PUBLIC HEARING
AB 13-94 Zoning Ordinance Amendment: Sign design review process
Delta James, City Planner, presented the Zoning Ordinance Amendment: Sign design review
process. The McCall Area Comprehensive Plan includes an objective that states "Assistance to
existing and new businesses is one of the highest priority actions the City can take to protect and
nurture the economic base." Ms. James stated that staff recommended this ordinance as a way to
support new and existing businesses by providing a reduced timeline for sign design review.
Currently, the review timeline for sign design applications by the McCall Area Planning and
Zoning Commission takes a minimum of three weeks. Staff administrative review of sign
applications would reduce this timeline to approximately one week or less, depending on staff
work load. The McCall Area Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended the
zoning ordinance amendment for approval.
Mayor Bailey opened the public hearing for a Zoning Ordinance Amendment: Sign design
review process at 6:08 pm.
Hearing none, Mayor Bailey closed the public hearing for a Zoning Ordinance
Amendment: Sign design review process.

County, Idaho Amending McCall City Code Title 3 Chapter 9 Section 9, Sign Permits And Fees

application fee for signs 15 sq. ft. or less and establishment of a fee for
amendments to development agreements
Delta James, City Planner, presented 13-95 Resolution 13-11 adopting P&Z related fees —

June 13, 2013
sign design review fee for signs 15 sq. ft. in size or less from $150 to $50 and establishes a $500
fee for amendments to development agreements.
Ms. James explained that the intent of the reduction in sign design review fees for small signs
was to better align the application review fee for small signs with the cost of fabricating smaller
signs and the staff s review time. Hopefully, the fee schedule will provide an incentive for
businesses to utilize smaller signs.
Ms. James explained that the intent of the establishment of a fee for amendments to development
agreements is to compensate for the cost of staff time associated with the negotiation, review,
and approval process for development agreement amendments.

sign design review application fee for signs 15 sq. ft. or less and the establishment of a fee

AB 13-105 Waste Management Code Amendments - Six Ordinances for review and
possible adoption
In accord with the instructions given at the last council meeting the City Attorney prepared six
different ordinances to revise the mandatory cart rental, allow the purchase of carts, and change
the penalty provision to allow an offender to avoid penalties by subscribing to the service.
1. The first draft changes 5.08.05 as requested in the drafts of Mayor Bailey and Council
Member Swanson. The second has the City Attorney edits to those changes.
2. The third ordinance is a new 5.08.06 that allows for purchase and is Council Member
Swanson's draft. The fourth has the City Attorney edits to that new section.
3. The fifth ordinance is the revised penalty section as Council Member Swanson drafted it
except for two things. The City Attorney changed the fine back to $300 based on other
comments at the meeting, and, it is not a revision to 5.08.07 because that section in Ordinance
McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 6 of 12
June 13, 2013
912 was not a penalty section (that had been 5.08.06) and so instead the City Attorney made it a
new 5.08.08. The sixth ordinance is the City Attorney edits to Council Member Swanson's
language.
Mayor Bailey presented a seventh ordinance for consideration. Mayor Bailey stated that the
presented ordinances should be considered in the order of which they had been submitted. He
stated that the seventh ordinance was actually the first to have been submitted and that Ordinance
#1 was an amendment to the original that he had submitted.
Council Member Swanson stated that he, as the sponsor of Ordinance #5, agreed with the
recommended changes by Bill Nichols, City Attorney, so Ordinance #6 should be considered;
however, Ordinance #5 should not. Council Member Swanson also clarified that the same logic
applies to Ordinance #3, stating that Ordinance #4 should be considered and not Ordinance #3.
He also clarified that the only Ordinance that did not have a purchase option for containers was
Ordinance #7.
Mayor Bailey stated that it was his intention to proceed by voting on Ordinance #7. He continued
by stating that all of the other amendments revised the same paragraph slightly. Mayor Bailey
also stated that it was his understanding that the Council should first adopt Ordinance #7 and
then consider the other Ordinances which would amend Ordinance #7.
Council Member Witte had clarified that the submitted rate schedule from Lake Shore reflected
the prices of services if the amendments are accepted. There was a brief discussion as to the
affected rate schedule should the Council choose to allow Lake Shore customers to purchase
their own containers.
Mayor Bailey stated that there had been sufficient discussion.
Mayor Bailey moved to adopt Ordinance #7.
There was some confusion as to the process of considering each of the presented ordinances. Bill
Nichols suggested that the motion be whether to assign an ordinance number to draft Ordinance
#7. If the Council voted to assign a number then they could proceed to read the ordinance and
continue the process. If the Council chooses not to vote to assign a number to the draft Ordinance
#7 then it would not be considered and the Council would move onto the next draft.
It was Mayor Bailey's understanding that each of the draft ordinances, were amendments and not
stand alone ordinances, and that the Council would work through each amendment and then
whichever one survived would then become the ordinance.
Council Member Scott stated that it would then be either #7 or #2, and possibly #4 and #6 for
clarity.
Mr. Nichols clarified that he was trying to present a process that would assist the Council in
deciding which ordinance they would vote on so that ordinance numbers would not be assigned
and then the ordinance motion to adopt would fail and then a new number would need to be
assigned.
Mayor Bailey moved to amend his original motion to adopt Ordinance 915.
McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 7 of 12

There continued to be confusion as to the process. After further clarification Mayor Bailey
withdrew his motion and made the following motion.
Mayor Bailey moved to adopt the amendment to section 5.08.05, draft ordinance #7. The
motion did not receive a second so the motion failed.
Council Member Witte commented that many members of the public wished to have the
purchase option for their container. There was a brief discussion as to the wording and
requirement that the purchase option would need to be an approved container.
Council Member Scott moved that the Council put forth draft #2 as an amendment to
Ordinance 912. Council Member Swanson seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council
Member Scott, Council Member Swanson, and Council Member Witte all voted aye,
Council Member Aymon and Mayor Bailey voted No and the motion passed.

AB 13-107 Discussion about a Local Improvement District (LID) on Third Street
Mayor Bailey requested a discussion about the idea of a LID to continue street improvements
from Colorado Street south on Third Street, similar to the Third Street Improvement Project
underway. A memo from Mayor Bailey outlining his timeline to direct staff to commence the
LID process as required by State Statute was distributed to the Council.
Mayor Bailey presented the history of events that prompted this item to come before Council,
stating that the work that needed to be done on Woody Woodworth's project and Mr.
Woodworth stating that he did not have the funding to complete his project. Mayor Bailey then
described the process of developing an LID and the possible costs to the City. Mayor Bailey
presented the properties next to and adjacent to Mr. Woodworth's property that may be used for
the LID. He posed the question as to whether the Council would be interested in proceeding with
the LID process. He also noted that there would be costs to the City upfront. Mayor Bailey
commented on the bonding process and the current interest rates. He also stated that the process
would not relieve the property owner of their obligation to do the project it only assist with the
funding being paid over time. Mayor Bailey stated his question again to the Council as to
whether to start the process. He also stated that he would be willing to assist with the process.
Council Member Aymon wanted to know from the staff their position on starting such a project.
Michelle Groenevelt, Community Development Director, stated that from a staff perspective, the
time associated with this process, design and project management is significant and complex.
She also stated that staff would like the opportunity to evaluate the Third Street Project and how
much time staff allocated to the project and what that work looked like. She stated that would
give a good indicator as to the cost of doing a large project. Michelle Groenevelt also stated that
staff would need to plan to modify existing work plans and allocate staff resources if the Council
identified this project as the top priority.
Michelle Groenevelt also pointed out that if this project rises above those projects identified in
the Capital Improvement Plan, staff recommends the affected property owners should be
engaged in the conversation prior to embarking with the legal requirement even though LIDs can
be imposed without property owners' consent. It should be noted that there are a few property
owners who have conceptually supported the concept of a LID and several others who have
expressed opposition to the idea.
Michelle Groenevelt also noted that while the LID is one tool for funding capital projects, the
City Manager is working with a PHD Student from the Public Administration department at BSU
who will identify and present to the Council all of the funding tools available to accomplish
capital projects. Gene Drabinski, City Manager, presented the prospect of working with the
student from BSU, Cameron Ariel, on the Capital Improvement plan to include funding
opportunities.
Mayor Bailey stated that the LID process did not require a public hearing or even approval from
the property owners. The purpose is that property owners could share cost to improve their
property.
There was no direction to staff by Council.

AB 13-108 Discussion and Direction Regarding Funding for Capital Improvements
It has been identified that there are significant capital improvement projects the need to be done
in the City of McCall. Mayor Bailey requested that the Council engage in a discussion regarding
the funding opportunities for Capital Improvements, including street repairs and paving,
sidewalks, new buildings, etc. Raising the property tax by 3% each year seems to barely keep up
with inflation and perhaps fund a few small projects. Mayor Bailey proposed two alternative
paths available for the City to raise revenue sufficient to fund the various and many capital
needs. One path to present to the voters was a proposal for the approval of a general obligation
bond. Another is to present to the voters another type of Local Option Tax funding with an
increase in sales tax. It was proposed to seriously consider either of the two methods described
and present at least one to the voters at the November election. Mayor Bailey gave a brief
explanation of each funding option. He spoke of what he thought were pros and cons and in his
opinion the best option to consider was the Local Option Sales Tax.
There was no Council discussion or direction.
