SUMMARY STATEMENT: The City received a letter from Valley County (attached) regarding Cougar Island and the upcoming auction of the island by Idaho Department of Lands. In response
to the county’s positions staff proposes that Council consider taking the following actions:
Adopt a Resolution designating Cougar Island an Area of Critical Concern contingent upon Valley County’s ratification of the same.
Direct staff to present the County with an emergency ordinance for their adoption to prohibit issuance of land use approvals and building permits for Cougar Island and prepare draft
code language regulating wastewater and refuse disposal on the island for consideration by the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission which the City believes is necessary and prudent
to protect the City’s drinking water source from the impacts of island development.
Michelle Groenevelt, Community & Economic Development Director, and City Attorney Bill Nichols will discuss the purpose and need for these actions.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution 22-25 Designating Cougar Island an Area of Critical Concern and authorize the Mayor to sign the necessary documents.
Direct staff to present an Emergency Ordinance to Valley County to prohibit issuance of land use approvals and building permits for Cougar Island until new code can be created and adopted
regulating waste disposal from islands in Big Payette lake.
Direct staff to prepare code language regulating waste disposal on islands in Big Payette Lake and present to the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission and the governing boards.
