AREA PLAN The Plan proposes that the Agency undertake urban renewal projects, including identifying public facilities for funding, pursuant to the Idaho Urban Renewal Law of 1965, Chapter 20, Title 50, Idaho Code, as amended. The Plan being considered for adoption contains a revenue allocation financing provision pursuant to the Local Economic Development Act, Chapter 29, Title 50, Idaho Code, as amended that will cause property taxes resulting from any increase in equalized assessed valuation in excess of the equalized assessed valuation as shown on the base assessment roll as of January 1, 2019, to be allocated to the Agency for urban renewal purposes. The Agency has adopted and recommended approval of the Plan. Mayor Blad opened the public hearing. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 3 APRIL 18, 2019 Meghan Conrad, Elam and Burke, representing Pocatello Development Authority, gave an overview of the timetable and process necessary to consider adoption of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. She stated eligibility of the plan was established and an economic feasibility study was completed. Ms. Conrad added that the risk surrounding the proposed plan lies upon the developer and not the public entities. She stated that an urban renewal plan is not a contract but allows development of upcoming agreements. Kushlan and Associates performed the eligibility and feasibility study pertaining to the plan. Phil Kushlan, Kushlan and Associates, addressed the impact on other taxing districts within the city. He gave an overview of variables including cash flow analysis; anticipated expenditures; and payback structure. Mr. Kushlan explained how a TIF district is a reallocation and that property taxes resulting from an increase in assessed valuation in excess of the equalized assessed valuation as shown on the base assessment roll will be allocated to the Agency for urban renewal purposes. He added that in many instances tax rates decline or increase only slightly. Mr. Kushlan stated that service demands and associated costs are typically associated with maintenance of parks and streets and that those costs could be negotiated within the development agreement. He added that a TIF district is a mechanism which can help offset the costs to bring new resources to citizens. Mr. Kushlan stated that residentially rated TIF districts have been formed in Nampa, Boise, Caldwell and Meridian. He explained that because many residential properties carry a homeowner’s exemption, addition of commercial development adds value to the areas. Mr. Kushlan stated the proposed urban renewal area was evaluated and the impact to other areas of the city were not included in the task. Melanie Gygli, Planning and Development Services Director/Pocatello Development Authority (PDA) Interim Director, gave an overview of the process required to adopt an urban renewal plan and outlined the current areas within Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts. She stated that the North Yellowstone district would be closed in June or July of 2019, earlier than scheduled, and would bring a minimum of $60 million onto the tax rolls. Ms. Gygli stated that the proposed TIF district would not require bonded debt and has very low risk for the City of Pocatello. In response to a question from Council, Ms. Gygli explained that the proposed TIF district lies within multiple jurisdictions—City of Pocatello, City of Chubbuck and Bannock County. She added that public entities are reimbursed first. Mr. Bray stated he was interested in seeing the results of a study to evaluate how the formation of the TIF district would impact property taxes and fees throughout the city. He expressed his concern regarding the potential negative impact on the City’s good bond rate. Mr. Bray stated he was concerned that specific businesses had not yet been identified to locate within the district. He shared that he had other questions related to the comprehensive plan and budget as it relates to the TIF district plan. Ms. Gygli clarified that 300 acres has been annexed into the City of Pocatello and additional land could be annexed in phases with an overall proposed development of 1,800 acres of land. Ms. Gygli distributed written comments from the public to Council members. Buck Swaney, representing Millennial Development, spoke in support of the proposal. He stated that over $159 million in tax revenue has been generated over the last ten years through the closure of TIF districts. Mr. Swaney stated that $50 million is being spent by the developers for infrastructure. He added that all public entities and the Pocatello Development Authority would be paid before the developers received payment for their investment. Mr. Swaney added that the proposed Tax Increment Financing district would allow efficient development without risk to the City. He explained that the developers have self-imposed development fees. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4 APRIL 18, 2019 In response to a question from Council, Mr. Swaney stated that it is his policy to not speak of anticipated incoming businesses. He added that the public/private partnership process takes time and the formation of a TIF district is part of the foundation of a successful development. Council member Roger Bray was excused from the meeting at 7:11 p.m. David Ross, Pocatello resident, spoke in support of the proposal. He stated he feels the proposed development would bring business and higher paying jobs to the area. Mr. Ross feels the proposal is low risk and would help development in all areas of the city. Amy Jean Kenna, Pocatello resident, spoke in support of the proposal. She stated she also supports bringing the Constitutional Convention to Pocatello in 2020. Ken Pape, representing Portneuf Development, spoke in support of the proposal. He stated the planned development would include walkable trails and a high-tech community and would provide employment to citizens. Mr. Pape emphasized that the investments for infrastructure are being provided by the developers. Jay Christensen, Pocatello resident, spoke in favor of the proposal. He feels the proposed development could provide high paying jobs to the well-educated students of Pocatello. Mr. Christensen stated it is a great benefit to have the developers provide funding for the infrastructure with little to no risk to the citizens. Elton Zundel, Pocatello resident, spoke in favor of the proposal. He feels the development is one of the most aggressive and beneficial proposals in many years. Don Zebe, Pocatello resident, spoke in favor of the proposal. He stated he has been involved with the project for quite some time. Mr. Zebe stated that Pocatello is in need of additional “class one” commercial space and addition of the development would help recruit new businesses to the community. In response to a question from Council, Mr. Zebe does not feel that a new development would have a negative impact on the old town area of the city. Sam Nettinga, Pocatello resident, spoke in support of the proposal. He stated the proposed plan would allow for development of infrastructure necessary to place a “Gold Star Monument” in Pocatello. John Wilkes, Pocatello resident, spoke in support of the proposal. He stated he is a construction contractor which employs approximately 125 employees locally. Mr. Wilkes feels the proposed project would positively impact the economy. Mike Theiring, Pocatello resident, spoke uncommitted to the proposal. He is concerned that the urban renewal plan is not a renewal, as the land is currently agricultural. Sue Skinner, Pocatello resident, spoke uncommitted to the proposal. She shared her concerns regarding water security and air quality within new developments. Chris Stevens, Pocatello resident, spoke uncommitted to the proposal. She stated that she is concerned about the overall tax impacts on taxpayers and citizen. Ms. Stevens feels more comprehensive information is necessary before the plan is adopted. Heather Disselkoehn, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the proposal. She shared her concerns regarding transparency and adequate water resources. REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 5 APRIL 18, 2019 Sylvia Martinez, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the proposal. She feels that the proposed issue is being pushed through too quickly and that development of the area could lead to fewer outdoor recreation areas and increased traffic congestion. Victor Watts, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the proposal. He stated he feels there are too many empty commercial buildings already and that the area is not a blighted area. Mr. Watts feels that development would happen regardless of the formation of a TIF district. Mike Siebert, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the proposal. He stated he initially supported the formation of a TIF district but now feels that there are enough developments within the city and that an impact study is necessary. In response to questions raised during the public hearing, Ms. Conrad stated that revitalization of current areas is considered urban renewal and that there is also a provision pertaining to development of open land. She explained that all eligibility factors were addressed and consent by property owners was obtained. In response to questions from Council, Ms. Conrad stated that Pocatello Development Authority is subject to the same open meeting laws and reporting requirements as other public agencies. She added that adoption of a TIF district is only one component and that further development must go through the City’s permitting and development process. Ms. Conrad stated that discussions on the development were initiated in 2017 and that the process has followed a typical timeline. She added that every process is different and driven by the community. There being no further public comments, Mayor Blad closed the public hearing and announced the Council would consider an ordinance at a later date. AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: As announced earlier, the public hearing to hear comments from the PUBLIC HEARING public regarding a reconsideration request of the Hearing -RECONSIDERATION Examiner’s decision to deny an electronic off-premises (billboard) REQUEST OF HEARING sign at 507 East Center Street was postponed to the May 2, EXAMINER’S DENIAL 2019 Regular City Council meeting. OF AN ELECTRONIC BILLBOARD AT 507 EAST CENTER STREET AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Council was asked to consider a request from Brad Winters for an EXCEPTION REQUEST exception to the following: a) City Code 15.10.100 (Time of Sale of -SALE OF FIREWORKS Fireworks) to allow the sale of fireworks June 24, 2019 through July JUNE 24 THROUGH 4, 2019; and b) City Code 15.10.120 (sale only at temporary JULY 4, 2019 fireworks stands) to sell from a tent that is slightly larger than 200 square feet. Fire Department staff recommended denial of the request. Staff is concerned that multiple problems will arise by allowing a business to sell fireworks that cannot be legally used for several days. City of Pocatello discharge dates for fireworks are June 28 through July 6. A motion was made by Ms. Adamson, seconded by Ms. Leeuwrik, to deny the request from Brad Winters for an exception to the following: a) City Code 15.10.100 (Time of Sale of Fireworks) to allow REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 6 APRIL 18, 2019 the sale of fireworks June 24, 2019 through July 4, 2019; and b) City Code 15.10.120 (sale only at temporary fireworks stands) to sell from a tent that is slightly larger than 200 square feet. Mr. Cheatum asked Ms. Adamson to amend the motion to consider Agenda Item No. 8(a) and 8(b) separately. Ms. Adamson asked to have clarification from Fire Department staff before she would amend her motion. In response to questions from Council, Andy Holmes, Assistant Fire Chief, stated that in order to sell fireworks from a tent, the owner would still be required to have a building permit with appropriate structural verification. He added that allowing the sale of fireworks four (4) days before the code allows the discharge of fireworks is not recommended. Mr. Holmes stated that allowing the exception to the dates could lead to confusion and an increase in illegal discharge of fireworks. In response to questions from Council, Brad Winters stated that he is willing to withdraw his request regarding City Code 15.10.120 (sale only at temporary fireworks stands) to sell from a tent that is slightly larger than 200 square feet. He stated that City Code allows for the detonation of fireworks on December 31, but has previously allowed for an exception to sell fireworks between December 26 and December 31. In response to a question from Council, Mr. Holmes stated that Fire Department staff is comfortable allowing an exception to the code regarding time of sale of fireworks during dates in December, as the ground is typically covered in snow at that time and does not pose an increase in fire danger, as is the case in July. Ms. Adamson’s motion was voted upon at this time. Upon roll call, those voting in favor were Adamson, Leeuwrik, Cheatum, Johnston and Mannan.
