Building Department — Code Related Issues: Building Inspector Eldridge was concerned
about a letter received by Council last month regarding his right of entry onto property. He
indicated he had stopped because a shed was placed too close to a propane tank, a safety and
code issue. He stated that anytime there is a code or safety issue he has right of entry according
to 2009 International Building Code adopted by the City. He spoke with the homeowner and
informed her of the code violation.
Council's concem was not the code but how the exchange occurred. Council Member Gubler
asked if Inspector Eldridge carried a photo ID and had a procedure to follow. Inspector Eldridge
and Director Prouse would get photo ID's and work together when approaching citizens. Mayor
Andersen asked that any employee concerns be brought to him and the employee involved.
Mayor Andersen appointed Council President Walker as Building Department Liaison.
Park/Shelter/Building Use Fees Resolution Discussion: Council Member Geray presented
updates to Resolution #2013-01 Shelter Rental Fees and Resolution #2009-3 Building Rental
Fees.
Council considered a deposit on the shelters, policing of the parks by City Council Members and
the Mayor, as well as a 50% discount for Iona Residents. After discussion Council agreed the
most feasible approach would be to offer Iona Residents a discount on the shelters because they
already support the parks through property taxes.
Council also discussed and agreed to an increase in the building rent from $35 to $40 per hour
for the Multi -Purpose Hall or the City Council Room and $70 per hour for both rooms with a
discount of 25% for Iona Residents.
Council Member Geray moved to approve the building and shelter fees as modified. Council
Member McNamara seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried.
Review of Planning & Zoning's (P&Z's) Area of Impact Draft Letter: Council reviewed and
accepted P&Z's Area Impact draft letter with the following changes:
Section 9, No. 1 add or 60' with curb and gutter.
Section 9, No. 10 remove R-1.
4
Solid Waste Franchise Ordinance Discussion: The Solid Waste Franchise Discussion was
tabled until next month giving Council more time to review.
Taxing Disparity Letter — County vs City: Council reviewed a Taxing Disparity letter drafted
by Council Member Geray.
Council Member Gubler was concerned about legislature's involvement when it is the City that
establishes the tax.
Council Member Geray indicated it would bring attention to the taxing disparity between
counties and cities and hopefully promote a periodic rebalancing.
Seth Griggs of the Association of Idaho Cities (AIC) was very interested in the letter. Council
Member Geray may present the letter at the upcoming AIC District Meeting, Thursday,
November 13th in Idaho Falls at the Hilton Garden Inn.
Trunk or Treat: Mayor Andersen, Council President Walker, Treasurer Sullivan, Clerk
Hammond, and members of the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council (MYAC) would be helping
with Iona's Trunk or Treat on Friday, October 31, 2014 from 5:30 to 6:00 p.m.
Veteran's Day Program: The Korean War is the theme for this year's Veteran's Day Program.
It will be held on November 11, 2014 at the Iona City Building at 7:00 p.m. with light
refreshments being served. Any suggestions for singers, opening, or closing prayers are to be
directed to Council Member Geray. Council Member Gubler is available to help with the event.
Reports
Public: Ryan Walker was concerned with the dumping of debris in ditches that was addressed in
September's Newsletter. His neighbor continues to put debris in the ditch which he has to clean
out to get his water. The new Police Chief will address code enforcement as soon as he arrives.
Public Works Department: Director Prouse reported he was working with City Attorney
Storer on Jerry Hansen's Annexation Agreement for the property at 49th North and 55th East. If
Mr. Hansen is not willing to sign and agree to the subdivision responsibilities, the City may have
to de -annex the property.
Director Prouse reported that a water test came back indicating coliform. The determination was
the Denning Ave Extension and the hydrant flushing stirring up sediment. He is correcting the
problem with the annual chlorination of the water system.
The Smith-Huer Property Warranty Deed didn't include ownership of the access road to the
property the City is considering purchasing for future placement of a well and/or water tank.
Director Prouse is still working on a possible prescriptive easement.
Building Department: Building Inspector Eldridge reported five homes in September and two
so far in October. So far this year there are 33 new home permits and 66 other permits, running
about 30 inspections a week since the Parade of Homes is over.
5
Letters were sent out reminding people of their permits that are ready to expire if they don't
contact the Building Department for an inspection.
Council: Council President Walker and Iona Elementary were concerned about overgrown
weeds in the ditch between the school and Ashwood Property Owners. Director Prouse
suggested 18" piping with cleanouts every 100'. Council President Walker suggested a spring
and fall cleanout. Director Prouse would put it on the sterilization list.
Mayor: Mayor Andersen reminded everyone of the AIC District Meeting on November 13,
2014 at the Hilton Garden Inn from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.
Meeting Adjourned 9:22 p.m.
