PUBLIC COMMENT 1 Mayor Giles called for public comment at 5:32 p.m. 3 written comments received and are included as Attachment A. Rick Fereday, 315 Burns Rd Mr. Fereday addressed the City Council with support for EV charging stations in the community. May Hardware has four fast chargers for EVs that are days away from opening to the public after three years of working towards bringing EV chargers to the community. Mr. Fereday noted that the Mill Street parking lot is not the parking lot for the EV chargers. Additionally, the deal from Telsa is not lucrative and will not cover the maintenance costs for the chargers. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Giles closed the comment period at 5:37 p.m. REPORTS Chamber Report The City Council had no questions or comments regarding the McCall Area Chamber of Commerce report. Monthly Department Reports The City Council had no questions or comments regarding the monthly department reports. Council Report Council Member Nelson noted how much the community does for youth mental health. Youth mental health is at a crisis level for all communities. Nonprofits in the community are working towards certification to provide boarder services and be eligible for federal grants. Council Member Nielsen gave an overview of the second Joint Wastewater Advisory Group meeting and the progress made on the City and the District working together. Additionally noted was the Winter Recreation Group expecting to send a letter to the City Council regarding Local Option Tax funding. BUSINESS AGENDA MCCALL CITY COUNCIL December 14, 2023 Regular Meeting Page 3 of 11 AB 23-239 Request to Approve MPA-23-01 —Rustic Village Condominiums Minor Plat Amendment for Rustic Village Owners Association City Planner Brian Parker presented to the City Council. A request to consider a petition for a Minor Subdivision Plat Amendment to vacate undeveloped Lots 9 and 16 and dedicate as part of the Common Area Parcel. During the regularly scheduled June 6, 2023 meeting, the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the subject application and unanimously recommended approval to the McCall City Council. Council Member Nelson asked if there were any concerns expressed by the public and staff indicated there had not been. Council Member Maciaszek moved to approve MPA-23-01 for the Rustic Village Owners Association with the Conditions of Approval as identified in the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Decision as recommended by the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission 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, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye, and the motion carried. AB 23-241 Tesla Supercharger in Mill Street Parking Lot Discussion and Direction to Staff Community and Economic Development Director Michelle Groenevelt presented to the City Council. City staff from Community and Economic Development and Public Works have been communicating with Lindsey Fraser, Project Developer from Commercial Charging — Northwest, about the opportunity to place Tesla Level 3 chargers in the City of McCall. Several public parking locations have been evaluated, and it was determined that the Mill Street Parking Lot would be the preferred location for the 8 chargers. Director Groenevelt introduced the project to determine if the McCall City Council is interested in developing a lease agreement for the project. The City would have to do maintenance as the property owner, but Tesla covers all the upfront costs. The City would get $200 per stall per month with the ability to increase up to 5% annually. If Tesla decides to leave, the infrastructure will become the City's property, but the chargers will not remain. The chargers are not exclusive to Tesla vehicles. The EV chargers are consistent with work being done for climate action plan and the possible transition of the City fleet to EV. First Street parking lot and behind the library are planned to have EV chargers as well but not level three chargers. Mayor Giles asked how many hours it takes to charge a Tesla. Director Groenevelt noted the level three chargers are the fastest chargers. Assistant City Planner Meredith Todd noted that the fast chargers can charge within a half an hour or less from a quarter charge. Director Groenevelt additionally noted that the chargers slated for First Street and behind the library are level two chargers and take longer to charge. Director Groenevelt reviewed that Mill Street parking lot was initially chosen because the City already has grant funding available for the planned First Street parking lot and it would take more coordination and possibly impact the grant funding to bring in a private entity for the charging stations. The size of the lot was also taken into consideration with the requirement of 8 charging bays as opposed to the four planned for First Street parking. Future studies with the climate action plan will give the City a much better sense of overall infrastructure needs. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 4 of 11 December 14, 2023 Regular Meeting Council Member Maciaszek noted that a private business already has infrastructure in place and the City has plans to provide chargers in the First Street parking and behind the library which are better suited than Mill Street parking. Mill Street parking is full during the summer, snow storage during the winter and in the winter the parking lot is a longer walk for the public to get places. It makes more sense for Tesla charging stations to be located on private property near businesses such as Ridley's, Rite Aid, and the post office. Council Member Maciaszek also expressed concern regarding the responsibility of the City to provide chargers. Public Works Director Nathan Stewart noted that staff first looked at the First Street parking lot as the best location but with the current project and funding for EV chargers, staff was worried about upsetting the grant funding by bringing in a private company. Council Member Nelson shared the same concerns as Council Member Maciaszek and additionally would like to see local businesses benefit from EV charger revenue where possible. Director Groenevelt noted that it is typical for Tesla to have a contract with the City especially in mountain communities. Telsa prefers a downtown location and expects that there will be quick vehicle turnover. Mill Street allows overnight parking and Tesla does have a way to fine people if the car is parked overnight while not charging so there is an incentive to charge and move. Mayor Giles asked about other mountain communities that have charger stations with Telsa. Director Groenevelt noted that Tesla has a standard lease agreement and for certain communities it is a revenue source and a step to implement climate action planning. Planner Todd noted that other mountain communities are at the stage of setting a specific number of public parking spaces dedicated to EV charging such as 10 or 20% of parking. The infrastructure design proposed is similar infrastructure in other mountain communities. Planner Todd also noted that the City of Vale has not received any complaints from the public regarding the implementation of the charging stations. Council Member Nielsen asked if all 8 chargers must be in the same place. Director Groenevelt noted that it is required to keep all 8 chargers together because of the cost of infrastructure. Council Member Nielsen also asked if there is anywhere else in town closer to existing power infrastructure that has the capacity for charger stations and if Tesla is the only company available to partner with. Also expressed was the lack of EV charging infrastructure included in the downtown plan that has already been executed. Director Stewart noted that Idaho Power can provide the high voltage power anywhere needed but it may impact infrastructure already in place. Power is currently near First Street parking. Tesla does not want to split the charging stations and will consider putting a structure over the charging stations to limit winter maintenance. Director Groenevelt noted that in the next decade the City will also need fleet charging stations and staff has received numerous complaints from the public about the lack of charging stations in the community. Council Member Nielsen asked for clarification on the difference between level 2 and level 3. Mr. Fereday explained the difference in the power infrastructure needed for both levels. Attorney Nichols asked Mr. Fereday about the revenue that comes from EV chargers. Mr. Fereday noted that revenue is an unknown factor at this point but there is no expectation for it to be high. Mr. Fereday additionally reviewed the steps taken to obtain the charging station at May Hardware including a grant from the Department of Environmental Quality. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 5 of 11 December 14, 2023 Regular Meeting Director Groenevelt noted that Tesla pays for all construction costs but does not pay for the snow removal and maintenance. Additionally, specifics have not yet been worked out. Attorney Nichols noted that historically fueling stations didn't make much money selling fuel and convenience stores saved the industry. It is unknown if the businesses with EV chargers will be getting revenue or just providing a service to the community. Director Groenevelt said that staff saw this opportunity as a potential win for the public and a way for the City to not take on a lot of risk. There is also potential to create a maintenance fund that can be reinvested into the parking lot. Staff specifically discussed the pavement condition on Mill Street. Director Stewart noted that the risk to the City would come with the City putting in level three chargers without a private party such as Tesla. The monthly fee for the power service for a level three charger is unknown. Staff have done research on the level two chargers planned for First Street parking and understand the risk is less. Council Member Nielsen asked for clarification on what entity would be paying the power bill for the 8 Tesla chargers. Director Stewart noted that Tesla would be paying the power bill for the charging stations, but the City would be paying the power bill for the charging stations planned at First Street parking. City Manager Anette Spickard asked if Tesla has provided a time frame for implementation. Director Groenevelt noted that Tesla indicated a goal to have something in place with the City by the end of the year. Council Member Nielsen asked what makes the Mill Street parking lot the most viable option as opposed to the parking lot in front of Salmon River Brewery (SRB) or next to My Father's Place. Director Stewart noted that all the parking lots are on the table and staff has expressed concerns regarding the First Street project. Adding 8 stations into the SRB parking lot or the parking lot by My Father's Place would have a much higher ratio of parking spaces to charging stations. Since Mill Street parking lot has a larger number of spaces, the impact on the users that do not have EVs would be less impacted. Council Member Nielsen echoed the concerns of other Council Members regarding the heavy use of Mill Street Parking lot. Director Groenevelt noted that there have not been any recent parking occupancy studies, but staff do know that the parking lot is heavily used on Saturdays in the summer from past parking count efforts. Mayor Giles noted that a responsible approach would be to continue working on the details so that the City Council can make an informed decision at a future meeting. Council Member Maciaszek again questioned if it is the City's responsibility to provide charging stations to the public. The City Council should not be hasty in making a decision on the topic just because the partnering entity has a set time frame in mind. Planner Todd noted that the City has yet to start the Climate Action Plan and the question is not necessarily whose responsibility it is but who can help and who can contribute to the solution. Prior to Tesla's interest in working with the City, staff determined that there would not be a fiscally responsible way to provide level 3 chargers to the public in either the First Street parking lot or on the City Campus. A private entity paying for the installation of the level 3 chargers and meeting that need on City property is a great opportunity to learn and understand what the demand is. Council Member Nielsen asked if there is a way to build level two charging stations that could be upgraded to a level three in the future. Director Stewart noted that there is the ability to upsize the conduits and there are transformers that would need to be upgraded as well but it is a significant upgrade. Director Groenevelt noted that a representative from Tesla can present at a future meeting MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 6 of 11 December 14, 2023 Regular Meeting to answer further questions the Council may have. Council Member Maciaszek noted that having a representative present and provide more options besides Mill Street parking is important. Additionally, Council Member Maciaszek asked how much more tourism the City Council wants to bring to McCall. There are a lot of bigger questions that need to be addressed, especially with traffic concerns downtown without the addition of EV charging stations. Council Member Maciaszek also brought up the issue of non -City commercial use and the requirement of concession agreements for other non -City commercial uses on City property. Council Member Nielsen noted that it would be helpful to have a Tesla representative available to answer questions at a future meeting. Council Member Nelson noted that no parking situation is perfect, and Council Member Nielsen expressed an understanding of why the First Street parking lot is off the table. Director Groenevelt clarified that the City Council is directing staff to come back with more information, a Tesla representative, and alternative locations for the 8 EV chargers. AB 23-238 Request Approval of a One -Year Lease Extension for the Central Idaho Historic Museum Parks and Recreation Director Kurt Wolf presented to the City Council. The Central Idaho Historic Museum is currently leasing the historic Southern Idaho Timber Protective Association (SITPA) grounds that were deeded to the City of McCall by the State of Idaho. When this property was deeded to the City of McCall it was under the condition that it maintain the historic character and an educational and interpretive component as outlined in the deed restrictions. The Central Idaho Historic Museum has maintained the City's obligation to meet the deed requirements since 1993 through the operation of the museum on that property. As outlined in the lease the museum is responsible for the up -keep and maintenance cost of these buildings for a nominal lease rate amount of $10.00 a year. The Parks Department has worked closely with the Museum Board over the past five years to assess the conditions and maintenance needs of the historic buildings on the site. It has become apparent that the cost to keep up on maintenance of this site is slowly exceeding the resources available to a non-profit organization such as the Central Idaho Historic Museum. Staff are proposing a one-year extension with minor changes to the recently expired term of the current lease. This will give the Museum Board time to work with the Parks Department to determine what is best for the future of this site while still fulfilling the City's requirements outlined in the deed from the State of Idaho. The lease document has been reviewed by the City Attorney. Minor Revisions to existing lease include shared maintenance cost of existing buildings and grounds that are jointly used between the museum and the parks department now that the parks shop is located on site and further assistance with utility water billing now that the parks department is located on site and utilizing facilities for programing and public use. Director Wolf reviewed the deed restriction requirements to keep an education aspect on the property and some of the plans for landscaping and managing the damage from beetle infestation in the trees. Mayor noted the undergrounding of power lines in the area this past year. Director Wolf said some trees were lost in the process of undergrounding the powerlines, but the trees were slated to be removed regardless. Council Member Nielsen asked about the power supply at the parks shop. Director Wolf noted that the shop is slated for level two EV chargers but there is infrastructure close by to put in level three chargers if need be. Council Member Maciaszek asked what buildings are maintained by the Central Idaho Historic Museum and Director Wolf stated MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 11 December 14, 2023 Regular Meeting all the buildings on the site with the exception of the shop are maintained by the museum. Council Member Nelson noted that Director Wolf has a great vision for the use of the property and maintaining the deed restriction needs. Director Wolf noted that Staff will come back to the City Council with more information on future use of the property. The City Council had an additional discussion on future use ideas and the history of the property. Council Member Nielsen moved to approve the One -Year Lease Extension for the Central Idaho Historic Museum and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Nelson seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nielsen, Council Member Nelson, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Maciaszek all voted aye, and the motion carried. AB 23-236 Request to Approve Applications for the Tree City USA 2023 Re -Certification and 2023 Growth Award Parks and Recreation Director Kurt Wolf presented to the City Council. The Parks and Recreation Department has fulfilled the requirements set by the Arbor Day Foundation to again qualify as a Tree City USA. In addition, the Parks Department, Tree Committee, and Public Works Department have completed numerous projects that qualify for a growth award in conjunction with the Tree City USA application process. It is the department's goal to utilize continuing education within the department, community forestry reports, systematic maintenance, and tree risk mitigation efforts to obtain adequate points for a 2023 growth award. Council Member Nielsen asked if Tree City USA and Firewise programs are conflicting. Director Wolf noted that there is more conflict with landscape architects than with Tree City USA. Council Member Nielsen asked if the thinning of trees for fire wise has an impact on the award. Director Wolf explained how the application works and the increase in the tree maintenance. Council Member Nelson expressed that tree canopy is a big part of quality of life in the community. Council Member Nelson moved to approve the City of McCall Applications for the Tree City USA 2023 Re -Certification and 2023 Growth Award and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nelson, Council Member Maciaszek, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye, and the motion carried. AB 23-242 Request to Adopt Resolution 23-24 Authorizing an FY24-2028 CAT 938M Small Wheel Loader Lease for the Parks Department Parks and Recreation Director Kurt Wolf presented to the City Council. The Parks Department was budgeted for the Lease of a CAT 938M Small Wheel Loader which was funded through the Local Option Tax (LOT) in conjunction with the Downtown Sidewalk Snow Removal Program. This equipment will work jointly with the Streets Department snow removal equipment to clear the downtown area and numerous public parking lots throughout town, including the Golf Course parking lot. It will also function as a backup for streets plowing operations should a piece of equipment be out of service. To ensure this equipment is compatible with the implements being used with the Streets Department loaders the CAT 938M was vetted and selected during the budget process. Western States have established a joint cooperative purchasing agreement that defines MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 11 December 14, 2023 Regular Meeting 2024 pricing for this equipment that is available to all non-profit entities. Legal counsel has reviewed this agreement and confirmed that the City can participate. The City Council had no questions regarding the adoption of Resolution 23-24. Council Member Maciaszek moved to Adopt Resolution 23-24 authorizing the Mayor to enter into, on behalf of the City of McCall, a "Governmental Equipment Lease -Purchase Agreement" and a "Non -Appropriation Addendum". 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. AB 23-237 Request for Appointment of Men's and Lady's Associations' Representatives to Golf Course Advisory Committee Golf Superintendent Eric McCormick presented to the City Council. The Golf Course Advisory Committee was established to advise and make recommendations to the McCall City Council on matters pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the McCall Municipal Golf Course. The Committee shall consist of six (6) members and three (3) alternate members. Appointments to the Committee shall be made by the Mayor with the concurrence and approval of the City Council and removed in the same manner. The Golf Course Advisory Committee is made up of two members representing the Lady's and Men's Golf Associations respectively. Each Association selects, elects, or appoints an individual for nomination and conveys that name to the City Council for approval. Each Association will define the term for which their representative is to be appointed to the Committee. Three members at large: these members are residents but not limited to the City limits of McCall; Requirements include year around residency and one of the following: Season or Lifetime pass holder and/or have an established Idaho Golf Association Handicap at the McCall Golf Course. One designated representative from Spring Mountain Ranch by agreement with the City of McCall. Three alternate members representing each of the Lady's Golf Association, the Men's Golf Association, and Spring Mountain Ranch. These alternate members are encouraged to attend and participate in the monthly meetings; however, they would only have a vote or count toward the Committee quorum of three (3) if the regular member of their respective group was absent. The City Council had no questions regarding the appointment of members to the GCAC. Council Member Maciaszek moved to appoint Jim Bodle as the Men's Club representative and Kara Jeffus as the Women's Club representative to the Golf Course Advisory Committee. 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. AB 23-235 Request to Approve a Turf Equipment mower rental agreement Golf Superintendent Eric McCormick presented to the City Council. The Golf Course fleet of equipment is coming off a 5 -year lease at the end of December. The new equipment to replace it has been delayed until mid to late summer. Staff are requested to rent back the equipment at a MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 9 of 11 December 14, 2023 Regular Meeting monthly rate of $4,500 per month until the new equipment arrives. This will be less expensive than budgeted, and the equipment is still in good shape. The City Council had no questions regarding the approval of a Turf Equipment Mower rental agreement. Council Member Nelson moved to approve a Turf Equipment mower rental agreement and authorize the Mayor sign all necessary documents. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nelson, Council Member Maciaszek, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye, and the motion carried. AB 23-234 Request to Approve a 5 -year lease for a Ventrac Tractor 4520 w/accessories Golf Superintendent Eric McCormick presented to the City Council. This lease is to replace a Toro 3280 mower/snow blower 5 -year lease. The Toro will be going off lease the end of the month and Staff is wanting to replace it with the Ventrac because it is available, and the Toro is not. The snow blower also works better on the Ventrac than on the Toro. The Parks Department has this same machine and has been happy with it. The annual lease payment will be $16,066 for 5 years. This is included in the golf operation budget. Mayor Giles noted the upside to having the same equipment between departments in case the need arises to share equipment. Council Member Nielsen asked if the equipment will be used in the summer as well. Superintendent McCormick noted that the mower also comes with a broom to sweep cart paths and it can mow around trees and the edge of cart paths. Council Member Nelson moved to approve a 5 -year lease for a Ventrac Tractor 4520 w/accessories and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Maciaszek seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nelson, Council Member Maciaszek, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye, and the motion carried. AB 23-240 Request to Approve Resolution 23-23 Adopting the McCall City Council Meeting Schedule for Calendar year 2024 City Clerk BessieJo Wagner presented to City Council. McCall City Code §1.8.2 states that regular Council meetings will be held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month except when such regular meetings fall on a legal holiday, then the meetings would be held on the preceding day unless otherwise fixed by the Council. Historically, the Council has only altered their schedule for Holidays and the AIC Annual conference. The attached calendars and resolutions reflect two different options. Should the Council wish to adopt a new Council Meeting Schedule, different than proposed, the Council will need to direct staff to prepare the appropriate documents to make those changes. A change to accommodate the City Officials Day in the Capital for January 25th can be made if need be. If no change is made, then the Council President would need to be available to run the meeting since Mayor Giles and Manager Spickard will be at the event. Council Member Maciaszek clarified that the only difference between the two options is the scheduling for spring break. Council Consensus was option 2 to plan for spring break. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 10 of 11 December 14, 2023 Regular Meeting Council Member Maciaszek moved to approve Resolution 23-23, option 2, adopting the McCall City Council Meeting Schedule for calendar year 2024 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, and Council Member Nelson all voted aye, and the motion carried. Upcoming Meetings Schedule Discussion The City Council discussed upcoming meetings. Valley County Commissioners have asked to have a regularly scheduled meeting to report to the City Council. Council Member Nelson asked how to send topics for the retreat to staff. Manager Spickard noted that staff prefer to keep topics on the agenda broad to facilitate discussion. Council Member Nielsen noted it would be nice to touch base on where the City planning is and what has been accomplished. Treasurer Stokes and Director Stewart requested a special meeting on January 29`h for the water revenue bond.

You have been busy in trying to make the best decisions for our Jewel of a town. I hope as you approach 2024 that you can Focus Planning synergy. Example would be Between Town Council and The Planning Committee. It seems that they are not on the same page . EG- Town Council makes statement that more affordable housing needed .Planning and zone approves condos/Apartments for trailer park location that far exceeds residents monthly rent and forces them to become unfordable . i would suggest a Independent Individual to monitor and carry out town charter of AFFORDABLE HOUSING. this would entail not approving plans that are contrary to charter . Perhaps a pause period for final approvals from P&Z meetings . The town will not make it without a plan to entice employees to come and work in our great city. The hospital lost 33 potential employees this year because they had no place to live and turned jobs down to move to McCall. Happy New Year!!! Re wake boats. Not everyone loves these. It's no longer just Mile High and Cheap Thrills renting these. We have 2 new buildings for water sports and the space working from the post office parking area. These businesses don't support themselves by renting paddle boards. To have some safe days on the water for canoes, paddle boards etc consider odd/even days. Everyone can enjoy some time on the lake. It can only support so much.
