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. Staff has updated the report to separate out short-term rentals
(STR) and to show the number of Declaration of Compliance (DOC) documents received.
Staff receives more DOCs than business licenses for STRs because the property
management companies are taking on additional STR units. Staff are hoped this report tells
a more complete story. Action: Council to review the License report.

7. AB 22-195 Request to Approve McCall Youth Football Club and Parks & Recreation
Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU)
McCall Youth Football Club (MYFC) is a youth sports organization that replaced the
Optimist Football Program and offers full -contact football coaching and games for local
youth. The club has non-profit status and needs program registration assistance. The
MYFC approached the City of McCall Parks and Recreation Department about partnering
with the club to help advertise, collect program registrations and monies. The program
was a success for the past 4 years, and McCall Youth Football Club would like to partner
again for the 2022 fall season. The Parks and Recreation Department utilizes Team Sideline
for their program registration, advertising, and participant database software. The MYFC
has set the program registration fee and will be responsible for purchasing and maintaining
safe equipment for the football program and provide their own liability insurance. The
Parks and Recreation Department will advertise for the program, collect registration fees
and disperse funds to the MYFC. The department will collect 10% of the total registration
fees to cover our expenses. McCall Recreation Youth Scholarships will not be used for the
football program. Those needing financial assistance for the program can contact the
football club directly to request support. Action: Approve the MOU with the McCall Youth
Football Club and approve the mayor to sign all necessary documents.

8. AB 22-200 Request the Reallocation of LOT funds for Golf FY19 Rebuild of 6 Aspen
green to the Rebuild of Clubhouse ramp/stairs to meet ADA compliance
In 2019 the Golf Department was awarded $12,500 in LOT funds to match the same from
the McCall Men's Golf Association (MMGA) for the rebuild of the 6 Aspen Green. At that
same time the Golf Course Advisory Committee recommended to Council that the golf
course do a master plan to inform capital projects on the course. The MMGA reallocated
their matching funds from the 6 Aspen project to help the city pay for the master plan
instead. The adopted master plan set a schedule of projects by priority based on safety, etc.
Meanwhile the clubhouse stairs/ramp have substantially deteriorated, and it is a higher
priority to upgrade the failing ramp/stairs to a safe condition that also meets ADA
compliance than it is to rebuild the 6 Aspen green. Therefore, staff requests that Council
reallocate the FY19 LOT award from the 6 Aspen project and authorize staff to use those
funds on the rebuild of the ramp/stairs to the clubhouse. Action: Reallocate FY19 Golf LOT
funds of $12,500 toward the rebuild of the Clubhouse Ramp to meet ADA compliance.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to approve the Consent Agenda with the removal of
Council Minutes. Council Member Nelson 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.

Ms. Young addressed the Council with concerns about a neighbor previously mentioned at the
July 14 City Council Meeting. The neighbor to the northwest of Ms. Young is an asphalt plant.

Council Member Nelson commented the right precautions are being taken but it is not the time to
get complacent with the smaller number of cases being reported.
AB 22-199 McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission Annual Report to City Council
Robert Lyons, Chair, presented the McCall Area Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission annual
report to City Council. The mission of the P&Z Commission is to make recommendations to the
City Council and to the County Commissioners respecting comprehensive planning, zoning, and
subdivision regulations. The P&Z Commission also applies the same to the individual proposals
brought to the Commission for approval or for recommendation to Council, and, when applicable,
the County Commissioners. This Commission acts in this statutory capacity as Planning and
Zoning Commission under Idaho Code with respect to zoning and planning in the City proper and
the McCall Impact Area. The P&Z Commission consists of seven members appointed by City
Council and the County Commissioners for three-year terms, which are renewable. Meetings are
ordinarily held on the first Tuesday of each month at 4:30 PM in the Legion Hall below City Hall.
Members are appointed by the Mayor with confirmation by the Council.
Highlights of the report included five new commissioners within the past year, training sessions
and joint meetings, ninety-seven applications have gone through Planning and Zoning, and twenty-
two pre application items. Also noted were issues with the Sewer District slowing down some
applications due to capacity and infrastructure upgrade needs. Additionally, Mr. Lyons
complimented city staff.
Mayor Giles asked how the workload compares this year to previous years. Mr. Lyons noted some
additional workload as some applications bring in more public comment than others but the past
two or three years have been steady. Council Member Maciaszek thanked Mr. Lyons for the report
and work put in by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Council Member Nelson additionally
thanked Mr. Lyons for serving on the Commission and made additional comments regarding the
working relationship with the Sewer District. Mr. Lyons noted an improved relationship with the
Sewer District with a change in management and the completion of the Sewer District Master Plan.
Additional discussion between Council and Mr. Lyons regarding city growth and application
amounts was had.
BUSINESS AGENDA
1
AB 22-202 2022 Water Rate Study: Revised Rate Structure Recommendation and Direction
to Staff
Public Works Director Nathan Stewart & Consultants presented to Council. On July 7, 2022,
Bowen Collins and Associates (BCA), with support from Public Works and Water staff presented
their findings from the 2022 water rate study update. The study updated the City's rate model using
FY18-22 actual revenue and expenses, and incorporated FY23 budgetary values and 10 -20 -year
future capital project cost data. The initial recommendation by BCA was to take a onetime 5%
increase for FY23 followed by annual 3% increases for FY24 and beyond to maintain sufficient
revenues to fund expenses and account for inflation. No changes to the City's block rate structure
were recommended, but the project team sought Council input.
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL
July 28, 2022 Regular Meeting
Page 4 of 10
City Council responded by requesting that the project team further evaluate ways to emphasize
water conservation including:
• Adding a 4th block for higher water users (well over 25,000 gallons per month)
• Increasing the percent of total annual revenues from usage rates and decreasing the percent
of total annual revenues from the base rate.
BCA and City staff have updated the rate model to incorporate requests by Council. BCA will
advise on how the revised rate structure recommendation will impact forthcoming bonding values
to address near term capital improvements. Keith Larsen & Louisa Winslow from BCA presented
to Council. Highlights of the presentation included the purpose of the water rate study,
recommended changes and review of two alternative options for water rates requested by Council.
Mayor Giles complimented the consultants on the responsiveness to the request of Council from
the last work session. Council Member Nielsen asked why 40 thousand gallons and not 35
thousand gallons. Mr. Larsen noted that 35 thousand would show more use in Block 4 than block
3 and typical industry practice is to have usage fall off by block. Council Member Nelson asked
what possible unintended consequences could come with the recommended changes. For example,
impact on businesses and citizens on fixed incomes. Mr. Larson noted the research that went into
viewing commercial vs. residential and there did not appear that commercial users were drifting
into Block 4, mainly residential users are the type of users moving up a block. Director Stewart
additionally commented on conversations with local businesses and hotels noting no concerns
mentioned by commercial users. Additionally, US bank and other business landscapes have been
updated to drip systems and climate specific irrigation.
Mayor Giles reiterated previous points made regarding uses and asked what the affect would be
on capital improvement projects for water infrastructure with the recommended changes. Grae
Harper of Clear Water Solutions noted the need for more specific data to make predictions about
delaying any capital improvement projects, some projects need to be completed regardless of water
usage. Council Member Nelson expressed the higher block and water rate not reducing water usage
for high end water users. Council Member Nielsen noted that he would still prefer adding Block 4
at 35 thousand instead of 40 thousand.
Mayor Giles asked Director Stewart what the decision timeline is for the water rate changes.
Director Stewart noted sooner rather than later and in three years another rate study will be coming
back to Council, the main thing to keep in mind is keeping the rates fair and equitable. Policy
changes to target high end users must be justified. Mr. Larsen commented on the question at hand
being whether to affect more people slightly less or slightly less people affected more. Fair cost of
service is always the goal. Council Member Nelson would like to see high -end users affected more.
Council Member Nielsen has a goal to conserve water, all options in front of Council address fiscal
goals for revenue. Council Member Maciaszek expressed that a greater amount of attention should
be to those who live in McCall by keeping the rates down for smaller users. Additionally, Council
Member Maciaszek is encouraged to move forward with Option B as it stands. Mayor Giles is in
favor of the 35 thousand gallons at Bock 4 but 40,000 as presented is a good option as well. Council
Member Nielsen asked if Block 4 is changed to 35 thousand gallons what is the time frame to go
through approvals? Director Stewart noted the volume rate increases will change but a 5% and 3%
overall increase will remain the same.
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 5 of 10
July 28, 2022 Regular Meeting
Ms. Winslow gave an additional overview of the difference between Option A and Option B with
the changes to Block 4 from 40 thousand to 35 thousand gallons. Mr. Larsen noted that the major
impact would be to high end users, but water is still a fairly inelastic commodity. Council Member
Nelson is in favor of Option B or C decreasing Block 4 to 35 thousand.
Director Stewart asked Attorney Nichols for clarification on what information is needed for the
public notice for the public hearing. Attorney Nichols clarified the transparency of posted all rates
together. Council Member Nielsen noted the presentation being thorough and rates will most likely
still be around $80 dollars for average residential use. Additionally Council Member Nielsen is
comfortable moving forward with Option B. Mayor Giles summarized the direction given to staff
to move forward with Option B and thanked staff and consultants for the hard work put into the
presentation.
AB 22-197 Approval of Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Decision regarding the
Appeal of McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission Decision on DR -22-10,
located at 607 Lick Creek Road
City Planner Brian Parker presented to Council. During the July 14, 2022, McCall City Council
meeting, the Council voted to uphold the McCall Area's Planning and Zoning Commission's
decision to approve DR -22-10 for an alternative parking plan to allow for the expansion of a
nonconforming structure located at 607 Lick Creek Road.
Council Member Nielsen noted ex parte communication. Attorney Nichols gave detail into the ex
parte communication and noted the communication is not part of the records because the
communication was after the decision was made by council at the public hearing and the hearing
was already closed. Council Member Nielsen is allowed to vote to adopt the findings.
Council had no questions for staff regarding AB 22-197 Approval of Findings of Fact, Conclusion
of Law, and Decision regarding the Appeal of McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission
Decision on DR -22-10 located at 607 Lick Creek Road. Council Member Nelson noted future
planning is needed for Davis Beach. Attorney Nichols suggested Council address area specific
issues by directing staff to review the specific issues in the future.
Council Member Nelson moved to adopt the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and
Decision for the Appeal of DR -22-10. Council Member Nielsen seconded the motion. In a

creation of 12 residential lots on a parcel 2.82 acres in size on the west side of a small private
section of Verita Road, directly west of Broken Ridge Commons and north of West Valley Road.
During its regularly scheduled July 12, 2022, meeting, the McCall Area Planning and Zoning
Commission unanimously recommended the application to the McCall City Council for approval.
Council Member Nelson noted the CC&Rs including deed restricted units and prohibiting running
a business out of your home raising the question if a short-term rental would be prohibited under
the business regulations of the CC&Rs. Council Member Maciaszek reminded Council Member
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 6 of 10
July 28, 2022 Regular Meeting
Nelson that short term rentals cannot be considered commercial use under Idaho code. Sasha
Childs, Developer, explained the density of the project and why no code alleviations were sought
for the development and how the Sewer District has affected the decision making process to not
add any accessory dwelling units for long term rentals or local workforce.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to approve the FP -22-01 — Big Horn Subdivision and
authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Nelson seconded the
motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Maciaszek, Council Member Nelson, and Mayor
Giles, all voted aye. Council Member Nielsen voted no, and the motion carried.
AB 22-198 Request to Approve the Option to Purchase Agreement associated with DR -22-
14 —Krahn Lane Extension
City Planner Brian Parker and Airport Manager Emily Hart presented to Council. The Airport
Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan calls for an extension of Krahn Lane from the existing
terminus at the intersection with Highway 55 to the west to facilitate access to a general aviation
terminal. The property containing the southern portion of this future right-of-way was entitled for
the construction of an arts studio on the site (DR -22-14) at the June 7, 2022 McCall Area Planning
& Zoning Commission Meeting. The applicant has agreed to enter into an Option to Purchase
agreement with the City for the future right-of-way acquisition. The acquisition of the Krahn Lane
Extension right-of-way is included as item 2-8 in the Master Schedule included in the Airport
Master Plan, currently scheduled for the 2028 Fiscal Year. The recordation of the Option to
Purchase Agreement is required to be completed prior to the issuance of a building permit. The
City Attorney has reviewed the subject agreement.

Krahn Lane Extension.
Council Member m moved to Approve the Option to Purchase Agreement associated with
DR -22-14 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, Council Member Nelson all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-201 Request to Approve a Temporary License Agreement between the City and
Chubby Squirrel, LLC
Public Works Director Nathan Stewart presented to Council. As part of the Design Review land
use application approval (DR -22-34) that allows Builder's First Source to construct a materials
storage facility at 209 S. 3'd (owned by Chubby Squirrel, LLC), a landscaping buffer was required
to be constructed along the 3'1 Street frontage between the storage yard fence and the existing City
owned/maintained separated pathway. However, because the City and ITD are anticipating
construction of a northbound east turn lane, installation of this landscaping has been allowed to be
delayed.
Additionally, because the City's Parks Department has already been maintaining existing
landscaping adjacent to the pathway across both the 3'd Street frontage of Builders First Source
and 209 S. 3'd, the City and Chubby Squirrel have established this temporary license agreement
that stipulates the responsibilities of the two entities. Principally, this agreement establishes that
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 10
July 28, 2022 Regular Meeting
Chubby Squirrel (in partnership with Builders First Source) will construct the landscaping buffer
(as required by the DR approval), at such time that the turn lane construction has been completed.
Once installed the City's Parks Department will continue to maintain the new landscaping in
similar fashion as well as being allowed to store pathway snow within the license agreement area.
This agreement has been prepared and approved in coordination with legal counsel from both
Chubby Squirrel and the City.
Council had no questions regarding the Temporary License Agreement between the City and
Chubby Squirrel LLC.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to approve the temporary license agreement between the
City and Chubby Squirrel, LLC, and authorize the mayor to sign all necessary documents.
Council Member Nelson seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Maciaszek,
Council Member Nelson, Mayor Giles, Council Member Nielsen all voted aye, and the
motion carried.
AB 22-205 Request to Approve Zipley Fiber Project #5515168: Aerial to Underground
Relocation on Deinhard Ln, McCall
Public Works Director Nathan Stewart presented to Council. The City is working with multiple
utility companies to convert existing overhead utilities to underground within the project area for
the City and ITD's Deinhard Lane reconstruction project (programmed for construction in 2023).
This agenda bill addresses Zipley Fiber's Project #5515168 which specifically outlines the work
and associated costs for them to convert their overhead utilities to underground.
For these projects, the City pays the difference in the cost of undergrounding the facilities vs the
cost of relocating them overhead to prevent conflict with the proposed roadway project. For Zipley
Fiber the cost of relocating the facilities overhead was $17,415, whereas the cost of converting to
underground is $103,388.57; therefore, the City is responsible for paying the difference of
$85,973.57.
Council had no questions regarding the Zipley Fiber Project #5515168: Aerial to Underground
Relocation on Deinhard Ln.
Council Member Nelson moved to Approve Zipley Fiber Project #5515168 Aerial to
Underground Relocation on Deinhard Ln and authorize the mayor to sign all necessary
documents. Council Member Nielsen seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council
Member Nelson, Council Member Nielsen, Mayor Giles, Council Member Maciaszek all
voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-204 Request approval of Contingent Revenue / Contingent Expense Transfer within
Airport Fund and Accept Granite Excavation, Inc.'s Airport Sewer Line Extension
Estimate
Emily Hart Airport Manager presented to Council. At the October 21, 2021 Council meeting,
Council approved the project to extend the sewer line across Taxiway A with a cost estimate of
$52,000. The original quote was received from Knife River, but Knife River can no longer do the
project. The only contractor able to do the job is Granite Excavation. In order to proceed with the
project staff requests Council approve use of Airport Fund contingency of $47,188. The balance
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 10
July 28, 2022 Regular Meeting
of the project is funded through federal grants already received plus a small amount of Airport
Fund operation budget. The extension is required to facilitate hangar development in the infield,
which at build -out will generate at least $50,000 in hangar lease fees per year.
The Airport Manager worked with the Treasurer to properly identify and direct funding for this
project.
Council had no questions regarding the Contingent Revenue/Contingent Expense Transfer within
the Airport Fund and Granite Excavation, Inc's Airport Sewer Line Extension Estimate.
Council Member Nelson moved to approve transfer of $47,188 from Airport Fund contingent
revenue and expense to operations/capital; and accept Granite Excavation, Inc.'s Airport
Sewer Line Extension Estimate. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a roll
call vote Council Member Nelson, Council Member Maciaszek, Mayor Giles, Council
Member Nielsen all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-206 Request approval of an avigation easement with GFL Holdings, LLC
Airport Manager Emily Hart presented to Council. Valley County Planning and Zoning issued
C.U.P. No. 21-15 for 360° Ranch Subdivision on Aug. 24, 2021, which requires the following:
"Shall record and reference in the notes on the face of the final plat an Airport Overlay Agreement
that includes the following: Avigation Easement negotiated by the developer of the subdivision
with the City of McCall that will apply to all future landowners with restrictions that do not go
beyond the example from Boise, included in the record. This easement should detail height
limitations on specific lots, along with the building envelopes, and be included in the CCR's. Lot
owners should be directed to the easement with building permits."
This avigation easement protects the City of McCall and the McCall Municipal Airport from
liability related to non -aeronautical use housing development in the runway approach path/Inner
Critical Zone. Two fatal single pilot airplane crashes have occurred in the 360° Ranch Subdivision
location in the last twenty years.
Council had no questions regarding the avigation easement with GFL Holdings, LLC.
Council Member Nelson moved to Approve the avigation easement with additional language
as referenced by the airport manager with GFL Holdings, LLC and authorize the Mayor to
sign all necessary documents. Council Member Nielsen seconded the motion. In a roll call
vote Council Member Nelson, Council Member Nielsen, Mayor Giles, and Council Member
Maciaszek all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-203 Request to Approve Forgiveness of Golf Fund Loan Debt to the General Fund in
the Amount of $85,000
City Manager Anette Spickard and City Treasurer Linda Stokes presented to Council. In 2003 the
Council loaned the Golf Fund $60,000 from the General Fund for purchase of greens covers to
stop damage to greens over winter. In 2004 the Council loaned the Golf Fund $25,000 from the
General Fund for course expenditures identified as necessary by a special "Golf Action Team" that
reported to the Council and City Manager. The City's financial statements have carried both debts
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 9 of 10
July 28, 2022 Regular Meeting
as a liability on the Golf Fund's balance sheet and a receivable on the General Fund's balance
sheet ever since. The Golf Fund is in a positive financial position and can now afford to repay the
loans to the General Fund. The Golf Advisory Committee has requested the Council forgive the
loan debt. The letter references $80,000 but their intent was to ask forgiveness of the entire amount
which is $85,000.
At the July 1, 2022, budget workshop, the Council discussed the Golf budget and the City
Manager's proposal to bring the Pro Shop services in house along with a financial plan designed
to implement the Golf Course master plan. Council expressed an interest in forgiving this loan
debt as part of the transition to the new structure and financial plan.
Mayor Giles asked if taking the steps to forgive the Golf Fund Loan Debt would allow the Golf
Course to move forward with funding capital improvement projects. Manager Spickard affirmed
forgiving the loan would help fund capital improvement projects at the Golf Course.
Council Member Nelson moved to Approve forgiveness of Golf Fund debt to the General
Fund in the amount of $85,000. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a roll
call vote Council Member Nelson, Council Member Maciaszek, and Mayor Giles, Council
Member Nielsen all voted aye, and the motion carried.

1 7/25/22 13:53:43 Rhonda McKenzie, President of Mile High Estates POA 1580
Mile High Drive McCa11ID 83638 "I am writing, on behalf of the property owners in
Mile High Estates Subdivision, to ask that the City revisit the following items:
1) The no -compression brake issue, as the trucks that go by here, at 4:00 a.m., are clearly NOT
following the sign that states NO compression brakes; and,
2) Looking at reducing the speed limit along highway 55, from Kings Pines to the 45 mph limit
sign going south, before you get to Pueblo Lindo. We have asked the State to look at this issue,
and they have stated that it is a City of McCall issue, not state. Therefore, many safety issues
would be either eliminated and/or reduced/increased, depending on various situations. The fact
that Mile High Drive enters the highway at the top of a blind hill, increases the chance of a fatality
on that road. Most people are exceeding the 55 mph speed limit coming into town and when
turning out of Mile High Drive and the road out of Forest Trails Subdivision, sometimes we are
just hoping and praying that nobody is flying over the hill as we exit, going considerably less than
55 mph, obviously, We are requesting that the 55 mph speed limit not start until after the Little
Ski Hill, which is another dangerous entrance/exit spot off the highway. We understand that the
Little Ski Hill is in Adams County, so some coordination with Adams County will be necessary
from the City of McCall; and,
3) Google Maps and/or GPS directions to White Bark Subdivision and other addresses down Old
Meadows Road, have the drivers using Mile High Drive to access those addresses, instead of
directing them to use Warren Wagon Road. As you know, Old Meadows Road is NOT an
improved road; thus, the many, many long trailers, semis (with trusses), RV campers and a
multitude of drivers use the road and TRY to use the road, long after it becomes impassable.
Owners are continually having to help people get unstuck, turn around, etc. in order to go back to
the highway and use Warren Wagon for access. We have contacted Google, but apparently, again,
it is a City issue. We have contacted and left a message for Michelle G. to return our call, regarding
this matter, to no avail. Again, we would like to see this matter handled, however it needs to be
handled. If the County has to be involved, then we ill assume that you will take care of it, since it
is definitely a City problem.
We look forward to hearing back from the City Council concerning these matters, and would be
open to having these issues put on the City's Agenda in the near future, if it is so warranted.
Otherwise, we would expect a response, in writing, concerning these issues we have raised, for
future reference. I have noted my phone number, should someone wish to call me concerning
these issues.
Thank you,
Rhonda McKenzie

To: The City Council, We are writing to express our concern regarding the
traffic/pedestrian situation on Wooley Avenue. Daily, we see bike riders,
skateboarders, people pushing strollers, and those walking as they try to navigate
along the bike path that ends at the boardwalk at Divot Lane and continues where
Wooley meets up to the bike path at Davis. We are worried that someone will get
Describe Your hurt as they are passed by the speeding traffic - both cars and construction trucks.
Concern: We believe the City of McCall has a responsibility to the public to provide a safe
"CONTINUOUS" bike/walking route. When people start their way along our bike
path in town they assume that it will be safe. By not connecting the two sections
the City is putting people at risk of injury by the traffic. We want to encourage the
City to expedite the construction of the remaining section of the bike path.
Sincerely, Dr.John C Warden Ms. Dianne Warden McCall
