Holm reported the following: • P. Holm answered commissioner questions regarding the director’s report he e-mail out prior to the meeting. Commission Reports Golf Advisory – T. Hersh (absent) Shade Tree - M. Hill M. Hill reported the following: • The Shade Tree Committee still needs two more members to reach a quorum. • Matt’s daughter was appointed to the committee. She became the youngest member ever at age sixteen. • There is speculation that the emerald ash borer might not be migrating this direction as previously thought, which is good news. • Lee Washburn is working on the Forestry Plan and has recommended some changes to the City’s Tree Ordinance. Bonneville County – J. Walker J. Walker reported the following: • The recent rise in temperatures have melted the two hundred miles of groomed trails. • The water level is looking good, but it will ultimately depend on next month’s precipitation.  • He discussed the cloud seeding procedures that have been done in the state. It is an expensive process, but the results are worth the cost. School District 91 – N. Birch N. Birch reported the following: • The basketball season is winding down and the tournament begins Feb 4th. • The wrestling meets begin Thursday, Feb. 6th. School District 93 – T. Hobson T. Hobson reported the following: • The basketball tournaments are starting. • District 93 will be hosting girls wrestling. Girls wrestling is the fastest growing sport in the nation. • There will be forty-four events held in their gyms in the next twenty-seven days. • The state awarded them another year to host the ISHAA state volleyball tournament. National Trends on Aging – C. White C. White reported the following: He gave a twenty-minute presentation on E-Bikes which highlighted the following: • The history of e-bikes. • The benefits of e-bikes, i.e., riders can cover longer distances and go uphill with less effort. They are also helpful for those with mobility issues, etc. • Types of e-bikes, prices, and the different bike components. • The global market. Sports Tourism – B. Combo No updates. Park Conditions and Needs – B. Nitschke B. Nitschke reported the following observations along with select photos he took during his park visits: • He skied all three city golf courses several times. The Parks & Recreation Department staff have done a nice job laying out the routes, providing sufficient length (miles) and providing opportunities for both classic and skate skiing. He met a Ski Patroller (Sal Mascarenas) at the Sage Lakes course. He said the local Nordic ski patrol was so excited about having skiing opportunities in Idaho Falls they are providing a presence at the City's ski areas. They can provide medical and instructional assistance as needed. Sadly, he said a ski patroller at Tautphaus Park got bitten by a dog! B. Nitschke saw a patroller at Pinecrest as well. He also reported that everyone he’s talked to has been very happy that there are skiing opportunities in the city. B. Nitschke made the following suggestions regarding cross country skiing:  1) Send out announcements to the public that these skiing opportunities are available. 2) Have a trail map at all courses. Pinecrest has a nice one showing the loops and the distances. 3) Have a sign with course etiquette at all courses. Pinecrest has a good one. 4) Have signs showing the start and end of the trails at all courses. Pinecrest has a good example. 5) Have a dog policy posted. The Pinecrest etiquette sign does say that dogs are allowed but must be on a leash or under voice control which every dog owner will say they have even when the dog is running wild. I think the city needs to think about whether they really want to turn the ski areas into dog parks especially since there were seven piles of dog feces on the groomed trails at Sand Creek last Friday. 6) He would recommend a second set of Nordic tracks to allow people to pass going different directions without having to get into the skating lane. 7) He would recommend the groomer look at the trails near the evergreens and see where they need/could be shifted some. The snow near an evergreen is typically thin and there is arboreal detritus that contaminates the track. People cannot ski over a pinecone. He shared photos of the bare spots that were on the cart path which is not good for skis. 8) One Sunday the Sand Creek Course gates were closed. He asked about it and was told someone must have forgotten. Parks and Recreation needs to remedy this. 9) A pickup truck messed up a good portion of the trail at Sage Lakes. The truck accessed the trail by the maintenance road, and he is not sure why the road is not blocked off. • B. Nitschke noted that since he previously suggested that Parks and Recreation block off the northwest entrance of Reinhart Park, which hasn’t been done, that someone has since drove their truck across the park. Another reminder of why this section of the park needs barricaded. • He finished his report on the lion incident entitled Idaho Falls Zoo - None Dare Call it Safe! It is in stark contrast to the report the zoo prepared. He has distributed it to the City Council, the Mayor and the Parks & Recreation Director. He would be happy to brief the Commission next month on the report. Adjournment at 1:45 pm. Next meeting – March 3rd, 2025 Recorded by: Tracy Sessions, Executive Assistant, Parks & Recreation Assistant, Parks & Recreation  WAR BONNET ROUND UP RODEO ADVISORY COMMITTEE Thursday, January 23rd, 2025 Recreation Center 11:00 a.m. Members in Attendance: K.

We still have room for a specialty act in addition to Johnny’s act if we want. Committee Reports Tribal Relations – S. Woolstenhulme (absent) Military Affairs/American Legion – B. Skinner B.

Vice Chair/Hospitality/Sponsorship – K. Staten K. Staten reported on the following: • K. Staten asked committee member’s opinions on whether to get rid of the Coors tent and put in bleachers, or make the Coors tent a VIP experience. She asked that members bring any tent ideas to her at the next meeting. • The “watch party” was a success and it will be held again next year. • She reported on the Wilderness Circuit Finals that were well attended. Krisi and Kassi handed out buckles in the arena at the event and attended the Saturday morning meeting. Contestants from each area attended the meeting and talked about things that improve rodeos for the contestants. Ideas included places for contestants to keep their horse, more family events, slack order to contestants before the rodeo, increasing the experience for contestants, more trash cans near the contestant area, etc. Following group discussion, it was suggested that maybe we should have someone welcome the contestants as the come into the entrance of the contestant area and hand out maps of the facilities and list of area amenities. K. Staten advised that she will be working with our local 4H group to work on trailer cleanouts for our contestants. • K. Staten discussed the PRCA rodeo 101 program and ideas to sell the rodeo experience to the fans.  • The rodeo theme for Thursday night was discussed. Thursday will be First Responder’s Night. She hopes to get first responders to interact with young people at the rodeo. It was suggested we could have the first responder’s lead the kids into the arena for Mutton Busting, and perhaps have a dunk tank with a sheriff’s deputy or officer. • K. Staten is working with Domestic Violence Awareness and the Boot Barn on holding a scavenger hunt at the rodeo. Boot barn has offered to donate a pair of boots to a winner per night. • K. Staten is getting prices on a larger sized wrapped cup for Wednesday night. We will give out cups to the first 1000 attendees. P. Holm suggested we purchase some less expensive cups with the War Bonnet logo for the Civitan Club to use at the Kickoff. • The War Bonnet Association will be holding the royalty queen clinic again this year. They are looking for a bigger venue to hold it in. • The association will not be doing a rodeo social this year. • Our rodeo queen just competed in Oklahoma for Miss Rodeo USA. • The IDA Gold Series purse will remain at $28,000 dollars.

Update: Calendar reminder created. • Bryan/Kerry – Schedule a meeting with Caitlin Long and Wade Sanner in Community Development Services to discuss digital signs. Topics Discussed: • Chip: Review and approve the meeting minutes from December 10, 2024. Approved and seconded. No opposed. • Brandi: Financial Review o Assets vs. liability review. o Holding on to cash to make sure we're set up for savings. o Proft & Loss - QuickBooks shows the entire year of budget vs. monthly budget when we are active. How will we know if we are performing to the budget if we are performing for the entire year? o There is one major omission in the budget. The city has not paid for their support of Park IF yet. Bryan made a phone call last night to check on the status of that payment. The Board suggested invoicing the city at the beginning of the fiscal year next year rather than waiting until January. This will expedite the payment process. Kerry will add this reminder to her Outlook calendar. IFDDC will be performing a head of the goal if you factor in the money owed by the city for the Park IF agreement. o Financials approved and seconded. No opposed. • Bryan: IFDDC Staffing  o Lacey Marie joined us as the new part-time 1099 subcontractor who will be focused on event planning and logistics, communications, and marketing. She has been pulling permits, working on street closures, and communicating with Bryan and downtown merchants about the upcoming Winter Brew. The merchants welcomed the face-to-face interaction and appreciated their feedback being considered during the event planning phase. Bryan and Kerry will assist with event tasks as well. • Bryan: Parking Report o Two Parking Committee meetings have been conducted since the beginning of the year, and we’re making good progress. We are currently in the exploration phase, building budgets, operations, and communication plans. o Jake - The direction of Idaho Falls City Council is to create a more detailed plan for the new pay-to-park plan, to include details about the budget, signage, operations, and communications. We will be collaborating with Idaho Falls Public Works Director Chris Fredericksen on signage and other parking topics. o Greg – There are empty parking spaces in the lots. Why are they not rented? Kerry has been cleaning up the parking lot spreadsheets since she started and has found some free spots. She will continue to clean up the spreadsheets and eventually move the data to the new parking software and/or QuickBooks to make management and tracking more accurate and efficient. • Bryan: Skating Rink Report o We were able to get the skating rink torn down. IF Parks & Rec provided us with space at Sandy Downs to store the shed while not in use. • Bryan: Events o Earth Day - We will take full advantage of Earth Day by planning a clean-up day on the weekend rather than the actual day, which is a Tuesday. By holding it on a Saturday we should get more of a response, and the optics are good for downtown as we have more shoppers who are witnessing the efforts being made to clean up our alleyways and our downtown. We need a lot more supervision and adult participation. We will ask the volunteers to bring their own supplies. • Bryan: Major Projects o One of the projects that we had in mind was to help the Civitans with relocating and keeping Alive After 5 in the downtown. AA5 will be moved to the Riverwalk on Memorial Drive near the roundabout beginning this spring. There will be a beer garden (21+) area. Electrical improvements have been made. The foot traffic will likely kill the grass, but we are watching to see what happens this year before we work with the Idaho Falls Civitan Club do any major construction/improvements where needed. We are curious to see how the move will impact downtown businesses. o We also talked about installing new electronic directories, as well as a new electronic reader board downtown. We need Community Development Services’ help on this project to ensure that we are staying within the sign code and/or  following processes to propose changes to the existing sign code so that it allows for more digital signage. Although digital signs cost more initially, we can make up for that by selling sponsorships. We will also save staff time by having digital signs that can be easily updated. Kerry/Bryan will schedule a meeting with Community Development services. The meeting attendees will include Brandi, Bryan, Kerry, Catilin and Matt. o Bryan: Events ▪ Winter Brew is Feb 22 at the Broadway Plaza. Event planning is going well. ▪ St. Paddy’s on Park- There were issues with alcohol sales on the streets going into establishments and vice versa. Bryan and Lacey met with most of the bar/restaurant owners on Park Avenue to discuss the event. According to the City Clerk’s office, the restaurant/bar owners are allowed to pull a catering permit and piggyback off IFDDC’s alcohol permit. The feedback from the bars regarding this change has been very positive. The restaurants/bars and IFDDC staff will check IDs and give wristbands. IFDDC will sell a little bit of beer, but not as much as years prior. This will allow the restaurants/bars to make the profit on alcohol. We will make up the margin by selling swag, such as hoodies, hats, gloves, and items that light up. The sponsors will like this approach as their logos will be on the merchandise. The Samoa Club, Smokin's Fins, the House, and Blackrock have all verbally offered to sponsor $500 each. o Brandi: September 13 with be their Street Party. They are also planning a New Years Eve event, with the Arts Council being the anchor event to encourage people to stay downtown to celebrate the New Year. Jake has a business that would be interested in dropping the ball, but we need multiple sponsors to make this happen. o Chip: Vandalism and Graffiti ▪ Chip recently captured 40 pictures of downtown graffiti. He met with IFPD Officer Merrill last week to get advice on what to do about the graffiti. Officer Merrill said the best thing you can do is to remove it as quickly as possible. He also advised us to get as much proof as possible. The primary offender always wears a mask and has been seen walking downtown. We must be more proactive by reporting the graffiti to Officer Merrill, removing it immediately, and getting as much information/photos/videos as we possibly can to build a case and identify the individual(s). There is about $1000 in damage to the Sage Insurance building. Perhaps they can get a bid on the cost of repairs to add that information needed to build a case. ▪ Greg – One of the graffiti targets are the trash containers. We've had ongoing discussions with Public Works for options. We are a long way out on a paint job for our downtown trash containers. Jake has had good luck asking the Sanitation Division to trade out the trash containers. Perhaps we should get on their trade out schedule? Can the color change to green instead of  yellow? Now that downtown businesses will be paying for their own containers, maybe now is the time that we make changes like the container colors and/or getting containers that have locking lids. ▪ Caitlin: The city's code enforcement office is sending out letters to property owners about graffiti and giving them direction on working together to combat vandalism. ▪ Bryan talked to some probation officers who suggested taking a picture of the graffiti and then having the probation officers look at the photos to see if they recognized the graffiti that could lead to identifying the individual. ▪ Lisa: Block Grant - operating in 2023/2024 just over $70k. ▪ Carmel Tree left downtown and there is a new tattoo tenant moving into that location. They are working with this new tenant and Century 21 High Desert on façade improvements. Shaddow Domain is relocating from Broadway to 1st Street near The Gem. ▪ Caitlin suggested using the POP (Public Outreach Planning) tool to assist with pay-to-park communication. Kerry has worked with this tool as well and will reach out to the city to run the plan through POP. ▪ The city has a new building official, Cody Gordon, who was recently promoted to that position. ▪ Greg: One of our priorities should be filling vacancies, such as the Wells Fargo and former Idahoan buildings. Kevin stated that office activity is very low right now and some property owners are charging more than the smaller business owners can afford. The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 a.m. Our next board meeting will be March 11, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. at the Willard Arts Center. Reviewed & approved by Bryan Chaffin and Board of Directors. Respectfully submitted by Kerry Hammon, IFDDC Operations Manager  APPROVED 02.13.24 1/9/25 SISTER CITIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES The January 9, 2025 Sister Cities Advisory Committee meeting was held in Room 310A of Building 3 at College of Eastern Idaho (1600 S 25th E, Idaho Falls, ID 83404) and via Zoom. ACTION ITEMS​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5:38 PM ●​ Roll Call and Confirmation of Quorum ○​ In attendance: Chloe Doucette, Amanda Logan, Laura Combs, Sunny Katseanes, Catherine Smith, Cindy Ozaki, Julie McMurtrey, Lisa Armstrong ○​ Absent: Caroline Combs, Jake Durtschi, Jeremy Crook ■​ Jeremy will be removed from the committee due to lack of participation and Caroline Combs will be added as the new Youth Association Youth President. ●​ Approval of December 12, 2024 Meeting Minutes ●​ Cindy and Laura noted several errors/typos/name misspellings to be corrected in the meeting minutes. ○​ Laura moved to approve the amended December 12, 2024 minutes; Sunny seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. ●​ Approval of Reimbursements ○​ No reimbursements submitted.​ DISCUSSION ITEMS​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5:45PM* ●​ Review of Idaho Falls Sister Cities Advisory Committee CIty Code ○​ Refer specifically to “Goals”- item 2-8-3B. ○​ Catherine shared that the City is pleased with the work that is being done. Laura and Cindy agreed that the support of the Committee has been helpful. ○​ We could grow our “school to school” work. Lisa suggested that we look at the model of the “Smithsonian Club”. Teachers are required to do some training to participate in that. Perhaps we could pull from that program and then approach Tokai-mura. ■​ Perhaps we could narrow the grant opportunities so that we could give them more of a framework. We could use something like flipgrid or we could have more of an email or letter writing campaign. ■​ We should look into a bigger program. Maybe we could see if we could pay a teacher to develop the framework for this so that all of the tech tools and question prompts were developed to connect the cities. ■​ It would be good to do the program school to school as opposed to just classroom to classroom. ●​ Lisa will talk to their council at the district office to make sure we have the right process planned, but Lisa has a teacher who may be interested. ●​ Advisory Committee 2025 Goals ○​ Sign, expanding the exhibit at the library, perhaps revisiting engaging with other cultural institutions like the Art Museum and Arts Council.  APPROVED 02.13.24 ○​ Continue our processes that we have established for oversight of the money ○​ Spend more of our time focusing on the other goals with special emphasis on the youth connections. ○​ Continuing with enhancing engagement with the community (event booths, but let's explore other ideas too). ■​ Perhaps we could use funds to advertise at events held by the Arts Council and/or Symphony. ■​ Perhaps we could also expand to homeschool co-ops. ■​ CEI has a Unity Committee that has tried to branch out with different cultural celebrations, etc. If there was something tied to Japanese culture, then there could be space for that at CEI. Lori and Carrie (symphony) have suggested a speaker series that will start this year and maybe there is some connection there. ■​ Perhaps we could develop a Google form which could gather emails so that the committees could reach out to those with interest. ■​ Best recruitment time for the youth is early fall (after the kids get back from the visit). Maybe we could look at creating some kind of membership drive. ■​ Perhaps we could look at having the associations enter a parade float. Laura and Cindy will start that conversation. It is hard for the kids to do a lot more in the summer because it is right before their visit. Cindy will ask the adults if any of the groups might be willing to do that. ●​ Updates from City ○​ No updates. ●​ Report from Sister Cities Adult Association ○​ No updates. ●​ Report from Sister Cities Youth Association ○​ Very low turnout at the Winter Carnival. Some kind of mix up with the rink because the rink widely advertised that they were closed. Only made about $500. They will recap that as a group next Monday. They may not continue this partnership in the future. ○​ The new boards (both the adults and the youth within the youth association) have been formed and they will be meeting at the end of the month. They should be able to invite all the kids that want to go on the trip (about 15 are interested). ●​ Community Outreach ○​ Social Media, Traditional Media, Websites ■​ Chloe doesn’t have the login for the website to update it ●​ Amanda doesn’t have the bylaws for the Adult Association yet either ■​ We should find out a better way to communicate when the meetings for the Youth and Adult associations are so people from the community can attend. ●​ If everyone can take a look at the IFSCAC page on the City’s website then we can make edits.  APPROVED 02.13.24 ○​ Local Educator Grants​ ■​ It is out there. Some interest from a drama teacher at Taylorview. ■​ Chloe will share in the Museum Educator newsletter and in the Bring Idaho Alive course that the Museum of Idaho is hosting. ○​ Booths at Community Events ■​ Change this agenda item to “Presence in Community” ■​ Put together a calendar of what events it might make sense to be at in 2025. ●​ IFHS wil have a cultural celebration week and maybe Lisa could run a booth during lunch (if we have interest cards/QR codes by then, that would be great) ○​ Friendship Garden Sign ■​ Catherine suggested that we send out PJ’s edits to the whole committee. ■​ Please see PJ’s suggested edits in the meeting folder. ○​ Museum Exhibits ■​ Day of Remembrance event at MOI in partnership with JACL, NPS, and Friends of Minidoka on Feb. 13. ■​ ISU Film Series- Visions of America- Feb. 20. Chloe will ask Cal Ozaki if he wants to be a panelist along with a member of JACL (Lora King is already interested). ○​ Potential Additional Library Signage ■​ Chloe will send an email to Jes Carter and connect Laura with her to take it from there. ○​ Sponsorships from and Involvement with Local Businesses ■​ Tabled until next meeting. ○​ Continue to think about a 4th of July float, Spud Kings games, etc. ●​ New Business ○​ Marsha McDaniel with INL has coordinated everything with the trade delegation. INL comms group needs additional information from her about the INL tie in so that they can get those articles done. ■​ Some ideas: INL nominated Mayor Yamada for the Valued Partner Award. Sunny will plan to work with Todd Combs to interview him about the mission connection between the INL and the visit. Sunny may also need some help from the City on getting their side of the story. Whatever Catherine/ Laura/ Amanda could send to Sunny, that would help. ●​ Date and Agenda Items for Next Meeting ○​ Feb. 13, but tentative change of location and/ or time. ■​ Chloe will get the official time for the Feb. 13 Day of Remembrance from Lora King and we may move our meeting to accommodate the committee attending. If it is happening at the exact same time, then we could look at rescheduling the meeting on the 13th. ADJOURNMENT​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 6:49 PM
