MOTION CARRIED
(AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION)
The Mayor invited anyone in the audience who had a matter
they wanted to discuss with the City Council that was not
on the prepared Agenda to come forward.
Charles Bratton, 3108 Arlington, was recognized by the
Mayor. Mr. Bratton introduced his neighbor, Bobbie
Downey, and informed Council that he was present to try
to help her out. He explained that the Downeys lived
next door to him and have built a storage shed that the
City has informed them they cannot have there because of
stipulations in the City Code. Mr. Bratton distributed
a petition that was signed by everyone in the
neighborhood supporting the Downeys. He asked the City
Council to please give consideration to this request to
allow the storage shed to remain.
The Council discussed this matter noting that a Building
Permit was not requested and there was a sewer line in
the easement which was a serious problem. The Mayor
stated that he would take the petition and pictures and
pursue the issue from an administrative standpoint and
see if there were options in the situation.

MOTION CARRIED
OLD BUSINESS
(AN APPEAL TO OVERTURN THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S
RECOMMENDATION TO DENY A ZONE CHANGE FROM 4 -3 (MULTI - FAMILY HIGH
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL) TO C -1 (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL) FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF SOUTH TENTH AVENUE AND FILLMORE
STREET TABLED BY COUNCIL ON JULY 15, 1996)
Mayor Winder explained that this appeal was tabled by the
City Council on July 15th so that a legal opinion could
be secured from the City Attorney. In addition, it was
defined that it was not an appeal; it was simply an
application for a zone change. The Mayor further stated
that he would read the information he gathered and pass
on to the City Council. Council would still have to
proceed with the Fact Finding and Conclusions of Law and
make a determination relating to this matter. The
information was as follows:
The following regards our meeting and public hearing of
July 15 in which the City Council tabled consideration of
a rezone of property located on the northwest corner of
Fillmore and Tenth Avenue. During the interim our City
Attorney issued a written opinion regarding the
procedures that must be followed to grant a rezone.
In this case the applicant, Joetta Fulgenzi, applied for
a Special Use Permit or a rezone to C -1 or C -2 for the
subject property. During the Public Hearing before the
Book 37
Planning and Zoning Commission, Joetta withdrew her
application for a Special Use Permit. The Planning and
Zoning Commission voted to deny the rezone.
As a result, Ms. Fulgenzi appealed to the City Council
the proposed rezone. An appeal was not necessary as the
Planning and Zoning Commission does not have authority to
approve or deny a rezone. The Commission's decisions
were recommendations only. The City Council heard the
matter as an application for a rezone but did not issue
a decision due to legal questions which required answers
from our City Attorney.
Mr. Harris issued his opinion which states the City
Council cannot rezone any property that is not in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.
In this case, the Comprehensive Plan would require
amendment to reflect the community's plan to make this
area commercial. Such amendments may be made only once
every six months. The last amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan was done on March 20, 1996. The next
date for such action will be January 1, 1997.
We all regret the amount of time and money invested in
these proceedings by all parties. The City staff had
been informed by me that a rezone could occur now and the
Comprehensive Plan changed later; that position was
developed and based on input from our City Attorney who
has since issued a contrary opinion.
It is my recommendation that the City Council reject the
application on the grounds that a rezone cannot be
accomplished without first amending the Comprehensive
Plan.
Councilwoman Earl was recognized and said that for
Findings of Fact, she would state that both the Idaho
State Code and the State Planning Act requires that the
zone changes be in compliance with the Comprehensive
Plan. Also, Section 10- 03 -03(C) of Caldwell Zoning
Ordinance requires that the application for a rezone be
in accordance with our Comprehensive Plan. In this case,
they are not in compliance. Therefore, she would find
that our Conclusions should be that since it was not in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan that the
application be denied. This applicant or the
neighborhood, should they believe or want to pursue this
further, would need to apply to the City Planning and
Zoning Department for a Comprehensive Plan change along
with a zone change. It would be her recommendation that
should these applications be forthcoming that not only
this one parcel of property be studied, but that the
entire area would have to be considered as to the
likelihood of it going to a Commercial Zone.
MOVED by Earl, SECONDED by Houchins that the City Council
deny the application for rezone at this time.
Roll call vote. Those voting yes: Earl, Langan, wells,
Houchins, and Evans. Those voting no: none. Absent and
not voting: Nancolas.
MOTION CARRIED
Page 179
Mayor Winder informed Ms. Fulgenzi that she could apply
for a Comprehensive Plan change for the property and at
the same time submit the application for a rezone. He
was sorry for having the process take so long. The Mayor
further stated that she did have the right to appeal to
the District Court within twenty -eight days from the date
Book 37 Page 180
the Council's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law
were drafted which would be as of today.
(BILL NO. 26 - ESTABLISH THE OFFENSE OF THE FAILURE OF A PARENT TO
SUPERVISE A CHILD)
Mayor Winder explained that this Bill was to establish
the offense of the failure of a parent to supervise a
child. This issue has been before the City Council since
June of 1996 and has been drafted, revised, redrafted,
submitted, and etc. Public meetings were held so people
would have an opportunity to meet with the Mayor and
Council and present their opinion. He then read the Bill
by title only as follows:
AN ORDINANCE ENACTED PURSUANT TO IDAHO CODE 32 -1301 WHICH
ESTABLISHED THE OFFENSE OF THE FAILURE OF A PARENT TO
SUPERVISE A CHILD BY DEFINING THE ELEMENTS OF THE
OFFENSE, DEFINING WHO IS SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION AND WHO
IS EXEMPT FROM PROSECUTION, PROVIDING FOR RESTITUTION,
PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES FOR A FIRST OFFENSE AS WELL AS
SECOND OR SUBSEQUENT OFFENSES AND PROVIDING FOR CONTEMPT
PROCEEDINGS FOR VIOLATION OF ORDERS ENTERED PURSUANT TO
THIS ORDINANCE AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The Mayor encouraged those who were interested in this
Bill to get a copy for review. There was no urgency in
passing it tonight and they would simply have the first
reading tonight if that was Council's judgment.
Councilman Houchins stated that Council has spent a lot
of time on this item. Since they now have a legal
opinion as to the wording, he would MOVE and it was
SECONDED by Evans that this be considered the first
reading of Bill No. 26.
Councilman Wells noted that there was one section in the
Idaho Code, 20- 520(3), regarding restitution that he
would suggest that the City Attorney review. After
discussion, it was agreed that he would bring a copy of
that portion of the State Code to the Mayor who would
send it on to the Attorney for his opinion.
Roll call vote. Those voting yes: Houchins, Evans,
Earl, Langan, and Wells. Those voting no: no. Absent
and not voting: Nancolas.
NEW BUSINESS
MOTION CARRIED
(REPORT FROM THE TOWNSITE COMMITTEE REGARDING THEIR ACTIVITIES)
Vivian McKay, Vice - Chairman of the Caldwell Townsite
Committee, was recognized by the Mayor. Ms. McKay
explained that the Committee basically wanted to get
copies to the Mayor and Council of the petition to form
the Business Improvement District. They needed to secure
510 of the approximately 200 business owners. When they
complete this phase, they will be coming back to the City
Council for their approval. At this time, they simply
wanted to get the paperwork to Council so they could
review the process and give the Committee their blessing.
Ms. McKay explained that many volunteers have been
working on this B.T.D. Petition. The Committee was an
entity by itself and basically all of the Directors were
volunteers., They were hoping to improve downtown
Caldwell and that was their goal with the B.I.D. The
business owners would be voting on how the money should
be spent,
Book 37
Mayor Winder asked Ms. McKay how this B.I.D. would
terminate. Ms. McKay explained that the Petition now
states that the S.I.D. would continue indefinitely.
There has been some comments on this particular statement
and they will discuss it with the Attorney.
Councilman Houchins commented that he was basically in
favor of the project. However, speaking as a businessman
in the downtown area, he had several things that bothered
him. The first was that they were asking people to sign
a petition with an indefinite period of time and no cut
off date. Another question was what percentage of the
money collected would be spent on administration_
Ms. McKay stated that after preparing the petition, they
realized there should have been a definite time set.
Councilman Houchins suggested that they amend the
Petition and redo the signatures before going forward.
Ms. McKay stated that administrative fees would be very
limited due to the fact that there were many volunteers.
However, they would need someone to maintain the Depot a
few hours a day to answer the phone and do some typing.
The Mayor stated that he was pleased that they were
progressing toward developing a Business Improvement
District.
(DISCUSSION WITH REGARD TO THE ONE PERCENT INITIATIVE)
The Mayor stated that this issue was being talked about
all over the State by various groups and organizations.
The first One Percent Initiative was passed back in 1978
and went into effect in 1979 and was modified over the
- years to the point where it had little resemblance to the
original Initiative. The backers of this Initiative have
been saying to the Legislature from the very beginning
that they wanted some kind of property tax reform.
Mayor Winder distributed a memo to the Council Members
explaining the effect of this Initiative which he
reviewed as follows:
The so- called 1% Initiative will be on the election
ballot, November 5, 1996. That Initiative if approved by
the voters would be effective on January 1, 1997, unless
the court system were to determine the Initiative to be
unconstitutional or the Legislature would not implement
it as written.
Should the Initiative be approved by the voters and
be implemented as written, certain conclusions are
evident.
First, only 10 of the taxable value of real property
could be collected by all taxing districts.
Second, all funding of public school maintenance and
operations and existing school debt payments will be
shifted to the State. Based on the State budget for
1995, this would have shifted $228,000,000 from property
tax to other revenue sources, income tax, sales tax, etc.
Third, fire, police and emergency medical services
shall be maintained at level equal to or greater than the
level in effect on October 1, 1996.
Fourth, after factoring in new revenue resulting
from growth, funding for other less essential services
shall be reduced in order to comply with this
requirement.
Fifth, special taxes in excess of the 1% limitation
may be adopted by a 2/3 vote of those voting in an
election called for that purpose.
The City of Caldwell has analyzed the effects of
this proposal if approved by the people and implemented
as written.
Page 181
Book 37
Page 182
Property tax revenue available to the City will
decrease by about $1,000,000; $700,000 of those dollars
will decrease services available from the General Fund.
Those services included in the General Fund are
Police and Fire which must be maintained at levels of
service in effect on October 1, 1996; City Council„
Mayor, Administrative, Accounting (Treasurer) , Legal,
City Clerk, Building Inspections, Parks, Recreation„
Forestry, Planning and Zoning, and Caldwell Events
Center.

$1,831,000 for all
After subtracting the $700,000 from the $1,831,-000,
the City will have $1,131,000 to provide all the other
services.
The City is required by Idaho State Code to have a
Mayor and Council. We could operate with four (4)
members of the Council as Nampa and many other cities do.
That would require a City Election, but would save
$10,444 annually if adopted.
In addition, the City is required to have a City
Clerk, Legal Counsel, and Treasurer.
The current budget has $528,000 allocated for Mayor,
Council, City Clerk, City Attorney, and City Treasurer -
Finance Director.
That leaves $603,000 to be allocated among the
remaining General Fund services.
Which services are you willing to reduce or do
without? The City Council will make that decision.
It is clear that several employees will lose their
jobs and services to the public will be reduced
accordingly.
The City of Caldwell supports the position in
opposition to the to Initiative adopted by the
Association of Idaho Cities.
After the Mayor presented his memo, the Council Members
briefly discussed the Initiative. Several members of the
Council including Councilman Langan and Councilman Evans
expressed their opposition to this Initiative.
Councilwoman Earl commented how the City would encourage
public input especially when approving the budget and
also to ask questions about such issues as the One
Percent Initiative.
(ADOPT THE TENTATIVE BUDGET AND SET THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR AUGUST
19, 1996)
The Finance Director recapped the budget process stating
that Budget Workshops were held by Council on July 16,
25, 29, 30, and 31. This gave the public, the Staff, and
Council an opportunity to discuss next year's programs,
projects and priorities get an idea of what next year's
finances look like.
Book 37
Mrs. Kiler passed out some handouts to the Members of the
Council that she stated addressed some areas that she was
requested to incorporate. She explained that one of the
handwritten handouts was regarding the ADA information
for the parks. Another was a revised summary of the
General Fund compared by divisions of last year's budget
with this year's budget in general categories.
She further commented that the Tentative Budget
represents revenues increasing 2.61% from the prior year
and expenditures up 4.54% in all funds. The budget
reflects no salary increase. The health insurance cost
was estimated at $383,000 for the coming year which was
down from an estimated $613,000 for the current year.
The dental insurance cost was estimated to be $67,800
which was up from an estimated $51,000 this year. Mrs.
Kiler explained that she mentioned these two categories
because they were the major expenditures of our General
Fund budget and employee based budget. In the General
Fund alone, the revenues were up 9.02% and expenditures
were up 4.3 %. The General Fund includes $50,000 in the
new building maintenance division to set aside dollars
for major maintenance. This was a new division at the
Council's request. The General Fund also includes
$50,698 additional dollars for the park's ADA projects.
It includes work to be done at Memorial, Luby and J.C.
This year the City has spent $22,500 for ADA projects.
Again in the General Fund, there was $100,000 estimated
revenue from the new one percent Idaho Power Franchise
fee. It was not appropriated as part of contingency in
the General Fund. As was discussed in the workshops, the
Event Center Fund reflects business as usual. Revenues
were up in all of the property tax supported funds.
The Director further stated that the next handout has the
revenues and expenditures for the entire City's budget.
The revenues were broken out by source and by fund and
expenditures displayed by function. The total estimated
expenditures for next year were 19.5 million and revenues
19.5 million which includes the use of fund balance or
retained earnings of 2.3 million.
After Mrs. Kiler's summary, the Council President on
behalf of the Council thanked the Finance Director and
Finance Committee for the many hours of work that has
gone into developing this budget.
Mayor Winder stated that the procedure for tonight was
for the Council to adopt the Tentative Budget. That
amount was the maximum amount that can be budgeted by the
City Council for the fiscal year 1997. The amount could
be lowered, but not raised as a result of the Public
Hearing on the 19th. If the Hearing indicates that they
move forward on the budget, the Budget will be formally
adopted on the first Council Meeting in September.
Copies of the proposed budget were available at City Hall
for anyone to review.
The Tentative Budget for the fiscal year 1997 was as
