Memo
To: City Council
From: Anette Spickard, City Manager
Date: May 2, 2019
Re: Monthly Department Report – April 2019
1. Association of Idaho Cities District 3 Meeting – Legislative Update:
I attended the District 3 meeting in Nampa on April 25th. The AIC Executive Director summarized the
2019 legislative session and highlighted bills that were passed and upcoming issues that are of interest to
cities:
HB134 – Allows for liquor by the drink in “plazas” where minors may lawfully be present. Plazas will be
treated same as baseball parks, sports arenas, convention centers where alcohol sales can be done under
one permit and not need a separate permit for each event from Idaho State Police. The city will need to
define the area of the “plaza” but intent is to simplify paperwork and clarify how alcohol sales can occur
in an outdoor event area with minors present.
HB168 – Allows cities to designate overweight truck routes and either manage permits in-house or opt in
to Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) program to issue permits on our behalf. Cities can deny
overweight trucks from traveling through the city and law allows the city to condition permits in terms of
hours, times of year, and types of facilities like schools that they cannot travel by. The city can charge up
to $5,000 to industry requesting the permit. The permit fee is to be used for engineering analysis to see if
the street can hold the weight. The city is not required to have an overweight route and can deny these
trucks from coming through the city. If the city establishes an approved route and then denies a permit,
there is an appeal process.
SB1113 – Campaign Finance Reform goes into effect for city elections in January 2020. Our City Clerk
will provide you with training and additional information regarding the changes at a future Council
meeting.
Transportation Funding - Legislature did not reauthorize “surplus eliminator” which eliminated funding
to Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) for projects including the sidewalk/safe routes
to school program. They also did not approve any fee or gas tax increases to pay for transportation projects.
Online Sales Tax – The state will collect online sales taxes per the US Supreme court ruling (Wyoming v.
Wayfair), but those funds will not be distributed through the normal sales tax revenue distribution formula.
1 of 36
Monthly Department Report – City Manager
Instead the legislature decided to divert those taxes to an unspecified “tax relief fund” for the next 5 years.
The legislature did not define how those taxes can or will be spent from the “tax relief fund”.
HB217- Urban Renewal reform goes into effect July 1, 2019. Vote requirement does not apply to
underground infrastructure or unoccupied above-ground structures, like parking structures and sidewalks.
Occupied above-ground buildings will trigger vote requirement depending on amount of tax increment in
the project budget and a “three-part test” analysis. More information will come from Urban Renewal (UR)
Agency association and Tax Commission regarding the “three-part test” analysis. The law is somewhat
vague so it’s possible a city will proceed under their own interpretation and then be challenged in court.
Rule-making will be done by the Tax Commission. The Association of Idaho Cities and UR Agency will
work with the Tax Commission on the rule-making.
Issues likely to come up in 2020 session that AIC will monitor– Repeal of grocery tax, business personal
property tax exemption, revenue sharing formula, transportation funding, Medicaid funding, highway
district consolidation (create highway districts in each county and turn over all equipment & road levy
authority from local jurisdictions).
2. DEQ Source Water Protection Workshop:
I attended the workshop on April 18 in Boise. Attendees were primarily from private water systems/HOA’s
who manage ground water wells for rural subdivisions. McCall was the only surface water drinking source
represented. I learned that the State does not require any public drinking water system to have a source
water protection plan but as a practical matter it does make sense to have safeguards in place to prevent
contamination from entering a water distribution system because the cost of clean up and loss of trust in
the drinking water system is far more expensive than the preventive measures. Our treatment plant does
test and monitor water quality coming into the plant daily and the City has protections in place at our plant
to ensure the water is safe when it goes out through the distribution system. We are fortunate to have high
quality incoming water and treatment is minimal.
The workshop primarily focused on simple protection strategies such as fencing to keep trespassers/vandals
and potential contaminants from entering the physical area around ground water wells. They briefly
touched on surface water protection for a source such as Payette Lake, which is a much more complicated
endeavor. The challenge for Payette Lake is the plan would have to encompass the entire watershed that
feeds water into the lake which is a very large geographic area well outside of the City limits and City’s
authority. To create such a plan will take many years and the involvement of multiple federal, state and
local agencies, landowners, and other stakeholders. The City cannot unilaterally create such a plan nor
enforce restrictions on public and private lands outside of our zoning jurisdiction. We also do not have
authority to regulate activity on the lake itself. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) provided
an example of a successful surface water plan, the Lake Maumelle Watershed Plan in Arkansas, which
involved many stakeholders and resulted in restricted access to certain areas of the lake and the purchase
of key properties to prevent development. A monthly charge was assessed to all water utility accounts to
pay for the plan’s implementation activities. The implementation and enforcement of the plan was possible
because it is a regional water utility with broad authority over all property within their watershed boundary.
That is not our situation here in McCall. DEQ recognizes that regulating Payette Lake and the property
within the watershed will be a major undertaking that no one agency can do alone. They do have some
grant funds to provide technical assistance and can provide GIS mapping data of the watershed. The
maximum grant award per year is $10,000.
The City’s newly adopted Water Master Plan does recommend the City pursue a source water protection
plan in the future; however the Council should understand the level of effort required to create such a plan
will require a major staff and budgetary investment over several years and the willing engagement of other
2 of 36

agencies and stakeholders. At this time the priority for the Water Treatment Plant staff is to
rehabilitate/replace outdated transmission lines, improve fire hydrant pressures, and make necessary repairs
to our facilities to keep daily water transmission functional as outlined in the Council-adopted Water Master
Plan capital improvements plan. If Council desires a future work session on the topic of source water
protection and the timing of such an endeavor, please let me know.
3. Sewer District Board Appointment/Election Cancellation:
I attended the April board meeting of the Payette Lakes Recreational Water & Sewer District (PLRWSD)
and learned that no one filed for election to the newly created seat to represent the City of McCall on the
Board. The Board will now move forward to appoint someone to that vacant seat. The Board decided they
will not advertise the vacancy as they felt it had already been advertised by virtue of the election and felt
they had done their required outreach. The City also advertised the position prior to the election through
our social media channels. The Board voted to cancel the election and will appoint a current Board member
from another zone to the vacant spot at their May Board meeting even though he does not reside in the area
to be represented.
4. Human Resources Update:
The City was invited to attend our first III-A Board of Trustees meeting, which was held in Boise on
4/24/2019. Traci Malvich, Human Resource Manager, will hold the Board seat for McCall, and Anette
Spickard, City Manager, will be the alternate. Traci will officially be seated on the III-A Board of Trustees
on July 1, 2019.
Staff is very busy with recruiting efforts in several departments. There are currently several full-time
regular positions to fill due to retirements/resignations. There are two full-time vacancies in the Water
Department and one in the Street Department, and staff is currently working on a strategy to fill the
upcoming Airport Manager vacancy. We also have a part-time regular position for a Library Associate.
Staff is also still looking to fill several seasonal positions in both Parks and Golf for the summer
crews. Applications have been slow thus far despite our multi-faceted advertising efforts. On a good note,
our new City Engineer Nick Zaninovich started this week and we are so pleased to have him on board.

From: Jay Scherer, Airport Manager CC:
Anette Spickard, City Manager Date
5/1/2019
Re: Monthly Department Report – April 2019
1. Winter Recovery:
This morning, the last of the snow was removed from the main apron parking tie downs. There are large
piles still on the majority of leaseholds, but none that should inhibit aircraft operations. Flooding was an
issue again for the occupants of the Hangar 560 block. Like in 2016, an ice dam diverted water from the
stormwater ditch on adjacent property directly into back of the 560 hangar block causing them to flood.
Staff is assessing options to protect this area from future floods.
2. Tie Down Rental:
The Forest Service will be soliciting bids on a two-phase project to rebuild their entire parking ramp this
summer, so staff will be hosting additional USFS assets on our ramps. I intend to alter the tie down
parking concept to eliminate assigned spots. We will offer a parking placard to be placed in the aircraft
windscreen to identify prior parking payment. (Say that 5 times fast.)
3. Triangle Development:
This wasn’t worked on during April due to higher priority tasks.
4. Parallel Taxiway Relocation:
T-O has prepared the grant request paperwork for the entire project and a contract for pre-design activities.
5. Land Acquisition:
The FAA has refused reimbursement of the $13,499.23 which was spent above the cap on the non- litigation
contract. While disappointing, this was not unexpected. Closeout documents are being altered to reflect.
6. Airport Zoning:
GIS section plotted the zones recommended by FAA and Idaho Transportation Dept – Aero guidance. We
are reviewing these zones to determine if they provide any utility on the north end of the airport and what
controls on use might be implemented under these airspace overlays as part of the Airport Zone Code
rewrite.

7. Airport Manager Resignation:
I have resigned my position effective July 12 or upon arrival of a new airport manager, whichever is
earliest. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the McCall community for the past 3 years.
8. Events:
Airport Open House - July 6th. I will attend STEM day at Donnelly Elementary on May 18 from 10am to
2pm.

nonconforming code went through a public hearing at the April 2 Planning & Zoning meeting and
was recommended for approval to the City Council and County Commissioners. The non-conforming
is a public hearing at City Council on May 9. Staff and consultant worked together on potential local
housing codes. Research has been completed on comparable communities and ideas have been
generated specific to McCall.
3. Civic Campus Planning:

Monthly Department Report – Golf Course
Memo
To: City Council
From: Eric McCormick, Golf Superintendent
CC: Anette Spickard, City Manager
Date: 5/1/2019
Re: Monthly Department Report – April 2019
1. Weather:
A warm April with some rain really sped the rate of snow melt on the bulk of Aspen and Birch
by the end of the month. The upper holes on Cedar still have a lot of snow.
2. Staff:
At the beginning of the month, staff consisted of three full time and two seasonal works for the
first week. One seasonal person was laid off for a month for a break but will be back for the
summer season. The last week of April, staff was increased by four seasonal employees to start
raking Vole damage, picking up limbs and trash, and taking down the ropes around the greens.
The crew will have four returning seasonal staff with three new staff coming on. It has been
challenging to compete with the landscape businesses that are starting people at $14.00.
3. Greens:
Staff treated the greens with composted turkey fertilizer to help speed up the melt. At the end of
the month, there were 12 greens cleared of snow. The greens are coming out of winter looking
pretty good. There is some vole damage, but greens are mostly clear.
4. Shop Expansion:
Staff was able to finish the interior and move into the new office. Electricians completed the
electrical in the grinding room and new bay. We were able to move the hoist into the new bay,
have the floor painted in the grinding room, and move the grinders in.
5. Dog Walking Cart Paths:
Snow on the paths was down to the pavement at the end of the month. Plenty of dog poop
everywhere. A lot of people are picking up though as there has been over 2000# deposited in the
receptacles by the end of April.
19 of 36
Monthly Department Report – Golf Course
6. Equipment Maintenance:
The Turf Equipment representative came and set up the equipment maintenance program and
wireless hour meter system that reads all the leased equipment as it goes by the office. He has
been inputting all the equipment into the computer so staff can keep repair records in the system
instead of on paper.
7. Restaurant:
The restaurant has also been having staffing issues as they have lost a couple of people and gained
some new. Business has been busy for them.
8. Driving Range:
The driving range was almost clear by the end of April. The McCall Golf Team was most
appreciative to be able to hit balls. Staff lets them hit all the balls stored in the ball shack and by
the time it is dry enough to pick them from the range it will be white with balls instead of the
snow.
9. Tent Area:
A capital improvement (CIP) item for a permanent roof structure to cover the area in the future
has been added. Banyans on the Green has been waiting for the area to dry out in order to start
working on laying pavers.
10. Tree Damage:
Over the winter, there were several trees with broken limbs. There was a large fir on 3 Birch snap
half way up the last day of the month in a wind storm. As soon as it dries up enough to get the
chipper out on the cart paths, staff will clean up everything including several dead trees.

Monthly Department Report – Information Systems
Memo
To: City Council
From: Chris Curtin, Information Sys tems Manager
Date: 5/9/19
Re: Monthly Department Report – April 2019
1. Network Infrastructure, Projects and Services:
InfoSys is working with Finance toward implementing online credit card processing. This will allow
automatic bill payments as well as allowing us to take payments for things like building permits, etc.
Council should expect to see an agenda item about how to handle convenience fees and\or processing
charges. Deployment of new laptops and desktops should happen by the end of May.
2. Personnel:
Vlatko Romanov, Network Administrator, finished his Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE)
certification class and has passed the tests which gives him the certification. Chris Curtain, Information
Systems Manager will be presenting to the West Central Mountains Economic Development Council
(WCMEDC) conference May 17th on communications and fiber. The Council is encouraged to attend
as this will be an excellent primer on fiber and internet in rural communities. The Federal
Communication Commission is sending a Commissioner and Governor Little and Senator Risch are
expected to attend.
3. Software Applications and Services:
Staff working in tandem with Department Heads are moving forward with a process evaluation. This
review will allow us to explore the how and why of internal and external processes and to look for
efficiencies. It is expected to leverage the existing software – Laserfiche, SharePoint, Caselle etc. –
toward reducing paperwork and moving toward online forms and better business process workflow.
Ideally, most processes will be able to automate. Staff will begin with Airport, Police and Golf
departments.

Monthly Department Report - Library
Memo
To: City Council
From: Meg Lojek, Library Director
CC: Anette Spickard, City Manager
Date: 5/3/2019
Re: Monthly Department Report – April 2019
1. Staff:
One front desk staff librarian had to resign due to family reasons, so we will be advertising for an opening
soon. April was National Poetry Month and we had community members from all walks of life stop in,
contemplate their words, and write a poem to post on the wall. This was an uplifting program for everyone.
The Library Director attended the South West Idaho Library Association’s spring workshops April 29th in
Boise and benefited from sessions regarding public safety in library buildings, book merchandising, the
design thinking cycle, and brain development with language acquisition among pre-literacy patrons.
2. Other Projects:
Library Building Committee voted unanimously to select CM Construction Management Company to
work with Humphries Poli on the Library project. The selection was accepted by the Trustees and staff are
entering into contract negotiations. The committee will continue to move forward with coordinating
contracts for architecture and project management, with review from legal counsel along the way.
The Library Director has continued to work with other departments, Council members, and community
members with the campus design development committee. This has been rewarding and productive, and
there was an Open House at the Library May 2nd.
3. Programs:
Doing Democracy: (Not) Recycling discussion was April 30 with another great turnout. County
Commissioners, leaders of the community, experts in the topic discussed with concerned citizens. Program
will take a break during the summer months.
Seed Swap: May Day celebrates our 7-year long-standing Seed Swap, a program to encourage local food
sourcing, started by then librarian Robyn Armstrong. The Library has a “seed library” through the end of
June, where anyone can come and take seeds to plant and grow vegetables.
Library Stats: April is included in this report.
Monthly Program Calendar: May programs calendar is included in this report. Staff will also have the
annual Bike to the Library program to highlight connectivity of public services with our pedestrian/bike
pathways. There is an author visit, a high school senior project presentation, and the Friends of the Library
Used Book Sale Memorial Day weekend – everyone is welcome at all our programs.

Monthly Department Report – Parks and Recreation
Memo
To: City Council
From: Kurt Wolf, Parks and Recreation Director
CC: Anette Spickard, City Manager
Date: 4/30/2019
Re: Monthly Department Report –April 2019
1. Spring Rec Programs & Registrations:
Elementary Volleyball was a success, with 32 youth participants, 4 parent coaches and 3 high school
assistants. Surveys collected at the end of the short season showed parents and kids really enjoy the
program and wish it was a longer season with smaller teams.
The Recreation Supervisor, Tara Woods, had a successful time with the Cooking with Toddlers program.
With only 4 participants and parents, surveys showed parents loved the variety of recipes, easy and
yummy food options, but wished more people would have signed up. Recipes included veggie spring
rolls, fruit parfaits, Bento boxes, fresh squeezed juices and smoothies. Staff will re-assess and determine
if better marketing will promote higher enrollment.
The indoor soccer community has been requesting gym space for play. Staff was able to secure the gym
for Friday afternoon’s from 5:30-7:30pm for 4-weeks; however, no one showed up the first 2 Fridays.
Because the gym reservation is for adult use, the school district charges a fee. The recreation department
did offer indoor soccer earlier in the winter, which was well attended. The spring indoor soccer program
ended up costing the department over $300 in reservation fees. Program cost will be offset with other
revenue generating programs.
The summer guide is now public. Program registrations open Wednesday, May 1st. The guide advertises
11 youth programs, 4 adult programs and a variety of community special events and camps.
Similar to the plant night the department hosted last spring, a spring floral bouquet class is scheduled for
May 8th. Staff has partnered with a local florist and South Fork Floral to get locally sourced flowers for
the event. Apothospa will also be present to share sample items to include for a well-rounded gift for
Mother’s Day or someone special.
Youth Baseball and Softball registrations have been going strong since mid-April. There is a cap on teams
this year, and a waitlist will start if a team fills up. If there are enough kids on the waitlist by May 5th, staff
will add another team to the schedule. This year includes two girls whose parents have registered them
26 of 36
Monthly Department Report – Parks and Recreation
for baseball teams. Staff has reached out to both Boise Parks and Recreation and Nampa Parks and
Recreation, who have allowed girls to play on boy’s baseball teams. Parents have knowingly signed their
children up for the teams as well as signed participation waivers. New Meadows and Cascade have had
trouble filling their teams in the past with all girls or all boys and have allowed a mix of kids playing on
baseball teams. Our program this summer will be the same.
2. Trainings:
The 2019 Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation Annual Conference was well attended with
representation from communities across the state. Department staff came away with great information
and have teamed up with Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) on a state-wide survey and
study on recreation to aid in updating the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan.
3. Special Events:
The showing of the film “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants- Preserving Public Lands in Montana” on
Wednesday, April 24th at the McCall Community Center was well attended, and the panel discussion was
well received. The panel consisted of representatives from the Idaho Land Trust, Payette Land Trust and
West Central Mountains Economic Development Council.
The Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) has planned to present their Recycling Report during
the Library’s Doing Democracy event on April 30th. EAC chair Julie Thrower and members of the
committee will present their report at the meeting and hold discussions with the group. The event begins
at 6:30pm.
The 3rd Annual Arbor Day event with Franz Witte, on Saturday, April 27th was once again well attended
despite cooler temperatures and high winds. The event ran from 12:00-3:00pm and both staff and Franz
Witte where pleased once again and look forward to the same format next year.
4. Parks Overview and Staffing:
Both Parks and Recreation are working hard to secure summer seasonal help and have already begun the
recruiting process. We have brought on four returning seasonal employees and have commitments from
two new employees that are hoping to start during the first full week in May.
Spring cleanups are well under way and staff has been assessing damages caused by snow. There is
significant tree work and cleanup due to the snow from this last winter and has had a significant impact
on the maintenance schedule as it relates to spring cleanups.
New implements purchased through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process have significantly
reduced the amount of man hours associated with spring cleanups and raking. The new Landscape Truck
is scheduled to be delivered in May.
Snow Damage Concerns: Tables and monument at Centennial Plaza, fence at Gold Glove Park, trees
and shrubs in general, Bear Basin Pathway washouts, and signage in general are areas that have been
identified in need of repair.
5. Waterways Committee – Valley County Waterways Ordinance Update:
Parks & Recreation Director Kurt Wolf prepared a summarization of the City Council’s discussion on
the waterways ordinance and read during the County Commissioners public hearing in McCall on April
27 of 36
Monthly Department Report – Parks and Recreation
23rd. The hearing was well attended by the community and the Commissioners heard many comments
regarding the proposed ordinance. Eddie Heider, Parks Superintendent will fill in for the Director during
the County Waterways Committee meeting in May.
6. Capital Projects & Maintenance:
Wooley Boardwalk: The project remains on schedule and the contractor has begun framing. Beams and
joists are roughly 60% complete and the contractor is still pushing to complete the contract portion of the
project by the end of May.
Riverfront Park Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) 319 Work: The efforts to stabilize
and reduce bank erosion at Riverfront Park are proving very successful. The bank barbs that were installed
last winter are preforming as designed. Staff is currently working with the contractor on a plan to re-
contour the upper bank and re-vegetate this spring. Additional DEQ funds may be available to help with
re-vegetation and other stream bank locations downstream.
Tree Planting Project at Riverfront Park: The remainder of the trees from the Rotary tree planting
project arrived on April 30th and staff should have everything planted during the first full week in May.
A community service event in collaboration with the Rotary Club will be schedule sometime in May or
early June to put the finishing touches on the planting project (composting, tree wells, and staking).
Gold Glove Park Improvements: The contractor is scheduled to complete the ADA improvements
around the restroom at Gold Glove Park during the first week of May. This work is tied to a CIP project
that was cut short due to weather last fall/early winter.
