Re: Code Amendment AB 10-165 CA-09-01 -Lake Frontage Minimum �°�
In 1988 we purchased a small lot and cabin on the lake at 2188 Payette Drive. We now own 40
feet of lake frontage and have a permitted dock. We found over the years that there are already
enough zoning regulations on smaller lots without adding more.
Though we are led to believe that our property and structures are"grandfathered"in,it-seems=to
us-that-this-will-not=except-our-place=of residence from-being=considered="-NON-
� CONFORMIl�TG'-',because we do not own 60-65 feet of lake frontage. Besides the word"Non-
confornung sounding"bad"and"ugly",what else will it mean?What added restrictions will be
attached to "Non-Confornling"lots?
In an October 28,2010 Star News article,reporting on a meeting between the McCall P&Z and
the City of McCa11, it is stated that of the 1131ots on the lake,43 could ask for a split and 70
more could be split into flag lots. We understand that this Code Axnendment is mainly being
advocated by the P&Z to stop more docks from being placed on the lake. The P &Z claims 200
more docks could be built under current rules. That figure must be based on the premise that all
70+ 1131ots would be split,which doesn't seem too likely to us.
Mayor Bailey,we ask that you City Council members really consider the consequences of
passing this Code Amendment. Many people complain of too much government control over our
lives. Can you make this limiting of rules and regulations start at the City level?
Thank you for listening to us.

From: Tom Grote, The Star-News
Re: Possible Open Meeting Violation
Good Day!
It has come.to may attention that the council-riiay have violated the Idaho Operi Meeting Law
during its-executive session on personnel held on May 24, 2U12.
I have been told that during the session, general discussion was held on the procedure and
specifications for hiring a new city manager. This would be violation of the following statute:
67-2345.Executive sessions-When authorized.
(1) (a) To corisider hiring a public officer, employee, staff inember or individual agent,
whereiri the respective qualities of individuals are to be evaluated in order to fill a particular
vacancy_or need. This paragraph does not apply to filling a vacancy in an elective office
or deliberations about staffing needs in general.
Please let me know if you wish to "self-recognize" a violation as provided for by IC 67-2347
(7) and provide the appropriate "cure" as outlined by statute.
I have attached a copy of the Attorney General's Open Meeting Law Handbook for your
reference.
Relevant pages are Page 29,Page 32 and Page 41.
Thank you. - Tom G.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement confains the entire understanding
City Prosecution Agreement--Page 2
U
�` As to your question about the use of county facilities, if you had a working
� relationship with your elected Clerk Archie Banbury there would be no need to ask me
� such a question. Since.you do not have a good working relationship with your elected
Clerk, I will educate you on this issue. Both the cities of Cascade and McCal! have.?a
� fee arrangement with Vailey County for tfie use of the court services and courtrooms: I
have never been involved with the. negotiation of these;fee agreements, but I believe it
R� is a percentage of the court fees charged in each case. Should you desire records�or
� specifics as to what the cities pay, you will have to request those from Clerk Banbury or
l� the cities themselves. In short, both Cascade and McCall pay for use of the court
U rooms and services.
Most of the worK on the prosecution contracts Williams Law, P.L.L.C. holds
occurs at 119 Bogie Ln, Cascade, Idaho, or at 114 E. Spring St., Cascade, Idaho, or
other locations outside of Valley County buildings. At times either I, or other attorneys
paid by Williams Law, P.L,L.C. will meet with victims, defendants, or officers in #he
conference rooms outside of the courtrooms. .This is standard practice for just about
every attorney who attends hearings in Valley County. Shou(d you seek to charge
Williams Law, P.L.L.C. for the occasional use of those rooms, you will have to begin
charging nearly every private attorney who appears in court rn Valley County, as.well as
many of the individuals coming to court representing themselves in small claims cases.
Unless you are going to, charge admission at the door to the courtroom, you cannot
single out Williams Law, P.L.L.C. for the occasional use of these rooms.
, As county commissioners, it seems you often lose sight of the fact tax payers
living within:the city limits of Cascade and McCall are also Valley County tax payers.
Q}' Williams Law, P.L.L.C. is a fantastic.bargain for the taxpayers of McCall and Cascade.
Q� Their police departments receive excellent service for a:reasonable price and have
��' �� access to a level of criminal law experience and expertise unparalleled in small
� � departments. Williams Law, P.L.L.C. is performing the services for the City of McCall for
� less than the previous vendor charged in 2006: The previous vendor was a Boise
� based law firm.sending local taxpayer money to Boise rather than keeping that money
in the community with a local firm. Chief Ryan Redmon of the Cascade Police
Department contacted some.people to what it would cost to hire a replacement vendor
for prosecution services and was told it would cost at least 3 times the amount he was
currently being charged; Chief Redmon was also informed the service leve! would be
lower than the services the Cascade Police Department was currently receiving. One of
the individuals Chief Redmon called simply laughed and said there is no way he [Chief
Redmon] could replace the services for anywhere close to what they were paying.
There is no question the taxpayers of Valfey County are getting a good deal and their
tax dollars_are staying local going to a local firm.
Williams Law, P.L_.L.C, contracts witli attorney CaroF A; Brockmann for work she
pertorms on some of the cases. Just as with me;her work for Williams Law, P.L.L.C.:is
not connected to her employment as a deputy prosecuting attorney and the work is
Response to Chairman Cruickshank's January 2012 Letter-- Page 6
V�
pertormed on her separate equipment. The terms of the agreernent between Williams _
Law, P.L.L.C. and Mrs. Brockmann are not public record.
Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Brockmann is a very dedicated Valley County _
employee and works well over the 40 hours per week average she is required. As her
boss I have to constantly remind her of my directive not work over 45 hours without my
permission. Ali the attorneys in the Valley County Prosecuting;4ttorneys Office are
exempt employees by law and enjoy the luxury of professional scheduling. This means
they are not tied to a st�ict 10 hour day as long as they put in 40 hours each week.
Even with the recent restrictions I have placed on Mrs, Brockmann, she easily averages
above the required 40 hours per week for Valley County and often goes beyond.
The Valley County Prosecuting Attorney's Office cannot provide proof Valley
County is not absorbing costs because you cannot prove a negative. Valley Counry is
not absorbing any costs that I am aware of. As indicated above, the cities of McCall and
Cascade already pay for the use of the court services through their agreements.
Payment for these services does not involve rne at any level, ..The Valley County
Prosecuting Attorney's Office has no records to show Valley Gounty has paid for
anything involved with city prosecutions. The Valley County Prosecuting Attorney's
Office.has no records the cities haVe paid anything other what the Valley Oounty Clerk
may have that sfiows payment for use of the court facilities and services.
I do.not believe you have any right or ability to determine whether I have a part
time job fot an independent company outside of Valley County government: Further;
should you continue to try to intertere with my work for an outside company, I will be
forced to seek legal,action against you. The arrogance and retaliation you, and
especially Commissioner Moore, have exhibit toward me has created a series of events
which prove deliberate and illegal retaliation against me. You°should cease and'desist
any further attempts to intertere with my relationship with 1lUilliams Law, P.L.L:C;, and
Williams Law, P.L.L.C.'s relationships with the City of Cascade and the City of McCall.
Further:interference or attempted interference with a private company's private
contracts may result.in liability to.Valley County.
You_sent.your letter to me in my official capacity, and I have answered you back
in my official capacity. Should you request anyfurther information regarding Williams
Law, P.L.L.G., you should send your questions to Williams Law, P.L.L.C. at P.O: Box
438, Cascade, Idaho, 83611.
Sincerely,
�
Matthew C. Williams

� � ��� and I sat down and added up.our time,:Valley County was getting,the time of 3 attorneys
- between the hours the two of us were working for Valley County. I determined then the
board would do nothing about our staffing as long as we continued to work those hours.
Rather than allow you as a board to abuse my staff, I made some changes witfiin my
office. I ordered Carol Brockmann to reduce her hours and she is not to work more:than:
45 hours:a week without my perm'ission. `1
To say that I have only recently brought this issue up to you is_yet another blatant=1
lie.;,l would have gladly discussed my staffing concerns with you this year, but you
ignored the Clerk's suggested budget timeline and gave me no opportunity to express
my staffing concerns prior to your final determination on the budget. The board was
more concerned with trying to make a political point and justify a big raise than you were
in what the actual staffing needs might be in my office.
When other attorneys, especially civil attorneys, see the logistics of how my
office operates, they are astounded that I draft all the paperwork that I do. They are
surprised that f do not have a staff member to do the drafting of the mundane
paperwork for me. This is especially true.on civil cases as my support staff has zero
training to handle civil issues. The attorneys in the VCPA draft nearly all of the
paperwork outside of criminal discovery responses, criminal complaints, and probation
violations.
__ 1'he board should know civil cases take a lot of time, as you have authorized:the
� ', payment of approximately$300,000 for an:outside law firm to handle two (2) cases.
Civil cases are time consuming even when you liarie trained staff to assist on those
types of cases. The support staff in the Valley County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.is
not trained to handle civil cases. Even if rny staff was trained to handle civil matters,
� they do not have the time fo take on the added workload civil cases generate.
As:l indicated before;_it is unbelievable.you would expect my office to take.:on
$300,000 plus worth of civil work without any increase in my staffing: Your; and
especially Commissioner Moore's, completely unrealistic�budgetary'views are seriously �
flawed. Poor decision making concerning budgetary issues have become.the calling b �
card for this board. As a result, I am being#old�that you:as a 6oard are holding up.the v � nA�'
Sheriff's Office purchase of vehicles because you are now concerned, about whether '�" �f y'- "
there:will be enough money to:cover the time period betweeri October 201�2 and mid �,�C �
.January 2'013. It is�'a shame you did not listen..to me and others who warned you of:t�he �,�
conse,quences of your deep=budget cuts this lasf summer. Those warnings would have �' � '�
been recorded had a member of the board not instructed Clerk Archie Banbu to leave ,- '�( �
the recorder off during the budget correction hearing. I personally warned you no less h��''� ��
than three times at the budget correction hearing that you were cutting the budget too �(
tight and were putting Valley County's financial well being at risk. �
Even if the Valley County Prosecuting Attarney's.Office had the sfaffing, my office
woufd not be able to handle the board's civll issues at this time because of the pending

tort claim. :Commissioner Cruickshank was physically present in the courtroom when
Judge McLaughlin_agreed with me that there is a conflict between my office and:th"'e
board due to the board's aotions and my tort claim against Valley County for those
actions. This conflict is real and must be resolved before the Valley County Prosecut'ing
Attomey's Office can represent Valley County on civil issues.
As to the contracts for prosecution,`the Ciry of Cascade and the City of McCall
both�contract:for their,prosecution services with Wil(iams Law, P.L.L.C., which is�a
� business.entity.registered with the State of Idaho since 2008! As you may be aware,
professional limited liability companies are in fact their own entities and are distinct fro'm
���"� � any person. Since Williams Law, P.L.L.C::is not subject to any disclosure requirements,
J A� you will have to ask the cities involved for any copies.of_the contracts. I believe the.
n ��, r contracts would in fact be public records should you request such records,firom them. I
l�
personally hold no contracts for prosecution and hold no contracts on behalf of the
� Valley County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. Neither myself.or the Valley County
� Prosecuting Attorney's Office is in.any negotiations with any municipality to contract for
prosecution services.
Your assumption that any prosecution services I provide for the cities is related to
my elected office is misplaced and inaccurate: I personally began a relationship with
the City of Cascade in March of 2001, long before I'was ever elected as prosecuting
� �\: attorney, !n fact, 1 continued to prosecute#or the Gity of Gascade virhile I was ,
p contracting with Valley County to pertorm public defender services fram October:2002
until August 2004:-My providing of prosecution services did notcease.once my
employment with the Valley County Prosecuting Attorney's office ended in February
2001. If i were to resign my position today as the Valley County Prosecuting Attorney,
�Q, or if I were to lose an election and°no longer hold office as the Valley County
ff' Prosecuting Attorney, .the Vllilliams Law, P.L.L,C, contracts with the cities of McCall and
� �/ Cascade would remain intact. Those contracts are in no way related to my election or
hoiding of office as Valley County Prosecuting Attorney and are not handled through the
`'� Valley County Frosecuting Attorney's Office: They are-handled 6y Williams Law;
P.L.L:C., a private and distinct entity.
Williams Law, P.L.L.C. is a fully functioning law office and handles a wide variety
of cases. Williams Law has its own website, email;fax, phones, comp:uters, scanner.s; _
software, prinfers, business cards, and other business eguipment necessaryto function
as a law office. There have been many times; due primarily to Valley County's aversion
to spendi'ng money to keep up on current technology and equipment, Williams Law,
P.L.L.C. equipment has been used to help out on Valley County cases: Williams Law,
R.L.L.C. has allowed the use of its equipment on a limited bases in order to:better serve
the citizens of Valley County. Williams Law;:P:L.L.C.:tloes nof contract with any support
staff of the Valley County Prosecuting Attorney's Office for. any work necessary.to _
accomplish the requirements.of.the contract.

Mayor pon Bailey June 18,2012
City of McCall
216 East Park Street
Mc�all, Idaho 83638
Dear Mayor Bailey and Council Members,
It is ot�r t�nderstanding that Mart Wzlliams,the Valley County Prosecuting Attorney, is currently
in a contractual�elationship with your city to provide misdem�anor and infraction prosecution.
It is further our understanding that this is a private contract with the prosecutor;.as oppased to
one with the county. Since Idaho Code § 31-31 l� contemplates the unanimous approval��the
Cotinty commissioners before a parosecuting attorr�ey may enter into a contract wif`h a city,we�
began by looking for a record of such approval by prior board`s, Our research has turned up little
information. We have found no commissiorier resolution, and only limited minute records of
discussion on the subject. Those records t`hat we have found go baek several years. We can
recall no discussion with Mr:Williams on the subject since the current Board has been in office,
rior are'we aware of beirig showri any documents.pertaining to how, or everi if,the county is
reimbursed�or use of�ounty resources and persorinel to service the contract;
� �
�
We suspect that there lias been a rather loose arrar�gement between Mr:'Williams and prior
� � commissioners in.the.past an tliis 5ubject. We have no reason to think th:at the cities coritracted �
,� with have not received appropriate service. What we.are unclear about is whether or not this is
��N the besf anangemen�for county taxpayers.
✓�
With that in xnind,we wrote to the prosecutor in February of 2012 requ�sting informatiori, The
information we requested seemed both responsible and pertinent to the inquiry. We did not
believe fhat providing the information would be onerous to Mr. Williams,
Ariiong the information we sought was a copy o��he current contract wit��ach municipality,the
current termination date for eaeh contract, arrangements made with any county deputy
prosecutor as to assistance in tlie serviaing of the contracts, �nd hours a week dev.oted.to
� � �h�, "
�� 1"
^ ,� �
servicing the contiacts. We requested time-keeping records,information regarding ��U'' l,,V
admiriistrative, clerical arid victim seivice�vork on b�ehalf of the cities, and whetlier county ,��
�
employees provided those services:
What we got back fro.m Mr. Williams was pages of accusation, abusive language,implied
threats, and scorn. A copy of the corzespondence is enclosed with this letter. Need�ess to say,no
� documents of any lcincl were produced,not even copies of the current contracts.
Based on the obshuctive response from�VIr. Williams,we have no confidence that the county is �
well served by the possible utilization of county resources to service�ity contracts. Whaf we can
state is that neither IVIr. WiYliams nor the city approached us to discuss the mandatoiy terms.of§-,
31-3113 prior to entering into the contract.
The current state of affairs is untenable. While we have no wish to create harclship,we cannot
allow ourselves to be buffaloed into ignoring fhe matter. By this letter we inust place the city on

Valley County Prosecuting Attorney
P,0. Box 1350
Cascade, Idaho 83611 `�
. J✓ � -
Dear Prosecuting Attorney Matt Williams, �
It is our understanding that you are currently in a contractual relationship with one.or more�,
-- municipalities within Valley County to provide misdemeanor and infraction prosecution. It is further our
understanding that these are private contracts, as opposed to one with the county, Tfie recent arrest of
John Bujak for two counts of Grand Theft for alleged misappropriation of county funds and the
attendant scrutiny by the media regarding private contracts with prosecuting attorneys,the pending
Idaho Supreme Court case where Canyon County is.being sued for failure to p�oduce records in the
hands of the prosecuting attorney handling city rnisdemeanors,your recent public statements about�
how overwor.l<ed you and your staff'are, your recent request for additiorial staffing, and a recent
newspaper article on the sub}ect.have caused us to make inquiry as to the status of your handling of city -
misdemeanor prosecutions.
Since fdaho Code§31-3113 contemplates the unanimous approval of the county cornmissioners before
a prosecuting attorney may enter into a contract with a city,we began by looking for a record of such
approval by p�ior boards. Our research has turned up little information. We have found no
commissioner resolution, and only limited minute records of discussion on the subject. Those records
that we have found go back several years. We can recall no discussion with you on the subject since the
current Board has been in office, nor are we aware of being shown any documents pertaining to how,or
even if,the county is reimbutsed for use of county resources and personnel to service the contract,
We suspect that there has been a rather.loose arrangement between you and prior commissioners in
the past on this subject and do not seek to find fault. We have no reason to think that the cities you
have contracted with have not Feceived appropriate service. What we are unclear about is whether or
not this is a good bargain for�the county.taxpayers. That being the case,we ask that you cooperate with
our inquiry by responding in writing to our requests for information as soon as is practical. �'
;
�
First,will you provide us with a copy of the current contract with each municipality you have a
contractual relationship with to perform prosecutorial services?
What is the current termination date for each contract? Are you in discussion with any municipality to
renew one or more contract? .
What arrangements have you made with any county deputy prosecutor as to assistance in the servicing
of the contract,and what arrangements have been made regarding compensation? Are those
arrangements in writing,and if so will you provide us with a copy of them?
How many hours a week do you and your deputies or staff devote to servicing the contracts? Are time-
keeping records maintained, and if so will you provide us with copies for FY 2010 and 2011? During
those years, has there been any money paid to the county to offset the salaries of either you or your
deputies? If so,can you provide us with records of such?
Who performs the administrative,clerical and victim service work on behalf of the cities? If it is a
county employee,what arrangements have been made regarding time-keeping and compensation,and
are they in writing? If so, can you provide us with records of those arrangements and any
reimbursement to the county for the services of this person?
How have in�iderital prosecutorial costs,such as travel and expert witness fees been paid? What
records exist to assure us that the county has not been absorbing such costs? Can you provide them to
us?
Are county resources(such as supplies or equipment,computers and telephone)used to service the
contract? W:hat records exist to show that the cities pay for such resources? Can you provide them? Is
an office separate from the county used,or are county facilities used? Isthe county being reimbursed
for the use of its physical facilities?
Has there been past reimbursement to the county under prior contracts? If so,when did that status
change and how did that come about?
We hope you agree that these questions are both reasonable and responsible. We hope that this will
give us the information we need to begin our discussion about future decision making.
Thanlc you, .

This is an update on Public Works attempt to revise the existing McCall City Code(MCC)Title 6 and to
develop an accurate Water and Waste Water Policy.Public Worlcs desires to inform the City Council on
the status of these changes and to discuss more fully the bacicground oil how the Water and Waste Water
policies were crafted.
Currently inost of McCall City Code (MCC) Title 6 - Utility Services was written in 1993. This entire
section of code needs to be completely revised. Some revisions to the existing code have been crafted but
not yet finalized. Additions to the code also need to include cross-connection control and a mechanism to
adopt changes to utility specifications without needing approval from City Council. The Water & Waste
Water policies have not been approved since 2011. Both of these policies were crafted during high growth
n�, periods. During this time, two different methods were used to calculate remaiiiing wastewater EDU's.
��✓ Both of them were incorrect. The Water Policy was also crafted during the high growth period and was
,
�`� based upon Capital Improvements in the Water Master Plan Addendum developed by CH2M Hill. 1'h=�
