overview of the project for Leadership Academy and will keep Council updated.
Monthly Department Reports
Council Member Thrower asked about the City Manager's report regarding the McCall in Focus
Plan and how public comment through McCall in Focus is getting to City Council.
Communications Manager Erin Greaves noted the last update to Council was from two months
ago and there have been great conversations between the appropriate staff and members of the
public to answer the public's questions. Additionally, Manager Greaves gave an overview of
upcoming focus groups, social media campaigns, and other outreach efforts.
Council Member Thrower asked City Clerk BessieJo Wagner about the short-term rental licenses
included on the Clerk department report. Clerk Wagner responded noting short-term rentals of an
occupancy of more than ten (10) will have to go through the CUP process and additionally
reviewed the compliance dates.
Council Report
Council Member Nielsen noted the Winter Recreation Committee will begin meeting again for the

Subdivision Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Planned Unit Development General Plan at
TBD Pinedale Street for Urban Design+Build
Council Member Nelson moved to open the public hearing. Council Member Maciaszek
seconded the motion. In a voice vote all voted aye, and the motion carried.
City Planner Brian Parker presented to Council noting the legal noticing requirements followed
for an application for a Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan and Subdivision Preliminary
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL

Plat to construct fourteen (14) townhouse dwelling units on a 1.78 -acre parcel. Additionally noted
were the conditions of approval. During their regularly scheduled September 6, 2022, meeting, the
McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing and
unanimously recommended approval of the subject application to the McCall City Council without
a second hearing of the Commission. The Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law document will
be presented for approval at a future meeting.
Council Member Maciaszek asked what the process is to ensure the conditions that have not been
met are met. Planner Parker noted all conditions must be met before submitting a final development
plan. Council Member Maciaszek asked if the project is approved for preliminary plat with the
property maxed out, then how is the applicant supposed to fit in snow storage as required by the
conditions. Planner Parker noted if the plan changes to meet any of the conditions of approval, the
project will be brought back through the approval process. Council Member Thrower commented
on Pinedale Road and the effect the development will have on Pinedale to accommodate entrances
and exits to the development. Planner Parker reviewed the difference between arterial streets vs.
collector streets and noted access points are typically placed on collector streets and Pinedale is a
collector street. Morgan Stroud City Engineer noted an improvement study will need to be
conducted and the applicant will be required to get final engineering approval before a final plat
can be issued.
Chad Jones, the applicant representative, noted development indecisiveness regarding trash pickup
but a decision will be made before final plat approval. Additionally, the applicant does propose
improvements along Pinedale Road on the north side of the road including updated drainage. As
for the outdoor amenity areas, the gathering spaces are intended to be open to the community. The
development is meant to be harmonious with the natural surroundings and community.
Council Member Nielsen asked for clarification on ownership of the future units. Mr. Jones noted
separate condominium ownership not one owner of all units. Council Member Nielsen additionally
asked if the developer has any plans for short-term rental restrictions. Mr. Jones noted the bylaws
will be created at the final plat stage and there are no plans for deed restrictions or local housing
at this time. Council Member Nielsen asked about the Sewer District and how the development
will be getting hookups for the units. Mr. Jones noted discussions with the Sewer District, Water
Department, and Airport.
Council Member Maciaszek asked if the units are townhomes or condominiums. Mr. Jones noted
the intent is for the units to be individually owned but the units do have a townhome look. An
association will manage the maintenance of the property like a condominium development.
Council Member Maciaszek additionally explained the difference between a townhome and a
condominium. Planner Parker noted final CC&Rs will be presented with the final plat to answer
questions regarding maintenance responsibility.
Council Member Thrower asked again about the Sewer District conversation, building on the
discussion Council Member Nielsen brought up earlier. Mr. Jones noted the conversation with the
Sewer District was regarding the pressure mains, lift stations, and a current study being done to
determine if the developer needs to upgrade or provide support to the sewer system. There is an
ability to connect to the sewer system, but the main concern is if there are upgrades needed.
Council Member Maciaszek asked who the developer is on the project because the LLC does not
show up on the Idaho Secretary of State website as far as he could find. Mr. Jones noted that he is
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 4 of 11
November 3, 2022 Regular Meeting
not the developer; it was determined that Urban Design +Build is a legal LLC. Council Member
Nielsen asked about fire suppression systems in the development. Planner Parker read a public
comment provided to the McCall Area Planning and Zoning during The Commission's public
hearing regarding fire suppression systems in the development.
Mayor Giles noted the agenda packet states the development building could start as early as March
2023 if the PUD, SUB & DR are approved tonight. Planner Parker noted the item before the
Council is a preliminary plat not a final plat and the preliminary plat is a work in progress.
Additionally, Planner Parker outlined the steps that need to be completed before the building can
begin on the development. Building Official John Powell further explained the steps taken before
a building permit is obtained.
Council Member Maciaszek asked the City Attorney for clarification on preliminary plats and the
legal requirements of the Council when approving a final plat. Attorney Punkoney noted all the
Council's questions should be answered before approving a preliminary plat because the final plat
is not a time to change conditions. Planner Parker noted the preliminary plat does not have to be
approved as is, Council can approve the preliminary plat and guide staff to ensure compliance with
conditions.
Council Member Maciaszek noted trust in City staff and asked Council for thoughts on moving
forward with approval or continuing the hearing to allow the applicant to answer the questions
being asked by Council. Council discussed the option of continuing the public hearing to a date
certain for the applicant to answer questions regarding the type of unit — townhome or condo,
where snow storage will be, deed restrictions, and the in lieu of a fee for parks.
Mayor Giles called for public comment at 6:22 pm
David Gallipoli, 200 Scott St
Mr. Gallipoli commented on City staff and Planning and Zoning Commission noting an opinion
of deficiencies in applications that still make it to the City Council. Additionally, it is prudent to
get more answers from developers before approvals are made.
Mr. Jones responded to the concerns of the City Council and public comments regarding the type
of ownership, short -team' rentals, and maintenance. The goal of the units is to be individually
owned and the developer has no intent to deed restrict or restrict short-term rentals. Snow storage
will be designed during the landscape development at a later stage in the process. As for the Sewer
District, answering questions regarding hookups is not within the developer's ability currently.
Mayor Giles asked the City Attorney and City staff for clarification on the question of townhome
vs. condominium as well as restricting short-term rentals. Attorney Punkoney noted Council is
being reasonable in asking for answers on ownership and deed restrictions on a preliminary plat.
Planner Parker reviewed City Code definitions for townhomes and condo units.
Council summarized the questions for the developer to answer.
- Is the development a Townhome or a Condo? What is the Legal description?
- Parks negotiation — in lieu of fees clarification
What is the plan for deed restrictions on the development?
How can snow storage meet regulations in City Code?
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 5 of 11
November 3, 2022 Regular Meeting
Council had a discussion on the developments snow storage proposal and the City Code
requirements.
Nick Louie, a developer on the project commented to City Council. Mr. Louie reviewed the
original plan to go with deed restriction for double density. The Sewer District was not in
agreement with the double density. The development intends to be townhomes, individually owned
and platted. Additionally, bylaws and CC&Rs would require appearance upkeep and maintenance.
The developers do not want to restrict the development to prohibit vacation rentals.
Council continued to discuss the information Council would like the applicant to bring back before
approval. Public Works Director Nathan Stewart noted the application has engineering issues that
need to be addressed. The risk is to the developer if the preliminary plat is approved, and the City's
engineering requirements are not met because it could mean a recommendation from staff to not
approve a final plat. Council Member Thrower asked if Director Stewart is in the same process
with this developer's preliminary plat or if other developments are typically more developed at
this stage. Director Stewart noted that each application is unique, but the application in front of the
Council is not as complete as City Staff would like. Mayor Giles noted there is confusion on the
application regarding who oversees the project, who is the developer, and who is the applicant.
Attorney Punkoney clarified the public hearing process for Council.
Council Member Nielsen asked for clarification regarding the in -lieu of parks fee for the
development. Planner Parker reviewed the process for the in -lieu of fees. Director Wolf noted the
struggles City staff faces maintaining pocket parks that do not entirely benefit the greater public.
Council Member Nielsen additionally asked for clarification on the ownership of the planned BBQ
pits for the development. Mr. Jones clarified the ownership would belong to the residents of the
development and noted that Council has asked good questions about the application but expressed
that the type of questions being asked are usually not answered until the final plat approval, not
the preliminary plat. Mayor Giles firmly noted that Council is asking the questions due to an
unprecedented application that is not as complete as previous applications to come before Council.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to continue the public hearing on PUD 22-01, SUB 22-05
& DR 22-05 to December 1, 2022, at 5:30 pm. Council Member Nielsen seconded the motion.
In a voice vote Council Member Maciaszek, Council Member Nielsen, Mayor Giles, Council
Member Nelson, and Council Member Thrower all voted aye, and the motion carried.
BUSINESS AGENDA
I
AB 22-292 Request approval of Resolution 22-39 adopting Short -Term Rental Fire
Inspection Checklist
Community and Economic Development Director Michelle Groenevelt and Fire Chief DeJong
presented to City Council. To improve health and safety and improve neighborhood impacts, the
short-term rental (STR) regulations and permitting process were modified in September 2022 by
McCall City Council. A Health and Safety Inspection was added as a requirement for the protection
of the health and safety of occupants of an STR and surrounding property owners. This inspection
is subject to a fire, health, and safety checklist developed by the Fire Code Official and approved
from time to time by resolution of the McCall City Council. Upon receipt of a complete STR
application and payment of all applicable fees (STR Peiiiiit fee and Fire Inspection fees), the City
Clerk forwards the permit application to the Community and Economic Development Department
for review of compliance with the standards for STRs, and to the McCall Fire District for the
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL
November 3, 2022 Regular Meeting
Page 6 of 11
schedule of the fire, health, and safety inspection. No permit shall be granted unless the STR unit
meets these requirements and has been approved by the McCall Fire District.
Council Member Thrower noted the inspection checklist form is thorough and well thought out
and asked Chief DeJong about reinspection fees. Chief DeJong noted that the Fire District is in the
middle of union negotiations, budget amendments, and fee discussions including the STR
inspection fees. Mayor Giles noted the checklist is reasonable and meaningful. Council Member
Nelson agreed with Council Member Thrower and Mayor Giles and asked if the fire inspection
will apply to the impact area. Director Groenevelt noted the STR Ordinance only applies to City
Limits.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to approve Resolution 22-39 adopting the Short -Term
Rental Inspection Checklist and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
Council Member Thrower seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member
Maciaszek, Council Member Thrower, Mayor Giles, Council Member Nelson, and Council
Member Nielsen all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-289 Request to Approve Resolution 22-38 to Establish a Housing Authority for the
City of McCall
Community and Economic Development Director Michelle Groenevelt presented to Council. The
McCa11 City Council previously discussed the idea of establishing a Housing Authority at the
September 2021 work session. At the time, the Council was supportive of the concept but wanted
to vet the idea through the McCall Area Local Housing Action Plan process and housing consultant
team. The strategy of creating a Housing Organization was one of the top two priorities of the
McCall Area Local Housing Action Plan and specifically establishing a McCall Area Housing
Authority was identified. Under the "Housing Authorities and Cooperation Law," Idaho Code
Sections 50-1901, et seq., the City Council can declare a need for a Housing Authority. Housing
Authorities have a few special authorities granted by state code like issuing bonds and more
flexibility in disposing of lands. Establishing the Housing Authority is the first step, and then the
City Council will need to make Board appointments, and approve a mission, bylaws,
responsibilities, and funding. Also required will be an interagency agreement between the City of
McCall and the Housing Authority at a future meeting.
Council Member Nielsen asked about the time frame between approving the resolution and the
Housing Authority being established. Director Groenevelt noted the next steps after approval of
the resolution is to appoint the board and to set goals. Council Member Nielsen asked how the
authority would be funded. Director Groenevelt noted staff can bring forward a plan to kick start
the efforts of the Housing Authority within fiscal year 23. Mayor Giles commented on Council
being supportive of the Local Housing Action Plan.
Council Member Nielsen moved to approve Resolution 22-38 to establish a Housing
Authority for the City of McCall and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nielsen,
Council Member Maciaszek, Mayor Giles, Council Member Nelson, and Council Member
Thrower all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-288 Request to Dissolve the Housing Advisory Committee (HAC)
Community and Economic Development Director Michelle Groenevelt presented to Council. The
Housing Advisory Committee (HAC) was established by the McCall City Council in 2020 to form
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 11
November 3, 2022 Regular Meeting
a Citizen Advisory Committee to work on housing issues in McCall. The HAC held its first
meeting on July 27, 2020, and the original five (5) members included Pat Hill, Robert Lyons,
Diane Kushlan, Nick Zello, and Toni Curtis. It took a little while for the Committee to identify
specific efforts but when they did, they accomplished several significant actions including but not
limited to contributing to LOT applications for funding for housing, evaluation of city -owned
parcels, attended housing education opportunities, supported "The Toaster" project, and the
development of a Local Housing Action Plan. This Committee was established by the McCall City
Council but not by City Code. With the adoption of the McCall Area Local Housing Action Plan,
there is now a clear roadmap for implementation. The top two priorities in the Plan are working
with the Payette Lakes Sewer District (ongoing) and the formation of a Housing Authority. An
active and diverse group of community partners (public, private, and non-profit sector) were
engaged in developing the McCall Area Local Housing Action Plan and it was recommended that
this steering committee continue to meet. Three of the current HAC Board members serve on that
steering committee and can still be engaged in housing issues. Similarly, the Council will need to
appoint qualified Board members for the McCall Housing Authority. Therefore, it is recommended
by Staff and the HAC Chair Toni Curtis that the City Council dissolve the HAC so staff and
committee member resources can be redirected toward work on housing strategy implementation.
Toni Curtis HAC Chair thanked the Council for the approval of the Housing Authority Resolution
and noted the main goals of the HAC have been met. Mayor Giles commented on the HAC being
established two years ago and the amount of work done by the committee in a short time. Council
Member Nielsen thanked Chair Curtis for the work put in and asked if there is any way the HAC
could help staff the Housing Authority. Director Groenevelt noted active members of the
Committee could be a great resource for staffing the Housing Authority board.
Council Member Maciaszek moved to dissolve the Housing Advisory Committee 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, and Council Member Thrower all voted aye, and the motion
carried.
AB 22-287 Request to Dissolve the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC)
Community and Economic Development Director Michelle Groenevelt presented to Council. The
Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) was established by the McCall City Council in 2009
to form a Citizen Advisory Committee to work on environmental issues within the City of McCall
organization and looking at the broader community environmental issues as requested by some
citizens. The EAC was staffed by the CED Department from 2009-2013 then moved to the Parks
and Recreation Department for staffing. This Committee was established by the McCall City Code.
A code amendment will need to be approved by the City Council to delete this code reference in
the future per MCC 1.10.01. Since the formation of the EAC, which has not been an active
committee for several years, there has been progress on environmental practices within the
organization and the community. Similarly, public involvement has evolved to move beyond the
use of a committee. Sustainability and climate action planning are underway within the City and
will be more formalized in the 2024 McCall Area Comprehensive Plan update. New sustainability
frameworks, like the evaluation of the electric greens' mowers at the golf course, will be used
moving forward. Therefore, it is recommended by Staff that the City Council dissolve the EAC so
staff resources can be more efficiently utilized to engage the public more broadly on environmental
topics and partner with existing environmental groups and organizations when needed. Parks and
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 11
November 3, 2022 Regular Meeting
Recreation Director Kurt Wolf agreed with Director Groenevelt's explanation and history of the
EAC.
Council Member Maciaszek noted being enthusiastic about committees having specific goals to
accomplish. Director Groenevelt commented on the change in community engagement in city
advisory committees. Council Member Thrower commented on the EAC and noted the
Committee's last meetings were geared toward discussions of having met the original goal of the
Committee.
Council Member Nelson moved to dissolve the Environmental Advisory Committee and
authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Thrower seconded
the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nielsen, Council Member Thrower, Mayor
Giles, Council Member Maciaszek, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye, and the
motion carried.
AB 22-286 Request to Approve Resolution 22-37 to Adopt the 2023 Consultant Rosters and
Execute Master Agreements to Applicable Consultants
Public Works Director Nathan Stewart and Staff Engineer Morgan Stroud presented to Council.
The Public Works Department has established a list of consultants to extend Master Agreements
to for the ultimate creation of the City's 2023 Consultant Roster. The following process, consistent
with the 2022 City Purchasing Policy, to establish the Consultant Roster is as summarized:
Advertisements for Requests for Proposals (RFP) for the ten (10) categories for the Consultant
Roster were published on September 22, 2022, and September 29, 2022, the City received 43
Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from various firms for various categories, a scoring committee
of three Staff members (Water Systems Manager, PW Director/City Engineer, and Staff Engineer)
was established, all SOQs were scored, and a minimum scoring value to be accepted on each roster
was established. The establishment of the consultant roster will not alter the City's approved FY23
budget. These rosters will be utilized to secure consultant services contracts for projects that have
been identified in the budget and future projects in future fiscal years. The Consultant Roster
provides a procurement process allowing staff to work more efficiently to meet project goals and
utilize a variety of consultants with specialized expertise.
Mayor Giles asked Staff if the roster was well established and up to Staffs expectations. Engineer
Stroud noted staff is happy with the list of consultants.
Council Member Nelson moved to approve Resolution 22-37 adopting the 2023 Consultant
Roster as proposed by City staff and to authorize the Mayor to execute Master Agreements
with the Staff recommended firms. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a
roll call vote Council Member Nelson, Council Member Maciaszek, Mayor Giles, Council
Member Nielsen, and Council Member Thrower all voted aye, and the motion carried.
AB 22-290 Request to Award Downtown Core Reconstruction: 1st Street - Phase 3A
Subsurface Utilities
Public Works Director Nathan Stewart presented to Council. During October, the City, with the
assistance of Horrocks Engineers, conducted foiinal bidding for the 1s` Street - Phase 3A
Subsurface Utility construction contract. The project consists of subsurface stormwater and water
main utility installations and temporary pavement restoration. This project is the first half of Phase
3 of the Downtown Core Reconstruction project. The second half (Phase 3B) will include formal
surface streetscape improvements (road section, sidewalk, curb and gutter, landscaping lighting,
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 9 of I1
November 3, 2022 Regular Meeting
etc.) and reconstruction (paving, landscaping, and stormwater facilities for the 1' Street Parking
lot) that will occur after the completion of Phase 3A (planned for Summer 2024). Phase 3A was
initially bid in March 2022, but the city rejected the sole bid received due to it being significantly
over the engineer's estimate. The bid opening occurred on 10/19/22, and the city received three
(3) bids. Horrocks Engineers has reviewed them for accuracy and responsiveness.
Council Member Nielsen noted that the new Urban Renewal District is in the same part of
downtown and questioned why the project is not an Urban Renewal project. Director Stewart noted
the Council can collaborate with McCall Redevelopment Agency if Council wishes to do so.
Council Member Thrower moved to award the 1st Street — Phase 3A Subsurface Utility
construction project to Knife River Corporation in the amount of $759,083.00; authorize the
Mayor to sign all necessary documents and authorize staff to manage change orders up to
15% of the contract price. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a roll call
vote Council Member Thrower, Council Member Maciaszek, Mayor Giles, and Council
Member Nelson, all voted aye, Council Member Nielsen voted no, and the motion carried.
AB 22-291 Recommendation to Award Construction Contract for Deinhard Lane, SH-55 to
Samson Trail
Public Works Director Nathan Stewart presented to Council. During October, the City and ITD,
with the assistance of Horrocks Engineers, conducted formal bidding for the Deinhard Lane, SH-
55 to Samson Trail construction project. The project consists of the resurfacing and reconstruction
of Deinhard Lane (between Samson Trail and SH-55), separated pathway maintenance and safety
improvements, and capacity enhancements at the SH-55/Deinhard intersection (additional turn
lanes for northeasterly and southwesterly turning movements). This is a collaborative project with
the Idaho Transportation Department -District 3 (ITD-D3) by state and local agreements enacted
by Resolutions 21-26, 22-08, and 22-36. The project will be jointly funded by the City (--60%) and
ITD (-40%). A state and local agreement (SLA) with ITD for construction cost sharing will be
presented to the Council at a subsequent meeting. Additional funding is provided by multiple
grants awarded to the City totaling $350,000. The bid opening was scheduled for 10/27/22.
Horrocks will review all bids for accuracy and confirmation of a responsive low bid. Horrocks and
Staff will also consult with ITD-D3 to confirm their commitment to fund their portion of the
responsive bid. With these considerations, staff and Horrocks will present the bidding results and
a recommendation for a contract award to City Council at the meeting.
Council Member Nelson moved to award a construction contract for Deinhard Lane, SH-55
to Samson Trail to Granite Excavation in the amount of $3,781,108.77; authorize the Mayor
to sign all necessary documents and authorize staff to manage change orders up to 10% of

City Attorney Katelin Bartles explained the item in front of the Council and the reason for the
proposed changes to the easement. Chris Berge and Lori MacNichol (TEH, LLC) are currently
building Hangar 900 at the McCall Airport infield. Idaho Power requires that an easement be
signed and notarized to extend underground facilities to the new hangar site. Idaho Power will
bore under Taxiway H from an existing transformer near Hangar 608. An above -ground pad-
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 10 of 11

mounted transformer and related facilities will be installed in the airport infield, providing power
to Hangar 900 and all future infield hangar development. The easement is under review by the City
Attorney. T -O Engineers prepared the utility plan in accordance with the City's adopted Airport
Master Plan.
Council Member Nelson moved to approve the Idaho Power easement with edits with the
City of McCall and authorize the Mayor to sign the easement and have it notarized. Council
Member Thrower seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nelson, Council
Member Thrower, Mayor Giles, Council Member Maciaszek, and Council Member Nielsen
