Council Member Delaney was absent. Staff present were Lindley Kirkpatrick, City Manager; Bill Nichols, City Attorney; Linda Stokes, City Treasurer; Bradley Kraushaar, City Planner; Eric McCormick, Golf Superintendent; Carol Coyle, Grant Coordinator; and BessieJo Wagner, City Clerk. GENERAL WORK SESSION Annexation proposal — Jim Chambers Bradley Kraushaar presented the proposal for Jim Chambers request for the annexation of a 4.5 acre parcel between the Woodlands and Fox Ridge subdivisions to secure sewer and water services. The 4.5 acre parcel is a small piece of a future large-scale development that Mr. Chambers has proposed. The proposal of annexation of this parcel is so a church may purchase the land from Mr. Chambers with the confidence that services will be available. Council Member Bailey opinion was that the entire parcel should be annexed at the same time instead of doing pieces; Council Member Witte agreed. The explanation for coming to Council prior to Planning and Zoning was that the church wanted some assurance that this could happen prior to acquiring the property. There was some discussion on the issue of whether this annexation would be serviced through the City or the Payette Lakes Water and Sewer District. It was stated that there were things to consider such as how the land was laid out, as well as the sewer bond issue with the City. McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 1 of 11 March 26, 2009 There was some discussion of the possibility of having a church in a residential area and the general consensus from the Council was that it would not be an issue. Mayor Kulesza's opinion was not opposed to looking at the smaller annexation; however the infrastructure of the larger project needs to be considered. Council Member Bailey suggested that the developer consider a PUD and do it in phases in a logical progression. He also suggested that they take it to a preliminary hearing with the Planning and Zoning Commission. It was clarified that it was brought to Council first due to the possible sewer issues. Council Member Scott stated that if it is practical, to let the sewer feed where it would naturally, otherwise she is supportive of the development. Council Member Bailey stated that his preference is that all new annexations into the City would have City water and sewer. He also suggested that the City look at the larger picture and possibly connect this project with other project such as the possible Krahn Lane annexation. General consensus was that for this piece of the development there was not an issue as far as the water and sewer district. The applicant will need to go through the Planning and Zoning process at which time there will be agreements made. Mayor Kulesza Amended the Business Agenda to add AB 09-59 Assumption of lease for Greystone Village #3, Lot 7, Block 3, from Neighborhood Housing Services to Raymond A. Waldsmith as the third item on the Business Agenda. Mayor Kulesza led the pledge of allegiance at 6:09 p.m. PUBLIC COMMENT Mayor Kulesza called for public comment at 6:09 p.m. Victoria Melton — General Manager of the Americlnn Lodge and Suites — Ms. Melton read a letter from the owner of Americlnn, Brad Bower. The letter expressed concern for the apparent lack of City involvement and lack of tourism promotion. His opinion was that McCall should have a scheduled event every weekend. Overall he was supportive of John Blaye. Robert Lyons — 903 Ann St — Mr. Lyons expressed his support of John Blaye. He stated that he has not seen support from the City for business growth in the City. Mr. Lyons would like to see good paying jobs brought to the City of McCall. His opinion was that the Upper Payette River Economic Development Council (UPRED) should have more funding not less. Darrell Cobb — 1550 Chris lane — Mr. Cobb expressed his support of John Blaye. He stated that many stores are empty and the City needs to find a way to attract new businesses. His opinion was that the City should fund and work with John Blaye. McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 2 of 11 March 26, 2009 Greg Lovell — Mr. Lovell expressed his support of John Blaye. He feels that the City needs to be a partner with the UPRED Council and John Blaye. He feels there are opportunities to bring businesses here. Rhonda Sandmeyer — 636 Floyd St — Ms. Sandmeyer has worked with John Blaye and she is supportive of the work he does. It was her opinion that the City Manager and City Council were anti -growth. She stated that her opinion was that Mr. Kirkpatrick was not supportive of the position and she asked that the Council support John Blaye. Ms. Sandmeyer read an email from the owners of McCall Rental, David and Janice Whitney. The letter was supportive of John Blaye. They felt that the UPRED Council is instrumental in achieving economic growth in McCall. Hearing no further comments, Mayor Kulesza closed the public comment at 6:29p.m. BUSINESS AGENDA AB 09-50 Historic Preservation Committee Annual Report Marlene Bailey presented the Historic Preservation Committee Annual Report. Mayor Kulesza asked about the four properties and what the process was for recognition of the Historic Places. Mrs. Bailey stated that there is an extensive process to be followed that includes research into the history of each property to determine the age and significance of the properties. She stated that they use such recourses as property deeds and descendants of property owners and more. AB 09-55 LOT Report 2009 revenue update — Stephen Gleason Stephen Gleason, Chairman of the Local Option Tax Commission, recommended that there be a 10% cut in funding across the board to be effective immediately for the remainder of the year. Due to the revenues from the LOT contributors showing a downward trend, he felt it was the fairest way to cut funding as it appears that the funding will fall short. By cutting all applicants that have yet to be funded, it gives the remaining projects the opportunity for some funding as opposed to completely cutting the funding of an entire project. Mr. Gleason stated that in the event that the shortfalls in revenues are made up, then each project would be bumped back up. Mr. Gleason stated that the LOT Commission would meet again in June and September to compare the actual revenues to projected and determine if the 10% cut will remain or if revenues show an increase or decrease from projected revenues and make some additional recommendations at that time. Council Member Scott and Mayor Kulesza agreed with the proposal. Council Member Bailey stated that he preferred that a project gets pulled as opposed to the standard 10% cut across the board. There was some discussion as to whether some of the projects be postponed so that some of the more critical projects get done. McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 3 of 11 March 26, 2009 Council Member Witte moved to approve the 10% reduction in funding for each remaining project. Council Member Scott seconded the motion. In a voice vote all members votes yes and the motion passed. AB 09-59 Assumption of lease for Greystone Village #3, Lot 7, Block 3, from Neighborhood Housing Services to Raymond A. Waldsmith Mr. Kirkpatrick gave a brief summary of the lease assumption. Bill Nichols, City Attorney, stated that this was the first lease assumption since the first amendment to the ground lease was made. The lease assumption form was the same as the ones used previously and a correction needs to be made on page two, under the covenants in article 3; the last two lines of 3.1 should read "...in such Lease and the First Amendment to Lease true and correct copies of which are attached hereto marked Exhibits A and B." Council Member Bailey moved to authorize the transfer of the land lease for Lot 7; Greystone Village #3, from Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. to Raymond A. Waldsmith, with corrections stated by Mr. Nichols and authorizes the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Scott seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Bailey, Council Member Scott, Mayor Kulesza and Council Member Witte all voted yes and the motion passed. AB 09-57 VARHA proposal regarding the McCall Avenue homes — Continuation Mr. Nichols gave a summary as to the reason for the continuation. Mr. Nichols wanted to look at the sequence of events surrounding the McCall Avenue homes. He stated that there was language in the VARHA Covenants, which has been amended at least once in the process, to broaden the range of buyers eligible to purchase the homes and to remove some of the impediments of the marketability of the homes. These amendments include removing any appreciation caps and other items that made it difficult to sell the homes. There were some remaining items in the covenants that if the lender forecloses and takes the property back or a purchaser in the foreclosure sale would not take the property subject to the covenants. Mr. Nichols continued by saying that the ground lease states that the only purpose for the property is for community or work force housing. The first amendment to the ground lease expands the statement by accepting some occupants that might not be considered community or work force housing, stating that they would have to pay additional rent on the leased property. The additional rent would be twice the Idaho Department of Lands rate for cottages leases on Big Payette Lake. The Idaho Department of Lands lease rate is 2.5% of the value of the lot per year. So the first amendment would make it a 5% of the value of the lot each year that would have to be paid as additional rent if the property was not used for community or workforce housing. Assuming the lot is worth about $45,000, the annual rent would be $2250 or a little less than $190 a month. It was clarified that the first amendment only applies to the six properties that have not yet sold. The question becomes that if NHS cannot sell the homes before the bank has to foreclose, and it goes to sale, does the bank accept the first amendment to the lease because it was not in place at the time of the loan, in which case the original ground lease that was in place, was a fifty year lease and it was restricted strictly to community workforce housing. It is Mr. Nichols opinion that if the bank accepts the first amendment to the ground lease it broadens the market, if the McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 4 of 11 March 26, 2009 bank does not accept it then it still has to be community workforce housing even if the covenants go away. Mr. Nichols stated that the information has been given to the Council because it bears upon the issue of whether it is in the best interest of the City to convey fee title to VARHA and do away with any interest the City has with the McCall Avenue homes. Mayor Kulesza does not feel that it is the best interest of the City to convey the land to VARHA. Mr. Nichols stated to the Council that there are two pieces that he has not seen, one is the bank's lawyer's opinion, and the second is the document the City signed in terms of consent to encumbrance when NHS took out the loan that was recorded on the properties. Council Member Scott was considering that the transaction might get the homes occupied sooner. Council Member Witte did not feel that the Council should take any action without having all the information first. Greg Lovell, representing VARHA and Idaho First Bank, stated that there were some opinions in the beginning of the project that home ownership was not the way to go, and that possibly rentals would have been better. The bank, in partnership with other banks in town, along with Neighborhood Housing helped the City make the community housing project happen. He stated that during the course of the negotiations, VARHA was put in place to administer the City's ordinance. This has since been negated through the court action taken by the real-estate group. Through the process the bank needs to be able to foreclose if needed for the protection of the banks and the shareholders. So the deed restrictions anticipate the possibility of foreclosure. He quoted 8.5 of the deed restrictions that "the foreclosing party may proceed with the foreclosure action and the property may be sold for more than the maximum sale price to a person other than a qualified buyer." He continued to read stating that "...providing the foreclosing party has strictly adhered to the requirements of section 8.4 and 8.5 and all rights and redemptions or challenges to the validity or enforcement of the foreclosure sale has expired this covenant and the rights of VARHA here under shall terminate." Therefore the deed restrictions would go away. Mr. Lovell then stated that you are left with the Ground lease, and they have addressed this with their attorneys, under section one — there is no definition of the term of work force housing. He stated that the only definition was contained in the deed restriction. VARHA has made the proposal to the City to make it more viable to sell the property. He stated that VARHA and professional real estate people have tried to sell the homes, and he feels that due to the deed restrictions it has made them impossible to sell. He also stated that there are employers in town that would like to purchase the homes for their employees. He stated that the process would be that VARHA wanted to buy the note on the houses from NHS and then sell them at market rate without a lease; they would be able to generate enough excess funds that the loan would get paid off after selling three more houses. Then VARHA McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 5 of 11 March 26, 2009 could rent in perpetuity the remaining houses to provide additional rental affordable housing. VARHA was unable to find funding for that purpose. Mr. Lovell stated that due to his inherent conflict of interest, he submitted his resignation to VARHA. He also feels that there will be a battle in the courts over this issue. He feels that all parties have looked for a way to make it work. Idaho First Bank bought out the other banks and took the full load of the loan to put off foreclosure. As CEO of the Idaho First Bank, Mr. Lovell stated that his shareholders in McCall are going to be damaged by the situation. He stated that Idaho First Bank pays more in taxes that all the other banks combined in town. He stated that he was very sad of the possible position of the community. Mr. Lovell stated that the Council should think about the empty homes. He thinks that McCall still needs affordable housing. Council Member Scott asked for clarification that Mr. Lovell may have been suggesting that even if the land is deeded it is too late. Mr. Lovell stated that at this point he did not think that VARHA could get financing. He felt that the solution would be to try to maintain the stock of homes as much as possible and deed the property to VARHA to sell. Mr. Nichols asked the question that if the homes could be rental units as opposed to owner occupied then it would help them to sell. Mr. Lovell did not think that was the issue, it was more the issue of saving some for rentals. Currently with the deed restrictions it is difficult to sell them. There was some discussion of what the issue of selling the homes truly was and it was stated that the owner occupied restriction was the issue. According to Mr. Lovell the loan is delinquent and the bank has started the foreclosure process. There was a general consensus that no one wanted the homes to go into foreclosure. There was continued discussion on what restrictions the homes had currently. Council Member Bailey feels the best thing to do is to get the homes occupied, preferably by people who work here. Council Member Scott feels that the City has tried everything possible to make the community housing effort work and she would not be opposed to them selling as rentals. Mr. Nichols suggested to the Council that if they are willing to consider removing the owner occupied restriction, and then pass a motion to that effect. That will give the community the knowledge that if someone has a contingent offer to remove the restriction they can be assured that the Council has removed that restriction. He stated then at a later date the Council can consider what restrictions they would like to impose on the renters to ensure that the property is maintained. Mr. Lovell pointed out that in the lease agreement it is already stated that the grounds must be maintained. Council Member Scott stated that she is willing to whatever it takes to get them sold even if it meant deeding the land to VARHA. Public Comment Johannes Kury — 1539 McCall Avenue — Mr. Kury expressed concern with the value of his home with the possible changes to the covenants or the land lease. He just recently purchased one of McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 6 of 11 March 26, 2009 the McCall Avenue homes and is concerned for his property value if the other homes are sold as rentals. Mr. Nichols stated that the City would make it right by the people that have already bought, so if there is a change made that would disadvantage his lot more than the others the Council would want to make it so that he was on the same footing as the other lots. Fred Lawson asked the question of what repercussions do the current owners have if covenants and or leases are changed. There was discussion with the Council on the benefit of removing the owner occupied restriction and what may happen if they became rentals expressing the importance of maintenance agreements. Bradley Kraushaar, City Planner, is interested in purchasing one of the homes and asked that the Council consider that the point of the homes being owner occupied is not related to the value of the property and is preferable to any other option. He stated that from his perspective it would be less desirable to have the homes as rentals than as second homes. Ronda Sandmeyer stated that as a builder, she thinks that the Council needs to consider that the City does not need to be in another possible law suit. She states that the second homeowner would maintain the homes and the property value would not be affected. She feels that the current owners would not be happy with employee housing. She also suggested that the Council seek the opinion of a realtor of how the property value may be affected by the different options of rentals or second home owners. Becky Johnstone, a local realtor, stated that if the homes are rented then there should be something in the lease agreement that limits the number of people that occupy the home. Council Member Bailey clarified that in the lease it does state that it is to be a single family occupancy. Greg Lovell reiterated that time is of the essence and that the Council needs to either release the owner occupied restriction or convey the land to VARHA. He stated that if the lots are worth $45,000 it would take the sale of three homes at $160,000 to pay off the debt and then VARHA would have two left that would be free and clear of debt to use as rentals for community workforce housing. Council Member Witte expressed concern with transferring the land to VARHA. She stated that it is public land and to transfer it to VARHA to sell it to whomever the proceeds would go to a private entity and not to the City. She completely agreed that the value of the land needs to be preserved. Mr. Nichols stated that in the assignment of the lease there could be some restrictions as to the number of people living in the home. There are some restrictions under the Fair Housing Act that the Council needs to be aware of, so if it a family you have to look how that is defined under the Fair Housing Act. The length of stay by visitors and the number of vehicles allowed in the driveway or on the street could also be addressed. It is something to consider with each offer. Becky Johnstone commented that if the Council voted to convey the lots to VARHA, and they are sold without the lease restriction, covenants can be made within the subdivision to be the same as the lease requirements. McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 7 of 11 March 26, 2009 There was discussion on the fact that there are homes that have already sold under the lease agreement and then there would be homes sold with the land. Mr. Nichols responded that the Council would have to make a decision to put all the homes on the same terms. Mayor Kulesza stated that the Council needs to make a motion to indicate that offers would be considered with contingency of the removal of owner occupied. There was some discussion as to what this would mean when offers are made. Mr. Lovell recommended the removal of owner occupied restriction or deed the land to VARHA, there is no time to negotiate. When accepting offers he will have to consider whether he would accept offers below the amount owed. Council Member Bailey motioned to amend the covenants for the McCall Avenue homes to remove sections 3.5 An Owner who transfers employment to a location outside Valley or Adams Counties, or has to move outside Valley or Adams Counties for health reasons or to care for a family member with health concerns, and such Owner is unable to sell the Property to a Qualified Buyer, then, in that event, Owner may rent the Property to a Qualified Occupant. When Owner seeks to rent all or any portion of the Property, Owner shall complete, execute and deliver to VARHA a Notice of Intent to Rent as set forth in the Guidelines. If the Property is financed through the Idaho Housing and Finance Association, further and more restrictive requirements with respect to rental of the Property to non -owner Occupants may be required. and 3.6 In the event Owner, in good faith compliance with the procedures set forth in the Guidelines, is unable to find a Qualified Occupant with whom to enter into an agreement for the rental of the Property, Owner shall notify VARHA of such occurrence. VARHA may then provide Owner with a list of Qualified Occupants from which Owner might seek to enter into a rental agreement with in accordance with Section 3.5. By providing a list of Qualified Occupants, VARHA does not warrant, represent or guarantee the Qualified Occupant's ability to perform its duties or obligations under the rental agreement. The selection of any Qualified Occupant is at the sole risk of the Owner. The maximum rental term shall not exceed one year unless Owner obtains written authorization from Declarant and VARHA after providing Declarant and VARHA with such information that either Declarant or VARHA deem necessary to evaluate the request for extended lease of the Property. A Qualified Occupant either alone, or in combination with the Owner, must comply with the Covenants regulating use and maintenance of the Property set forth in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 below. and 4.1 Except as allowed at 3.5 above, Owner shall use the Property as the Owner's primary place of residence. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Property shall be deemed the Owner's primary place of residence if the Owner (a) occupies more than thirty percent (30%) of the interior floor space (85% if the Property is financed by the Idaho Housing and Finance Association), (b) is physically present on and residing in the Property for not less than nine (9) months in every twelve (12) month period, (c) has not accepted employment outside of Adams or Valley County (distinct and isolated projects outside of Adams or Valley County not exceeding ninety (90) days in duration shall not constitute a violation of this section). and authorize the mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Scott seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Bailey, Council Member Scott, Mayor Kulesza and Council Member Witte voted yes and the motion passed. Mayor Kulesza called a recess AB 09-54 Upper Payette River Economic Development Council Report — John Blaye Commissioner Gordon Cruickshank read a letter from Senator Heinrich. Senator Heinrich stated in his letter that he is a supporter of rural economic development and the Governor's Rural Economic Program that has been funded by the Idaho Legislature in Valley County. He commended the Council for their commitment to economic growth in McCall. He stated that McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 8 of 11 March 26, 2009 John Blaye has done an outstanding job of economic development in the valley, stating that John Blaye has over 25 years of experience in business expansion and retention, job creation and business recruitment. Senator Heinrich recognizes Mr. Blaye's efforts and abilities, and states he is over loaded and needs additional funding for additional staff. He asked that the City of McCall continue to fund the UPRED Council and John Blaye. He stated that it would be a mistake to make changes to how Valley County economic development operates and serves the City of McCall. Commissioner Cruikshank read a letter from Dr. Von Tidwell — He expressed his support of the UPRED Council and John Blaye and asked that the McCall City Council continue to support them as well. Commissioner Cruikshank distributed the UPRED activity report to the Council. Mr. Blaye put the report together to show what he has accomplished primarily in Valley County. For continuing cases that Mr. Blaye has worked on from 2008 to present there are 137. There are 60 new cases that Mr. Blaye was currently working on for McCall in 2009. Commissioner Cruikshank stated that the City of McCall has contributed $84,000 to UPRED over the last nine years. Valley County contributes $60,000 a year to UPRED. He asked that the Council pay the $22,500 budgeted for UPRED this year. Fred Lawson, former Boise County Commissioner and former Chairman of the UPRED Board for six years, spoke on John Blaye's behalf. He stated that Mr. Blaye needs additional funding and staff to do what he does. He stated that the Council should consider keeping him on and continue funding the UPRED Council. Mayor Carter, Cascade, stated that that there was a young couple from Florida who donated $500,000 to the water park project in Cascade. Through all the data and research that Mr. Blaye put out for the water park information is what brought this couple to donate the money. This donation will allow for an opening day next spring. He will be recommending that Cascade up their funding for UPRED. He stated that Mr. Blaye's work accomplishments speak for itself. Commissioner Cruickshank stated that McCall does have an in house grant writer; however she cannot go out and do business recruitment. He suggested that the City's Grant writer and Mr. Blaye work together on some of the projects. He asked the Mayor and City Manger to appoint someone from the community to the UPRED Advisory Council. Mayor Kulesza stated his appreciation for all those who spoke on Mr. Blaye's behalf and the UPRED Council; however the intent of the having Mr. Blaye at the Council Meeting was not to determine the funding issue but to receive Mr. Blaye's six month report. Although Mr. Blaye had many speak on his behalf and share what has been happening with UPRED, Mayor Kulesza stated that he was still welcome to come forward and share his report. John Blaye thanked his supporters and thanked the Council for the opportunity to work for the City of McCall. Council Member Bailey asked if Mr. Blaye had any predictions on what may happen at Tamarack. Mr. Blaye stated that several buyers have been in to look at Tamarack; however with McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 9 of 11 March 26, 2009 the resort's $22 million in liens and a total of $322 million in debt, no one wants to buy. The UPRED Council was asked by several of Tamarack's employees talk to the governor, the Idaho Department of Commerce and the Attorney General's Office to expedite the foreclosure date of March 2010. There will be a sheriffs sale for Tamarack. Credit Suisse lost $20 billion in the downturn of the economy. An investor would need $750 million plus the original debt to restart the resort. In response to Mayor Kulesza's question on retention and recruitment Mr. Blaye stated that there are concerns about the communication between the City, the Mayor, the Planning and Zoning staff and the City Manager about communicating with the local business owners. The community feedback is that they think that the Fire Department is great; they would like to see improvement in City management communication when looking at projects. Mr. Blaye suggested that the Council look at the rule of 10% formula retail and the sign ordinance. Mr. Blaye needs a better understanding of the rule. He suggested that the City hire an events coordinator as events are needed in the community. He stated that is the perception of the community that it takes six months to get a sign approved and that can be a deterrent. It was his opinion that Amerigas needs to find a new location as its current location creates a possible endangerment to homes. He would like to see the City become pro business as it is the current perception that it is negative. There are developers looking at doing a 9,000 foot runway in Donnelly, if that happens the area could see rapid growth again. AB 09-58 Wastewater Policy and Resolution 09-03 adoption Mr. Kirkpatrick explained that this was the annual wastewater policy to ensure that the City has enough sewer capacity, to ensure that DEQ does not come in and control the way the City allocates the wastewater capacity and it is a way to ensure that the City has adequate capacity available for a variety of uses. Council Member Bailey moved to adopt Resolution 09-03 and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Witte seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Bailey, Council Member Witte, Mayor Kulesza and Council Member Scott voted yes and the motion passed. AB 09-56 Water System Agreement with IDEA and Resolution 09-02 adoption Mr. Kirkpatrick explained the reason for the water resolution stating that due to the new redundancy rules that DEQ implemented and came effective in 2008. This resolution is needed to assure DEQ that the City adhering to its limitations and that the City adheres to specific location restrictions. Council Member Scott moved to approve the Water System Agreement with IDEQ, adopt Resolution 09-02, and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Witte seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Bailey, Council Member Witte, Mayor Kulesza and Council Member Scott voted yes and the motion passed.
