Meghan Minshall, 903 N 1St St, Huckleberry Garden Owner spoke in person at the meeting.
Ms. Minshall commented on the approval of Natural Grocers opening in the community. Ms.
Minshall noted disappointment in finding out about the approval in the paper and the lack of public
noticing. Planning and Zoning previously responded to questions from Ms. Minshall noting all
legal requirements for public noticing were followed. Ms. Minshall also questioned the city code
around franchises.
Will Minshall, 903 N 1St St, Huckleberry Garden Owner spoke in person at the meeting.
Mr. Minshall voiced concerns with the steps for signing up for public comment stating that policy
is not clear on website for public comments. Mr. Minshall commented opposition to Natural
Grocers' application approval and the potential application from Maverik. Public noticing is
cryptic at best and should be clear in less legal terms for the general public.
Joey Petri, 225 Valley Springs Rd, spoke in person at the meeting.
Mr. Petri expressed concern about the greater good of the community and the process of
corporations coming into the community. He felt that Council needs to be accountable to the
community and work with the County to avoid deals that maximize density.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Giles closed the comment period at 5:50p.m.
REPORTS
1
Chamber of Commerce
Chamber of Commerce Director Lindsey Harris present an overview of the Chamber of Commerce
report to Council. Director Harris noted that the Chamber is always available to businesses and the
city to discuss code and education as it relates to businesses in the community. Director Harris
highlighted other communities forming coalitions between county, city, business associations and
chamber of commerce to make sure all oars are all rowing in the same direction with growth.
Additional highlights included a Winter Carnival update and positive feedback from the
community surrounding the event.
Council Member Nelsen commented on the torch light parade, noting the event really portrays the
community of McCall and has a local flare. Director Harris thanked Council Member Nelsen for
being a part of the event.
Council Member Maciaszek thanked Director Harris for all the hard work. Mayor Giles
appreciates the Chamber and the ability to adapt for the future. Director Harris emotionally noted
that building a snow sculpture was humbling and to be able to share the experience with visitors
who may not have the greatest memories here and being able to create amazing new memories for
and with them is a wonderful feeling.
Department Reports
City Manager
Council Member Nelsen commented on the zip code 83638 hitting 70% for full vaccination rate.
One of the biggest efforts put out by the city has been education on vaccination and the percentages
reported show the efforts are working and it is something to be proud of. Council Member Nelsen
also emphasized the priorities mentioned at the Council Retreat.

Airport
City Manager Anette Spickard introduced the new airport manager, Emily Hart. Manager Hart
commented that there has been a lot of support from the community, staff and AAC, and looks
forward to a solid future with the City of McCall.
City Clerk
Council Member Thrower commented concern on the licenses report noting the amount of STRs
being reported. Council Member Maciaszek and Council Member Nielsen agreed with Council
Member Thrower.
Community Development
Council Member Nelsen asked Community and Economic Development Director Michelle
Groenevelt if there have been comments, other than the public comments heard tonight from the
public regarding the public noticing and agenda for the Natural Grocer item. Director Groenevelt
noted that Communication Manager Erin Greaves has been working with planning staff to be more
active with social media and news posts to the website to talk about land use items even though
the legal requirements are currently met for all applications. Manager Greaves commented that the
city has received over 200 responses to a community survey put out through the textmygov tool
and Staff is continually working to improve communication with the public. Director Groenevelt
noted the legal requirements for public hearings and how staff is exploring larger physical noticing
above and beyond the legal requirements. The Notices within the newspaper are standard legal
requirements and not necessarily easy to read. Attorney Nichols commented that typically the
biggest issue is that the address to the parcel is not in the public notice. However, Attorney Nichols
noted that the Natural Grocer public noticing did include the address and the owners of the property
referring to a comment made during the public comment section of the meeting. Mayor and
Council can determine if the City wants more noticing in the future above and beyond what is
required legally but it is important to have uniformity in the process. Director Groenevelt clarified
for Council that the City Code regarding formula businesses has two exceptions, gas stations and
grocery stores. Additionally, the Natural Grocer application that went in front of Planning and
Zoning was not a Conditional Use Permit but a Design Review and Scenic Route Review. Natural
Grocers will not have to go through Planning and Zoning for land use issues as their land use is
already permitted within the zone the community commercial zone.
Library
Council Member Thrower is excited about the doing democracy program offered at the library and
the most recent topic addressed regarding plastic use. The City has a green purchasing policy, but
Council Member Thrower would like to look at what the city can do for a waste reduction plan,
specifically noting the permitting process for events such as Winter Carnival.
Council had no further comments or questions related to the Department Reports.
Council Reports
Council is utilizing a new format to report any information each Councilmember may have to share
with the rest of Council regarding committee liaison duties.
Council Member Maciaszek noted that the McCall Redevelopment Agency is in the process of
building up the new downtown west district and wrapping up the Brown Park project.
Additionally, previous chairman Rick Fereday retired, and Council Member Maciaszek was
appointed as the new chairman for McCall Redevelopment Agency.

February 10, 2022 Regular Meeting
Council Member Nielsen noted the Winter Recreation Committee discussed the lack of snow and
snowmobiles and snow bikes going off trails; communication to visitors is a hot topic for the
committee currently.
Council Member Nelsen, Council Member Thrower and Mayor Giles all had no updates for
Council.
Covid-19 Report
Police Chief Justin Williams presented an update regarding Covid-19 to Council. The State is still
under crisis care except for the St. Luke's Health System. Statewide there are currently 741
ventilators available, 11 ICU beds available, and 75 current ICU admissions that have confirmed
Covid-19. The weekly case rate for Valley County is 108, down from 102 reported at the previous
Council meeting and Valley County is still considered a high transmission rate area. The city is
operating by appointment and curbside delivery only at this time with masks required inside city
facilities.
Council did not have any questions or comments for staff related to the Covid-19 update.
AB 22-039 Airport Advisory Committee (AAC) Annual Report
Charles Jones, Chair of the McCall Airport Advisory Committee (AAC), presented an annual
report to City Council regarding the accomplishments of 2021 and selected focus items from the
AAC for upcoming years. The Airport Advisory Committee is established pursuant to Idaho Code
Section 50-210, to advise and make recommendations to the McCall City Council on matters
pertaining to the safety, operation, and maintenance of the McCall Municipal Airport.
Mr. Jones congratulated Emily Hart on her new position as Airport Manager and reported that the
entire AAC is looking forward to working with Manager Hart. The AAC expressed thanks to City
Manager Anette Spickard for the effort put forth on the interview process and including the AAC
in that process. Mr. Jones reviewed statistics from the airport including flight operations and
financials. The Airport Master Plan is a 20 -year business plan complete rewrite with one more
comment period before going to the FAA for final approval. Mr. Jones reported that the airport
open house in 2021 was very successful and the AAC is looking forward to the 2022 open house
on June 25th. Additional airport projects to start in 2022 include new hangers being built at the
airport, a runway rehabilitation, and the construction of the east -west taxiway.
Council Member Nelsen asked what the projected growth for flight operations is expected to be in
ten years. Mr. Jones noted that the projected numbers are included in chapter 4 of the Master Plan
and can be found on the city website. Manager Spickard noted that there will be a work session
with Council before the Master Plan is finalized with the FAA.
BUSINESS AGENDA

AB 22-032 Request to Approve Task Order 21-16A: Deinhard Lane, SH-55 to Samson Trail
Improvements — Final Design Scope of Work
Public Works Director Nathan Stewart presented to Council. Horrocks Engineers, on behalf of the
City and ITD District 3 (D3), has completed the preliminary design of Deinhard (from SH-55 to
Samson Trail) and SH-55/Deinhard Intersection Improvements Project. This collaborative effort
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL
February 10,2022 Regular Meeting
Page 5 of 11
was formalized in Resolution 21-26, approved by City Council on July 8, 2021. ITD and the City
have reviewed the preliminary design plans and confirmed funding is currently available based on
Horrocks' engineering estimate. The project is now ready to proceed to final design and project
bidding. The total cost of the task order is $194,545, of which the City will be responsible for
$117,943 which is for work principally focused on the Deinhard Lane right-of-way and ITD will
be responsible for —$76,602 which is for work principally focused on the SH-55 right-of-way. ITD
has provided the City with written confirmation they will reimburse the City for their portion of
the design work. Approving the task order will allow Horrocks to progress with design work to
keep the project on schedule, while ITD formalizes their subsequent Cooperative Agreement (CA)
for Final Design which will mirror the conditions outlined in the preliminary design CA. Once
finalized, staff will present the final design CA at a subsequent City Council meeting.
Council Member Nelsen thanked Director Stewart and commented on the site plan noting that the
businesses on Deinhard will be the most impacted by the expected site plan. Director Stewart does
not foresee any issues regarding the impact on businesses besides some additional grading needed
on the Les Schwab property for water drainage. An important component that will have impacts
on private property is the need for an easement on the Simplot owned Marketplace and Builders
First Source properties and those property owners have already been contacted.
Council Member Nelsen moved to Approve Task Order 21-16A and authorize the Mayor to
sign all necessary documents. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a voice
vote Mayor Giles, Council Member Nelsen, Council Member Nielsen, Council Member
Maciaszek, and Council Member Thrower all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-034 Request Approval of Amendment #2 to the GMP Contract with CM Companv
for Parks Relocation Project
Parks and recreation director Kurt Wolf presented to Council. CM Company bid a Pre -
Manufactured Steel Building (PEMB) last spring. The building was then ordered from the
responsive low bidder on June 17, 2021. CM Company then held a public bid opening on July 13,
2021 for all remaining portions of the project. There were 21 responsive bidders for the 17 different
bid packages associated with the remainder of the project. CM Company compiled the responsive
low bidders and assigned a place holder number to the Bid Packages that did not receive bid
numbers. To better understand the market and secure additional numbers for the remaining
portions of the project, the team decided to hold off on awarding or allocating funds for non -time
sensitive portions of the project and re -bid those portions of the project during the winter months.
CM Company re -advertised the remaining portions of the project for bid in December 2021 and
held a bid opening on January 06, 2022.
Council had no comments or questions.
Council Member Nelsen moved to Approve Amendment #2 to the GMP Contract with CM
Company for the Parks Relocation Project in the amount of $1,520,020 and authorize the
Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Thrower seconded the motion. In
a roll call vote Mayor Giles, Council Member Nelsen, Council Member Maciaszek, and
Council Member Thrower all voted aye, Council Member Nielsen voted no, and the motion
carried.

February 10, 2022 Regular Meeting
AB 22-038 Local Housing Structure Donation and Relocation Project and Direction to Staff
on Ownership
Community and Economic Development Director Michelle Groenevelt presented to Council. The
property owners at 111 W Lake Street plan to redevelop the site which involves a demolition of
the existing house and the associate accessory structure which is often referred to as "The Toaster".
They have received entitlements for their new project and agreed to donate the small structure to
the City of McCall. At the December 16, 2021 Council meeting, staff presented an overview of
the project to understand if the City Council wanted to accept the donation of the accessory
structure and the Council unanimously agreed to the acceptance and directed Staff to further
develop a plan for the relocation of the Structure for a Local Housing Unit.
Since the December 16, 2021 Council meeting, a site plan was developed by Building Inspector
John Powell, engineering estimates were prepared by Crestline Engineers to determine site prep
and infrastructure costs and, a more formal estimate from the movers was obtained. Staff also spent
time with legal on ownership options and talked extensively to a housing non-profit about
numerous project management/ownership scenarios.
City Planner Brian Parker was able to get an updated cost estimate from Pacific Movers which is
about $24,000 contingent on -site visit and evaluation. Building Official Powell laid out a site plan
for the toaster and ensured it would meet all the development standards. The project would be split
into two phases. Phase one would include moving the structure and address site work and
infrastructure. Moving the structure is time sensitive because the owners need it moved this spring
to start construction on the property the toaster currently sits on. Staff is also considering a $50,000
GEM grant to help fund the project. Phase two would include remodel, foundation, and
landscaping. Phase two is less time sensitive and has potential for community involvement.
Staff has discussed possible project management options concluding that in house project
management is not currently a viable option and would need to be outsourced due to limited
staffing. The Housing Company was contacted regarding the project to see if there was interest for
the housing nonprofit to be involved in the project management. Both options for project
management brought before council would involve the City retaining ownership of the land.
Option one, the city would also maintain ownership of the structure and require the city to finance
the project. Option two, would turn ownership of the structure over to The Housing Company and
allow The Housing Company to secure outside financing for the project.
Mayor Giles commented that the council is very excited about the project and the creativity of
staff and asked staff which option staff recommends. Director Groenevelt noted that ultimately
this is a council decision and with option two there is a financial implication with city ownership
whereas a nonprofit would have more funding options. Option one would still need to have project
management contracted out, both options would also need long-term management contracted out.
The major implication in deciding is the financing and who is responsible for the financing the
remodel of the structure.
Council Member Thrower asked Director Groenevelt about the gem grant for financing toward
option one, but the grant is not listed for option two. Director Groenevelt clarified that both options
are viable for the GEM Grant. Staff believes if the GEM Grant is approved phase one of the project
would be funded this fiscal year. Council Member Thrower questioned The Housing Company
taking over the ownership of the building and how that would be worked out. Director Groenevelt
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 11
February 10,2022 Regular Meeting
noted that the property owners would need to be addressed in the donation paperwork for the
structure.
Council Member Nielsen asked if The Housing Company is the same company who responded to
the RFP for the parcel the structure would sit on when that parcel was owned by McCall
Redevelopment Agency. Director Groenevelt confirmed that The Housing Company did respond
the RFP put out by the MRA and that is why staff contacted The Housing Company for the current
project. The Housing Company did not have a favorite ownership scheme but has helped the City
Staff work through the project to bring the best options to Council.
Council Member Nielsen asked if it would be a possibility to build an additional unit on the parcel
in question. Director Groenevelt confirmed there is potential to build an additional unit but there
may be a decision to mitigate wetlands. The current site plan was drawn up to potentially add an
additional unit in the future. Council Member Nielsen additionally asked about if the project would
hinder any pedestrian activity in the area. Director Groenevelt noted that City would own the parcel
and easements could make for a pathway if needed in the future but is not part of this initial
conversation. This conversation is about the financial feasibility of this project and figuring out all
the details. Council Member Nielsen expressed not being comfortable with making an ownership
decision at this point in time. He asked if the Council could move the structure without making an
ownership decision at this time. Director Groenevelt commented that its more effective to move it
once instead of twice and ownership decides what entity funds different phases of the project.
Council Member Nielsen asked if developing this parcel in another way besides the one -bedroom
unit would be more impactful. He also asked if there was a way to get more units on the parcel for
comparable price to accepting and moving the donated structure and the renovations needed to
make it a livable structure. Director Groenevelt noted that it is doubtful with the market today to
be able to accomplish more units for a lower cost and this project will not prevent future units.
Mayor Giles noted that the decision was made by Council previously to accept the structure
donation. This project has a tight timeline and Council has due diligence to consider and keep the
project moving forward.
Council Member Maciaszek favors ownership of the structure staying with the City and not a
nonprofit or management company. Moving forward with option one has a lot of value and keeps
the project cleaner. Council Member Nelsen agreed. Council Member Thrower also agreed and
noted that option one does offer flexibility for the City to sell the structure to another entity in the
future. Council Member Nielsen agreed with all the points made on option one but wants to ensure
all the questions are asked and answered before the City writes a check. Additionally, Council
Member Nielsen appreciates all the work put in by staffon this project. Mayor Giles is comfortable
with option one.
Director Groenevelt appreciated the clear direction from Council to staff and added clarification
on the structure remodel. The house has two bedrooms, and the remodel is to add a kitchen and
not necessarily removing any of the bedrooms. Staff will explore these options and bring the item
back to Council at a future meeting.
AB 22-037 Request to Adopt Resolution 22-06 approving the submittal of an Idaho GEM
Grant Application to support local housing and designating the Economic
Development Planner as the Grant Administrator
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 11
February 10,2022 Regular Meeting
Economic Development Planner Delta James presented the GEM Grant application to Council.
The Idaho Department of Commerce offers grants of up to $50,000 through its Idaho GEM Grant
program which provides assistance to rural communities for the planning and implementation of
economic development projects that are directly tied to job creation. The program is open to any
rural community with a population of 10,000 persons or less. A local match of at least 20%
($10,000) is required and would be provided from the City of McCall's FY22 adopted budget
already allocated to support the city's local housing program. The property owners at 111 W Lake
Street have agreed to donate to the city an existing Accessory Structure on the property which is
often referred to as "The Toaster" so long as the structure is relocated in the early part of the 2022
building season. The city -owned parcel on Davis Ave. has been identified as a suitable location
for the structure's relocation. Requested funding from the Idaho GEM Grant program would help
support the costs of relocation of the structure and preparation of the site at its new location. Upon
completion, the dwelling unit will be deed and/or lease restricted in accordance with the city's
local housing program to provide local workforce housing. The Idaho GEM Grant program
requires that a Resolution be adopted that confirms the City's approval of the grant application and
designates a grant administrator. Resolution 22-06 designates the city's Economic Development
Planner as grant administrator, should it be awarded.
Planner James explained that this is not a typical application for this grant and the process for this
grant is very competitive. City staff would like to apply for the full amount of $50,000. She stated
that the City should know whether they were awarded in about 5 or 6 weeks which will be with-
in the timeline for the current property owners.
Council had no questions or comments regarding the grant application.
Council Member Thrower moved to Adopt Resolution 22-06 approving submittal of an
Idaho GEM Grant application to support local housing and designating the Economic
Development Planner as the grant administrator and authorize the Mayor to sign all
necessary documents. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a roll call vote
Mayor Giles, Council Member Nelsen, Council Member Nielsen, Council Member
Maciaszek, and Council Member Thrower all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-30 Request to approve submittal of a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program application
to support seismic analysis of the Public Works facility
Community and Economic Development Planner Delta James presented the request to submit a
grant application for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funding. She stated that the
funding is available through the Idaho Office of Energy Management for planning or construction
activities that mitigate future hazards and are consistent with an adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Seismic analysis of public facilities is listed as a "high priority" in the 2020 Valley County Multi -
Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan and is identified as a recommended action of the 2020
McCall Public Works Facility Master Plan. In keeping with these plans, an application for HMGP
funding is recommended to support the costs to conduct a Tier III Seismic Analysis by a licensed
engineer of the Public Works facilities at 815 N. Samson Trail. This analysis will provide data to
assess the costs and scope of seismic remediation actions as compared to costs of reconstruction
of these facilities. The total estimated cost of the seismic analysis is $45,780. HMGP funds can be
requested for up to 75% of this cost ($34,335). The local 25% matching balance ($11,445) will be
allocated from the FY22 Public Works facilities budget. Staff submitted a required pre -application
for this grant program on Dec. 7, 2021 and has received an invitation to submit a full application
by March 31, 2022.
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 9 of 11
February 10,2022 Regular Meeting
Council had no questions or comments related to the grant application.
Council Member Nelsen moved to approve submittal of a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
application to support completion of a seismic analysis of the Public Works facilities and
authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Thrower seconded
the motion. In a roll call vote Mayor Giles, Council Member Nelsen, Council Member
Maciaszek, and Council Member Thrower all voted aye, Council Member Nielsen voted no,
and the motion carried.
AB 22-035 Request to Approve Resolution 22-02 Adopting the Amended Personnel Policy
Manual Recognizing Juneteenth as a Holiday
Human Resource Manager Traci Malvich presented to Council the request to amend the Personnel
Policy to add Juneteenth as a holiday. The Mayor and Council adopted the current Personnel Policy
Manual in January 2021. On June 17, 2021, President Joe Biden signed into law the Juneteenth
National Independence Day Act recognizing June 19 as a legal public holiday. Idaho Governor
Brad Little issued a proclamation on June 17, 2021, recognizing Juneteenth as a new legal holiday
in Idaho Code. Based on the amended code we need to update our policies and amend them if they
reference any of the following:
1. Idaho Code 73-108 General Code Provision, Construction of Statutes, Holidays
Enumerated
2. Idaho Code 67-5302 State Government and State Affairs Personnel System
The presented Personnel Policy Manual has been amended to add Juneteenth (June 19) as a
recognized holiday for the City of McCall. Any legal holiday that falls on Saturday, the preceding
Friday shall be a holiday and any legal holiday that falls on Sunday, the following Monday shall
be a holiday. No additional revisions were made to the Personnel Policy Manual.
Council Member Nelsen asked if the holiday was recognized as a federal holiday. Manger Malvich
noted that in 2021 Juneteenth became a federal and state recognized holiday.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to Approve Resolution 22-02 adopting the amended
Personnel Policy Manual recognizing Juneteenth as a Holiday and authorize the Mayor to
sign all necessary documents Council Member Nelsen seconded the motion. In a roll call vote
Mayor Giles, Council Member Nelsen, Council Member Nielsen, Council Member
Maciaszek, and Council Member Thrower all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-036 Request to Approve Resolution 22-05 Adopting the 2022 Governance Manual
Update
City Clerk BessieJo Wagner presented to Council. At the January 28th Council Retreat, it was
identified that the Governance Manual needed to be updated clarifying the use of City email. The
update amends page 11 of the adopted 2021 version of the Governance Manual. Staff has suggested
some added language to the Governance Manual that will make it clear that the use of email for
city business must only be via the city issued accounts. This makes it easier for retention purposes
and protects the Council's personal emails from being subject to records requests. After review of
the proposed changes, Council directed staff to prepare a resolution to adopt the Governance
Manual Update as proposed.
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 10 of 11
February 10, 2022 Regular Meeting
Clerk Wagner noted that when the agenda was amended earlier in the week, Resolution 22-05 was
no longer identified as an action item due to technical difficulties posting the Amended Agenda.
She explained that the Resolution can come back on the next Council Meeting on the Consent
Agenda if Council has no changes.
Council had no questions or comments regarding Resolution 22-05 or the recommended changes
to the Governance Manual.
Upcoming Meetings Schedule Discussion
Council discussed upcoming meetings.
Council Member Nielsen asked if the Council would like to add a building moratorium discussion
to the meeting schedule. Council Member Nelsen and Council Member Thrower agreed they
would like to learn more about a building moratorium. Council Member Maciaszek is not in favor
of a building moratorium discussion. Mayor Giles suggested utilizing a scheduled tentative
meeting to address the topic of a building moratorium.
The Council agreed to schedule an educational discussion on building moratoriums on April 7,
2022.

Mather Road Mccall ID 83638 "To the McCall City Council,Public beaches, docks, parks
should be left open for the public and not used for private enterprise. Slowly, quietly these areas
are eroding under the weight of lake access by private concerns as McCall becomes a sought
after resort destination. Yes I'm talking about Cheap Thrills jet skis in the public beach, park
space rental at the tiny legacy beach, canoe rental on state beach property and now a pedal -boat
in the cramped area between Mays Marina and the sheriff dock. That permanent fixture there
will take up public boat docking rights and restrict the small beach swimming area. Each thing
seems small on its own but it's not. Together and endlessly it all just crowds the public out. Let
private enterprise rent from private docks. I really thought the McCall City Council was better
than this. Please reconsider. The water and beaches are already so crowded.
Sincerely,
Julie Murphy"

Camas PI McCa11ID 83638 Re: Payette Lake Pedal Boat Concession decision. Dear
Council Members: Like many, I just learned anecdotally of the above decision. The decision to
give a private concessionaire special access to public property is never a one to be taken lightly,
for the many reasons outlined in the comments submitted to you by Rick and Debbie Fereday.
We support their suggestion that this decision ought to be rescinded so that the council can
pursue the robust public discussion that the privatization of a public park warrants. Many thanks,
Lew & Colleen Ross

Brakes on any new PUD's and CUP's and make an Intelligent Cohesive Plan along with the
County. There is absoulutley no good reason to not take a Pause, right now.You are all elected
by people who trust you will direct the community with the greater good being pararamount in
your roles. You can almost guarantee the majority of the people would like to see slow sensible
directions to grow not maximizing for the wealthier developing few. Thank You "

3rd St McCa11ID 83638 Regarding the recent approval for Natural Grocers grocery store, it
seems the public hearing notices are less than adequate for public opinion and open forum. The
notice did not stipulate anything about a large corporation entering the market. It was keenly
disguised as a "specialty retailer" instead of the exempted "grocery store" as defined in the city
code. It did not mention Natural Grocers by name or the Pancake House, only a meager legal
description and cryptic message in a single issue of the Star -News. The average citizen does not
know how to read these notices, and the notices should not be written as a smoke and mirrors
stunt to aid corporate expansion. The public notices are to serve the people, not the applicant.
After watching the recording of the P&Z meeting that approved the application, there was no
public comment because of its lack of exposure. The meeting did not allow in person attendance
and required the public to download 3rd party software to voice. In summary, the open meeting
forums are lacking. If people don't have an opportunity to stand up for themselves, they will
never have faith in the local administration.
