6.(7.) PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Ordinance No. 599: Prohibition of the landing of helicopters within corporate city limits,
providing exemptions and penalties. (ME)
Mayor introduces the issue.
Code Enforcement Officer Echeita: If you will recall we had a helicopter land within the City
limits in February which raised questions from residents and the Council. Staff has been
working on the ordinance which is being presented tonight. General discussion.
Mayor opens the Public Hearing
John DeThomas, State Administrator for the Division of Aeronautics. I am speaking in strong
opposition to this ordinance because it would be unenforceable. It is almost impossible for pilots
to know all of these regulations and where they apply. Aviation brings in a tremendous amount
of funding to the State. Any restrictions are going to have an economic impact. Many of these
helicopters are flown by pilots from out of State and it is impossible for them to know the
Page 2
K:\COUNCIL\MlNUTES\Temporary Minutes Work Area\CT -04-15-08min.doc
regulations and they will be unable to identify the location of each city boundaries. We don't
regulate aviation within the State. General discussion.
Greg Swanson, I am an attorney in Boise and I am also a pilot and I'm here representing a group
of pilots. I am here in regards to the safety issue. The safety issues have always been addressed
by the Federal Aviation Administration. During my research I determined that this was one
isolated incident. Helicopters will be used more in the future to string cables. It is my
understanding that the FAA reviewed this and did not find any violations to the regulations.
General discussion.
Code Enforcement Officer Echeita: Provides Council an overview of the ordinance discusses
how many helicopters have landed in the City, discussion on the conversation with the FAA and
the rules and regulations that are already in place.
General Council discussion.
Patricia Minkiewicz, Deerfield Court, I always believe it is better to be proactive. If helicopters
are flying over Eagle then we need an ordinance. It seems the City is more concerned with the
landing than the flying over. A pilot should have a permit; there is no harm in that. Why does
this ordinance just have to cover the City, how about the area of impact? I would like to see
Council add "the area of impact. General discussion.
Saundra McDavid, the main reason I want to speak tonight is that this is a conservative State and
I don't think we need to have more rules and regulations. I have spoken to the pilot in question
and he has told me that the FAA did determine that there was no violation. The ordinance
doesn't address flying over just landing.
General discussion.
John DeThomas: Reads some of the regulations from the FAA code.
General discussion.
Guerber moves to continue Ordinance No. 599 with the Public Hearing Open to the May
13,2008 City Council meeting. Seconded by Huffaker. ALL AYES: MOTION

INFORMATION BRIEFING ON EAGLE SEWER DISTRICT
b
y
Jim Brooks, Chairman of the Board, on 15 April 2008
for
EAGLE CITY MAYOR & COUNCIL
Mayor & Members of the Council -
Thank you for allowing us this time on your always busy agenda.
MY NAME IS JIM BROOKS. I AM A RETIRED PUBLIC SERVANT AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE EAGLE SEWER DISTRICT. I HAVE LIVED IN EAGLE FOR ALMOST 6 YEARS AND HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR
4 YEARS. I BECAME CHAIRMAN 4 MONTHS AGO WHEN OUR LEADER, MICHAEL GIFFORD, ACCEPTED
EMPLOYMENT IN COLORADO. HIS IS A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW BELIEVE ME.
THE OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR 5 -MEMBER BOARD ARE MR. CHUCK FERGUSON, VICE CHAIR, MR. ED
HENDERSHOT, MR. IRV BALLOU AND OUR NEWEST MEMBER FOR THE SECOND TIME AND FORMER CHAIRMAN OF
THE BOARD, MR. JIM GRUBER. OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IS MR. LYNN MOSER AND OUR BUSINESS MANAGER IS
MRS. LYNNE SEDLASEK.
I WOULD LIKE TO START THIS EVENING BY FIRST REVIEWING WHAT WE ARE NOT -
A.. WE ARE NOT PART OF CITY GOVERNMENT THOUGH WE ARE FIRST COUSINS. NOR ARE WE A PART OF
COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
B. WE MAKE NO LAWS AS WE HAVE NO ORDINANCE MAKING AUTHORITY.
C. WE ARE NOT IN THE LAND USE PLANNING BUSINESS.
D. WE DO NOT RESTRICT OUR SERVICES TO THE CITY BOUNDARIES.
NOW FOR WHAT WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO -
1. FIRST OF ALL OUR PLANNING AREA INCLUDES EAGLE CITY PROPER AND THE AREA EAST TO THE
BOISE CITY AND GARDEN CITY LIMITS; WEST TO HIGHWAY 16; NORTH TO HOMER ROAD AND SOUTH TO CHINDEN
BLVD. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PLAN FOR WASTEWATER SERVICES IN THIS ENTIRE AREA AS IT IS
DEVELOPED. OUR PLANNING AREA DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENTS OF AVIMORE, SPRING VALLEY, M3,
DRY CREEK OR SHADOW VALLEY ALL OF WHICH WILL INCLUDE THEIR OWN WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES
AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT. AS A FOOTNOTE HERE - WE HAVE CONSULTED WITH ALL OF THESE
DEVELOPERS AND ARE ANXIOUS TO DISCUSS POLICIES AND PROPOSALS FROM ANY THAT MAY LOOK TO US FOR
THE ULTIMATE OWNERSHIP, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS.
2. OUR TREATMENT FACILITIES ARE LOCATED ABOUT ONE MILE WEST OF EAGLE RD. SOUTH OF
HIGHWAY 44 AND NORTH OF THE NORTH CHANNEL OF THE BOISE RIVER. THESE FACILITIES INCLUDE 2 LAGOONS
PAGE 1 OF 3 PAGES
FOR PRIMARY TREATMENT AND OUR EFFLUENT IS THEN PUMPED TO THE WEST BOISE WASTEWATER TREATMENT
PLANT FOR FINAL TREATMENT AND DISCHARGE INTO THE BOISE RIVER. AS A SEPARATE DISTRICT WE HAVE AN
ACKNOWLEDGMENT BY EPA THAT WE DO DISCHARGE INTO THE BOISE RIVER BUT THROUGH THE BOISE PLANT.
WE CURRENTLY SERVE A POPULATION OF ABOUT 17,000 CUSTOMERS THROUGH ABOUT 7000 CONNECTIONS TO
OUR SYSTEM AND PROCESS ABOUT 1.5 MILLION GALLONS OF WASTEWATER PER DAY. OUR PLANT CAN
ACCOMMODATE TWICE THAT AMOUNT.
3. AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLAIN OUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY OF BOISE. TO
START WITH - IT COULD NOT BE BETTER. WE BUY "CAPACITY" IN THEIR PLANT. IT IS PAID FOR AS BOISE
RECEIVES A PORTION OF EACH CONNECTION FEE WE RECEIVE. WE ALSO PAY THE 0 & M COSTS FOR TREATING
OUR EFFLUENT. WE ENJOY A FINE WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BOISE FOLKS, PAY OUR OWN WAY AS WE
SHOULD AND RECEIVE THE VERY BEST PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. WE POINT TO THIS RELATIONSHIP AS A MODEL
FOR SUCCESSFUL INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION. AS AN EXAMPLE: WE RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE
LINERS IN OUR LAGOONS THAT WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF FAILURE DO TO AGE. TO DO THIS WE HAD TO CEASE
OUR TREATMENT ACTIVITIES AND DRAIN THE LAGOONS. THIS REQUIRED THAT WE PUMP 100% OF OUR
UNTREATED WASTEWATER TO BOISE. THEY AGREED TO ACCEPT THIS ARRANGEMENT AT A COST VERY
BENEFICIAL TO OUR DISTRICT. TYPICAL OF THEIR COOPERATIVE APPROACH TO OUR RELATIONSHIP. WE ARE
INDEED GRATEFUL FOR THIS FINE TWO-WAY RELATIONSHIP. AGAIN - IT COULDN'T BE BETTER.
4. TWO YEARS AGO, TRYING TO LOOK TO THE FUTURE AND KEEP AHEAD OF THE GROWTH WE HAVE ALL
SEEN, THE DISTRICT PURCHASED - FOR SOME $3 MILLION - THE 53 ACRES OF LAND NORTH OF OUR LAGOONS
AND SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 44. WE ALSO GOT ABOUT 8 ACRES OF FORMER RIGHT-OF-WAY LAND FROM ITD. AT
THE INSISTENCE OF EAGLE CITY WE ALSO SPENT A MILLION DOLLARS ON A LANDSCAPED BURM TO HIDE OUR
LAND FROM THE PUBLIC VIEW. WE ALSO ENGAGED ONE OF THE PREMIER ENGINEERING FIRMS IN THE VALLEY TO
DEVELOP OUR LONG RANGE FACILITY PLAN. IT SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND WILL
SERVE AS OUR GUIDANCE FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR SYSTEM. THE PLAN WILL ACCOMMODATE AN
ENTIRE NEW AND INDEPENDENT TREATMENT FACILITY IF SUCH SHOULD EVER BE REQUIRED SOMETIME IN THE
FUTURE. MORE ON THIS SUBJECT A BIT LATER.
5. AND NOW TO OUR BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY. OUR MONTHLY FEE - NOW $30 AFTER SOME 9 YEARS AT
$26 - AND THE SMALL AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAXES WE COLLECT (ABOUT $75,000 LAST YEAR) ARE TO PAY
FOR DEPRECIATION AND DAY-TO-DAY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM. OUR CAPITAL
INFRASTRUCTURE IS PAID FOR BY FEES FROM DEVELOPERS AND BUILDERS TO CONNECT TO OUR SYSTEM. THAT
IS - AFTER THEY HAVE PAID FOR AND INSTALLED THE COLLECTION SYSTEMS WITHIN THEIR DEVELOPMENTS. I
CAN ASSURE YOU THAT GROWTH HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO PAY ITS WAY. WE HAVE NEVER ASKED OUR
EXISTING CLIENTS TO PAY FOR DEVELOPMENT OTHER THAN THEIR OWN.
AND SPEAKING OF MONEY - OUR ANNUAL OPERATION & MAINTENANCE BUDGET IS ABOUT $2.7 MILLION. OUR
5 -YEAR CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN IS ABOUT $6.8 MILLION. WE RECENTLY RECEIVED JUDICIAL
PAGE 2 OF 3 PAGES
CONFORMATION FOR BORROWING $6.5 MILLION FROM THE STATE BOND FUND TO SUPPORT THE EMERGENCY
REPAIRS OF OUR LAGOONS LAST FALL AND THE UP -GRADE OF OUR HEAD WORKS. OUR BALANCE SHEET SHOWS
A DEPRECIATED ASSET VALUE OF ABOUT $29 MILLION. IN CASE YOU ARE INTERESTED, WE EMPLOY 9 PEOPLE -
5 AT THE PLANT WHO ARE ALL CERTIFIED OPERATORS OF OUR SYSTEM AS IS OUR GENERAL MANAGER AND 4 IN
THE BUILDING DOWN THE STREET WHO CARE FOR OUR FINANCE, ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT.
6. NOW BACK TO OUR FACILITY PLAN. ON A MAP OUR DISTRICT LOOKS LIKE A CHECKER BOARD IN
THAT ALL AREAS ARE NOT CONTIGUOUS AND MAY NEVER BE. BUT OUR FACILITY PLAN IS OUR ROAD MAP FOR
NOT ONLY THE INVESTMENTS WE HAVE ALREADY MADE BUT THOSE OF THE LONG RANGE FUTURE. IN SIMPLE
TERMS - OUR PLAN IS BASED ON YOUR PLAN. OUR CONSULTANTS HAVE USED YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN &
LAND USE DENSITIES AND THOSE OF THE COUNTY WHERE AN AREA IS NOT WITHIN YOUR IMPACT AREA, TO
ESTIMATE FUTURE REQUIREMENTS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT CAPACITY. WHEN AND IF YOUR PLAN FOR
THE WEST IS TO BE AMENDED TO CHANGE BUILDING DENSITIES WE NEED A SEAT AT THE TABLE. WHY?
BECAUSE IT COULD MEAN MANY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BOTH US AND THE DEVELOPERS IN THAT AREA
REMEMBERING THAT THE ECONOMICS OF PROVIDING CENTRALIZED WASTEWATER SERVICES FOR A RURAL HORSE
RANCH OF SEVERAL ACRES, AS OPPOSED TO A RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION ARE WHOLLY DIFFERENT. ALLOW ME
TO EXPLAIN.
OUR NEXT BIG STEP TOWARD PROVIDING SERVICES TO OUR WESTERN AREA IS BUILDING WHAT WE CALL THE
"PALMER LANE LIFT STATION" TO SERVICE THE DENSITIES CURRENTLY PLANNED FOR THE AREA. IT WILL
SERVE THE ENTIRE AREA WEST OF LINDER, SOUTH OF HOMER ROAD, NORTH OF THE NORTH CHANNEL OF THE
BOISE RIVER AND EAST OF SH 16 PUMPING WASTEWATER UPHILL, IF YOU PLEASE, TO OUR LAGOON SYSTEM. IT
IS A $3 MILLION PROJECT AND WILL TAKE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF TO BUILD. ALL YOU WILL SEE ABOVE
GROUND IS AN AESTHETICALLY PLEASING STRUCTURE THAT LOOKS LIKE A MODERN RESIDENCE OR COMMERCIAL
BUILDING. OUR FIRST CUSTOMER TO CONNECT TO THAT FACILITY MAY WELL BE A PROJECT NORTH OF BEACON
LIGHT.
7. MAYOR - MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, IN SUMMARY LET ME SAY THAT NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE
SUCCESS AND WE FEEL WE ARE SUCCESSFUL INDEED IN PROVIDING OUR COMMUNITY WITH EFFICIENT AND COST
EFFECTIVE WASTEWATER SERVICES. WE HAVE THE BUSINESS PLAN, WE HAVE THE PROFESSIONAL
MANAGEMENT, WE HAVE FINE COMMUNITY RELATIONS, WE HAVE THE LAND AND THE PLAN AND WE HAVE THE
TECHNICAL KNOW-HOW. WE CAN ALSO ASSURE COMPLIANCE WITH ANY "GREEN" DICTATES OF THE FUTURE
THAT REQUIRE RE -USE OF TREATED WASTEWATER SHOULD THAT BE THE ULTIMATE AND COLLECTIVE DECISION
FOR THE PRECIOUS COMMODITY WE ALL KNOW AS WATER.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. MAY I ADDRESS YOUR QUESTIONS?

teams do you need to
have this year?
Trainings should be
coordinated by the sub-
committee chairs and
staff partner.
Kickoff events should
take place the first to
second week of August
(on a Tuesday,
Wednesday, or
Thursday). The date may
depend on available
location(s). Try to secure
a location that people
will be excited about!
Seek sponsors to
underwrite the cost or
find a location willing to
donate the site.
Once a list of potential
sponsors has been
developed, set up
meetings with each
company. The earlier
this is started, the better!
The more lead time you
have to secure sponsors,
the more benefits you

What is Making Strides Against Breast Cancer'?
Since 1993, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer has been the American Cancer Society's
premier event to raise awareness and dollars to fight breast cancer. Making Strides' donations
support the Society's lifesaving efforts to fund groundbreaking breast cancer research,
provide up -to date prevention and early detection information, help ensure all women have
access to mammograms, and offer free programs and services to improve the quality of life
for those facing the disease.
The Walk
Making Strides is noncompetitive. The distance of the walk varies by site; it is usually five
miles or five kilometers. Individuals of all ages can participate. Walkers can take as much
time as needed to finish or they can walk as far as they are able. The event is held rain or
shine.
The success of Making Strides depends on the walkers! Organizations or businesses can
sponsor their own teams of walkers. People may form teams of family members, friends, or
coworkers. Individuals may walk on their own.
Celebrate Survivors and Honor Loved Ones
Each Making Strides event celebrates survivorship. In many cases, survivors (and often
caregivers) are recognized in a special ceremony held during the event (usually before the
start of the walk), and they are often given a gift of recognition like a survivor sash or hat,
etc. Additionally, all participants are encouraged to recognize those who have lost their lives
to the disease. One way walkers can do this is by wearing an "I am making strides for ..."
sticker, available in the National Materials Catalog.
Raise Money — Raise Awareness — Educate
While the overarching goal of Making Strides is to raise money to support lifesaving
American Cancer Society breast cancer programs, we owe it to our supporters and
communities to educate anyone and everyone about the importance of early detection and the
things people can do beyond raising dollars. The goal of every Making Strides event is for
every walker and volunteer to leave the event having learned something new and/or having
gained an enhanced commitment to getting involved in this very important cause.
