He outlined the various funds and revenues associated with those funds. He noted that this was a difficult year due to the area's economic conditions; however, the City of Caldwell has opted once again not to take the three percent (3 %) full statutory tax increase. He reported that many of the funds have been reduced due to anticipated decreased residential values from the Canyon County assessor's office as well as decreased state and federal fund revenues. He expressed appreciation to City staff and to the Council for their work in preparing and managing the budget. Ronald Halvorson, 611 E. Dewey Lane, requested clarification concerning the Local Improvement District (LID) line item. The Mayor explained that this fund is used for the City to participate in the voluntary Local Improvement District (LID) program. Property owners are able to improve their neighborhood or their downtown properties concerning infrastructure upgrades through the use of this program. Councilman Hopper stated that the City assists LID participants by offering a low financing program to match contributions made by the property owners, thereby reducing the cost of the improvements and encouraging development in particular areas. MOVED by Oates, SECONDED by Blacker to close the public hearing. Those voting yes: unanimous. MOTION CARRIED (CONSIDER BILL NO. 19 (ORDINANCE 2801) THE APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009 -2010 WITH THE REQUEST TO WAIVE THE THREE READING PROCESS AND PASS ON THE FIRST READING BY TITLE ONLY) BOOK 50 PAGE 112 The Mayor read the ordinance by title only: AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2009 APPROPRIATING THE SUM OF $47,686,428 TO DEFRAY THE EXPENSE AND LIABILITIES OF THE CITY OF CALDWELL, IDAHO, FOR SAID FISCAL YEAR, AUTHORIZING A LEVY OF SUFFICIENT TAX UPON THE TAXABLE PROPERTY AND SPECIFYING THE OBJECTS AND PURPOSES FOR WHICH SAID APPROPRIATION IS MADE.

Those voting no: none. Absent and /or not voting: none. MOTION CARRIED (PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED FEES IN EXCESS OF 5% OF THE AMOUNT PREVIOUSLY CHARGED) E1Jay Waite, 411 Blaine Street, outlined the proposed fees in excess of five percent (5 %) of the amount previously charged as proposed by the Recreation Department, the Planning & Zoning Department and the City Clerk. He noted that the majority of the proposed increases occur in the Recreation Department for elective recreation programs for the community. The increases are due mainly from the instructors to cover their cost of the classes. The Planning & Zoning Department Director has requested four new fees and increases and the City Clerk has requested two increases to cover the cost of providing information. He noted that he has reviewed the fees, deemed them appropriate, and recommended them for adoption. Dana Vance, 103 North Indiana, expressed her concern that her comments have not been regarded by Council in past. She stated her disagreement with any proposed fee increases due to the economic climate ofthe community. Gary Vance, 103 North Indiana, indicated that he agreed with previous testimony given by Dana Vance. Councilman Oates stated that due to the economic climate, he also had reservations toward fee increases. He noted that he supported the proposed increases due to the fact they are stipulated as "user fees" by those interested in a taking a particular class and thus do not impact the general tax payer. However, if too low of a fee is charged, then the burden is placed back on the taxpayer to make up the difference. He reported that each fee has been considered and the impact it will have on the community as a whole. The Mayor addressed Mrs. Vance about her comments not being regarded by Council in the past. He reported that Council has always appreciated past input by Mrs. Vance and her husband, especially as it relates to the newly revised Sign Ordinance. He acknowledged their expert advice and recommendations made concerning that document. He explained that Council's decision making process always involves public input and then determining what is best for the community as a whole. Councilman Callsen noted that the new fees being proposed by the Planning & Zoning actually lower the renewal fees for certain permits. Mr. Waite indicated that if Council denied increasing the existing Home Occupation Permit, Temporary Use Permit, and Transient Merchant fees from the Planning & Zoning Department, it would not have a devastating effect on that department since these are not significant revenues. The Planning & Zoning Director had researched these fees, but a deferment of one year would be understood. He expressed his appreciation to Mr. & Mrs. Vance for expressing their concern for such increases. MOVED by Hopper, SECONDED by Oates to close the public hearing. Those voting yes: unanimous. MOTION CARRIED (APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 124 -09 ADOPTING THE FEES FOR THE CEMETERY, PLANNING & ZONING, COMMUNITY EVENT CENTER, POLICE, FIRE, CITY CLERK PARK & RECREATION, BUILDING, ENGINEERING, AIRPORT, AND MAPPING DEPARTMENT) MOVED by Hopper, SECONDED by Oates to approve Resolution No. 124 -09 adopting all of the fees for the Cemetery, Planning & Zoning, Community Event Center, Police, Fire, City Clerk, Parks & Recreation, Building, Engineering, Airport, and the Mapping Department excluding the fee increases proposed by the Planning & Zoning Department for the Home Occupation Permit, Temporary Use Permit, and Transient Merchant Fees , thereby retaining the existing fee amounts for those three fees but implementing the new reduced Planning & Zoning renewal fees.

MOTION CARRIED (PROTEST HEARING TO CONSIDER THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE ASSESSMENT ROLL PREPARED IN CONNECTION WITH LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT [LID] NO. 09 -2 FOR THE DEWEY LANE SEWER IMPROVEMENTS) Tim King, 621 Cleveland Blvd., presented the staff report and outlined the facts concerning the voluntary LID request. Ron Halverson, 611 E. Dewey Lane, acknowledged being sworn in and expressed his appreciation to City staff and Council for approval and assistance in regards to LID 09 -2. He noted that in March 2009 the residents in the subject area experienced a complete septic system failure and now four of the six who signed the LID petition have already hooked up to the City's public sewer system.

MOTION CARRIED (CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSED TRANSFER OF CITY - OWNED REAL PROPERTY TO CANYON COUNTY KNOWN AS THE LAND UNDERLYING THE CANYON COUNTY FAIR BUILDING. THE UNDERUTILIZED PROPERTY IS PART OF A LARGER AREA KNOWN AS THE CALDWELL EVENTS CENTER OR CANYON COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS) BOOK 50 PAGE 114 By a previous motion, this item was removed from the agenda. (CONSIDER BILL NO. 14 [ORDINANCE NO. 27971 FOR TRANSFER OF CITY -OWNED UNDERUTILIZED REAL PROPERTY KNOWN AS THE CANYON COUNTY FAIR BUILDING TO CANYON COUNTY WITH A REQUEST TO WAIVE THE RULES, PASS ON THE FIRST READING, AND APPROVE THE SUMMARY FOR PUBLICATION) By a previous motion, this item was removed from the agenda. (CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING [QUASI- JUDICIAL]: CASE NUMBER SUB - 159E -06 A REQUEST BY PATRA PROPERTIES, BINGO INVESTMENTS AND LANDMARK ENGINEERING AND PLANNING FOR A TIME EXTENSION FOR ASPEN FALLS SUBDIVISION. THIS SITE IS LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF FARMWAY AND SOUTH OF USTICK ROAD) Anne Marie Skinner, 621 Cleveland Blvd., acknowledged being previously sworn in and presented the facts as stated within the staff report. She noted that there are 674 buildable lots within the development. She reported that staff (Planning & Zoning, Engineering, and Fire) reviewed the location of the approaches with the applicant as instructed by Council. They determined that the south approach off of Farmway would be used as an emergency services approach only, with appropriate signage installed to this extent. The full approach at Laster Lane will remain and then the northern right - in/right -out from Farmway will remain. All other approaches to the east, not having anything to do with Farmway, will remain as well. This recommendation satisfied staff and the applicant. The staff report includes these recommendations under Condition 6.19. Councilman Hopper expressed his concern regarding connectivity within this development and subsequent developments, especially to the north and south. Ms. Skinner reported that there is connectivity in the southern portion of the development to the east. She explained that it is impossible to provide connectivity to the south inasmuch as three existing single - family residential homes are located south of Aspen Falls, which are part of the county. Connectivity to the north is limited due to small amount of frontage along Ustick Road. Connectivity to the east was removed from the preliminary plat by request of Council due to neighborhood opposition. Clint Boyle, 332 N. Broadmore Way, Nampa; acknowledged being previously sworn in and spoke in favor of the request. He stated his agreement with the proposed access points as negotiated with staff and the conditions of approval. Councilman Sobba explained the City's procedure in response to complaints from citizens regarding code enforcement issues. He expressed his concern with the lack of maintenance by the developer concerning weeds and trash on the parcel. The City's Code Enforcement Division has expended tax payer dollars to abate the weeds and trash from the site and liens have been placed on the property to recover these funds. He stated that each property owner has a responsibility to be good citizens, obey the laws and be good neighbors with those who would be affected. He recommended denial of the extension based on concerns from the Planning & Zoning Commission and citizens within the community. Mr. Boyle reported that he was only made aware of the weed control problem prior to the last public hearing concerning the extension request. He noted that there has been an ownership transition for the development. An agreement was originally created with the farmer who is leasing the parcel to maintain the weeds. He visited the site today and observed that weeds have been removed along Bear Lane. Cheryl Wiley, 510 Kiser Lane, acknowledged being previously sworn in and spoke in opposition to the subdivision. She stated her concern regarding traffic safety issues with the development. In rebuttal, Mr. Boyle noted that a professional traffic study was prepared as directed by the City prior to the original approval. The approved development agreement deals with mitigation fees for a traffic signal in the future under the direction of the City Engineer. The developer is willing to consent to have conditions placed upon the time extension that would bring them closer to compliance with the new traffic access management ordinance. The developer is willing to close down all of the access points along Farmway aside from Laster Lane, which is designated as a collector roadway. The developer and staff are in agreement with the revised access plan. Councilman Dakan questioned the process in collecting abatement fees attached to a parcel. In response to questions from the Mayor, Mr. Hilty stated that he would research if an actual lien is placed on the parcel or a special assessment which is connected with the tax role. MOVED by Dakan, SECONDED by Oates to close the public testimony portion of the hearing. Those voting yes: unanimous. MOTION CARRIED EVIDENCE LIST FOR CASE NO. SUB - 159E -06: BOOK 50 PAGE 115 The Mayor presented the Evidence List: staff report, short plat, sign -up sheets, CC-1000 (letter from Louise LaDuke dated July 25, 2009) and CC -1001 (large map /plat of the area presented by Clint Boyle).
