Dana Izatt went over his audit report and explained the break down of the report. Mr. Izatt said the City was doing a good job of balancing its revenue and expenditures. The City did show a deficit only because the City used money from reserves to purchase a new backhoe. Mr. Izatt reminded the City that government cut backs would affect the City. Mayor Andersen said the City budgeted conservatively and typically expected 10% less from the government than originally projected. Mr. Izatt said that was a good idea. Mr. Izatt thanked the City for its business and said he would send a copy of the report to the state once the Council approved the report. Mayor Andersen entertained a motion from the Council. Council member Gubler made a motion to accept the audit report. Council President Shaw seconded the motion.

A full audit report will be on file in the City office. Consent Agenda. The consent agenda was reviewed. Mayor Andersen said the City was through 'A of the fiscal year, so the amounts expended in the budget should be near 25%. Mayor Andersen asked what the expense was for the backhoe. Supervisor Prouse said an attachment was purchased. 1 (IN Mayor Andersen asked what the expense was for the police car. Chief Basaraba said his vehicle was getting hot, so he had the thermostat replaced and all of the fluids flushed. Mayor Andersen asked what the expense was for Radio Shack. Clerk Keyes said it was for a decibel meter for the building. Mayor Andersen entertained a motion from the Council. Council member McArthur made a motion to accept the consent agenda. Council member Case seconded the motion. Mayor Andersen asked if there was any further discussion, there was not. All were in favor. Motion passed, consent agenda approved. State of the City Address. Mayor Andersen gave his State of the City Address. See attached Appendix A. Previous Action Items. The Mayor said Attorney Storer said the Historical Society could be set up as a non profit organization even if it were under the direction of the City. The Mayor read excerpts from past minutes where former and present Council members had agreed to take over the museum after the Historical Society got it running .The Mayor reminded the Council that they could not create a financial obligation for future Councils. The Attorney advised caution regarding issues that would increase taxes or did not benefit the community as a whole. The Mayor said the Council supported the Historical Society and could help with projects; however, the projects must be specific. The Mayor recommended that Council member Case inform the Historical Society that the Council could not take the museum over, but would be happy to help with specific projects as the budget allowed. Council member Case said the Historical Society had changed direction with improvements to the building and was now focusing on removing the front porch addition in order to restore the front of the building to its original state. Council member Case said Bonneville County would be featuring different locations throughout the year as part of their celebration. Iona would be featured on August 9th Council member Case also said the Historical Society was originally set up to not be under the jurisdiction of the City government. Council member Gubler said the Code Book stated the Historical Society was under the governance of the City and perhaps the City should change the Code Book. 2 The Mayor agreed the Historical Society was never under the jurisdiction of the City in regards to the museum project. They were free to make their own decisions, and the City would help them out when possible; however, if the project is ever City approved; they would be under the direction of the City. Council member Case said, as part of the County celebration, the Historical Society wanted to know if the City would allow them to set up information and activities during the Iona Days celebration. They had four buildings they would like to feature and offer a walking tour of the buildings. The Mayor said the Historical Society was absolutely welcome to set up information and activities during the event. Council member Case thought Friday night during the supper and before the movie might be a good time. The Council agreed. Council member Gubler suggested the City send a copy of the inspection report to the Historical Society. Denning Avenue Extension Update. Mayor Andersen said it appeared as though Mr. Bigelow was ready to build homes in his development. Supervisor Prouse said he was ready, but part of the amendment agreement was he could not begin building until the upgrades were complete. Mr. Bigelow has until September 1, 2011, to complete the upgrades. Supervisor Prouse said the estimate for installing the water, sewer, and road to make Denning Avenue a through road was $55,000. Council member Gubler said he would like to move forward with extending Denning Avenue, but he was concerned with the Safe Routes to School project's cost and how much time it might take to get reimbursed for that. Council member Case agreed and asked if the City could afford to pay for both projects at the same time. Mayor Andersen asked Supervisor Prouse for his opinion. The Supervisor said he did not think the City should have to pay for development infrastructure; that should be the developer's job. The development had been like it was for the last 20 years, and the city was installing walking paths and cross walks for pedestrians. Supervisor Prouse also reminded the Council that because of the amount of cost the project would have to go to bid. Council member Case asked if the City would recoup its expenses if it paid for the project. 3 Mayor Andersen asked the Council to think about the issue, and they could discuss it again. Building Code Update. Clerk Keyes said the input from the building inspector regarding the building code updates was written on the proposed code, and the inspector did not like the fee schedule; he thought it should go by square footage and not by value. Council President Shaw said there were numerous issues with the update, she agreed with the recommended 200 square feet for a basis to begin issuing permits, and that the City should change its code from 144 square feet to 200 square feet. President Shaw did not like the fess schedule either; she agreed it should be based on square footage and not value. Resident Shaw also thought $65 was too costly for re -inspections. Mayor Andersen suggested the issue could be tabled until President Shaw could work with the City attorney regarding suggested changes. Approval of Appointed Officials.

President Shaw said she would be happy to be president again, but if someone else wanted to be the president; that was fine too. Council member Gubler made a motion to approve Jane Shaw as Council President. Council member McArthur seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried. Record Retention Schedule Resolution.

Council member McArthur made a motion to approve the Record Retention Schedule Resolution. Council President Shaw seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried. Reports. Chief Basaraba said he and the Mayor met with Sheriff Wilde regarding the letter the City sent about the speeding incident. The Chief said the meeting went well, and the Sheriff assured them the incident was handled appropriately. The Sheriff also suggested scheduling regular meetings to update each other on issues and news. The creator of the Emergency Operations Plan wanted to meet with relevant City representatives to go over the mitigation plan. Clerk Keyes said the individual who was sent the letter regarding building inspection had until 1-20-11 to make the appropriate changes. Council President Shaw, no further report.

On September I lth, in celebration with the State of Idaho for a day a service, citizens of Iona did many acts of 50111QC including the iv -building of the booth shelter with the addition of a storage shed in the Iona Square. Thanks to Councilmember MacArthur and our Public Works Supervisor Zech Prouse for taking on this big project. 14. Created a City Motto: "Iona, small town with a big heart." 15. Help support community programs such as the library, Bonneville Art Association, Iona Historical Society, and the Lion's Club. Vision: My vision for the City of Iona for this year and the future is as follows: 1. Manage the growth of the City and continue strict development requirements. 2. Continue to upgrade our water system and ensure it is adequate for our community now and in the future. 3. Keep Iona as a family community and manage commercial growth. 4. Eventually establish an outdoor swimming pool and/or water park. 5. Continually improve our parks each year. 6. Maintaining an open door policy - monthly news letter, home page, listen to the citizens of Iona (Town Meetings) - and do what is best for Iona and the community. 7. Public safety and protection for our community with our own police. In summary: In spite of the economic downfall, I am proud to report that Iona is thriving. The City is financially strong with approximately $650,000 in savings. The fiscal 2010 budget was $818,000 and we spent $761,000. We had 19 homes built in fiscal year 2010 (12 calendar year) which brought in over $50,000 dollars in revenue for the City and offers economic support for the community. We currently provide services to 612 homes and businesses. The Community Center was rented 62 times during the year; besides the on- going dance rental. The Iona Square was used for 45 ball games and the shelters were rented 49 times. We have a great team (council and employees) working together that has helped us be fiscally responsible to our citizens. However, with more growth, drought, and less water we do need to change our old habits and start to conserve our most important natural resource, which is our water. I would like to thank all of those wonderful people of Iona who volunteered their time and efforts toward some type of service project in 2010 for the City. In 2011 please get involved and do some kind of service. Whether it is being a good neighbor, volunteering to be on a committee, or doing some kind of service for the City, please volunteer. "For service is the rent we pay for living here." Sincerely, Brad D.
