Memo
To: City Council
From: Anette Spickard, City Manager
Date: March 7, 2019
Re: Monthly Department Report – February 2019
1.Public Outreach:
The primary public education/outreach focus in February was our “Snow in the City” campaign to help
people understand the City’s snow removal operations, plow routes, parking enforcement, sidewalk snow
removal responsibility, and to connect people to licensed private snow removal contractors for assistance
with snow on private property. February was a record month for snowfall and staff handled numerous calls
at City Hall for plow information and road conditions.
2.Idaho Transportation Department – Highway 55 Road Repairs/Improvements:
Winter weather conditions this year have been harsh on street surfaces, notably on Highway 55 between
Banks and McCall. Staff has received a number of complaints regarding the condition and safety of travel
on Highway 55 during February and was in regular communication with the Idaho Transportation
Department (ITD). In the short term, ITD has patched major potholes and issued travel advisories for the
corridor. For the long term, ITD has prepared a major reconstruction and safety improvement project for
the section between the Rainbow Bridge and Smith’s Ferry that will begin in Fall of 2019. ITD staff met
with me and Public Works Director Nathan Stewart to discuss the project. It will last approximately 2.5
years and will include some full closures of the highway as well as 1-lane only access with 15-20 minute
delays.
For more information on the project can be found on ITD’s interactive map website at:
https://itdprojects.org/id55smithsferryrepave/
3.Census 2020 Kickoff Update:
The Mayor, Council Member Bob Giles, City GIS staff, and I met with the Census 2020 Liaison for our
region to discuss the upcoming federal census that will be conducted April 1, 2020. The Census is very
important for both the State and the City as it determines our population for purposes of distribution of
$675 billion in federal funding across the nation for transportation, job training, public education, senior
services, housing programs, and medical assistance programs. Idaho receives approximately $2.4 billion
per year or $1,473 per Idahoan. To prepare for the Census they will be hiring up to 300 people at $15/hour
and 58 cents/mile to work in April and May 2019 to verify address and location data for households

throughout the region. Interested applicants should contact the Idaho Department of Labor. City staff will
establish a “Complete Count Committee” to assist with the Census as was done in 2010. The Council has
been asked to sign a proclamation in support of the Census 2020 which will be on your March 28th Council
agenda. If you would like to participate on the Complete Count Committee, please let me know.
4. Legislation Update:
Staff continues to monitor key bills in the legislature that may impact the City.
The alcohol license reform bill previously shared with Council has since been redrafted as a new bill – SB
1160. The new bill retains the current authority of the state to issue the licenses instead of giving it to the
cities and counties, it creates new categories for licenses within cities, caps quotas, and requires server
training. The Association of Idaho Cities continues to support the new bill. A copy of the bill’s statement
of purpose is attached to this memo.
HB 217 will reform Urban Renewal (UR) law to require voter approval for use of UR funds for remodels
of municipal buildings and for “multipurpose sports stadium complexes”. It refocuses the use of Urban
Renewal funds to infrastructure in advance of private sector development. The Association of Idaho Cities,
the Idaho Chamber Alliance, and the Renewal Agencies of Idaho all oppose the bill. A copy of the bill’s
statement of purpose is attached to this memo.
2 of 38
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27021
This legislation:
Creates new categories of licenses for eating establishments and lodging facilities within cities, caps the
number of quota licenses, and removes barriers to economic development created by the quota system.
Requires enhanced responsibility of servers who sell alcohol beverages to underage persons, or who serve
alcohol beverages to obviously intoxicated adult consumers, as part of a regulatory framework including
requirements for server training and graduated licensee civil penalties upon training status of the licensee's
employees.
FISCAL NOTE
This bill will have no fiscal impact on the General Fund. The license fees will cover costs to the Alcohol
Beverage Control.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Note S1160
3 of 38
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS26945
This legislation amends 50-2905A Local Economic Development Act. The purpose is to establish more
taxpayer input into municipal structures that come off the tax roll. Urban Renewal was not intended to
become the path of least resistance for the construction or financing of municipal buildings. It was designed
to encourage private sector development. The primary changes are as follows. We added "remodel" of a
"municipal building" relating to voter approval. Second, we add a "multipurpose sports stadium complex"
to the types of property that would be subject to a public vote in order to spend Urban Renewal dollars from
a Revenue Allocation Area. Third, we required all municipal buildings, remodels and multipurpose sports
stadium complexes to go to the voters in the qualified municipality for approval. Fourth, we lowered the
threshold to approve spending on qualified project costs from 60% to 55%. Fifth, we established the types of
spending that would not be subject to a vote, refocusing the use of Urban Renewal dollars to infrastructure in
advance of private sector economic development. We defined "multipurpose sports stadium complex" and
amended the definition of "municipal building" to include buildings that are owned and leased or operated
by a municipality. Finally, we include an emergency clause.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact to the State or other units of government. There would be a reallocation of property
tax revenue within a Revenue Allocation Area if a project under this section is approved by the qualified
electors in that municipality.

Monthly Department Report – Airport
Memo
To: City Council
From: Jay Scherer, Airport Manager
CC: Anette Spickard, City Manager
Date 3/7/2018
Re: Monthly Department Report – February 2019
1. Snowfall:
According to the National Center for Environmental Information, a branch of the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, McCall received 71 inches of snowfall in February. There was one
half day closure of the runway due to snow over ice conditions, but no known operations were
impacted. Currently, I’m working to assess the overall impact to budget. A reallocation of funds from
other line items will need to be done to cover expenses for both overtime pay and fuel. Should a snow
event over 3” occur prior to significant melt, we will incur above normal costs for removal as we have
filled our normal snow storage areas and will have to move the snow to another location.
2. Parallel Taxiway Relocation:
T-O Engineers continues work to assess the various taxiway separation costs which will drive the
scope of an environmental study update. Statement of work has been re-submitted to Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) following comment for pre-design actions. An independent fee estimate must
be developed prior to approving a design contract.
3. Land Acquisition Reimbursement:
The final closeout for both Airport Improvement Program Grants was submitted to the FAA and
awaiting concurrence. Upon concurrence, the closeout will be presented to Council for approval to
formally submit and signatures.
4. Airport Zoning:
Draft copies of code amendments impacting the airport zone were sent to the FAA and Idaho
Transportation Department Aeronautics for comment prior to the March 5 Planning & Zoning work
session.

Date: 3/14/19
Re: Monthly Department Report – February 2019
1. Housing:
McCall Redevelopment Agency (MRA) will prepare a request for proposal (RFP) for a Local
Housing development for the parcel they own on Davis Ave in March. Attended a housing
meeting with numerous federal and state agencies to discuss partnerships to create local housing.
2. Code Update:
Diane Kushlan, a planning consultant, is leading the Code Update process in 2019. Diane held a work
session on March 5 on the non-conforming code and airport zone at the Planning and Zoning
Commission. After good discussion, it was decided that the nonconforming code is ready to move
through the public hearing process and the airport is almost ready after additional comments from staff
and Federal Aviation Administration. Staff and consultant are working 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:
Dennis Humphries, the consultant who is working on the library planning, held civic campus planning
steering meeting on March 7. Jim Pace and staff also met with him to look at the
Boathouse/community space concept. A contract for services will be presented to Council to include
the scope of work, process and timeline to add this to his work in McCall.
4. Urban Renewal:
An RFP for the Pine Street parcel was advertised and distributed to developers and the deadline was
extended to April 1. The Board partially funded the non-motorized dock project north of Mile High
Marina. There is one vacancy on the Board and two have been received. Board will look at letters of
interest in March. A joint work session to discuss a new urban renewal district with the City Council
will be held on March 15 from 9 to 11 a.m.

Monthly Department Report – Golf Course
Memo
To: City Council
From: Eric McCormick, Golf Course Superintendent
CC: Anette Spickard, City Manager
Date: 3/7/2019
Re: Monthly Department Report – February 2019
1. Weather:
SNOW – WOW...Can’t say more.
2. Staff:
In February, there were the three full time and two seasonal employees though the month. Staff
has been busy keeping up with the snow and dog stations. This has left little time working on the
inside of the new additions to the Maintenance building.
3. Greens:
Greens are all snow covered and frozen underneath. Everything is in good shape so far with
fingers crossed to see what mother nature throws at us next. There is some ice from the rain event
but not a problem at this point. Staff has not checked them recently as everyone has been too
busy with snow. The assumption is they are probably thawing out below all the snow which is a
good insulator and is common.
4. Shop Expansion:
Staff was only able to finish insulating the office and ceiling of the new bay this month.
5. Dog Walking Cart Paths:
The paths have been busy with people out walking. Staff reported one individual who was driving
into the parking lot, letting their dogs out to do their thing then driving off. Also, there was one
of the snow removal contractors using Birch 2 cart path as a short cut for his route. The Police
Department assisted with the issue but leaving a tree that fell across the path put an end to it.
Now that the snow is deep enough the dogs can’t get out of the paths, the amount of poop left on
the paths is getting bad. It wasn’t noticed as much when we were blowing every day. When I
walked last night, I could have easily picked up a 5-gallon bucket full of poop. As much effort
and energy as staff has put forth this year in blowing paths, the question is if the effort is worth
the outcome?

Monthly Department Report – Golf Course
6. Equipment Maintenance:
The Equipment Manager has been busy just keeping the snow removal equipment running when
not doing snow removal. He has been sorting old parts from the old equipment and getting items
ready for auction. He has been organizing the parts area so a better inventory the parts in stock
can be made.
7. Restaurant:
The restaurant has been steady, and the operators seem happy with the amount of people
coming through. Thursday night Steak Night has been popular.
8. Golf Course Superintendent Association of America Conference and Show:
Calvin Clark, Equipment Manager and Eric McCormick, Golf Course Superintendent attended
the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) in San Diego the first week
of January. The Equipment Managers Association has joined the GCSAA so there were classes
for both staff.
9. Golf Shows:
Dustin Ames, the Golf Professional at Jug Mountain, and Eric McCormick represented the
McCall area and manned three golf show booths (Boise February 8-10, Seattle February 16-17,
and Spokane February 23-24). Booth space was paid for by South West Idaho Tourism
Association, SWITA. Travel and hotel were paid for by the McCall Chamber. There was good
attendance at all the shows, and the face time has brought several new people to the area and not
just for golf. We visited with several people that haven’t been back to McCall for a while and
may venture back. We also talked with people looking for a place to bring a group. With the lake
as a backdrop it shows that there are many activities here for everyone. The Seattle and Spokane
shows were both Golf and Outdoor Recreation shows so we had a lot of non-golfers come to the
booth for information.

Monthly Department Report – Information Systems
Memo
To: City Council
From: Chris Curtin, InfoSys Manager
Date: 3/8/19
Re: Monthly Department Report – February 2019
1. Network Infrastructure, Projects and Services:
Staff is moving forward with implementing several of the advanced features of Laserfiche –
workflows, forms etc. Our first form is currently online and has been well received. I expect this will
work in tandem with our implementation of SharePoint services sometime this summer. Microsoft
includes VoIP phone services in our license, so we are working toward transitioning off of Incom.
2. Personnel:
I attended the Laserfiche Empower conference with Bessie Jo, Erin and Julia. We got exposure to the
usefulness of the advanced features and functionality. They also treated us to a concert by Vanilla Ice.
Vlatko is registered to take a Microsoft Systems Administrator class at the end of March and complete
certification.
3. Software Applications and Services:
Currently working with our vendor (CDW-G) to schedule the SharePoint rollout. Expecting rollout
sometime late April early May. We have begun working with Finance to upgrade Caselle to their
hosted version. I expect to begin online credit card processing in the coming months. We are looking
into electronic document signing as well.

Monthly Department Report – Parks & Recreation
Memo
To: City Council
From: Kurt Wolf, Parks and Recreation Director
CC: Anette Spickard, City Manager
Date: 2/28/2019
Re: Monthly Department Report – February 2019
1. Winter Rec Programs & Registrations:
The Youth Basketball program ended with its final game on February 23. Overall, there was good
feedback received from coaches and players. There were a few scheduling conflicts with gym space for
practices and games. The boys high school basketball team were gym monitors, referees and time keepers.
However due to game conflicts, staff had to reach out to parents/coaches/community volunteers to find
replacements. Staff will make improvements based on feedback to restructure team registration, game
schedules and practices for next year.
Elementary Volleyball is slowly collecting registrations; and Tara Woods, Recreation Supervisor, is on
the hunt for 3 more volunteer coaches for the short season.
Musical Munchkins was a total hit with toddlers and parents. Youth ages 2-5 and their parents met 3 times
to play, sing and dance to a variety of music expanding the across the world and musical genres. The
favorite was playing the harmonica, which every participant received as part of their registration fees.
Tara Woods continues to work on classes and programming efforts for the summer activity guide which
is due to go public on April 22 with registration beginning May 1.
2. Trainings:
Tara Woods attended the USA-Idaho Softball Conference in Boise on February 9th. The group was
excited to see a representative from McCall present, and she was able to schedule umpires for summer
tournaments, connect with tournament contractors about perhaps using McCall’s Gold Glove as a place
to host more tournaments.
Staff is preparing for and assisting Boise Parks and Recreation with planning for the 2019 Idaho
Recreation and Parks Conference in April to be hosted by Boise Parks and Recreation.

3. Special Events:
The loaner equipment program continues to be heavily used this winter.
Luminary Walk – As part of the second weekend of Winter Carnival, recreation staff Tara Woods and
Stefanie Bork organized and hosted a Luminary Walk at McCall Golf Course. This event’s first year was
successful with more than 100 walkers walking the 1-mile loop between 6pm-8pm. Based off feedback,
the intent is to continue the event next Winter Carnival.
4. Parks Overview and Staffing:
Staff and equipment weathered the storms well and like everyone else were all consumed with snow
removal during the month of February. Staff will continue to work on punch list maintenance projects as
weather permits and will begin preparing for spring and summer projects as weather permits. Projects
include: equipment fabrication, planning and scheduling, and noxious weed and irrigation system
mapping with the GIS department. Both parks and recreation are working hard to secure summer seasonal
help and have already begun the recruiting process.
Staff is exploring the idea of utilizing the existing seasonal salary budget to fund a full-time position
(benefits package) as we have not been able to fill the majority of the seasonal positions for three years
in a row now. In Summary: We would be able to hire the same number of seasonal employees as the
past three years with the addition of a full-time employee, utilizing the existing and current budget.
5. Waterways Committee – Valley County Waterways Ordinance Update:
Kurt Wolf, Director, has been attending Valley County Waterways Committee meetings in Cascade on
the first Tuesday of each month. During the March 05 meeting, the County Prosecuting Attorney with
the Sheriff’s Marine Deputies gave the committee an update on the status of the waterway’s ordinance.
To date, the commissioners have addressed and decided on age limits of operation, night time no-wake
regulations, and the 300’ no wake zone on Payette Lake. County Commissioners will continue to discuss
and work on the ordinance during their March meetings. These meetings will be work sessions open to
the public, but they will not be taking public comment at this time. They intend to finish the document
and then hold public hearings.
During the next few work sessions, the Commissioners will be discussing Water Skiing (start and stop),
Impacts of wake generating boats, the three hundred-foot (300’) no wake zone on other lakes in the
county, and boater education programs.
6. Riverfront Park Opportunities:
Conversations continue with the Valley Soil and Water Conservation District as additional Department
of Environmental Quality (DEQ) 319 funds become available. Staff will continue to lay the ground work
to capitalize on these funds as they are available to further mitigate river shoreline erosion concerns.
7. Waterfront Improvements North of the Marina & Brown Park:
Staff is working on an alternative to the University of Idaho’s School of business for the feasibility study
on the event center boat house concept. Preliminary discussions with Humphries Poli Architects will take
place on March 07 to discuss options and or recommendations for firms to assist with the feasibility study.

Monthly Department Report – Parks & Recreation
The University of Idaho Landscape Architecture class is well under way with design alternatives for
Brown Park, North of the Marina, and Riverfront Park. Parks staff will attend preliminary design
presentations on March 18 and provide feedback for the construction drawing phase of their project.
Delta James, Economic Development Planner, helped the department submit Idaho Department Parks
and Recreation (IDPR) Land & Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) and Waterways Improvement Fund
(WIF) grants to further fund site improvements and ADA accessibility on the water front from North of
the Marina and throughout Brown Park. Grant awards will be determined in March.
The McCall Urban Re-Development Agency voted to fund up to $125,000 in match funds with the IDPR
WIF Grant for the non-motorized use area North of the Marina. Idaho Department of Lands (IDL)
encroachment permits have been submitted.
8. Central Idaho Historic Museum Site:
Kurt Wolf and Nathan Stewart, Public Works Director, attended the State Lands Board to present the
storm water treatment facility proposed to be located on the Museum property. The project was approved
without question.
Staff continues to work with the museum board regarding the future of the site and museum operations.
Staff has re-introduced the potential for the department to relocate to the museum site as plans are
formalized with the new Library. These conversations are purely conceptual and so far, they have been
very positive.
Staff will continue to work with Public works on snow storage and parking agreements with St. Luke’s
as construction progresses and the future of the site is more accurately defined.
9. Wooley Boardwalk Pathway Connection:
A pre-construction meeting was held on March 06 and work to begin installing the Helical Piers could
take place as early as March 08. It is the goal to get the piers installed while there is a significant snow
floor to minimize impacts to the wetlands.
Project schedule will largely depend on material availability however conservative estimates put it on
track to be completed by early June and staff is still shooting for a ribbon cutting no later than June 30.
Kurt Wolf and Eddie Heider, Parks Superintendent, will give the Spring Mountain Ranch Home Owner’s
Association board of directors an update during their March 14 board meeting. Staff is preparing an ask
for additional financial support to help offset the additional costs associated with the project.
