WORK SESSION i AB 18-310 Request to review a July 4th Memorandum of Understanding between the City of McCall and participating agencies and direction to staff Police Chief Justin Williams presented July 4th Memorandum of Understanding between the City of McCall and participating agencies. In 2015, the City of McCall entered into a memorandum of understanding with Valley County and the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) to restrict the possession and consumption alcoholic beverages in and around Payette Lake. The City Council agreed to a 3-year participation while Valley County and IDPR agreed to a 5-year term. Chief Williams gave a brief history of the purpose of the memorandum and went over the City's last three years of statistics of arrests and traffic violations, and costs comparisons. Letters of support have been received by Valley County Board of Commissioners and the Valley County Sheriff and one is on its way from the IDPR asking for the City to please consider this extension. He recommends to enter into a 2-year MOU which will get the City through a July 4t falling on a weekend, which has not yet happened. On the same token, he felt that only having the restriction on July 4t" in the lake side parks was sufficient. He would like to see those numbers as well as have all the agencies finish out the cycle at the same time. Council Member Holmes asked questions about the arrests. She shared, originally, she was not in support of the restriction but after many positive comments from people of the community, she MCCALL CITY COUNCIL Page 1 of 3 November 30, 2018 Special Meeting will support the MOU. Council Member Nielsen did not understand the purpose of the MOU. Chief Williams explained the MOU is a written commitment that the City will work with the other agencies on this matter, and the City depends on the other agencies to assist in enforcement. The Idaho State Police are not coming back if the party returns and it creates isolation to let one agency be alone as the enforcer. Council Member Holmes confirmed the MOU does not lock the City into anything, only that we agree to cooperate. Council Member Sowers spoke of the positive support of the community. Chief Williams stated once the 2-year cycle comes to an end, a meeting will be held between all the agencies again to visit the data, community needs, and how to proceed going forward. After some discussion, the Council Members were in support of extending for another 2 years and gave staff permission to move forward with finalizing the MOU to be brought back to a future Council meeting for review and approval. BUSINESS AGENDA AB 18-311 Request for Review and Approval of the Local Option Tax Funding Contract and Completion Report Templates Local Option Tax Administrator Amanda Payne presented the Local Option Tax Funding Contract and Completion Report Templates. She explained the process of how the contract is administered and the requirements for the completion reports. With the approval of Ordinance 965 - 3% Occupancy Local Option Tax (LOT), it was identified that the Council would review and approve the contract to be used for the entities awarded funds. During discussions the Council wanted to understand the process staff used when distributing LOT funds and the process used to ensure those funds were spent according to the contract. Staff has worked with the City Attorney to revise the contract template used historically. The revised template requires the attachment of the original application to the contract to ensure that all parties are clear of the project that was approved for funding. Staff is requesting that Council approve the contract template and authorize the Mayor to sign all the contracts for FY2019 for the approved funding. The checks for the approved funding will still come to the Council for approval through the Warrant Register process. The other option would be that the contracts would be placed on the Consent Agenda for individual approval as the funding becomes available. By approving the contract template and giving authority to the Mayor to sign all contracts for the approved LOT awards, the process of releasing the funds to the recipients will be expedited. Council Member Holmes asked for monthly reports of what has been funded. Staff suggested to add the report into the department reports. Council Member Sowers moved to approve the Local Option Tax Funding Contract and Completion Report templates and authorize the Mayor to sign all the contracts for FY2019 approved LOT projects. Council Member Nielsen seconded the motion. In a roll call vote Council Member Sowers, Council Member Nielsen, Council Member Giles, and Council Member Holmes all voted aye and the motion carried.
