this recommendation. Councilor Francis mentioned that the Planned Unit Development (PUD) for this 9.663-acre area, which includes 30 lots (29 of which are buildable), has been approved and aligns with the comprehensive plan. All relevant departments and staff have given their approval for this plat. He also highlighted that the approval of the PUD included a requirement for two gateways into the Skyline High School fields. Councilor Francis stated that Assistant Director Beutler had confirmed that this requirement is part of the PUD, although it won't appear on this plat. The plat only shows the parcels of land where the actual building will take place. Nevertheless, the gates are still required under the PUD, despite not being shown in these documents. It was moved by Councilor Francis, seconded by Councilor Radford to approve the Development Agreement for the Final Plat for Barnwood Estates Townhomes and give authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to sign said agreement.

Application for the PUD and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for Falcon Crest Estates. On April 19, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the PUD with the condition that the developer install a fence along the existing properties along 5th E. Additional instruction was given to clarify the sufficiency of available parking when presenting to the Mayor and  680 Park Avenue City Council Meeting Idaho Falls, ID 83402 Minutes City Council. On December 5, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved an extension of the PUD. Staff concurs with Planning and Zoning’s recommendation. Mayor Casper declared the hearing to be open and ordered that all testimony and materials presented be part of the official record. Applicant: Gilmore Jenkins, Harper Levitt Engineering 101 Sout Park Ave Idaho Falls, ID. Mr. Jenkins presented the Planned Unit Development (PUD) located north of town on 5th East and south of Teton View Estates at 65th North and 5th East. The 19.5-acre R3-zoned development will include 260 units (13 units per acre) and 29.6% landscaped areas, surpassing the 25% requirement. Amenities include park benches, a half-court basketball court, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits, swing sets, and a pavilion. Public and private streets will be included, with Slyter Road connecting north-south and Condor Lane providing primary access from the east. Each unit will have two parking spaces (one garage and one outside), with a requested variance for stacked parking. Driveways will meet city requirements (at least 20 feet long). Eighteen additional unassigned parking spaces will be available. A variance to reduce the minimum rear yard setback to 10 feet for each lot is also requested. An existing irrigation ditch will be maintained with culverts and headwalls. Councilor Francis inquired about the pathway and enforcement of the no on-street parking rule. Mr. Jenkins explained that pathways are short but will be extended with an 11-foot pathway on the west side, including benches. Signs will be posted to enforce no on-street parking, but enforcement responsibility is unclear. The north side setback was confirmed as 12 feet in one section and 13 feet in another. Councilor Radford inquired about future connectivity for walkability. Mr. Jenkins responded that there will be 5-foot-wide sidewalks on both sides of all streets, connecting to the north of Teton View Estates. Councilor Freeman asked about the 10-foot setback variance. Mr. Jenkins explained it applies to backyards between townhome units and blocks, with buildings set 20 feet apart, creating a 10-foot property line. Councilor President Burtenshaw confirmed the variance applies internally and externally. Councilor Dingman noted public rights-of-way having on-street parking, while Mr. Jenkins clarified that private streets wouldn't. Public parking will be on Condor Lane and Slyter, with Condor Lane becoming the private Magnolia Loop at the intersection line. Staff Report: Assistant Director Kerry Beutler from Community Development Services shared information on the property's zoning. The property is zoned R3, while the northeast part of town includes various zoning designations such as R1 and Limited Commercial (LC). Across 5th East, the zoning is mixed (R3, R2, R3A, and LC), reflecting a newly developing area with a diverse mix of zoning. Mr. Beutler noted that the County parcels adjacent to 5th East with the Idaho Canal on the west side. Pathway systems typically align with the community's connectivity plan, but no pathways are planned for this canal segment. To the north, Teton View Estates has transitioned from single-unit to townhome dwellings, resulting in smaller lot sizes. Public streets in this area lack sufficient spacing for two access points on 5th East, making connectivity to the northern subdivision crucial. A stub road to the south is provided for future development.  680 Park Avenue City Council Meeting Idaho Falls, ID 83402 Minutes Proposed units will be two-story residential homes, including duplex units and townhomes with single or two-car garages. Mr. Beutler highlighted that the development includes amenities that meet code requirements at the time the application was submitted, despite recent code changes. The development requires a buffer of evergreen trees spaced 20 feet apart along the north side and the perimeter adjacent to large lot homes on the east and south sides. Councilor Larsen inquired about the maintenance of the Strom Pond Recreation area. Mr. Beutler explained that common ownership and maintenance are required by ordinance, with the developer having flexibility in arranging this contractually between owners. Mayor Casper requested public testimony regarding the PUD, but no one appeared. Mr. Jenkins clarified that the only property line without a required fence is adjacent to the canal. He explained that the project's three phases are related to fire code requirements, with the first phase limited to 30 units due to a single access point onto 5th East until Teton View Estates is completed. All infrastructure will be part of phase one. Rod Morrelly, Developer, clarified enforcement questions, stating that parking on the private street will be enforced by the HOA. The plan includes a high-quality playground set, and benches along the walkway as per city code. He expressed willingness to add more benches if necessary. Mayor Casper closed the hearing and asked the Council members to deliberate. Council President Burtenshaw noted that the developer is proposing only 14 units per acre, significantly less than the 35 units per acre allowed by R3 zoning. She expressed concern about the 12-foot setback but confirmed with Mr. Beutler that Teton View Estates has smaller lots backing up against this development. She believes the landscaping minimums and parking requirements justify her support for the variance request. Councilor Francis shared the concern about the narrow setback and suggested an 8-foot fence instead of 6 feet. Councilor Dingman agreed. Councilor Freeman pointed out that the 30-foot setback exists for a reason and expressed concern that tight streets could prevent fire truck access, leading him to oppose the PUD. Councilor Radford stated that the Fire Department has approved the project, confirming it meets the requirements. He supports the project's affordable housing benefits for the community and hopes walkability will be maintained. Although not overly concerned about setbacks and privacy, he acknowledges that some people have these concerns. It was moved by Councilor Francis, seconded by Councilor Dingman to approve the Planned Unit Development for Falcon Crest Estates as amended to include the requirement of an 8-foot opaque fence around the property line as presented. The motion was carried by the following vote: Aye – Councilors Larson, Francis, Dingman, Burtenshaw. Nay – Councilors Radford, Freeman.  680 Park Avenue City Council Meeting Idaho Falls, ID 83402 Minutes It was moved by Councilor Francis, seconded by Councilor Burtenshaw to approve the Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for the Planned Unit Development for Falcon Crest Estates. With the additional statement that an 8-foot opaque fence be required as an adjustment for the 10-foot setback variance and give authorization for the Mayor to execute the necessary documents. The motion was carried by the following vote: Aye – Councilors Burtenshaw, Francis, Dingman, Larsen. Nay – Councilors Freeman, Radford. 4) Final Plat, Development Agreement, and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards, Falcon Crest Estates. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the Final Plat, Development Agreement, and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for Falcon Crest Estates at its 2 August 2022 meeting and unanimously recommended approval to the Mayor and City Council. The Commission approved an extension of the final plat on 5 December 2023. Staff concurs with this recommendation. Council President Burtenshaw asked Assistant Director Beutler if the developer for the final plat wants to proceed despite the change to the PUD fence height. Mr. Beutler confirmed that the fence height adjustment will be handled separately within the PUD and that the developer wishes to proceed with the final plat. Councilor Francis noted that the record occasionally references the zoning as R3A, but it is zoned R3, as stated in the Reason Statement. It was moved by Councilor Burtenshaw, seconded by Councilor Francis to approve the Development Agreement for the Final Plat for Falcon Crest Estates and give authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to sign said agreement. The motion was carried by the following vote: Aye – Councilors Freeman, Francis, Larsen, Radford, Burtenshaw, Dingman. Nay - None. It was moved by Councilor Burtenshaw, seconded by Councilor Francis to accept or approve the Final Plat for Falcon Crest Estates and give authorization for the Mayor, City Engineer, and City Clerk to sign said Final Plat. The motion was carried by the following vote: Aye – Councilors Dingman, Radford, Francis, Burtenshaw, Larsen, Freeman. Nay - None.

Nay - None. 5) Legislative Public Hearing-Part 1 of 2 of the Annexation and Initial Zoning-Annexation Ordinance and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for .258 acres in the SE ¼ of Section 23, Township 2 North, Range 37 East. Annexation and Initial Zoning of CC, Central Commercial with the Controlled Development Airport Overlay Zone which includes the Annexation Ordinance and Reasoned Statement of Relevant Criteria and Standards for .258 acres in the SE ¼ of Section 23, Township 2 North, Range 37 East. The Planning  680 Park Avenue City Council Meeting Idaho Falls, ID 83402 Minutes and Zoning Commission considered this item at its November 14, 2023, meeting and unanimously voted to recommend approval of the annexation with initial zoning of CC. Council President Burtenshaw recused herself from this agenda item and moved to the audience. Mayor Casper opened the hearing and invited all items presented to become part of the official record. Assistant Director Kerry Beutler appeared, stating that the applicant was out of town and not present tonight. Mr. Beutler provided details about the property, which is .258 acres adjacent to Pioneer Road. The existing zoning is central commercial, specifically a mixed-use corridor. He explained that this annexation intends to allow the developer to widen Pioneer Road and meet the minimum standards for Right-of-Way development. As the property was annexed, the existing Right-of- Way that the county had for Pioneer Road was also annexed. Due to county roads typically being narrower than city roads, there was not enough Right-of-Way to allow for the road's expansion. On the east side of the property, the developer worked with the property owner to the west and reached an agreement on the annexation of this property. The zoning to be applied would be central commercial, aligning with the adjacent zoning. Additionally, this would include the controlled development airport overlay zone. The applicant has been collaborating with Public Works on the design of the Right-of-Way, which explains the odd shape of the property. The planning commission, along with staff, has recommended approval. Mayor Casper requested any public testimony inviting any members of the public that would like to speak. Nobody appeared. It was moved by Councilor Larsen, seconded by Councilor Francis to approve the Ordinance annexing .258 acres in the SE ¼ of Section 23, Township 2 North, Range 37 East, assign a Comprehensive Plan Designation of "Mixed-Use Center and Corridors", and under a suspension of the rules requiring three complete and separate readings, request that it be read by title and published by summary.

Idaho Falls Power (IFP) solicited bids for switchgear for the York Substation upgrade. Of the nine bids received, only two met the required specifications, with Royal Switchgear being the lowest responsive bidder. GM Prairie noted an error in the original bid tabulation, where the Royal Switchgear cost should have been listed as $7,580 per switch instead of $1,240.
