WORK SESSION
AB 10-268 Airport Taxiway Environmental Assessment; Review of Executive Summary &
Approval of Release to FAA
Rainse Anderson and Sarah Lucas with W&H Pacific gave a presentation on alternate taxiways.
W&H Pacific had strongly recommended the City choose either alternate #3 or #4 for long term
protection. On January 28, 2010 the City Council had voted to select Alternative 3 with a
taxiway separation of 300 feet and acquiring the additional 7.91 acres of land. Mr. Anderson
went through the presentation briefly as much of it had been covered previously.

Sarah Lucas talked about boundaries for wet lands mitigation. Ms. Lucas briefly touched on each
site. It was clarified why it was required to have a wet lands mitigation plan to protect the wild
life within the wetlands, and that the western toad was potentially at risk.
Ms. Lucas stated that the next step for the Council would be to submit the Administrative Draft
of the Environmental Assessment (EA) to the FAA for their review. At this point the FAA has
only reviewed resource reports and not the entire EA. The FAA will take 2-3 weeks to return the
EA with comments. W&H Pacific would then make any necessary changes and then it would be
up for public review for a 30 day period. Then the FAA would issue an environmental finding
which is expected to be a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) with mitigation.
There was a brief discussion as to the process involved in establishing a wet lands mitigation
including the costs involved. It was stated that it could cost anywhere from $50,000 — $80,000
and as much as $120,000 per acre. However, it was too soon to determine actual costs.
Mayor Bailey commended W&H Pacific on a great presentation.
Council Member Delaney moved to release the environment assessment to the FAA.
Council Member Scott seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Delaney,
Council Member Scott, Council Member Aymon, Mayor Bailey, and Council Member
Witte all voted aye and the motion passed.
Mayor Bailey discussed the State Highway 55 vs. Deinhard and public concern on truck traffic.
Deinhard was not designed as a bypass due to agreements made with property owners at the time
that Deinhard was constructed. Deinhard was constructed for "car" traffic and not for the weight
of the big trucks. Council Member Aymon voiced her concern about truck traffic going through
town. Prior to Deinhard being constructed, ITD conducted a study to create a bypass and
through the process chose to not fund a bypass.
Mayor Bailey moved to amend the agenda to add to the consent agenda AB 10-275 Hangar
707 Lease Assignment. This amendment is necessary as the City was notified of the sale of
Hangar 707 on Wednesday December 15, 2010, and purchaser requested completion of
Assignment prior to year-end for tax purposes. Next Council Meeting is scheduled for
January 13, 2011. Council Member Scott seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Mayor
Bailey, Council Member Scott, Council Member Aymon, Council Member Delaney, and
Council Member Witte all voted aye and the motion passed.
Mayor Bailey led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance at 6:05 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING
AB 10-265 New County Surveyor Fee, Resolution 10-24
Bradley Kraushaar, City Planner, reviewed Resolution 10-24 with the Council. There was a brief
discussion as to how the fees were derived. Bill Nichols, City Attorney, stated that the fees

should be adopted as there are times when projects have been approved and the fees would be
assessed after the approval and there would not be a way to collect those fees after the fact.
Mayor Bailey opened the public hearing for New County Surveyor Fee at 6:11 p.m.
Hearing no comments, Mayor Bailey closed the public hearing for New County Surveyor
Fee.
There were a couple of grammatical corrections.
Council Member Scott moved to approve Resolution 10-24 as amended and authorize the
Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Delaney seconded the motion. In
a roll call vote Council Member Scott, Council Member Delaney, Council Member Aymon,
Mayor Bailey, and Council Member Witte all voted aye and the motion passed.

Mayor Bailey called for public comment at 6:13 p.m.
Hearing no comments, Mayor Bailey closed the public comment period.

AB 10-272 Final Energy Audit Report
Joel Chaudoir from True North presented the final Energy Audit Report to Council. Mr.
Chaudoir went over the current energy use per building. He stated that with the changes True
North is recommending, there should be a savings of about 25%. Mr. Chaudoir clarified that the
work to be done will not include the library as shown and also considering the phantom loads the
savings could be up to 30%.

Council Member Witte asked where the old lights go, it was clarified that they do not go to the
landfill, they will be packaged and sent down to the recycle center in Boise. The old ballast will
be sent to Seattle.
There was a brief discussion on the reasons why the airport building uses way more energy than
the Public Works building.
Council Member Scott moved to adopt Energy Audit Report as a planning document for
building facilities. Council Member Aymon seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council
Member Scott, Council Member Aymon, Mayor Bailey, Council Member Delaney, and
Council Member Witte all voted aye and the motion passed.

AB 10-269 Hwy 55 Speed Study
Peter Borner, Public Works Director, gave a report on the Speed Study conducted on Highway
55 from Boydstun Street to Club Hill Road by the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD). The
speed study was conducted on August 3, 2010. Mr. Borner stated that ITD will usually pick a
week day, Monday through Thursday, for the study. ITD made a recommendation to keep the
speed limit at 45 mph. Council Member Scott voiced her concern about the speed limit and the
traffic coming onto the road after the hill. Council Member Witte and Council Member Aymon
also voiced concerns for the need of a lower speed limit.
There was some discussion as to how speed limits are set.
There was discussion that speed should be determined based on safety issues and that the study
should have included different times of the year considering the varying conditions. The Council
would like to see a more comprehensive study and the information to come back to Council at a
future date.
