CONFLICT OF INTEREST DECLARATION

SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
None.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Tom English of Sienna Hills Subdivision expressed his concern with the ongoing about growth in the Vallivue School
District and the inability to pass a tax bond by the voters. He noted that a building moratorium could be implemented
by City Council. He emphasized that the decisions of the City Council effect the long-term goals and outcomes of
the Vallivue School District.
Joey Palmer of the Vallivue School District read a statement into the record regarding donations to the school district
by developers:
"On behalf of the Vallivue School District, I would like to share that tonight's agenda has two developers
scheduled for a quasi-judicial hearing that would impact the Vallivue School District. Both developers
have agreed to donate funds to the Vallivue School District in order to assist in mitigating the needs that
growth is having on our schools. However, 1 must be very clear; when Vallivue reports to the city council
that a developer has agreed 10 a donation, it should not be interpreted as an endorsement from the school
district.
In fact, Vallivue 's preference is that all approvals would cease until a bond has passed. However, Vallivue
understands the reality that developers will be approved or denied despite Vallivue's input. With this in
mind, if the city council decides to approve a subdivision, we want to be able to at least collect donations
when developers are willing to give. Because the truth is, Vallivue is caught in the middle between city
councils approving new developments and a state law that does not include school districts as impact fee
recipients.
Vallivue School District understands that these donations will not solve our problems. However, we would
prefer to at least try and receive funds from developers when they are willing donate, so that the cost is
not purely on property owners.
If Vallivue constituents agree that developers should pay impact fees to the school district, we ask that you
write your local representatives to change the law. ifVallivue constituents disagree with how much money
the district receives and believes developers should pay more, again, call and write your local
representatives. School districts and city councils do not have the power to mandate impact fees to schools "
Mayor Wagoner commented that he recently met with a few legislators to discuss this issue and expressed his concern
about the need for implementing school impact fees.

116.57 ACRES WITH BOTH A R2 IMEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL[ AND HC [HIGHWAY
CORRIDORI ZONING DESIGNATIONS. CONCURRENTLY, THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A
PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH A PUD, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, FOR THE CHARGES AT
KARCHER. THE DEVELOPMENT WILL CONSIST OF 192 TOTAL LOTS WITH 143 SINGLE-
FAMILY, 5 MULTI -FAMILY, AND 15 COMMERCIAL LOTS, WHICH WILL BE COMPLETED IN
EIGHT 181 PHASES. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS ADJACENT TO 15979 LAKE AVENUE, PARCEL
NUMBERS R3282300000, R3273600000, AND R3273500000, CALDWELL, IDAHO)
Alex Jones, Associate Planner at 621 Cleveland Boulevard, proceeded to outline the contents of the staff report by
providing a visual exhibit and Summary Staff Report document. He noted that the development would be zoned as
HC (Highway Corridor) and would take approximately six years/eight phases for completion. The plan includes a
proposed 1.5 acre lot for a joint fire station in partnership with the Nampa Fire Department. Qualifying open space
is 10.3% and includes dedicated land for the Cougar Pathway system, which is located along the parcel's western
boundary. Amenities: A central community park with amphitheater, club houses, outdoor lounging area, playgrounds
and a dog park.
Mr. Jones continued by reporting that the applicant is asking for deviations from the zoning standards: 1) Decrease
the size of lots for a patio homes (15 ft. setback vs. 20 ft.); 2) Townhomes with zero side setbacks; 3) Minimum lot
width of 40 ft. vs. 45 ft. for patio homes and 20 ft. for townhomes (additional parking standards have been met); 4)
BOOK 63
PAGE 185
Patio homes would have 5,000 sq. ft. lots and 1,660 sq. ft. for townhomes; and 5) Increase the townhome height from
35 ft. to 45 ft.
In response to questions from Mayor Wagoner, Mr. Jones clarified that the applicant is proposing to dedicate the land
and construct the Cougar Pathway.
Councilor Stadick questioned if a buffer would be provided between the townhomes and backyards of existing
residences abutting the site.
Mr. Jones reported that the townhomes would be looking down into a common courtyard rather than existing
residential backyards.
In response to questions from Councilor Allgood, Mr. Jones confirmed that the development will be located on the
south side of Karcher Road.
Becky Yzaguirre, Applicant at 4818 W. Camas, Boise and Jamie Snyder, Architect at 2471 S Titanium, Meridian,
spoke in favor of the request. They provided a PowerPoint presentation outlining the mixed use/multi-modal
development. The zoning classification of R-2 (Medium Density Residential) and HC (Highway Corridor) allows
for residential and retail opportunities within the development. There are nine phases within the development.
Ms. Yzaguirre outlined the activity planned within each phase. The applicant is working with ITD to construct all
necessary improvements along Karcher Road. Commercial plans include a hotel (4-story structure with 193 units),
a fire station, five commercial units and a portion of the Cougar Pathway. The townhomes will have two or more
floors. Open space allows for community activities for the residents with two pickleball courts. The development
will appeal to a mixture of incomes and ages with the housing types. Commercial and recreational amenities will
allow residents to live.-work/play and remain local for retail needs. The development will reduce automobile trips
and roadway congestion.
Triple Dot Development has contacted the Vallivue School District and agreed upon a donation of $82,500. The
two largest phases will contain more studio. -single -bedroom units, which typically do not include children. These
units will have less of an impact on the school district. Triple Dot understands the need regarding school growth.
In response to questions by Mayor Wagoner, Ms. Yzaguirre confirmed that the pictorial presentation depict the open
space amenities that the developer has planned. She noted that the open space amenities would be outlined within
the development agreement and the staff report. The applicant is willing to work with staff to document such
features.
In response to questions from Councilor Stadick, Ms. Yzaguirre reported that the project will begin after ITD
completes roadway improvements along Karcher Road. The plat will require one phase per year to be constructed.
Phase I will start along Moss Lane in order to work in conjunction with ITD.
Councilor Stadick expressed his concern with the implication that the development would reduce traffic. Ms.
Yzaguirre emphasized that a big -box grocer, retail and dining options on site would accommodate residents and thus
reduce travel off -site for such needs.
Councilor Stadick noted that residents would still be traveling along Karcher Road to commute to their workplace.
Ms. Yzaguirre reported on the developer's desire to work with the Vallivue School District. She referred to the letter
within the staff report from Triple Dot to the Vallivue School District regarding the donation of $82,500.
Mr. Orton, Public Works Director, reported that the Sewer Master Plan would support the development's build out
plan.
Councilor Williams complimented the applicant on the design of the development. He stated his support for the joint
fire station concept at the site and the development working with the Vallivue School District. He stated his concern
with the continual growth and the strain on schools with the recent denial of the school bond. He suggested the
possibility of a two -acre donation, which would allow for a police sub -station to be constructed at the site. He
questioned the phasing order.
Ms. Yzaguirre confirmed that the phasing order may be adjusted as necessary. She noted that the phasing plan is
proposed but not locked in.
Councilor Williams expressed concerning with the lack of water features within the development and asked if there
electric charging stations included in the plan.
Ms. Snyder responded that water features could be considered within the open space. There are electric stations
planned within the development.
Kelly Perryman, 917 S. Allante, Boise, signed in favor of the request but did not provide testimony.
Tanner Leighton, Developer at 523 W Chrisfield Dr., Boise signed in favor of the request. He reported that the
project had a lot of input from the previous Planning & Zoning Director, Jerome Mapp. He confirmed that the
renderings presented tonight are planned for the development. He indicated that they are open to a design review
process and would like to start construction in 2023. The sewer trunk line will be brought to the site in accordance
to the City's Sewer Master Plan. They are working with ITD to make sure timing will minimize road construction
issues. The phasing plan is able to be amended. The donated acreage could possibly be expanded to two acres to
BOOK 63
PAGE 186
accommodate a Nampa/Caldwell Fire Station and Caldwell Police Department substation, if needed. Electric vehicle
charging stations are included within the development. He stated his appreciation to the landowner for the
opportunity to present the proposed developer. He recommended approval of the request.
Councilor Allgood expressed concern that part of this large development could be passed off to another develop in
the future and the plan could change. The development agreement states that the original plan be completed as
presented tonight.
Mr. Layton confirmed that the development agreement outlines the fact that the original plan would remain with the
development, which was required by the Hearing Examiner.
Brady Hansen, 2876 North Christian Way, Meridian, signed in favor of the request but did not provide testimony.
Max Birch, 332 North Broadmore, Nampa, signed in favor of the request but did not provide testimony.
Brooke Rhodes, 5782 W Algona Drive, Meridian, signed in favor of the request but did not provide testimony.
Zane Cradic, Applicant's Engineer at 332 N Broadmore, Nampa, signed in favor of the request. He addressed prior
questions concerning the phasing plan, noting that the sewer starts in the northern portion of the development. He
explained that before a big -box grocer can be accommodated, Karcher Road must be widened and sewer must be
brought to the site. There are no other constraints for changing the phasing. The applicant has been working with
ITD regarding roadway improvements. He noted that the request for reduced lot width for the single-family patio
homes corresponds with 30-ft. wide units, not typical 35-ft. wide units. The product would fit better with reduced
setbacks.
In response to questions from Councilor McGee, Mr. Cradic confirmed that the construction plan for the development
aligns with the ITD road improvement schedule.
In response to questions from Councilor Stadick, Mr. Leighton reported that the single-family patio homes would
range from the upper $300,000 to the low S400,000 and the townhomes would be in the lower $300,000 range.
Councilor Stadick emphasized the need for the developer to stay true to the plan which has been presented.
Mr. Leighton noted that conditions outlined within the development agreement would be followed.
In response to questions from the Mayor, Mr. Cradic reported there are 116 acres total with 29.4 acres within the R-
2 zone and approximately 85 acres within the Highway Corridor zone.
In response to questions from Councilor Allgood, Mr. Cradic reported that they are working with ITD regarding the
one access point (right-in/right-out) along Karcher Road on the north side. All other access points are off Lake
Avenue.
Councilor Register reported that if the annexation request were approved, law enforcement dispatch would be
responded to by Caldwell Police Department. Do we have adequate police coverage to accommodate this
development?
Chief Ingram of the Caldwell Police Department reported that the subdivision would require additional police officers
because its distance from the downtown CPD facility. A substation constructed at the site would be ideal; however,
it would require an increase of staff to accommodate the need.
Mr. Hilty stated that a development agreement must be in place before an annexation vote is taken. He recommended
that the public hearing be continued to a later meeting date when a development agreement is part of the agenda
packet.
Tyler Anderson, 4309 Newbridge Street, signed as neutral to the request. He noted that he is in favor of the
commercial aspects of the development. He expressed concern that the plan does not provide a clear path for how
the schools will handle the additional students.
In response to questions from Councilor Register, Mr. Palmer from Vallivue School District noted that it is possible
to have conversations with local developers and see if they are willing to provide donations to the Vallivue School
District thereby addressing the school overcrowding issues. Such donations assist with the tax burden not falling
completely upon the property owners. Overcrowding is prevalent in all of the elementary schools. If bonds continue
to fail, the overcrowding issues will be severe. If the bond had passed, two elementary schools were planned in the
immediate area. This issue makes recruiting and retaining teachers difficult. Triple Dot Development reached out
to donate to the Vallivue School District and they have encouraged other developers to do the same. He recommended
voters to write their local representatives and ask for change by implementing impact fees for schools.
Councilor Williams noted that it is important to recognize that this developer has taken the step to provide a donation
to the Vallivue School District.
Patricia Vice, 5215 1" Street, Crosby, Texas signed up as neutral to the request but did not join the public hearing via
Zoom.
The Mayor noted no one sighed up in opposition to the request.
BOOK 63
PAGE 187
Discussion followed concerning requirements for approval of development agreement within a public hearing. Mr.
Hilty noted that he would speak with staff from the Planning & Zoning Department about how to process such
requests in the future. Having a signed development agreement is important prior to annexation approval.
The Mayor noted that the development agreement was not included in the notice for the public hearing. He explained
that public hearings have included approval of the annexationiplanned unit development/development agreement
with potential changes to the conditions of approval being clarified within the public hearing process.
Mr. Hilty concurred that a public hearing is required for approval of the development agreement.
Mr. Leighton noted that the Hearing Examiner included conditions of approval within the development agreement.
Discussion followed regarding the possibility of a condition of approval being added to the staff report concerning
the development agreement being signed within 60-days of approval of the annexation request.
In response to questions from Councilor Allgood, Mr. Leighton reported that the homes would have Caldwell
addresses.
EXHIBITS: Summary of the Staff Report document (CC-1000), Donation Agreement between the Triple Dot and
the Vallivue School District (CC-1001), and the PowerPoint presentation by the developer (CC-1002).
MOVED by Stadick, SECONDED by Allgood to close the public testimony portion of the hearing.
MOTION CARRIED
COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS CONCERNING THE REQUEST:
Councilor Allgood expressed his opinion regarding having an executed development agreement prior to approval
of the annexation.
Mr. Hilty commented on the process of development agreements and noted that generally all elements should come
together with the annexation, plat and the development agreement. Since the development agreement is not part of
the package tonight, he recommended to the leave public testimony open for the development agreement public
hearing at a future meeting.
MOVED by Allgood, SECONDED by McGee to continue the public hearing to the Regularly Scheduled City
Council Meeting to be held on October 6, 2022 at 6:00 p.m.
MOTION CARRIED
The Mayor reminded the Council Members that this is an active case and should not be discussed with each other
or the public. He encouraged staff to move forward with the proper notification of the public hearing for the
development agreement.

Alex Jones, Associate Planner of 621 Cleveland Boulevard noted that the case number for this action item was
incomplete on the agenda notice. The correct case number for New Business Item #6 should read "Case No. ANN22-
000000/PUD22-000009. SUB22-00001 I"
He outlined the contents of the staff report noting that the request is for a designation of R-3 (High Density
Residential), in accordance with the comprehensive plan. No rezone is needed. This is a three-phase development
with a pathway along the Elijah Drain. A pickle ball court is being proposed.
In response to questions from Councilor Williams concerning the difference between a special use permit and zoning
variance, the Mayor explained that the Hearing Examiner recommended approval of a multi -family development and
requirements for seeking a special use permit.
Bonnie Layton, Applicant at 690 S Industry Way, Meridian, spoke in favor of the request and outlined the contents
of a PowerPoint. She noted that the development would continue Laster Lane through the center of the site, which
includes the crossing of the Elijah Drain. There are two outparcels that are not included in the project. All traffic
will be routed to Laster Lane and go east and west from there, as indicated within the traffic impact study.
BOOK 63
PAGE 188
The request is in compliance with the comp plan, which allows for high density developments (25 units per acre and
up to 40 units per acre are allowed with a Planned Unit Development). The request is for ten (10) units per acre. The
site plan will maximize the views of the Boise mountain range and includes accommodating the regional pathway
system along the Elijah Drain. She noted that three of the five qualifying factors for the planned unit development
have been met. The units range from 840 sq. ft. (one bedroom) to 2,000 sq. ft. (three bedrooms). The developer is
working with the Vallivue School District to provide a donation. Contact has been made with Valley Regional Transit
regarding a potential bus stop for the development. Improvements to Laster Lane will be constructed as approved by
staff.
Councilor Allgood questioned the lack of dedication of right-of-way within the development. Ms. Layton noted that
the service drives will be owned and maintained by the developer. The only public roadway will be Laster Lane.
In response to questions from Councilor Stadick regarding a landscape buffer, Ms. Layton reported that there would
be a meandering path along the service road as approved by Pioneer Irrigation.
David Borne of Peg Company at 185 North 200 West, Provo, Utah signed in favor pf the request and referenced the
PowerPoint concerning their company. He noted that the apartments would be horizontal style. The residents will
share one wall at most with each unit having their own backyard and front door at ground level. There will be smart
home features and amenities throughout the development. The pricing tier consists of rental units ranging from
$1,600 - $2,500 depending on the unit size. All units will be rented. The agreement with the Vallivue School District
was for a donation of $500 per door, which is approximately $200,000.
Tyler Phelps of Peg Company 185 North 200 West, Provo, Utah signed in favor of the request. He clarified that the
units are not high-rise or mid -rise apartments. Improvements will be made to Laster Lane and the regional trail along
the Elijah Drain will be a public amenity for the community. The donation to the school district will help mitigate
growth with potentially assist with portable units. Construction crews will not have access through any of the existing
residential neighborhoods. All access will be through Laster Lane. Improvements to Laster Lane will be completed
first before the first home is constructed.
Councilor Williams noted that it was noteworthy for the developer to donate funding for portable units to help
alleviate some of the school crowding issues.
Joe Lords of423 Eagle Road, Meridian, spoke in favor of the request. He noted the partnership with the Peg Company
and Alante Homes for the project. Both companies are community minded. A local contractor will do the
construction. The development provides affordable options in a difficult market to purchase homes.
Alicia Reinhard of 453 Parkinson Street, signed in favor of the request but did not provide public testimony.
Rowe Sanderson of 453 Parkinson Street, signed in favor of the request but do not provide public testimony.
Brandi Hulme of 3017 Ray Avenue, signed in favor of the request but do not provide public testimony.
Dan Hulme of 3017 Ray Avenue, signed in favor of the request but do not provide public testimony.
Christine Howe of 5403 Hargrove Avenue, spoke in opposition to the request. She is a member of the Weston Point
Homeowners Association, which is located adjacent to the project. The area currently surrounding the project is low
and medium density. She stated her opposition to high -density rentals within the area. She expressed concern that
the project will decrease home values in the area. She reported that three-story apartments are being constructed
within an adjacent development (Lavender Homes).
Mark Howe of 5403 Hargrove Avenue spoke in opposition to the request. He expressed concern with adding 400
plus homes to the area, traffic congestion with the addition of 400 plus cars, and the impact to police, schools and the
local community. He noted the challenge to get kids to school because of overcrowding and the difficulty of hiring
bus drivers to transport students.
Tyler Anderson of4309 Newbridge Street spoke in opposition to the request. He concurred with previous testimony
noting that two major developments will be coming into the area and their impact on schools and traffic.
Clint Hamblin, 4301 Newbridge Street spoke in opposition to the request. He concurred with previous testimony in
opposition to the request. He expressed concern with continued approval of housing projects but the lack of schools
to accommodate the growth. How many mobile classrooms are we going to keep adding? He concluded with
comments regarding traffic congestion.
Christina Walker, 4419 Newbridge Street spoke in opposition to the request. She noted that there is confusion among
residents regarding the two developments in close proximity of each other. She expressed concern with traffic feeding
into her residential neighborhood, overcrowding of schools, and the incompatibility of the project with the
surrounding area She requested that the Council Members protect the citizens of this community and consider the
fall -out from their decisions.
The Mayor clarified that this current project has no traffic plans to route through existing neighborhoods.
Upon the request of the Mayor, Brent Orton (Public Works Director) briefly outlined the requirements and use of
traffic impact fees.
Maria Gomez, 5101 Ormsby Avenue, signed in opposition to the request but was not present to provide testimony.

Sara Teats, 4504 Lake Avenue, signed in opposition to the request but did not provide testimony.
Cari Berrett, 4605 Glimany Court, signed in opposition to the request but did not provide testimony.
In rebuttal, Mr. Borne reiterated that this development has no legal partnership or affiliation with the proposed
development located south of the site. There are no three-story buildings being proposed at this site. The special use
permit was sought for the purpose of not having seven to nine units together because typically that design includes
upward building construction The plan is for low units to be consistent with the existing community. We are
working with the neighbor to the south for access along the western edge of the property.
In rebuttal, Ms. Layton clarified that the project that was referenced as three-story units to the south of the
development has been denied. The developer is sensitive to the concerns of the neighbors; however, there is a serious
lack of housing within the area and this development will provide a needed housing type.
In response to questions from Councilor Stadick, Mr. Palmer noted that the local school has students attending
kindergarten classes within portables. The new portable will take up current playground space. Other elementary
schools in the area are overcrowded. Teachers will be teaching larger classes to compensate for the growth.
MOVED by Stadick, SECONDED by Allgood to close the public testimony portion of the hearing.

COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS CONCERNING THE REQUEST:
Councilor Allgood commented that when he was first employed at the Caldwell Police Department, there was a
population of 23,000 people in Caldwell and now the population is roughly 70,000 persons. Caldwell is the
fourteenth fastest growing community within the nation. The growth is happening so we need to manage it the best
we can. There is a need to provide a variety of housing options for those coming to the community. It is not feasible
to draw a line in the sand and tell others that they cannot come to live here.
Councilor Williams expressed his support for the quality of this development. He noted that the master plan provides
for the zoning request and this is not a zoning variance request. He noted that school overcrowding issues will
continue due to the ongoing growth within the area. He expressed appreciation for the $200,000 donation to the
Vallivue School District by the developer. He noted the need to work on new solutions through legislation. Trying
to stop the movement is not the answer.
Councilor Register stated her agreement with comments from Councilor Allgood; however, there is also a need to
listen to the concerns from constitutes.
In response to questions from Councilor McGee, Mr. Hilty stated noted the requirements for this matter are covered
through an existing ordinance and; therefore, may eliminate the need for a development agreement. The only item
not covered with the ordinance are the conceptual images/aesthetics. These factors could be addressed within a
development agreement.
The Mayor noted that the special use permit was approved by the Hearing Examiner and should have included the
conditions of approval.
Juli McCoy, Senior Planner, 621 Cleveland, stated that she was inclined to agree with Mr. Hilty that the typical
conditions within a development agreement are already covered in the City Code, the Planning and ,Zoning Code,
and the Special Use Permit. The elevations have not been addressed.
Councilor Allgood clarified that the developer has stated that the units would not be multi -story and will share one
common wall. Ms. McCoy stated that these factors are addressed within the platting details.
Councilor McGee commented on the importance to base decisions on what is best for Caldwell. Sometimes the
decisions become very difficult, especially when dealing with the school system. He noted that his daughter attends
Vallivue Middle School and; therefore, his decisions are based on being a member of the community and not being
pro -development or pro -developer.

Brent Orton provided background information regarding the requirement for financial guarantees for subdivision
development improvements. The financial guarantee from the developer allows for the construction of homes. The
ordinance would allow the developer to pull 80 percent (rather than the current 50 percent) of the building permits
for the development under the financial guarantee process. It would also extend the time period for accessibility of
the permits to 120 days rather than 90 days.
In response to questions from Councilor McGee, Mr. Orton stated that staff is in support of these changes and
believes this is a reasonable approach for the development community.

MOTION CARRIED
(APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 313-22 AUTHORIZING CHANGES TO THE CITY OF CALDWELL
EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK, SECTION IX EMPLOYMENT DISCIPLINE, SUB -SECTION C.
OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD — NAME -CLEARING HEARING)
Mr. Hilty provided information concerning the necessity of the name clearing hearing in association with recent
conversations with ICRMP, the liability insurer for the City. The current policy is modeled from ICRMP's
recommendation to the City of Caldwell. After research was conducted by the City Attorney's Office, it was noted
that many cities within the State of Idaho have the same policy. There are elements in our policy that are not
consistent with a constitutionally mandated name -clearing hearing. ICRMP is recommending that the policy not be
altered; however, the proposed modifications are not significantly different from the existing policy. This is an
employment -related matter that could result in a wrongful termination lawsuit or an allegation that due process was
not followed. If that occurred, ICRMP would be required to provide the legal defense and the indemnification;
therefore, legal counsel desires to be responsive to the concerns expressed by ICRMP.
The resolution provided this evening gives clarification to the Employee Handbook concerning when the name -
clearing hearing is applicable. The hearing is for employees who are terminated or demoted with a reduction in pay.
It also only applies when the allegations against the employee involve dishonesty, immorality or criminal misconduct.
Those are the things would effect a person's good name, accordingly to case law. An employee; thereby, has a chance
to rebut these issues. This would occur within an executive session. The resolution eliminates the indication that
this was a constitutionally protected right. These are minor changes with the majority of the policy remaining per
the ICRMP policy template.
The Name -Clearing Hearing process is for a one -hour period where the employee is allowed to present information
to clear their name with the employer followed by City Council rendering a decision.
In response to question from Councilor McGee, Mr. Hilty reported that the Name -Clearing Hearing process is rarely
activated across the State of Idaho. Research was conducted by Tayler Yett of the City Attorney's Office and
findings were found of two other jurisdictions that had conducted the Name -Clearing Hearings in accordance with
the ICRMP policy.
Councilor Stadick expressed his concern that Council Members were not allowed to ask questions of the employee
nor was the employee allowed to provide testimony of witnesses.
Mr. Hilty reported that the other two jurisdictions conducted the hearing process differently. One jurisdiction allowed
testimony from the employee/witnesses and the other one did not allow any additional comments.
Councilor Allgood questioned the necessity to conduct the Name -Clearing Hearing. He expressed concern with the
denial of the employee to have their legal counsel and witnesses provide comments.
Mr. Hilty explained the necessity to follow due process requirements allowing the government employee to protect
his/her good name. ICRMP has provided guidance by outlining the steps for the name -clearing hearing process.
He recommended that the employee be provided one hour to present the facts through a presentation, witnesses, etc.
in order to afford them the opportunity to clear their name. He cautioned the allowance of Council Members to ask
questions. The Name -Clearing Hearing was never intended to be a review if the termination decision was appropriate.
The intent is merely to give the employee a forum to rebut the allegations that were made against them.
Councilor Doty reported on his experience with the Idaho State Police concerning a pre -discipline hearing. Mr. Hilty
clarified the difference between the two forums. The Name -Clearing Hearing transpires after a termination
determination has been rendered by staff.
In response to questions from Mayor Wagoner, Mr. Hilty confirmed that ICRMP's recommended policy provides
availability of the name -clearing process to every employee who meets the qualifications as stated and requests the
hearing.
Chief Ingram provided historical information from his law enforcement experience concerning the name -clearing
process. He reported the Los Angeles Police Department now follows a "Board of Rights" process allowing for
hearings related to a demotion or a termination of a police officer. The employee has the right to cross-examine any
witnesses and the department presents a case similar to a prosecuting attorney. Two law enforcement captains and a
community member serve as judge/jury. The board renders a decision. Due process allows the employee and the
employer to argue the case.
MOVED by Stadick, SECONDED by Doty to approve Resolution No 313-22 as presented.

MOTION CARRIED
(COUNCIL COMMENTS)
a. Council President Allgood: Comments regarding the issuance of downtown narking permits.
Councilor Allgood reported on a request from a developer looking to build a three-story building with twenty-two
apartments. There is not sufficient parking for such a development. The developer requested that the City provide
him 25 parking permits for City -owned parking lots, which would not be subject to tow or cited for 24`7 parking. He
noted that other developers are also desirous of bringing mixed used developments (commercial. -residential) and are
inquiring how many spaces the City is willing to provide through the use of 24/7 parking permits.
Councilor Doty noted that such a practice is followed by other cities that have adequate parking available. He
expressed his concern with the continued lack of parking in Downtown Caldwell and the fact that allowance was
already provided to deChase Development for parking permits to supplement their parking needs for the new structure
at T" & Main.
Mayor Wagoner reported that he was in contact today with the developer for the proposed development at Kimball
& Arthur. The developer reported that he is not requesting designated or reserved parking, but merely residential
parking permits. He is looking to acquire 25 parking permits.
Discussion followed with comments made about the majority of parking spaces only being available for residential
purposes and not citizens coming to patronize local businesses. It was noted that the Arthur,Kimball location is an
active location in the downtown area. It was recommended that continued discussions with the developer clarify that
designated public parking permits would not be available for the entire request of 25 permits. The parking permits
would only supplement the development in order to meet the City Code parking requirements. It was suggested that
possibly 66% percent of the requested number of parking permits (66% of 25) be discussed with the developer.
The Mayor noted that a City Council Workshop would be held on September 15, 2022 to further discuss downtown
parking matters.
6. Councilor Williams: Unmitigated Irrigation Flooding Issues -- Spruce Street.
Council Williams reported that he recently spoke with Mark Zirschky of Pioneer Irrigation regarding the
unmitigated irrigation flooding issues from the homeowner along Spruce Avenue. Mr. Zirschky estimated that
approximately 360 gallons of water per minute was going into the storm drain from this site. Mr. Hilty reported
that the State Code addresses flooding water crossing a public street or sidewalk is a misdemeanor. The Mayor
reported that the City Code also addresses this issue.
Mr. Orton reported that the homeowner removed some bushes and in the process demolished the irrigation box,
which was located on his property. The irrigation box did not belong to Pioneer Irrigation or the City of Caldwell,
but rather a private irrigation box that belonged to a group of benefiting neighbors.
Councilor Williams noted his concern that the individual purposely diverted the water into the public right-of-
way. The problem has been transpiring for more than one year. He recommended putting a Local Improvement
District (L.I.D.) program in place to assist with the removal of the flood irrigation system and transfer properties
to pressurized irrigation. A date of possibly one year or 18 months from now, the City will move forward with
a transfer to pressurized irrigation.
Councilor Doty recommended the Chief Ingram assign an officer to visit the site to educate the homeowner
regarding the violation of the Idaho Code and that the homeowner could be cited accordingly. Chief Ingram
concurred with the recommendation.
Councilor Williams reported that the properties along Montana Avenue currently do not receive irrigation water.
C. Councilor Stadick: Airport Updates:
Council Stadick reported on the discussion at the recent Airport Commission meeting regarding a name change
of the airport. They will be making a recommendation at the upcoming City Council meeting on September 15,
2022.
BOOK 63 PAGE 193
d Councilor Register: Workshop regarding the School Funding Process:
Councilor Register requested a workshop with a representative(s) from the school district(s) regarding the school
funding process, cost to construct a new school versus the cost of portable units, costs to staff a portable unit,
and current needs. Mayor Wagoner stated that staff would work to organize such a workshop by contacting Joey
Palmer of the Vallivue School District. Ms. Register responded that she would also like representation by the
Caldwell School District to be included at the workshop as well.
