WORK SESSION AB 17-270 3% Resort Local Option Tax Renewal Work Session with the LOT Commission City Attorney Bill Gigray began the 3% Resort Local Option Tax (LOT) Renewal Work Session with a brief history of Idaho State 1978 tax and explained the intent of the LOT in McCall. After collecting information from surveys and direction from previous Council work sessions, staff has incorporated those items into recommended changes to the Occupancy Local Option Tax Ordinance. Next steps are to review the allowable uses, discuss the decision making guidelines for the Commission and Council, and review the structure of the Community Meeting set for January 17, 2018. The Council wrestled with what constitutes a public purpose and had a lengthy discussion. City Attorney Gigray explained in some detail what a public purpose would look like, and recommended the application process should list what the basic requirements are so when an applicant asks for funding the request will fit the criteria of a public purpose. Council Member Witte and Mayor Aymon both made suggestions to better define line D in the ordinance. Lisa Wood and Phillip Roth of the LOT Commission went over how the selection process has operated in the past and shared thoughts of what the structure should look like. Ms. Wood felt the McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 2 of 12 November 30, 2017 current system has been working well and has been a good representation of the City in the applications. City Manager Wagner explained that if there is set criteria that acts as guidelines to those applying for funds, and it would channel certain types of projects to the top. She would like to see a scoring matrix to help the LOT Commission with the selection process. Council Member Nielsen wanted to make sure the community projects do not get pushed out in the scoring matrix. The Council discussed housing language, ADA compliancy, and funds going to outside entities. City Attorney Gigray made the suggestion to create a contract between government entities rather than the private entity in cases such as the Snowmobile Club. A defining question needs to be added to the application to explain what the City is getting back as a service from them receiving the LOT funds. There was more discussion regarding the community meeting, the ballot question, and attorney review of the application and contract. Council Member Nielsen wanted to stress that it is very important to educate the public on who is paying for the tax, the changes that will be implemented, and to help applicants figure out how to apply for funds with the structural changes to the ordinance. PUBLIC COMMENT Mayor Aymon called for public comment at 6:40 p.m. Attorney Bill Gigray of White Peterson spoke on a legislation issue that is being proposed which will affect the validation statute regarding road disputes. Currently, if the city is not named in the validation statute then who will have jurisdiction the language becomes an issue. It needs to be amended to include cities and he has asked Association of Idaho Cities to investigate and amend the judicial review law. The next item he spoke to was impact fees. The City of McCall does not have impact fees but could have in the future. The impact fee law with its definition for capital improvement and system improvement costs, in his opinion, does not support the use of impact fees for equipment only for real property. His firm and the Idaho Fire Commissioner's Association is pursuing an amendment to add equipment to the definitions so it is clear impact fees monies can be used to buy equipment and not just make improvement to property. Hearing no comments, Mayor Aymon closed the comment period at 6:46 p.m. AB 17-257 Request to Approve Resolution 17-26 to Adopt the McCall Area Comprehensive Plan Update Mayor Aymon opened the public hearing at 6:47 p.m. Bruce Meighen and Krissy Gilmore of Logan Simpson joined via skype at 6:49 p.m. Community & Economic Development (CED) Director Michelle Groenevelt introduced the Logan Simpson team and gave a short introduction. Bruce Meighen of Logan Simpson presented the McCall City Council Regular Meeting November 30, 2017 Page 3of12 McCall In Motion (MnM), and gave a brief explanation of the how this document works with the McCall Area Comprehensive Plan Update and Transportation Master Plan. The MnM included an extensive public involvement process over the last 20 months, and the McCall Area Planning and Zoning held a public hearing on November 7, 2017 who unanimously recommended the McCall Area Comprehensive Plan for adoption. Mr. Meighen went over the objectives, the process, how the plan was presented to the public, and the vision. He covered the highlights of the plan: lake access, connectedness through pathways/roadways, balanced economy, green/sustainable community, preserved character, local housing, place -making by creating unique places, streetscapes, civic and cultural activities, and development process/code. He brought up the importance of supporting downtown and controlling urban sprawl with a compact growth area with a boundary. The Annexation Plan portion of the MnM is not necessarily about implementation but more to promote discussion. He talked about the character of the City, the economy, having connections through a complete streets policy. CED Director Groenevelt gave a report on the Planning & Zoning public hearing and discussed the written comments given by the public. She clarified the plan does not mean an annexation will take place and there has been an effort by CED to clean up boundary areas where properties straddle both the impact area and Valley County to save property owners from having to go through both the City and the County for permitting. Mayor Aymon spoke on the Our Vision portion and felt the public agencies needed to be added. Mayor Aymon opened the floor to receive public comment at 7:15 p.m. Bill Sifford, 901 2nd Street, had a question about the 7-year road plan and Public Works Director Nathan Stewart will provide him with the documents. The written comments received are: Boise Best Skin Care, Barb Rawlings, Boise Ronald N. Graves, Boise Don Bailey, McCall Mike Simplot, McCall Dan Krahn, McCall Wayne Meuleman, Boise Bill Tracy, McCall Council Member Nielsen expressed concern about the code revisions not coming before the McCall Area Comprehensive Plan, felt it had been promoted well enough, and pointed out some of the attendance numbers were conflicting. Because of his concerns, he did not feel comfortable with giving approval. Staff and the consultants addressed his concerns regarding the code revision by explaining that typically these plans and code revisions are processed separately from one another. However, because the comprehensive plan is a guiding document, it was more important to approve it first. As for the conflicting numbers, Krissy Gilmore of Logan Simpson explained she needed to clean up the document because she realized she had not taken in consideration outside events outreach efforts on some of it. McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 4 of 12 November 30, 2017 CED Director Groenevelt spoke to the promotion concern explaining that what was done with the public outreach efforts was unprecedented. She shared that staff conducted phone interviews with homeowners, posters were posted around town, put out surveys, multiple postings on social media, conducted community meetings, and set staff going out into the public and businesses owners. The decision was also made to break down the plan into sections and put in a readable magazine format to make it easier for the public to digest. At this point, she feels the City has reached a saturation point with public promotion but she welcomed the Council to postpone approval of the plan if they would continue to promote it to their constituents own their own. Council Member Nielsen also expressed concern about the proposed Urban Renewal District boundaries being included in the plan. He felt it was inappropriate and should be removed. CED Director Groenevelt explained the rationale behind including it, stating that it was included due to the strong desire of getting the waterfront connected which is the one section of the existing plan that has not been implemented, and there is no dedicated funding source for centralized public parking within the downtown core. Another reason behind the proposed boundaries is the City is about to make a $6 million investment in that area which will affect property values so it is important to get the Urban Renewal District in place before those properties are affected and before more development happens. However, she reminded the Council that any decisions about an Urban Renewal District are made through the Council. She went on to explain more about the bonding process and working with the McCall Redevelopment Agency. Council Member Giles was not concerned with a map of a future Urban Renewal District in the plan because it does state that it is a proposed district. Council Member Sowers and Council Member Witte both suggested the language be softened regarding the new district and be less definitive. Mayor Aymon liked having an action plan and a roadmap to get there. CED Director Groenevelt will add a disclaimer language to the document and suggested an annual review so Council can give direction as needed on the projects as they come up. This will insure staff is following the priorities of the Council and the community, and at the same time not allowing the plan to stagnate. The Council and staff briefly discussed the misunderstanding regarding the annexation piece which was based mostly on an editorial in the newspaper. The annexation of property in the plan is not binding and the City does not have the intent nor can it force annexation without landowner consent. Council Member Giles did not have any issue with the code revision coming later and was comfortable with what staff has presented but also felt it was not an issue if the document approval was postponed for a couple of months to resolve some of the concerns. Council Member Holmes felt all of her questions had been answered but she did not want to approve the document until the final clean copy is available. City Attorney Bill Gigray reminded the Council that the comprehensive plan is primarily the driving instrument for the land use regulations, therefore the zoning ordinances have to comply with the comprehensive plan. So basically, if this plan is not adopted, the current comprehensive plan will drive any zoning regulations. The City already has a comprehensive plan in place and this is only an update. Because the update has gone through Planning and Zoning, any material McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 5 of 12 November 30, 2017 changes will require another public hearing to be posted. If only editorial changes are made, the public hearing could be continued until a later date. From what he could discern from the discussion tonight, continuing the hearing seems the most likely option. He recommended they have a motion to recess and reconvene the public hearing to a future date. Council Member Nielsen expressed concern that the plan was too downtown centric and with the City campus in the downtown core, it directs a lot of traffic into the area. Mr. Meighen responded stating that the current downtown focus is being driven by the public comments, previous comprehensive plans, economic return, and the public emotional attachment to vibrant downtowns. Council Member Holmes moved to recess the public hearing and reconvene on December 28, 2017 at the Council Meeting at 6:00 or as soon thereafter it may be heard. Council Member Giles seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Holmes, Council Member Giles, Mayor Aymon, Council Member Nielsen, and Council Member Witte all voted aye and the motion carried. AB 17-266 Request to Approve Resolution 17-27 to Adopt the McCall Area Transportation Master Plan Mayor Aymon opened the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. Kip Davidson of Horrocks Engineering joined via phone. Public Works Director Nathan Stewart presented the McCall Area Transportation Master Plan (TMP). McCall In Motion (MnM), the name and process for the McCall Area Comprehensive Plan Update and Transportation Master Plan, has had an extensive public involvement process over the last 20 months. The McCall Area Planning and Zoning held a public hearing on November 7, 2017 and unanimously recommended the McCall Area Transportation Master Plan for adoption. Krissy Gilmore of Logan Simpson led the presentation by giving a brief overview of the different parts of the TMP and sharing the vision and purpose. Next, she discussed the transit service routes, parking demand, and pedestrian network gaps. Public Works Director Stewart clarified the street examples were given a large amount of room for flexibility for all the different roadways within the City. Kip Davidson of Horrocks Engineering discussed the condition of paved roads and explained the remaining service life rating grid for both the east and west side of the city. In 2011, the City did an evaluation of the average service life of its roads which averaged 12.8 years of life. Another evaluation was done in 2013 and 2016 where in the last evaluation the roads had degraded to 10.0 years of life. The most cost effective range for roadways for maintenance is between 8-14 years. Ms. Gilmore covered recommended project and implementation. She also covered policies, typical street section examples, streetscape infrastructure maintenance and funding for snow removal and landscaping. Also presented was the parking management plan, the transit service plan, and Public Works facility capacity and needs analysis, and infrastructure improvements along 3rd Street between Colorado St and Deinhard Lane analysis (money not slated at this time because it is owned by the State). She covered several road projects and proposed an updated pathways plan. McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 6 of 12 November 30, 2017 Mr. Davidson summarized the highlights of the 10-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) & Maintenance Improvement (MIP) Plan, and gave a brief budgetary overview of the Street Local Option Tax. He touched on some of the CIP 2017-2026 projects and future projected timeline. Director Stewart felt it is important to be transparent about the projects and related costs, and explained the annual improvement spending summary which is effected by grants and outside influences. The presentation was wrapped up by discussing the CIP & MIP future project goals for the coming year. Council Member Nielsen expressed concern about the downtown parking and congestion, and wanted to know the flexibility of the timeline for project implementation. Staff explained the plan covers a satellite parking network and is built to be flexible to what is needed so, even though project(s) are priced out with all amenities, it leaves it open to choose which amenities to implement. But if an issue arises in an area that is farther down the list, the City has responsibility to examine cost efficiency of doing the project sooner and to follow the rules laid out by the City's ordinances. Council Member Holmes wanted to know why snow removal is better during Winter Carnival than over the rest of the season, and if there has been discussions with Midas Gold about using Deinhard and Boydstun as a bypass for trucks. Public Works Director Stewart explained during the Carnival event, the streets are being widened and snow being delivered for sculptures. During the rest of the season, it depends on everything going on at the time a storm hits. When it is snowing, the main focus is to clear the roads and come back later to widen them. The Council can give direction if they would like to see this change or if some new policies need to be implemented. There has been some discussion with Midas Gold about making improvements to the intersections and some of the difficulties their trucks will have navigating the corners. The goal is to continue those discussions with Midas Gold because it will be important for them to mitigate those costs. Another issue is the City does not have the staff or the equipment to provide 24/7 snow removal for those roads if it becomes a major thoroughfare. There has been some discussion with the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) about swapping roads to let the City take care of the highway through town and ITD take care of Deinhard and Boydstun. A written correspondence from Dan Krahn was received. No public comments were given so Mayor Aymon closed the public hearing at 9:18 p.m. Council Member Witte moved to approve Resolution 17-27 to adopt the McCall Area Transportation Plan and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary agreements. Council Member Giles seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Witte, Council Member Giles, Mayor Aymon, Council Member Holmes, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye and the motion carried. BUSINESS AGENDA AB 17-261 Historic Preservation Commission Annual Report for 2017 Gary Thompson, Chairman of the Historical Preservation Commission (HPC) presented the annual report for 2017. The HPC is responsible for conducting a survey of local historic properties and McCall City Council Regular Meeting November 30, 2017 Page 7 of 12 recommending methods necessary to preserve, maintain and restore historic properties. The Commission also conducts educational and interpretive programs and reviews nominations of properties to the National Register of Historic Places. Mr. Thompson shared the work done for Lardo Bridge, and the completion of the Historical DVD project. The DVD will be put out for public viewing online and given to the schools but will not be for sale. The 2018 project is the Pioneer Hangar at the airport. Because of the amount of original structure still in place, it will be one of the few hangars still in its original condition in Idaho. The HPC has come up with a McCall Historical Recognition program to recognize the residential and commercial places that do not meet the National registers requirements but still have historical significance. Lastly, there is an opening on the HPC board. AB 17-262 Request to Approve the Juvenile Detention Center Lease with Valley County Police Chief Justin Williams presented the Juvenile Detention Center Lease with Valley County. Valley County closed the Juvenile Detention Center in McCall, Idaho, and previous City Manager Nathan Coyle was contacted by Valley County Commissioner Gordon Cruickshank regarding the possibility of a lease agreement and the relocation the McCall Police Department to the facility located at 550 E Deinhard Lane. Nathan Coyle received Council approval to proceed with the Lease Agreement negotiations and the relocation of the McCall Police Department. McCall Police Chief, Justin Williams, met with Valley Commissioners on November 13, 2017. The Commissioners and Chief Williams agreed to $2,700 per month (.84 cents/sqft). The total amount per year for the lease of the Juvenile Detention Center will be $32,400.00. According to the lease agreement, the City of McCall would take possession of the facility January 1, 2018. City Treasurer Linda Stokes explained where the funds will come from to pay for the lease. Staff answered the Council's questions. Council Member Holmes would like to see the parking lot added to the contract to be County maintained. Council Member Witte wanted clarity for the annual renewal spelled out a little better in the contract. The Council struggled through some of the funding sources and discussed it at length with staff. Council Member Witte moved to approve the terms of the lease of the Juvenile Detention Center and approve the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Nielsen seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Witte, Council Member Nielsen, Mayor Aymon, Council Member Giles, and Council Member Holmes all voted aye and the motion carried. AB 17-259 Request to Approve Grant Agreement from Idaho Division of Aeronautics and Adoption of Resolution 17-24 for Airport Parking Ramp Airport Manager Jay Scherer presented the Grant Agreement from Idaho Division of Aeronautics and Adoption of Resolution 17-24 for Airport Parking Ramp. The Grant Agreement Program Number: F188MYL and City Resolution are part of the grant match required by FAA Airport Improvement Program AIP-023 which reconstructs a portion of the airport parking ramp. The grant is for 5% of allowable project costs not to exceed $69,488.72. The City portion of the grant match is expected to also be $69,488.72. Council Member Giles moved to approve the Grant Agreement with Idaho Transportation Department Division of Aeronautics. Council Member Witte seconded the motion. In a roll McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 8 of 12 November 30, 2017 call vote Council Member Giles, Council Member Witte, Mayor Aymon, Council Member Holmes, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye and the motion carried. Council Member Witte moved to read in full and adopt Resolution 17-24 authorizing the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Holmes seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Witte, Council Member Holmes, Mayor Aymon, Council Member Giles, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye and the motion carried. AB 17-260 Golf Course Fees Discussion Golf Superintendent Eric McCormick presented the golf course fees discussion. Each year there is an annual review of the golf course fees to determine if an increase is necessary. The Golf Course Advisory Committee (GCAC) has reviewed the current fee schedule for the FY18 season and have recommended to make no adjustments. In the past, Council has expressed the desire to increase golf rates based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to make a small adjustment each year instead of a large adjustment every few years. Staff has compared the fees with the other golf courses in the area and feel that greens fees are comparable. However, there is room for an increase to the season pass fee as Jug Mountain has a limited number of passes and Meadow Creek has a much higher fee. Another item brought up since the last GCAC meeting is the age restriction for a full time college student. The current pass is for a full time student 22 years of age and younger. Since a person of any age after high school can attend college, it seems reasonable to completely eliminate the age limit with some restriction on how many hours equals a full time student. There have also been requests for an Active Military discount. Staff requests the Council's input on these three items. Council Member Giles felt with the rising costs of salaries and health costs, it is prudent to raise the fees, and would like to apply the CPI to all the fees. The current CPI is 2.9%. After some discussion, the Council advised staff to run the numbers with the CPI, up the college age to 26 years, and directed staff to come back with more information about a military discount. AB 17-254 Request to Approve the Deferred Infrastructure Agreement for 324 W. Lake Street Community & Economic Development Director Michelle Groenevelt presented the deferred infrastructure agreement for 324 W. Lake Street. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP-10-02) was approved on May 27, 2010 with conditions of approval for the property located at 324 W. Lake Street (formerly the Alpine Pantry). Over the past 7 years, staff worked extensively to try to get the business owner, Gabriela Hess, to complete the project. Now the business owner who has the CUP is also the property owner and is leasing the space to a new business. Since there is still outstanding conditions, a Deferred Infrastructure Agreement with the associated financial guarantees was developed to ensure the improvements are completed by October 1, 2018. This allows the new business to open and operate even though the conditions of the CUP have not been met. Staff answered some clarifying questions about the agreement. McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 9 of 12 November 30, 2017 Council Member Witte moved to approve the Deferred Infrastructure Agreement for 324 W. Lake Street pending confirmation that Gabriella Hess is the owner, the agreement is updated to refer to as a Deferred Infrastructure Agreement throughout the document, with the addition of a section for financial guarantees which shall be adhered to before the execution of this document and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary agreements. Council Member Giles seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Witte, Council Member Giles, Mayor Aymon, Council Member Holmes, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye and the motion carried. Council Member Witte recused herself at 10:48 p.m. as she is an employee of St. Lukes. AB 17-268 Request for a Letter of Support for an Advance Care Planning Program and Cardiac Risk Reduction Project at St. Luke's Jenny Ruemmele, director of the St. Luke's McCall Foundation presented the request for a letter of support for an advance care planning program and cardiac risk reduction project at St. Luke's McCall. As part of the letter of support, she is also requesting a city representative to participate on the steering committee as part of the health neighborhood. Ms. Ruemmele also requests that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) be signed by the City indicating the city would host at least one presentation each year in a city facility such as Legion Hall. St. Luke's McCall Foundation's Mission is to assist the hospital in its efforts to enhance the health of the community and advance medical excellence. This is accomplished now through directed giving and grants and into the future through the development and management of the endowment. Advance care planning is a plan for your future health care. Even if a person is healthy, it is important to make a plan in case the time comes when you are not able to make decisions for yourself. Making decisions now about end -of -life care can make things easier for you and your family and can help ease your mind. Council Member Giles moved to approve the Memorandum of understanding and authorize the Mayor to sign the MOU and the letter of support. Council Member Holmes seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Giles, Council Member Holmes, Mayor Aymon, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye and the motion carried. Council Member Giles moved to appoint a Mayor Aymon to serve as the City Representative representative to participate on the steering committee as part of the health neighborhood. Council Member Holmes seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Giles, Council Member Holmes, Mayor Aymon, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye and the motion carried. Council Member Witte rejoined the meeting at 10:52 p.m. AB 17-264 Request to Approve Resolution 17-23 to Adopt the City of McCall and McCall Donnelly School District Agreement to Exchange Land Public Works Director Nathan Stewart presented the Resolution to adopt the land exchange between the City and McCall Donnelly School District (MDSD). During 2017, Public Works has McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 10 of 12 November 30, 2017 been coordinating with the MDSD and Skiftun Land Surveying to identify portions of land on or near the MDSD High School property that are improperly owned and any utility and recreational pathway easements that have not been properly defined and/or recorded with Valley County. One issue the project team has identified is a small portion of MDSD property near the corner of Idaho Street that was assumed to be City right-of-way but is actually owned by MDSD (Propety A). Similarly, the team identified a small portion of City property (located just north of Stibnite street along the eastern boundary of the high school property) that was assumed to be owned by MDSD and part of the High School's bus driveway (Property B). On March 13, 2017, the MDSD Board approved the transfer of Property A to the City in exchange for Property B and authorized their staff and legal counsel to affectuate the transfer. Per State statutes, for the City to complete this land exchange the City Council must establish a resolution that calls for the exchange of land. Once the resolution is adopted, a notice of the land exchange and summary of the resolution must be published in the local newspaper 14 days prior to a public hearing, and then conduct a public hearing and following the hearing, approve the land exchange. Council Member Witte moved to approve Resolution 17-23 to call for a public hearing to exchange land between the City of McCall and the McCall Donnelly School District. Council Member Holmes seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Witte, Council Member Holmes, Mayor Aymon, Council Member Giles, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye and the motion carried. AB 17-265 Request to Adopt Resolution No. 17-22 for the Ratification of the 2017 General Election Results Interim City Manager BessieJo Wagner presented the Resolution for the ratification of the 2017 general election results. Legislation went into effect on January 1, 2011 that establishes counties as the officials for all elections. Idaho Code §34-1205 and §34-1206 state that the county board of commissioners shall be the county board of canvassers and the county clerk shall serve as their secretary for this purpose; and the board shall examine and make a statement of the total number of votes cast for all candidates or special questions that shall have been voted upon at the election. Below are the Valley County Board of Commissioners canvassed results of the November 7, 2017 General Election. Upon canvass, it was found that the results for the four year terms for three open City Council seats are: Gail Bray Not Elected Robert S. Giles (Incumbent) Elected Jared Hendee Not Elected Melanie L. Holmes Elected Robert Lyons Not Elected Wayne March Not Elected McCall City Council Regular Meeting Page 11 of 12 November 30, 2017 Thomas Sowers Elected Upon canvass, it was found that the results for the two year term for one open City Council seat is: Colby Nielsen Elected Council Member Witte moved to adopt Resolution 17-22 ratifying the Valley County Commissioners canvass of the November 7, 2017 General Election, authorize the issuance of Certificates of Election at the first meeting in January, and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents. Council Member Holmes seconded the motion.
