Council Member Witte indicated she won't be at the budget meeting on July 26, due to work
conflicts.
Council Member Kulesza congratulated Michelle Groenevelt attaining "Certified Planner"
status.
Council Member Kulesza asked Mr. Nichols about the letter from Michael Ray Robinson. Mr.
Nichols indicated Mr. Robinson has no obligation to disclose the members of the group he
represents. Council is under no obligation to schedule time, but Mr. Robinson can always speak
during public comment time. Additionally, the city is not obligated to compile information they
do not have readily available; but Mr. Robinson can go through reports that are available to find
what he is looking for.
Mayor Bailey asked Dave Simmonds about back-up power for Legion Hall. Mr. Simmonds
indicated he has done research, and based on the likely time of the building retrofit, he would
recommend that the City do preliminary work now, but match the timing of the electrical back-
up with the retrofit so the emergency generator can be sized accurately.
Council Member Kulesza indicated he has seen significant work taking place at the Pancake
House, and wondered if it is part of their original development agreement. Mr. Kirkpatrick
indicated it isn't. Ms. Groenevelt indicated the Pancake House has not talked with the Planning
Department about what they are currently doing. Council Member Kulesza feels that additional
approvals should not be given until the development agreement is paid and off the aging report.
Council Member Kulesza asked if it would be possible to address the aging report issue, with the
Pancake House specifically, but for all of those on the report. Mr. Kirkpatrick indicated that
City personnel would do that.
Mayor Bailey asked about the well water pump in the Legacy building. Mr. Kirkpatrick
explained it is really an intake pump.
Council Member Kulesza complimented Ms. Stokes on the new "Dashboard" report.
Council Member Witte questioned the labor for street painting. Mr. Kirkpatrick indicated that it
is budgeted into this year's budget, and in-house labor will be used for other things. Council
Member Scott questioned timing. Mr. Kirkpatrick indicated that July 4th is the planned deadline.
Mr. Borner clarified what maintenance we are responsible for vs. Idaho Transportation
Department.
Mayor Bailey asked if a public restroom could be included in the new building at the airport.
Mr. Anderson indicated he would look into the possibility. Council Member Scott was
concerned that might not be the right location. Mr. Anderson indicated a rest room is planned
for the East hangar project, as well.
Council Member Kulesza thanked the staff for contacting Paul's regarding paving, as discussed
in a previous meeting.

Council Member Witte questioned Chief Summers on recruiting and personnel numbers, which
Chief Summers clarified.
Mayor Bailey asked Ms. Groenevelt for a report on the REEZ grant. Ms. Groenevelt indicated
she will have a formal report in the near future. Discussion ensued regarding the bid process and
specifications. Ms. Groenevelt indicated that setting standards to select the lowest bidder
without specific requirements for the bid is challenging. Council Member Kulesza asked for
confirmation regarding who received the letter from Idaho Solar. A brief discussion ensued
between staff and Council on wording for bid requests and awarding a contract.

Mr. Anderson indicated the revision is based on Airport Advisory Committee recommendations.
He gave an explanation and summary regarding the written portion, matrix and revisions. He
explained Fixed Base Operators (FBOs). A brief discussion ensued. Council Member Witte
asked if the Federal Aviation Administration reviewed the revisions. Mayor Bailey
recommended sending a copy to the FAA for comments. Mr. Anderson indicated the Minimum
Standards follow the recommendations and requirements of the FAA, but will forward a copy to
them.
Council Member Witte specifically asked about the liability insurance limit of $100,000.
Council Member Kulesza asked if that was the industry accepted standard. Mr. Anderson stated
the committee members chose that amount. Mr. Anderson believes being named as an additional
insured is the most important aspect. Mr. Kirkpatrick asked if upping the amount to $1 million
would make the premiums too high to be attainable for the programs in questions. Council
requested Mr. Anderson do research on cost of raising the limit and what optional amounts are
available.
Council Member Kulesza suggested several other edits/changes. Significant discussion ensued
regarding changes. Council Member Scott asked for and received confirmation that these will
replace the current Minimum Standards, and asked for clarification on people living in their
hangers. Council Member Scott questioned whether current operators will meet these new
minimum standards, particularly the parking issue. Mr. Anderson said the committee researched
that, and all qualified. He also indicated the FAA allows for grandfathering. Mayor Bailey
recommended the elimination of the requirement for suppliers to provide restroom facilities,
especially if the City installs a public restroom, as discussed earlier. Council feels this is an
excellent product overall.
Item tabled To be placed on the agenda again at a later date. Council Members will work
with Mr. Anderson as needed
AB 10-142 Amended Ground Lease for the McCall Avenue Homes
Mr. Nichols indicated that the major change is regarding who qualifies for the subsidy. The new
lease is acceptable to USDA Rural Development. Council Member Witte pointed out many
inconsistencies, requested changes in wording and pointed out grammatical corrections.
Additionally, Council asked for clarification on several items. A lengthy discussion ensued, with
Council Members requesting significant changes. The following significant points were raised
by Council Member Witte:
- Qualify dependant immediate family member vs. immediate family member.
Define what the credit/subsidy is
- Clarify only one non-dependent occupant must be an employee of a local employer
Review for consistency in terminology (i.e. rent, annual rent...)
- Concerned about liability on the City if the United States becomes owner
(Indemnity Provisions)
Explain time allowed to cure default
- Questioned First Right of Refusal pricing structure
Define City's right to take back property at transfer as well as sale
