AB 18-57 McCall Fourth of July Historical Update and 2018 Events and Timeline
Parks and Recreation Director Kurt Wolf and Communications Manager Erin Greaves presented
the McCall Fourth of July historical update and the 2018 events and timeline. In 2016, City staff
conducted a community engagement process through the month of January 2016 to receive input
from business owners and the general public regarding the Fourth of July in McCall. Staff also
met with key agencies to discuss potential options for re-establishing the vision and venue for the
holiday in McCall. A summary of those findings and recommendations were presented to the City
Council on February 11, 2016. The city attorney recommended that, in addition to a resolution to
restrict alcohol in city parks, that a code amendment be produced identifying that alcohol may be
restricted in July through the act of a resolution by the Council. The ordinance for the amendment
and resolution to restrict alcohol were adopted in April of 2016. Also in 2016, Idaho State Parks
and Recreation requested that the City of McCall identify its intent to collaborate on 4th of July
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 8 of 11
March 8, 2018 Regular Meeting
changes in McCall City Parks within a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The Council
approved this MOU. Communications Manager Greaves shared the back history to up to date.
As a result of the above mentioned efforts. The City of McCall led the effort to establish a 4th of
July event known as Lake Front Liberty Fest.
This year is presenting some funding issues. In the past two years, Youth Advocacy Coalition
(YAC) and St. Luke's has donated $5000 each year that was used for advertising, print media, as
well as allowing stipends to be given to volunteers such as the Ambassador program to offset their
costs. However, due to some internal restructuring at YAC and the end of certain grant monies,
they will not be to contribute funds in 2018. There needs to be some discussion about whether the
Council would like the City to fill in the financial gap to keep things running as before. Some ideas
to look at is the contingency fund and reducing some of the events. Another challenge will be the
volleyball tournament as the people who have ran it the last two years are no longer in the area. A
new event to be added is a small carnival in the Ridley's parking lot. Parks & Recreation Director
Wolf pointed out costs have gone down due to the different type of crowds attending the last two
years. It has allowed Parks to reduce the number of staff needed for cleaning up after the event is
over.
Communications Manager Greaves asked for two Council Members to attend the All Agency
meeting and dates were discussed.
Police Chief Justin Williams spoke about how law enforcement has been affected in a positive
way. The only drawback is the Idaho State Police is no longer available due to the need of party
control now in Crouch so advised the Council to keep this in mind when moving forward.
Staff answered questions regarding funding. Council Member Giles requested staff to investigate
a funding source for the volunteers. Efforts will be made to reach out to Treasure Valley Transport
to provide busing to reduce congestion. Staff plans to present a discussion at a May Council
meeting to dive deeper into details of the event operations and ask for direction. Communications
Manager Greaves will set up a public meeting for April 17th
AB 18-64 Request for a Letter of Support for Library Expansion Project
Library Director Meg Lojek presented the letter of support for the Library Expansion project. The
Library Ambassadors requested a letter from Council members to demonstrate to potential donors
and foundations that the City Council is supportive of efforts to improve the public library for the
community. The letter would be used to facilitate communications with prospective donors in one-
on-one meetings and in grant applications, as part of a larger packet that fully describes the
conceptual plans.
Council Member Giles moved to authorize the Mayor to sign a general letter of support for
Library Expansion Project on behalf of City Council. Council Member Sowers seconded the
motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Giles, Council Member Sowers, Mayor Aymon,
Council Member Holmes, and Council Member Nielsen all voted aye and the motion carried.
AB 18-55 Request to Adopt Ordinance for 3% Occupancy Local Option Tax Renewal
City Clerk BessieJo Wagner presented the request to adopt the ordinance for 3% Occupancy Local

and discussions of the Council a final version of the 3% Occupancy Local Option Tax Ordinance
MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 9 of 11
March 8, 2018 Regular Meeting
has been prepared for Council's adoption. The Ordinance, if approved by voters, will renew the
tax for an additional 10 years. The rate of the new tax being considered will remain at 3%. The
new ordinance proposes a change in the makeup of allowable uses and a change to the
responsibilities of the Local Option Tax Commissioners. Those changes are called out in the
redlined sections of the ordinance. March 16, 2018 is the deadline to submit it to be put on the
ballot.
City Clerk Wagner briefly went over the changes. Council Member Nielsen had concerns about
the redundancy with the word "public". City Attorney Bill Nichols advised the wording can be
changed if the Council would prefer. Mayor Aymon did not have any issues with the verbiage
because the whole point is to call out the "public" purpose. Council Member Holmes was
concerned as well and felt using the word over and over was distracting. She also thought the word
City in front of local housing was unnecessary. Council Member Giles was in agreement with both
Council Members Holmes and Nielsen. He felt if it is called out in the beginning statement then it
is not necessary to have it constantly called out throughout the document. The Council went
through the ordinance advising which use of the word "public" to remove and making some other
minor word changes. City Clerk Wagner will make the necessary amendments.
Council Member Nielsen moved to suspend the rules and read by title one time only
Ordinance No. 965. Council Member Holmes seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council
Member Nielsen, Council Member Holmes, Mayor Aymon, Council Member Giles, and
Council Member Sowers all voted aye and the motion carried.
