PRESENT: Mayor Dan Gubler, Council President Rob Geray, Council Member Michael Thompson, Council Member Kathy McNamara, City Attorney Andrew Rawlings, Public Works Director Zech Prouse, Chief of Police Karl Bowcutt, and City Clerk Shara Roberts. ABSENT: Council Member John Price. VISITORS: Emily Leigh, Michelle Bateman, Scott Serr, Brian Dilenge, Dave Noel, Jennifer Serr, and Kevin Harris. ITEMS OF BUSINESS: Presentation of Proposed Mountain Bike Park — Brian Dilenge: Brian Dilenge with Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation handed out copies of the proposed mountain bike park, "Exhibit A. He further reported the specialists at the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have reviewed the project and approved the plan to move forward mid -June. The next step will be for the project to come out for public comment with the anticipation to start digging the project next spring. Mr. Dilenge reported the proposal is very similar to the Eagle Bike Park. Mayor Gubler expressed it has been discussed the bike park would probably work best housed under the City of Iona as one entity to manage it. Then at some point, the City would initiate the process to take ownership of the property further down the road. Mayor Gubler explained the biggest question at the moment is some further reclamation of the property by the Department of Environmental Quality (DOE). Council President Geray inquired about the maintenance costs the City would be responsible for. Mayor Gubler explained the bike club would take over the maintenance of the trails and there are also funds available through the State. Chief Bowcutt inquired if policing of the facility would be the City's responsibility. Mayor Gubler indicated that was correct. Mr. Dilenge reported there are landowners to the east and south of the property who have expressed interest and involvement in the project as well. Mayor Gubler outlined future visions for a city park or green space, and/or a shooting range on the property. Discussion of Possible BMX Bike Park/Pump Track: Citizen Scott Serr handed out copies of his proposal for a small kid's version of a BMX bike park/pump track next to the skate park in Iona Square, "Exhibit B. He expressed the proposed bike park up on the hill will be wonderful for the community, but expressed the need for a smaller version for kids to be able to access easily here in town. Furthermore, he would be willing to try and design something. Dave Noel with Forsgren Associates explained to the Council they may want to talk to Ted 1 Hendricks with the East-Central Idaho Planning & Development Association (ECIPDA) as this type of project may fall into a category that is fundable with city improvement grant funds. Council President Geray supported the idea of having a beginning stage appropriate track available in town opposed to up on the hill with the more advanced bike park. After further discussion, the Council supported Mr. Serr pursuing a design and cost plan for the proposed project and bringing it back for consideration at a future date. Discussion of Possible New Business in Iona — Emily Leigh: Citizen Emily Leigh explained she approached the Council last month to discuss a possible pop shop business. The discussion was tabled until the Council could seek legal counsel first regarding what type of liabilities could potentially exist if it was placed on city owned property. Attorney Rawlings asked if she intended for this to be a long term or short term arrangement to help determine whether a lease or a permit would be more appropriate. Mrs. Leigh expressed the intention is for the business to be a long term arrangement. Attorney Rawlings inquired if she would be leasing a city building or setting up a separate structure. Mrs. Leigh reported they would build a 10 x 12 structure and would like to set it up on city owned property possibly on the east side of the tennis courts by Iona Square on Dayton Street. Attorney Rawlings inquired if the business would be set up as a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Mrs. Leigh responded it would be. Council President Geray expressed his number one concern regarding this proposal is setting precedence. Attorney Rawlings recommended the Council consider adopting standards for leasing out city owned property or facilities instead of on a case by case basis. Council President Geray inquired if Mrs. Leigh has explored other options for property for the business to be located on. Director Prouse expressed placing a structure in a city owned public right-of-way next to an established street is going to create traffic and pedestrian safety issues. Mayor Gubler suggested the empty lot on the corner of Iona Road and Main Street next to the old Ernie's Cafe. Mayor Gubler also suggested the north side of the Stanger Building in the parking area since the building is owned by the City, but leased to the Bonneville Arts Association. Attorney Rawlings indicated he would need to review the lease first for that particular scenario. Mayor Gubler directed Clerk Roberts to provide a copy of that document for his review. After further discussion, the Council indicated privately owned property would be their number one preference. Mrs. Leigh understood the Council's concerns, but did express private property 2 would be a very expensive route for this type of business proposal. Discussion of School Safety: Mayor Gubler suggested tabling this item until Council Member Price can be present as he is the individual who requested it for discussion. Request from the Church of Latter -Day Saints (LDS) to hook up sprinkler system to the City's water system: Mayor Gubler reported he received a request from the LDS Church to permanently hook up their sprinkler system to the City's water system. Director Prouse expressed from his perspective the LDS Church including the landscape was designed to run on off of secondary irrigation. He believes looking into the future it could be used as a benchmark for water conservation. He is not comfortable at this time hooking it up to the City's water system. After further discussion with the Council, they supported Director Prouse's perspective. Mayor Gubler expressed he would explain the reasons why they are denying the request at this time. Meeting Adjourned: 6:43 pm COUNCIL APPROVED: June 26th, 2018 ATTEST: Shara Roberts, City Clerk Dan Gubler, Mayor 3 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING IONA COMMUNITY CENTER MAY 17, 2018 — 7:00 P.M. PRESENT: Mayor Dan Gubler, Council President Rob Geray, Council Member Michael Thompson, Council Member Kathy McNamara, City Attorney Andrew Rawlings, Public Works Director Zech Prouse, Chief of Police Karl Bowcutt, and City Clerk Shara Roberts. ABSENT: Council Member John Price. VISITORS: Ryan Reeves, Kurt Roland, Dee & Christine Johnson, Greg Hansen, Dave Noel, and Kevin Harris. Mayor Gubler welcomed everyone and Council Member Thompson led with the Pledge of Allegiance. A roll call was taken to open the meeting. CONSENT AGENDA: City Council Special Work Meeting and City Council Meeting Minutes of April 17, 2018 were reviewed. Council reviewed the finance reports for the period ending April 30, 2018 (58% of the fiscal year elapsed). The City had $937,856.54 in the bank and routine bills had been paid, "Exhibit A. Mayor Gubler reported Treasurer Sullivan has sent out a draft budget for Fiscal Year 2019 (FY2019) he would like everyone to review in preparation for a budget work session on Tuesday, June 26th at 6:00 pm and bring forth any projects or adjustments to the budget. Clerk Roberts provided copies to the Council. Mayor Gubler asked Clerk Roberts to relay to Treasurer Sullivan a request for a breakdown analysis showing where the percentages are at on each account on a monthly basis. Mayor Gubler entertained a motion. Council President Geray made a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. Council Member Thompson seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried. ITEMS OF BUSINESS: Public Hearing — 7:15 pm: Annexation/Initial Zoning/Preliminary Plat Application for the Freedom Field Estates Subdivision: Mayor Gubler explained the public hearing process, and asked Rockwell Homes to present the application for Freedom Field Estates, "Exhibit B. Kurt Roland with Eagle Rock Engineering located at 1331 Fremont Ave. in Idaho Falls explained he is representing Rockwell Homes. Since they last met on this project, they have made some adjustments to the plat based on feedback from the City. The plat now outlines two access roads off of 49th North (Telford Road) and two access roads south of the project which will be Main Street and Olsen Street. They intend to start construction on the south end of the development, and the lots will a minimum of/2 an acre. 1 Mr. Roland further explained the City Engineer Paul Scoresby recommended upsizing the main water line through the development and the City has agreed to pay the difference in material costs. Mayor Gubler inquired if they received a copy of the review letter from City Engineer Paul Scoresby outlining additional recommendations, and if they were willing to incorporate those recommendations. Mr. Roland acknowledged he received the letter, and agreed to the recommendations. Director Prouse inquired if they received an acceptance letter from Iona Bonneville Sewer District. Mr. Roland indicated they had. Council Member McNamara expressed she doesn't want construction traffic on existing city streets such as Iona Road, Main Street, and Olsen Street and would prefer all construction traffic go down Telford Road even if the development is starting on the south end. Mr. Roland expressed they could make that accommodation if that was the City's wishes. Greg Hansen with Rockwell Homes located at 3539 Briar Creek Lane in Ammon expressed he is excited about this project since they were able to accommodate developing the subdivision with 1/2 acre lots which is line with what the City has expressed they would like to see for future development. However, Mr. Hansen expressed they would not be willing to construct a separate construction road as it is something not required nor normally done. Even if they were to build a separate construction road they cannot control where the subcontractors choose to drive, and they will utilize all available access roads. He further expressed they have tried to accommodate with the City's requests on almost all other levels over the course of the last two years and have platted the project multiple times and as a result are opposed to accommodating that request. Mr. Hansen further explained when a project first begins they ask drivers to slow down, post signs regarding working hours, and encourage the local police department to patrol the area often. Mayor Gubler inquired if they can request Rockwell to educate their drivers about preferred routes. Mr. Hansen indicated he would be happy to do that. Council Member Thompson shared concerns relating to roads being covered in mud from construction vehicles, and asked what Rockwell intends to do to help address this. Mayor Gubler explained there is verbiage written in the Iona City Code which prohibits debris left on the streets. Mr. Hansen explained if they received a notification they make their drivers clean up, and have been contacted by Director Prouse on a few instances. Additionally, they try to have a superintendent on the job site every day to try and monitor this particular issue. 2 Mayor Gubler opened up the public portion of the hearing; those in favor, none; neutral, none; opposed one. Mayor Gubler requested Clerk Roberts enter into the record Bryce Contor's written response. Mr. Contor expressed opposition towards the proposed development, "Exhibit C. Ryan Reeves located at 4060 North Main Street expressed there have been three instances in which there was mud on the roadways and when he called Rockwell Homes he was told it wasn't their responsibility. He expressed concerns his home is at the entrance of where they will be working. Mr. Reeves did not make any comments regarding testimony in favor, neutral, or against the application. Mr. Hansen expressed whenever he has received notification he always makes sure it is taken care of. He recommended in the future Mr. Reeves call Rockwell Homes and ask directly for him, notify Director Prouse who will get ahold of him, or when they begin construction he would be happy to give him his personal cell phone number. Mayor Gubler closed the public portion of the hearing. Mayor Gubler reported the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended during the first public hearing the Council approve the plat and annex the development. Additionally, Rockwell Homes received the recommendation letter from Schiess & Associates and are willing to fulfill those requests and expressed he is personally satisfied with approving the application. Mayor Gubler discussed the importance of looking into what the irrigation ditches provide outside of the subdivision, and will meet with Progressive Irrigation to discuss it further. Mayor Gubler entertained a motion. Council President Geray moved to approve the annexation, initial zoning, and preliminary plat application for Freedom Field Estates Subdivision subject to the additional requirements made by City Engineer Paul Scoresby with Schiess & Associates. Council Member Thompson seconded the motion. Approval was taken by a roll call vote: Council President Geray: YES Council Member Price: YES Council Member Thompson: YES Council Member McNamara: YES Attorney Rawlings indicated he would begin the necessary paperwork needed to move forward. Approval of New Business License Application — America's Choice: Clerk Roberts reported it appears there is no one in attendance to present the application to the Council for approval. Council President Geray moved to table this item further until someone attends the meeting. Approval of Ordinance 219-05-18 Amending Title 1, Chapter 3, Section 5, and Title 5, Chapter 5, Section 1 Relating to Debris on Streets: Attorney Rawlings reported the amendments now include escalated penalties for repeated offenses within a certain timeframe as requested by the Council from last month. While consulting with Attorney Dale Storer, he recommended a punishment section be added to each section instead of a generic penalty area to fall back on as it would ultimately result in unnecessary complication. 3 Council President Geray expressed he would like to see an increase to the escalation of penalties, and is inclined to make a recommendation for $35, $100, $200, $300. Additionally, the word "and" needs to be inserted into Section B (4). Mayor Gubler entertained a motion. Council McNamara moved to approve ordinance 220-05-18 amending section 1-3-5 of the Iona City Code; amending the definitions of infraction and misdemeanor, amending section 5-5-1 of the Iona City Code; relating to debris on streets, re - categorizing a violation, and amending the penalty for such violations including the revisions outlined and moved to dispense with the rule of reading in full and on three separate occasions. Council President Geray seconded the motion. Approval of the ordinance was taken by a roll call vote, "Exhibit D": Council President Geray: YES Council Member Price: YES Council Member Thompson: YES Council Member McNamara: YES Approval of Ordinance 220-05-18 Amending Title 1, Chapter 14, and Section 6 Declaring the City Clerk as the Custodian of Public Records: Mayor Gubler reported by law the City now needs to define the custodian for public records within the city code. Mayor Gubler entertained a motion. Council Member Thompson moved to approve ordinance 220-05-18 declaring the City Clerk custodian for purposes of the Idaho Public Records Act; amending section 1-14-6 of the Iona City Code; amending the definition of custodian and moved to dispense with the rule of reading in full and on three separate occasions. Council Member McNamara seconded the motion. Approval of the ordinance was taken by a roll call vote, "Exhibit E": Council President Geray: YES Council Member Price: YES Council Member Thompson: YES Council Member McNamara: YES Discussion of Amending Title 11, Chapter 4, Section 2, Title 11, Chapter 4, Section 3(B), and Title 11, Chapter 11, Section 21 Relating to Requirements of Manufactured Homes: Mayor Gubler explained Attorney Rawlings has brought to light that the City cannot enforce manufactured homes to go through the conditional use permit process as it is a violation of the Fair Housing Act. Additionally, the City cannot require manufactured homes to construct a garage or carport unless they require the same of a regular stick built home. Furthermore, this is for discussion only as it will require a public hearing in front of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Council prior to approval. Director Prouse asked about lot size definition, specifically historic district definition as it is currently outlined the square footage for a mobile home is less than what the City currently requires for a patio home. He further explained the verbiage requires at least 1,000 square foot lot size for a mobile home, but doesn't include any verbiage differentiating those requirements for a regular stick built home in the R-1 Zone. Council President Geray further expressed as he reviewed the code there appears to be bigger issues throughout the zoning codes in regards to minimum square footage requirements for both 4 manufactured homes and regular stick built homes. There appears to be inconsistent numbers, and the code needs to be amended to mirror one another. After further discussion, the Council directed Attorney Rawlings to draft the recommended amendments and get the information to Clerk Roberts to initiate the public hearing process for the month of June. General Discussion and Update on the Water System Improvement Project: Dave Noel with Forsgren Associates provided a brief update on the City's Water System Improvement Project. Currently, he is still waiting for the Environmental Review to be completed by City Engineer Paul Scoresby. Upon completion, Forsgren Associates will submit a contract proposal to begin negotiating the engineering services for the project. Council President Geray inquired what the delay was in regards to the Environmental Review. Mr. Noel explained the three category types for the Environmental Review: (1) Categorical Exclusion — is defined as the project being predetermined to have no significant impact and therefore is excluded (2) Finding of No Significant Impact — is defined as the project does not fit in a predetermined category, but is still determined to have no significant impact which has to be proven with thorough documentation, correspondence with a multitude of government agencies, and whether they agree there is no significant impact. Mr. Noel indicated this is the category the City's project fits into. (3) Impact — is defined as the project having significant impact and requires actions of mitigation. Mayor Gubler reported he has spoken with Mr. Scoresby who indicated he would have it finalized by the end of next week, and the Council should be able to move forward with accepting the document during next month's meeting. At that point, they can move forward with the design phase of the project. Discussion of Tobacco 21 Resolution presented by City of Rexburg: Clerk Roberts explained the proposal came from the City of Rexburg requesting other cities to consider adopting a similar resolution. After further discussion, the Council opted to not consider adopting a similar resolution at this time. Spring Clean -Up and Arbor Day Celebration: Mayor Gubler reported the weeklong event will take place starting Monday, May 28th and go through Saturday, June 2nd. The City has received a $300 grant from the Arbor Day Foundation, and the event will end by planting a tree at Pioneer Park at 10:00 am. The Mayor's Youth Advisory Council will also be participating in helping to clean up at least two residential yards within the City. STAFF REPORTS: Director Prouse reported he wanted to give the Council a quick update on tree removal. He received other quotes, but they all came in higher than the original approved amount so he has scheduled the first quote to begin work on June 20th 5 Clerk Roberts reported she would be out of the office on vacation starting Monday, June 4th - Tuesday, June 12th available by phone and email if needed. PUBLIC COMMENT: Brian Dilenge asked for further feedback from the Council in regards to their support for the proposed mountain bike park up on the hill. The Council as a whole expressed support for the proj ect. Mayor Gubler asked for any future agenda topics. Council President Geray expressed at some point he feels the Council needs to address a plan for commercial development.

FISCAL YEAR HAS ELAPSED 06/11/2018 02:44PM PAGE: 6 TAB D SCHOOL ZONE SAFETY The goal of school zones is to help protect children - and everyone - from dangers of traffic around schools at the same time we facilitate the orderly flow of traffic. The most common technique to promote the safety of children is by requiring drivers to go slower and make them more aware that children may be present. The dangers are very real and very serious. Children need special protection because they are children and are small and hard to see. They often do not understand the dangers and they are impulsive and can do things that no one can anticipate. Making drivers aware that children may be present is a good start to better safety. Slower speeds are a benefit in a school zone, but not a solution. The danger is still very real, even at slow speeds. Being struck by a car traveling 40 mph is like falling off a third story roof. If the car is going 20mph, the impact is equal to falling off the roof of a single story house. That of course is much better, but is still very likely to cause serious injury or worse. It is not the total answer to improving safety for school children. WE NEED TO IMPROVE SCHOOL ZONES Schools should not be built on busy streets or thoroughfares School district and the city should cooperate to provide all these safety features on or near the school property Define a school zone as the street area adjacent to the school property, plus 50/100 yards beyond property line of school to allow drivers to slow down. Mark the zone plainly with large and prominent signs with flashing lights so it can not be missed Put speed bumps or buzz strip warnings in approaching lanes at each end of the school zone. Physically separate vehicle traffic from pedestrians by putting the sidewalks at the maximum practical distance from centerline of the roadway to the sidewalk or walkway. That is frequently 45 feet on each side of the centerline. ( Suggest that is a good idea everywhere in Iona.) Provide physical safety barriers like curbs, gutters and sidewalks or walkways at the margin of all our streets, but especially in school zones. In the school zones, include brightly painted curbs or barriers of contrasting colors for easy No street parking allowed in the school zone. Provide prominent painted lines on the pavement, centerline, edge line etc Street crossings adjoining school property should be well marked; including signs and flashing lights in center of road when practical Ensure that there is safe pedestrian access from school property to adjacent street crossings Specify and post realistic `activity times' for school zone laws to be in effect Schools should also provide: Safe and convenient off-street access for student pick up and delivery for vehicles entering and exiting school property Safe pedestrian access in all those areas Adequate sidewalks/ walkways with curbs or barriers on school property Safe truck access/exit for trash, delivery etc at the school. Promote minimum congestion and interference with street traffic in those areas PREVENTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT Our goal with our school zones and school zone laws, is to prevent people from endangering children. They do that when they speed through a school zone and endanger children who are present. Parking a police car out of sight and giving them a ticket after the fact, is a failure to prevent that. They have already broken the law and put the lives of children in danger. If there were children injured in that situation, they would already have been pushed off the roof before the police could have done anything. School bus laws do a much better job of preventing these dangers. With a huge yellow bus with flashing lights and a bus driver, parked in the middle of the road, only an idiot would violate the law and speed around the bus. That is something we can take from the school bus and put in the school zone, and do it right now! Suggestion: During the times when children are actually on the streets, we can park a well -marked police car at each end of a school zone, preferably with the lights on. There is no way the message can be missed! THIS IS A SCHOOL ZONE! SLOW DOWN! WATCH FOR CHILDREN BECAUSE YOU ARE BEING WATCHED! There may be an officer in the car, or maybe not ...either way, only an idiot would speed past that car on the chance he will get away with it. School zone speeding would be almost totally eliminated. We may have lost the revenue of a ticket fine, but we have just protected the lives of the children and that is really what the speed laws are all about, aren't they? As we go forward, there is another thing which will seriously help safety in the school zones EDUCATION AND TRAINING All the traffic laws and rules on the books cannot guarantee the safety of pedestrians, young or old. We must all take responsibility for our own safety. We must know and practice all the techniques of keeping our self safe when we are walking or driving on our streets and roads. If children are constantly nursemaided, and never taught or practice what they are taught, they never learn to take care of themselves on our streets. It is impossible to have a crossing guard at every crossing in the everyone's life, not even a child's. The reality is, that we must all learn to be safe when we are on our own. Until they know how to deal with traffic, they are victims or targets for the next accident. We should help train and teach them to be as safe as they can be This could be a cooperative effort and plan, involving the school, police and city and especially the parents in teaching children how to be safe when they are on the streets. Realistically, this would provide the ultimate safety during the children's school years and for the rest of their lives. We must teach them basic safety. Like how to cross a street correctly and safely, how to walk along a busy road the safest way possible. Teach them to walk against traffic so they can see oncoming cars, stay as far off the road as practical. Stay behind any barriers, like curbs and stay on sidewalks or pedestrian walkways and as far away from motor traffic as practical. This attitude would not just benefit the elementary level child. An effective training program at the elementary level would likely eliminate or greatly reduce many bad teen-age attitudes about safety and obeying the rules. Most of us considered ourselves bulletproof at that age. "Nothing can hurt me!" And the inclination to obey all the rules does not seem to be part of our natural make up when we are teenagers. If we are taught when we are young, that these rules and guidelines are for our own good and we are really better off when we obey them, there is a much better chance that we will carry them on into our teenage and adult years, no matter which side of the steering wheel we are on. One other good thing we can teach our children is that the "the policeman is your friend". This is part of the shared attitude that people are usually going to do the right thing and that the policeman is there to help and to serve whenever needed. The sort of old fashioned "Cop on the Beat" policy that can be a plus for everyone, especially young children. That cooperative relationship between the public and the police can spread to all facets or our lives in our little town, and which is way better than the adversarial confrontation that as is so often the case in our society in these times.

"Butch" Otter, Governor www.deq.idaho.gov John H.Tippets, Director June 14, 2018 Honorable Dan Gubler, Mayor City of Iona PO Box 487 Iona, ID 83427 RE: Draft finding of no significant impact for the City of Iona Water System Improvement Project (DW1805) Dear Mayor Gubler: The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has completed a review of the environmental information document for the City of Iona Water System Improvement Project. The potential impacts on a number of environmentally sensitive resources were evaluated in the environmental review. The city's project engineer consulted with a number of appropriate state and federal agencies regarding relevant issues. The project meets state and federal criteria for issuance of a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) since the environmental review process indicated no significant environmental impacts would result from the proposed project. A FONSI legal notice will be published in the Post Register, newspaper of record for the City of Iona. DEQ has requested the Post Register publish the legal notice one time, on one day, on June 20, 2018. The legal notice will explain how the public can obtain a copy of the full FONSI for review and will give instructions on how they can submit comments. A 30-day public comment period will follow the FONSI legal notice publication. If public comments and concerns arise related to the project or FONSI, DEQ may ask your help in preparing responses. Following the 30-day public comment period, any significant comments or concerns will be considered and incorporated as appropriate into the final FONSI determination for the referenced project. After issuance of the final FONSI, and with approval of all technical considerations in the planning document, DEQ will close the DEQ planning grant and proceed with the State Revolving Fund loan. Willie Teuscher at the DEQ Idaho Falls Regional Office, (208) 528-4666, is your local DEQ contact on the referenced project. Please keep him informed of progress on the project.

Burnell Water Quality Division Administrator BNB:AO:dls Enclosures c: MaryAnna Peavey, DEQ State Office Willie Teuscher, Idaho Falls Regional Office Paul Scoresby, Scheiss & Associates, pscoresby(&,,scheisseng.com Record 2018ALP 117-120 DRAFT FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Date: June 14, 2018 To: All Interested Government Agencies, Public Groups, and Individuals Subject: Environmental determination for the City of Iona Water System Improvement Project In accordance with the State Environmental Review Process (SERP), "Rules for Administration of Drinking Water Loan Program" (IDAPA 58.01.20), an environmental review has been performed and a draft finding of no significant impact (FONSI) is hereby issued by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Project: City of Iona Water System Improvement Project Location: Iona, Bonneville County, Idaho DEQ Loan Number: DW 1805 Total Loan Project Cost: $3,900,000 PURPOSE/SUMMARY OF IMPACTS: Purpose of Project: The purpose of the proposed project is to address the City of Iona's drinking water system deficiencies in distribution, water supply, and water storage. Description of the Project: The proposed project involves improving drinking water supply, additional storage, and distribution system improvements including the following: • New water well producing up to 2,000 gallons per minute and associated pump station • New 1,000,000 gallon water storage tank • Water transmission line from the new well/storage tank site to the distribution grid • Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) link at the new well storage tank site Direct and Indirect Impacts: An environmental information document (EID) was prepared by Scheiss & Associates, consulting engineer for the City of Iona. Scheiss & Associates and DEQ consulted with the appropriate state and federal agencies regarding relevant environmentally sensitive resources. Based on consultation with agency experts, Scheiss & Associates and DEQ evaluated the potential short-term and long-term impacts, and the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the drinking water improvement project. The evaluation emphasized site -specific components of the environment that are most likely to be impacted by the construction and operation of the proposed improvements. The results of the project evaluation indicate there will be environmental effects from the referenced project as described below. Short-term impacts may occur during project construction that includes temporary disruption of the distribution system, increased noise, increased dust pollution, increased potential for stormwater runoff, and disruption of localized traffic conditions. The project is responsible for managing the temporary disruptions of the system as follows: • Air Quality: Temporary dust pollution impacts will be controlled as a condition of the construction specifications in accordance with the "Rules for the Control of Air Pollution in Idaho' (IDAPA 58.01.01.651). IDAPA 58.01.01.651 states that reasonable precautions shall be taken for dust control and suppression by using water or chemicals, applying dust suppressants, covering trucks, paving, and removing materials. In addition to the rule requirements, DEQ recommends that a dust prevention and control plan be implemented during construction of the project that includes best management practices (BMPs) to minimize dust pollution for fugitive dust control. • Cultural Resources: If archeological artifacts (such as beads, arrow heads, pottery, fabric, grave goods, glass, metal fragments, or other human -made objects that appear to predate 1960) or human remains (such as bones, bone fragments, or teeth) are inadvertently discovered during construction, ground disturbing activities shall cease and the State Historical Preservation Officer (SHPO), Shoshone -Paiute Tribe, and Burns -Paiute General Council shall be notified. Mitigation measures will be implemented as directed by SHPO and the tribe(s), and work will not resume at the discovery site without their consent. • Stormwater: Stormwater runoff shall be handled through an Environmental Protection Agency Stormwater Construction General permit and the development of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP and stormwater BMPs will be implemented prior to, during, and after project construction to reduce the potential for erosion from runoff. • Wetlands: The Hillside and East Center Canals run perpendicular to the proposed transmission pipe. These canals are considered Waters of the United States (U.S.). Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires that a DA permit be obtained for discharge of dredged or fill materials into the Waters of the U.S. including jurisdictional wetlands. This permit will not be required if the transmission line in installed beneath the bed of these canals with jack and bore type methods in a manner that the Waters of the U.S. are not disturbed. This type of encroachment is covered under the United States Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 12 (Brochure). With this installation method there should be no short or long term impacts to the canals or water quality in the canal as a result of pipeline installation operations. • Noise impacts from the project construction will be reduced by restricting work hours to reasonable times identified in the construction specifications. • Implement any other appropriate BMPs, wherever possible, to avoid or minimize impacts from other construction activities. The following permits will be required for this project: • Section 404 CWA Nationwide Permit #12 (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) (if necessary, see above) • Any other local, state, or federal permit required for activities taking place during project construction. 2 Beneficial Impacts: Overall, the completion of the proposed project will have long-term positive effects to public health and water quality by addressing deficiencies in the supply, storage, and delivery of the drinking water system. Finding: The review process did not indicate significant environmental impacts would result from the proposed action. Consequently, a preliminary decision has been made that an environmental impact statement does not need to be prepared for the proposed project. Instead, a FONSI is hereby issued by DEQ. This decision is made following a careful review of the May 2018 City of Iona Water System Improvement Project Environmental Information Document and supporting documentation. AVAILABILITY OF COPIES: Copies of the notice of a FONSI, May 2018 City of Iona Water System Improvement Project Environmental Information Document and supporting documentation upon which it is based are available for public review on DEQ's website at www.deq.idaho.gov/public-comment-opportunities or at the following locations: Idaho Department of Environmental Quality Water Quality Division 1410 North Hilton Boise, Idaho 83706 Grant/loan SERP contact: Adam Oliver — (208) 373-0406 Idaho Department of Environmental Quality Idaho Falls Regional Office 900 N Skyline, Ste B Idaho Falls, Idaho 83402 Regional Office contact: Willie Teuscher — ( 208) 528-2666 City of Iona PO Box 487 Iona, Idaho 83427 Contact: Mayor Dan Gubler — (208) 523-5600 The public will be informed about the proposed project and their opportunity for comment through the Post Register, one time in the June 20, 2018 publication.

This EID was prepared pursuant to meeting Section V.0 special condition of Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan Agreement #DW 1805 (State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality), which requires the City of Iona to complete an environmental assessment. DEQ acceptance is sought for to enable design and construction cost reimbursement of the project in accordance with the conditions of the loan. Schiess & Associates May 2018 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document 1 This EID was prepared after the completion of all water facility planning work was complete, after passage of a successful bond election by the City of Iona and after the loan offer from DEQ was made to the City. The water facility planning documents consist of the following documents: • Water Master Plan (CH2MHILL) referred to throughout this document informally as the original water master plan, • The Iona Water Facilities Planning Study (Keller Associates) referred to herein informally as the first amendment (to the original water master plan), and • Amendment 2 to Iona Water Master Plan (Schiess & Associates, PC) which amends the original water master plan and the first amendment. This document is referred to throughout this document as the second amendment (to the original water master plan). 1.5 Estimated User Costs User costs were determined by analyzing past Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs, estimating O&M costs of new facilities and loan reserves and projecting increases to repay the loan. Estimated Average Residential Water User Costs A . Current Average Monthly User Charge per $30.00 EDU B . Change in O&M Monthly Costs per EDU $0.66 (includes loan & capital reserves) C . Change in Debt Service Monthly Charges per $17.13 EDU D . Future Average Monthly User Charge Per EDU $47.79 (A+B+C) The current monthly rate is substantially lower than revenue needed to fund the water system improvements contemplated by this loan. It is estimated that the City must raise the water rates of its customers an average of $17.13 per month to pay additional operations and maintenance costs and fund the annual loan installments. 1.6 Abstract The City of Iona facility planning process concluded with DEQ approving the second amendment to the earlier planning documents described above on February 26, 2018 as DEQ #18-05-10 (Idaho Department of Environmental Quality). Prior to preparing the second amendment to the original water master plan, the City held two public meetings to inform city residents of the proposed project and invited residents to vote for or against a revenue bond for the project on November 7, 2017. The revenue bond election passed with a simple majority vote. This Environmental Information Document (EID) provides a summary of the project purpose and need, describes the existing environment, gives a narrative and very brief analysis of alternatives the City considered leading up to the bond election and a brief comparison of feasible alternatives including the no -action alternative. This document evaluates the environmental consequences of the proposed action, how to minimize any adverse effects and what measures will be taken to mitigate or eliminate adverse effects. The City is now reliant on Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 2 DEQ to evaluate the content and data herein and determine whether a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is obtainable, which after public comment is addressed, will enable the project to move forward utilizing the Idaho DEQ SRF loan program to primarily provide funding for the project. The basic alternative selected for implementation was identified in each of the three planning documents cited above. The second amendment provides a significant amount of location detail and some preliminary engineering documentation to clearly identify the scope and intent of the project. The water transmission line Option 2 became the alternative of choice with City acceptance of the proposed Freedom Field Estates on May 17, 2018. Our assessment is that there are no potential long term environmental effects that cannot be fully mitigated. Short term impacts can also be mitigated. Impacts appear to be limited to those of a temporary nature common to construction of new community drinking water systems. Means of mitigating the potential impacts are provided along with mechanisms to ensure compliance with required mitigation. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 3 2.0 PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT In the 11 years since the completion of the original Water Master Plan (CH2MHILL) in 2007, the City of Iona has realized steady home construction in previously approved subdivisions immediately south and west of the original townsite. Falls Water Company now nearly borders the City on the west along Crowley Road and on the south on Lincoln Road. With the development expansion capability of Falls Water Company on the south and west sides of the City, future City annexed subdivisions appear less likely there. There is currently no inventory of new home construction lots available within the City (Schiess & Associates, PC). The City has also reached the point where water demand meets or slightly exceeds the City's ability to provide water supply to meet peak demand, which is evident by pressures slowly, almost imperceptibly, dropping during periods of peak demand. The City also has no redundant well to rely on if a well was lost during a period of peak demand. As indicated in the original water master plan and the first amendment (Keller Associates), these issues must be resolved as described in the second amendment to the original water master plan (Schiess & Associates, PC). Recent development pressure in the form of annexation requests has also increased. Approval by the City of a new housing sub -development north of and adjacent to the original townsite named Freedom Field Estates (formerly proposed as Thomasville Estates) containing 114 home lots occurred in May of 2018. After 2009, the City began to realize that most long-term annexation potential lies not south or west of the City, but primarily to the north and east. The most recent single-family home development proposed in the City would be located north of the original townsite between the City and Telford Road (49th N St). These facts gave impetus to the City to look north and east for a new well and storage tank site, which they found on the hillside northeast of the City (Schiess & Associates, PC). The original water master plan also promoted the idea of a "strong pipeline grid" to support the distribution system. This is important to Iona because the existing 500,000 gallon storage tank elevation limits system pressure to 70 psi in the original townsite. Thus, pressure loss in the transmission and grid system must be kept to a minimum to satisfy normal desired pressure of no less than 60 psi. An improved grid system provided by a new transmission line from a new storage tank will aid in maintaining a minimum 60 psi normal pressure and remove an existing weakness in the grid system on 55th East St. which is low water pressure in that line under a fire flow event. The City has undertaken several improvements on its own which were documented in the second amendment to the original water master plan, but many improvements remain needful in the system. These improvements will promote improved system pressure during peak hour and fire flow events. Improved pressure results in less risk to City residents when the system is stressed to provide peak hour flows and fire flows. All the proposed improvements are discussed in the next chapter of this document. The criteria used by the engineers who wrote the planning documents were the Idaho Drinking Water Rules (IDAPA 58.01.08). Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 4 3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 General Description of Selected Alternative Amendment 2 to Iona Water Master Plan (Schiess & Associates, PC) took the original Water Master Plan (CH2MHILL) and the Iona Water Facilities Planning Study (Keller Associates) one step further by identifying the locations of the new infrastructure and sizing them, thereby developing the full scope of work for the project payable with a State of Idaho DEQ Drinking Water SRF loan. These are outlined below. • New Well 4 and associated pump station on the same site as the new water storage tank. Well is to be fitted with a pump at least 1,375 gpm in size. The well is to be constructed at capacity of a 16 inch diameter pump casing. • New minimum size 1,000,000 gal. water storage tank on the same site as new Well 4 and the associated pump station • Water transmission line from the new well/storage tank site to the City distribution grid (Option 1 or Option 2 as described in the second amendment to the original water master plan. At the completion of this document, Option 2 appears imminent.). With City acceptance of the proposed Freedom Field Estates subdivision now in place, Option 2 will be implemented. Line size is to be 16 inch diameter from the tank site and along 49th N St. The segment that goes south from 49th N St. through existing farmland to the connection at the north end of the original townsite is to be 12 inch diameter. • SCADA link at the new well/storage tank site • 3.52 cfs of municipal ground water rights (city cash and potential loan element) These project elements are shown on the Project Planning Area map given as Figure 1 in Section 5.0. The Loan Offer, Acceptance and Agreement between DEQ (State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality) and the City break down project costs as follows: $1,133,250 for transmission & distribution, $1,546,970 for water storage, $608,560 for source development and $663,500 for engineering and administration totaling $3,952,280. Of this amount, $3,900,000 will come from the DEQ SRF loan and $52,280 will come from City capital reserves. This cost breakdown was for Water Transmission Line Option 1 identified above totaling $3,952,280. With City approval of Freedom Field Estates occurring on May 17, 2018, Option 2 will be implemented. Transmission Line Option 2 shown on Figure 1 in Section 5.0 will cost less than Option 1. Project costs will be reduced because the developer of this subdivision will install the water transmission line throughout his sub -development to further his own interests at his own expense. Therefore, the project budget should have additional contingency funds available to the City if desired. The balance of the SRF loan not used for infrastructure may be applied for the purchase and transfer of needed water rights with DEQ approval prior to the water right transaction. These options were set before the Iona City Council and discussed in regular council meetings and in two special public information meetings held prior to the bond election on November 7, 2017 which passed with a majority vote. The public information materials used as the basis for Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 5 these meetings are given in Section 9.0 of this document. The costs for Option 2 broken down in like manner as done in the paragraph above for Option 1 were given in Section 1.0 of this document. All project cost options are given in detail in the second amendment to the original water master plan. 3.2 No Action Alternative The City essentially initiated the no action alternative relative to major water supply improvements for 10 years from the completion of the original water master plan until last fall when passage of a revenue bond occurred authorizing the City to make major water supply improvements. Passage of a revenue bond was indicative that the No Action alternative was no longer viable to meet the needs of the City. The second amendment to the original water master plan and the public information material and meeting minutes from the public information meetings held in October and November of 2017 give substantial reason why (See Section 9.0 of this document for the public information meetings documentation). The successful revenue bond election authorized the City to pursue the recommend alternative given in all the facility planning documents. 3.3 Recommended Alternative The City has taken over 10 years to arrive at this point in the project. All facility planning documents fundamentally recommend the same project given in Subsection 3.1 above. This project, fully scoped and proposed in the second amendment to the original water master plan, was considered the lowest cost and most desirable project when including all project costs including life cycle costs by the mayor and city council of Iona. The project specifically aims to keep operations and maintenance costs at very low levels, satisfy long-term planning objectives and promote a strong pipeline grid system. With all three facility planning documents recommending fundamentally the same alternative and since the project has met public acceptance standards through two public meetings that culminated in the passage of a revenue bond election, further discussion of other alternatives is not warranted in this EID. 3.4 Environmental Impacts The new well, well pump station and storage tank will be constructed on the same site. This site consists of arid sagebrush covered rangeland. The transmission line will be constructed from the same site westward in an access and utility easement across the private property of nearby landowners to 60th E St (Foothill Rd). From there the transmission line will cross under the Hillside Canal, one set of railroad tracks and the East Center Canal, all while staying within the prescriptive Bonneville County street right-of-way of 49th N St. The transmission line then leaves the 49th N St right-of-way and heads south to the connection point at the north end of the original townsite passing through existing farmland. This farmland will be converted to a housing subdivision by a private developer simultaneous with the construction of this project. The potential environmental impacts are now discussed. The site structures on the hillside in current fenced rangeland could potentially impact the physical aspects of the land (typography, geology, soils and climate), local flora and fauna, and groundwater quality including the Safe Drinking Water Act by excavation and well drilling but only to a miner temporary extent. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 6 The transmission line to be placed from the storage tank to the city distribution system could potentially impact the physical aspects of the land (typography, geology, soils and climate), local flora and fauna, surface water quality in the canals and farmland by excavation, but only to a minor temporary extent. Both the site structures and transmission line will impact population, economics and social profile of those who will benefit from the project through increased user rates. There is potential that the project will enable the development of additional new housing projects, which would increase the population that is assessed bond payback fees through user rates and water connection fees, thus lessening the impact on existing consumers. All these impacts will be fully scrutinized in detail and the extent of the potential impact analyzed in the following sections of this document. There is a floodplain only on the border of the PPA in one location. There are no wetlands in the PPA. There are no wild and scenic river segments in the entirety of Bonneville County. There are no prime farmlands within the PPA. Surface water quality could be impacted during construction if pipe crossings beneath the canals were not appropriately completed and mitigation for long term discharge of drain and overflow water from the water storage tank and into the canal were not addressed. There are no known sub -surface disposal systems nearby except for those associated with single family residences. 3.5 Permit Requirements Permit requirements for this project developed through the environmental review process are listed below: • Eastern Idaho Railroad encroachment permit for installation of casing and carrier pipe beneath the railroad tracks from edge of right-of-way to edge of right-of-way. • USACE/Idaho Department of Water Resources/Idaho Department of Lands Joint Application for Permit will likely be required if the open -cut method is used for waterline installation through and beneath the Hillside Canal and East Center Canal beds. Jack and bore installation methods do not require additional permitting. See also Subsection 4.4.5 for additional information. • Permits from Progressive Irrigation District for permanent installation of casing and water transmission carrier pipes beneath the canal beds of the Hillside Canal and the East Center Canal. • Permit from Progressive Irrigation District to discharge sediment free well drilling water, well development water, well test pump water, storage tank disinfection drain water at end of construction and periodically over the life of the tank and periodic tank overflow water over the life of the tank. • An Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) drilling permit will be required prior to initiation of well drilling. A successful water right transfer to the designated drilling location must precede the drilling permit application for successful permitting. • This project will disturb more than one acre of land and thus will fall under the EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for storm water discharges. This triggers the need for the project contractor to file Notice of Intent (NOI) with the EPA and develop a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 7 project may qualify for a low erosivity waiver as the amount of disturbed ground for this project will be between one and five acres. • A Bonneville County roadway right-of-way permit is required for construction of the transmission line in the 49th N St prescriptive right of way. • Typical State of Idaho electrical, plumbing and HVAC permits and a Bonneville County building permit will be required for the storage tank and well pump station construction. • Application must be made to Rocky Mountain Power for provision of three phase power to operate the new well pump, pump station and storage tank. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 8 4.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 4.1 Description of the Project Planning Area (PPA) 4.1.1 Boundaries of PPA The PPA is bounded by a solid thick line shown on Figure 1 in Section 5.0 of this document. The planning area consists of the sub -development Thomasville Estates (recently renamed Freedom Field Estates) and an 800 foot wide by one half mile long strip of land to the east of it. This area is included in the environmental study area because the Option 1 transmission line route would indeed fall within it to connect to existing waterlines at the north end of the original Iona townsite. Other areas that fall within the PPA is the 49th N St road right-of-way and the area upon the Iona Hill on the far east of the map that falls within the extreme southeast corner of Section 31 of R 39 E and T 3 N and the extreme northeast corner of Section 6 of R 39 E and T 2 N. The new sub -development, Freedom Field Estates, was approved by the City of Iona on May 17, 2018. The developer will be responsible for laying the waterline through the sub - development and onto 49th N St to the Eastern edge of the development. Within the sub - development, the City would only be responsible to pay for the upsize of the waterline to the developer. The City's scope would then be reduced to only that part of the transmission line that is east of the development on 49th N St. and continuing east to the storage tank and well site. This project planning area does not have any industrial features in it. This area consists of farming, range land, street prescriptive right-of-way, motorized access through easement east of 60th E St. The project planning area borders rural residential properties as shown on Figure 1 along the water transmission line alignment. 4.1.2 Key Topographic and Geographic Features The elevation across the PPPA is maximum upon the Iona Hill at the proposed well and storage tank sites and minimum on the valley floor at the original townsite. The elevation of the tank floor will get set approximately no higher than 4,958 feet above sea level (NAVD 1988 datum), which would provide 80 psi to users within the original townsite for a tank with a water depth of 19 feet. The topography within the PPA and the City of Iona are shown on the topographical map given as Figure 2 in Section 5.0. The storage tank and well site are on what is commonly called the Iona Butte or simply the Iona Hill as previously described. The area of the hill at and near the proposed well, pump station and tank sites does not have a natural drainage nearby and consists of sagebrush covered range land sloped between 4-12 percent. 4.1.3 Population Distribution, Industrial and Commercial Features The planning area itself contains no current population. There are no industrial or commercial features in the PPA. Activities within the PPA are farming and ranching. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 9 4.2 Area of Potential Effects (APE) The APE was determined to be the same area as the PPA described in Subsection 3.1 above plus the area within the entire City limit. All positive effects brought about through the implementation of the proposed project are internal to the community and the patrons of the City drinking water system. A map of the APE is given as Figure 3 in Section 5.0. Population for the City of Iona is given later in this section of the document with supporting documentation given in Section 5.0. 4.3 Major Features of Proposed Project The major features of this project are shown on Figure 1 in Section 5.0 and described in detail in Subsection 3.1. This project is purely a drinking water improvement project and does not include any sewer related improvements of any kind. 4.4 Affected Environmental Features 4.4.1 Physical Aspects (Typography, Geology & Soils) The storage tank and well site are on what is commonly called the Iona Hill. This hill is made of basaltic rock overlain with a thin layer of Malm series soil, which is fine sandy loam. The basaltic bedrock is usually at a depth of 22-38 inches. The slope of the ground in this soil ranges from 4 to 12 percent. This soil has moderately rapid permeability and moderate erosion hazard (USDA Soil Conservation Service). Along 49th N St. between the Hillside Canal and the railroad tracks, the soil gives way to Paesl silty clay loam type soil all the way to the connection point of the new water transmission line at the north end of the original townsite. This soil is a silty clay loam in the upper 25 inches and is a gravelly loamy coarse sand to a depth of about 60 inches. The Paesl soil is used heavily for farming as is the case in the area between 49th N St and the original townsite. The slope of the area containing the Paesl soil profile is from zero to two percent. The City of Iona was built on this soil along with a near relative called Paul silty clay loam (USDA Soil Conservation Service). A custom soil report obtained from the USDA website is also given in Section 5.0. The location for the new well, pump station and storage tank are set above elevation of any home in the area. The nearest home will be at least 160 feet northwest of the new infrastructure. With no natural drainage (wet or dry) at or near the new well, pump station and storage tank site and with the site more than likely sloped from 4-12 percent, and with little excavation possible before bedrock is encountered, constructing a small holding pond on the site to capture tank drain water or overflow water may be difficult. If tank drain or overflow water left the site unchecked, there is potential for erosion and damage to private property located west and downslope. There is a possible long-term impact to neighboring property without mitigative effort. To continue this discussion, refer to Subsection 4.4.11. During construction, the soil type is subject to becoming windblown resulting in fugitive dust. This short term potential impact should be mitigated during construction. It is covered in more detail in Subsection 4.4.10 below. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 10 4.4.2 Population The population in the City of Iona was estimated as 1,372 in the year 2010 and 1,896 in the year 2016 by the U.S. Census Bureau (US Census Bureau). The Idaho Department of Commerce estimates Iona's 2017 population to be 2,212 (Applied Geographic Solutions). The growth for the seven year period from 2010 to 2017 based on the Idaho Department of Commerce estimates is 3.0 percent as calculated using the geometric growth formula. The 2017 growth estimate is equivalent to 856 homes near the end of 2017. Both the US Census Bureau and the Applied Geographic Solutions estimates are given in Section 5.0. Over the 30 year loan payback period for this project. We expect that growth in Iona could be so much as to add an average of 21.1 homes per year from 2017 to 2048. This translates to 663 homes over the 31 years for a total of 1,519 homes in the year 2048 (Schiess & Associates, PC). This is a similar growth rate to that seen in the past seven years. The life of the storage tank, well & pump station and transmission line will far exceed 30 years. Over the life of the loan, the population may surpass a 500 residential unit increase. 4.4.3 Economics and Social Profile The median household income for City of Iona according to the US Census Bureau is $60,500 as of 2016. The percentage of population below the income poverty rate for City of Iona is 5.1 percent (US Census Bureau). A one page copy of the US Census Bureau data is also given in Section 5.0. The Idaho Department of Commerce has also made available on their website a demographic profile including social profile and income (Applied Geographic Solutions). A color copy of this demographics report is given in Section 5.0. This project will affect all people in the community with higher fees for residential water service, including low-income and minority groups. However, all will enjoy the benefits of a higher level of water service resulting from the project. We do not see any benefit accruing from this project that could be considered discriminatory to any segment of the population. If this project facilitates additional development, all residents will experience an economic benefit through quicker loan payoff due to an expansion of the water reserve account through equitable collection of connection fees and through additional residents to help pay off the loan. The water connection fee was recently raised to ensure that new residents "bought in" to the system on an equal basis with existing residents (Schiess & Associates, PC). We do not see significant economic impact to any resident that will enjoy the benefits of an improved community water system. 4.4.4 Floodplain Development Maureen O'Shea from Idaho Department of Water Resources responded by email on March 26, 2018. This response letter is given in Section 7.0 of this document. This email concluded that the project may not impact the floodplain. In the event the waterline will touch AO Zone just east of the railroad tracks along 49th N St, a floodplain development permit may be required by Bonneville County. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 11 In Section 5.0, an official copy of a portion of the flood map for the area is given and is noted as possible one foot of depth near 49th N St prescriptive right-of-way. The AO Zone is hemmed in to the west by the Eastern Idaho Railroad tracks, which indicates that the railroad ballast and berm act as dam for the flood water, keeping the flood water in the farm field directly east. As the railroad bed is high, so is 49th N St relative to the subject farm ground to enable crossing the railroad tracks in an automobile. The waterline will either be placed in the traveled lane of 49 N St or the shoulder which will be higher than the one foot flood potential. Thus, we do not see any impact of this AO Zone bordering this project along 49th N St near the railroad crossing. In the event flooding did occur, it would be of little consequence as the affected project element is merely a pressured buried pipeline. A flood at this point near the intersection of 49th N St and the railroad tracks will have no affect on the construction or life of the waterline in a 100 year event. 4.4.5 Wetlands James Joyner of the Corps of Engineers responded by letter on May 4, 2018. This letter concluded that the project is located within uplands except for the crossing of the Hillside and East Center Canals. These canals are considered Waters of the United States. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires that a DA permit be obtained for discharge of dredged and/or fill material into Waters of the US including jurisdictional wetlands. The Corps of Engineers response letter is given in Section 7.0 of this document. This permit will not be required if the water transmission line is installed beneath the bed of these canals with jack and bore type methods in a manner that the Waters of the US are not disturbed. This type of encroachment method is covered under USACE Nationwide Permit 12 (Brochue). With this installation method, there should be no short or long term impacts to the canals or water quality in the canal as a result of pipeline installation operations. 4.4.6 Wild and Scenic Rivers There are no wild and scenic rivers in the proposed project planning area. The nearest river designated as wild and scenic is the Snake River approximately eight miles east of the community. The section of the Snake River designated as wild and scenic is on the western edge of Idaho from below Hells Canyon Dam which is hundreds of miles down steam of the proposed project. A portion of the South Fork of the Snake River and some of its headwaters 50 or more miles to the east in Wyoming are also designated as wild and scenic. Copies of these wild and scenic Snake River segments are provided in Section 5.0. There will be no impacts to wild and scenic rivers. 4.4.7 Cultural Resources The area designated for the drinking water well, pump station and the storage tank site fall within the areas of concern for both the Shoshone -Bannock Tribes and the Shoshone -Paiute Tribes. No comments were received from these tribes within the allotted 30-day comment period. No comments were received from the Idaho State Historical Preservation Officer (SHPO) within the allotted 30 day comment period. Due to the lack of response, we can only assume that there should be no direct or indirect adverse impacts to the historical resources of the State of Idaho and the Indian tribes. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 12 We do believe, however, that proper construction protocols should still be in place in the event some archeological resource is discovered during construction. This is discussed in detail in Section 8.0. 4.4.8 Flora and Fauna Animal and plant life is typical of foothills east of Idaho Falls. Foothills are covered with sagebrush and other common flora to this area. Much of the area would be considered rangeland prior to development. There are no low lying areas, north slopes and gullies on the well, pump station and storage tank site and thus no brushy woody plants. Wildlife habitat would consist of coyote, fox, rabbit, pheasant, chukar/partridge, grouse, doves and birds of prey, many reptiles, badger and an occasional cougar. Big game would include deer and an occasional presence of moose and elk. According to the memo produced by Adam Oliver of Idaho DEQ dated March 27, 2018, there are no critical habitats within the PPA. There are no federally listed, proposed or candidate species within the PPA. There is no essential fish habitat within the PPPA. Therefore, this project will have no effect on federally listed, proposed or candidate species or critical habitat and will have no effect on essential fish habitat. 4.4.9 Prime Farmlands According to Trudy Pink, Area Resource Soil Scientist for USDA-NRCS office in Pocatello, the proposed project has a small footprint and does not directly convert farmland. The proposed project is exempt from the Farmland Protection Policy Act. Therefore, there will be no adverse impact to prime farmland due to this project. 4.4.10 Air Quality With the rural nature of this project, air quality is normally affected by spring and summer windstorms that carry dust from range and farm lands and smoky air typical of summer and fall from nearby and far away range and forest fires. There is little noise concern in this area. We received no response from James Werntz of the USEPA, Idaho Operations Office in Pocatello. This project should have no long-term effect on air quality and no short-term affect if temporary mitigative measures (BMP's) are implemented during construction. Control of fugitive dust is required under Idaho law. Additionally, construction debris and other wastes are strictly prohibited from open burning and must be accumulated and disposed in a licensed landfill. 4.4.11 Surface Water Quality There are no surface water features on or adjacent to the property earmarked for installation of the well, pump station and storage tank. The nearest and only surface water features are the Hillside Canal located adjacent to Foothill Road at the terminus point of 49th N St and the East Center Canal at the intersection of 49th N St and 55th E St. This project requires passage below these irrigation canals that have been determined to be Waters of the US by the USACE with a water transmission line. These water bodies will not be impacted in any way if jack and bore techniques are used to install a casing pipe beneath the canal beds. If open -cut is used to cross underneath the canal bed, then a Section 404 permit will likely be required. See also Subsections 3.5 and 4.4.5. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 13 Any runoff from the tank and well site should be maintained on -site. If the overflow and drain water from the tank is piped downhill to the canal, the overflow pipe should be constructed in a manner not to allow transport of sediment into the canal or impair the canal at the entry point. One potential adverse impact is the need to have a place for storage tank drain water and overflow water to go. This is needed near the end of storage tank construction to remove and dispose of water with a high chlorine concentration that was used for tank disinfection. A disposal location must also be sought for water periodically drained from the tank and for tank overflow in the event tank water level sensing equipment fails to turn off pumps and water overflows out of the tank. With the steep slope of the hillside and the basaltic bedrock below which will likely impair drain water from full containment on site, perhaps a location, such as the Hillside Canal should be targeted for overflow water and highly concentrated disinfection water to avoid overland flow of overflow water off -site and onto private property. Another potential adverse impact to canal water quality is if highly concentrated chlorine disinfection water from the storage tank was released from the storage tank near the end of the tank construction process and allowed to enter the Hillside Canal. The water should be treated prior to entry into the canal. We spoke with the City Public Works Director about this issue (Prouse). He has had experience with draining chlorinated water from the existing City water storage tank one mile south of the proposed storage tank and its entering the adjacent Gardner Canal. The City is in possession of a dechlorinating diffuser device that can be attached to the open end of a tank drain/overflow pipe prior to discharge that removes the chlorine from the water. This appears to be an acceptable mitigating solution to prevent degradation of water quality in the Hillside Canal. Final determination of the appropriate mitigation should be accomplished as part of the tank design and permitting process with Progressive Irrigation District, the owner of the Hillside Canal. The contractor of the project will be required to prepare a SWPPP and file an EPA Stormwater NOI according the William Teuscher of DEQ in his response dated March 28, 2018. See also Subsection 3.5. 4.4.12 Ground Water This project includes a new drinking water well capable of producing in the range of 1,500 to 2,000 gpm. The well will likely be at least 365 feet deep and could easily surpass 400 feet deep. Prior to obtaining a drilling permit, the City must transfer its existing water rights to the new well site as a new point of diversion and possibly be required to obtain additional water rights. Any application of transfer is likely to be protested. This has the potential of significantly delaying the well drilling portion of the project according to Dennis Dunn of IDWR in his response dated March 23, 2018. Groundwater quality appears to be acceptable as there are drinking water wells nearby. Four nearby residential drinking water well logs obtained from IDWR are provided in Section 5.0. A fifth well log of interest is the City well located just under one mile south along the same elevation on the hillside as the well proposed for this project and is provided in the Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 14 original water master plan (CH2MHILL). This well was drilled 365 feet deep and had a static water level of 207 feet at the time of drilling in 1971. Water quality of this well has been good. Ground water at this wellsite is expected to be found at approximately 200 feet below the ground surface. The Jerry Ferguson home well is the nearest well to the proposed well. This well is also at nearly the same elevation as the proposed community well; and the static water level in that well was 191 feet below the ground surface when the well was drilled in 1975. Although no documented study of the ground water flow direction is known by the author, the expected flow direction of the ground water at this well drilling site would be either west or west-southwest and feeding the Snake Plain Aquifer whose Eastern boundary lies near where the hill and valley floor meet at approximately 2,000 feet west of the well site. The Snake Plain Aquifer boundary map given as Figure 4 in Section 5.0 shows the eastern edge of the Snake Plain Aquifer at 49th N St and for some distance north and south of 49th N St. There is always a potential to contaminate the aquifer during the drilling process. Drilling will be conducted by a properly state licensed driller. The well driller will be required to obtain a state drilling permit (See Subsection 3.5) prior to drilling the well and follow permit requirements. Under these circumstances, contamination of the aquifer during drilling should not occur. After the well is constructed, access to the well head will be protected with lock and key. Therefore, there should be no short-term or long-term impacts to groundwater quality resulting from well drilling operations and well operations once the well is completed and a well pump is set in place. See also the next paragraph. 4.4.13 Safe Drinking Water Act The pump station will likely be fitted with a permanent diesel driven backup water generator. Therefore, approximately 500 gallons of diesel fuel will be stored on the site to operate the generator. Thus, there is a mild risk of subsurface contamination that could adversely affect a sole source aquifer or its source area. To mitigate this mild risk, the Idaho Drinking Water Rules will be followed for storage of diesel fuel on the well site. This includes double wall tankage, containment tankage and any other mitigative measures required in the Idaho Drinking Water Rules. With proper mitigative measures in place, there should be no impact to the groundwater quality in the area. 4.4.14 Reuse/Land Application or Subsurface Disposal System There is no reuse/land application or subsurface disposal system in this project. This project is entirely a drinking water project. No subsurface disposal system of any type of treated wastewater lies within the project planning area. The storage tank will be located as near as 160 feet to the nearest home as shown on the color easement map attached to the second amendment to the original water master plan (Schiess & Associates, PC). This distance still falls outside of the 100 foot separation distance rule between a well and drainfield in the Idaho Drinking Water Rules. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 15 To comply with the Idaho Drinking Water Rules, the well pump station will likely be fitted with a very small subsurface drain for miscellaneous water used for cleaning the pump station floor or capture of any water leak occurring within the building. Such a subsurface drain would be located at least 30 feet down gradient from the well.

They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nres/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/? cid=nres142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically.

They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity. Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries. Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil 5 Custom Soil Resource Report scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research. The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map. The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from one point to another across the landscape. Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties. While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil. Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date. After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and 6 Custom Soil Resource Report identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately. 7 Soil Map The soil map section includes the soil map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil map units on the map and extent of each map unit, and cartographic symbols displayed on the map. Also presented are various metadata about data used to produce the map, and a description of each soil map unit. 8 o00ab N „8£,T£ o£b Y. 1 N .8£,Z£ °Eb 1 s A_ � 00L9Zb 00b9Zb MI,P.io40l OOL9Zb 146ti 3 008SZb 6 b8SJM NZT euoZ wln :sap a6P3 178SJM :saaeulpi000 aawoo aopaaaw qam : uopoafad dew 0009 000Z 0001- 009 0 laeli 006 009 00£ 096 0 slaw 0099Z4 OOOLZb 00L9Z17 0069Zb 0069Z17 0099Z17 0099Z17 deW Hos podeH eamoseH Hos wolsno 'pays GS'8 X „TT) adeaspuel y uo pa;uud J! 000'£T: T :aims deW 00Z9Z4 00Z9Zb 006107 009bZb V 00£hZb 0. uH%0gr=-9q�.aQ 1ij o rezm rivn M LT,95 °ITT 006bZb 00917Z17 00EVZ4 A N.8£,TE o£b N.8£ ZE oEb Custom Soil Resource Report Area of Interest (AOI) 0 Soils 1 1 MAP LEGEND Area of Interest (AOI) Soil Map Unit Polygons ✓ wr Soil Map Unit Lines • Soil Map Unit Points Special Point Features Blowout ® Borrow Pit Clay Spot ▪ Closed Depression • Gravel Pit Gravelly Spot • Landfill Lava Flow 41§, Marsh or swamp Mine or Quarry ▪ Miscellaneous Water Perennial Water Rock Outcrop ▪ Saline Spot d Sandy Spot Severely Eroded Spot Sinkhole Slide or Slip oa Sodic Spot ▪ Spoil Area 0 Stony Spot 455 Very Stony Spot Wet Spot ▪ Other .� Special Line Features Water Features Streams and Canals Transportation MAP INFORMATION The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at 1:24,000.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. 11 Custom Soil Resource Report The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example. 12 Custom Soil Resource Report Bonneville County Area, Idaho 1—Ammon silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes Map Unit Setting National map unit symbol: 2tkn Elevation: 4,200 to 5,800 feet Mean annual precipitation: 8 to 12 inches Mean annual air temperature: 41 to 46 degrees F Frost -free period: 94 to 126 days Farmland classification: Prime farmland if irrigated Map Unit Composition Ammon and similar soils: 80 percent Estimates are based on observations, descriptions, and transects of the mapunit.

RELATED LINKS Hells Canyon National Recreation Area (U.S. Forest Service) Wild & Scenic Rivers — Wallowa - Whitman National Forest Snake River Lottery Heller Bar Boat Launch (Bureau of Land Management) Snake River Recreation Plan Photo Credit: Tim Palmer Snake River The Snake River likely got its name from the first European explorers who misinterpreted the sign made by the Shoshone people who identified themselves in sign language by moving the hand in a swimming motion which appeared to these explorers to be a "snake." It actually signified that they lived near the river with many fish. In the 1950's, the name "Hells Canyon" was borrowed from Hells Canyon Creek, which enters the river near what is now Hells Canyon Dam. The Hells Canyon area was once home to Shoshone and Nez Perce tribes. According to the Nez Perce tribe, Coyote dug the Snake River Canyon in a day to protect the people on the west side of the river from the Seven Devils, a band of evil spirits living in the mountain range to the east. In the late nineteenth century, the military drove the Native Americans out and settlers began ranching and mining in the canyon. Today, boaters can explore archaeological sites and old homesteads, all part of the canyon's rich, colorful history. Hells Canyon is one of the most imposing river gorges in the West. Until a million years ago, the Owyhee Mountains acted as a dam between the Snake River and its current confluence with the Columbia River, creating a vast lake in what is now southwestern Idaho. When the mountains were finally breached, the Snake roared northward, cutting a giant chasm through the volcanic rock. The resulting canyon, roughly ten miles across, is not as dramatic as the Grand Canyon. However, when the surrounding peaks are visible from the river, the sense of depth is tremendous. The adjacent ridges average 5,500' above the river. He Devil Mountain, tallest of the Seven Devils (9,393') towers almost 8,000' above the river, creating the deepest gorge in the United States. The river is as big as the landscape. Below Hells Canyon Dam, the Snake usually carries more water than the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Below the confluence with the Salmon River, flows average 35,000 cfs and often peak over 100,000 when the Salmon is high. Further downstream, the Clearwater and other rivers dump their flows into the Snake River, creating the Columbia River's largest tributary. (The total drainage area is approximately the size of Oregon.) The outstandingly remarkable values of the Wild and Scenic Snake River are scenery, recreation, geology, wildlife, fisheries, cultural resources, vegetation/botany and ecology. Is Hells Canyon The Deepest? It's often claimed that Hells Canyon is the deepest canyon in the United States. But is it? It all depends on how you define a canyon and where you measure it. The highest point above the Snake River is He Devil Mountain in Idaho, a bit less than 7,900 feet above the water and 6 miles away. The other side of the Snake River is Bear Mountain in Oregon, which is only around 5,400 feet. By comparison, Spanish Mountain rises 8,240 feet above the Kings River in California and is only 4 miles away. The highest point on the other side of the river, coincidentally, is also around 5,400 feet. And again, depending on where you measure and how you define a canyon, several sections of the Middle and South Forks of the Kings River have an average rise of 6,500 to 7,700 feet. So why is there a dispute over whether Kings Canyon or Hells Canyon is deeper? Kings Canyon is a much more open landscape; Hells Canyon 'feels' like a canyon. But as someone pointed out, hey, the National Park Service calls it Kings Canyon National Park for a reason. By the way, the Grand Canyon —which no one would dispute as a canyon River recreational use is limited for all user groups (private float and power boat; commercial float and power boats) for each segment of river and within primary and secondary use seasons. Permits are required yearlong for use on the river by float or power boats and are available through www.rec.gov.com. —"only" reaches a depth of 6,093 feet from the river to the North Rim.

Rockefeller Memorial Parkway and the Bridger-Teton National Forest. The river lies at the heart of the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA), often referred to as one of the last intact functioning temperate ecosystems on earth (U.S. House of Representatives 1985; Keiter and Boyce 1991; Schullery 1997). Thus, the rivers included in the Snake River Headwaters Legacy Act of 2009 (PL 111-11) are among the most pristine in the nation.

There appears to be no long term adverse impacts to human -made and natural features in the environment if construction occurs in conformance with governing rules, standards and the permits that will be issued prior to the performance of the work. To summarize, there are some short-term adverse impacts possible during the construction period. These include common construction and well drilling noise, potential for dust and storm water erosion and potential for surface water contamination and impairment during the water transmission line installation and tank construction processes and aquifer contamination during the well drilling process. These can all be mitigated with proper design and construction techniques. 6.2 Obvious Areas of Beneficial or Adverse Impacts not Covered Previously The beneficial impacts to the construction of a storage tank, well and well pump station and transmission line include improved fire flow storage for the City of Iona, improved water supply capability to a broader area within the impact area of the City (area between the storage tank, well and well pump station and the connection points to the existing City water distribution system), improved pressure during peak flow periods, redundancy in the system which limits risk of running short of water when needed and more water supply capacity to better serve current and future residents. The large transmission line laid in the City impact area of Bonneville County may also spur additional development and City expansion. The system will provide these benefits far beyond the payback period of the loan. The storage tank concept located on a hill —as opposed to a ground level storage tank and booster pump station —is simple to operate and maintain, resulting in low operation and maintenance costs for the entire service life of the project components. Finally, there is a potential for surface water harm primarily at the Hillside Canal if subsurface boring allowed canal water to pipe through the canal bed and out to the ground surface around the casing pipe resulting in canal bed and subsequent canal bank failure. This is a construction risk that must be mitigated with proper design and construction. 6.3 Beneficial and Adverse Impacts Not Considered The project will have a negative impact to the rate payers of the system with increased water rates. Over time, the impact of the increased water rates will be reduced due to the likelihood that this project may attract new housing development and thus additional ratepayers, thus lessening the impact on the current population for a shorter time period. There are no other known impacts, beneficial or adverse, that have not been considered in this evaluation. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 18 6.4 Unavoidable Adverse Impacts To our knowledge, there are no unavoidable adverse impacts that cannot be fully mitigated. 6.5 Positive Beneficial Impacts To our knowledge, there are no other positive beneficial impacts that have not been discussed previously in this document.

The remainder of the proposed project site appears to be upland. Your proposed project site is located within Section 1 of Township 2 North, Range 38 East, Section 6 of Township 2 North, Range 29 East and Section 31 of Township 3 North, Range 39 East, near latitude 43.537078° N and longitude -111.925944° W, in Bonneville County, in Iona, Idaho. Your request has been assigned file number NWW- 2018-174-102, which should be referred to in future correspondence with our office regarding this site. Enclosed are two copies of the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form. Please review the document and any attachments thereto. If you consent to jurisdiction as set forth, please sign both copies, return one copy to the Corps at the address in the above letterhead and keep the other copy for your records. This PJD shall remain in effect unless an approved jurisdictional determination is requested or new information supporting a revision is provided to this office. Although this determination is advisory in nature and may not be appealed under the Corps of Engineers Administrative Appeal Procedures, as defined in 33 CFR 331, the enclosed Notification of Administrative Appeal Options and Process Fact Sheet and Request for Appeal Form (RFA) explains your options, if you do not agree with this determination. - 2 Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that a DA permit be obtained for the discharge of dredged and/or fill material into Waters of the U.S., including jurisdictional wetlands (33 U.S.C. 1344). Waters of the U.S. include most perennial and intermittent rivers and streams, natural and man-made lakes and ponds, as well as irrigation and drainage canals and ditches that are tributaries to other Waters, and wetlands. A Department of the Army (DA) authorization may be required if you propose to perform work or place dredged and/or fill material into East Center or Hillside Canal. However work in other areas of the project site that are upland would not require DA authorization under Section 404 of the CWA. Please be aware, this ND treats all Waters on the project site as Waters of the U.S. subject to Corps jurisdiction, and may be submitted with a permit application for computation of impacts and compensatory mitigation requirements. This determination applies only to Department of the Army permitting jurisdiction and does not authorize any injury to property or excuse you from compliance with other Federal, State, or local statutes, ordinances, regulations, or requirements which may affect these areas, or work you would propose to conduct in these areas. Please obtain all required permits before starting work in the Waters or wetland areas identified on this property.

The City of Iona is in the final planning phase of developing a water system improvement project which will be funded wholly or in part by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEA) State Revolving Fund (SRF) program. The purpose of this letter is to request your review and response regarding any environmental impacts that your agency may identify for this proposed project pursuant to the IDEQ's state environmental review process which mirrors the National Environmental Policy Act. The proposed project for the City of Iona consists of the following water system improvements: • New water well producing up to 2,000 gpm and associated pump station • New 1,000,000 gallon water storage tank • Water transmission line from the new well/storage tank site to the City distribution grid (Option 1 or Option 2) • SCADA link at the new well/storage tank site • 3.52 cfs of municipal ground water rights The project will enable Iona to comply with the current Idaho Drinking Water Rules (IDAPA 58.01.08). Enclosed is a map outlining the Proposed Project Planning Area (PPPA) and Area of Potential Effect (APE) for all construction activities. This map illustrates the potential locations of proposed project improvements within the PPPA boundary and the APE boundary. For this project, the PPPE boundary and the APE boundary appear to be the same. We request that you advise us of any comments that you may have regarding this project within 30 days so the City of Iona can proceed with the completion of the Environmental Information Document.

It appears the project may not impact the floodplain. A Floodplain Development Permit may be required by Bonneville County in the event the water line will touch the AO Zone just east of the railroad tracks. Zone AO is the flood insurance rate zone that corresponds to the areas of I -percent shallow flooding (usually sheet flow on sloping terrain) where average depths are between 1 and 3 feet. Average flood depths derived from the detailed hydraulic analyses are shown within this zone. In addition, alluvial fan flood hazards are shown as Zone AO on the Flood Insurance Rate Map.

The project consists of the following: • New water well producing up to 2,000 gallons per minute and associated pump station • New 1,000,000 gallon water storage tank • Water transmission line from the new well/storage tank site to the City distribution grid • SCADA link at the new well/storage tank site The project is being proposed to bring the water system up to current standards and to ensure long term functionality of the source, storage, and distribution system. Enclosed are maps of the proposed project planning area and Area of Potential Effect for all construction activities. Summary of Determinations Based on the information presented in the following sections of this memorandum, DEQ has made the following impact determinations: • The proposed project will have "NO EFFECT" on federally listed, proposed, or candidate species or critical habitat. • The proposed project will have "NO EFFECT" on Essential Fish Habitat. Endangered Species Act DEQ utilized the Information Planning and Conservation (IPaC) Tool to aid in determining endangered and threatened species within the Area of Potential Effect (APE). The IPaC Tool can currently be accessed at the following internet address: http://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/ The official species list obtained via the IPaC tool on March 26, 2018, indicated there are no federally listed, proposed, or candidate species, or critical habitat, located within the boundaries of the APE. The output from the IPaC tool is attached to this memorandum. Essential Fish Habitat 1 The project is located outside of all Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) for Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) as identified in the attached EFH map. "All those water bodies occupied or historically accessible" in the identified hydrologic units are considered EFH, according to 50 CFR 660.412. The project will have "NO EFFECT" on Essential Fish Habitat. 2 �% O U H E . R Y B O H N E R C o e u r d ' A l e n e H O O r E H i I S H O E H O M E e r m e w a n L A N A I .

The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq. ), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. 03/26/2018 Event Code: 01 EIFW00-2018-E-01768 2 A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the 'Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats. Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/ comtow.html. Please note: The IPaC module for producing a list of proposed and designated critical habitat is currently incomplete. At this time, we ask that you use the information given below to determine whether your action area falls within a county containing proposed/designated critical habitat for a specific species. If you find that your action falls within a listed county, use the associated links for that species to determine if your action area actually overlaps with the proposed or designated critical habitat.

Mitigation measures are described for each potential impact. 8.1.1 Physical Aspects The plans and specifications for the proposed water supply infrastructure will include short term and long erosion control measures to eliminate the threat of erosion. This will include construction BMP's. 8.1.2 Air Quality No burning of construction waste will be allowed. The contractor must also control fugitive dust during construction. These include the use of water chemicals or dust suppressants during stockpiling, grading operations, prompt removal of materials stored on site or in streets, covering the loads of trucks and covering or hooding any operations that tends to produce dust. 8.1.3 Water Quality The contractor must follow a SWPPP plan and implement storm water BMP's to control storm water runoff during all construction operations. A means of controlling sediment from leaving the site must also be implemented during well drilling, pump station and storage tank construction. If groundwater from the well construction, development or test pumping procedures cannot be contained on -site, the water must be channeled to the Hillside Canal for disposal after removal of the sediment is accomplished or allowed to be disposed on private property located between the well drilling site and the Hillside Canal. A permit for the well drilling from IDWR will be required. This permit will identify any special well drilling requirements that must be followed to comply with the Idaho well drilling rules. Chemicals not meeting National Sanitation Foundation requirements cannot be used in the drilling and well construction process. Water used for storage tank disinfection must be disposed of on site, on neighboring private property (if permission is granted) or a suitable means of reducing the chlorine concentration to drinking water levels before allowing discharge into the Hillside Canal. The City of Iona has a dechlorinating diffuser device that they could use to dechlorinate disinfection water before it is discharged into the Hillside Canal. A permit from Progressive Irrigation District will be required to discharge any water of any kind during and after construction into the Hillside Canal. Permits from Progressive Irrigation District are required install casing and water transmission line carrier pipes beneath the Hillside and East Center Canals. USACE Nationwide Permit 12 must be followed in the installation of these pipes if jack and bore techniques are used. A USACE/IDWR Idaho Department of Lands Joint Application for Permit must be obtained and followed for open -cut installation of these pipes. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 21 To mitigate the mild risk of groundwater contamination due to limited storage of diesel fuel on -site to power a standby generator, the Idaho Drinking Water Rules will be followed for storage of diesel fuel on the well site. This includes double wall tankage and containment measures. 8.1.4 Cultural Resources Although cultural resources were not identified as impacted in this document, the potential exists since construction of the new well, pump station and storage tank will occur on undisturbed earth. If during construction, a potential archeological resource was discovered, construction should be halted immediately by the owner's contractor to enable the SHPO and Tribal HeTO personnel to provide guidance and direction on what to do. 8.1.5 Hazardous Waste Accidental surface spills of petroleum hydrocarbon products of 25 gallons or more are required to be reported within two hours in accordance with IDAPA 58.01.02.851 and 852. 8.2 Means of Achieving Mitigation Measures 8.2.1 Physical Aspects Storm water BMP's which will be identified for controlling storm water runoff from the project are enforceable through the EPA under the conditions of the Construction General Permit. The SWPPP plan prepared by the owner's contractor in conformance with the engineer's stormwater erosion control plan. The SWPPP will identify periodic monitoring to ensure storm water BMP's are in place and functioning. Monitoring will be conducted by the contractor. Contractors work will be periodically observed by the owner and engineer. Iona has the authority and the ability to ensure the provisions of the SWPPP for project work are followed through payment or non-payment to the contractor responsible for implementing the SWPPP. The engineer will have the opportunity to recommend payment or non-payment of the contractor's work to Iona for implementation or non -implementation of storm water erosion control measures. DEQ retains authority to review the plans and specifications of this project including stormwater BMP's and periodic contractor pay requests. 8.2.2 Air Quality The proper disposal of construction debris and dust control will be written into construction documents prepared by the owner's engineer. The contractor will be reminded of these obligations during the preconstruction conference and subsequent progress meetings if necessary. Periodic inspection by Iona or their engineer will ensure that no -burn policies and dust control measures are implemented. The Owner will have non-payment authority if satisfactory compliance is not achieved. The engineer will have the opportunity to recommend payment or non-payment of the contractor's work to Iona for implementation or non -implementation of air quality mitigation measures. DEQ retains authority to review the plans and specifications of this project including dust control measures and burning of construction wastes when reviewing periodic contractor pay requests. A no -burn policy is also enforceable directly by DEQ. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 22 8.2.3 Energy Energy efficiency efforts for this project are identified in the conditions of the construction loan offer from DEQ under Section V.D. Reporting of these efforts will be via a technical memorandum prepared and submitted by the engineer addressing Green Project Reserve (GPR) components included in the project during the design phase of the project. DEQ, through the standard plan and specification review process, retains review authority of all plans and specifications of this project including energy efficiency goals. 8.2.4 Water Quality Proper treatment of excess water from well construction operations is enforceable through the EPA under the conditions of the Construction General NPDES Permit. The SWPPP plan prepared and implemented by the owner's contractor (in accordance to the sediment and erosion control plan prepared by the engineer as part of the design) will identify periodic monitoring to ensure BMP's for well water and construction discharge mitigation measures are in place and functioning. Monitoring of SWPPP will be conducted by the contractor. Contractors work will be periodically observed by the owner and engineer. DEQ, through the standard plan and specification review process, retains review authority of all plans and specifications of this project. DEQ may also allow 1DWR to review the well drilling plans and specifications for compliance with the Idaho Well Construction Standards Rules. IDWR will also conduct its own inspections during the well drilling process to ascertain compliance with the well drilling permit requirements and Idaho Well Construction Standards Rules. Iona has the authority and the ability to ensure the provisions of the SWPPP, well drilling and Progressive Irrigation permits are followed through payment or non-payment to the contractor responsible for complying with permit requirements and execution of the work. The engineer will have the opportunity to recommend payment or non-payment of the contractor's work regarding implementation of all water quality related permit requirements. 8.2.5 Cultural Resources The following should be written into construction documents and specifications to protect any critical resources found: "In the event of an inadvertent discovery (cultural resources and/or human remains) the Owner or Contractor will immediately call the Idaho SHPO office at (208)334-3861. The City will work with the Idaho SHPO and notify tribal HeTO personnel if warranted." DEQ, through the standard plan and specification review process, retains review authority of all plans and specifications of this project including provisions that ensure the protection of cultural resources. The Contractor will also be advised of his role in archeological preservation during the preconstruction conference. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 23 Periodic inspection by the Owner or engineer shall observe when on site for any sign of archeological significance. Iona has the authority and the ability to ensure the provisions concerning preservation of cultural resources are followed through payment or non-payment to the contractor responsible for the work. Further, Iona has authority to stop contractor's work if cultural resources are found and not reported. 8.2.6 Public Health Since the new well, pump station and storage tank will be located within Bonneville County and outside the confines of the city, Iona should review with District 7 Health Department any septic tank permit application located near the new well, pump station and storage tank to ensure separation distances are met prior to the health department approving a septic tank and drainfield permit. 8.2.7 Hazardous Waste Construction documents will require proper care of petroleum products used by contractor during construction that may temporarily be stored on site. Periodic inspection by Iona or their engineer will ensure that measures and proper care of petroleum products are followed. Iona will have non-payment authority if satisfactory compliance is not achieved. The engineer will have the opportunity to recommend non-payment of the contractor's work if compliance is not achieved. DEQ through the standard plan and specification review process retains review authority of all plans and specifications of this project including addressing of proper disposal of accidental surface spills of petroleum products. Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 24 9.0 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION 9.1 Public Review of Proposed Project and Environmental Impact The public had opportunity to review and comment on the proposed project and environmental impacts during a public comment period prior to the bond election held on November 7, 2018. This section describes the efforts undertaken by the City to inform the public and invite comment prior to the bond election. 9.2 Public Meetings The City of Iona scheduled and held two public information meetings about the project. The first meeting was held on October 12, 2017, the second on November 2, 2017. The City newsletters for October and November were mailed to each citizen as part of their utility bill inviting participation and feedback. The meetings were planned to explain the need for water system improvements and describe the City's plan for those improvements and invite informed comment. Prior to each meeting, the City sent to each patron along with their monthly utility bill a City published newsletter and a question and answer list describing the details of the project. These newsletters and the question and answer lists are provided at the end of this section. The formal meeting agenda and the meeting minutes for both public meetings are also provided. The meeting minutes include a list of attendees at each meeting. 9.3 Substantial Issues Throughout the year 2017, water meters became a hot topic in Iona. The meeting minutes for the October 12, 2017 meeting refer to a survey that the City invited the residents to take. The residents expressed a popular desire to exclude service line water meters from any improvements proj ect. Rates as high as an additional $19 per month were discussed as possible. The amount of rate increase was certainly considered a substantial issue. 9.4 Address Substantial Public Concerns Councilmember Garren noted that this project does not include service line water meters in the October 12, 2017 meeting. Rates could be lower if grant funding from the US Army Corps of Engineers can be obtained and if the lesser cost Alternative 1 is implemented (Schiess & Associates, PC). Also, as more money from water connection fees comes into the City and the cost of the loan payback is spread across more patrons, the City could potentially pay the loan off early. Meetings were generally positive as is indicated in the meeting minutes prepared by the City Clerk after the meetings were held. 9.5 Address State and Federal Agencies Comments These meetings were held prior to the bond election, prior to preparation of the second amendment to the original water master plan (CH2MHILL) and prior to seeking environmental input from state and federal agencies. Consultation letters describing the scope of the project along with a map showing the proposed improvements were sent to applicable state and federal Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 25 agencies after DEQ reviewed and approved the second amendment to the original water master plan and after DEQ made a loan offer to the City of Iona. As is customary, these government agencies were invited to comment on the environmental impacts of the project. Agency responses have been read, compiled and addressed in the applicable sections of this document and are also attached in Section 7. 9.6 Public Information Meetings Documentation • October 2017 City of Iona Newsletter • City of Iona October 12, 2017 Public Information Meeting Q&A Flyer • Agenda for October 12, 2017 Public Information Meeting • Minutes of October 12, 2017 Public Information Meeting • November 2017 City of Iona Newsletter • City of Iona November 2, 2017 Public Information Meeting Q&A Flyer • Agenda for November 2, 2017 Public Information Meeting • Minutes of November 2, 2017 Public Information Meeting Schiess & Associates 17027 City of Iona Environmental Information Document May 2018 26 City of Iona Newsletter 3548 N Main, Iona, ID 83427 Website: cityofiona.org Email: cityclerk@cityofiona.org Phone: 523-5600 Fax: 535-0087 Planning and Zoning Meeting: October 11, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. City Council Meeting: October 17, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. Meet the Candidates Night: October 17, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. COMMUNI TY "Meet the Candidates Night" - The public is invited to a Meet the Candidates Night on October 17, 2017 at the Iona City Building located at 3548 N.

I ONA PI ONEER FAMI LY MEMORI AL DEDI CATI ON Please join us on Thursday, October 12th at 6:00 p.m. in front of the City Hall building for the I ona Pioneer Family Memorial Dedication. WHY THI S MONUMENT? — Over ten years ago, Iona resident and sculptor John Price, approached the City with an idea to memorialize the pioneer families who came to what would become Iona in 1883 and first settled this part of the valley. His plan was to make a life- size bronze monument of a pioneer family symbolic of those families who came to a desolate, inhospitable, and unlikely spot in the Snake River valley to carve out their homes and their futures at great cost and suffering. This was not an easy or hospitable place to settle and survive. The only residents in this part of the valley at the time were jack rabbits, coyotes, and snakes. The Native American tribes had been removed by the US Government years earlier. The climate was harsh and cold. The early settlers found that often there was a killing frost every month of the year. This is a volcanic plain that is fertile but dry and semi -arid. There are only a few inches of rain a year and not much snow, not nearly enough to support any crops except some grass a few hardy weeds. And sagebrush. There was water here, but only in a few streams and rivers that came down out of the mountains and fed into the Snake River at the bottom of its shallow valley. It is said that "Water is Life" and the pioneers had to bring water in hand dug canals and ditches in order to give life to the land. They had to dig the waterways literally with picks and shovels and horses pulling scrapers for miles in order to bring life giving water from the closes streams. Some of those antique waterways still serve the valley today. Where the fertile volcanic soil and enough precious water came together in nature, "sagebrush as tall as a man on a horse", covered the land where they needed to grow their crops for next season. The thick sagebrush all had to be cut down, rooted, and burned before the first seeds could be planted. The next year in 1884, Mormon church officials came to visit and try to encourage the discouraged settlers. With the people still living in tents or rude cabins, Mormon apostle Wildford Woodruff stood in the back of a horse drawn wagon and promised the assembled families that if they would stay strong and determined, God would bless them and their new home. "The Spirit of the Lord rests mightily on me, and I feel to bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. l promise you that the climate will be moderate for your good. l can see these great sagebrush prairies as far as the eye can reach turned into fertile fields. l bless the land that it shall yield forth in its strength. Flowers and trees and fine homes shall grace the valley from one end to another. Schools and colleges of higher learning shall be built to serve you that you may learn the mysteries of God's great universe. l see churches and meeting houses dotting the landscape, where the God of Israel may be worshiped in truth and in spirit. Yes, and as I look into the future of this great valley, l can see temples — one can see beautiful temples erected in the name of the living God, where holy labors may be carried on in His name through generations to come! Take courage, brethren and sisters, for these blessings, though they may seem marvelous in your eyes, nevertheless will be fulfilled according to your faith." Those promises which seemed so impossible and unachievable in 1884, have become known in the community as "The Wagon Box Prophesy" of course, they have all been fulfilled and to the letter. Now this is a welcoming and desirable place where families can live and grow in love and happiness. This is a grand legacy they left us, and makes those early settlers and what they did, well worth remembering and honoring. Their love for each other and their determination to come to a strange and hard land and make it into a fertile place, have made it possible for us to carry on that tradition so that we can enjoy all that we have here 130 years later. WHO WERE THEY? - Most of those early people were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints, often called "Mormons". Most did not want to come here to settle. But it was common then for small groups to be asked by church leaders to leave the Salt Lake valley and go with their families to various areas in Utah and Idaho to settle and start communities. Many towns and cities in this intermountain area were founded by these faithful people. Families were, and are, extremely important to their society. They believed that families are ordained of God and that husband and wife should love and care for each other and for their children in love and righteousness. They worked hard to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. They understood that happiness in families is best established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, respect, love, compassion and honest work. They understood that by divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. And in these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers must help one another as equal partners. This complete monument represents and symbolizes those beliefs in the lives of the pioneers and these concepts are still the best way to achieve success and happiness in our lives today. The sculptured figures of the monument represent what a person living in this valley in 1884 might have looked like. They were not well fed and soft, but lean and tough from long days, sun up to sun down, of hard physical work to clear and prepare the land for crops. These people were survivors. The figures of the monument are modelled from several people from the community who have these same characteristics. Some of the models are descendants of those early pioneers. CREATI NG THE MONUMENT- The monument was made using the ancient technique of casting molten bronze the same way that bronze statues have been made since the time of Rome and Greece. Our monument was made with the `lost wax' method of casting. In this technique, the original figures were modeled in clay by the sculptor. Then the clay models, which are actually ten percent larger than life, were taken to the foundry of the Art Department of Idaho State University. There the clay figures were carefully cut apart and plaster molds were made of each piece. The mother and baby figure were made from almost twenty smaller molds in this way. Wax is then poured into each mold and when cooled, it is carefully removed from the mold. Each piece is an exact wax replica of the original clay part. A funnel shape for pouring the bronze into the mold is added and another mold is then made of the wax piece. This mold is made of plaster and sand so that it will be able to withstand the intense heat that can reach 2,000 degrees F. in the casting process. These molds with the wax still inside, are placed upside down in a gas oven or kiln, and then baked for 24 hours. The wax melts and runs out the funnel opening or evaporates and leaves the inside of the mold completely clean The molds are removed from the kiln, set upright and are ready for pouring the molten bronze. The bronze is melted to a liquid in a gas -fired forge and the crucible is then taken out by two workers and carefully poured into the openings in the top of each mold. The molten bronze takes an hour or so to cool until it is solid metal again. Then the fired mold is broken away. The bronze piece is the exact shape of the original clay model. There is roughness left from the molding process that must be cleaned off by a lot of grinding and finishing but then the twenty or so pieces can be carefully fitted back together and welded into the solid full figure. All those welds are then ground and polished until they are no longer visible and the figure is an exact replica of the original clay model. The four bronze figures of the Pioneer Family Memorial were then mounted to the lava boulder and welded together as a family. They now stand as a tribute to those solid pioneer families who, together, carved our community out of the volcanic desert wilderness. WHAT ARE YOU LOOK! NG AT? - The monument was first proposed about 2007. It was to be a totally volunteer project and efforts began to raise the money that would be necessary. But they did not go very well at first. About 2010, the Iona Lions Club stepped up and volunteered to help raise the money that would be needed. It was still several years of hard work but over time, most of the money was raised and donated by the Iona Lions Club. The Lions Club has been a major participant in the growth of Iona and they have completed and paid for many community projects over the years. As this project progressed, the community came together, the Lions Club held a lot of Fourth of July breakfasts and other projects such as the sale of 100 copies of a beautiful Iona painting by Ramona Horton and with everyone's help, the goal was finally reached. In the meantime, there was plenty of work in preparation for the final monument. Volunteers dug a foundation in the front entry of the Iona Oty building, leveling it with gravel and placing the 20,000 pound basalt lava boulder that would be the foundation. The foundation stone was donated by the City of Idaho Falls under the supervision of Steve Elliot a native of Iona. The big piece of basalt came from the Snake River and is very symbolic of the pioneer efforts to bring precious water to the valley. Idaho Travertine did the stone work, drilling the mounting holes and leveling one face of the stone to place a plaque honoring those original pioneer families of 1883 and 1884. That plaque on the front of the stone was donated by Meredith Taylor On Oct 8 2011, the mother and baby were finished and dedicated. Then in December, the sculptor John Price and his wife Sally left on a mission to Peru and were gone for two years. The mother and baby stood valiantly alone in front of the Iona City building during that time and waited. When John and Sally got back, he went to work on the father and the son and almost had them completed by Aug of 2015, when they went to Central America. The father and the son were stored and waited two years before they were completed and united with the mother and the baby. In July of 2017, a little over ten years after it began, the Pioneer Family was complete and is now together forever. There are about 800 to 1000 pounds of bronze in the monument. The father figure weighs about 400 to 500 lbs. The mother would weigh almost as much with the baby in her arms. The boy is 200 to 250 pounds. They are all hollow and should last for a thousand years. It cost us about $30,000 for molding, foundry and casting of the four figures in molten bronze. That is probably about half of what it would have cost to do commercially, without the generous help of ISU Art Dept. and Caldera Design and Build studio. In the open market, a monument of this size and scope would cost as much as $200,000 dollars! We are so thankful for all the dedicated volunteers in our community who made this profound memorial to those dedicated pioneer families possible!

Question #1: Why is a Bond election necessary? ➢ The bond election is necessary to provide the City with the necessary authority to borrow funds to improve our water system and bring the water system into compliance with federal and state regulations. The City of Iona will seek approval to bond for up to $3,900,000 to provide funding for these upgrades. The bond election will occur during the November general election and will require a simple majority vote (50% + 1) to pass. Question #2: What does the water improvement project include? ➢ Construction of a new water storage tank ➢ Construction of a new well and generator ➢ Distribution improvements Question #3: Why do we need improvements to our water system? ➢ Construct a New Water Storage Tank: A new tank is needed to provide sufficient storage volume to satisfy fire flow requirements and high use times. ➢ Construct a New Well: A new well is needed to provide sufficient system redundancy. The new well will ensure adequate water supply is available during the hot summer months. ➢ Distribution Improvements: A new transmission line is necessary to connect the new well and storage tank to the existing distribution system. This line will be large in diameter and support a strong grid system in the distribution network as recommended in our engineering water studies. Pressure at high use times and fire flows generally will be improved system wide. Question #4: How much will it cost? ➢ The estimated total project cost is $3,900,000. Anticipated loan terms are 3.0% interest payable over 30 years. Question #5: How much will this cost me? ➢ The water rate increase for each residential user is anticipated to be approximately $19.00 per month. This may go down if federal grants are secured and favorable bids are received. Question #6: Will developers pay their fair share? ➢ Yes. The City of Iona now charges new lot developments a fee of $4,859.00 per connection which goes directly into the City's capital reserve fund for equity "buy in" into the system. Question #7: Does the project include water meters at each home? ➢ No. All project funds will be used to improve water supply & water pressure. Question #8: Where will the money come from? ➢ Iona City Reserves ➢ Investment from Developers ➢ Federal Grants ➢ City Bond (up to $3,900,000) Question #9: What if we don't pass the bond? ➢ There will continue to be no redundant well water supply which is out of compliance with state and federal regulations. ➢ System pressure will continue to drop during high use hours through 2018 and then level off. No more homes will be able to be added to the system. Outside watering restrictions could occur. ➢ Fire flow capability will remain at the current level, which is deficient, especially at the LDS church, City Hall and north of Steele Avenue on 55th East.

CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT OCTOBER 12, 2017 — 7:00 P.M. IONA COMMUNITY CENTER PRESENT: Mayor Brad Andersen, Council President Dan Gubler, Council Member Rob Geray, Council Member Dan Gauen, Council Member Kathy McNamara, City Clerk Shara Roberts, Public Works Director Zech Prouse, Public Works Laborer Bryce Stucki, and Officer Dustin Mathie. ABSENT: Chief of Police Karl Bowcutt. VISITORS: Dana Andersen, Shane Williams, Deb Sorenson, Dee Johnson, Dennis & Linda McArthur, Rod & Susan Gardner, Reid Hymas, Pam Theriault, Mike Thompson, Bruce & Merodene Case, Dale & Janet Steele, Susan Moon, John Burnham, Dustin Haderlie, Devin Rowley, Brent Terry, Sally Price, Jacob Goss, Ron & Sue Ulbrich, Mike & Louise Bryan, Emily Downey, Darla Reed, and Steven Reed. Discussion of Water System Improvement Project: Mayor Andersen expressed the purpose of the meeting is to discuss needed improvements to the City's water system. Engineer Paul Scoresby explained that the City has been considering improvements to the City's water system since approximately 2004 when an engineer firm was hired to do an evaluation of the overall condition and performance of the system. In 2008 a second study was initiated, and a capital improvements plan was developed. The City has done some of these improvements through the years using capital improvement funds out of the water fund. Two of the major improvements accomplished were recommissioning well #3 and rehabilitating the existing storage tank on the hill. Mayor Andersen noted smaller improvements which have also been done include the installation of a backup diesel generator and initiating a fire hydrant replacement program throughout the City. He explained previous engineering studies expressed concerns that the hydrants were so outdated there could be a potential to have difficulty connecting to them to access water in case of a fire emergency. He further expressed in terms of capacity the water system is at times exceeding daily demand limits contained in the City's water rights. During the hot summer months all the wells are being used at full capacity and if one was to go down residents wouldn't be able to water their lawns as they have been accustomed to doing. The Council would have to potentially look at a mandatory watering schedule as other jurisdictions have had to implement. The City has reached a point where they have done what they can with the funds available, but now they are looking for approval for a revenue bond to resolve these concerns and set the City up for many more years of service. Council President Gubler asked Engineer Paul Scoresby to discuss in more detail the scope of work the City Council is proposing. 1 Mr. Scoresby reviewed question #2 and question#3 in the informational handout, "Exhibit A" which outlines a breakdown of the scope of work. He explained this project would consist of constructing a new 1 million gallon storage tank and upgrading the transmission line to 16 inches. He also mentioned that the proposed project scope includes the construction of a new well and a generator that would improve redundancy in case one of the other wells goes down. Ted Hendricks with East-Central Idaho Planning & Development Association (ECIPDA) next addressed the financing of the project. He explained his role is to analyze similar communities with similar projects and determine what the project will cost to considering current trends in constructions costs. He reported the City of Iona qualifies for funding assistance in the form of a 30 year low interest 3% loan through the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The citizens have the opportunity to vote during the revenue bond election which is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7th, 2017 to either authorize or disallow the City to borrow the money to fund this project. This would require a simple majority vote to pass. He further explained if the bond passes, it would result in an estimated increase of $19.00 per household in the monthly water bill. As more homes or users come into the community the rate could go down. The other thing that may impact the overall cost of the project depends is whether the construction bid comes in lower than they are anticipating. Mr. Hendricks reported additional funding could become available through the Army Corps of Engineers. For example, the City of Driggs is in the middle of a similar water system improvement project and just received $600,000 to go towards funding their project. If such additional funds are acquired, the monthly increase would likely go down. Mayor Andersen explained that when the scope of work was considered, the cost was based upon a worst case scenario and didn't take into consideration any other additional funding that could lower the overall cost of the project and thereby decrease the monthly impact upon each resident's water bill. Council Member Garren noted that over the course of the last few years the Council has discussed potential solutions to the City's water system problems and that the Water Committee at one point suggested water meters to curb consumption. He believes it's worth noting this project doesn't include water meters, and the reason the Council put together this particular scope of work was based on the water studies conducted and feedback received from a city-wide survey conducted this last Spring. He further expressed this option appeared to be the most popular course of action based on the responses they received. Mayor Andersen expressed the City has done what they were able to do within the yearly budget, but when it comes to the big ticket items, such as the ones they are discussing tonight, there is not enough funding to get the water system where it should be. He then opened up the meeting for questions and comments from the public. 2 Citizen Michael Thompson inquired how much backup would the generator provide in the case of a power outage. Mr. Scoresby explained the minimum requirement from the State is you have to have 8 hours of backup plus fire flow. The new tank would ensure the City would have all the fire flow needed. Mr. Thompson also inquired how many homes the water system currently services. Director Prouse estimated the number of connections to be approximately 850. He further inquired how many homes would be able to be to added to the system and asked if the proposed expansion would serve the City for another 20 years. Mr. Scoresby expressed in terms of storage capacity the City may have to add another well in roughly 30 years based on past and present growth rates. However, this project will set the City's water system up for quite some time. Council President Gubler expressed when the City Council established the scope of work for this project they didn't look at it from an aspect of how long it would allow the City to grow, but rather from a point of fixing the problem which already exists in the system and to allow citizens to continue enjoying what they have. The major focus comes down to pump capacity because during the summer months during peak hour demand the City is exceeding the legal amount they are allowed to pump. The construction of a new storage tank will help alleviate this issue going forward. Citizen Emily Downey expressed the Council has spent a lot of time putting together this project, and she is interested to know which members of the Council and Mayor support the passing of this bond. Mayor Andersen responded they are unanimously behind moving forward with this project, and wouldn't have made decisions to pursue it further if they hadn't been in agreement. However, the citizens of this community will have the opportunity to make the final decision. Council Member McNamara expressed she believes there are things that will come into play which will allow the City to pay off the loan faster and she hopes people will realize these are improvements that need to be accomplished and further expressed she was supportive of the bond. Council Member Garren explained this project has been in the works since about 2004 and had the City elected to take care of it earlier the construction costs would have been lower than they are now. If the City elects to push this off for a few more years constructions costs will continue to rise. Council President Gubler reported about 4 years ago the City missed an opportunity for a 0% interest loan, but at the time there wasn't support for completing the project. As a result the City will pay 3% on top of the increased construction costs. He further expressed it's one of those situations where the sooner the project is completed the less it's going to cost in the overall scheme of things. 3 Citizen Jon Burnham expressed he would like to know a breakdown of the costs of each item under the scope of work. Specifically what is the estimated cost of the new storage tank. Council Member Geray responded it is estimated in the scope of work at approximately $1,000,000. Mr. Burnham inquired what the approximate cost of the construction of the new well and generator is. Mr. Scoresby responded it is roughly estimated at $500,000. Mayor Andersen noted when the scope of work was designed they planned for a worst case scenario so they factored in costs for constructing under lava rock, under the railroad tracks, and canals so the numbers are estimated on the higher end. Council President Gubler informed Mr. Burnham they would make this document available in the City office and on the City website which would help answer some of Mr. Burnham's questions. Mr. Burnham shared concerns with the Council metaphorically recommending they consider buying the fully loaded Chevy instead of a $60,000 Cadillac, meaning he hopes the Council will take into consideration getting the project done without unnecessary frills to ultimately lower the cost of the revenue bond and the impact that will have on monthly water bills. Council Member Geray explained the City Council is certainly not trying to buy the Cadillac of anything. They have always done business conservatively in each department and across the board when it comes to managing the City's budget and they are taking the same approach when it comes to this particular project. He further broke down the summary page of the scope of work for Mr. Burnham to help answer his concerns and questions. Council President Gubler explained the only thing they have included in the scope of work as a "frill" so to speak is increasing the diameter of the transmission line to hopefully offset potential future growth. He further explained the cost to install a pipe in the ground is the same regardless of the size of pipe chosen. However, the City Council opted to pay for the larger diameter pipe of 16 inches instead of 10 inch pipe which currently exists. This will attach to the City's water system in three different locations and collectively add a lot more volume and pressure to the existing system. Citizen Dennis McArthur expressed his gratitude to the City Council and the Mayor for scheduling this meeting to hear what the project consists of and what it will cost. Citizen Ron Ulbrich inquired if the Council has considered only adding more pump capacity and the transmission line without building the tank. Council President Gubler responded they did consider that option, but collectively they agreed the tank would provide better performance for fire flow in the future. Council Member Geray further explained the project is also about reserve capacity and concerns with high demand times in the summer months where the City may exceed its allotted cubic feet 4 per second (cfs). The new tank would allow the City's system to use that storage to supplement the consumption so they ultimately wouldn't be exceeding the allotted cfs, and would allow the City to be more compliant with state regulations. Mayor Andersen explained the concept of senior water rights and junior water rights. The City's main well is a junior water right and was built after 1990 so if the City continues to exceed their allotted flow requirements the State could require the City to reduce the flow drawn from the main well. This project will also provide redundancy and more storage so the City doesn't exceed its peak hour demand limits. Citizen Bruce Case expressed that an increase from $30 a month to $49 a month is a big pill to swallow for a lot of individuals in this community who are on fixed incomes. He further inquired if this was an all or nothing project, or if it could be done in stages as more revenues come in. In closing, he explained they have heard the worst case scenario but not information on a better case scenario if additional money was utilized such as city reserves or grant money. Mayor Andersen expressed the City does try to consider individuals who are on a fixed income and they could potentially look at things on an individual basis. In regards to being an all or nothing project he explained these needed improvements have been identified for many years and outlined in these water planning studies. The City is already behind the 8 ball so to speak when it comes to their water system. He expressed they can no longer piece meal together these deficiencies. Council President Gubler explained the Council will not know total project costs until the project is put out to bid and has considered whether there are other options to reduce costs. The Council is asking for the potential maximum with the hope there will be reduced costs and additional funds to lower the overall cost of this project. Citizen Bruce Case inquired how much the Council is willing to take from the city reserves to help fund this project. Council President Gubler explained to this date the Council has not yet had that discussion. Mayor Andersen further explained the Council would like to keep some money in reserves if there was an opportunity to purchase additional water rights, or if there was a major break in one of the transmission lines. He estimated the number could be in the range of $200,000 to $300,000 but they would need to discuss that further. Mr. Hendricks explained the City is requesting authority to bond up to $3,900,000, but they do not have to issue that amount. There are going to be things that potentially transpire to help save money on this project. Citizen Reid Hymas inquired if there is any indication of how much reserve water would be available in the new tank. 5 Council Member Geray explained it is 1 million gallon tank but will depend entirely on consumption. During peak hour demand in the summer there may not be a lot of progress storing water until the draw on the system declines. Mr. Hymas further inquired if the City has technology that indicates at all times how much water is available in the tank. Mayor Andersen explained the City updated to a SCADA system which provides data acquisition for the water system. Mr. Hymas expressed he moved here about 4 years ago and where he previously lived they paid about $200 a month for water and it was undrinkable. He stated that he didn't mind the increase because he enjoys the water here and that it tastes good. Council Member McNamara expressed this project is for the entire community to continue to enjoy the water service that is provided by the system and that she hopes the water system will continue working for years to come. Citizen Dennis McArthur expressed his gratitude for previous councils who spent the money all those years ago for the system the citizens are able to enjoy now. In closing, he believes the City has an opportunity to improve this system now and for future generations.

Novembet 2, 2017, 7:00 PM 0 City Hall City 4Iona Public I nfoi'mation Meeting Regal -cling Water System I mptovements Please attend and become factually i nf-ormec# a bout this project. Question #1: Why is a Bond election necessary? ➢ The bond election is necessary to provide the City with the necessary authority to borrow funds to improve our water system and bring the water system into compliance with federal and state regulations. The City of Irma will seek approval to bond for up to S3,900,000 to provide finding for these upgrades. The bond election will occur during the November general election and will require a simple majority vote {509/) { 1} to pass. Question #2: What does the water improvement project include? ➢ Construction of a new water storage tank ➢ Construction of a new well and generator • Distribution improvements Question #3: Why do we need improvements to our water system? > Construct a New Water Storage Tank: A new tank is needed to provide sufficient storage volume to satisfy fire flow requirements and high use timers. ▪ Construct a New Well: A new well is needed to provide sufficient system redundancy. The new well will ensure adequate water supply is available during the hot summer months. i' Distribution Improvements: A new transmission line is necessary to connect the new well and storage, tank to the existing distribution system. This line will be large in diameter and support a strong grid system in the distribution network as recommended in our engineering water studies. Pressure at high use times and fire flows generally will be improved system wide. Question 44: Ilow much will it cost? > The e:stimatrxi total project cost is S3,900,000. Anticipated loan terms are 3.01)/D interest payable over 30 years. Question #5: How much will this cost me? F The water rate increase for each residential user is anticipated to be approximately $19.00 per month. This may go down if federal grants are secured and favorable bids are received. Question #6: Will developers pay their fair share? ➢ Yes. The City of Iona now charges new lot developments a fee of S4,859.00 per connection which goes directly into the City's capital reserve fund for equity "buy in" into the system. Question #7: Does the project include water meters at each home? F No. All project funds will be used to improve water supply & water pressure. Question #8: Where will the money come from? ➢ Iona City Reserves A. Investment from Developers ➢ Federal Grants ➢ City Bond (up to $3,900,000) Question #9: What if we don'tpass the bond? ➢ There will continue to be no redundant well water supply which is out of compliance with state and federal regulations. ➢ System pressure will continue to drop during high use hours through 2018 and then level off. No more homes will be able to be added to the system. Outside watering restrictions could occur. A Fire flow capability will remain at the current level, which is deficient, especially at the LDS church, City Hail and north of Steele Avenue on 55th Bast_ AGENDA I Iona City Council Special Public Information Meeting November 2, 2017 — 7:00 p.m. Iona City Hall — 3548 North Main Street 1.

CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NOVEMBER 2, 2017 — 7:00 P.M. IONA COMMUNITY CENTER PRESENT: Mayor Brad Andersen, Council President Dan Gubler, Council Member Rob Geray, Council Member Dan Garren, Council Member Kathy McNamara, City Clerk Shara Roberts, and Public Works Director Zech Prouse. ABSENT: Chief of Police Karl Bowcutt. VISITORS: Bob Davenport, Jason Cariker, Jaden Jackson, Riley Bradshaw, Dave & Angie Huntsman, John Cawley, Kevin Harris, Susan Gardner, Miranda Harrison, and Pam Theriault. Discussion of Water System Improvement Project: Mayor Andersen expressed the purpose of the meeting is to discuss needed improvements to the City's water system. Engineer Paul Scoresby explained that the City has been considering improvements to the City's water system since approximately 2004 when an engineer firm was hired to do an evaluation of the overall condition and performance of the system. In 2008 a second study was initiated, and a capital improvements plan was developed. The City has done some of these improvements through the years using capital improvement funds out of the water fund. Two of the major improvements accomplished were recommissioning well #3 and rehabilitating the existing storage tank on the hill. Mayor Andersen noted smaller improvements which have also been done include the installation of a backup diesel generator and initiating a fire hydrant replacement program throughout the City. He explained previous engineering studies expressed concerns that the hydrants were so outdated there could be a potential to have difficulty connecting to them to access water in case of a fire emergency. He further expressed in terms of capacity the water system is at times exceeding daily demand limits contained in the City's water rights. During the hot summer months all the wells are being used at full capacity and if one was to go down residents wouldn't be able to water their lawns as they have been accustomed to doing. The Council would have to potentially look at a mandatory watering schedule as other jurisdictions have had to implement. The City has reached a point where they have done what they can with the funds available, but now they are looking for approval for a revenue bond to resolve these concerns and set the City up for many more years of service. Mr. Scoresby reviewed question #2 and question#3 in the informational handout, "Exhibit A" which outlines a breakdown of the scope of work. He explained this project would consist of constructing a new 1 million gallon storage tank and upgrading the transmission line to 16 inches. He also mentioned that the proposed project scope includes the construction of a new well and a generator that would improve redundancy in case one of the other wells goes down. 1 Ted Hendricks with East-Central Idaho Planning & Development Association (ECIPDA) next addressed the financing of the project. He explained his role is to analyze similar communities with similar projects and determine what the project will cost, considering current trends in constructions costs. He reported the City of Iona qualifies for funding assistance in the form of a 30 year low interest 3% loan through the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The citizens have the opportunity to vote during the revenue bond election which is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7th, 2017 to either authorize or disallow the City to borrow the money to fund this project. This would require a simple majority vote to pass. He further explained if the bond passes, it would result in an estimated increase of $19.00 per household in the monthly water bill. As more homes or users come into the community the rate could go down. The other thing that may impact the overall cost of the project is whether the construction bid comes in lower than they are anticipating. Mr. Hendricks reported additional funding could become available through the Army Corps of Engineers. For example, the City of Driggs is in the middle of a similar water system improvement project and just received $600,000 to go towards funding their project. If such additional funds are acquired, the monthly increase would likely go down. However, the states across the nation and the federal government have analyzed $50 a month per resident for each separate utility for water and sewer to be affordable. Mayor Andersen explained that when the scope of work was considered, the cost was based upon a worst case scenario and didn't take into consideration any other additional funding that could lower the overall cost of the project and thereby decrease the monthly impact upon each resident's water bill. He further expressed the City has done what they were able to do within the yearly budget, but when it comes to the big ticket items, such as the ones they are discussing tonight, there is not enough funding to get the water system where it should be. He then opened up the meeting for questions and comments from the public. Citizen Dave Huntsman asked how much money was currently available in the City's water fund reserves account. Mayor Andersen responded approximately $500,000. Mr. Huntsman explained it was his understanding when the City raised the monthly water rate from $23.00 to $30.00 the purpose of the increase, along with funds from water connection fees, was to construct a new well. Mayor Andersen responded funds have been set aside which is why the City currently has approximately $500,000 in water fund reserves. Those funds can be used to go towards this project if the City Council decides to go in that direction. However, they also want to keep money in the reserve account in case of a main water line break or the opportunity to purchase additional water rights. 2 Mr. Huntsman asked Engineer Paul Scoresby to explain in more detail the outline of the new distribution lines and how they will loop into the existing system. Mr. Scoresby explained the intention is to have the distribution line run further west on Telford Road and then loop south to the existing system in two locations. Council President Gubler further explained the purpose of the monthly water rate is not to fund future water system improvement projects. Those funds are simply collected to operate and maintain the system as it exists. However, money collected from water connection fees is set aside for reserve purposes. Mayor Andersen agreed with Council President Gubler and further explained the increase to the monthly rate was based on an analysis of how much it costs to operate the system on a monthly basis. He also discussed the history of the increase in water connection fees for new development which has allowed the City Council to put funds into the reserve accounts. Citizen LeAnn Winder explained she referenced her daughter's utility bill for the City of Ammon for comparison purposes. She expressed with this potential cost increase of $19 it will increase the monthly rate from $30 to $50. Once you add in the cost for sewer which is $28 per month residents are paying nearly $78 per month for their water and sewer utilities which is contrary to the figures shared by Mr. Hendricks earlier. She further expressed concerns of the bond having to be approved prior to them actually knowing the ins and outs of how it will affect each resident, and asked what guarantee residents have the City Council will decrease the impact if the project doesn't cost as much as anticipated. Mayor Andersen expressed as Mr. Hendricks indicated if the City Council opts to use some of the reserve funds or receives a federal grant there is potential the impact to each resident will be reduced. Council President Gubler further explained the cost of the project is an estimate only, and the City Council can only explore additional funding once they have approval of a revenue bond. Mrs. Winder expressed she understood those conceptions, but she wants to know what the integrity level is of the City Council if the bid comes in less than anticipated. She asked if they would be willing to reduce the monthly impact for each resident. Council Member Geray shared the proposed estimate with Mrs. Winder and explained if the bid comes less than anticipated it will decrease the monthly impact for each resident. Mrs. Winder inquired if she could have a copy of the proposed estimate. Clerk Roberts indicated she would get her a copy of the document at the adjournment of tonight's meeting. Council President Gubler further explained the City Council didn't want to get in a position as other communities have in which a cost is identified and once the project is started the price 3 increased resulting in them having to ask for additional funding from the community. This proposed estimate is based off of a worst case scenario. Mr. Hendricks further explained a bond amount is not finalized until the completion of construction. If the project costs less the City Council can close out the bond for a lesser amount, but they do not have the authority to go any higher. He explained this type of loan funding does not have prepayment penalties. As more money from water connection fees comes into the systems and the cost is spread among more users there is ability for the City Council to pay things off before the 30 year term expires. Mr. Hendricks explained it depends on each community's demographics whether they are eligible for other types of grant funding. Unfortunately, the City of Iona is not eligible for Community Block Grant funding from a survey which was completed a couple of years ago which determined the average household income exceeded the threshold for eligibility. Mr. Hendricks expressed a community who has completed an improvement project has rates of $50 or greater unless they have more users to spread the cost among. Generally speaking, it is not uncommon for residents to pay $50 per utility (water and sewer). He referenced the City of Rexburg, Fremont County, and Teton County as examples. Mrs. Winder expressed her water pressure was terrible where she lived and inquired if this project will help increase the pressure. Council President Gubler expressed it should. Mayor Andersen advised Mrs. Winder it could possibly be build up in the service line which restricts flow and pressure quite frequently. Citizen Bob Davenport inquired if the City Council considered doing the project in pieces rather than the entire project at once. Mayor Andersen explained when they first looked at this in 2009 the general consensus of the public and the council was they didn't want to pursue a revenue bond. As a result they took what funds were available in reserves to rehabilitate the existing tank, recommission well #3, and update to a SCADA system which provides real time monitoring of the system. The City Council has basically done everything with the funds available, and doesn't have enough money in reserves to complete the big ticket items which they have determined need to be completed together. Mr. Davenport further inquired after these infrastructure improvements what the City Council sees as next items of business. Mayor Andersen responded hopefully nothing, but in the older sections of the community there are old main lines which may need to be updated in the future. Aside from that, the City Council is not anticipating anything at this time unless an opportunity to purchase additional water rights becomes available. Mayor Andersen read a question submitted in writing by Citizen Sally Price who was unable to be present at tonight's meeting. Mrs. Price asked if the revenue bond passes for the water system improvement project does the City Council have any plans to use reserve funds to purchase water meters. 4 Mayor Andersen expressed a water committee was established of volunteer citizens to analyze and help address some of the different deficiencies in the system. As a result one of the options presented was water meters to curb consumption and strain on the existing system. However, after further discussion in town hall meetings it was made clear it was not a popular choice. He expressed he would let each member of the council speak for themselves, but it is his understanding the City Council does not plan on installing water meters until they are forced by state regulations. The City has installed on a volunteer basis 23-30 meters as a means of collecting data on churches, businesses, and different size lots within the community so they have some data on the average consumption. Council President Gubler expressed he was not interested in water meters at all. Council Member Gauen explained when the City Council conducted a community -wide survey they presented different options or tools which were available to help address the water system's deficiencies. He further explained water meters are one of those tools which tend to reduce usage. However, the survey results showed they are the unpopular option. He believes it is the Council's role to lay out the available tools, and ask the citizens which direction they would like to move forward. Council President Gubler reported the survey results showed 83% were in favor of the City Council moving forward in the direction of pursuing a revenue bond to address the water system's deficiencies. Citizen LeAnn Winder inquired how many of the new subdivisions coming in, alluding to those west of 45th, are receiving water services from the City of Iona, and asked where the City Council is anticipating growth from. Council Member Geray responded none as they fall outside of the City limits. Mayor Andersen expressed the City is anticipating growth north and east of the city limits since the City of Ammon is pushing from the west and the remainder of the growth is within the County. Council President Gubler further expressed the anticipated growth would be in the City's Area of Impact. In closing, Council Member Garren shared from his perspective this project will help solve several of the water system deficiencies as outlined in the planning studies. He explained during the summer months the City's pumping capacity is being exceeded. It would also create redundancy requirements in the system. As of right now, the community is vulnerable if one of the pumps goes down and they can't meet demand especially if there was a fire flow need. He further expressed although this could help with future development this project is intended to meet the needs of the community as it currently exists. Mayor Andersen encouraged those present if they have additional questions or hear of other citizens in the community who have questions to advise them to contact a local elected official. 5 Meeting adjourned 8:00 p.m. /15Y) COUNCIL APPROVED: November 21st, 2017 Brad Andersen, Mayor ATTEST: Shara Roberts, City Clerk 6 10.0 REFERENCES 10.1 References Applied Geographic Solutions. idaho.zoomprospector.com. n.d. website. 7 May 2018. <http://idaho.zoomprospector. com/default. aspx?mode=COMMUNITIES>.
