AB 14-179 Will Serve Letters Issued for New Proposed Development Cancellation Policy
Discussion
Peter Borner presented the Will Serve Letters Issued for New Proposed Development
Cancellation Policy Discussion. He stated that as the City of McCall undertakes a new Utility
Rate Study, a key component is the Capital Improvements needed in the Water System. The need
for these Capital Improvements is based primarily on growth. He stated that during the rapid
growth period in McCall between 2003 and 2008, deficiencies became apparent in the water

systems. Growth began taxing the existing water system, especially on the west side. He stated
that a major factor that affected what improvements were necessary in the water system was
"Will Serve" letters that were issued for new proposed developments.
Mr. Borner stated that since 2008 growth has slowed significantly and a number of planned
developments were never built. He explained that these developments have for all practical
purposes lost their entitlements; however, the "Will Serve" letters did not have an expiration date
associated with them. He stated that it is the intent of Public Works to terminate "Will Serve"
letters associated with these developments. Mr. Borner clarified that with these cancellations,
capital improvements identified in the 2008 Water Master Plan Addendum, can be either scaled
back or eliminated.
Mayor Aymon led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance at 6:00 p.m.

BUSINESS AGENDA
AB 14-178 Tree Committee Annual Accomplishment Report
John Lillehaug, Member of the Tree Committee presented to Council the committee's annual
accomplishment report.
AB 14-175 Certified Local Government grant application for National Register nomination
for Payette Lake Inn and travel costs for 2015 Idaho Heritage Conference
Carol Coyle, Grant Coordinator, presented the Certified Local Government (CLG) grant
application for National Register nomination for Payette Lake Inn and travel costs for 2015
Idaho Heritage Conference. She stated that the McCall Historic Preservation Commission (HPC)
has powers, duties, and responsibilities outlined in Title II, Chapter 4 of McCall City Code,
including 2-4-110 (B). She stated that the Commission, either on its own initiative or upon the
request of the City Council, or upon the request of the owner of the property proposed to be
designated, may recommend the designation of an historic property or historic landmark.
Mrs. Coyle stated that the Commission has been working with the owner of the Payette Lake Inn
over the past year to determine a course of action regarding the preservation and rehabilitation of
the Inn. The Commission met on August 15, 2014 and voted to recommend submission of a
Certified Local Government grant to hire an architectural historian who would prepare a
nomination of the Payette Lake Inn to the National Register of Historic Places.
Mrs. Coyle stated that it is expected that the consultant cost will be approximately $3500. The
owner of the Inn will provide a portion of the project cost, and City staff time and HPC volunteer
time will be included as in -kind match.
Mrs. Coyle stated that CLG Grant funds will also be requested to assist three members of the
Commission to attend the Idaho Heritage Conference that will be held in Moscow, Idaho in
September 2015. It is expected that costs for the conference will be approximately $500 per
person to include registration, two nights lodging, mileage, and meals.
Councilor Witte moved to approve submission of a FY15 Certified Local Government
grant application for National Register nomination of the Payette Lake Inn, and for
Historic Preservation Commission conference costs and authorize the Mayor to sign all
necessary documents. Councilor Scott seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Councilor

AB 14-174 Chamber of Commerce Request to reallocate FY15 LOT funds from the ITC
Grant to Winter Carnival
BessieJo Wagner presented the Chamber of Commerce Request to reallocate FY15 LOT funds
from the ITC Grant to Winter Carnival to Council. She stated that the McCall Area Chamber of
Commerce submitted 4 applications for funding to the Local Option Tax Commission. The
applications were for 4th of July fireworks - $10,000, Winter Carnival Fireworks - $10,000, ITC
Grant Match for Advertising — $22,000, and Advertising for the 50th McCall Winter Carnival.
Priority funding was approved for the following - 4th of July fireworks - $8,000(with the
remaining $2,000 in contingency), Winter Carnival Fireworks - $8,000(with the remaining
$2,000 in contingency), and ITC Grant Match for Advertising — $22,000. The request for
Advertising for the 50th McCall Winter Carnival was recommended in contingency for $10,000.
Mrs. Wagner stated that the Chamber was awarded $18,125 for the matching ITC Grant,
therefore of the $22,000 requested the Chamber will only need $18,125. The Chamber is
requesting to re -allocate the $3,875 to either Winter Carnival Fireworks or Winter Carnival
Advertising. Considering that all 4 of the Chamber applications were fully funded either on the
priority list or the contingency list, staff is recommending that Council consider reallocating the
$3,875 to a partially funded project for FY15.
Sherry Maupin, Chamber of Commerce, addressed the Council with the request to reallocate
FY15 LOT funds. She stated that due to it being the 50th anniversary for Winter Carnival they
wanted to be able to spend those dollars on promoting the event.
Mayor Aymon stated that since it is for the 50th Anniversary they should be supported. Councilor
Giles pointed out that they had received all of what they asked for, he did not feel it was good
policy to give them additional funds to spend on projects already funded. Councilor Witte would
put the money toward any city project that is affected by tourism then that is where it should;
however since there weren't any such projects she was not opposed to it going to the Chamber.
Mayor Aymon stated that since there were other projects that have asked to reallocate funds she
did not think that the Council should deny this request. Councilor Scott was not opposed to the
reallocation to fund fireworks. Councilor Giles would like the money to go to fund a wood stove
for the Senior Center. After much discussion the Council consensus was to grant the request.
Councilor Scott moved to re -allocate the $3,875 from the Chamber's ITC Grant request to
fund Winter Carnival Fireworks. Councilor Witte seconded the motion. In a roll call vote
Councilor Scott, Councilor Witte, and Mayor Aymon all voted aye, Councilor Giles voted
no, and the motion carried.
AB 14-180 Hangars 601 — 608 Water and Sewer Utility Improvements - Notice to Award a

Nathan Coyle, Airport Manager, presented Hangars 601 — 608 Water and Sewer Utility
Improvements - Notice to Award a Construction Contract to Council. He stated this project
McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 5 of 7
September 25, 2014
consists of the replacement of existing and installation of new water and sewer services for
Hangars 601 — 608 at the McCall Airport. Specifically, the work will include:
1. Pump out cleaning and removal, filling and disposal of existing septic holding tanks.
2. Installation of new 4-inch sewer service piping for all hangars with existing sewer
services and the installation of new sewer service stubs for hangars that may need sewer
connections in the future.
3. Installation of 3/4-inch water meter pits and service lines so that each hanger has a separate
water service line and water meter.
4. Removal/abandonment of all existing water and sewer service piping.
Because the cost for this project is estimated in excess of $25,000, an "informal" bidding
procedure was conducted. All bids were opened on September 25, 2014.
Councilor Witte moved to authorize staff to issue a "Notice to Award a Construction
Contract" to the P&M Excavation II for the project, and authorize the Mayor to sign all
contract documents. Councilor Scott seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Mayor
Aymon, Councilor Giles, Councilor Scott, and Councilor Witte all voted aye and the
motion carried.
AB 14-176 Request to Declare Surplus Property — Resolutionl4-14
BessieJo Wagner, City Clerk, presented the Request to Declare Surplus Property — Resolutionl4-
14. She stated that Idaho Code §67-5732A allows for the disposal of surplus personal property,
provided that when sales will be offered to the public and sold to the highest responsible bidder,
notice of such sale shall be published in the newspaper for at least two (2) weeks prior to such
