Council Member Witte had a concern about the pesticide used at the golf course for mosquito
abatement; she would like some advice and information from an additional environmental
source, like the EPA, on the safety of the product being used.
Mayor Kulesza brought up that a clean air environmentalist group wants people to stop idling
their cars such as leaving cars running while they are parked. This may be a great topic for the
Environmental Committee when it gets started.
Mr. Eisenstein stated that Agenda Bill 08-132 Recycle center was pulled from the agenda. Esther
Mulnick was told by the County that they did not have any money for her. Ms. Mulnick is
determined to find funding for this project, so she called Western Recycler to see if there may be
an alternate route. So at this time there isn't anything to report. Recycle Partners are trying to get
a better facility to recycle more efficiently. The alternative is what is currently happening with
the limited facility provided by Lakeshore Disposal.
Mayor Kulesza led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance at 5:59 p.m.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Kulesza called for public comment at 6:00 p.m.
Nicole Youkstetter — An investor, developer, realtor and citizen of McCall is concerned about the
impact fees. She would like to know what she can do as a realtor and as a citizen to have a say
about the impending Impact Fees. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that there will be a meeting in July
scheduled for a work session on Impact Fees and he would contact Ms. Youkstetter with the time
and date of that meeting. Ms. Youkstetter asked if the Boise Impact Fees had been used as a
model for the McCall Impact Fees. Mr. Nichols clarified that all communities are unique so their
Impact Fees would be unique. Ms. Youkstetter asked if the Impact Fees are only for new
construction or will it affect remodels. Mr. Nichols responded that it depends on what that
remodel entails, and does it create an impact on the community. She also wanted to know if
Commercial growth includes the parks fee. It was clarified that the current proposal shows
commercial affecting the streets and police but not the parks fees. Council clarified that the
Impact Fees study will be available on the City web site for reference.
Hearing no additional comments, Mayor Kulesza closed the public comment at 6:07 p.m.
