PRESENT: Mayor Brad Andersen, Council President Jane Shaw, Council member Dennis McArthur, Council member Dan Gubler, Council member Bruce Case, Treasurer Ron Nelson, City Clerk Robyn Keyes, Public Works Supervisor Zech Prouse, Police Chief Shannon Basaraba. VISITORS: Kathryn Browning, Tony Browning, Kathryn's Grandson Todd, Irene Peterson, Kathy Sorenson, Eva Dean Long, Kendall Andrus, Linda Andrus, Kathy McNamara, Sally Price, Linda Hobbs Mayor Andersen welcomed everyone and Clerk Keyes led with the Pledge of Allegiance. Consent Agenda. The consent agenda was reviewed. Council member Gubler made a motion to accept the consent agenda. Council President Shaw seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion carried. Citizen Award: Kathryn Browning. Mayor Andersen said Mrs. Browning had been a valuable asset to the community and read the following letter written by Lin Longhurst: Kathryn has had many aliases in her life; she was Jack to her family while she was growing up. She was Kate to her school friends, Kathryn to her associates, Dear to her husband, Mom to her two children, Grandma to her five grandchildren, Grandma Brown to her seven great grandchildren, Sister Browning to her church ward members. And last of all, in January an artist friend called and wanted to help her enter the Idaho Falls Art Council's annual membership art show. Her friend said that she wanted Kathryn represented; after all, she is The Kathryn Browning. The love of horses, art, and dance has been a strong force in her life. Sharing it with others was important. When she and her family moved to Iona 54 years ago, they built a home on the site of an old barn. Throughout the block and in the town in general there were a lot of weeds and cockleburs, no sidewalks, only paths and gravel roads. She began spraying and eradicating the weeds around her block, mowing the lawn clear out to the road when no one else did, and before long the example began to spread. As her daughter, she taught me by example to step in and do what deserved to be done, and consequently, her influence spread. When the Bonneville Art Association, which she founded, was in need of a place to paint after the failure of meeting in private homes, the grade school, and the high school, it was necessary to plan for a permanent place to paint together so talents could grow. A suggestion was made by a person not of the art group to use the old stone church 1 on a corner in Iona, and the idea grew and became exciting. She and Lois Steele spear- headed the ideas and efforts of many people to take an eye -sore building in Iona and turn it into an interesting building with character. Today, even though her eye sight is not too good, she continues to apply herself because it is a challenge. The following is a tribute written by one of Kathryn's co-workers; Kathryn and I have been friends for over 33 years, but it is not the friendship that causes me to see her as accomplished and as a contributor to this community- what it is are the many things of worth I have witnessed of her creative and diligent efforts. We met when we were both working in the graphic arts department for the government at the Site. Her work then, as dry and uncreative as it was, showed her commitment to professional principle and integrity. Over the years I have seen these qualities surface over and over - not only in her professional life, but also in her personal and creative worlds. The beauty she creates on her canvas and paper are gifts I treasure. And the beauty that radiates from her, and shines in the lovely faces of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are also parts of her creative worth she allows me to share and to treasure. She, Kathryn, is a one of a kind lady and community treasure....a rather unique work of art! Mayor Andersen thanked Mrs. Browning for all she had done for the community and presented her with a plaque. Mrs. Browning thanked everyone and talked about how much she enjoyed living in Iona. Public Hearing. A public hearing was held to consider amending the R-T zone to allow single family dwellings. After holding the hearing the Council agreed to allow single family dwellings provided they meet the R-1 zoning requirements. See appendix A for hearing minutes. President Shaw made a motion to adjourn. Council member Case seconded the motion. A11 were in favor. Adjourned 7:50 p.m. 2 APPENDIX A PUBLIC HEARING FEBRUARY 15, 2011 7:15 P.M. AMENDING R-T ZONE TO ALLOW SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS PRESENT: Mayor Brad Andersen, Council President Jane Shaw, Council member Dennis McArthur, Council member Dan Gubler, Council member Bruce Case, Treasurer Ron Nelson, City Clerk Robyn Keyes, Public Works Supervisor Zech Prouse, Police Chief Shannon Basaraba. VISITORS: None. Mayor Andersen read the recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, which was to allow single family dwellings in the R-T zone provided they meet the R-T zoning requirements. Mayor Andersen said since no one was present in the audience the Council could go directly into discussion of the request. Council President Shaw said she was in favor of allowing single family homes in the R-T zone. Supervisor Prouse said if single family homes were to follow R-T zoning requirements then the description for the R-T zone would need to be amended. The Supervisor suggested adding single family dwellings under permitted uses in the R-T zone. Council member Gubler said he was in agreement to allow single family dwellings in the R-T zone. Clerk Keyes said the representative from Rockwell who was at the Planning and Zoning hearing also wanted to add patio homes to the amendment in the R-T zone. Council Gubler said the patio homes were not on the agenda for the public hearing and would require a separate public hearing Council member Gubler made a motion to allow R-1 homes in the R-T zone provided they met all the regulations of the R-1 zone. Council member McArthur seconded the motion. Mayor Andersen asked if there were any further discussions. Council member Case said he was not clear on the motion and what that would allow. Council President Shaw agreed and said that by allowing R-1 homes to be built in the R- T zone that would include patio homes since they were a permitted use for the R-1 zone. 3 Roll call as follows: AYE: None NAY: Council member Case, Council member McArthur, Council President Shaw, Council member Gubler. Motion died. Council President Shaw made a motion to allow single family dwellings in the R-T zone provided they met the R-1 zoning requirements. Council member Gubler seconded the motion. Mayor Andersen asked if there were any further discussions. Public Works Supervisor Prouse said it would be better to add single family dwellings to the permitted uses for the R-T zone and add patio homes to the prohibited uses in the R-T zone. That way there was no ambiguity to what type of single family dwelling was allowed in the R-T zone. Roll call as follows: AYE: None. NAY: Council member Case, Council member McArthur, Council President Shaw, Council member Gubler. Motion died. Council President Shaw made a motion to add as a permitted use single family dwellings to the R-T zone provided they met the R-1 zoning requirements and to add patio homes as a prohibited use in the R-T zone. Council member Gubler seconded the motion. Mayor Andersen asked if there were any further discussion. There was not. Roll call as follows: AYE: Council member Case, Council member McArthur, Council President Shaw, Council member Gubler. NAY: None. All were in favor. Motion carried.

I attached a brochure that helps, explain what this event is and why the Governor does it. Basically, Capital for a Day events are much like an all -day town hall meeting in which citizens of rural towns outside Boise get to interact face-to-face with their governor and members of his Cabinet. Thank you for getting the news about this event to the Mayor and City Council this evening. I will look forward to talking to Mayor Andersen on Thursday morning so that he can give me a sense of what the citizens' main concerns are related to State government. That way we will know which directors to request. Thank you! Emily Anderson I Special Assistant to the Governor Office of Governor C. L.

G a ?eo ts. 7 2/15/2011 Page 1 of 1 City of Iona From: Emily Anderson [Emily.Anderson@gov.idaho.gov] Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 4:28 PM To: iona@cityofiona.org Cc: Emily Anderson Subject: Planning information -- Iona Capital for a Day on Friday, March 4, 2011 Robyn, It was great talking to you earlier about the upcoming Capital for a Day event in Iona on Friday, March 4, 2011. Here is a run-down of some of the smaller details that come to mind in planning these events. 1. Tables for "panel" — It is best to have a string of tables up front where the Governor and agency folks can sit. I will put name placards in front of them so citizens know who's who (table cloths over the tables also look nice). There should be no more than 12 or 13 people seated with the Governor at the front of the room. 2. Microphones — Wireless microphones work well. It would be good to have one up at the "panel" table plus one more for the crowd. Governor's staff usually walks around and hands a mic to person wanting to talk. Or, you can set up a podium for citizens to approach when they have a question or comment about State government. 3. Sign -in table — We will need to set up a sign -in table in the area where people enter the building. I will bring all materials for sign -in, we just need the table. 4. Lunch — Usually there are about 25-30 of us between directors, agency staff, Governor, and Governor's staff. If you choose to open up the lunch to the public, local leaders and anyone else from the public that wants to come should also be considered in the final count. A final count is hard to identify. It depends on turnout. Menu is up to you guys. As I mentioned earlier, people are accustomed to paying about $10 each to help cover the costs of lunch and if that is how the town chooses to the lunch (if at all), then we will advertise appropriately. 5. PROMOTION - We will send out our press release early next week. That press release will be the "official" announcement of the event and we can start promoting heavily after that. After our press release goes out, we also will send you a flier to distribute around town and the surrounding area. Robyn, thank you very much for your help planning this worthwhile event. I will touch base with you soon. Emily Anderson I Special Assistant to the Governor Office of Governor C. L.

It provides Idahoans with the quality constituent service they deserve and embodies a method of two-way communication that benefits constituents as well as their leaders in state gov- ernment. It is an excellent example that our republic is alive and well — as the Founding Fathers intended it. "It is our job in state government to ensure people in communities all over Idaho have a real say in determining their own future. That's -why --I-bring - 'Capital for a Day' to a different rural town every month — to listen, learn, and solve some problems if we can." -Governor C. L. "Butch" Otter Governor Otter's Capital for a Day Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter P.O. Box 83720 Boise, ID 83720 _ Phone: (208) 334-2100 E-mail: governor@gov.idaho.gov Capital for a Day Every month Governor C. L. "Butch" Otter chooses a different rural town in Idaho to be the state's Capital for a Day. The Governor and members of his Cabinet travel to the chosen town to hear from local residents about a range of topics. The goal of the Capital for a Day program is to bring state government to Idahoans living outside Boise, the capital city. , It is designed to make decision makers in state government more accessible to Idahoans in rural parts of the state. Governor Otter's goal is to visit every county in Idaho as part of this worthy program The iiigyor of Rathdrurn zueicomes Governor Otter and inen herb of his Cabinet at the 'Capital for a Dal' in Kootenai County. The Event Capital for a Day events usually begin at 9 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. with an hour-long break for lunch. There is no formal agenda for a Capital for a Day event. The format is much like a town hall meeting; it is an open discussion forum for citizens to raise any question or idea related to issues involving our government. Typically the Governor's office is made aware ahead of time aboutspecificstate government issues that may come up — such as state lands, the economy, education, wildlife, and so on — and representatives of the agencies that can best respond to questions about those issues are guaranteed to attend.
