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: Review

10. AB 22-245 Request to Proclaim October 9-15, 2022 as Fire Prevention Week — "Fire
Won't Wait. Plan Your Escape."
The City of McCall, Idaho is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all those living
in and visiting the City. Fire is a serious public safety concern both locally and nationally, and
homes are the locations where people are at greatest risk from fire. This year's National Fire
Protection Association® (NFPA®) Fire Prevention Week campaign is "Fire won't wait. Plan
your escapeTM", works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take
to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires. Today's homes burn faster
than ever. You may have as little as two minutes (or even less time) to safely escape a home
fire from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Your ability to get out of a home during a fire
depends on early warning from smoke alarms and advance planning.
Since 1922, the NFPA has sponsored the public observance of Fire Prevention Week. In 1925,
President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance, making it
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 2 of 10
September 22, 2022 Regular Meeting
the longest -running public health observance in our country. During Fire Prevention Week,
children, adults, and teachers learn how to stay safe in case of a fire. Firefighters provide
lifesaving public education in an effort to drastically decrease casualties caused by fires.
Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration
of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage.
This horrific conflagration killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more
than 17,400 structures, and burned more than 2,000 acres of land.
In an effort to support the national proclamation of Fire Prevention Week and bring awareness
to the citizens of McCall, staff requests the Council proclaim October 9-15, 2022 as Fire
Prevention Week in McCall. The proclamation is attached. More information and activities
can be found on the NFAP website https://www.nfpa.org/Events/Events/Fire-Prevention-
Week/Educate. Action: Proclaim October 9-15, 2022 as Fire Prevention Week throughout the
City of McCall and authorize the Mayor to sign the proclamation.
11. AB 22-246 Request to Proclaim October 2022 as Arts and Humanities Month
October is National Arts & Humanities Month (NAHM) —a coast -to -coast collective
recognition of the importance of culture in America. NAHM was launched by Americans for
the Arts more than 30 years ago as National Arts Week in honor of the twentieth anniversary
of the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1993, it was reestablished by Americans for the
Arts and national arts partners as a month -long celebration, with goals of: FOCUSING on
equitable access to the arts at local, state, and national levels; ENCOURAGING individuals,
organizations, and diverse communities to participate in the arts; ALLOWING governments
and businesses to show their support of the arts; and RAISING public awareness about the role
the arts and humanities play in our communities and lives. The arts and humanities have played
a critically important role in getting us through the COVID-19 pandemic and in amplifying the
need for racial equity across the country. National Arts & Humanities Month is the time for
communities to come together in unified celebration of the power of the arts to make a
difference and change our lives for the better. National Arts & Humanities Month is an
opportunity to recognize and celebrate the positive impact the arts bring to our schools and
communities therefore in an effort to support the national proclamation of Arts and
Humanities, staff requests that Council proclaim October as Arts and Humanities month in
McCall. The proclamation is attached. Action: Proclaim October 2022 as Arts and Humanities
Month and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
12. AB 22-252 Request Approval of the publication of the summary of Ordinance 1011
Adopting Title 3 and Title 4: Updates to Short -Term Rental (STRs) Regulations and
Permitting
On September 8, 2022 Council Adopted Ordinance 1011 to improve health and safety and
improve neighborhood impacts, through an updated process for regulating and permitting of
STRs. The City of McCall and Valley County last updated codes for regulating and permitting
STRS in January 2020. The McCall City Council held two work sessions on this topic and held
a public hearing that was continued to a second meeting. The updates to the city code occur in
Title 3 and Title 4. Since the Ordinance summary was not prepared in time for the September
8, 2022 Council Meeting, a separate action needs to happen to ensure that the summary is
published within 30 days of adoption to be in effect by October 1. The adopted Ordinance 1011
and the summary are attached. Action: Approve the publication of the summary and authorize
the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.

13. AB 22-257 Request to Enter into a Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement for Idaho
Intrastate Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (IdWARN)
The Idaho Intrastate Water/Wastewater Response Network (IdWARN) has been established in
Idaho with over 60 current members where utility agencies can support one another and
maintain critical life/safety operations in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency.
The included Mutual Aid and Assistance Agreement outlines the rules and regulations for
members and the procedures for requesting, providing and/or refusing to provide assistance.
It has been reviewed and approved by legal counsel. Membership in IdWARN not only
provides the City of McCall with statewide support network, but also provides for local
collaboration (City of Cascade is a member). Additionally, membership in IdWARN is
beneficial (increases application scores) when applying for various grant opportunities offered
by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) and other funding sources, some
of which the City is currently pursuing. Action: Approve the Mutual Aid and Assistance
Agreement for Idaho Intrastate Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (IdWARN) and

Commission worked with The Craig Group to update the 2011 McCall Historic Preservation Plan.
The updated plan will provide guidance to the Historic Preservation Commission and City Council
in their efforts to accomplish the objectives of McCall City Code Title III, Chapter 20. Community
outreach during plan development, although altered in format due to COVID 19 mitigation
measures, included input from over 300 participants via online surveys, interviews and works
sessions with key community groups, sessions with high school classes, and one-on-one interviews
with the heads of nonprofits, business leaders, City staff and committee members. The plan's goals
and objectives were posted for public review via online survey and, at its September 12, 2022
meeting, the McCall Historic Preservation Commission unanimously recommended the updated
2022 McCall Historic Preservation Plan to City Council for adoption. Additionally, Don Baily of
the McCall Historic Preservation Commission addressed Council giving an overview of the
Historic Preservation Plan process. Planner James stated that the document has been reviewed by
the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office and we have received approval from them for the
document to move forward. This approval helps us retain the City status as a certified local
government entity.
Lisa Craig and Kim Rose of the Craig Group gave a detailed presentation about the Preservation
Plan highlighting the intent behind a Preservation Plan, timelines for priorities, and goals. During
the presentation they acknowledged the work of staff, and their appreciation of the work Delta
James does for the City.

Preservation Plan. Council additionally discussed the historic properties including Stibnite housing
throughout the city and the importance of recognizing and celebrate that aspect of the indigenous
peoples and their culture that occupied our area first.

Economic Development Planner Delta James presented to Council. The City of McCall Parks and
Recreation Department is requesting approval to submit a grant application to the St. Luke's

MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 6 of 10
September 22, 2022 Regular Meeting
equipment, specifically mountain bikes and cross-country ski packages, to expand opportunities
for economically challenged youth and adults to experience outdoor recreation. If funded, the
purchased equipment would be made available through Mountain Bike Camp, Loaner Equipment
Program, and through partnering organizations such as McCall Day Care, McCall -Donnelly
School District, McCall Winter Sports Club, Roots Forest School, and others. The St. Luke's
Community Health Fund supports projects that benefit community health and does not require that

AB 22-249 Request to Approve Allocation of up to $105,000 in FY22 Tourism Local Option
Taxes
City Manager Anette Spickard presented to Council. On September 8, 2022, Council approved the
FY22 Budget Amendment that recognized additional Tourism Local Option Tax (LOT) revenue
that we expect to receive above the original budget estimate. The Amendment fully funded the
LOT Commission's recommended contingency projects with a remaining amount of up to
$105,000 that is still available for the Council to allocate to projects that fit the LOT allowable
uses. Staff recommends that Council allocate this funding to the Library Expansion Project which
is an allowable use and has received LOT funding previously. By doing so the Council will reduce
the amount of General Fund reserve dollars needed for the project. Staff considered the possibility
of allocating the funds to the Housing Program and determined that there are still outstanding LOT
funds in the program that have not been fully spent yet and there was not a need for more LOT
funds in that program until those previous allocations have been expended. The Housing Program
was also awarded $350,000 in FY23 LOT funding plus $100,000 in FY23 LOT contingency funds.
Council Member Nielsen would like to see every dollar possible go to housing but does understand
the logic behind the funding going to the Library project.
Council Member Thrower moved to approve the allocation of up to $105,000 in FY22
Tourism LOT to the Library Expansion Project. Council Member Nelson seconded the
motion. In a roll call vote Mayor Giles, Council Member Maciaszek, Council Member
Nelson, Council Member Nielsen, and Council Member Thrower all voted aye, and the
motion carried.
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 10
September 22, 2022 Regular Meeting
AB 22-256 Request to Approve AIA Document G802 Amending the Professional Services
Agreement with Ratio Architects, LLC for the Library Expansion Project
Public Works Director Nathan Stewart presented to Council. On April 2019, the City executed a
contract with Humphries Poli (now operating as Ratio Architects, LLC) for architectural, planning
and construction administration services for the McCall Public Library Expansion Project (see
attached). This original contract anticipated 36 months of services (ending on April 1, 2022), based
on the 2019 construction schedule provided by CM Company (the City's CMGC contractor). This
schedule did not anticipate that the initial bond election (held May 2019) would not pass delaying
the project for 12 months, nor did it account for a winter construction shut down that has since
been determined to be most effective to assure the project can be completed on budget (currently
estimated August 2024).
Accordingly, the included AIA G802 Amendment document extends Ratio Architects, LLC's
Professional Services Agreement an additional 32 months (68 months total through November
2024) to coincide with CM's construction schedule. The included amendment is considered draft,
pending legal review, though no substantial changes are anticipated. A final version will be
presented to Council at the meeting.
It is anticipated that Ratio will need compensation for their additional 32 months of services,
principally construction administration that has been increased from 14 months (originally scoped)
to 28 months. Proposals for these additional services are planned to be managed and approved by
the City Manager (< $50K) and/or City Council (>$50K) in accordance with the City's adopted
procurement policy.
The Council had no questions or comments related to the professional services agreement with
Ratio Architects.
Council Member Nelson moved to approve AIA Document G802 amending the professional
services agreement with Ratio Architects, B133; authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary
documents; and authorize staff to manage proposals for additional services in accordance
with the City's procurement policy. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a
roll call vote Mayor Giles, Council Member Maciaszek, Council Member Nelson, Council
Member Nielsen, and Council Member Thrower all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-251 Request Approval of Landscapes Unlimited, LLC Contract to Relevel Existing
Tees and Build New Forward Tees On Birch 9
Golf Superintendent Eric McCormick presented to Council. One of the Golf Course Master Plan
priorities is to level existing tees and build new forward tees. The plan is to work on 9 holes each
fall and work through this project. The city requested formal bids per the city procurement policy
and only received the one bid from Landscapes Unlimited, LLC which was deemed responsive
and within the city budget. Landscapes Unlimited LLC is working in the area on other golf courses
and has the expertise and equipment to do the type of work required for the project. All other
landscape construction companies that were talked to are already booked into 2023. The contract
was reviewed by the city attorney.
The Council had no questions or comments related to the contract with Landscapes Unlimited.

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. Planner Parker noted that the application for final plat was approved by
Council on July 28, 2022. The approval of the Findings of Facts formalizes that approval.
The Council had no questions or comments related to Big Horn Subdivision Final Plat. Findings of

"My home is located at 275 Morgan Drive on the bench above Rivers Crossing Subdivision. Rivers
Crossing is a small subdivision in the city of McCall, on the west bank of the Payette River directly across
from the McCall RV Resort and the McCall Municipal Airport.
Rivers Crossings' proximity to the McCall RV Resort and McCall Municipal Airport exposes it to noise
from both of these businesses. RV Resort activities, like Resort evening entertainment and construction
activities are noisy. Additionally, McCall Municipal Airport is very active and noisy especially during non -
winter months and wildfire season. Noise from these two sources are clearly noticeable and distracting.
They disturb the peace and quiet of the Rivers Crossing neighborhood.
Dog owners in the Rivers Crossing neighborhood diligently try to keep their animals quiet in comparison
to the noise from the RV Resort and the Airport. There are metrics in McCall city code that provide
specific limitations regarding construction activity and operation of aircraft at the McCall airport.
However, there are no specific parameters for, as the McCall city code states "permitting a dog to be
outdoors and barking", allowing a very liberal and subjective interpretation of that part of the code. The
code therefore offers fertile ground for any disgruntled, vindictive individual to abuse the intent of the
code and use it to harass or stalk a neighbor or their dog. It is unreasonably liberal, ripe for abuse and
should be rewritten to include specific limitations and wording to clarify specifically what constitutes
"intentionally or negligently to disturb the peace and quiet" — "permitting a dog to be outdoors and
barking".
Respectfully,
Pike Teinert
