Mayor Nancolas reported on the Canyon County Urban Renewal Plan. Their plan addresses
areas that are common to our plan, but located outside the corporate city limits. The County’s
plan mirrors the City’s plan for the overlap area, and includes a small area near Lakey’s. To
facilitate the management of the common areas, to hold the County harmless from bonding
activities, and to eliminate the fear of future legislation, a joint powers agreement has been
proposed and drafted between Canyon County, City of Caldwell, URA of Canyon County,
and URA of the City of Caldwell. The agreement calls for the formation of a Board of
Commissioners that will look at the expenditure of money in areas that are not candidates for
annexation. The Board will review issues related only to revenue allocation and
determination of whether or not dollars are to be expended. They will not address planning
and zoning issues.
A motion was made by T. Rinearson to approve the joint powers agreement and authorize
ElJay Waite to sign the agreement on behalf of the Caldwell Urban Renewal Agency,
seconded by M. Gable and passed unanimously.
