Home My Public Portal AboutMinutes_CCWorkMeeting_12202016 (1141) CITY COUNCIL WORK MEETING DECEMBER 20,2016—6:00 P.M. IONA COMMUNITY CENTER PRESENT: Mayor Brad Andersen, Council President Dan Gubler, Council Member Dan Garren, Council Member Rob Geray, City Clerk Shara Roberts, Public Works Director Zech Prouse, Chief of Police Karl Bowcutt, and Treasurer Amy Sullivan. ABSENT: Council Member Kathy McNamara. VISITORS: None. Discussion of One-Time Credit to Utility Accounts to go Paperless: Treasurer Sullivan explained during last month's City Council they discussed offering a one-time credit to utility accounts to go paperless for $1.00. However, after further discussion with the Mayor they would like to propose a one-time credit of $5.00 to help incentivize saving the City's resources by reducing the amount of printed bills. Clerk Roberts explained the Council could determine a specified amount during the City Council meeting tonight and Attorney Storer could have a resolution drafted for January for approval. 11111) Unlawful Occupancy at 3784 Dayton St.: Chief Bowcutt reported a citizen is unlawfully living in their home due to the lack of a Certificate of Occupancy which is required by city code. He has discussed the situation with Contracted Building Inspector Allen Eldridge and Attorney Storer, and it was determined further discussion with the Council was needed as there is not a specific penalty or course of action outlined in city code. Additionally, Chief Bowcutt reported there are 11 dogs on the property without a kennel license which is also required by city code. He expressed he gave the resident until Christmas Eve to resolve the situation. Chief Bowcutt made a recommendation that the Council and himself work together to outline specific penalties for certain situations with a graded approach, and amend the city code where necessary. After further discussion, the Council directed the City office to send the citizen a letter notifying him that, until the required inspections are completed by law he is not able to occupy his residence. Inactive Building Permits: This agenda item was moved to January's agenda due to contracted Building Inspector Allen Eldridge not being able to be in attendance. Library Improvement Proposal: Mayor Andersen reported he received an email from an individual who has approached him about remodeling a room in the Library to provide a computer lab to the community and naming it after his mother (Betty Thornton) who was a long time resident of the City of Iona. 1 • 11.

Council Member Garren will have a report for the rest of the City Council in January. Code Changes to R-T Zoning: Council Member Geray explained a draft copy of the amended ordinance for the Residential Townhouse (R-T) Zoning is completed, and asked for any last minute suggestions or edits prior to the Public Hearing. After further discussion, the City Council expressed they supported the amended code as written and to go forward with scheduling the public hearing in January. Dog Licenses: Clerk Roberts explained last month she approached the City Council about amending the city code to offer lifetime dog licenses only and eliminate yearly dog licenses. However, she reached out to the City Clerk of St. Anthony who explained their City Council just did the opposite and did away with lifetime dog licenses as they were having difficulty keeping track of dogs and now requires citizens to renew theirs on an annual basis. She reported from additional research she did, that she couldn't find any cities that offer a lifetime license, and either offered a 1 year, 3 year, or 5 year renewal term so she wanted to present that information to the Council for further feedback. The City Council discussed the purpose behind licensing dogs, and after further discussion directed Clerk Roberts to reach out further to other cities to gather more information on why their cities license dogs and table the discussion until a later date. August 21, 2017 Eclipse: Mayor Andersen reported with the Eclipse coming up on August 21, 2017 he wanted to have a brief discussion, as this area is predicted to become highly populated and could lead to citizens renting out their homes. He explained the question is whether the City would like to require some type of one time permit to do so, or would like to turn a blind eye since it is a rare and isolated event. Council Member Garren expressed he understand the concerns, but from his perspective he thinks it would be difficult to enforce something like a one time permit for renting out homes. After further discussion, the Council agreed not to require any additional permits and not to allow overnight parking in public parks as some of the surrounding cities are talking about allowing. Water System Update: Due to time constraints, this agenda item was discussed during the official City Council Meeting. Recycling Containers: Council Member Geray explained it might be beneficial to look into establishing a large recycle bin in the community so residents who do not want to pay for recycling don't have to drive to the transfer station or into the City of Ammon or Idaho Falls to do their recycling. 2 loper agrees to design and construct all sewer main lines as shown on the Improvement Drawings and shall comply with the City of Idaho Falls 2003 Standard Drawings and Engineering Specifications and shall be approved by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and the Iona Bonneville Sewer District. i' m1m -i 4 41 -e4146 : 4" ' < ' • 1 ! : . ._ . u,.. > V : 1- . 1- ib . . b R Ri 2 118 : 8 v' i212iR ' R ' u ' V , V g !

Parking Concerns North of Elementary School: Council Member Geray recommended another sign be put up north of the Elementary School because currently there is only one sign that says "no parking between signs" and it needs to be made clear to the public. He expressed with vehicles parking there they are trashing the walking path on sloppy muddy days, and he sees no reason for it when the school has a massive parking lot. After further discussion, the Council directed Director Prouse to add the additional sign and for Chief Bowcutt to start enforcing it, as well as, have a follow up discussion with the school.
