SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The State of Idaho Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board allows for two (2) Outfitter Licensee’s permitted
through the State of Idaho on Payette Lake for ‘power boating’. In order to secure one of these license’s the
applicant must have permission via the State of Idaho Outfitters and Guides Licensing Board OG-10 Form
(attached) to launch a commercial vessel from the Cities Public Boat Ramp and perform business on Payette
Lake. The Applicant (Payette Lake Shuttles & Tours) is requesting to use the ramp to launch their boat at
the start and end of the season and in the situation where they need to do maintenance on the vessel during
the boating season. Their goal is to start operations during the 2021 season but could potentially kick off a
soft start late in the 2020 boating season. Once the applicant has secured the outfitters permit, they will
search for a US Coast Guard Inspected and Approved commercial vessel to operate shuttles and tours from.
Attached is an email summary from the applicant with a summary of their proposal along with example
images of similar boats used in commercial operation elsewhere. The applicant is not proposing to use City
owned public docks or waterfront properties to operate from and is currently researching and requesting
lease options with private property owners such as but not limited to Mile High Marina. Therefore, it is my
opinion that they do not fall within our guidelines for commercial activity in public parks outlined in City
of McCall Resolution 11-25 (attached).
The purpose of this action is to secure the one remaining outfitters license while it is available. Staff requests
that Council review and discuss the attached business proposal for shuttles and tours on Payette Lake and
the impacts it will have on the city boat ramp, the community and lake users, and Payette Lake’s commercial
operating capacity and make a motion on one of the following options.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Private Landowner’s Statement/Agreement form OG-10 permitting the applicant to launch a
commercial watercraft to be used for lake shuttles and tours at the start and end of each boating season and,
as needed, for maintenance on the vessel, and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
OR
Continue the discussion requesting additional information and justification regarding the impacts the
proposed activity will have on the operating capacity of Payette Lake.
