Consent Agenda: Work & Council Minutes of August 19, 2014 and Special City Council
Meeting Minutes of August 26, 2014 had been reviewed. Council Member McNamara asked
that the City of Idaho Falls picks and chooses which alleys should be one-way according to the
usage of that alley be added to page four of the minutes under Mr. McNamara's comments.
Council reviewed the finance reports for the period ending August 31, 2014 (92% of the fiscal
year elapsed). Verification was made on baseball movie tickets through the recreation
expenditures. The public drinking water fee assessment was based on size and population of the
City. Building inspections were at $42,000 revenue with expenditures subtracted out and police
and dispatch were over with the addition of animal control. Out of pocket on the splash pad
parking lot was $47,000 and the Denning Ave Extension was the only big project left in this
budget.
Mayor Andersen entertained a motion. Council Member Gubler moved to approve the Consent
Agenda with the changes presented. Council Member Geray seconded the motion. All were in
favor, motion carried.
Honor Police Chief Shannon Basaraba: Everyone expressed their appreciation and good
working relationship they had with Chief Basaraba. He will be missed but it was understood that
he needed to take care of his family. Chief Basaraba appreciated everything the City had done
for him but had a great offer with new challenges.
Mayor Andersen entertained a motion. Council Member Geray moved to recess to visit with
Chief Basaraba. Council Member McNamara seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion
carried.
Recess 7:19 p.m. — 7:24 p.m.
Bee Ordinance Discussion: Council discussed the proposed ordinance last month and
suggested repealing Title 5, Chapter 3, Section 10, Keeping of Beehives instead of adopting
another ordinance. An ordinance repealing 5-3-10 will be added to next month's agenda.

Business License Approval — Holly Faulkner DBA: Good Foundations Pre-school: Council
reviewed the license. Council Member Geray moved to approve the business license for Good
Foundations Pre-school. Council Member McNamara seconded the motion. All were in favor,
motion carried.
City Attorney Contract Approval: The contract had changed from a retainer basis ($1,000 a
month) to $200 per hour for services rendered. Council agreed it might be a better way to go and
it would be a courtesy if Attorney Storer would let us know if we were going over five hours a
month.
Mayor Andersen entertained a motion. Council Member Geray moved to approve City Attorney
Dale W. Storer's contract. Council Member Gubler seconded the motion. The City Attorney
Contract was approved by roll call vote:
Council Member Geray — Yes
Council Member Gubler — Yes
Council Member McNamara — Yes
City Engineer Contract Approval: A Time and Materials Contract for miscellaneous services
was provided by City Engineer, Schiess & Associates not to exceed $2,000.
Mayor Andersen entertained a motion. Council Member Gubler moved to approve the City
Engineer, Schiess & Associates contract. Council Member McNamara seconded the motion.
The City Engineer Contract was approved by roll call vote:
Council Member Geray — Yes
Council Member Gubler — Yes
Council Member McNamara — Yes
Election of City Council Members Ordinance & Election of City Mayor Ordinance
Discussion: Council reviewed the ordinances updating the sections of Iona City Code relating to
elections for the office of Council and Mayor to conform to the changes made to the election
laws in 2011.
Council Member Geray will clarify the optional fee of $50 per candidate if they choose not to get
five qualified electors to sign their Petition of Candidacy. A public hearing is tentatively
scheduled for October.
Land Acquisition — Smith-Huer Property: Council met with the Smiths during the work
meeting regarding the acquisition of land. Both parties have agreed to the sale if access to the
one acre of property is available on the road currently on the north side of the property.
The Smiths will find out if they own half of the existing access road, if not another option will
need to be addressed. A possibility would be a 20' City easement along the property giving
access to the landlocked acre.
2
A letter "Exhibit A" from City Engineer, Schiess & Associates, suggests the property is a good
site for a new well and/or tank and will be able to match the capacity of Well #1. This would be
considered a diversion point and the process of obtaining and funding water rights should be
started now since the process could take up to ten years to complete.
Open Meeting Law Discussion: Council discussed open meeting laws and their regularly
scheduled training. It was decided to hold training on January 14, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. to include
Iona's Planning & Zoning Commission on their regularly scheduled meeting night. Jim McNall
of the Association of Idaho Cities (AIC) would be contacted to do the training.
Non -Resident Park Use Fees: Council Member Geray suggested raising park use fees for
residents outside of Iona. He would prepare proposed numbers for next month's meeting.
Planning & Zoning Member Residence Location: Council discussed whether Planning &
Zoning (P&Z) Members should be able to live in Bonneville County or if it should be limited to
Iona's Impact Area within Bonneville County.
Council Member Gubler, Council Member McNamara, and visitors felt that residents are better
served by people living in Iona or Iona's Impact Area.
Council Member Geray didn't see a problem with the way code was written, encompassing
Bonneville County, because Council had to approve the P&Z Member. Additionally a P&Z
Member could be removed for cause by a majority vote of the City Council.
Council decided to leave Planning & Zoning Member Residence Location as written in code at
this time.
Police & Animal Control Discussion: Lieutenant Kevin Casper of Bonneville County
presented a proposal during the work meeting for dedicated officers in Iona for $92,127.
Council felt that having an Iona Officer upheld safety and presence in the community. Visitors
felt that codes had been updated and enforced by having our own officer. If the City was unable
to find a good candidate, Bonneville County's proposal would be another option.
Classified ads for the position of Iona Chief of Police were run in the Post Register and the
Association of Idaho Cities (AIC) website. Another ad will be posted on Craigslist to run
through September 26, 2014.
Signing of One -Way Alleys Discussion: Director Prouse did further research on the singing of
one-way alleys. He was unable to find any State Code that required signing of alleys one-way.
After reviewing with Attorney Storer, it was his recommendation to lower the speed limit to 15
miles per hour (mph) on alley ways. Council agreed.
Council Member Geray moved to establish 15 mph speed limits on alleys. Council Member
Gubler seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried.
3
Solid Waste Franchise Discussion: Last month Council suggested limiting the hauling of solid
waste to Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Attorney Storer thought this would increase street
congestion from garbage trucks, rather than decreasing it. Attorney Storer should have a
discussion draft Regulatory Ordinance next month.
Taxing Disparity Discussion: Council discussed the taxing disparity issue between counties
and cities. Council Member Geray would draft a letter to legislators and Council would discuss
next month. Mayor Andersen suggested carbon copying other cities and AIC so they could do
the same. He would also bring it up at the County/Cities Meeting at the end of the month.
Zoning Discussion — RA Zone to Align with County Zone: Council Member Geray suggested
Planning & Zoning take a look at the R-A Zone in comparison to the R-1 Zone. He also
recommended they evaluate Iona's R-A to R-1 in reference to Bonneville County's RA-1, RA-2,
RA-3, R-1, and R1.5.
Reports
Public Works Department: Director Prouse reported that the splash pad had only used 1,240
gallons of water since September 5, 2014; in comparison it would take one well one minute to
pump 1,240 gallons.
The Denning Ave Extension Project waterline portion was complete. The property owner
contacted the City for installation of four services at his expense (including material and labor);
we allowed. The roadway construction will begin tomorrow.
Pioneer Park should be fully completed by the first week of October.
Building Department: Inspector Eldridge reported that building is slow right now. He did get
bids for a fire alarm system in the building because of the pre-school. The bids ran around
$20,000 due to the asbestos in the building. He will be getting prices for a couple of remote fire
alarms and battery operated back-up lights.
After reporting, Director Prouse and Inspector Eldridge excused themselves from the meeting.
Council: Council Member McNamara asked if Title 11, Section, 11, Chapter 18, Firearms
Usage had added the discharge of any projectile into the City limits. Clerk Hammond would
reference the old code to find out.
Mayor: Mayor Andersen and Chairman Garren planned on attending the Bonneville County
P&Z Public Hearing on September 24, 2014 regarding the Liberty Estates Division #1,
Preliminary Plat that lies west of 45th East and within the City Impact Area.
Chief Basaraba had requested to purchase his pistol. Council agreed to give the gun to him as a
going away gift.
4
Public: Jolyn Louk asked what had happened with the Verizon Cell Tower; were they going
with Jerry Hansen's property? Council did not know and suggested checking with Mr. Hansen.
Attorney Storer was working on a Cell Tower Ordinance.
Executive Session: Council Member Geray moved to retire into executive session to consider
personnel matters as provided in § 67-2345(1) (a) & (b). Council Member Gubler seconded the
motion. The motion was passed by a roll call vote:
Council Member Geray — Yes
Council Member Gubler — Yes
Council Member McNamara - Yes
Thereafter followed a discussion regarding a letter submitted by a citizen to Council. A motion
was then made, seconded and approved to retire back into open session.
After approval of the motion to adjourn, the meeting then concluded at 9:30 p.m.

Dear Mayor Andersen:
This letter consists of our suggested plan of action to pursue water rights in connection with
system improvements.
Assumptions used in the preparation of this letter include the desire to obtain three additional
cubic feet per second of water with volume equal to the flow rate multiplied out over at least the
irrigation season and the desire to develop a fourth water source in the city on the Iona hill at the
extension of Telford Road up the hill on the Heuer -Smith Family Partnership property. To
prepare this letter I read the Rocky Mountain Environmental report titled City of Iona Water
Right Options Evaluation and applicable parts of the Keller water planning study amendment.
The city's immediate need is not so much new water rights as it is drilling a new water supply
well to match the capacity of Well 1 and meet DEQ source water redundancy requirements. The
Heuer -Smith property is a good well and future tank location. Although it will require a
significant investment in transmission piping to connect the well to the city distribution system,
it would open up the entire area between the well location and the existing city for expansion.
With two storage tanks in the system normal operations will not be effected very much when the
existing tank is emptied for repairs or replaced. In my opinion this is good master planning.
No new water rights are required to drill the new well. The city would be limited to pumping the
existing wells at the same time while the new well is in stand-by or Well 1 could be in stand-by
while the new well and Well 2 and Well 3 pump together. A water right transfer of existing
rights naming the proposed well location as a diversion point for the existing rights is required
and must proceed the obtaining of a drilling permit. The initial preparation of this transfer
document should be relatively easy. Modeling using the East Snake Plain Aquifer (ESPA) model
may be required to satisfy IDWR reviewers of the transfer application. Protests, if any, should be
overcome without extraordinary expense.
We have inquired as to whether the city would have legitimate access to the new well site
through a county right-of-way, prescriptive or otherwise. The county cannot give a definite
answer. Therefore, we suggest the City only buy the property for the well if it comes with an
easement across the top of Heuer -Smith property to the well site. This easement must allow for
vehicular access, water transmission piping, and electrical conductors for well and tank
operations. A 20-30 foot easement would be sufficient.
The need for additional water rights or the ability to pump groundwater at more gallons per
minute than what the city can do now with all of the wells running is important, but not as
Exhibit "A"

important as the work outlined above. Due to the difficulty and length of time required to obtain
new water rights, the city should begin the quest in earnest. It may take more than 10 years to
get a new water right application all the way from hearing resolution, permitting, mitigation, development,
field measurement and finally to licensing. The options for obtaining a new water right remain
as Rocky Mountain Environmental described in their report. The city could try to submit to
IDWR another water right application. If it is protested, then the city should withdraw the
application. The current protested water right, with an earlier priority date, should then be taken
to hearing to determine how to satisfy the protesters claims.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Paul H. Scoresby, PE

Subject: One way road discussion
Mayor and city council members,
During our last city council meeting I presented information regarding one way streets, alley ways, liabilities, and state
code. After further research of this subject I have found that the information obtained from Bonneville County Road &
Bridge regarding state code is not accurate. I was informed that a roadway with a width of twenty feet or less should be
considered a one way road and should be signed as such. I reviewed all state code pertaining to traffic control and one
way streets and could not find any evidence to support the county's statement. I contacted Dale Storer to verify my
findings and he did not know of a state code that supported the county's statement.
At this time the City of Iona is not in violation of any state codes regarding one way streets as I had stated in the city
council meeting.
However I feel there is a need for consistency of traffic control for the alley ways of Iona whether it is direction of traffic
or reduction of speed limits. I will continue to research this topic with Dale Storer, the BMPO, City of Idaho Falls, and the
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices to better determine any future course of action. Furthermore I would like to
apologize for not having the time to research the information I obtained from the county before I presented it to the
council and the citizens of Iona. I assure you that in the future I will take every measure possible to avoid presenting
false information to the mayor,council, and citizens of Iona.
Thank You,
Zech Prouse

To: Iona City Council and Mayor
This letter is to inform you of an incident with one of your employees,
"Alan, The Building Inspector."
On Wednesday, August 27, at approximately 8:30 a.m., I answered my
door to see a tall man standing on my stairs and another young man walking
from my back yard to a pick-up that was parked out front. The tall man
introduced himself as, "Alan, The Building Inspector." He said he was here
to inform me that the shed I had recently purchased could possibly be in
violation of "some law." The reason he stated was, "because of its location
to the propane tank."
He then went on to say that "if someone threw a cigarette butt into my
trees and they caught on fire, then the shed could catch on fire and that
could cause the propane tank to explode setting my house on fire which
could set the house next to me on fire and so on and so on just like in the big
cities!" If the purpose of that scenario was to intimidate me, it failed
because it was so juvenile.
Alan said he would get back with me because he had someone else
checking the laws. As of the date of this letter, I have not heard from him.
This incident raised several concerns with me:
--What were these men doing in my yard without my permission?
--Because I didn't know either of them, where was their identification that
stated they were Iona City employees?
--Why is Alan out trying to enforce laws that he isn't knowledgeable about
himself?
--Why did he try to use intimidation instead of professionalism to talk with
me?
--Where is his courtesy in letting me know what he found out?
Iona has been under scrutiny lately for their treatment of others. It
seems this is just another example. It is important to me that we keep our
city friendly with our small town identity.
I appreciate your time and attention to this situation and will gladly
be waiting for a reply from you.
Thank you.
