Minutes - 1993 - City Council - 02/09/1993 - RegularEAGLE CITY COUNCIL MEETING
February 9, 1993
Pre Council: Discussion regarding pressurized irrigation systems
resulted in the suggestion to add a sentence to the subdivision
application advising the developer the City encourages the use of
pressurized systems, where available and to explain why the project
cannot use it, if that is the case.
Overnight camping was discussed. The City needs to post 2
permanent signs informing the public of the Overnight Camping
Ordinance prohibited along the river. The sheriff's department may
have some ideas as to the best location for the signs.
COMMITTEE REPORTS~
Schools: The Meridian School District did purchase the S.E. corner
of the Crandlemire property for a middle school. There is a
possibility for 2 more schools in the Eagle area.
Sewer: The District approved the Redwood Creek Subdivision for
sewer services. Aquila Lakes Subdivision annexation was approved
contingent to gravity flow, the District does not want to use lift
stations.
Downtown Development: In two weeks, weather permitting, the
project will start again with sidewalks to Stierman on the S side.
The sidewalks on the N side end with this building. It was
suggested it would be best not to complete the sidewalk project at
the Unimerc because of the ACHD Eagle-Ranch project for 1994.
Eagle Fun Days: YZAGUIRRE asked the City Attorney to review the
liquor ordinances to determine if an amendment needs to be
initiated for a 1 day permit only if the City of Eagle approves the
permit.
Parks: The bid proposal is almost complete and will be published
soon.
Mary Berent, P&Z liaison gave a report on Planning and Zoning
activities within the last month.

COPIER MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT: The Council reviewed the bid offered
and asked the City Clerk to contact Finch Brown and Ren Gardner for
additional bids to bring to the next Council meeting.
TELEPHONE BIDS~ Two bids were received to add a 3rd line to City
Hall, in order to use the back office for the building inspector
and police department. Moved by YZAGUIRRE and seconded by BASTIAN
to accept the bid from Executone in the amount of $725.00. ALL
AYE~ MOTION CARRIED.
ATTORNEY'S REPORT~ Securing an appraiser~ A recommendation from
Davis, Wright, Tremaine was to retain Mr. Don Reeding, of Ben
Johnson Associates, however, the estimate to prepare a book value
estimate was $10,000, which is more than originally determined.
The $10,000 is a cap. Bob DeShazo would need to agree with the
recommendation. There may be no need for the study if Mr. DeShazo
and the City negotiate the cost of the water system and come to an
agreement. The net book value of the company is estimated to be
from $700,000 to $900,000. The book value is the actual cost of
the system less depreciation to date. There is no value to future
revenue in this cost.
Moved by EASON and seconded by BASTIAN to authorize the City
Attorney to approach Mr. DeShazo to seek a negotiated agreement
based on the value of the system as set forth by the PUC. In 2
weeks, when we have clarification on the City's ability to fund a
bond based on the information in the pro forma prepared by the
City's accountant and reviewed by financial officials, determine
either to proceed, or not to proceed, with an appraiser,(if there
is a need for an appraisal). ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
Street Light Ordinance: The P&Z Commissioners did not have the
standards needed in order to make a determination the ordinance was
adequate. The standards need to be submitted with the ordinance in
order to clarify. The ordinance was patterned after the Boise
ordinance as Council instructed, the City Engineer reviewed the
standards.
The City Attorney prepared an opinion on building permits issued
prior to final plat recording. Clarification needs to be made in
the code when a developer should be allowed to seek a building
permit in a subdivision prior to recording of the subdivision.
Consideration needs to be made to insure there is no health and
public safety hazard. Mona will submit a proposal for an ordinance
amendment in the next month.
Sheriff's contract: The City Attorney has reviewed the contract,
is making some changes, but the agreement should be ready for
execution later this week.
Franchises: A letter to Mr. DeShazo has been drafted but the City
Attorney, Mona Mack needs clarification regarding the cost of the
application, and the bonding. The Council estimated the fee should
be $350 for expenses associated with the processing of the
application. The Attorney suggested bonding should be required and
that bonding should be $500,000 providing that amount is a
reasonable sum over and above a $100,000 bond. The Attorney will
check the differences and adjust the application accordingly.
CLAIMS AGAINST THE CITY: Moved by BASTIAN and seconded by BLAIR to
approve the ICDBG drawdown for $18,119. for Wright Bros. and $1,041
for Ida-Ore as presented. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
Moved by EASON and seconded by YZAGUIRRE to approve the claims as
presented. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
