WORK SESSION
AB 12-128 Work Session regarding the Golf Pro contract with Allan Morrison
Allan Morrison, Golf Course Manager, briefed Council on current sales figures. Lindley
Kirkpatrick, City Manager, presented the proposed changes to the contract with the Golf
Professional. He stated that the City's contract with Allan Morrison for Golf Professional
services would expire on October 31, 2012. It is the second contract with Mr. Morrison. The first
contract was from May 2003 to December 2007. It was renewed in October 2007. Mr.
Kirkpatrick indicated that the golfing public and staff had been very satisfied with Mr.
Morrison's services over the past nine years. Staff strongly recommended renewing a contract
with Mr. Morrison.
Recommendations for the new contract included: simplification of restaurant revenues by
eliminating the advance and making the percentage split a flat rate throughout the contract,
assumption of some maintenance and repair issues by the Golf Professional, a ten year contract
term, adjustment of the threshold for percentage split for restaurant revenue and adjustment of
tournament fees to $15 for the first five years and $20 for the second five years of the contract.
Mr. Kirkpatrick also shared some of the minor issues that needed to be addressed in the new
contract. Staff strongly recommended that the contract with Mr. Morrison be renewed. A brief
discussion occurred regarding monetary impact to the City for the changes recommended.
Mayor Bailey requested Council be provided with a separate breakdowns of income and
expenses for the restaurant and the pro shop. Mr. Morrison provided City Council with some of
his ideas for increasing income, should he be given a ten year contract.
Mayor Bailey stated he wanted the new contract to be fair to Mr. Morrison and the City.
Council Member Swanson stated that the Golf Course Advisory Council wanted to have input on
the contract. He also requested additional data for the proposed tournament compensation rate
increase. Council Member Swanson requested additional incentive for the business side to
promote the golf course, and asked for clarification on where marketing funds were being
expended. A brief discussion occurred regarding marketing efforts.
The Council requested additional information regarding the finances/data. Council requested that
staff do further analysis and prepare a new contract for the Council's consideration at a future
meeting.
Mayor Bailey led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance at 6:08 p.m.

Blake Watson, Idaho Power Community Relations Representative, updated the Council on a

Aymon thanked Idaho Power, and mentioned several other support efforts by the company.
AB 12-125 Adoption of an Ordinance Amending the McCall City Code Title 5 Chapter 7 -
Animal Control
Pete Rittenger, Detective Sergeant, introduced the Ordinance Amending the McCall City Code
Title 5 Chapter 7 - Animal Control to Council. Officer Rittenger asked Council for guidance on
a graduated fine schedule dependant on the number of violations. A general discussion occurred
on the fine structure and when an offense should be considered a violation verses a
misdemeanor. Council discussed fees being adopted separately, to make them easier to change.
Bill Nichols, City Attorney, encouraged adopting the Ordinance and then basing fees on
information.
Council Member Aymon requested clarification and consistency in using terminology, such as
City Pound. Council Member Swanson requested the licensing renewal date be moved to mid -
January, and wondered if on-line renewal could be offered in the future.
Officer Rittenger reported that a number of editorial and stylistic changes were requested by
Council members at the last minute. He stated the changes would be made that night, and
requested that Council review again. A brief discussion occurred regarding a multi -year
registration.
The item was tabled, to be adopted at the June 29, 2012, special City Council meeting.
AB 12-130 Funding Request to Address Safety Concerns of Legacy Park Volleyball Court
Dennis Coyle, Parks and Recreation Director, presented a funding request to address safety
concerns for the Legacy Park Volleyball Court. Mr. Coyle reviewed two possible options for
addressing the safety concerns, and recommended a safety net (Attachment B). The Council
unanimously agreed to spend up to $3,400 from the Council contingency budget line to install a
net and pads.

requested additional information, and tabled the item until the next meeting.
AB 12-126 Organizational Capacity for Economic Development Functions
The Council briefly discussed economic development functions which might be performed by
existing staff. It was decided that Michelle Groenevelt, Community Development Director,
would be a point of contact and resource for those interested in business development in McCall.
Mr. Kirkpatrick indicated that Ms. Groenevelt would also act as Chamber of Commerce liaison
until the new City Manager was hired.
Council Member Scott stated that some analysis of local business and City code should be
undertaken. A brief discussion occurred regarding when and how to begin.
AB 12-123 Email Retention Procedures for City Council
BessieJo Wagner, City Clerk, reviewed the email retention requirements for City Council
members, as well as methods to comply with those requirements. A brief discussion occurred
regarding e-mail categories. Ms. Wagner offered to create folder structures and do some deleting
for any Council Member requesting her assistance and allowing access to their e-mail. Council
Member Aymon asked for immediate assistance and to be the trial Council Member.
Mr. Kirkpatrick explained to City Council that each City e-mail account was the property of the
City, and could be accessed and reviewed at any time. He strongly encouraged Council members
to use their personal e-mail for all personal correspondence and their City e-mail for all city
business. Mr. Nichols stated that being able to provide an Affidavit stating their personal e-mails
were not used for City business was important in protecting themselves from City liability.
AB 12-127 Response to the Valley County Board of County Commissioners regarding the
City's Contract for City Prosecutor Services
Mr. Kirkpatrick indicated Council had the option of discussing this in Executive Session. Mr.
Nichols indicated that would be his preference, returning to Open Session for Council to provide

ATTACHMENT A
McCall Improvement Committee
2012 Action Plan
Focusing on the Future
The McCall Improvement Committee is a group of local
residents and business owners working together to enhance
the infrastructure, appearance, and economy of McCall.
This Action Plan serves as a blueprint for the Committee's improvement projects. This list
becomes the guiding plan the Committee follows in the near term to help accomplish its goals.
It is presented during the MIC's annual report to the McCall City Council.
The McCall Improvement Committee served as the Gem Community Action Committee for the
City, in partnership with Idaho's Department of Commerce. Therefore, this list of projects
represents McCall's Gem Community Action Plan — those projects the MIC officially supports
and recommends for further government and community backing through grants, agreements,
and partnerships.
The Committee cooperates closely with a non-profit corporation -the McCall Community
Improvement Corporation. MCIC has a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt designation from the Internal
Revenue Service to allow it to receive tax-deductible donations and achieve charitable purposes.
For more information about the McCall Improvement Committee or the Action Plan, contact:

Re: Volleyball Court Safety Improvements
The following is a cost/benefit analysis for making needed safety improvements to the volleyball
court adjacent to the boat ramp at Legacy Park. This comparison includes the cost of moving the
court as well as the issues with each alternative.
Solution 1
Net the north end of the volleyball court. Lumber, cement and hardware will cost $1,580; the
netting will cost $1,077 and $700 in padding of retaining wall for a total cost of $3,358.
The pros of this solution are: This is the least expensive solution, keeps distinct user groups
separate, provides a measure of safety, and provides erosion control along north side of court.
The cons are: The net can be damaged and is expensive to replace and balls can continue to enter
vehicle traffic.
Solution 2
Move the volleyball court south behind the chlorination station. This project would need to be
contracted. It would include a retaining wall for the hillside, padding for the retaining wall,
moving main irrigation lines, installing new lines, installing new court, sod replacement and
improving drainage. Staff estimates the cost of this option to be $7,000 to $8,000.
The pros of this solution are: It provides a higher level safety for those using the volleyball court.
The cons are; Twice the cost of the first option and creates the possibility of conflicts with other
park users.
Parks and Recreation staff recommends the first solution. Staff requests funding assistance from
