Valley County Commissioners canvass of the May 19, 2020 Special General Obligation

PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Giles called for public comment at 5:33 p.m.
City Clerk BessieJo Wagner read a letter submitted by David Simmonds, President of Big Payette
Lakes Water Quality Council. It states:
Comments on AB 20-173,Lake Management Study and Planning RFP
Dear Council Members and Staff,
The board of the Big Payette Lake Water Quality Council is in general support of a new effort by
the City and County to undertake a new lake management plan with broad scope. We look forward
to participating in depth in the upcoming public process, and feel we have a lot to contribute. It's
important to note at the outset that the 1997 Big Payette Lake Management Plan and
Implementation Program has the force of Idaho law under IC 39-66 and subsequent acceptance of
the plan in SB 1379 (1998). While that existing plan for Payette Lake was a carefully crafted,
bipartisan consensus effort, most would agree that the passage of time, new information, and
unforeseen pressures suggest an updated plan may be timely. The inclusion of Lake Cascade in
the scope of a new plan makes for a larger challenge,but the profound water quality issues of that
lake call for serious study and action. However, it's critical that any new lake plan is crafted and
enacted in a way that has authority and validity in the context of existing law. To do otherwise
would be a questionable exercise.As we understand it,a prudent course of action might be to work
with one of our State legislators to sponsor a bill which would direct the County and City to
conduct the relevant studies, then produce a plan, all to be accepted with the same force as IC 39-
66, thus updating State law. That route would provide the greatest clarity and authority for lake
management. Our Council is a free-standing nonprofit Idaho corporation, different than but a
successor to the statutory Council founded in 1993 by Peter Johnson through the Big Payette Lake
Water Quality Act, of which I was an original member. Our mission is the same, to protect and
sustain the water quality of Big Payette Lake.We're sure that we and the City have this in common.
Thank you for your consideration.
Hearing no comments,Mayor Giles closed the comment period at 5:37 p.m.

MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 4 of 10
June 18, 2020 Regular Meeting
funding from the Foundation is for the support of two McCall Outdoor Science School (MOSS)
internships with the City of McCall. The MOSS interns have been working with the CED Director
on two main projects: Greenhouse Gas Inventory/Climate Action Plan research and Analysis of
Urban Agriculture and Community Food Systems in McCall. She introduced MOSS Interns Anna
Lindquist and Casey O'Leary to present their projects and research. The final reports and
presentation will occur at the July 9 Council meeting.
Anna Lindquist presented her project of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories and Climate
Action Plans research. She shared information about Idaho's changing climate of the last 50+
years, other small mountain town research, and the purpose for doing the study. Part of her study
will include Emission Inventories on the Community Sectors of transportation, energy, solid
wastewater, and on Local Government Operations Sectors of facilities, street and traffic lights,
vehicle fleet, solid waste, water treatment and distribution, and employee commutes. She spoke
about the program she will use to collect the data that the City can use and the report she will
present when she has completed her project.
Casey O'Leary presented her project of an Analysis of Urban Agriculture and Community Food
Systems for McCall. She shared what the pandemic has brought to light with the problems with
the current system of giant crop productions and the benefit of supporting small, local food
systems. She discussed planning local food systems at the county and city level, view sheds, and
stated agriculture done well will reduce the carbon footprint. She identified the focus of her project
includes a review and assessment of city-owned land inventory for suitability for urban agriculture,
partnering with the Payette Land Trust to identify appropriate areas for conservation to support
long-term agriculture in the valley, review of City development code to better accommodate
agricultural uses and food production/distribution, farmer's market expansion, and exploring
greenhouse development partnerships.
Council Member Maciaszek expressed his appreciation of the presentations and the work they are
doing. Council Member Nielsen thanked them for their work and brought awareness to the
resources previously completed by the McCall Environmental Advisory Committee(EAC),which
both Ms.Lindquist and CED Director Groenevelt stated they were utililizing.Mayor Giles thanked
them for their presentations. CED Director Groenevelt gave a summation of the presentations.
BUSINESS AGENDA
AB 20-171 Request for Approval of Phase 2 Capital project of Buried Fiber Conduit
installation—Spring Mountain Boulevard with Deinhard Lane (Bid Alternate)
Information Systems Manager Chris Curtin presented the Phase 2 Capital project of Buried Fiber
Conduit installation on Spring Mountain Boulevard with the Deinhard Lane bid alternate. This is
a re-bid of the Phase 2 project. The previous bids for the project were rejected, and the scope of
the project was reduced to include Route #1 with Route #2 being a bid alternate. The project
consists of approximately 3 +\- miles of 3 x 1.25-inch conduit along Route #1. Route #1 is from
the Middle School on Spring Mountain Blvd to Lick Creek turning west and ending at Davis Street.
Route#1 includes connecting the Golf Maintenance and Golf Club House.Route#2 (bid alternate)
completes the Deinhard section begun in 2019 north from the bike path to Lakeview Street. Route
#2 includes Industrial Loop which will provide opportunity for Middle Mile connectivity.

June 18, 2020 Regular Meeting
This project provides three benefits: 1. Connecting city facilities securely and reliably to provide
access to the internal network and internet. 2. Unused conduit can be leased to third parties in the
community (school district, etc.). 3. This fiber backbone is an integral part of future municipal
fiber deployments to the citizenry.
The Invitation to Bid was published for several weeks in different manners on the website and in
newspapers. The bid opening was conducted on June 12, 2020 by the City Clerk. A bidders list
and bid documents were distributed to Council in their packets. The recommendation is to award
the base bid only to the apparent low bidder Idaho Site Prep.
Staff clarified this project would be just route one,what the route would entail,and future planning
for route two. Council Member Nielsen expressed concerned with the large cost spread between
the bids. Staff stated Idaho Site Prep is semi-local and will be in the area already whereas the other
bidders were from out of state. City Attorney Bill Punkoney addressed the large difference in the
bids and shared the research he did on the company and contract specifications. InfoSys Manager
Curtain stated the company is managed by the same person who worked under the awarded
contractor of last year and he felt confident the work would be accomplished as bid.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to accept the base bid from Idaho Site Prep, in the
amount of $340,435 and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council
Member Nielsen seconded the motion.In a roll call vote Council Member Maciaszek,Council
Member Nielsen, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Sowers all voted aye and the motion
carried.
AB 20-181 Request for approval to submit an Idaho Broadband CARES Act Grant
application to support 2020 implementation of RAPID
Economic Development Planner Delta James presented the Idaho Broadband CARES Act Grant
application to support 2020 implementation of RAPID. The State of Idaho has indicated it will
utilize $50M of its federal CARES Act allocation to support the installation of broadband
infrastructure in rural communities (less than 5000 population) through a competitive grant
program administered by Idaho Commerce. The final grant guidelines are pending but draft
eligibility criteria indicate that the City of McCall's broadband infrastructure improvements
(RAPID) planned for completion in calendar year 2020 will be eligible for grant support. While
local matching funds are not required,the City's grant application will leverage the City of McCall
FY20 budgeted allocation for RAPID implementation ($344,000) to increase grant
competitiveness.
2020 RAPID project implementation includes preparation of a strategic plan that identifies
approximately 8 miles of conduit installation, approximately 10 miles of fiber installation and the
possible roll out of one neighborhood level(15-20 homes) service with a total estimated budget of
approximately $1,050,000. The strategic plan is anticipated to be complete and presented to
Council this summer. The CARES Act grant application will be based on information from the
adopted 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan for the project. Staff clarified what projects the money
would be used for. There was no Council discussion.

AB 20-173 Review DRAFT-Lake Management Plan Request for Proposal and give Direction
to Staff
Community and Economic Development (CED) Director Groenevelt presented the draft Lake
Management Plan request for proposal (RFP). Valley County, Idaho may be seeking the services
of a qualified consultant to complete a Lakes Management Plan, including Lake Cascade, Payette
Lake, Upper Payette Lake, Little Payette Lake, Warm Lake, Horsethief Reservoir, Herrick
Reservoir, Boulder Lake, Deadwood Reservoir, and Alpine Lakes. The Plan will be an effort co-
managed by Valley County and City of McCall with collaborative input from Idaho Department
of Lands, U.S. Forest Services, State Parks, and other public agencies. While the Plan would be a
County wide plan,the City of McCall has interest in Payette Lake and is assisting to provide project
management, technical and financial resources for the Plan especially as it relates to Payette Lake
and the McCall Area planning jurisdiction. The Plan would provide the basis for policies,
ordinances, programs, and practices for the specific water bodies. A public involvement process
that uses a broad interest steering committee and numerous public outreach techniques to gather
public input should be developed. The DRAFT RFP was provided to the Council to review and
determine if they are interested in providing technical and financial resources towards the effort.
CED Director Groenevelt stated that she and Council Member Maciaszek attended the Valley
County Commissioners meeting held on June 17. Council Member Maciaszek shared he is pleased
with the progress on this project. Staff spoke to the changes to the contract and stated the draft will
be adjusted to reflect the changes but for the Council to not expect the final version until later in
the budget season, and briefly discussed next steps, financials, and a third-party consultant.
The Council shared their thoughts. Council Member Sowers feels that even though the City does
not know exactly the whole scope, it is a step in the right direction. Council Member Nielsen was
in favor but wondered if a larger portion of the funding will be put on the City and would like to
see additional studies done. Council Member Maciaszek felt a third-party consultant and a steering
committee is necessary and agreed with Council Member Nielsen about additional studies and
look at private funding sources. Staff addressed the public comment letter from David Simmonds.
Council Member Nielsen moved to continue the development of the Request for Proposal
and dedicate staff resources to work with Valley County. Council Member Maciaszek
seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nielsen, Council Member
Maciaszek,Mayor Giles, and Council Member Sowers all voted aye and the motion carried.
AB 20-182 Discussion- 2020 Special General OblilZation Bond Election Results for Library
Expansion Project and Direction to Staff
City Manager Anette Spickard presented the 2020 Special General Obligation Bond Election
results for Library Expansion Project. On May 19, 2020 City of McCall voters were presented the
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 10
June 18, 2020 Regular Meeting
question of issuing bonds for the Library Expansion Project. The bond measure failed to receive a
super majority of Yes votes but did receive approximately 64%Yes votes only failing by 29 votes.
Council Member Maciaszek expressed appreciation of the work done by Meg Lojek, Library
Director. He stated a lot of work has been done over several years to get to this point and he would
like to look at tightening up the plan and take it back to the voters again. He feels it is a valuable
asset for the community and the City and would love to see forward motion on making this happen.
Council Member Sowers feels the bond was a victim of timing and the pandemic as to why it
failed. He has heard talk of alternative location or a step process and felt people were a bit
overwhelmed by the cost. He is very supportive of this project and would like to take a more
streamlined approach to help get it accomplished.
Council Member Nielsen agrees with the others. He was surprised that it did not pass as there was
great support from the community and feels it still has a good chance of moving forward. He felt
all of the staff and volunteers had done a great job on educating the community on the benefits of
a better library. He would like to step back and assess the plan for going forward.
Mayor Giles stated he personally knows of five people who did not receive their ballots in time
that were in favor of the library. The voting process was very frustrating with the issues with
absentee voting. He gave brief history the Street Local Option Tax measure sharing it had failed
the first time and after more education, it passed the next time. He feels if the staff continues to
educate and advocate, he is hopeful it would be a success story. He is in support of forward
movement in the process of second attempt.
Library Director Meg Lojek summarized the Library Board's comments and they are disappointed
in the election results but the good news is the majority of the community supports the concept.
She has been on a listening tour to hear the comments of several staff members, the Library
Expansion Committee, McCall-Donnelly School District, the library ambassadors, the Bond
Council and Skinner Faucet, Ratio HPA Architects, the Library Foundation,and Friends of the
Library group. The combined consensus was clear, and the Library Board of Trustees agreed with
the communication all groups gave to make the effort to try again. The Board would like to
consider how to streamline the efforts required to get what is needed for the super majority
obligation and look at what the Library needs to take on.They would like to pursue a new initiative,
not drastically different,but find ways to clean it up,make it more Library centric and they would
like a work session with the Council to discuss details and feedback from the community members
who did not vote for it.
City Manager Anette Spickard clarified for the record the actual number of votes for and against
the measure: 707 votes for and 397 votes against.The date to meet the November ballot submission
is September 4 and the last Council meeting in which to make a final decision prior to that date is
August 27. The State statuesyis:
Ballot Question Submission Deadline: Political subdivisions must submit ballot language
(to the county clerk) for any bond, levy, initiative, referendum, or other question to be
placed on the ballot—for the Nov. 3 election. [§34-106, Idaho Code]
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 10
June 18, 2020 Regular Meeting
The Council discussed. Council Member Maciaszek is in support of gaining an understanding of
those who were not in favor and vet through the different concerns. He would like to make it a
priority. Council Member Sowers agreed and feels there may be the need for some small tweaks.
Council Member Nielsen agrees it is worthwhile to move forward to assess the realities and
possibly poll those who voted no. He was interested in what components would be involved to
make it more library centric. The Council consensus was to move forward and directed staff to
start the assessment process.
AB 20-184 2020 AIC Conference Update
City Manager Anette Spickard gave a brief overview of the Association of Idaho Cities (AIC)
conference. Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic the AIC Annual Conference was held as a virtual
conference this year. Mayor Giles, Council M_ember Nielsen', and herself attended. Due to the
virtual format, the City was able to cut costs for employee attendance. She attended classes
regarding City functions while the Mayor attended the elected official portion of the conference
and roundtable discussion. She shared was able to download the class content and pass on
important data to the different pertinent department staff for internal knowledge and training.
Those materials are available for the Council if they would like to review. Mayor Giles
commended the AIC for the excellent conference and stated he was impressed by other mayors'
creativity and will be reaching out to a few different people to learn more about some of the things
they have done for their communities.
AB 20-175 Discussion Regarding Boat and Trailer Parking in and Around the Mill Road
Parking Lot
Lieutenant Dallas Palmer presented information regarding the boat and trailer parking in and
around the Mill Road Parking Lot. During the close of the Council meeting dated June 4, 2020,
staff was directed to prepare a discussion regarding the parking issues at the Mill Road parking lot
area. The lot is utilized primarily for boat and trailer parking during the summer and becomes very
congested. He gave a brief overview of the process for enforcement and summarized staff
management and revenue generation of the self-pay system.He spoke to the street parking along
the boat ramp egress area where, in the past, vehicles would park along the area creating
immense congestion. In 2018, the Parks department put up more signs in both the parking lot
and the boat ramp area which substantially cut back on violators.
Council Member Maciaszek commented he had done a walkabout on Hemlock Street and Mill
Road with Parks & Recreation Director Kurt Wolf discussing the issues and felt many of his
questions were sufficiently answered. Council Member Sowers feels the area is just busy and was
not sure there was much more that could be done. He asked staff for input on other solutions and
Lieutenant Palmer felt the only thing that really could be done to mitigate the parking was to create
more parking space and answered questions regarding overparking. Council Member Nielsen
thanked staff for the overview.Mayor Giles was curious how much the fee was per night for a boat
trailer and staff clarified the fee was $15 a night and the violation fees are $20 or$25 per night.
COVID-19 Update
Lieutenant Dallas Palmer gave a brief overview of the COVID-19 pandemic.The numbers in Idaho
have increased from 2990 cases to 3540 cases which is a 18.4% increase since the end of May.
Idaho has entered into Stage 4 of the Governor's stay healthy guidelines which will run through
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 9 of 10
June 18, 2020 Regular Meeting
June 26. City facilities and businesses are open and operating with some restrictions and he
reported most businesses are compliant. Valley County will continue its communications and the
discussion has begun on the close of the emergency operating center, but the actual date will be
determined by the amount of infection spikes that transpire over the next weeks. In regard to
McCall, there was new case with a Shore Lodge staff person with possible exposure of
approximately 25-30 employees, so the hotel placed the staff in quarantine in the employee
dormitory and is providing all food and monitoring of those staff members. There is a concern of
spikes in infections due to the increase in visitors and travelers. Council Member Nielsen shared,
as of today, there are 111 new cases reported in the State. City Manager Anette Spickard stated
Central District Health(CDC) shared one of the confirmed positive cases in Adams County travels
to Valley County for work and CDC is conducting contact tracing. The CDC wants to push the
message that because Valley County has low numbers, it does not mean low risk and for people to
continue to use protective measures and be proactive.
Upcoming Meetinlzs Schedule Discussion
Council discussed upcoming meetings. The July 9 meeting will be switching back to in-person
meetings, however, the next three meetings will be held at the McCall-Donnelly High School
