6. AB 22-066 City Licenses Report to Council Per McCall City Code
Per McCall City Code Title 4 Chapter 9, the City Council has determined the City Clerk
shall be delegated the authority to process and grant or deny all alcoholic beverage license
applications, other than certain circumstances involving catering permits, which the City
Clerk shall review the application for catering permit for completeness and forward said
application to the Police Chief. The Police Chief upon receipt of the application shall make
a recommendation to the City Clerk to approve or deny the application. Whenever the City
Clerk shall determine that an application for alcoholic beverage license transfer or renewal
is complete, the City Clerk shall approve or deny such application. All decisions of the City
Clerk shall be reported to the City Council at the next regularly scheduled City Council
meeting after such decision. The City Clerk is also responsible for all processing of business,
taxi, snow removal, pawnbroker, child daycare licenses, vendor permits, and public event
applications. The City Clerk has updated the report to separate out short-term rentals (STR)
and to show the number of Declaration of Compliance (DOC) documents received. The City
receives more DOCs than business licenses for STRs because the property management
companies are taking on additional STR units. The City Clerk hopes this report tells a more
complete story. Action: Council to review the License report.

8. AB 22-071 Request to Proclaim April 17-23, 2022 As Volunteer Week in the City of
McCall
National Volunteer Week began in 1974 as a way to recognize and celebrate the efforts of
volunteers. Since then, the original emphasis on celebration has widened; the week has
become a nationwide effort to urge people to get out and volunteer in their communities.
Every April, charities and communities reinforce the week's official theme ("Celebrating
People in Action") by recognizing volunteers and fostering a culture of service. President
Richard Nixon established National Volunteer Week with an executive order in 1974. Every
sitting U.S. president since Nixon has issued a proclamation during National Volunteer Week,
as have many U.S. mayors and governors, urging Americans to give their time to community
outreach organizations. The City of McCall would like to recognize its many volunteers that
serve on the City's Committees, Commissions, and Boards. These volunteers are a
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 2 of 12
March 31, 2022 Regular Meeting
representative group of stakeholders from a particular segment of the community appointed
to provide comments and advice on city projects or issues. The City of McCall has standing
2 Boards, 3 Commissions, and 6 Advisory Committees which have a total of 64 volunteers
who serve from our community. Action: Proclaim April 17-23, 2022 As Volunteer Week in
the City of McCall and authorize the Mayor to sign the Proclamation.
9. AB 22-068 Request to Proclaim April 2022 as Fair Housing Month
The Idaho Department of Commerce asks each community in Idaho to publish a Fair Housing
Proclamation each April to raise awareness of everyone's entitlement to Fair Housing. Title
VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act), as amended, prohibits discrimination
in the sale, rental, and financing of dwellings, and in other housing -related transactions, based
on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age
of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody
of children under the age of 18), and handicap (disability). Action: Proclaim April 2022 as
Fair Housing Month in the City of McCall and authorize the Mayor to sign the Proclamation.
10. AB 22-065 Request to Adopt Resolution 22-09 for the Authorization of the

the destruction of documents and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
11. AB 22-069 Request approval of the 2nd revision of the Federal Aviation
Administration grant application to Reconstruct Taxiway D and Rehabilitate Runway
16-34 to include the fee for T -O Engineering services during construction - AIP 3-16-
0023-033-2022
The previous revision of AIP 033-2022 before Council addressed design services only (and
the removal of Taxiway E Reconstruction due to high costs). Construction and design costs
language was incorporated in the original grant, but the FAA requested construction language
be omitted in 2021 due to the continuing Master Plan process. Construction fee language must
be re -added to finalize grant language prior to awarding grant and commencing construction
in July 2022. Action: Approve the 2nd revision of the Federal Aviation Administration grant

34 to include the fee for T -O Engineering services during construction
12. AB 22-078 Request Approval of a Vendor Agreement with Idaho Department of
Health and Welfare for Low Income Home Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP)
The Low -Income Home Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) is a federally funded program
to help pay past due water and sewer expenses. The program is administered in our region by
Western Idaho Community Partnership (WICAP). It has come to the attention of staff that
there are a few city water utility customers who qualify for assistance under LIHWAP. For
our customers to receive assistance from the LIHWAP program, the City must become a
vendor by signing the Vendor Agreement with Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
(IDHW). Once the City is added as an approved vendor, any qualifying customers will be
able to receive assistance with their past -due utility accounts. The City will receive payments
on behalf of our utility customers from WICAP within 10 days of the customer eligibility
determined by WICAP. Each qualifying household is eligible to receive one payment per
household for the amount owed on the account up to $1,500.00. Action: Approve the vendor

Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice and Justice & Security Strategies to support
implementation of body -worn camera (BWC) programs. The estimated total cost to provide
BWCs to McCall Police Department's twelve (12) sworn officers is $44,188. The grant must
be matched 1:1, so the local match commitment is $22,094 and grant funds will be provided
as reimbursement for costs incurred. The grant award agreement can be executed by the City
Manager on behalf of the McCall Police Department. The agreement stipulates standard
grant management protocol and rules for federal funds, monthly reporting, and records

PUBLIC HEARING
1
AB 22-070 Request to Approve Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan (PUD-21-01)
and Subdivision Preliminary Plat (SUB -21-04) at 116 Thula Street for Rywest
Homes, Inc.
Mayor Giles asked if any members of the Council had any conflicts of interest related to the
planned unit development to be presented. All Council Members present replied that they had no
conflicts of interest. Mayor Giles also aske if any Members of the Council had been contacted
outside the meeting regarding the application. All Members stated that they had not been contacted
outside the meeting.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to continue the Public Hearing. Council Member Nielsen
seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Maciaszek, Council Member
Nielsen, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Nelson all voted aye, and the motion carried.
City Planner Brian Parker presented to Council with a brief overview of the public noticing and
legal requirements that were met for the Public Hearing as well as the history of the continued
Public Hearing process, and an overview of the documents that were presented for the record.
Planner Parker also clarified changes to the record since the last meeting. Mayor Giles asked if
any Council Member had any objections to admitting any of the documents to the record. There
were no objections by any Member of Council.
City Planner Brian Parker stated that the Public Hearing is for a Planned Unit Development and
Subdivision Preliminary Plat application to construct 26 condominium units. During their
regularly scheduled November 2, 2021 meeting, the McCall Area Planning and Zoning
Commission held a properly noticed public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of
the subject application to the McCall City Council without a second public hearing. The subject
application includes requests to enter into development and escrow agreements. Final versions of
these agreements will be presented to Council at a later date. During the January 13, 2022 McCall
City Council meeting, the public hearing for this application was opened and continued to allow
staff and the applicant additional time to finalize plans regarding the required Park's dedication.
There was clarification made as to the location of the bike path that will be constructed as in-leu
of the Park's dedication. There were some questions regarding the strip of land to the north of the
project that was originally to be used as part of the bike path. Planner Parker explained that the
ownership of that strip of land is under question. There was also clarification made to the parking
requirements and the limitations of short-term rentals.
Council Member Maciaszek asked for clarification regarding the proposed CC&Rs, specifically
the prohibited trailer parking. Planner Parker noted the Preliminary Plat is essentially a draft and
CC&Rs may be modified in the future and are out of the City's control; however, items that are a
condition of approval will need to be reflected in the CC&Rs and the Development Agreement
which will come back to Council at a future meeting. Mayor Giles noted Council needs to keep
sight of the proposed prohibited trailer parking when final CC&Rs come back to Council at a
future meeting.
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 6 of 12
March 31, 2022 Regular Meeting
Council Member Nielsen asked if the additional units proposed to be deed restricted to prohibit
short-term rentals will be deed restricted through the city's current local housing deed restriction
program. Planner Parker explained the deed restriction will not be the same as the local housing
deed restriction program, the units would still be able to be a second home but would be restricted
to prohibit short-term rentals. Council Member Maciaszek additionally clarified the local housing
deed restriction and the deed restriction prohibiting short-term rentals are not the same deed
restriction. Planner Parker noted four units will be deed restricted for local housing using the city's
current deed restriction program and an additional seven units would be deed restricted to prohibit
short-term rentals independently from the local housing deed restriction.
Council Member Nielsen asked if the proposed pathway location interferes with any storm water
runoff. Planner Parker noted that the pathway is proposed to be located on the south side of
Deinhard Lane connecting to the existing path off Mission Street in place of the current bike lane.
Additionally, Council Member Nielsen asked City Attorney Bill Nichols if the location of the
pathway not being connected to the site being developed poses any issues with the City Code.
Attorney Nichols noted as long as the developer is offering the pathway in exchange of an onsite
amenity as an in-leu fee it does not pose any issues. Council Member Nelson asked about feedback
from the adjacent properties regarding the proposed updates. Planner Parker has not received any
feedback regarding the proposed changes. Council Member Nielsen asked about the ownership of
the originally proposed location for the pathway. Attorney Nichols noted the ownership is not clear
at this point in time.
Mayor Giles requested the applicant Tim Davis of Rywest Homes to speak. Mr. Davis noted that
Planner Parker covered the changes to the application fully. Mr. Davis clarified that Building B
has a total of eleven units, seven two -bedroom units and four one -bedroom units. Three of the two -
bedroom units and one of the one -bedroom units will be deed restricted for local housing and the
remaining units in building B will be deed restricted to prohibit short-term rentals of 30 days or
less. In addition to the deed restrictions, the final CC&Rs will include prohibiting trailer parking.
Additionally, Mr. Davis expressed concern for the possible delay to the sewer upgrades and
proposed an extension for obtaining a building permit.
Mayor Giles called for public comment at 6:16pm
City Clerk BessieJo Wagner read aloud written comments submitted by Joey Petri and Mary &
Monte Fisher, both comments were opposed to the development and are included as Attachment
A.
David Gallipoli, 200 Scott Street, in person.
Mr. Gallipoli urged Council to postpone the approval of the Black Bear Condo project noting
utility infrastructure inefficiencies, strain on local emergency services and limited onsite parking.
Eve Marostica, 110 Thula, signed up online
Ms. Marostica is against approving the Black Bear Condo project. Ms. Marostica noted the
location of the development being between single family homes as an issue and agreed with the
previous comments made by other members of the public.
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 12
March 31, 2022 Regular Meeting
Mr. Davis addressed Council noting the concerns for local housing in the area. The development
is set up to be sold at the bottom of the current market, deed restricted for local housing and against
short-term rentals and prohibiting trailer parking has all been done in an effort to help alleviate the
need for local housing and concerns neighbors of the site have expressed.
Council Member Nielsen asked City Attorney Nichols if the pathway satisfies the city code
requiring a park dedication. Mayor Giles asked if the application satisfied city code on all fronts.
Planner Parker noted the parks requirement in City code has seen similar pathways approved
previously and it is staff's opinion that this application meets the criteria with the conditions of
approval listed in the findings of facts. Council Member Nelson asked for clarification on Rywest
Homes paying for the pathway on City property. Planner Parker confirmed the applicant will be
financially responsible for constructing the pathway on public property. Attorney Nichols noted
the contribution does satisfy the in-leu of section of the code mentioned. Mayor Giles commented
on the size of the development and noted the city does not need more pocket parks acquired from
smaller developments to meet city code. Council Member Nielsen asked if the proposed pathway
location could cause future issues in relation to the Deinhard Lane potentially changing ownership
to Idaho Transportation Department. Attorney Nichols noted the location of the pathway in regard
to either being in the Deinhard right of way or on Airport property makes a difference.
Additionally, there are state level requirements for alternative transportation modalities that would
have to be met by the Idaho Transportation Department if a change of ownership were to occur in
the future. Council discussed the pathway proposal. Planner Parker noted that condition of
approval number ten requires the pathway to be reviewed by Public Works, Parks and Recreation,
and the Airport prior to construction.
Council Member Nelson understands the concerns voiced by neighbors of the development, but
the City needs to stay true to the comprehensive plan and city code. Council Member Nelson feels
as though the applicant has demonstrated sensitivity to the issues raised by neighbors and
additional community challenges. Council Member Maciaszek agreed with Council Member
Nelson and the need for local housing and moderately priced properties in the community. Council
Member Maciaszek thanked the applicant for hearing the concerns of the community and taking
them into consideration. Council Member Nielsen agreed with Council Member Maciaszek and
the need this development addresses for local housing. The proposed pathway is more in alignment
with the community than previously proposed options to satisfy city code. Mayor Giles thanked
Council for the great discussion and thanked the applicant for listening to the concerns and
challenges of the community. Mayor Giles additionally commented on the need for high density
housing.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to close the Public Hearing. Council Member Nielsen
seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Maciaszek, Council Member
Nielsen, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Nelson all voted aye, and the motion carried.
Attorney Nichols noted the recommended action mentioned in the Agenda Bill needs to be
modified. Planner Parker noted changes to conditions of approval and how to modify the
recommended action to be reflected in the motion.
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 12

AB 22-073 Request to appoint Paul Christensen to the Parks and Recreation Advisory
Committee
Parks and Recreation Director Kurt Wolf presented to Council. The City recently advertised for
two full term positions on the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee in both the Star News and
on the City Website for two full weeks. The City received responses from Donna Bush and Paul
Christensen. Donna Bush was reappointed in February 2022. Paul is also interested in serving
another term on the advisory board. The advisory committee recommends that Paul Christensen
be re -appointed for an additional term.
Council had no questions or comments.
Council Member Nelson moved to appoint Paul Christensen to the Parks and Recreation
Advisory Committee to a term to expire in March of 2025. Council Member Nielsen seconded
the motion. In a voice vote Council Member Nelson, Council Member Nielsen, Mayor Giles,
and Council Member Maciaszek all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-074 Request for Approval of PUD-20-01Planned Unit Development, SUB -20-04 —
Running Horse Subdivision Final Development Plan, Final Plat, and Associated
Escrow Agreement
City Planner Brian Parker presented to Council an application for a Planned Unit Development
Final Plan and Subdivision Final Plat to create thirteen detached, single family dwelling units, one
of which will be a deed restricted local housing unit. The applicant has proposed an escrow
agreement to defer completion of public improvements until after the recordation of the final
plat. During its regularly scheduled March 1, 2022 meeting, the McCall Area Planning and Zoning
Commission unanimously recommended the application and associated escrow agreement to the
McCall City Council for approval.
Council Member Maciaszek requested an overview of the process and the difference between a
preliminary plat and a final plat. Planner Parker gave a brief description of the process. Council
Member Maciaszek additionally asked if the applicant has met all conditions and Planner Parker
confirmed the applicant has met all conditions. Attorney Nichols noted the final plat approval is
more of a final check and there is little option for Council to make changes at this point of the
application. Council Member Nelson asked how the developer came up with the ratio for the single
deed restricted local housing unit. Planner Parker referred to the applicant to answer questions
after a description of what a deed restriction program is and how it works. Sasha Childs, the
Running Horse developer, stated that they did not ask for higher density when implementing the
local housing deed restriction to add value to the community. The buyer for the local housing unit
has already been decided and the buyer is working with the builder to help design their future home
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 9 of 12
March 31, 2022 Regular Meeting
which will be sold at cost. Additionally, the local housing unit will not be responsible for the
homeowner association fees.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to approve the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law,
and Decision documents for Running Horse Subdivision (PUD-20-01, SUB -20-04) and
associated escrow agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
Council Member Nelson seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Maciaszek,

Member Nielsen voted no.
AB 22-079 Request to Award Construction Contract for McCall Senior Center Site
Improvements 2022 to Granite Excavation, Inc
City Engineer Morgan Stroud presented to Council. During February and March 2022, the City,
with assistance from Crestline Engineers (Project Engineer) conducted formal bidding for the
McCall Senior Center Site Improvements Project. This project will:
• reconstruct parking lot areas in the vicinity of the McCall Senior Center to improve ADA
compliance
• consolidate and reconstruct the City Campus 1st Street entrance to align with the 1St/Idaho
Street intersection to improve functionality and safety
• relocate the Railroad ROW pathway to accommodate the new campus entrance and parking
lot improvements.
The bid opening occurred on March 11, 2022 and the City received one bid from Granite
Excavation, Inc. Crestline Engineers recommended (in consultation with staff) to award both the
base bid and bid alternate #1. Granite's bid came within —6% of the engineers estimate, however
Crestline's estimate took into consideration significant material and labor cost increases observed
over the past year. Streets LOT and Franchise Fee funding will cover project costs over what the
CDBG grant funding will cover.
Mayor Giles asked if there will be an increase in the amount of pavement around the Senior Center
during this project to cut down on the amount of dust. Engineer Stroud noted there will be
additional pavement with cut outs for planters.
City Clerk BessieJo Wagner noted additional funding available for the project through the CDBG.
City Manager Anette Spickard gave Council a brief overview of an item Council will see at a
future meeting regarding approval of additional funds awarded for the Senior Center project.

construction contract to Granite Excavation Inc. in the amount of $395,828.73; authorize the
Mayor to sign all necessary documents; and authorize City staff to manage change orders
up to 10% over the initial Contract amount. Council Member Nelson seconded the motion.

3/31/22 12:06:20 Mary Monte Fisher 200 Thula Against "We would like to
extend our appreciation for the relocation of the pathway, and would like to take the opportunity
to publicly thank Tim Davis (RyWest Homes) for his cordial approach and his understanding of
our issues.
However, the inability of this development to comply with City Code 9.3.102(A) should not be
remedied by offering the use of public property (City owned) for free, to make it appear as
though the development meets Code requirements. Please refer to our previously submitted
comments regarding the parkland dedication code.
Approval of this application as submitted sets a serious precedent in which future developers of
high density building projects can look to the City to make the same concessions regarding open
space and adequate parking.
The City Council should assure compliance with all City codes not only by this development but
all future developments.
We would like to thank the City Council for their time and consideration. "

Good Evening City Council members,
I am currently in Austin Tx. but I would like to express 100% support for David Gallipoli on the
Thula Project and his effort to bring sanity and reason to our local officials.
As expressed in the past I see no good reason to allow any new building projects other than
single family homes and current buildings or remodels until all questions are answered and
solutions to current situations are fully addressed. I must express and emphasize my broad brush
approach because I think it is of dire importance that the needs of the current community come
first and not those of developers that really seek to see their own personal and or investors
agendas and not that of the greater good of the community .
It is the job of our officials to work for those who reside here and have emotional and spiritual
connection who are not here to profit from the gifts we received from the Creator and Mother
Earth .I request, implore and would demand if I had the authority to seek indigenous guidance
for all the decisions that effect the greater good !
Thank you,
Joey Pietri
225 Valley Springs Rd. McCall"
