the Transportation Committee and VanKomen asked that this

VI. PUBLIC COMMENT:
No one appeared to petition the Council.
VII. STAFF REPORTS:
A. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT:
1. Water connections/lawn watering management: A
memorandum outlining a proposal from the Public Works
department and the Treasurer was recommended. This would
require that any customer with a greater than standard
3/4" or 1" service would be metered and billed as a
commercial account. After discussion, with the consent of
the Council, the Mayor directed the City Attorney to
prepare an ordinance effecting such a program.
2. Park Path paving: The cost of dust oiling was
lower than was planned and a $4500 saving identified.
Staff recommended that this surplus be expended on paving
the rest of the pathway between Mill Park and The
Sportsman Restaurant. Wallace moved to use these funds to
pave the path on the lake front. VanKomen seconded and the
motion carried unanimously.
3. Status reports: The administrator reported on
the status of the RAMOS weather installation at the
airport, on the Comprehensive Plan, July 4 weekend
preparations, notice of conditional use permits for the
Frontier Days Rodeo events, and invited proposals for the
budget preparation.

VIII. OLD BUSINESS
A. PRICE VARIANCE, FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
Revised Findings and Conclusions were presented, as
directed at the conclusion of the public hearing. After
review, VanKomen moved to approve the Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law as presented. Wallace seconded and the
motion carried unanimously on a voice vote. Later in the
meeting, LeBrett asked that her voted be recorded against
the motion and it was so ordered.
LAW:
B. SPRING MOUNTAIN RANCH AGREEMENTS: The City
Attorney reported on his review of the documents,
clarifying that he had not been a party to all of the
negotiations, and asked that the minutes show that the city
was relying on the following: the city's inability to
produce an appraisal within 30 days of December 31, 1992 on
the right of way agreement would not be construed as a
breach of the agreement, that the agreement was not
intended to be in lieu of subdivision agreements for each
plat or phase, that the agreements do not preclude further
exactions from the developer as each phase is approved,
that the agreements do not preclude the imposition of
impact fees, and with those provisions the agreements
appear to reflect the changes requested as of December 7,
1991.
After questions and discussion and further direction
to the City Attorney for language clarifying certain
matters, the Council asked that additional changes to
the language be discussed with the developer and then the
agreements be returned to them. The Council asked that
these drafts be circulated to the Golf and Transportation
Committees for final review and comment and that the
following be dealt with in further discussion with the
developer:
1. That failure to build golf course should work a
forfeiture of the PUD approval, and did agreement look like
that? I said no.
2. That right of way agreement left City on hook if award
of damages in condemnation action exceeded appraisal
obtained by City.
3. That right of way agreement provided that developer
could increase width of trunk road to 36 feet, leaving City
with increased costs -- and wasn't that intended as quid
pro quo for developer providing the paving machine which we
were instead now going to provide.
4. That parties for administration of agreements for City
should be Mayor and Clerk, not Clerk and Attorney.
5. That present City Attorney should feel free to review
agreements for substance and form beyond the changes made
since last prior edition.
6. Layout pathways and walkways coordinated with Golf
Committee to ensure that these do not impede golf play.
It was so ordered.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
A. NOTICE OF APPLICATION, DOUGLAS MANCHESTER FOR A
PRIVATE SWIMMING AREA ON PAYETTE LAKE.
The Council reviewed the Idaho Department of Lands
application. After discussion, Wallace moved to advise the
Department of Lands that the City opposed the application
and that Manchester should be advised that the City's no
wake ordinance would accomplish the same goal. Manchester
should adopt sufficient buoys to have this zone marked in
front of his property. Larson seconded and the motion
carried.
B. AGREEMENT FOR DRAINAGE, IDOT FOR THE INTERSECTION OF
THIRD AND COLORADO:
VanKomen moved that the agreement be approved and the
Mayor authorized to sign. Wallace seconded and the motion
carried unanimously.
C. ORDINANCE 611, RELATING TO OPEN CONTAINERS OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES:
The Attorney advised that this section had been
overlooked in the recodification of Title 5 of the City
Code. The Council asked for a certain amendment clarifying
the intent. VanKomen then moved to suspend the rule
requiring that the Ordinance be read on three separate
occasions. LeBrett seconded and on a roll call vote,
VanKomen, LeBrett, Wallace and Larson voted Aye. The Mayor
declared the motion carried and the rule suspended.
Wallace then moved to adopt Ordinance 611. Larson
seconded. The Attorney read Ordinance 611 by title. On a
roll call vote, Wallace, Larson, LeBrett and VanKomen voted
Aye. The Mayor declared the motion carried and the
Ordinance adopted.
In further discussion, VanKomen asked that if this
ordinance causes complaints, the Council reopen the
discussion and reconsider this ordinance. The Council
consented.
X. BOARD, COMMITTEE AND COMMISSION MINUTES REQUIRING
ACTION:
A. TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE, JUNE 10:
The Council had acted on the Committee recommendation
regarding the Sports Marina on June 11. A recommendation
on parking and signage in the marina area was considered.
The Committee recommended that a boat trailer parking lot
be created on the Fir/McCall Ave. holdings, that the East
side of East Lake St. be marked for 2 hour parking from
Mill Park to the Marina, that the west side of E. Lake St.
from Mill Park to the park entry be marked for No Parking
and as a tow away zone, and the West side of East Lake from
the Sportsman Restaurant to the park parking lot be posted
for 2 hour parking, and that the Marina lot, south of the
Sports Marina, be marked for 2 hour parking and that the
Fir St/McCall Ave. trailer lot be marked for 72 hour
