DISCUSSION ACTION ITEM – Mayor to recommend and Council to appoint Library Trustee, for a 5-year term beginning October 1, 2025 and ending September 30, 2030. ~Mayor Davidson Snarr- Stated all three candidates were present and asked that each take the floor to introduce themselves. Renae Deckard residing at 810 Monroe St., Kimberly, ID- “Thank you so much for this opportunity. The Library has always been very important to my family. When my kids were little, we went weekly. When we moved to Kimberly, the first thing we did was get a library card. We used the library more when my children were little. Now they are adults, and we end up in Twin allot. I’m not here as a critic. I love the Library. I’ve taken my friends son to different things here. But, there’s not much for my young adult children here. I would like to, I don’t know, maybe expand our community. Nothing big. Maybe a board game club. Just ideas like that. So, thank you again”. Joy Sorensen residing at 951 Bell Ln., Kimberly, ID- “First off I love reading. My mother was an educator, she was a Librarian. I served on a previous Library Board in Lehi Utah. Uhm, I love that everyone can have the opportunity to go to a Library and check out a book, or us the computer. Uhm, my children were always very privileged and we had a ton of books in our home. There are some that do not have that opportunity. That’s a good service that community Libraries provide. It's opportunities for everyone. I know we also have people that read on electronics, I’m a traditionalist, I like to read a real book. Kimberly is going in the right direction. Thinking in advance for what other people do. I think that community Libraries are the heart of communities”. Duncan- Questioned if Joy worked at the new Library building in Lehi. Joy Sorensen- Stated when she lived in Lehi it was 1993, 1995, somewhere in that time. They had a very small community. It has boomed since. She served about 18-months to 2-years. The Library had raised the funds, and it had been approved. I moved away right as they were starting to build. It’s a beautiful Library now. It was fun to watch that, and know the community was behind that. Duncan- Stated, so that was already in the process. Joy Sorensen- Stated it had been for a couple of years. Then it had to go through the collecting of money, and plans going. Duncan- Stated she was just wondering if she had the experience of the expansion. Joy Sorensen- Stated yes, to some of it. Jim Sorensen- residing at 310 Sage St., Kimberly, ID- “I’m here for the other end of things. I was on the Council. I was the Mayor for 13-years here. And, I’ve served on the Library Board here for, I don’t know, 15-20 years. I enjoy helping a community that has supported me for the last 55-years. So, I uhm, like the direction the Library is going. We have a very successful Summer Reading Program. In fact, it brought out a few things we need to do. One was, the biggest group this year was summer reading with the adults. They had a bigger group of adults then they did either teenagers, then any others. The other thing we are trying to do, is get some of that back. Encourage youth programs, and our personnel there are great. They’re enthused. We probably have more community participation in the Library now than in the years past. They have groups of 20 kids per session and there are 2 sessions. There’s Logo nights. There’s all kinds of youth activities and participation. I’d like the opportunity to keep that going by serving with the Library for the next 5-years” Duncan- Questioned if he was currently on the board. Jim Sorensen- Stated yes, and for quite a while now. Duncan- Stated she didn’t go to the Library much, and thanked him for serving on the board. Snarr- Stated she appreciated Mr. Sorensen serving on the Library Board for all these years. Change is never easy, but feels change is also good. She would like to see Renae Deckard as the new Trustee. Tomlinson- Stated he feel Mr. Sornsen has done a great job serving on the Library Board, and seems to get along with the staff well. He would like to see Mr. Sornsen stay as the Trustee. Mayor- Agreed with both Snarr and Tomlinson. He thanked Mr. Sorensen for serving on the Library Board and praised him on a job well done. Mayor stated that change can be for the good as well. Mayor Davidson gave his recommendation of Renae Deckard to fill the Trustee position on the Library Board. Mayor Davidson called for a motion: Council Member Snarr motioned to appoint Renae Deckard for Library Trustee, five (5) year term to begin October 1, 2025 and end September 30, 2030. Council Member Richman seconded the motion. Roll Call: Tomlinson- Abstained Richman- Yes Duncan- Yes Snarr-Yes B. DISCUSSION ACTION ITEM – America 250 Celebration. ~ Craig Eckles- Council Craig- Stated after contacting other cities, most are having it as a separate event. Although it would be nice to combine it with KGND, it really should be its own little event. Craig has called around and talked with some folks about attending it and making it a more short but formal event. It’s a pretty amazing thing that the United States is turning 250! Craig is asking the Council to consider backing away from having it in conjunction with KGND. He had the Idea of maybe using the Veteran’s Memorial here in town as the focal point. Duncan- Worries about the space available out by the Veteran’s Memorial and it being on a Saturday. Still thinks it’s a good idea to have it on July 4, 2026 vs including it with KGND on the next weekend. America should be celebrate on the 4th of July. Craig- Agreed right there at the Veteran’s Memorial would be tight, there is the Methodist church or maybe even over at RCFD. He will put some feelers out there and keep everyone posted as he learns more. He stated as everyone knows KGND is going on year 52, of its Grandfathered events, and does not want to wash the importance of either event. Snarr- Thanked Craig for looking into the Grant aspect of it from the last meeting. Snarr concurs with this new direction. Richman- Agreed with this new direction. Mayor Davidson called for a motion: Council President Duncan motioned to direct staff to start planning the America 250 Celebration for July 4, 2026, with information to come as the planning moves forward. Council Member Tomlinson seconded the motion. Roll Call: Tomlinson-Yes Richman- Yes Duncan- Yes Snarr-Yes C. DISCUSSION ACTION ITEM – RESOLUTION NO. 390 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF KIMBERLY, IDAHO, AUTHORIZING THE CURRENT SOLID WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL SERVICE PROVIDER WITH REPUBLIC SERVICES INC, TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR A PERIOD OF (1) ONE YEAR, 10-01-2025 -09-30-2026, WITH EXTENSIONS UP TO (4) YEARS PER COUNCIL APPROVAL. Craig – Carrie Craig- City Hall has been trying to operate while the painting and carpet was being replaced. He feels the staff did an amazing job staying open and on task as they worked around everything. There were times multiple people were working in the same office space. But, we got it done! Craig referenced the RFP response from Republic Services (see attached), along with the proposed Resolution #390. Craig stated there were 5 others that requested the RFP in total. We received a completed one from Republic Services. An email with a letter stating after answering their question via email, prior to submittal, PSI would not be advancing with the bid. There was no follow through from the other 3 companies. He was surprised to see so much interest from other companies. Those 3 were not familiar to the staff. He reminded everyone we had been down the road of recycling. Craig had reached out to Joe several years ago, and we set up a large container right up her on the corner as you come into town. Very quickly it turned into a free for all dumping ground. After installing cameras, we found that it really wasn’t city limit people utilizing and vandalizing it. It was County residents. After several attempts it was removed. There is no way to have it in our back lot, do to safety and security issues. Republic Services has submitted completed RFP. Darrick Cooke- Stated he was excited to keep serving the City of Kimberly. He introduced Buck Sears, who is the new “Joe” as Darrick put it. Also there was Rachele Klein, the Administrative Manager. She is the guru of Municipal contracts. Rachele thanked the Mayor and Council and stated how happy Mario is with serving the City of Kimberly. Buck stated he started in Boise and migrated down here. Rachele touched on the recycling a bit, stating she could get a flyer or something drafted up to send out if that’s the direction the city would like to go. She reminded everyone that does not include glass. Rachele stated the comingling of the plastic happens right in Boise. Darrick stated all the mills are based in the USA. Duncan- Questioned if they are planning on changing out the carts from Western Waste to Republic Services. Rachele- stated it would be on an as needed basis. Tomlinson- Questioned how much the pink carts cost. Rachele- stated it was a buy in of $50.00 upfront and that 100% of that money goes to Breast Cancer Screenings with North Canyon Medical, St. Lukes, and Innovative Imaging. She thanked Craig and the staff for the great working relationship through the years. Craig- Stated that he encourages Republic to come and bring any matters to our attention that need addressed. There has always been an open door policy. Brian- Stated he has always had a great working relationship for KGND and the Community cleanup day. He looks forward to future endeavors. Chief- Stated he appreciated them working with them on cart swap outs when needed for trash pulls. There have been traffic violations to report. Carrie- Stated the office staff has always been great to work with.

This in turn means new members must be named, Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary and any board members served by the City of Kimberly.

Mayor Davidson called for a motion: Council Member Snarr motioned to appoint Burke Richman as MVMPO Board Member for the term as set by the board bylaws and State.

ADMINISTRATIVE / STAFF REPORTS - Chief Bunderson- Stated after having the speed trailers up for 17-days there were 190,090 vehicles that passed through. This is an average of 10,000 passes per day. The average speed was 34 mph prior to passing the sign, and 28 mph after passing the sign. He is expecting the 2 new additional trailers to arrive next month. They are getting the glitches worked out. Some of his staff has been attending local block training with Evoc and Arcon. The new Flock system has been ordered. Chief stated he has posted some education online about E-bikes. He explained most people do not know there is a difference in the law. Chief stated he has 50 coins left for the K-9 fund raiser. With KWS seeds donation along with coin sales, selling Riggs, and other sources they have about $11,000.00 to $12,000.00 total. He is doing a Gun Raffle through the Police Foundation soon. He will give more details as he knows them. Tomlinson- Questioned how much tickets would be. Chief- Stated he was unsure, but probably around $10.00 each. Duncan- Stated there was a huge mess on the corner of Main and Center over the weekend. There was no permit to her knowledge, cars were parked outside of lines and in the flow of traffic, trash all over, a port-a-potty on the sidewalk, loads of people drinking up and down the sidewalks in front of other businesses, people camped out on business fronts and grass areas drinking and blaring music. She questioned if anyone was or will be receiving violations over this. Chief- Stated Guppies had a car show, and no, there was no permit issued for it. No application submitted to his knowledge, no street closures were approved, and certainly do not condone drinking freely up and down the street. Chief was on duty that night due to his officer calling in sick. He had notified County that he may need to call for backup if needed. Chief drove in circles for almost 4-hours, and had to repeatedly tell patrons to get out of the middle of the road and to let general traffic through. He had cars moved that were parked perpendicular to the curb. He had to have them move cars on Maddison next to Family Health Services due to not enough room for both lanes of traffic to flow. They were not happy with him. DL Evan parking lot, as well as from Monroe all the way down to Main and Center was completely full of vehicles. The triangle in front of Guppies was filled with 3 vehicles. They also had 4-5 vehicles on the South side of Guppies on the sidewalk area. The tables, chairs, and handicap sized port-a-potty was also sharing the sidewalk with the cars. He had a few patrons that were standing in the middle of the cross walk with signs, and directing traffic to go around and not let them through. He was yelled at, and met with some colorful words and complaints on Facebook as well. Snarr- Stated she distinctly remembers having this conversation about them having a special event application in place for the road closure. She questioned what happened. Chief- Stated he and Mr. Eckles reached out to Aaron Gupton per Bob Harriss’s request the week after KGND to help him with it. Gupton stated he was struggling to put everything together for the permits, insurance, and road closures. Craig and I reached out early to help get the application completed and everything in place. They made a call while in Craig’s office. They questioned Aaron on what they could do to help and what his concerns were. One of the concerns he had was not being able to afford the security required due to alcohol being present. There are also 2 city properties they involved, the corner of Main and Center and Family Health Services. Chief Bunderson offered to have 2 off duty officers to be hired for the event at a discounted rate, which is less expensive than a professional service. Most surrounding cities allow their off-duty staff to do this as well, known as moonlighting. Gupton stated he simply couldn’t afford it and was also having issues with Western Waste. He didn’t know how he was going to get everything done, and he would let us know if he was moving forward or not. Chief, nor Craig, ever heard anything else from him. Duncan- Stated the City has worked very well with Gupton before. Having the streets blocked off would have eliminated cars driving through and dodging pedestrians mingling across the road and whatever else was going on. That costs absolutely nothing to get the proper road closure. The first one he ever did went so smooth. He followed the rules. Why weren’t they followed this time. The city goes out of their way to help. I wish he would have just done it the right way. Mayor- Stated we have done a couple functions for him actually. A street dance, and like 2 car shows. Craig- Stated he felt bad for the Chief that night. He told Chief if they had to, County and ISP would be called in. Craig had been with family at dinner in Twin Falls. When they came back into Kimberly, he saw what was going on. They were driving on Main towards Center, and someone smacked the side mirror on the truck because they were driving through “the car show”. The minute they would have seen the open containers; it would have cost him his licenses. Craig and Aaron were on the phone about a half hour with Idaho State Police Bureau of Alcohol, about 3-years ago right here in his office. The concerns Aaron had, were at any point something was to happen at one of these events, with alcohol being in the public outside setting, was the liability. Aaron at that point stated he wasn’t willing to put his licenses on the line. At the time the business across the street was having an issue with Guppies. They wanted to put up parking signs for their patrons only. That is a no go. That is public parking. That same business wanted to serve out of the park. After a long dissertation with them and the State, they realized they were opening themselves up for a huge liability. This Council is very clear about no drinking in the park. What disappoints Craig, is Aaron had recommended Mr. Harris to be a contact for the use of a convertible for KGND Parade. Craig personally contributed funded the drivers for gas. Mr. Harris tried to deny the money, but kept the money, and stated what he wanted was help with getting Aaron’s event/car show lined up properly. Mr. Harris stated Aaron was struggling with the process with blocking the streets, port-a-potties, and the insurance. Craig said he would reach out with the application and that’s exactly what happened. There was a conversation with Mr. Harris, Chief, Mayor, Carrie, and Craig just this morning. It went back and forth that it wasn’t Aaron’s show, then it was Aaron’s show. At the end it came down to it wasn’t Mr. Harris’s show, he is the supporter of all these groups. He stated the insurance would be a killer. As we know from other events, it’s about $100.00 per event. Craig offered to personally donate towards the port-a-potties, but Aaron stated he had issues with Western Waste and would go through PSI. Craig stated he personally contributed to the port-a-potties for KYA at the ball fields. The end conclusion was, even with the donation offers and the Chief’s off duty officer discounted security, no cost for the actual blocking of the road (Brian and the PW staff provide the cones and barricades), and Craig helping with the port-a-potty; there was still no application submitted. As the Chief said, there is no open containers allowed on the street. Were there, YES. That could have cost him his License. Craig is disappointed that they made a huge outreach to Aaron about the application. Mayor talked to Aaron 2-3 weeks before this car show event. Craig had hand delivered the Special Use Permit right after KGND to Aaron. Aaron told the Mayor he had the application in his car, and would turn it in. Sjuni and Craig stated in talking with Aaron, he made it very clear he wasn’t going to go that route. He was going to do what he has done previous years. Just have the cars parked outside along Main St. and the event in his establishment. It was a different group of folks there this year, and when you add alcohol, it can get overwhelming for Aarons staff and Law Enforcement. When Craig and his family drove through one of the patrons slammed the side mirror on his truck for driving in the road. Mr. Richman’s vehicle was also hit for this reason. Nancy, you are right. This should have never happened. It got back to Craig that there were some family and friends of an elected that were laughing and recording the issues that were being thrown at the Chief while he was trying to patrol. He is to receive the video, and would be very disappointed if it were true and it’s someone sitting in this room tonight. According to Mr. Harris, again it was all over the place, this was Aaron’s event. He stated Aaron is not good with the details of his ideas. He himself had to tell people to stop leaning on the show cars, issues with the port-a-potty, no room on the sidewalk. Again, this is why you hire security. Craig stated he loves to see the car shows. But, there’s a right way and a wrong way. I’m sure we haven’t heard the end of the complaints. Duncan- Stated she finds it highly disappointing, because I know the times that this Council, this staff, have gone above and beyond in helping with events, and supporting his business. It is very disappointing that he would just disregard what we have put in place for everyone to follow for a good, but safe event. We would have blocked off 3-blocks if that’s what it took, but to blatantly disregard the process is disappointing. Craig- Stated it was unfortunate, especially after the attempts to help. We know he can be compliant, because he has been in the past. Tomlinson- Questioned if a letter of reprimand could be sent to Guppies. Craig- Stated he and the Chief are looking into the violations now. They will update as they can. City/P&Z Administrator Craig Eckles- Stated Western States is settling in. They are putting plans together for the back of them right now. That’s a good thing for the city. Craig and Brian met up with some folks for the property South of Heritage Farms. He has a Public Hearing coming up with the DIF committee regarding the HWY 30/3400 light. He needs to get his office back together and the Column situation figured out. MVMPO will have the 11x17 up at the next meeting. Our intersection is in that works now. These are baby steps, thanked the council for hanging in there. Craig doesn’t see making HWY 50 from the Hansen Bridge wider to HWY 30, being the main driving factor for the HWY30/3400 E intersection, it just isn’t there. The ally behind Guppies, going West, by the Maintenance Building, has a sidewalk again. It had been buried for quite some time. There is large landscaping rock going in. There is a large irrigation pipe there, and cannot and will not be parked on any longer. The school is buckling up their lot. There will be no more parking behind Guppies. That is a huge pipe that we are responsible for. The sidewalk is a must; there are several sidewalks in town still covered up as well. Chief Bunderson- Stated the 4-way stop signs for Oak and Center have been ordered. The lights will not be on top of them immediately. He plans to have the message boards out to warn the public of the new stop signs. There will be plenty of signage up preparing people to stop ahead. Chief plans on having a heavy presence the first week to educate drivers about stopping. After that they will start citing those drivers who do not obey the stop signs. Duncan- Questioned if the school would continue to use the existing drop off and pick up sights. Chief Bunderson- Stated he has had talks with them and they are still figuring some things out. They had done some pretty expensive improvements not too long ago and would like to utilize that. He agreed. He will update as he is able. Craig- Stated the equipment has been ordered for the new 5-acre park. What a great project this is and will be once complete. Craig has spoken with the experts and depending on weather will dictate when the lawn goes in. Brian Reed City Engineer/Public Works Director- Stated his crew should have the speed dips done by Thursday. Lots of signage going up on Maxine Lane W. He is having a hard time getting signs lately and he is unsure why. The PW crew will be doing Ally Maintenance throughout town in the upcoming weeks. Brian wanted to thank J&L Sweeping for the great job on painting. Good Neighbor SD’s pipes are in. He noticed Big Sky has lots of pipe on sight, and should be going in soon once everything is cleared to start. Looks like the road is ready for the base at Polk W. and Sierra W. He hopes to see it in before the snow flies. Carrie Kimball City Clerk- Updated everyone that the Carpet and Painting projects for inside City Hall were wrapped up just a few hours prior to this meeting. It’s been a very long couple of weeks. City Hall did not close down. Everyone worked really well together to move items back and forth, reset the different areas, and sharing offices to ensure work was getting done. Very impressed with the painters and carpet layers. Everyone seems to be very pleased with the outcome. Carrie reminded everyone this was the original carpet and paint that was replaced. Carrie stated Audit would be coming up here in the near future with mike Burr. 7. COUNCIL COMMENTS - None 8. MAYOR COMMENTS – None 9.
