MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 2 of 9 November 30, 2023 Regular Meeting 12. AB 23-222 Request Approval of the Recreation Dept. Office Space Lease Agreement Extension with Treasure Valley Transit The Parks & Recreation Department administrative staff will continue to require temporary office space during the construction of the new library building and the remodeling of the old library for the remainder of construction. Department staff have been utilizing office space in the transit building at 210 E. Park Street under the current lease agreement for the two office spaces, as well as shared use with the transit center of the remaining common area which includes, restrooms, lobby, conference room, and break room. Based on Treasure Valley Transits assessment of contracted building janitorial and maintenance requirements the agreement comes out to a balance in value of office space rent for building services which will be performed by parks and recreation staff. These services are like in nature to those the department is already performing on adjacent City facilities such as City Hall and include janitorial, minor building maintenance, snow removal, and landscape maintenance. In addition, the Parks and Recreation Department will share the duties of front desk services as outlined in the lease agreement. Department staff estimate building utility costs and maintenance demand to be less than the current costs associated with the annex building and current office space. The value and location of this temporary office space will work well for department day-to-day operations and the feeling is mutual in that it will benefit the community transit operation. Action: Approve the proposed lease extension agreement for Parks & Recreation Staff office space during the construction period of the new library and remodel of the old library space and authorize the mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Nelson moved to approve the Consent Agenda as submitted. Council Member Thrower seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Nelson, Council Member Thrower, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Maciaszek all voted aye, and the motion carried. PUBLIC COMMENT Mayor Giles called for public comment at 5:34 p.m. 14 written comments received included as Attachment A. David Gallipoli, 405 Floyd Mr. Gallipoli expressed his thrill at the young community members in attendance and commented on the environment being affected in Valley County by the approval of larger marinas on the local reservoirs. Mr. Gallipoli went into detail on how wake boats cause issues with pollutants in lake water, disturb fish habitat and cause algae blooms. JJ Campbell, 200 Scott street Mr. Campbell expressed the need for sober housing and emergency shelters locally instead of bussing people out of the community. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Giles closed the comment period at 5:40 p.m. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 3 of 9 November 30, 2023 Regular Meeting PUBLIC HEARING 1 5:41 p.m. AB 23-223 Request to Direct staff to prepare Findings and Conclusions for CUP - 23 -02 — 507 1ST Street Short -Term Rental for James Bode Council Member Nelson moved to Open the public hearing. Council Member Thrower seconded the motion. In a voice vote, all voted aye, and the motion carried. City Planner Brian Parker presented to the City Council an Application for a Conditional Use Permit to utilize an existing single-family home as a Short -Term Rental with an occupancy exceeding 10 persons. During their regularly scheduled October 3, 2023 meeting, the McCall Area Planning & Zoning Commission (the P&Z) conducted a properly noticed public hearing and recommended approval of the subject application. Planner Parker noted that the P&Z recommended approval of the installation of fire sprinklers. The McCall Fire Chief stated in a letter that the sprinkler system is not needed. Mayor Giles asked if there has been any review by the Planning and Zoning Commission since the Fire Chiefs proposed change to not require a sprinkler system. Planner Parker noted that the P&Z Commission has not been communicated with about the change to the fire sprinkler recommendation. Council Member Thrower asked about the condition regarding the engineering approval. Planner Parker noted that the applicant was requested to fill out a water meter sheet to ensure the correct meter size was in use at the house. Council Member Nelson asked about the parking situation. Planner Parker reviewed the possible parking options for the house with a total of 4 parking spaces including the garage. Council Member Maciaszek asked if the City had anything in the process that discusses if the fire inspection is required to be approved before the CUP process and the short-term rental permit is approved. Additionally, Council Member Maciaszek disclosed that he has had conversations with the applicant in relation to his real estate business. Planner Parker noted that applicants are encouraged to apply for the CUP, STR permit and fire. inspection at the same time. The applicant is in process with the STR permit and is only held up on the fire inspection because of a new special -order window required to pass the inspection. Director Groenevelt noted that prior to renting a short-term rental with higher occupancy the applicant is required to pass a fire inspection. The Applicants, James and Amber Bode presented to the City Council. The STR has been in operation for 3 years and there have never been police or fire calls to the house. The only call received was a call from a neighbor about an off -leash dog. The rules in the STR now state that dogs must be on leash. Prior to the new ordinance the occupancy of the STR was 14 so there is still a reduction in occupancy to 12 people. As for the parking situation, parking in the driveway off First Street would not be able to be used but there are 2 more parking spaces in the driveway off Washington. The Bodes use the house often when it is not being rented out and the fire inspection has mainly been passed with the first inspection happening in February of 2023. The windows that were called out in the inspection were called out for not meeting the International Building Code. The Fire Department did not agree to an exemption to the code. The Bodes have new windows and the contractor should be installing the windows next week. Ladders were also added upstairs even though they were not required. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 4 of 9 November 30, 2023 Regular Meeting Mayor Giles noted the importance of safety and commended the applicants for the effort put in to ensure the house is safe and up to the inspection standards. Council Member Thrower asked about the total parking without the First Street driveway parking. Mr. Bode noted that there are 4 parking spots in the back driveway off Washington Street and one spot in the garage. Council Member Thrower additionally asked about the local contact. Mr. Bode noted that there is a 24/7 local contact, but the STR is managed by the Bodes and has been for 3.5 years. Council Member Nelson asked if the reduction of occupancy had a financial impact on the applicant. Mrs. Bode noted that the max occupancy used to be 14 but it has never been marketed for more than 12 because the Bodes did not want people to sleep on couches or the house be destroyed as it is still used by the Bodes regularly. Council Member Maciaszek had no questions for the applicant. Mayor Giles asked about the conflict of interest for Council Member Maciaszek and Attorney Nichols noted that since the connection was disclosed there is no conflict. Mr. Bode addressed the planning and zoning condition to require fire sprinklers but now that condition should be removed. Additionally, Mr. Bode noted that the required water sizing survey was sent to staff prior to the planning and zoning meeting. Mayor Giles called for public comment at 6:03 p.m. 1 written comment received against the application included as Attachment B. David Gallipoli, 405 Floyd St Mr. Gallipoli expressed concern for the application being approved without the fire egress windows installed. Additionally, it is impossible to enforce how many people stay in a rental and the higher occupancy adds more waste to an already leaking sewer pond. The community needs to have a plan to expand the sewer treatment plant. Mr. Gallipoli requested that the decision be tabled. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Giles closed the public comment period at 6:07 p.m. Planner Parker noted that before the house can be used as a STR after January 1, 2024 the applicant must obtain the CUP, STR permit and a passing fire inspection. Additionally, condition number two establishes compliance with the STR permit standards which includes getting the egress windows installed. Council Member Thrower clarified that the applicant must show a passing fire inspection to be issued the STR permit. The City Council had no additional questions for the applicant or City staff. Council Member Thrower moved to close the public hearing. Council Member Nelson seconded the motion. In a roll call vote, Council Member Thrower, Council Member Nelson, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Maciaszek all voted aye, and the motion carried. Council Member Thrower noted that without the fire inspection being completed the house could still be rented for an occupancy of six. It was further clarified that the short-term rental permit cannot be obtained until the fire inspection has been passed and without the permit the house cannot be rented. Council Member Thrower additionally expressed that fire inspections should be completed before applicants come through planning and zoning for CUPs and asked about the findings in the packet. Planner Parker noted that the findings are not being approved because they are the planning and zoning findings. Staff will bring back the City Council's findings and facts at MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 5 of 9 November 30, 2023 Regular Meeting a future meeting. Council Member Nelson noted that the process has been put in place and has been correctly followed and the items discussed need to be completed before the permit is approved. Council Member Thrower moved to Direct staff to prepare fmdings and conclusions for CUP -23-02 — approving the 507 1st Street Short Term Rental for James Bode with suggested conditions of approval identified in the Staff Report and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Nelson seconded the motion. In a roll call vote, Council Member Thrower, Council Member Nelson, Mayor Giles all voted aye, and Council Member Maciaszek voted no, and the motion carried. BUSINESS AGENDA AB 23-227 Request to reject all bids for the Downtown Core Reconstruction: 1st Street - Phase 3B Surface Improvements City Engineer Morgan Stroud and Economic Development Planner Delta James presented to the City Council. During October, the City, with the assistance of Horrocks Engineers, conducted formal bidding for the First Street - Phase 3B Surface Improvements construction contract. The project consists of surface utility, drainage, sidewalk and streetscape, roadway section, paving and signage and striping improvements. The project also includes improving the First Street Parking lot. This project (Phase 3B) is the second half of Phase 3 of the Downtown Core Reconstruction project. Phase 3A (subsurface utilities) was constructed during summer 2023. Phase 3B will require approximately 114 days to construct beginning in mid -May and concluding in mid - October. The bid opening occurred on November 16, 2023 and the City received two bids during the opening. The Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant funding requires a minimum of three bids. As a result, Staff is required to reject all bids and rebid the project. The rebid schedule is already underway with new advertising on November 30, December 7, and December 14. A new bid opening date is anticipated for December 21, with a City Council contract recommendation expected at the December 28 meeting. Council Member Nelson asked if the staff expects to receive three bids in the new time frame. Planner James reviewed the requirement process and noted that if staff does not receive three bids again, the City is eligible to ask for an alleviation to that requirement and proceed with the project. Council Member Nelson asked if the short turnaround time meets the requirements of the grant. Mayor Giles noted staff has previously suggested items for the following year be bid in the fall instead of the spring. Morgan noted that there seems to be more bids submitted in the fall instead of the spring when most companies already have their summer schedule set. Council Member Nelson moved to reject both bids for the 1st Street — Phase 3B Surface. Improvements project; and authorize staff to work with Horrocks Engineers on rebidding the project for construction in 2024.Council Member Thrower seconded the motion. In a roll call vote, Council Member Nelson, Council Member Thrower, Mayor Giles, and Council Member Maciaszek all voted aye, and the motion carried. AB 23-224 Request to approve Idaho Women's Charitable Foundation grant application for construction of the Library Art Gallery MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 6 of 9 November 30, 2023 Regular Meeting Economic Development Planner Delta James Presented to the City Council. The Idaho Women's Charitable Foundation (IWCF) offers annual Pooled -fund Grants to southwest Idaho organizations in amounts of up to $30,000 for projects in six interest areas: cultural arts, education, environment, financial stability, health, and rural communities. Eligible projects include targeted capital construction expenses and funded activities must occur between May 2024 and December 2024. The gallery space that will be constructed as part of the renovation of the existing McCall Library building during the 2024 phase of the Library Expansion Project aligns well with the IWCF grant timeline and cultural arts, education, and rural communities interest areas. Once completed, the gallery will offer 101 linear feet of display space at the heart of the library's community wing, providing the McCall area's first public exhibit opportunity to host rotating works of local artists and students, cultural and historical displays, and more. The gallery will be free for residents and visitors to enjoy during regular library open hours, exhibit opening receptions, and whenever events, programs, or public meetings are held in the adjacent community meeting rooms. The total cost of construction of the gallery, including rough carpentry, drywall, flooring, electrical, lighting, and the architectural woodwork is $42,400. The IWCF grant request will be $30,000, with Library Foundation funding providing the balance of $12,400. Council Member Nelson asked if there is a conflict of interest since Council Member Nelson is the chair of a nonprofit that wrote a letter in favor of the grant application. Attorney Nichols noted that there is no conflict. Council Member Thrower moved to approve submittal of an. Idaho Women's Charitable Foundation grant application to support construction of the Library Art Gallery and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Nelson seconded the motion. In a roll call vote, Council Member Thrower, Council Member Nelson, Mayor Giles, Council Member Maciaszek all voted aye, and the motion carried. AB 23-225 Request to approve submittal of a Children Pedestrian Safety Grant application for Davis Ave Phase 2 pedestrian improvements Community and Economic Development Director Delta James presented to the City Council. The Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC) administers the Children Pedestrian Safety (CPS) grant program which provides up to a maximum of $250,000 to local jurisdictions for pedestrian improvements adjacent to existing roadways that primarily support non -motorized circulation of children. Awarded projects must be "shovel -ready" and complete by December 2024. No local matching funds are required. The second phase of Davis Ave roadway improvements between Blue Water Circle north to the Lick Creek Road intersection is scheduled for the 2024 construction season which fits within the grant project timeline. The project is designed to include widened paved roadway shoulders and a short section of separated paved pathway near Gold Glove Park to increase bicycle and pedestrian safety. Because these pathway improvements are occurring along a school bus route and will improve access to Ponderosa Park, and the ball fields, ice rink and playground at Gold Glove Park, the project is eligible for CPS grant funding. The City Council had no questions regarding the request to approve submittal of a Children Pedestrian Safety Grant application. MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 7 of 9 November 30, 2023 Regular Meeting Council Member Maciaszek moved to approve submittal of a Children Pedestrian Safety Grant application for Davis Ave Phase 2 pedestrian improvements and authorize Mayor to sign all necessary documents.

I Avenue have done this when I first started renting several years ago, and again with McCall the change last year. The majority of my letters are sent to home owners Idaho living in other states and some listed under escrow companies. Many of 83638 these people have management companies who are managing the properties and are not the people who would be notified if there was an issue with my renters. Also, if the homeowners really care, they hold on to the letters, so having them.sent yearly does no good. l have some that live around me, but do not have PO boxes listed and I delivered those in person to be sure I fully completed that part of the policy, and all of them threw the letter away in front of me and told me how stupid it was. Not a good feeling when you -are doing this because you have to, not because you agree with it. We rent our place out to make ends meet so that my wife can work in McCall full time and still have a place to stay. With all of these changes that isn't going to last much longer. It's sad to say because she is valued at what she_does and we try to help as -much as we can, but . we cannot compete with actual management companies doing this for profit, when we are doing it just to survive and help the working force.of McCall. November 30, 2023 Page 1 of 13 General Public Comments Attachment A Name Address Email Content Keira 12765 Susettek2@gmail.com Dear McCall City Council, My name is Keira Rebman and I am a member of Rebman HWY 55 the sophomore class of 2026. At the local McCall -Donnelly High School. I Donnelly have lived in the McCall Donnelly area my entire life. I wanted to bring Idaho something of great importance to your attention. The craftsmanship of our 83615 homes. In this commentary assignment, I will take you through the reasons that we should push for better roofing design and installation in McCall Idaho. For starters, better construction techniques including using winter approved framing would greatly benefit our housing for a variety of reasons. It would create homes that could withstand our harsh weather, cutting down on homeowners' costs for roof upkeep, and, since winterized homes normally have an A shaped framing structure, snow removal would not have to be done hardly ever, if at all. This means that no matter what, the homeowners that we all want to stay for longer periods of time will not have to spend so much on their homes. However, that brings another question to light, what are the features of McCall architecture that are so well, unreasonable? Now, to understand this, you have to take into account a roofer's perspective. I talked at length with my father, a roofer in Mccall for over 20 years about these things, doing extensive research as well on the NRA (national roofing associations) guidelines. What has rung true are these few very important details. When winter arrives in a resort like our town, snow accumulates rather quickly. When snow builds up, there must be a place for it to sluff off naturally, or the roof will cave in. For example, I live on a farm, and I had 2 silos outside of my room, one winter, a particularly hard snow set in, and whilst removing snow, my father's boss fell right through the roof. This goes to show that without proper maintenance, or proper framing structure, a building is going to collapse upon itself in our winters: It should also be noted that the more valleys and perforations that are on a roofline allow for more leakage opportunity, as they are a very weak point on a roof. On top of that when these valleys and perforation flashings are not installed correctly, leakage is almost inevitable. Correct installation is not expensive in the long run and will last years, but the snow removal for our homes is. Most of the new houses that are being built have too many valleys and not enough overhang, or rooflines that will dump snow in front of doors, blocking entryways, and warping siding on our homes. In addition, many of the modern homes that are being installed in our neighborhoods are contributing to our inability to have affordable housing. In our building codes, it is advised that our homes are built to cater to the inevitable factor that we are a "Year-round resort". The homes being built, as previously stated, are more modern and built by people who are not planning to stay through the winter. The architects do not plan on doing snow removal in our driveways, or, on a non -winter friendly house. What if we pushed for our community to be built to be winter friendly? Imagine how much easier it would be for those people to plow during the winter, how much time it would take, and how much less money the city would have to spend to pay for it if we would just cater to this simple line; year-round resort. Now, I don't have all the answers, I don't have the means of getting you everything you need. However, I wanted to bring to attention this subject. All that I am trying to convince you of; is to spread awareness. To encourage homes that are designed and built by people who have experienced the effects of winter in our mountains. Not people who are trying to create a band aid fix for a 8 - month long problem. Most of all, we should spread awareness about the best materials to keep our homes functional during the frigid winter months. Thanks, Keira Rebman November 30, 2023 Page 2 of 13 General Public Comments Attachment -A Name Address Email Content Abi 401 N nachmana@mdsd.org Good morning. My name is Abi Nachman, and I am a sophomore at McCall Nachman Mission Donnelly High School. My address is 401 North Mission Street. To start off, Street I want everyone to take a second and picture McCall. Pause. Show of McCall hands, who thought of the lake in their picture? The lake is a HUGE part of Idaho McCall, feeding our entire town's drinking water supply and irrigation. If 83638 something were to go wrong in our lake, it would very literally shut off the water supply to everyone in city limits, including businesses, hotels, and homes for residents and tourists. Our town and state do a very good job of keeping our lake clean and free of pollution, so it is safe for everyone. The big question is though, are we doing enough? Some ongoing problems our city is working to resolve right now include controlling boat traffic both on the lake and at the boat ramp and making these areas safe for tourists and swimmers. There is talk of expanding the boat ramps and adding 90 more boat slits to the Marina with a boardwalk. While this would be good for tourism and our economy, it increases the risk of something that is not talked about very often, and that is bringing in invasive species. The nearest water inspection station to McCall is up by Kooskia lake and Redfish Lake, which are both 3 hours away. We have no way to clean people's boats before or after they go on the lake, and this could lead to a rampage infestation of invasive species. If you heard about the Quagga Mussel outbreak in the Snake River, you may understand why this issue is so huge. This outbreak occurred September 18, 2023, and we were left completely defenseless against this microscopic killer. One mature female mussel could produce 1 million microscopic larvae, called veliger's. The mussel would clog pipes for irrigation and other water sources, and it would choke out any organisms in its path. Fish and wildlife have, and will,. die because of this invasive species. This issue escalated so fast that no one had time to even think, and we had a governor's order to release 11,000 gallons of pesticides in a 5.mile stretch of the Snake River. Residents were not given updates until later and nobody knew if they could still drink the water, or even use it to irrigate crops. The reason I am telling you about this incident is to show the effects it would have on our lake if something like this were to happen. The lake is the main source of water for almost 100% of homes in city limits, and if it were to be shut down, it would be a disaster. The lake is only 8.3 square miles and if invasive species were to invade our lake, especially the quagga mussel, we would have no time to react, and the lake would have to be shut down. Wildlife in our area would die and hundreds of people would lose water. This is an issue that we MUST prevent, and we cannot let it be put into the hands of nature. Dumping thousands of gallons of pesticides into the lake would completely devastate our economy for a period, considering it is completely based around tourism regarding the lake. We must act as soon as we can and with the potential new remodels for the marina, we need to include a water inspection station so that we can stay safe, and everyone can continue to use the lake.

My address is 401 Mission St. I am here to talk about Street something you all have heard at least 100 times now, and that is affordable McCall housing issues. Now I feel like I have a unique perspective on this issue, as Idaho I've only lived here just over a year and am staying at a rental house. From 83638 the research I have gathered, I've realized McCall's calling card has and will always be tourism. The hospitality industry makes up almost half of the employment in McCall, and due to the shortages in housing, workers must travel from multiple locations to work here. Today I am here to give a few suggestions on how to fix this problem, and how the community will be impacted. McCall, according to assistant city planner, Meredith Todd, is close to 1,000 housing units behind what is needed, as a result 82% of people have to commute to work. Business hours are shortening due to the workforce being inadequate. A solution to this problem could be state incentives, which are supplemental to federal ones, issue credits to developers for the acquisition or construction of rental housing targeted to lower -income households. While cities do not have direct control over how all funds are distributed, incentive programs encourage private developers to increase the supply of affordable housing. Another way that other cities have been solving the problem is the Vacant Home Tax (VHT) which increases the supply of housing by discouraging owners from leaving their residential properties unoccupied year-round. Homeowners who choose to keep their properties vacant will be subject to this tax. Like in 2017, Vancouver introduced a vacancy tax alongside the regional government of British Columbia. The city's "Empty Home Tax" charged 1% of the property value (since raised to 3%) for residential properties not occupied for at least six months of the year, with some exemptions. As we all know, McCall has around 75% of homes vacant at least 6 months out of the year. The logic behind that is that a vacancy tax will encourage vacant property owners to sell or rent their properties to tenants. One last solution to this problem is that cities can review and update their zoning regulations to allow for higher -density development, mixed -use neighborhoods, and inclusionary zoning. Inclusionary zoning mandates a certain percentage of affordable housing in new developments, ensuring that socioeconomic diversity is maintained as neighborhoods evolve. Specifically, for McCall R1 zoning could be increased to R4 zoning that would allow for more dense neighborhoods to be placed in the impact zone. Concessions could be given to existing homeowners in R1 zoned properties to allow for ADU's or enhanced property uses as part of the zoning change. Now I know a lot needs to be done for these solutions to be used. But we must try. McCall is a beautiful place that is slowly being turned into an unaffordable place for future generations to live. Businesses are running short of employees and the workforce isn't even from McCall. Building more houses will stimulate McCall's economy and help employees live closer to employers, shop in local stores and be more integrated into our community.

Mission Street McCall ID 83638 riderm@mdsd.org Thank you, council members, for the opportunity to speak today... My name is Mia Rider, and my address is 401 N. Mission Street. I have attehded McCall Donnelly School District for six years. Biking is a very large part of my life. I am a member of the McCall Area Youth Mountain Bike Team. I have participated for six years. I am extremely passionate about bikes, and anything related to them. I believe that McCall does not have enough bike racks available to the public. The city has a plan in place to install more bike racks. This plan includes an agreement with developers that says they will install bike racks when they build something new, I agree with this plan. Due to our climate, we need bike racks that can withstand the elements. That is why we need bike racks that are covered. When people ride their bikes, they want to have a spot to park them that is safe from the elements and secure. Bike racks are also a gateway to more people on bikes and less people in cars. According to transalt.org "bike racks encourage people to ride bikes which is more eco-friendly." If more people rode their bikes to work, to school; and to just get around can help reduce the McCall carbon footprint. Historically bikes are known to be a more environmentally friendly means of transportation than a car. However, when there is no place to park a bike, or all the bike racks are full, it discourages people from using a bike as their mode of transportation. If we do not continue to install more bike racks, less and less people will choose to ride their bike to town. Overall, bike racks are an integral part of this community. They help encourage people to ride bikes, get exercise, and reduce the carbon impact of the City of McCall. November 30, 2023 Page 5 of 13 General Public Comments Attachment A -- Name Address Email Content Aaron 12949 havensa@mdsd.org You all should know there is a housing crisis going on in most places. If not, Havens SISCRA is the rock you're living under for sale? There's a lot of reasons for this Rd. crisis. A lot of people are saying it's the old people's fault. They're retiring, Donnelly divorcing and creating new households, driving demands up. When in ID 83615 doubt, blame the boomers. It goes without saying that a ton of people are flooding here from California, creating even more households. This isn't just happening here either, it's a phenomenon known to resort communities everywhere. But last time I checked none of you have any control over what happens in South Lake Tahoe. Obviously, the problem has come to everyone's attention and is trying to be solved. Ski resorts here are buying out land and creating employee housing. This is great for a 19 -year -old chairlift operator who doesn't want to commute, but what about families, local or otherwise? Disregarding the commute, the average rent in McCall is $2100, as opposed to places like Boise where it's $1500. It's still a lot, but every dollar counts. And this is just for a two -bedroom apartment, if you want to buy a house, the average price is $760k. When I first moved here, my family lived in a house that looked like the previous owners were in the midst of a global disaster and abandoned it. The worst part? We had to move to a completely different house in Donnelly because we couldn't afford the disaster one. Our current house now is very nice, and I couldn't be more grateful. However, it makes me think, Donnelly is now a growing community, who knows how I'm going to be able to live in a house in the future? The best idea is to get into my father's will as his firstborn son and inherit the house, which is pretty bleak. Okay, great, we know there's an issue, what's going to be done about it? The McCall website had plenty of information available regarding different solutions to our housing issue. One such solution involves taxes dedicated to local housing. You're probably aware of the idea of a local option tax, where things like cabins, beer, and restaurants cost extra to profit from tourism. This plan provided by the website takes it a few steps further and implements local option tax until 2028. Then it's followed by a scoring system and prioritizing long-term affordability. Finally, the funds from the local option tax will go towards nothing but housing, making sure none of it goes to the state. The state has enough money already. I understand that this comment was not exactly interesting, in fact just the process of writing it drove me to tears. But this place means a lot to other people, I might as well contribute to making it better for them. Thank you for reading.

I am Lilli Mihlfeith, and my address is 1175 S. Mihlfeith South Samson Trail. I have been living in McCall and going to the local schools for Samson seven years. Throughout the years I have lived here, we have recycled. But Trail it is always a chore because you have to break down the boxes and McCall separate the other items, and you just want to take the easier path of just Idaho taking it to the landfill or throwing it in the trash. But how good is that for 83638 the community? The ecosystem? The carbon footprint? The community is often undereducated on how to recycle and compost. Therefore, they tend to take the easy path and take it to the landfill. And 30% of that garbage is food waste. So, I think thatwe should have community compost centers because most of the gas released from food waste is methane. The gas that is most destructive to our ozone layer and contribution to greenhouse gases. Our landfills, where all our trash goes, are uncapped. In Idaho Falls they have a plan in place to build a cover for their landfill that will help keep runoff water from sweeping away debris and withstand a 1,000 -year flood. The cover will be made with natural materials. As for composting, Boise has a program called "Curb it." They have three bins, trash, recycling, and compost. It is free to everyone, and the compost site is just 20 miles south of town. It is for anything organic, and it comes back to the community to help them grow healthy gardens. On the other hand, the ecosystem and our carbon footprint would benefit from composting. According to the EPA Landfill gas, LFG, is 50% carbon dioxide and 50% methane. This happens because there is a methane producing bacteria that eats the waste after about one year, creating and releasing the methane. Methane is shown to be 28-36% more effective at trapping greenhouse gases (a.k.a. GHG) than carbon dioxide. To help reduce GHG emissions, we should reduce the number of trucks going to the landfill and reduce food waste; this would be benefitted by local compost centers. As stated by Valley County commissioner Hasbrouck, "'Right now we're shipping four to five semi -truck loads a day of trash, and they're $1200 or $1300 for each truck,"If we can drop that down one truck a day.... that's awesome!" Another solution is incentivizing people to reduce waste by suggesting a lower price. Overall, local compost centers would encourage people to compost. !nurn reducing the number of trucks going to the landfills and food waste taken to them. It would also encourage people to be more mindful about their carbon footprint. Thank you! November 30, 2023 Page 7 of 13 General Public Comments Attachment Name Address Email Content Sophie 222 Little snyders@mdsd.org My Speech Sophie Snyder Teenagers make up 10% of McCall. Though it's Snyder Pond Crt. obviously a small amount, we don't feel small. All of MDHS, Heartland McCall ID High, and half of PLMS are over 13 and under 18. Being a Teen is weird. 83638 You don't want to hang out at Brown Park anymore, but you're obviously not old enough to go to bars. We can go cliff jumping and swim in the lake during the summertime, but if you can't afford a boat, you have limited options. Speaking about limited options, in the winter, you can like skiing or snowboarding or you're out of luck. When thinking about what I would want to write my speech on, something immediately jumped out at me. A Rec. Center. Before I got too excited, I realized, after viewing the PROS plan, that one is already one planned. I also spoke recently with Kurt Wolf to ask him about the PROS plan. I asked him what the actual inside of the rec. center would look like, to which he replied that they would firstly see what people WANT in the rec. Center. I saw this as a perfect opportunity to conduct my own research. I looked at the statistics in the PROS plan on the most popular options that could be installed. I took the top four most popular options, and I interviewed about 70 students on what teenagers would want: Ranked from least to most wanted: Multi -Sport Fieldhouse Rock Climbing Gym Indoor Pools Indoor Event Space I understand that most of us students will not be able to use this Rec. Center due to college and moving, but we want a brighter future for upcoming teens. Implementing a rock -climbing gym and/or a multi -sport fieldhouse would not only give the opportunity to be active without being cold, but also to help kids become mentally strong. Everyone knows that when you exercise your body releases endorphins, causing you to have less anxiety and feel happier. An indoor fieldhouse and a rock -climbing gym would encourage even the people who don't like snow to get out and get active. Another benefit would be giving more kids jobs. I know many people who would love to work at a rock -climbing gym, including me. When kids get jobs early it not only benefits their bank account but also their work ethic, responsibility, and leadership skills. The multi -sport fieldhouse would let our teens practice year-round for the sports they love, when usually most would stop when the snow comes. There looks like there's no problems with this plan, right? Well... I guess money is a semi -big part of this and something that would keep advisors from wanting to carry this plan through. As the city council, you may wonder if people would want and/or use the recreation center. For my friend's birthday we went down to Boise, and we did Indoor Rock Climbing, we all agreed it was the highlight of our trip. The gym was full of people (teens and adults) who were supportive, kind, and very ripped, from rock climbing of course. And it's not a coincidence that when I conducted my survey, everyone was beyond excited about the idea of us non -adults, non -kids being able to have something that's meant for us. Obviously, the center would be used by people of all ages, but I can see our sports teams practicing during the winter to stay in shape and consistent. I can see loads of teens learning how to belay their friends so they can have fun after school/ weekend plans spent climbing. So, for the sake of all teens, I decided to come to you with this speech, letting you know not only how much it would mean to us all, but also how much it will benefit future generations, who like us will be moody, lazy, intelligent, talented, athletic, and dramatic teenagers.

I Berheim Mission St was born and raised in the grand city of McCall, 11 of those years I have McCall spent in the McCall -Donnelly School District. I grew up walking these Idaho streets with my older sister and her friends. Even today, I walk stibnite on a 83638 daily. Over the years, I have noticed something. The lack of sidewalks. Sidewalks are a liable part of ensuring that our community can safely travel on foot. Yes, we have many sidewalks downtown, but what about the stretch from Dienhard Lane to East Colorado Street. I reached out to our community and created a poll to see what they think. Out of 249 responses, 78% of our community voted yes, there should be sidewalks. 6% voted no, and 14% voted that there should be more walking space, not the traditional cement sidewalks. Some of the community brought up the thought that there should be more pathways instead of sidewalks, and I would have to agree with them. There are definitely places that could use sidewalks, buteven if the roads were widened a little bit and there was more walking space, that would be amazing. I have walked the stretch from Natural Grocers to Napa, and it is horrible. There is barely enough space on the side of the road to safely walk. I have seen parents walking with their children securely in front of them instead of the safest spot they could be, next to them and keeping them as far away from the road as they can, but that is not possible to accomplish on that stretch. There is constant mud there and deep potholes and uneven ground in the warmer months. I have also noticed that during winter, people have to practically walk in the road in order to get to and from places. There is no space to walk off the road during the snowy months. This is just one example of the unsafe conditions that I have noticed. There are many spots like that within the city. I have heard from a few sources that you guys may have a plan already in place to widen walk ways or put in sidewalks and I hope this will encourage you to put this issue higher on the main priority list. November 30, 2023 Page 9 of 13 General Public Comments Attachment A Name Address Email Content Jesus 401 reyes- .My name is Jesus Ernesto Reyes -Gonzalez, and my address is 401 N. Reyes- N.Mission gonzalezj@mdsd.org Mission Street. I had the privilege of attending McCall -Donnelly School - Gonzalez Street District for 2 years. McCall now is my house and my home, and like every McCall person, I worry about McCall and the people that make this town unique. Idaho But McCall is facing one of the biggest problems, the rising of the price of 83638 housing. First, we need to understand that the increase in housing prices makes it ridiculously hard for workers to work in long term jobs as there are so few affordable housing options. This means that most of our businesses have problems hiring people. Families who have called this place home for decades because they grew up here and only understand life in McCall are facing the reality of being priced out of their own communities. Our seniors, who have contributed so much to our town's history, are finding it challenging to remain here in their golden age. This is a situation we cannot overlook or ignore. According to Redfin Corporation houses in McCall are 33% more expensive than the average in Idaho. The life and the soul of McCall now is in experiencing a competitive real estate market. The economic benefits for the town are less than the damage that the destruction of the town's identities. According to McCall Local housing plan, 27% of the houses are occupied by locals and the other 73% are used by people who rent or that live here only a few months. The housing prices are forcing people to move and leave behind the place they love and the opportunity of living in McCall because they cannot compete with the higher prices. If we do not do something now, we will face problems like Increased rent/unsustainable property prices for working class individuals. Increased cost of local services, higher community resentment and conflict (as well as fewer safety benefits) in areas that low-income families must relocate to. Displacement of original businesses like Paul's grocery. These are real problems that our community should not face. We need to address this before the problem becomes worse. For the following reasons, the displacing of people the people cannot work in long term jobs and the problems that the local business can face, I urge you to explore options like affordable housing initiatives to help create and sustain safe, decent, and affordable housing for low-income households. Rent control or property tax relief programs to protect our community. Thank you November 30, 2023 Page 10 of 13 General Public Comments Attachment A Name Address Email Content.

I am a Boy Scout in Troop 246 here in McCall McCall ID and am close to being an Eagle Scout. For my Eagle Scout Project, I worked 83638 with the now -retired state psychologist, Dr. Ryan Hulbert, to allow his resources to be available for free for all Valley County residents. His resources give hope to the hopeless and help youth leam about the people that can help them through their trials and problems. The state of Idaho is the 12th highest in the country for suicides, with 20.5 cases per 100,000 people per year (the population of Idaho is less than 2 million, so that is quite a bit.). Last school year, 2022 - 2023, there were 6 attempted suicides and 1 successful suicide in the high school that we know of. According to the school website, last year there were 382 students enrolled at the high school. That means that 2% of the high school students attempted suicide or committed suicide last year. This is just the high school alone. There are so many more cases for adults, too. Here are a few of my proposed solutions: The City of McCall must first strengthen economic support by improving job security and stabilizing the real estate market. The latter is mostly out of everyone's control. Next, the city must create protective environments by reducing access to lethal means —whether that be guns, drugs, or something else —to people who are potentially suicidal. Idaho is all about having guns for self-defense, but they should not be given to those at risk of suicide. Another thing that the city should do is to teach people how to recognize people at risk of suicide via classes or something along that line. Another solution to this problem could be working with organizations such as St. Luke's to discount therapy. Many people need therapy but can't afford it. But the single most important way to mitigate suicides is to teach coping and problem -solving skills. Most suicides occur because of mental health issues (such as depression) and loneliness. We must teach teens and adults how to cope with these issues and teach parents how to improve family relationships. I understand that some residents might claim that McCall is a small town, and they would know if someone close to them was thinking about ending their life; however, many people don't like talking about their problems to other people — especially men —and you likely wouldn't know about it until it is almost too late unless you know how to recognize it. If we don't do something now, the suicide rate will just keep going up, and it's only a matter of time before our loved ones are affected by this issue. I urge you all to consider my solutions.

I can't speak for St. McCall everyone when I say this but most of us have either grown-up skiing here Idaho or have moved here and fallen in love with the sport. I have been skiing for 83638 14 out of the 16 incredible years spent in this community. However, according to the USEPA, since the 1970's CO2 emissions have increased by 90% putting Idaho's snowpack and this place we love in danger. Everything created, even the food we eat, causes greenhouse gases to be released into our environment. For years composting has flown under radar. Why are we unable to realize how damaging our food is to the environment? Every year in Idaho people waste 2.2 million tons of food. All this waste then turns into 5.9 million tons of CO2 which is released into our environment, and this is just our state. To put this in perspective a conventional diesel truck, which creates 100 metric tons of CO2 per every 25,000 miles, would have to make 7.3 million trips to Boise to equal the amount produced by our food waste. So now that we have discussed the immense impacts of composting and the minimal impacts of shipping it to other locations, let's look at solutions for implementation in the community. There are two solutions to be considered, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. The first being to contract out the compost to a site in Boise that has been set up for this purpose. The benefits of this are that this could be done fairly quickly and might be more cost effective. However, the drawback is that the city would make less revenue off this project. For the second solution, the City of McCall could mimic the City of Boise's plan for composting. According to the City of Boise's website, they charge a seven -dollar monthly fee for each cart at a home, along with this the city makes more revenue from an opt out fee that -is imposed should a resident wish to stop the service. The last action they take to further the returns is resell the compost back to local businesses and residents. The drawback of this plan is that the City of McCall would have to put in a public facility, but the benefits would be that the city could maximize the revenue available with this plan when compared to the other. To preserve the place we love, composting must be in our next steps forward. Without it our snowpack and the sports we love will continue to disappear until there is nothing avaliable for the future. I would like to thank you for the time taken to listen to this and encourage you to fully consider this as an option for the protection of this place that has left its mark on all of us. Zoey dines 401 north mission st. McCall ID 83638 zrdines@gmail.com Hi, my name is Zoey Dines, and I was born and raised in McCall and by my years of observation, I think that we should go back to the idea of adding a recreation center to our town. There are so many benefits such as youth exercise, a communal center for events, and a place for classes like yoga and CrossFit. On top of that it would bring job opportunities to build the building itself. The tourists would bring more revenue to our town and help our economy. So that is why i think that bringing a rec center to our town would be a great thing.

I was born and raised here in McCall and love Street pretty much everything about it. As you already know the winters in McCall McCall last for almost half of the year and that means as a town we get a large Idaho amount of snowfall during those seasons, usually November to early April. 83638 With large amount of snow comes the need to plow for the safety of our drivers. But did you know that plowing the roads could potentially increase the risks of accident. Now is it not the actual plowing of the roads, it is where the plows are putting the snow that are increasing he chances of accidents, because the snow started to pile up around the corners of our intersections in neighborhoods, like one Wooly Street, and even in our school parking on Stibnite and Mission street. This blind spots are especially scary for new student drivers. Now I understand that when we get snow the main roads are the most important and it takes time to get all of our roads plowed, and Iam now quite sure what you as the city council can do about this problem. But one idea is after the plows are done plowing the main roads they could take time to go back and cut back the blind spots. Yes, plowing quickly and efficiently is important, but is the risks of accidents worth it? Thank you for taking this into consideration.
