COUNCIL WORKSESSION
City Manager Report & Consolidated Department Head Report
Mr. Kirkpatrick gave a Wausau update stating that the warrant proceeds were transferred to the
City's account then transferred out to Wausau on May 8, 2008. Confirmation was received from
the City's end that the transaction went through, and Mr. Kirkpatrick is waiting for confirmation
from the Wausau side that they have indeed received those funds. When the City receives that
confirmation from Wausau, the next step will be for Rick Skinner, the bond Counsel, to record
the satisfaction of the judgment with the court and that will close the case. Then next week when
the bonds close and we get the proceeds from those bonds, the City will pay back US bank. So,
by this time next week the City will be completely done with the Wausau issue. The City actually
received a better interest rate of 4.458% than what was first projected of about 4.6%.
Mr. Kirkpatrick gave an update on the tragic loss of Bill Keating, the City's former long time
employee and director of Public Works. Public services had not yet been scheduled, and may be
as long as two weeks until those services are scheduled.

It was also released today that former Chief of Police Donica passed away the morning of May 8,
2008 of cancer.
Mr. Kirkpatrick updated the Council of the staff changes due to the current vacancy of City
Clerk, Treasurer and Deputy City Manager / Administrative Services. For the short term Brenna
Chaloupka has been appointed Acting City Clerk, and Linda Stokes has been .appointed Acting
Treasurer. There have been tasks assigned for the short term. For the long term, Mr. Kirkpatrick
is meeting with staff to confirm the job description is correct with the right job duties prior to
posting the position. With the changes to the position, anything significant will be brought to the
Council.
Mr. Kirkpatrick brought up some scheduling items for the Council to consider; the Golf course is
getting close to being open so the tour with the Council should happen by the end of May. Mr.
Kirkpatrick will work out the calendar details with Council Member Delaney and Council
Member Witte as they have the most items planned that might conflict. A tour of the airport will
be planned as well.
The first draft of the budget is due from staff on Monday, May 12, 2008. There is a meeting on
May 22, 2008 with staff and chairs of the various advisory committees and commissions to work
through the draft budget and bring it all together.
There are a few items that need to be re -scheduled with the Council: the work sessions that were
scheduled for June 19 and 20, during the day, need to be re -scheduled for the evenings, and the
meetings scheduled for July 17 and 18, intended for the budget adoption, need to be re -scheduled
for the evening.
Mr. Kirkpatrick asked if there are any blocks of time that any of the Council Members may be
out of town in the near future. The AIC conference is coming up June 25 and 26. Mayor Kulesza
has been subpoenaed to a federal trial that is to take place in Dallas possibly during the last two
weeks of June or some time in August. Council Member Witte stated she may be out the June 20
through June 22.
Mayor Kulesza asked who will attend the AIC conference; Council Member Bailey stated that he
was planning to attend. Mayor Kulesza then stated that Council Member Bailey would be
designated as the voting member at the AIC conference. Mr. Kirkpatrick also confirmed that he
would be attending the conference.
Mr. Kirkpatrick opened the meeting to the Council for any questions they may have on the
consolidated department report.
Council Member Delaney asked for an update on the Wastewater treatment. Mr. Kirkpatrick
referred the question to Walt Eisenstein. Mr. Eisenstein asked for clarification of the question
and Mr. Kirkpatrick responded that it was a recycling center update question. (Please note: there
may have been some confusion with this question here as Council Member Delaney asked about
McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 2 of 12
May 8, 2008
wastewater treatment and the question posed to Mr. Eisenstein was to do with the Recycling
center.) Mr. Eisenstein responded that they are working with the county to pick out a spot for the
recycling center. Mr. Eisenstein is waiting for a response from Esther Mulnick. The location that
is being looked at for the recycling center is in back of the Lake Side Disposal.
Council Member Bailey asked if the Recycling Partners are aware that the design, presented to
council • last year, will not work. Since that building design will not work, a picture of a drawing -
that will work was sent to them. It is a design from a recycling center in Halley, Council Member
Bailey stated that before funding can be signed over to the project, a design that is in agreement
with Lake Shore and the county must be in place.
Council Member Delaney asked if there is a concept plan for River Front Park. Council Member
Bailey responded that it is in the parks master plans. This is separate from the comp plan.
Council Member Witte asked how big River Front Park is and stated that the numbers are
inconsistent in the comp plan and the parks improvement plan. Michelle Groenevelt responded
that it is around 17 acres and will find those exact numbers for the Council Members.
There was much discussion amongst the Council Members on the size of the park. There was a
point made that the growth plan is directly related to how much is actually owned by the City.
Council Member Delaney asked to clarify what D.E.W. and Granite Holdings are in relation to
the Airport. It was clarified by Council Member Bailey that this refers to the two hangers that are
right along the highway, the two oldest hangers. Council Member Delaney asked what is going
on with them. Council Member Bailey stated that they had planned to tear them down and
replace them, but there have been some objections to the plans. The plan will have to come back
before the Council with the updates. Mr. Kirkpatrick clarified that the plan is as much a
reconfiguration as it is an expansion. The Hangers are currently at an odd angle to the highway
and to the taxiway, so the plan is to square them up to the highway and to the taxi -way. It is a
pretty significant expansion. There has been no construction proposed to Council or to staff, it is
just a reconfiguration of the lease hold and the change to the boundaries of the lease. Council has
to approve that because it is the lease of City land. Any kind of construction will have to be a
separate action and at this time there have not been any pre-apps or early discussions.
Council Member Delaney asked about the "Through the Fence" proposal. At what point will this
start. Mr. Kirkpatrick clarified the timelines and that the owner wants to be ready to build in
2009, however the owner has not done their part to make this happen. It will not happen in 2009.
Council Member Bailey gave the history on the "Through the Fence" issue to Council Member
Delaney. He clarified that the company who purchased property from DeBoer, who subdivided
his property, had the intent to form an agreement with the City. Council Member Delaney asked
if the "Through the Fence" proposal was part of the airport master plan. Mr. Kirkpatrick
responded; no, that it is not.
There was much discussion amongst the Council about the airport master plan.

May 8, 2008
Council Member Witte asked what CDBG stands for in relation to the Airport. Mr. Kirkpatrick
stated it stands for Community Development Block Grant.
Council Member Delaney asked about the River Crossing Sheep Bridge. Michelle Groenevelt
responded stating that there was an initial agreement to refurbish the bridge, however the owners
had some issues with the initial project and aletter was issued stating that they are to -have -it done —
by September 1, 2008. The owners have agreed to have the project completed by that date.
Council Member Bailey had some questions for Michelle Groenevelt about the house owned by
Dr. Newton and the Conditional Use Permit of that building (the Dentist office on West Lake
Street, currently occupied by the office of Dr. Charles). When Dr. Newton chose to pave the
whole front yard, he violated his original CUP. So the City went through the whole code
enforcement process and he was instructed to do some landscaping. Community Development is
currently waiting for the snow to melt to see if he has done his part. The violation of the CUP
included an addition of a second access point onto the highway without obtaining prior approval
and some violations of the amount of parking spaces. Council Member Delaney asked, if the
CUP was revoked, would the current Dentist renting the building be able to practice there, and
Ms. Groenevelt stated that he would not.
Council Member Bailey asked about the status of the left turn lane on Mission Street. Ms
Groenevelt responded that July 8th is when the project is scheduled to start.
Mayor Kulesza asked about the water meter replacement. It was clarified that this is an ongoing
project because they change them out the old when they go bad. The new ones are not failing.
Council Member Bailey questioned the waterline project on Rio Vista — Mr. Eisenstein
responded that the bids were received on May 8, 2008 and an acceptable bid was received. They
had a good turnout for the bidding process. Eleven bids were received ranging from $4999 -
$9400. The information on the bid that is at the front to be accepted has been sent to CHM2Hill
to make sure everything is in order. The City has to ensure that the contractor has all the proper
licensing prior to accepting the bid.
Council Member Scott asked Eric McCormick about the standing water currently on the golf
course, if it is a major concern at this point. Mr. McCormick stated that it is draining well and
that there is some damage but feels that as it clears over time it will come back fine.
Council Member Bailey inquired about the status of Fields & Hopkins Real Estate Office on 3rd
Street, and the bike path issue, now that the turn lane has been completed. Ms. Groenevelt stated
that they are getting ready to send out the code enforcement and that the building is up for sale
and that she will be notifying them of all the conditions required.
Council Member Bailey asked if the land associates received a rezone of Samson Trail, and
asked if it was in the city. Ms. Groenevelt verified that this rezone is in the city limits, it is the
northern part of Samson Trail, not the southern part.

Mayor Kulesza led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance. 6:15
Mayor Kulesza made the following adjustments to the agenda, Agenda Bill 08-98 Whitetail
Escrow agreement has been moved to the end of the Business Agenda and there will be
discussion and possible appointment to the P&Z Commission. Relative to the public hearing of
the Capital Improvement Plan and Impact fees, it was planned to have a resolution and an
ordinance to review, however these documents were not ready for review. The Council will
proceed with the Public Hearing and the record will remain open until May 22, 2008, at which
time the resolution and ordinance will be dealt with.
PUBLIC HEARING
AB 08-95 Capital Improvement Plan and Impact Fees
Anne Wescott, representing Galena Consulting, gave a power point presentation of the process
and the findings of Impact Fees. Ms. Wescott explained how impact fees are calculated and
acknowledged that there was an error in the initial calculations of population growth as pointed
out by Council Member Witte. Ms. Wescott explained that this calculation resulted in some
changes in the overall numbers and in some cases there were no changes in the final outcome.
Ms. Wescott covered three main topics in her presentation: Growth projections for McCall,
Capital Infrastructure Plans, and Calculated Impact Fees. Ms. Wescott wrapped up her
presentation with a question and answer session for the Council members.
Council Member Witte asked if the growth rate is different than projected, how the impact fees
are affected. Ms. Wescott explained that if the growth rate is overstated then the City would re-
evaluate the CIP and the City would grow slower, just as if the if growth is higher, the CIP would
need to be re-evaluated based on that growth.
Council Member Witte asked about the acreage versus miles when calculating the size of parks.
Ms. Wescott explained that for the purpose of the study the parks were figured in acreage as
apposed to miles. Mr. Heasley stated that he did not figure in easements when he made the
conversion from miles to acreage. The acreage can be converted to miles, linear and width.
Council Member Witte asked if Lick Creek Meadows is developed acreage or is it wetlands. Mr.
Heasley stated that it is not completely developed at this time and it is not wetlands. It is
considered open space that the City can use as parks.
McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 5 of 12
May 8, 2008
Council Member Witte questioned how park land fees were calculated, whether it is a simple
non -landscaped park or whether it is a complex park with lots of amenities. Ms. Wescott
explained that the parks projection in the study is based on the average of developing all parks.
Council Member Witte questioned the treatment of the tourist population and the residential
population. Is it fair to charge the new homeowner the parks fee when it is the tourist who benefit
from- those- -parks? -Ms. Wescott- stated that many of those residential houses -and condos are
rented to tourist and therefore the fees are passed onto the tourist population.
Council Member Witte expressed that she felt it was unfair to put the major burden on the
residential population for the tourist benefit. Ms. Wescott stated that it is a rather unfortunate
catch, however until the City and the county work together to figure out how to collect the parks
fees from the area of impact this is how it works.
Council Member Witte questioned whether impact fees would discourage the growth of small
businesses and middle income homeowners to build inside the city, and will it create more
sprawl outside the city limits where there are less or no impact fees. Is the City allowed to
communicate with Valley County on what their impact fees are going to be? Ms. Wescott cannot
speak for the county; however there are some areas that impact both the city and the county. The
elected officials decide on the economical development they want, and if they are likely to lose
that economic development because of the county being more competitive, then the city would
strategize the City's economic development around that competition. Do Impact Fees slow
growth; studies show that over all they do not. As far as housing goes, the City can decide to put
in an exemption for annual median income. Also builders will pass the impact fee onto the home
owner in the price of the house, so if they want to build in the City of McCall, the impact fees
will not stop them.
Council Member Bailey asked what the dollar amount is to build a street, per mile, in the City of
McCall. Ms. Wescott answered that it is about $1 million per lean mile, which includes the
design.
Mayor Kulesza opened the public hearing at 7:01 p.m.
Hearing no further comments, the public hearing was closed at 7:02 p.m.
Mr. Kirkpatrick explained that there is a draft resolution in the Council packet that would
incorporate the Capital Improvement Plans into the Comprehensive Plan, and an Ordinance, not
yet drafted, that implements the impact fees that need adopted. He stated that if council had any
suggestions they would like to see drafted into the ordinance or resolution to let it be known at
this time.
Council Member Bailey brought up the effective date for Impact Fees of January 1, 2009, and
suggested that the Council look at the beginning of the fiscal year which would keep things tidy,
of October 1, 2008. By adopting these fees the Council is committing the City to a minimum of
$230,000 a year in the general fund to do these things and the budget would need to reflect that.
McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 6 of 12
May 8, 2008
Council Member Bailey also stated that whenever possible, grants should be sought out to off set
some of these costs.
Mayor Kulesza explained the reasoning for the January start date, giving builders the time to
adjust to the new fees. The Mayor did see that October 1, 2008 would have much impact on that
reasoning and was open to starting Impact Fees for the new Fiscal Year and acknowledged that it
would make budgeting much "cleaner:
Mr. Kirkpatrick brought up whether the exemptions would be in the Ordinance or at least as a
discussion item at the next meeting. Mayor Kulesza wanted them as a discussion item. Mr.
Kirkpatrick brought up the less than full cost recovery and the committee's recommendation was
for full fees, would the Council want to see a drafted Ordinance at the next meeting with those
recommendations. Mayor Kulesza thought his recommendation would be at full cost but is open
for discussion. Council Member Witte would like to reduce the parks fees. Ms. Wescott
commented that would be saying that the City would decrease their parks going forward as a
community.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that there was at least enough information to get the draft Ordinance
started for the next meeting.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the next action to consider is whether to close public hearing or
continue the public hearing on May 22, 2008 or the staff recommendation that Council leave the
record open for written comment until May 22, 2008.
Council Member Delaney stated that it should be kept open for written comment, Council
Member Witte agreed and stated that the report originally published in the paper be re -published
to reflect the changes and corrections. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the revised report would at
least be on the web site and then whatever the Star News would run from that meeting.
Council Member Delaney voiced a concern about cutting back on the parks.
Mayor Kulesza stated that there will be continuing discussion on pathways and parks.
Council Member Scott moved to close the oral public hearing and keep the record open for
written comment until May 22, 2008. Council Member Delaney seconded the motion and in
a voice vote, all members voted aye and the motion carried.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Kulesza called for public comment at 7:18p.m.
Hearing no comments, Mayor Kulesza closed the public comment at 7:19p.m.

CONSENT AGENDA
Staff recommended approval of the following items:
• Minutes from April 24, 2008
Council Member Delaney wanted to clarify her statement on page 8 of 15, to state that the
sewer bill could be used as a venue for communication of ideas and concerns for the citizens
of McCall on how to conserve and save energy.
Council Member Witte wanted the statement on page 14 of 15 that she is bilingual clarified
to state she can speak conversational Spanish.
Council Member Witte stated that on page 3 of 15 options three and four needs to read and to
create designs to expand the treatment plant capacity, not just expand the treatment plant
capacity. Also Bill Jerrol's name needs corrected from Gerrol to Jerrol. Then on page 5 of
15 in the middle of the page it refers to water treatment plant and should be waste treatment
plant. Council Member Bailey stated that he did say water treatment as he was referring to
some additional projects; the wording needs to reflect that.
Council Member Bailey stated that in the first paragraph on page 6 of 15 it states at a fairness
issue and possible connect, it should read as a fairness issue and possibly connect. Then on
page 12 of 15 in the second paragraph under AB 08-84 it states a navigation easement and
should read an avigation easement. Then on page 14 of 15 the third paragraph it states
ordinance of appeal and should read ordinance to repeal. Then on the last page under AB
08-86 it states that the Urban Renewal Agency meets on the morning of the second Tuesday
of the month and it should be the third Tuesday.
• Warrant Register printed on May 1 & May 6, 2008
Council Member Scott had a question on page 7 of the GL accounts it has the Community
Development expenses, she wanted to know if those expenses were for undergrounding those
utilities. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that no, those are franchise fees.
Council Member Bailey had comment on the phone and DSL charges on page 8, the Golf
funds, that there are reduced rates for having both services on one billing. Council Member
Bailey stated that he did not know if those rates would apply here, however it would be worth
looking into. Council Member Bailey also commented that there should be a way to send
those bills electronically to save on postage and paper costs. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that there
are also fees for electronic billing, but the City would look into that option.

Mr. Smith stated that he would start with the financial statement, going through it at a pace set by
the council, stating that the Council may stop him and ask questions as he goes. Mr. Smith
clarified the use and definitions of the word opinion. Mr. Smith stated that a clean opinion or a
qualified opinion is when there an item to be discussed that would qualify the opinion. Then
there is an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion used when they do not render an opinion
because things are so bad. This however is not the case with the City of McCall. The judgment
with Wausau was emphasized in the report, in the opinion letter and in the footnotes of the
report.
Mr. Smith walked the Council through the financial statements, giving a broad explanation of the
reports as he went along. Mr. Smith explained the process of the audit so that their auditors can
get the most accurate information. He explained the new auditing standards that are required.
Mr. Smith stated that the City of McCall had a very good year overall. He stated that if the
Council had questions later on the auditors are available to answer those questions.
Mr. Smith stated that the auditing standards have changed to include 11 new standards.

the Auditor's Judgment and the Audit Committee letter. Mr. Smith explained some of the
changes that will happen in the audit procedure for the coming year.

Stokes; stating that she has consistently done a good job in the finance department.
AB 08-92 Corrected Tree Ordinance 853
Attorney Bill Nichols explained what the corrections are with the Tree Ordinance and that the
problem may lie -with- the -fact-that- there were many- drafts- of this ordinance. The substance of the
corrected Tree Ordinance is not really different from the one that was originally published. The
few changes that did happen were discussed previously.
Council Member Delaney moved to suspend the rules and read Ordinance No. 853 as

Council Member Bailey made a suggestion for option number four to consider, he suggest that
they look at the entire business park as presented in the Comprehensive Plan and come up with a
future use plan for the entire parcel. Council Member Bailey recommended a community based
development plan, integrated with expert guidance, which could result in a plan that all could
agree on. It was acknowledged that it would be more extensive amount of work over a longer
period of time. Council Member Bailey stated that this is an unusual parcel of land in that is the
only non-residential, non -forested land that we have in the impact area that is zoned
commercially.
Council Member Scott and Council Member Delaney gave input to the importance of coming to
more agreeable terms for homeowners in that area.
McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 10 of 12
May 8, 2008
Ms. Groenevelt stated that there is much conflict in that area, because of the commercial zone
adjacent to a residential zone. A public process might help to mitigate the land use issues.
Mayor Kulesza stated what he liked about Council Member Bailey's suggestion is that it tiers off
the Comprehensive Plan and it looks at a broader area.
Council Member Delaney asked how long it would take to go through that process. Council
Member Bailey stated that maybe three months, and Ms. Groenevelt interjected that with the
difference of the community involvement it could be longer.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that it is an expensive project to go that direction and a large amount of
staff involvement.
The Council engaged in much discussion on this issue, including possible funding issues, staffing
issues, future problems and types of development.
Ultimately it was asked what the priority of this project is and what factors are preventing it from
happening. It is low on the priority list for this year, but could be looked at for next fiscal year.
Council Member Bailey suggested that Carol Coyle, the City's grant writer, look into a possible
grant to help fund this annexation. Mayor Kulesza would like to see a cost estimate on the
project.
Further discussion concluded that there needs to be a cost estimate to see if it can work into the
work plan and budget for next year. Also there was significant interest from the Council so Mr.
Kirkpatrick stated that some plans would be put together and brought back to Council at a later
date.
AB 08-98 Whitetail Planned Unit Development Escrow Agreement and Joint Escrow
Instructions
Council Member Delaney requested an overview of the escrow agreement. Mr. Nichols gave a
brief history on the Whitetail Planned Unit Development and the escrow agreement.
There was some discussion to clarify the purpose of the agreement.
Council Member Scott moved to accept the Whitetail Escrow Agreement; and authorize
the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Bailey seconded the motion
and in a voice vote, all members voted aye and the motion passed.
ADJOURNMENT
Council Member Bailey brought up an issue he had seen on the news where in Mountain Home,
ID there was an issue that someone buried a deceased person in a none burial ground. Council
Member Bailey questioned whether the City of McCall should be proactive with some kind
McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 11 of 12
May 8, 2008
ordinance that restricts burial to a designated burial ground. Mr. Nichols stated that if the Council
is concerned about this issue it is with in their preview to make that policy. Council Member
Bailey stated that there is no law in Idaho that prohibits someone from burying their loved ones
in their back yard. Council Member Bailey stated that he brought up the issue as something to
think about and possibly do something about it.
Mayor Kulesza asked if the Council wanted to act on the P&Z appointment, the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommended Patrick Riceci for that appointment. The Council discussed
and determined that there needed to be more information, such as the length of term, and time for
any other person who might be interested, an opportunity to submit their name for consideration,
prior to making this appointment. This appointment will be on the agenda for the May 22, 2008
meeting.
Mayor Kulesza addressed Tuck Miller, who was in the audience, about the McCall Nordic Ski
Team and their work on organizing the World Masters Cup event. Mr. Miller wanted to thank the
McCall Nordic Ski Tearn for their work on the event, acknowledging them in a fun and
entertaining way with either a certificate or a gift of remembrance for this group of eight. Mayor
Kulesza stated that it will show up on either the next agenda or two.
Council Member Bailey requested that John Anderson come to the Council Meeting and present
a discussion on airport safety issues that may be related to the accident and if the City needs to do
something in response. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that it would be a good topic for the 5:30-6:00
work session.
Council Member Delaney moved to adjourn the meeting. Council Member Bailey seconded
the motion and in a voice vote, all members voted aye and the motion passed.
Without further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:55 p.m.
