(CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCUSSING THE YOUTH MASTER
PLAN)
Council Members present: Blacker, Ozuna, Hopper, Callsen, Dakan, and Sobba.
Staff Members in attendance: Lourdes Matsumoto (Executive Assistant to the Mayor).
Guests in attendance: Melinda Allgood (Caldwell Fire Department – Fire Prevention Division), Sandee
Garcia (Workforce Consultant/Department of Labor), Elizabeth Anzaldua (Workforce Consultant/Idaho
Department of Labor) Kim Ivacek (Executive Director of Hope’s Door), and D.L. Maitland (Citizen of
Caldwell).
The Mayor declared the workshop open.
Lourdes Matsumoto, 411 Blaine Street, distributed copies of the proposed Youth Master Plan and presented
the staff report noting that a partnership had been formed with the Caldwell School District, College of
Idaho, Southwest District Health, Southwest District Health, The Mentoring Network, Hope’s Door,
College of Idaho, Idaho Department of Labor, Caldwell YMCA, West Valley Medical Center, and students
from Caldwell High School and Vallivue High School to formulate the document. She reported that this is
the first Youth Master Plan developed for a municipality within the State of Idaho.
In October, with the help of the Caldwell School District, over one thousand surveys were distributed to
parents and students at the elementary, middle, and high schools. The advisory groups met and discussed
the results of the surveys and offered advice and recommendations for the issues that were of most concern
to the community. Sub-committees led by college students were formed to discuss the results of the
surveys and suggestions offered by the advisory panel. The students brainstormed and came up with the
most effective solutions for their peers as well as the young children in the community. The subcommittees
prepared their recommendations and took them to the advisory panel for approval. The coalition then
prepared the plan based off of the findings of the surveys and the recommendations provided by the
subcommittees.
Discussion followed by Members of the City Council concerning informative content and creative layout of
the document.
Melinda Allgood spoke in favor of the plan.
Sandee Garcia spoke in favor of the plan.
The Mayor noted that the Bikes and Pathway Committee has made significant progress in planning for
connected pathways through the City.
D.L. Maitland spoke commented on the importance of moral values being taught to the youth within the
community.

OLD BUSINESS:
(PUBLIC HEARING [LEGISLATIVE] [CONTINUED FROM JANUARY 18, 2011]: CASE
NO. OA-135-10 [CITY CENTER SIGN ORDINANCE] TO CONSIDER THE REQUEST BY
THE CALDWELL PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT TO AMEND THE CURRENT
SIGN ORDINANCE CONCERNING THE CITY CENTER ZONE)
Henry Busse, 520 East Logan, questioned why off-site signs are prohibited within the downtown area.
The Mayor explained that the ordinance would allow for the City to have an off-premise reader board
sign which could display information about events, public meetings, workshops, parades, etc., as well
as businesses (with consent of the City) would also advertise on the sign. Off-premise signs within
other commercial zones are permitted with the granting of a special use permit.
Stephanie Williams, 407 Oak Street, asked if the information sign has already been placed within the
downtown area.
The Mayor responded that the ordinance only addresses the allowance of the sign. No sign has been
purchased.
In response to questions from Councilman Hopper, Ms. Skinner responded that the images of proposed
directional or information signage (which were provided to her from Councilman Hopper) were
forwarded to the Chamber of Commerce for comments from its members. The reader board signage
as proposed by City staff was the only option favorably accepted by the local business owners.
Councilman Hopper expressed his concern regarding the determination of the sign’s location being
made without Council’s input.
The Mayor noted that purchase of such signage would need to be a budget item, which would be
determined by Council. A special use permit could also be required for this signage as mandated
within other commercial zones/
Anne Marie Skinner noted that a sign permit is required for all signage. The sign permit application
requires the signature of the property owner. In this case, the property owner would be the City and
thus the Mayor’s signature would be required. At the Mayor’s discretion, he could bring the item to
Council for final determination.
MOVED by Blacker, SECONDED by Callsen to continue the public hearing to the next Regular City
Council Meeting to be held on April 18, 2011 and 7:00 p.m.

The Mayor declared the public hearing open.
Anne Marie Skinner, 621 Cleveland Blvd, presented the staff report and outlined the facts as written
within the staff report. She noted that staff and the Hearing Examiner recommend approval of the
request. She presented an aerial of the site, which the Mayor labeled as CC-1000. She noted that the
property was originally zoned M-1 (Light Industrial) and was rezoned in 2003 to C-3. The original
rezone request from the applicant for the surrounding parcels did not include the subject property. In
researching the files, it appears that the subject property was involuntarily included in the rezone by a
previous City member.
Discussion followed by Council Members concerning this matter. It was noted that the subject
property rezone was only outlined within the Development Agreement, not the original rezone
application.
st
Ms. Skinner noted that the subject property does not front 21 Avenue. All of the right-of-way along
st
21 associated with the original rezone has been obtained by the City. Ms. Skinner stated that the
Development Agreement indicated the applicant may rezone any of the properties back to M-1 without
any fees being assessed.
Carl Woodburn, 14169 Locust Lane, Nampa, acknowledged being sworn in and spoke in favor of the
request. He noted that he was unaware that the property had been rezoned from M-1 to C-3 in 2003
under the direction of the previous Planning & Zoning Director.
Ms. Skinner verified that the request was brought forward without any charge to the applicant.
