City Manager Department Report 1 of 2
MEMORANDUM
Council Members,
Please find my highlights from the month of January below:
1. Streets LOT
Collection of LOT revenue continues following its implementation on 1 January. In addition to
written communication and the information on the city’s website, the City Clerk and City
Manager provided a presentation at a recent Chamber’s after-hours event where we were able to
connect directly with a handful of our business owners to answer any remaining questions about
the tax. The first report of revenue collection will be available from the Clerk’s office on 21
February, and I will provide a report back to the Council once this data is received. Additionally,
as approved the by the Council, a transportation planning component has been added to the city’s
comprehensive planning process. This study will provide us with strong transporation guidance
as we prepare to invest heavily in the our community’s transportation system moving forward.
Finally, our engineering experts are currently coordinating a task order with consultant engineers
to begin engineering of our first streets project, Commerce Street, to occur in 2017. This work
will most likely commence in the Spring of 2016 with surveying of the street to provide data
needed for engineering work.
2. Sewer Disposal & JWAG Efforts
Since the last Council meeting city staff has conferred with Zion’s Bank for financial advise
regarding a potential investment in its sewer treatment and disposal components. As will be
presented in a subsequent agenda bill, Zion’s outlined the options for seeking financing to
execute improvements as needed. It was identified in this discussion that a 3rd party rate study of
sewer rates would be needed as a part of the financing process. City staff has discussed a
potential for completion of a shared rate study which would evaluate PLRWSD rates, city rates,
and also provide a recommendation for rates following potential consolidation which completes
a phase of the planning process for development of a draft annexation agreement as identified by
White Peterson. Additional information about bonding opportunities and discussion of a timeline
for financing will be provided to the Council during the agenda presentation within the business
agenda.

City Manager Department Report
A first hearing date has been scheduled for the sewer legistlative proposal on February 16th at
1:30 PM. I am coordinating development of a presentation with White Petersoto accompany this
hearing and will be attending the hearing with Mr. Gigray to provide information and answer
questions as needed. To date the original legistlative proposal language remains intact as drafted
by White Peterson and as supported by the Council and PLRWSD Board.
3. July 4th Community Discussions
City staff members engaged directly with 17 individual business owners and 70 individual
community members as a part the community engagement process. In addition to direct
engagement, the city’s survey process received responses from 349 individuals regarding the
existing 4th of July venue and a vision for potential change. On 27 January, city staff members
met again with staff members from Valley County and State Parks to further discuss available
options for the 4th of July venue. At this meeting, city staff learned that IDPR would be having a
board meeting on 11 and 12 February where it will take additional steps toward a potential
decision to ban alcohol on North Beach for the 4th of July. Staff has provided a review of options
for Council’s consideration in this week’s agenda packet and has built its approach based on the
assumption that State Parks will implement an alcohol ban at North Beach for July 4th. In
addition to these options, staff members will review and discuss the feedback received from the
community engagement process.
4. Capital Plan Policy Review/Development
Staff members are finalizing the draft capital policy and expect to present to Department Heads
for review/comment prior to the 25 February Council meeting where the policy is intended to be
presented for initial Council comments.
5. Campus Facility Planning
Staff has been developing a presentation for discussion of campus facility planning options
during the work session on 26 February. During this meeting, the library facility planning
committee will provide the Council an update of its efforts and city staff will provide an update
of options for investment in city campus facilities. Direction from the Council of available
options will be requested during this meeting before staff continues forward with its planning
efforts.

New
Airport Non Grant
Funded Snow
Removal
Equipment
As we completed specifications for the FAA grant it
was determined that snow blowing capability would
best be procured through a different vehicle than the
FAA grant. Total cost of adding the blower head to
the grant would risk overspending. Additionally,
using the same piece of equipment for plowing,
snow relocation, and blowing would be inefficient.
A local source for a used blower was found and
could be financed from existing airport funds.

the first week of January
Update
Golf Greens We checked greens the last week of December and
were pleased to find that the frost is out of the
ground so we are able to handle some moisture. The
greens had between 29 inches to 42 inches of snow
cover on them and some layers of crust which helps
with the show shoe and cross country skiers going
over the greens.

Golf Winter Carnival
Parade
We again had a float in the winter carnival parade.
We made up the F10 to be a laser mower and pulled
a trailer behind. We recruited some volunteers to
help throw beads and squeeze golf balls into the
crowd. We could have used 1/3rd more of each. We
spent the last two weeks working on the float
between snow storms as time permitted. Won 2nd
place again this year! Got a lot of air time also.
New
Golf Snow Bike Races The snow bike races may finally be outgrowing the
golf course. They had over 1100 people that paid.
The boys in the club house said that they had a very
good day. The biggest problem is that the promoter
only has enough volunteer staff for the race. So
parking is a free for all and the same for the racer
parking. They were also going to have cross country
ski and fat tire bike races in the morning before the
parade on the same course. But that didn’t happen
because of low interest.
Update
Golf Pump house
insulation
We added 2 inch foam insulation to the pump house
to try and save some energy there. We also use that
to store our geraniums over the winter.
New
Golf Cart Paths We blew a lot of snow off of the paths in January
which included staff coming in on weekends. Erin
has done some notifications on face book and the
web about picking up after your pet which has
helped. We are still working on signage for new
signs.
Update
Golf Club House The club house continues to be busy with a lot of the
sledders on the hill coming in to warm up and have
something to eat and drink. The Golf Course
Advisory Committee worked on selecting new
flooring for the club house that will be paid for with
the raffle of the life time pass. We have decided on
staying with carpet but are still working on a color.
We plan to install what we decide on between April
15 and May 15. I also met with the Idaho Power rep

to decide which would be more efficient, replace the
heating and cooling systems or replace the single
pane windows. It was decided that because we are
trying to heat with the wood stove we should do the
windows first. We will be going to bid in the near
future on the window replacement with the intent of
doing the work the same time as the flooring.
