3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES:

21, 2010, as written. ALL AYES. MOTION CARRIED.
4. DISCUSSION ITEMS:
A. Updates on Parks and Pathways Activities: Talbert reported he was not able to mow the
pathway at Laguna Point as hoped for. Echeita stated that the contracted landscapers will get
to it as soon as it can be scheduled. Ferguson reported that the flood district will be doing
some tree snagging on the North and South channels of the river. Echeita reported that the
BMX group is moving dirt and the track will be built within the next couple of weeks. They
have events already planned for spring. In addition, the Velodrome lease has expired. They
are seeking grant opportunities to finish the Velodrome and the rest of the park, such as ball
fields. Stockton reported the clearing of the south channel has started and the final easements
are taking place. The clearing is being done through volunteer efforts of the Eagle Fire
Department. The parks and pathways survey was discussed at length with a few minor
changes. Aaron was thanked for her hard work and a great survey. Motion was made by
Stockton and seconded by McColl to approve the survey as amended and agreed upon. ALL
AYES. MOTION CARRIED.
B. City of Eagle Impact Fee Projects and Discussion: Vern updated the group on the progress.
He is working on a map the group can work with to designate park locations and types. He
explained there are three definitions/types of parks at this time. 1) community parks which
are 10 acres or greater and are used for large events; 2) neighborhood parks are more compact
with 4 to 6 acres; and 3) soccer/ball parks with large areas for fields and parking. When we
cost out the Capital Improvement Plan we will be looking at locations for the overall plan.
Guerber Park cost approximately $195k per acre, a soccer/ball park costs approximately $35k
per acre to develop. After the survey results are tabulated, that information can be used along
with the map to start pinpointing locations and a wish list for projects. Echeita stated that a

Re: Park "Deficiency" Calculation
2010 Impact Fee Update
Mike:
As a portion of the Impact Fee Update, a calculation of park acreage deficiency was performed
in accordance with the requirements of Idaho Code. A key element of the calculation hinged on
the application of the criteria for "developed" parks. Developed City of Eagle parks, including
the new Guerber Park but not including the Eagle Sports Park, make up 31.82 acres.
Eagle Sports Park Analysis
The Eagle Sports Park is comprised of several components; some are developed and some
remain undeveloped. The overall park is 80.9 acres. Of this acreage 32.25 acres would be
classified as undeveloped. This area includes future playing fields that will require extensive
terracing before they can be utilized (24 acres) and the partially constructed 8.25 acre Velodrome
development that currently is incomplete and incapable of being utilized for its intended use.
The remaining 48.65 acres is currently developed. The skate park and restroom facilities account
for approximately 5 acres. The balance of the Sports Park has been developed into a mountain -
bike or BMX park with extensive trails and technical skills apparatus. This 43 acre bicycle park
fills a legitimate function as a park, albeit distinct from other parks in the City system that are
highly dependent on irrigated improvements. The developed bicycle park component is a
"destination park".
The combination of developed parks owned and maintained by the City of Eagle is 80.47 acres.
This exceeds the "developed park" requirement of 70.52 acres based on the City's population of
21,370 (Compass, February 23, 2009). Therefore the City of Eagle has no deficiency at the
present time that would necessitate annual General Fund contributions.
