Addition to Public Works Fleet - One 2026 John Deere Wheel Loader
Presentation/Discussion (Director Alexander): Approval is requested to add a new
vehicle to the City fleet - a 2026 John Deere wheel loader for the Water Division - purchased
through a cooperative contract for $285,215.40. Because this is an expansion rather than a
replacement,
it require separate Council action. Director Fredericksen clarified a Council
member’s question about what a wheel loader is, explaining it as a large, four-wheel loader
commonly used for moving substantial material, unlike a backhoe.
Motion: Accept and approve the purchase of one 2026 John Deere Wheel Loader from the
Sourcewell cooperative purchasing #011723-JDC from John Deere for a total of
$285,215.40 and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the necessarydocuments.

Policy 330 - Drug & Alcohol Policy: Adds public transportation employees (for future
expansion) to the group eligible for drug/alcohol testing and corrects a decimal error
related to allowable blood alcohol content.
Policy on Court/Legal Practices: Clarifies confusing language about court-duty
compensation to make clear that employees are paid only for work-related court
appearances, not personal legal matters. Additional discussion clarified circumstances
where employees may be named in lawsuits individually versus in their official City role.
Policy 500 - Salary Schedule & Pay Grades: Adjusts effective dates for pay changes
because the current HR/payrolL system cannot process mid-cycle changes. Changes
will take effect on the first day of the following pay period until the Workday system
goes live.

Surplus used Demand Shifter to the College of Eastern Idaho (CEI)
Presentation/Discussion (CFO Roos): Idaho Falls Power requested approval to surplus
and donate an obsolete solar-panel battery backup system originally purchased in 2012
usingfederal grant funding. The battery vendor has since gone out of business, eliminating
technical supportand renderingthe equipment unusable.The unit also needs to be
removed to accommodatean upcoming parking-lot expansion.The College of Eastern
Idaho expressed interest in using the equipmentfor educational purposes, and City policy
allows donation to a community college. MunicipalServices approved the request. Council
members confirmed the equipment has no remaining market value and that the City had
benefited from it during its operational life.
Motion: Approve the surplus retirement of IFP’s used Demand Shifter to the College of
Eastern Idaho (CEI).

Legislative Hearing for Consideration of an Ordinance approving the Urban
Renewal Plan for the Riverside Urban Renewal Project and a Resolution approving an
Intergovernmental Agreement with Bonneville County
1.
25-467
Presentation/Discussion (Meghan Conrad, Brad Cramer, Director Sanner): The
ordinance includes several exhibits:
1. The resolution of the Planning and Zoning Commission for the City of Idaho Falls, Idaho,
validating conformity of the Urban Renewal Plan for the First Amendment to the River
Commons Urban Renewal Project with the City of Idaho Falls’ ComprehensivePlan
2. Legal Notice for the City Council Meeting
3. Riverside Urban Renewal Plan
4. Bonneville County Ordinance - Transfer of Powers
5. Intergovernmental Agreement with Bonneville County
6. Riverside Ordinance summary
7. Riverside Ordinance
*lt was noted that there is an error on the presentation showing Bannock County (Slide ^6).
Also, the amount on Slide #20 should be closer fo $26,000,000.00*
The discussion centered on a proposed urban renewal/revenue allocation district
designed to accelerate development along a key area of the City, including portions of the
Snake River corridor. The plan includes careful financial planning, economic feasibility
studies, and statutory compliance, ensuring the district stays within the 10% valuation limit
of the City’s taxable value, with a 20-year termination date and clear disposition of assets
at closure. Revenue projections, based on private investment of roughly $600 million and
anticipated public project costs of $63 million, indicate that both owner participation areas
will have sufficientfunding for reimbursable expenses, with significantexcess revenue
available for additional community projects.
Council members discussed the district’s boundaries, noting some public park
areas are included while other potential sites, like the islands under the dam, could be
added laterthrough amendments without changingthe district’s expiration date. The
proposed development aligns with City planning goals for commercialand mixed-use
projects and defers to City planning documents for permitting, including any future overlays
along the river corridor.
The district is seen as one of the largest urban renewal areas in the City,
comparable to Snake River Landing, and represents a historic level of investment in the
community. Urban renewal is considered a tool to overcome challenges such as geologic
obstacles and historic debris, ensuring infrastructure is properly constructed and projects
proceed efficiently. Council members highlighted the plan’s broad benefits: protecting the
river corridor, enhancing recreationaland aesthetic assets, supporting private investment,
growing the tax base, and creating long-term communityinfrastructure.

Hello,
I
am writing to inform the parties to this email the intention of EICAP to seek a contract with
Idaho Falls Power. This is not a new contract, the two parties have been engaged in this
relationship for decades, the change is my position as the sole signatory agent for EICAP and
my position on the Idaho Falls City Council.
I
am writing this email at the urging of our City
Attorney Zach Jones.
He advised me to tell you all of my conflict of interest and my intention to not participate in
the vote or discussion of this matter when
it emerges at council, lama fixed salaried
employee at EICAP and cannot benefit through gaining this contract, for many reasons, not
the least of which is the contract has been in place for many years.
I
do not hold any
ownership in EICAP as
it is a 501C3 and a Non-Profit organization.
Thank you.
John Radford
