AB 13-27 Proposed Code Amendment to McCall City Code Title 4 —Taxicabs
BessieJo Wagner, City Clerk, presented the Proposed Code Amendment to McCall City Code
Title 4 —Taxicabs to Council. At the July 26, 2012 City Council Meeting it was identified that
Title 4 of the McCall City Code was outdated and needed to be re -written. The McCall City code
currently did not have any standard regarding the issuance of business licenses to taxicabs. At the
September 13, 2012 City Council Meeting it was identified by staff and Council that there was a
need to establish City Code to regulate how taxicab licenses were issued. At the September 27,
2012 Meeting, Council reviewed a draft taxi ordinance, made some changes, and requested an
additional work session to review the changes. The purpose of this work session is for the
Council to review the revised draft ordinance that will establish regulations for taxicab licenses.
Mrs. Wagner clarified the additional changes made to the draft ordinance.
Council Member Aymon asked for clarification on 4.4.5 C on page 5, the sentence that refers to
"paid any fine". Bill Nichols, City Attorney, clarified that an infraction may not be a
misdemeanor and the only remedy to the infraction is paying a fine. Also as it relates to the
ordinance, paying a fine would be anything related to the list in 4.4.5.
Mayor Bailey asked for clarification on 4.4.5 D where it defines why someone would not be
eligible for a taxi license, particularly it states "received a withheld judgment". Mr. Nichols
clarified stating that to operate a taxi is a privilege not a right. He also stated that the Council can
regulate privileges differently than in a situation where someone would have the right to do. He
clarified further stating that while the State of Idaho may state that a person was not convicted,
the Council can, for the purpose of whether someone qualifies for a taxi license in the City of
McCall, treat a withheld judgment as a conviction.
Council Member Swanson asked for clarification about whether drivers of the transit would fall
under the Commercial Transportation Business. Mrs. Wagner clarified that in the definitions
buses were excluded.
Council Member Aymon asked for clarification of the statement in 4.4.11 that states "It is not
necessary for children's vehicles to be equipped with either taximeters or posted with a schedule
of flat rate fares." It was determined that it was not applicable to McCall and was stricken.
Council Member Aymon commented on the rule that smoking was not permitted while
transporting customers, stating that smoking should not be allowed at all in the taxi at any time.
Mr. Nichols stated that he felt it was more of an issue for the Taxi Company to regulate than a
public health issue.
Council Member Swanson asked for clarification of 4.4.8 J., it states "Loiter upon or about any
premises within the city for the purpose of seeking or soliciting prospective passengers who have
not engaged the taxicab or commercial transportation service by previous appointment." It was
determined that this restriction be stricken.
Council Member Witte stated that it was not clear if the City was licensing the business or the
drivers. Mrs. Wagner stated that was clarified in the version handed out at the meeting. She
McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 2 of 10
January 24, 2013
clarified that the business needs a license to do business and each driver needs a license to drive
a taxi.
Council Member Witte also asked for clarification as to what type of services are being offered
and what was the difference between Auto Transportation Service and Commercial
Transportation Services. Through a brief discussion it was determined that all references to Auto
Transportation Service would be stricken.
Council Member Witte commented that paragraph 4.4.5 F seemed subjective. Mr. Nichols
clarified that this paragraph gives the City some flexibility should they receive many complaints
concerning a taxicab driver or service; the City could revoke the license.
Council Member Witte commented that paragraph 4.4.13 does not reference taxi and should be
added to the paragraph.
Council Member Witte commented that paragraph 4.4.15 add "This provision does not apply to
the taxicab or commercial transportation vehicle not in service."
Staff will bring the Ordinance to the next meeting for adoption.
Mayor Bailey led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance at 6:03 pm.
PUBLIC HEARING
AB 13-13 Zoning Ordinance Amendment: Parking Standards
Delta James, City Planner presented the Zoning Ordinance Amendment: Parking Standards to
Council. The City of McCall Downtown Parking Study and Needs Assessment Final Report
(2009) demonstrates that there is a surplus of public parking within downtown and recommends
reducing commercial parking requirements as an approach to promote infill and downtown
development. Staff, in an effort to implement this recommendation, has researched parking
requirements of like communities and conducted work sessions with the Planning and Zoning
Commission to identify an appropriate reduction in commercial parking requirements at this
time. Staff views these reductions as an interim step until the upcoming Downtown Master Plan
update is complete, at which time additional reductions may be recommended.
Mayor Bailey opened the public hearing for the Zoning Ordinance Amendment: Parking
Standards at 6:20 p.m.
Hearing no comments Mayor Bailey closed the Public Hearing
Council Member Swanson moved to suspend the rules, read by title only, one time only

BUSINESS AGENDA
AB 13-14 Resolution 13-07 adopting P&Z related fees — reduction of parking in -lieu fee
Delta James, City Planner, presented Resolution 13-07 adopting Planning and Zoning related
fees — reduction of parking in -lieu fee to Council. Resolution 13-07 reduces the Central Business
District parking in -lieu fee from $20,000 per space to $7,500 per space and provides a single
point reference for other Planning and Zoning related fees (none of the others are proposed to
change).
McCall City Code 3.4.061.B provides an option for development within the Central Business
District (CBD) to fulfill off street parking space requirements by contributing an amount
specified by resolution of the council for each required space to the city's parking lot trust fund.
To date, the City has not collected any fees for CBD parking spaces omitted. The City of McCall
Downtown Parking Study & Needs Assessment Final Report (2009) recommends reducing
commercial parking requirements as an approach to promote infill and downtown development.
Staff recommends reducing the fee for parking spaces omitted in the CBD from $20,000, which
was set to reflect the approximate per -space cost of construction of structured parking to $7,500,
which approximately reflects the per -space cost of improved surface parking.

AB 13-20 Live Bull & Bronc Riding 2013 Winter Carnival Event request
McKenzie Christensen from the Chamber of Commerce presented the Live Bull & Bronc Riding
2013 Winter Carnival Event request to Council. The McCall Chamber of Commerce is requesting
to use the area behind City Hall Live Bull & Bronc 2013 Winter Carnival Event for the second
weekend of Winter Carnival, February 2, 2013. Last year the Mile Hi Bucking Bulls, a company out
of Donnelley, successfully held the event in the requested area. The same company has teamed up
with Bar X for this year's event. The event will primarily feature bull and bronco riding. The
Chamber of Commerce has worked with the Public Works Department, the Police Department, and
the Parks Department to determine which location would be optimal for their event. They will charge
$10 for each adult spectator and $5 for those under 12 years of age.
Last year the City donated approximately 80 man hours, fill dirt and the use of heavy equipment for
the event. In a letter of agreement with Frank Loomis, the City charged a fee of $200.00 plus 5% of
the net profits of the event. Mr. Loomis reported a net loss from the event therefore the only
compensation to the City was $200.00. The Chamber of Commerce is working out the details of the
event to include obtaining and moving the dirt independent of the City. Insurance will be provided
prior to the event should the Council approve the event.
Council Member Aymon expressed concern over the short timeline of the event and that the
organizers need to start earlier.
Council Member Witte stated that she preferred River Front Park and a secondary safety fence.
Mayor Bailey was in favor of a secondary fence. Mayor Bailey also stated that the organizers
must start sooner to have a longer planning time in the future.
There was a brief discussion regarding what to do should a bull get out.
Mayor Bailey summarized that he supported the event with the secondary fence and that the fee
should be the same as last year at $200.
Mayor Bailey moved to approve the Live Bull & Bronc riding event in the area behind City
Hall contingent on a signed contract to move the dirt in and out, proving a secondary fence,
and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Swanson
seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Mayor Bailey, Council Member Swanson, Council
Member Aymon, and Council Member Scott, all voted aye and Council Member Witte
voted no and the motion passed.

requested a $200 transaction fee. The lease terms remain unchanged as this is not a new lease.

4 of the McCall City Code section 4.1.14 Liquor Sales Prohibited to Council. At the November

Airport Advisory Committee
Annual Briefing to McCall City Council
January 24, 2013
2012 Highlights
• Construction of the Snow Removal Equipment Storage Building (SRE) was
completed. The new SRE will meet the airport's needs for the foreseeable
future.
• The USFS completed its new heli-base building. McCall now has a fixed wing
tanker base, a smoke jumper base, and the heli-base.
• Additional hangars continue to connect to the city sewer that was completed
last year.
• We conducted an Airport Rates and Charges review and provided
recommendations to staff for changes to airport lease rates.
• In conjunction with the above we began the process of reviewing the airport
land lease format with the intention of clarifying the intent of airport and lessee
responsibilities, especially as it relates to lease rates and lease rate changes.
• John Anderson left his position as Airport Manager toward the end of the year.
We are in the process of recruiting and hiring a new airport manager. The hiring
should be completed in February.
• The FAA required a Supplemental Environmental report to the taxiway
relocation Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) so that we can pursue
purchasing land in addition to the land necessary for the taxiway. The FAA
approved the Supplemental Environmental report in November. We have since
begun the formal FAA process to purchase the land.

2013 Planning (and beyond)
• Complete the review/update process of the airport's land lease template. In
conjunction with this revised lease rates and charges will be proposed based on
the review completed in 2012.
• Acquisition of land necessary for taxiway A relocation and additional
development land. Land is currently being appraised. Purchase will depend on
willingness of sellers, FAA funding, and funding grant match by City.
• Grant Match Requirements. Future grant matches for FAA Airport
Improvement Program (AIP) grants will be a challenge for the City. Congress
recently passed new AIP authorization legislation which changes the local grant
match from 5% to 10% of project total. Prior to the FAA reauthorization the
State of Idaho Airport Aid Program (IAAP) also contributed half of the FAA
required local match - resulting in the City's match actually being 2.5% of total
project cost. Due to the increase in funding needs as a result of the FAA
reauthorization act and a decrease in State tax revenues, the IAAP can no longer
provide half the match on behalf of cities. The IAAP will now be providing
31.5% of the match, or 3.15% of the total project. That results in a City match
of 6.85% up from 2.5%. For the City of McCall, what was a $50,000 grant
match for a $2,000,000 project is now a $137,000 grant match. While this is
unfortunate for McCall and all municipalities in Idaho, it is imperative that we
find the matching funds in order to maximize our Federal grant opportunity.
• Airport Capital Improvement Plan 2014-2018
o Relocate Taxiway "A" (2014)
o Rebuild/expand general aviation apron to replace apron lost to taxiway
relocation (remove diagonal taxiway) (2015)
o Purchase replacement medium capacity snow blower (2016)
o Update Airport Master Plan, update Airport Layout Plan, and create
Airport Sustainability Plan (2017)
o TBD (2018)
