MOTION CARRIED
OLD BUSINESS:
(CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING [LEGISLATIVE]: CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO THE
ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE [CHAPTER 8, ARTICLE 3 OF THE CALDWELL CITY
CODE])
The Council President declared the public hearing continued and open.
th
Mark Hilty, 1303 12 Avenue Road, Nampa, presented the revised draft ordinance and outlined the
proposed text amendments. Mr. Hilty noted that this is the third time that this item has been before
Council as a public hearing. Revisions include matters dealing with: 1) The authorization for Council
to adopt fees which would distinguish between animals with micro-chips and animals without micro-
chips. (All animal control fees would be approved by resolution.); 2) An exemption to the small dog
collar/tag requirements could be requested if the animal has been micro-chipped; however, the
purchase of the license would be mandatory; 3) The non-allowance of animals in government
buildings that are used for government purposes and open to the public. (Exceptions to this include
service-based animals or law enforcement dogs.); 4) Removal of provisions concerning the unlawful
acts relating to animal fighting since this issue is covered in State Code. The proposed ordinance now
references the State Code; 5) Section dealing attack animals was removed noting that this offense will
be charged under a criminal statute dealing with assault or battery through the prosecuting attorney’s
office.
Councilman Callsen suggested that CPD research the possibility of smaller tags for miniature canines.
Councilman Hopper suggested that the ordinance in the future be amended to address transporting
animals in carriers on modes of public transportation.
Denyce Vertie, 1207 Savannah Street, expressed her concern with the proposed $5 daily hold fee and
kennel license fees. She suggested that the hold fee be increased to cover overhead expenses of the
animal shelter.

MOTION CARRIED
(PUBLIC HEARING [LEGISLATIVE]: CONSIDER NEW FEES FOR ANIMAL CONTROL
LICENSES AND INFRACTIONS)
The Council President declared the public hearing open.
ElJay Waite, 411 Blaine Street, presented the staff report and outlined the proposed fees as follows:
City of Caldwell Canine License Fees & Infractions Schedule
License FeesAlteredUnaltered
Annual Canine
License $12.00 $48.00
Three-year
Canine License $33.00 $130.00
Senior Canine

Kennel License $ 25.00 $25.00

Daily Hold Fee $5.00 $5.00
(Senior discount applies to residents 65 years and older for up to 3 canines)
Infractions1st offense 2nd offense 3rd & subsequent offenses
Failure to: Altered
UnalteredAlteredUnalteredAlteredUnaltered
Peace & Quiet $50.00 $50.00 $75.00 $75.00 $100.00 $100.00
Confine Canine $50.00 $150.00 $75.00 $225.00 $100.00 $300.00
Discussion was held concerning the addition of a discounted fee for micro-chipped canines. Mr.
Waite reported that the daily hold fee was recommended by the Canyon County Animal Shelter,
noting that if the shelter sees the need to alter this fee, that request can be brought back before
Council in the future.
Mr. Waite recommended that Council allow for a micro-chipped canine amount within the fee
schedule at a rate of: $10 annual fee for an altered dog and $27.00 for a three-year license for an
altered dog. There would be no change in the unaltered dog fees.
Mr. Waite noted that he had compared the canine license fees with neighboring municipalities. The
City of Boise charges $44.50 for a non-sterile dog over one year of age and a non-sterile dog under
one year is $23.50. The altered dog fee for a one-year license is $18.50 (Caldwell’s fee would be
$12). Boise’s senior citizen rate is $10 (Caldwell’s would be $6.00).
Councilman Hopper asked for clarification concerning the confine canine fee of $50 vs. the daily
hold fee of $5. Mr. Waite reported that the daily hold fee is a fee that would be charged to the City
of Caldwell for any dog held by the animal shelter in a criminal case where the dog needs to
quarantined and held under public control. The $50 confinement fee is an infraction fee which is
associated with the “dog-at-large” provision of the ordinance.
Councilman Hopper expressed his concerns regarding the kennel fee. He expressed his support for
the separate license fees associated with micro-chipped animals.
In response to questions from Councilman Hopper, Chief Allgood reported that the judge will set the
misdemeanor fine amount on a third offense and thus no dollar amount should be stated on the
infraction schedule.
In response to questions from Councilman Callsen, Chief Allgood stated that persons who feel that
their dog is too small to wear a collar should have the veterinarian document this information and
then micro-chip the animal. The purchase of a dog license is still mandatory.
Anne Marie Skinner, 621 Cleveland Blvd., suggested that the kennel licensing process be handled
strictly through the city and not by local veterinarians. Currently, the City Code only allows kennel
licenses to be issued within two separate zones, which do not include residential areas. The process
should include the Planning & Zoning Department.
Mr. Waite suggested that the City Clerk issue the kennel licenses. He noted that a 90-day grace
period will be given for pet owners to license their dogs between December 1, 2011 and February
29, 2012. No citations will be issued during this period. There will be a media campaign regarding
the new dog licensing process and a dog license brochure/application will be going out in each water
st
bill on December 1.
Discussion followed concerning the feasibility of an increased kennel fee for unaltered dogs.
Councilman Dakan stated that the fee schedule will be reviewed each year and adjustments may be
recommended at that time.
(CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 161-11 ADOPTING THE “FEE SCHEDULE FOR THE CITY
OF CALDWELL ANIMAL CONTROL LICENSE FEES AND INFRACTION SCHEDULE.”)
MOVED by Hopper, SECONDED by Sobba to adopt Resolution No. 161-11 with the additional
provision to allow for a $2.00 reduced fee for altered micro-chipped canines on an annual basis and a
$6.00 reduction of fees for altered micro-chipped canines for a three-year license.

OF LEGACY FALLS SUBDIVISION. THIS WILL BE THE FINAL TIME EXTENSION
ALLOWED. THE SITE IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF FLORIDA
AVENUE AND KARCHER ROAD)
The Council President explained the quasi-judicial process and declared the public hearing open. The
City Clerk was asked to swear in those who would be giving public testimony.
Anne Marie Skinner, 621 Cleveland Blvd., acknowledged being sworn in, presented the staff report
and outlined the facts as written. She presented an aerial map of the site, which the Council President
labeled as CC-1000 and a revised staff report labeled as CC-1001 (altering Item 6.2 on page 3). She
noted that Council granted a one-year time extension in 2010 extending the preliminary plat approval
to October 15, 2011. On October 14, 2011 the owner submitted a request for a second and final time
extension. She explained that at the time the owner submitted the application, the applicant was not
aware that this was the final time extension for a period of three years. When they received the staff
report, they noted their error and asked for a period of six years. Staff recommends the six-year time
extension to expire October 15, 2017 since it is a commercial subdivision.
Clint Boyle of Landmark Engineering, 332 Broadmore Way, Nampa, acknowledged being sworn in
and spoke in favor of the request. He noted that the applicant has expended a significant amount of
time and dollars into the development. The applicant is active in seeking tenants for the development.
The applicant concurs with the amended staff report.
Councilman Hopper reported that the parcel’s owner has been contacted regarding weed control issues
in the past. The owner needs to be made aware of the importance concerning the upkeep of the
property without the City Code Enforcement Division being involved.
Mr. Boyle concurred with Councilman Hopper’s directive.

CITY ENGINEER/PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND THE CITY ATTORNEY TO AMEND
CHAPTER 13, ARTICLE 1, OF CALDWELL CITY CODE, REGARDING STORM WATER
MANAGEMENT AND DISCHARGE CONTROL)
The Council President declared the Public Hearing open.
Anne Marie Skinner, 621 Cleveland Blvd. presented the staff report and reported that the hearing was
properly noticed. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the ordinance amendment on October
11, 2011 and recommended its approval.
Brent Orton, 621 Cleveland Blvd., outlined the contents of the ordinance. Mr. Orton stated that the
ordinance is a requirement of the EPA under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
Permit for the City’s separate storm/sewer system (MS4). The ordinance addresses compliance issues
associated with the MS4 permit including the prohibition of illicit discharges or discharges in the storm
water system that are not properly treated or inappropriate. It speaks at length to protecting water
quality through appropriate best management practices and controls. It also addresses the storm water
pollution prevention plan program, which the City is now required to administer under the provisions
of the MS4 permit.
Mr. Orton continued by reporting that residents are allowed to maintain their car washing activities at
their homes; however, commercial car washing facilities are no longer able to discharge into the
system. Enforcement provisions are stated within the ordinance. Mr. Orton emphasized that this is not
a storm water utility ordinance. The only fee associated with its approval is for plan review costs as
currently implemented through the Engineering Department fee schedule or EPA violation fines as
duly noted.
Mr. Orton noted that language on page 6, Item #2 of the document needs modification. He will work
with the City Attorney concerning amending the ordinance to address not allowing refuse on catch
basins.
Discussion followed concerning the response of Pioneer Irrigation to the proposed ordinance.
th
Avenue Road, Nampa, reported on the reasoning of the ordinance. He noted
Mark Hilty, 1303 12
that the requirements for the ordinance have been imposed by the federal government. This is not an
ordinance dealing with funding. The City of Lewiston attempted a funding mechanism for their storm
water utility, which the Supreme Court recently struck down. The City of Nampa has received a Tort
Claim Notice over the funding mechanism they recently imposed dealing with storm water. Mr. Hilty
addressed the contents of a letter recently received by Pioneer Irrigation and the impact of the
ordinance on their facilities. He noted that enactment of the ordinance is required by December 19,
2011.
Councilman Hopper noted that the proposed ordinance was not part of the supporting material for the
Council Agenda Packet.
Mr. Hilty recommended that the public hearing be continued to December 5, 2011 with consideration
of the accompanying ordinance at that time as well.
