WORK SESSION
1
AB 16-44 Recommended Modifications to the McCall Drainage Management Guidelines:
First Flush Treatment and Storm Size Criteria
Presented by Nathan Stewart, City Engineer. The City of McCall's Drainage Management
Guidelines (DMGs) were published in 1997 and outline the design requirements for designing
stormwater management facilities within the City and the Impact Area. However, specific
criteria including requirements for first flush water quality treatment and defined storm sizes (10,

25, and 100 year events) have been questioned and criticized for their appropriateness and
accuracy. Technology and science are reshaping the ways in which stormwater is managed and
regulations are enforced. Therefore Mr. Stewart feels that it is an appropriate time to review and
revise the stormwater regulations, and he recommends a complete revision of the City's drainage
management guidelines (DMGs). In an effort to make incremental progress, staff has completed
a comparison the current DMG criteria to similar requirements defined by other agencies (Valley
County, IDEQ, and EPA). Also a current record of historical precipitation data, to include years
1997 through 2015, has been collected and analyzed to determine if storm sizes defined in the
current DMGs warrant adjustment.
The City Engineer presented a memorandum that thoroughly discussed this issue and provided
staff recommendations for alternative design criteria for the Council's consideration. This was
presented to the Big Payette Lake Water Quality Council (former WAG) on December 18, 2016.
Tonight the Council also heard public comment regarding this issue and staffs proposed
recommendations.
Brian Davis from the Big Payette Lake Water Quality Council commended Nathan Stewart's
efforts. He noted that there has been an increase in impervious surfaces around the lake, making
the standard much more critical, and with the correct guidelines perhaps smaller, more accurate
systems can be built instead of larger ones.
Mayor Aymon called for public comment related to the Drainage Management Guidelines
at 6:03 p.m.
Sean Gould, member of the Environmental Advisory Committee, commented that informally the
EAC members are amenable and he personally endorses the plan. Mr. Gould stated that he would
like to see it used in a probationary four-year period to see if water quality remains the same or
improves and revisit the standard if necessary.
Greg Tankersley of Crestline Engineers thanked Mr. Stewart and Council for taking on this
project and supports their efforts.
Hearing no further comments, Mayor Aymon closed the public comment period at 6:07
p.m.
Mr. Stewart would like to approach the County Commissioners next, and eventually he would
like to revise the entire Drainage Management Guidelines if funding for the extra work becomes
available.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Mayor Aymon called for public comment at 6:10 p.m.
Hearing no comments, Mayor Aymon closed the comment period at 6:10 p.m.

AB 16-46 Proclaim March 4, 2016 as Idaho Day
Presented by Lisa Kundrick, Deputy City Clerk. The Idaho Legislature has established March 4

AB 16-53 Draft Capital Asset Management Policy
Nate Coyle, City Manager, presented a draft of the Capital Asset Management Policy. This has
been developed with assistance from Linda Stokes, Treasurer, and Dennis Coyle, Parks and
Recreation Director. The purpose was to develop a tool to help forecast the City's capital needs
over a period of several years. The policy defines a capital asset as something that may cost more
than $10,000 to attain. It also defines a capital improvement project as something that
collectively may cost more than $25,000 to complete the project. The policy describes how the
capital improvement planning process takes place and criteria that are used to determine what
follows this plan. Council reviewed the draft policy and asked questions with some input. City
Manager Coyle will bring back a revised policy for further review and approval.
AB 16-54 Request for Approval of Memorandum of Understanding with Idaho State Parks
and Recreation (IDPR) Regarding 4th of July
Nate Coyle, City Manager, provided an update to continued planning efforts related to the Fourth
of July event. During the IDPR Board Meeting on February 11, Idaho State Parks and Recreation
requested that the City of McCall identify its intent to collaborate on 4th of July changes in
McCall City Parks within a Memorandum of Understanding. The city has drafted the MOU for
consideration of the Council which has been reviewed and accepted by IDPR staff members.
Once signed by both parties, IDPR will continue forward with its intent to ban alcohol on North
Beach in/around the 4th of July. If the MOU is approved tonight, City Manager Coyle will bring
back a resolution for official approval by Council.
In related news, Erin Greaves, Communications Manager, has been working with the nonprofit
community to ask for interest in scheduling events downtown during the July 4th celebration.
There is an extended invitation to the Chamber to join in the meeting. The goal is to plan family
friendly events in the downtown area. The City is working with IDPR to make sure both groups
are sending the same message. The media trail has been watched closely. The media plan is
being developed to launch in March. The intent is to promote positive events.
Council Member Giles motioned to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between
the City of McCall and Idaho State Parks and Recreation regarding collaboration for the
4th of July planning actions, and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
Council Member Witte seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Giles,
Council Member Witte, Mayor Aymon, and Council Member Swanson all voted aye and
the motion carried.
AB 16-43 Addendum to Skateboard Park Lease Agreement with McCall Donnelly School
District
Presented by Dennis Coyle, Parks and Recreation Director. The City would like to build a
mountain bike skills park at the same site of the skate park at the High School. This would
require an addendum to the lease agreement that exists for the skateboard park. The lease is now
with the school district attorneys and awaiting reply. This needs to be approved by next week to
meet IDPR grant requirements. Mr. Dennis Coyle would like to proceed by having Council sign
the addendum to the lease and submit it to the granting agency. The School District has already
approved but they are awaiting approval from the attorneys.

February 25, 2016
Council Member Swanson moved to approve the addendum to the McCall Donnelly
Skateboard Park lease agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign any necessary
documents. Council Member Giles seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member
Swanson, Council Member Giles, Mayor Aymon, and Council Member Witte all voted aye
and the motion carried.
AB 16-48 Request to Approve Resolution 16-07 to Adopt the Imposition of Load Limits
and Rates of Speed
Presented by Peter Borner, Public Works Director. Mr. Borner explained that during winter
months, the moisture found in the material below a road's surface freezes. This frozen zone
begins to thaw from the surface down, at varying rates. The moisture released by the thawing
ground gets trapped near the surface between the pavement and frozen soil below. Heavy
equipment and trucks can create a "pumping" effect on the trapped moisture layer, causing it to
form ripples that can rupture the pavement and severely damage the roadway and significantly
decrease its lifespan.
The times when roads are most susceptible to damage are based on current conditions
(temperature and moisture content) and not a calendar. Therefore Public Works staff would like
to be granted the authority to post road restrictions when and where needed according to
conditions. Mr. Borner pointed out that signs have been posted in the past but they did not really
have the authority to do so. This allows Public Works staff to make that decision and place the
signs as needed. Mr. Borner added that this would only occur for short periods of time during the
spring breakup season.
Council Member Giles moved to approve Resolution 16-07 allowing the Public Works
director for the City of McCall, Idaho to impose load limits and rates of speed on any
highway section or street within the City's jurisdiction by making regulations reducing
permissible sizes, weights, or speeds of vehicles operated thereon for any periods necessary
for the protection of such highway section, street, or for public safety; providing for signs
designating such regulations and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
Council Member Swanson seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Giles,
Council Member Swanson, Mayor Aymon, and Council Member Witte all voted aye and
the motion carried.
AB 16-52 Wastewater Options Update
Peter Borner, Public Works Director, gave an update on sewer options. City staff is working
closely with PLRWSD staff members to initiate a rate study in March of 2016. As mentioned in
the previous presentation, this rate study will analyze City rates, PLRWSD rates, and also
consider a consolidated rate for potential consolidation of these agencies. PLRWSD has been
able to produce a scope of work. The City has reviewed it, comments have been given back to
PLWSR, and adjustments will be made. Other cities' rate studies and proposed costs have been
looked at and are being evaluated. JUB Engineers and PLWSR and the City have been reviewing
low interest loan opportunities. IDEQ has a revolving loan fund and also there are opportunities
with the USDA Rural Development Loan Program. A bond could also potentially be done. The
work is ongoing.
City Manager Coyle added there is some information for review but DEQ needs more
information to determine loan eligibility. The scope of work for the rate analysis for the City and
the District and a proposed rate for a combined design would be $67,000 just for sewer in the

proposed draft. Probably half of that would be the City's share. Mr. Coyle is trying to determine
the City's share of that cost. The timeline, if the process kicks off in March, is that this might be
done in October 2016. Presentations would be joint between the City and the District.
SPF Water is still on target to complete its analysis by the end of February which will consider
WWTP improvements along with a comparison of the total cost for reuse as compared to other
options. These include on site WWTP, conveyance, storage, and disposal options. Capital costs
estimates for these options will be provided in the final report.
Public Works staff met with SPF Water on February 23rd to review all of the work done to date.
It is expected that SPF Water will conclude their work by the end of February and that they will
provide the results of its analysis in person to the Council at the March 10th meeting. It is also
anticipated that a contract for services to conduct a rate study will be prepared and ready for City
Council review and action in early March. A March kick-off for the rate study will align itself
well to the report and determination made with information from the SPF Water report.
Upcoming Meetings Schedule Discussion
Council discussed upcoming meetings. The resolution to Ban Alcohol in City Parks for the
Fourth of July will be scheduled for the March 10 meeting. Council will need to add a special
Friday work session for a meeting with SPF Water Engineers (March 24 and 25 will not work) --
perhaps March 11 or 18.
Warrant Registers
Staff presented the Warrant Registers for approval.
Council Member Swanson moved to approve the Warrant Registers as submitted. Council
Member Witte seconded the motion. In a voice vote all members voted aye and the motion
carried.
