Discus Pool Survey Results. Mayor Andersen said the splash park/pool survey was sent to approximately 600 residences and businesses and19% were returned. Of those returned, 59% were in favor of a splash park and 41% were against a splash park. 40 surveys who were in favor of the splash park wanted it at the new park and 28 wanted it at the square. The pool results showed 57% opposed to a pool and 43% in favor of a pool. The Mayor said not all survey questions were answered on many of the surveys returned. Of those in favor of the pool, 21 surveys returned said yes to the general obligation bond and 29 surveys returned said 1 yes to the property tax levy. The Mayor explained that a general obligation bond would only be assessed if the revenues from the pool did not meet the obligation of the payment for that year. The deficit of the payment would become the obligation of the taxpayers. The Mayor said the property tax levy would assess the tax payers each year depending on the amount of the bond. For example; a $250,000 bond would cost each tax payer approximately between $2.50 and $4.50 per month in taxes. The Mayor said he received many suggestions for names of the new park but the most popular names were Pioneer Park and Mountain Ridge Park. Mayor Andersen asked the members of the audience if they had input regarding the splash park/pool survey. Kevin Molloy said he was against encouraging new and different types of people to the area, which a splash park would do. Mr. Molloy also said he wanted the entrance to the park to be located on Iona Road instead of Quaky Aspen. Mr. Molloy said he would like to see the City offer other activities than a splash park, but would rather see the park remain quiet and not have activities available. Barbara Schreier said the economy was too bad to be thinking about spending more money. Jolyn Louk said she was against a pool in either location and was against wasting water. Ms. Louk said she looked into the revenues and expenses of the Shelley Pool and the pool always showed a deficit in money, but the citizens wanted to keep the pool. She said the City of Shelley was offered a very large donation for the pool but the City turned the money down because of the maintenance involved. Ms. Louk complimented the Mayor and Council for their good city management in such difficult times and suggested they do not do anything like build a pool that would cost the City so much money. Mayor Andersen thanked everyone for their comments and input. The Mayor said he would like to address some of the comments. He said both splash parks and pools used recirculated and chlorinated water, so there was very little water consumption; certainly less than daily use of homes that would be built on the property. Mayor Andersen said the City did offer other activities such as; t-ball, pitching machine, girls slow and fast pitch softball, a library, tennis, exercise trail, and walking path, which already attracted people from outside the community and provided amenities for the people of Iona. The Mayor said he also wanted to address a letter sent two months ago by Deb Sorenson. Mayor Andersen said Mr. Sorenson provided a budget for the City of Ammon's pool, but the budget he provided was a proposed budget and not one with actual revenues and expenditures. The Mayor said he spoke with the City of Ammon and they typically made money on their pool each year. Mayor Andersen agreed that the City of Iona residents alone could not support the cost of a pool, but people from the impact area and beyond would help support the effort. The Mayor pointed 2 out other projects that were opposed by many people, but once installed the amenities were used daily. For example; a City of Iona Police Officer, the walking path, library, and t-ball. Mayor Andersen said when the City first hired a part-time police officer many people were against the idea and thought it was a waste of money, and now the majority of the people want and expect fulltime coverage of law enforcement. Many people were against the walking path, and it is used daily by school children and people out for a walk or run. The t-ball, pitching machine, and girl's slow and fast pitch softball programs had become so popular that it could help support other recreational events. Mayor Andersen said the city could apply for grants for a splash park, but it also had enough money in savings to pay for the park. The pool would be required to go to voter approval and if approved it would take four to five years for the project to become implemented. The Mayor also said he spoke with officials from the city of Shelley and they said even though the City lost revenue on the pool, the people wanted the amenity so the council kept it open as a service for the community. Sally Louk asked if a splash park would go to vote. Mayor Andersen said it would not!but instead be the decision of the Council since the City had the money in savings. Jolyn Louk said the City should buy a new plow truck, repair the street, or get all of the street lights in working order instead of spending the money on recreation. Mayor Andersen said the City had money budgeted for equipment replacement such as a plow truck, and the City did repair different sections of the roads each year. The Mayor said the street light issue was under discussion with the Council and Rocky Mountain Power. Mrs. Molloy said she was concerned with children's safety and privacy at the new park, and would there be a fence installed. She said she was concerned with young girls in bikinis at the park. Mayor Andersen said there were pros and cons regarding privacy fencing in parks; sometimes privacy fences could create other security issues within the park such as providing opportunity for dangerous acts to take place. Mayor Andersen turned the discussion over to the Council. Council President Case thanked everyone for coming and said he wished more people would show up for the meetings. The President said a splash park would appeal to a younger crowd and thought it was a good idea, much like the water feature at the Gate Way Mall in Salt Lake City, but agreed the economic timing was not ideal for a pool. Council member Price suggested there was a good probability that the splash park could be funded by grant money instead of City money. Price also said the citizens may have a 3 misunderstanding of what was being proposed. The proposed splash park was not like what the city of Rexburg had, but rather much smaller. Therefore, he believed there would not be much of a draw because of its small size. Price said he doubted many people go to the Gate Way Mall just for the water feature. Price said he managed the Shelley pool when he was younger and people liked it because it was a community thing. Price also said a pool would provide jobs for the youth of Iona. He agreed amenities did draw outside people, such as our local library. But the splash park would be too small to hold outside user's interest and it would become a neighborhood interests instead. Council member Gubler said he did not care one way or another if there was a pool in the City; he would not be using it. Gubler said he went house to house in his neighborhood and asked the people if they wanted a pool, and they were not in favor. Gubler said he was opposed to a pool. Council member Geray said 19% return on a survey was a fairly good turnout. Geray believed the pool should be taken off the list of possibilities because the survey results indicated the community didn't want it right now. Geray said a splash park was a more feasible idea and he was in favor of looking for grant money. Geray said he agreed that fencing of the new park may be a good idea on the south and west sides that were adjacent to residences, and keep the north and east side open for visibility purposes. Geray suggested the City turn the splash park into an ice rink during the winter. Mayor Andersen said even though a pool bond would raise taxes slightly, the City could also budget for the pool expenses. The Mayor reminded the Council and audience that even if the pool was approved it would not be installed and ready to go until 2015 or 2016, and the splash park would not be ready until 2013. The Mayor said he had many people come to him in favor of a pool: it did not cost anything to vote, and the pool issue should be put on the ballot, then the Council would know for sure what the majority of the community wanted. Ken Longmore said he hardly saw anyone using the walking path or skate park. He said Iona was a bedroom community to Idaho Falls and Iona residents could go to Idaho Falls or Ammon for their recreation. Mayor Andersen thanked everyone for their time. Personnel Policy Approval. Mayor Andersen explained that the personnel policy had been updated and needed approval. Clerk Keyes said it was the policy that everyone had reviewed for the insurance premium reduction program. Council member Gubler recused himself because he had not read the policy update. Council member Geray made a motion to approve the personnel policy Council member Price seconded the motion. 4 All were in favor, motion carried. Approval of the Audit Report. Council member Geray said he was concerned whether the numbers were correct since he didn't have the time to review all the city's finances personally.. Mayor Andersen said the audit company had a good reputation and had been conducting the external audit for the City for several years. The Mayor said typically the audit report was approved during the time of the auditor's visit, but the Council had forgotten to approve it during the report. The Mayor suggested that waiting a month to approve the report would give the Council members time to review the report. Council member Gubler made a motion to approve the audit report. Council President Case seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried. Quit Claim Deed Ordinance Approval. Mayor Andersen explained that a variance public hearing had taken place last month for Jon and Gretchen McMurtrey. The Council approved vacating a section of alley and deeding the property to the McMurtrey's. Mayor Andersen entertained a motion from the Council for Ordinance 167-16-12 vacating the alley. Council member Gubler made a motion to approve Ordinance 167-16-12 vacating a certain alley within the City of Iona, Idaho; particularly describing the said alley; authorizing and directing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute and deliver on behalf of the City a quitclaim deed conveying a portion of the vacated alley to the owner of the adjacent land; providing for effective date of the ordinance. Council member Gubler also disposed of the rule of reading the ordinance in full and on three separate occasions and that the ordinance passed on all three readings. Council President Case seconded the motion. Roll call as follows: AYE: Council President Case, Council member Gubler, Council member Price, Council member Geray. NAY: None. Motion carried. Park Ordinance Approval. Council member Geray said he had some concerns with the Park Ordinance such as, sections 8-1-7 and 8-1-8 were already captured in section 5-4-10 therefore making them redundant and wondered if they were necessary. Council President Case agreed with Geray. Council member Geray questioned section 8-1-9 and the intent to define the animals allowed in the park. Geray suggested that if City Code already mandated that animals were to always be 5 under the control of the owner then what difference did it make what type of animal it was. The way the Park Ordinance was worded, someone with a pet other than a dog was not allowed in the park. Chief Basaraba said the City wanted to put all of the rules on one sign for the park and by including redundant items in this ordinance then one ordinance could be referenced on the sign. The Council agreed to table the approval for further review of the ordinance. Cable Franchise Discussion. Clerk Keyes said Attorney Storer wanted to make sure the Council was satisfied with the Cable Franchise Ordinance as written before it was sent to the cable company for signature. The Council said they were and to send the ordinance to the cable company. Chief Basaraba Orlando Approval. Mayor Andersen explained to the audience that Chief Basaraba had been selected by the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) to attend a conference in Orlando Florida. ITD would be paying all of the expenses. The Mayor said he wanted the Council's approval for the Chief to be absent from patrol to attend the five day conference. Council member Gubler made a motion to approve the ITD training for Chief Basaraba. Council member Price seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried. Emergency Operation Plan/Water Discussion. During the work meeting, the Council discussed purchasing four water filtration systems for emergency purposes. Chief Basaraba asked for approval to purchase the filters. The Council approved the purchase of seven water filters at the approximate cost of $65 plus shipping for each filter. Chief Basaraba said he needed to schedule EOP training with Whisper Mountain and asked the Council to make a decision on the training they wanted. The Council agreed to the Incident Command Station training at the cost of $1,000. Reports Chief Basaraba reported that the Citizen Patrol Program for Idaho Falls was a good program and suggested piggy backing with them for training. The Chief said the start-up cost of the program would be about $8,700 and the annual cost would be about $4,700. Mayor Andersen said he worried about spending time and money on training and possibly having a difficult time retaining people. Council member Gubler asked how many people needed to be trained. Chief Basaraba said he had not looked into the numbers yet. Sally Louk asked how long the training was. 6 Chief Basaraba said the training was 2.5 hours per week for 10 weeks; then ride -a -longs must be conducted. Mayor Andersen asked Clerk Keyes to call the risk management company and see about liability issues with the Citizen's Watch. Council President Case asked how many people to plan for the Iona Days Friday night dinner. The Council agreed to plan for about 200 adults and 25 children. Clerk Keyes said many cities were adopting the Green River Ordinance which was an ordinance requiring door to door vendors to have a back ground check performed by the Police Chief before being issued a vendor permit. The Council thought it was a good idea and asked Clerk Keyes to get more information. Council member Gubler said the fire station was almost ready to be occupied. The Fire District wanted to take full ownership of the Iona fire truck before spending money on its restoration. Gubler said he wanted to look into purchasing a lift for trimming trees. Director Prouse said he already had and they ran about $34,000. Mayor Andersen asked how much it cost to rent a lift. Prouse said about $200 for the day, but he did not need it very often. Mayor Andersen said a newer snow plow was more important right now than a lift. Treasurer report. Mayor Andersen introduced Amy Sullivan as the replacement treasurer for Ron Nelson when he retired. Sullivan reported Merrill Lynch was no longer investing public funds so the City was moving its money from Merrill Lynch to Zion's Bank. Sullivan said Zion's had the best interest rate available. Council member Gubler said the fire district was investing in a TIPS fund. He said he would get her the information about the fund. Council member Geray asked for suggestions for the Iona Days entertainment. The Council offered some suggestions. Council member Price asked what his assignments were for the City. The Mayor gave Price an outline for liaison and special event assignments. Mayor Andersen suggested the Council consider the name Pioneer Park for the new park. Council President Case made a motion to adjourn. Council member Geray seconded the motion.

PURPOSE The purpose of this Harassment Policy is to clearly establish the City's commitment to work to provide a work environment free from unlawful harassment, to define discriminatory harassment, and to set forth the procedures for investigating and resolving internal complaints of harassment. Because of the importance of a workplace free from unlawful harassment, this policy should be reviewed with each employee on a regular basis. It is important that all employees treat all other employees and members of the public with decency and respect. It is the responsibility of each and every employee, supervisor and Department Head to prevent inappropriate behavior in the workplace. Inappropriate behavior which impacts the workplace, or has the potential to impact the workplace, will not be tolerated. This Policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including but not limited to, hiring, placement, job retention, promotion, disciplinary action, layoff, reinstatement, transfer, leave of absence, compensation and training. B. POLICY Harassment of an applicant for employment, a member of the public, or an employee by any employee of the City on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age (40 and over) and disability is in violation of State and/or Federal law and will not be tolerated by the City. Employees found to be participating in any form of employment -related unlawful harassment or retaliating against another employee for filing a complaint or cooperating with an investigation shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. C. RESPONSIBILITIES The Citv: It is the responsibility of the City to develop this policy, provide training on this policy, keep it up to date, and to ensure that any violation of this policy brought to its attention is dealt with as required by law and according to this Policy. The City should designate an official who will be responsible for following the Complaint Procedures as set out in this policy. This official will be referred to as the "Designated Official." Supervisors: It is the responsibility of supervisors to enforce the policy, to train new employees on the policy, to make a regular review with all employees to ensure they know the policy and to regularly check the workplace to make sure the policy is being followed. If a supervisor observes that unlawful discrimination, harassment or retaliation is occurring, he/she should take immediate action to address the problem. Such action should include, but is not limited to, speaking directly with the affected person, developing a specific account of the actions, omissions or occurrences that are deemed discriminatory, consulting with the supervisor, or a Department Head and taking corrective or disciplinary action as appropriate. If the alleged discrimination, harassment or retaliation is not within the supervisor's area of responsibility or oversight, he/she should notify the Department Head or other appropriate management employee, who should then take prompt steps to address the allegation. If unlawful harassment is reported or alleged, it must be followed up. No complaining party should be allowed to retract an allegation of unlawful harassment without proving that it was made erroneously. If a supervisor receives information that discrimination, unlawful harassment or retaliation might be occurring, he/she should follow the Complaint Procedure as set out in this policy below. Employees: It is the responsibility of each and every employee to know this policy and to follow it. All City employees share the responsibility of understanding and preventing unlawful discrimination and harassment. But, ultimately, no satisfactory investigation or resolution of complaints can occur without the initiative and continued cooperation of the affected person. Individuals who believe they have been discriminated against or unlawfully harassed have the primary obligation of informing their supervisor, Department Head, Mayor, Human Resource Officer or legal counsel for the City of the act of discrimination, unlawful harassment or retaliation, recounting specific actions or occurrences whenever possible. It is imperative that every employee treat every other employee and members of the public with decency and respect so as to facilitate a sound professional work environment. D. DEFINITIONS For purposes of clarification, unlawful harassment includes but is not limited to the following behaviors: 1. Verbal Harassment — Epithets, derogatory comments, slurs, propositioning, or otherwise offensive words or comments on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age (40 and over) and disability whether made in general, directed to an individual or directed to a group of people regardless of whether the behavior was intended to harass. This includes, but is not limited to, inappropriate sexually -oriented comments, including dress or physical features, sexual rumors, code words, and race -oriented stories, as well as jokes of a sexual or discriminatory nature or "kidding" which is oriented towards a prohibited form of harassment. 2. Physical Harassment — Assault, impeding or blocking movement, leering, or the physical interference with normal work, privacy or movement when directed at an individual on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age (40 and over) and disability. This includes pinching, patting, grabbing, inappropriate behavior in or near bathrooms, sleeping facilities and eating areas, or making explicit or implied threats or promises in return for submission to physical acts. 3. Visual Forms of Harassment — Derogatory, prejudicial, stereotypical or otherwise offensive posters, photographs, cartoons, e-mails, notes, bulletins, drawings or pictures on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age (40 and over) and disability. This applies to both posted material and material maintained in or on City equipment or personal property in the workplace. 4. Sexual Harassment — Any act which is sexual in nature and is made explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of employment, is used as the basis of an employment decision, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. There are basically two types of sexual harassment: a. "Quid pro quo" harassment, where submission to unlawful harassment is used as the basis for employment decisions. Employee benefits such as raises, promotions, better working hours, job retention, etc., are directly linked to compliance with sexual advances. Therefore, only someone in a supervisory capacity (with the authority to grant such benefits) can engage in quid pro quo harassment. Example: A supervisor promising an employee a raise if she goes on a date with him; a manager telling an employee she will fire him if he does not have sex with her. b. "Hostile work environment," where the unlawful harassment creates an offensive and unpleasant working environment. Hostile work environment can be created by anyone in the work environment, whether it be supervisors, other employees, or the public. Hostile environment harassment consists of verbiage of a sexual nature, unwelcome sexual materials, or even unwelcome physical contact as a regular part of the work environment. Cartoons or posters of a sexual nature, vulgar or lewd comments or jokes, or unwanted touching or fondling all fall into this category. E. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE The following complaint procedure will be followed in order to address a complaint regarding harassment, discrimination, or retaliation: 1. A person who believes he/she has been unlawfully harassed, discriminated or retaliated against should report it to their supervisor, Department Head, Mayor, Human Resource Officer, or legal counsel for the City. If a supervisor becomes aware that unlawful harassment or discrimination is occurring in any city department as a result of an employee coming forward, the supervisor should immediately report it to a designated official pursuant to this policy. Once a complaint of unlawful harassment, discrimination or retaliation has been made, the complaint cannot be withdrawn by the complainant without a determination that is was made erroneously. 2. Promptly upon receiving the complaint, the Designated Official should initiate the investigation to determine whether there is a reasonable basis for believing that an alleged violation of this Policy occurred. 3. Upon receiving the complaint, or being advised by a supervisor that violation of this policy may be occurring, the Designated Official should review the complaint with the City Attorney, the Human Resource Officer or Mayor. 4. The Designated Official, in conjunction with legal counsel for the City, should engage an appropriate person to investigate the complaint. The investigator should be a neutral party. 5. The investigator will interview the complainant, the respondent, and any relevant witnesses to determine whether the conduct occurred. 6. As soon as practical, the investigator will conclude the investigation and submit a report of his or her findings to the Designated Official, who then will route it as appropriate. 7. If it is determined that unlawful harassment or discrimination in violation of the City's policy has occurred, the appropriate official will recommend the appropriate course of action to be taken by the City. The appropriate action will depend on the following factors: a. The severity, frequency and pervasiveness of the conduct; b. Prior complaints made by the complainant; c. Prior complaints made against the respondent; and d. The quality of the evidence (first hand knowledge, credible corroboration, etc.). 8. If the investigation is inconclusive or it is determined that there has been no unlawful harassment or discrimination in violation of this Policy, but some potentially problematic conduct is revealed, corrective action may be taken. 9. Promptly after the investigation is concluded, the supervisor(s) will meet with the complainant and the respondent separately in order to notify them in person of the findings of the investigation. 10. The complainant and the respondent may submit statements to the supervisor(s) challenging the factual basis of the findings. Any such statement must be submitted no later than five (5) working days after the meeting with the supervisor(s) in which the findings of the investigation is discussed. 11. Promptly after the supervisor(s) has met with both parties and reviewed the documentation, he or she will decide, after consultation with legal counsel, what action, if any, should be taken. F. DISCIPLINARY ACTION If unlawful harassment is determined to have occurred, the supervisor should take prompt and effective remedial action against the harasser. The action should be commensurate with the severity of the offense, up to and including termination of employment. G. RETALIATION Retaliation in any manner against a person for filing an harassment charge or initiating an harassment complaint, testifying in an investigation, providing information or assisting in an investigation, is expressly prohibited and subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. The supervisor, Department Head and Mayor should take reasonable steps to protect the victim and other potential victims from further harassment or related consequences. H. CONFIDENTIALITY Confidentiality will be maintained to the fullest extent possible in accordance with applicable Federal, State and local law. However, a complete and thorough investigation of the allegations will require the investigator to inform witnesses of certain aspects of the complaint in order to obtain an accurate account of the actions of the parties involved. I. FALSE COMPLAINTS Any complaint made by an employee of the City regarding employment -based harassment which is conclusively proven to be false, should result in discipline. This discipline may include termination of employment. This section is not intended to discourage employees from making complaints regarding employment -based harassment. However, false complaints adversely impact the workplace and the career of the accused, even when disproved, and will not be tolerated. J. DISTRIBUTION Access to this policy shall be provided to all employees, supervisors and Elected Officials of the City either by paper or electronic copy. Any questions, concerns or comments related to this policy should be directed to the Department Head, Human Resource Officer, Mayor, or City Attorney. The position of the Mayor is appointed as the Designated Official for the purposes of this Policy. r% APPENDIX "A" ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT OF THE CITY OF IONA HARASSMENT POLICY acknowledge receipt of the Personnel Policy, adopted on I understand that it is my responsibility to read and review this Policy.
