Pledge of Allegiance Councilor Dingman led those present in the Pledge of Allegiance. 3. Public Comment Charles Park - resident: Thanked the Council and Mayor for their service to the City. Joshua Pixton - resident; He spoke on behalf of concerned community members about a new “privacy fence’’ recently installed along the south side of Edgemont Elementary’s property. The fence, which features advertising banners, blocks neighborhood views of the school grounds and creates what residents describe as an eyesore that disrupts the area’s aesthetic. He explained that while the school installed the fence to raise money for a new playground, many residents believe it has negative consequences, including: ● Obstructing visibility that previously allowed neighbors to monitor the school grounds after hours, potentially inviting criminal activity such as drug use or vandalism. ● Creating a perception of danger in the neighborhood by signaling that the area is unsafe. ● Reducing community oversight, even though only one incident of suspicious behavior was reported at the school in the past year. Pixton said he had spoken with the school’s principal, who showed no interest in modifying the fence, and with the school resource officer, who confirmed the low number of past incidents. He asked the City Council to help facilitate a solution with the school district. In response, the Mayor acknowledged that the issue is outside direct City control but asked a City staff member, Margaret Wimborne (a former school district employee), to meet with Pixton to offer guidance and possible next steps. 4.

Key Points: ● The contract amount is based on a "rough order of estimate” used during early project phases. ● The work includes fabrication and installation of signage and a large artistic ceiling light fixture as part of the expanded lobby. ● Two firms submitted bids; an evaluation team—including project architects, Frontier Center management. Director Alexander, and a Civic Foundation member—unanimously recommended Graphics Image MFG. ● The expansion will improve ADA accessibility and provide shelter for patrons during cold weather events. ● The signage estimate originally discussed in June was about $300,000, so the actual proposed cost is below projections. ● Project funding update: o Frontier Credit Union: $4.4 million donation over five years, o Overall donations of $6.3m: Covers 87% of the constructioncost. Donations include $900,000 in ARPA funds, o CFIC Foundation: $500,000 grant {fully received), o Capital Campaign: Nearly $500,000 on hand, expected to reach $616,000 by 2029. ● Director Alexander emphasized the strong community and private donor support, noting the project’s success as a public-private partnership. Council Comments: ● Councilor Burtenshaw: Praised the progress and said the expansion closely matches the original artistic renderings. Highlighted that the lighting feature—described as hundreds of hanging tubes—will be a major visual centerpiece. Expressed excitement for the grand opening and gratitude to City staff and donors. ● Councilor Francis: Called the Frontier Center an iconic community space, noting its transformation reflects 22nd-century design. He emphasized the importance of beauty and inspiration in arts facilities and celebrated that most funding comes from private donations, not taxpayers. ● He also recognized the broad collaboration between City staff. Council members, and community donors in bringing the project forward. ● The grand opening is expected around February or March of next year. 3  City Council Meeting 680 Park Avenue I DAHO Minutes Idaho Falls, ID FALLS Motion: Approve the Frontier Center Lobby Expansion signage contract to Graphics MFG for a not-to-exceed amount of $256,250 o Moved by; Council President Burtenshaw o Second: Councilor Larsen o Vote: Aye; Burtenshaw, Dingman, Francis, Freeman, Larsen.

PUBLIC WORKS 1. 25-401 Change Order 1 with Iron Horse Trucking for Wastewater Sludge Hauling Presentation/Discussion (Assistant Director Canfield): ● The sludge is a byproduct of wastewater treatment and is transported to agricultural fields for beneficial reuse under regulatory oversight. ● The original contract with Iron Horse Trucking was for $243,000; the change order expands the contract to allow additional hauling this fall while fields remain available. ● The expansion supports a major goal; reducing materia! in the old sludge pond, part of ongoing work to decommission aging infrastructure at the plant. ● The dewatering project—which dries sludge for easier handling—has just completed its seven-day operational test and is now functional. ● Removing as much sludge as possible before winter helps optimize operations and prepare for future improvements at the facility. Council and Liaison Comments: ● Councilors confirmed the seasonal timing—hauling occurs in spring and fall before winter conditions limit field access. ● Liaisons noted that dewatering improves efficiency, making disposal cheaper, cleaner, and easier than managing raw sludge. ● Canfield clarified that biosolids are only applied to non-food crop fields (e.g., alfalfa and animal feed crops) and are strictly regulated and monitored to ensure environmental safety. Motion: Approve the Change Order for a net increase of $243,750 and authorize the Mayor to sign the necessary documents o Moved by: Councilor Larsen o Second; Councilor Francis o Vote: Aye: Burtenshaw, Dingman, Francis, Freeman, Larsen, Radford.

Presentation/Discussion (Director Sanner): ● Background & Purpose: o The property owner of a salvage yard near the City sought annexation. Current City code does not address salvage yards, so annexation could create legal nonconformance issues, o Staff evaluated the request and proposed allowing salvage yards as a permitted use in the l&M zone, with specific zoning standards to mitigate nuisance and environmental impact. ● Land Use & Regulation: o Proposed regulations include screening, stacking height limits, and separation from residential areas or sensitive locations like near rivers, o Definition of a salvage yard will be added to the zoning code, o Environmental compliance is handled primarily by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), with City oversight limited to land use and nuisance mitigation, o Impermeable surfaces are required only in designated vehicle/chemical processing areas (crushing/deconstruction), not the entire site. ● Environmental & Safety Considerations: 10  City Council Meeting 680 Park Avenue I DAHO Minutes Idaho Falls, ID FALLS o Buffers from waterways: Council debated the appropriate distance from rivers/canais. 750 ft was proposed, with flexibility to adjust for overlay zones or explicitly prohibit yards adjacent to waterways, o Tire storage; Concerns were raised about fire risk and environmental impact. Fire Code provisions regulate tire storage, and the business model suggests long-term accumulation is unlikely. ● Council Discussion & Decision Points: o Staff and Council emphasized balancing environmental protection, fire safety, and practical business operations, o Councilors suggested refining language and measurements in the code to ensure clarity and enforceability, o The proposal also accounts for property owner rights while maintaining public safety and environmental safeguards. ● Additional Context: o The proposed use aligns with City goals, including protection of the Snake River and managing industrial growth, o Research included review of other Idaho cities’ codes and industry best practices. Motion: Table this amendment until the next City Council meeting so that Council concerns, as expressed in the meeting, can be addressed by staff, o Moved by: Councilor Radford o Second: Councilor Larsen o Vote: Aye; Burtenshaw, Dingman, Francis, Freeman, Larsen, Radford. Nay; none o Motion carries. 5. 25-399 Amendment to Title 11, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, Sections 11-2-6 Standards for Allowed Land Uses; and 11-7-1, Definitions related to pet grooming; and 11-4-4, Landscaping, Buffers, and Screening related to the placement and screening of refuse and recycling containers. Presentation/Discussion (Director Sanner): 1. Definitions Update {Personal Services & Animal Care); o Animal Grooming: Current code ties grooming to boarding, which is a more intensive, noisy use. Staff proposed separating grooming (less intensive, akin to a human hair salon) from boarding to allow grooming-only businesses. o Personal Services: Definitions were clarified to include businesses like gyms, health centers, and other services that may not clearly fit under current code, making it easier for business owners to locate in commercial zones. o Purpose: Simplify the permitting process and reduce restrictions for business owners without compromising safety or zoning integrity. 11  City Council Meeting 680 Park Avenue I DAHO Minutes Idaho Falls, ID FALLS 2. Trash Enclosure Updates: o Traditional industrial trash enclosures required doors, which created operational burdens for businesses {e.g., opening doors to move dumpsters for collection). o Proposed Change: Enclosures may now be three-sided without a door; doors remain optional. This improves sanitation operations and eases the burden on business owners while maintaining visual and functional requirements. o Location Restrictions: Enclosures can be placed at the sides or rear of a building, but not within the front setback. o Applicability: Applies primarily to commercial and industrial zones but can also apply to high-density residential areas with commercial services. 3. Overall Intent: o Make zoning and operational requirements more developer/busine ss-friendly, o Maintain safety, aesthetics, and functional standards while reducing unnecessary operational burdens. Motion: Approve the Ordinance amending Section 11-2-6, Standards for Allowed Land Uses; and 11-7-1, Definitions related to pet grooming: and 11-4-4, Landscaping, Buffers, and Screening under a suspension of the rules requiring three complete and separate readings, request that it be read by title and published by summary, o Moved by: Councilor Radford o Second: Councilor Larsen o Vote: Aye: Burtenshaw, Dingman, Francis, Freeman, Larsen, Radford. Nay: none o Motion carries.
