INFORMATIONAL ITEM: State and Main St. Street Light Update
Mr. Bradley reported that he had spoken with Mike from County Road and Bridge regarding
a grant the County received to purchase street signs. He noted that the City will purchase
two LED stop signs for the Harwood School Zone to be included in the County’s order. Mr.
Bradley also updated Council on discussions with ITD and Horrocks Engineering regarding
reconfiguration of the stop light patterns at the two intersections of State and Main. The
proposed change would alternate eastbound and westbound traffic rather than allowing
both directions simultaneously. This trial pattern will continue for one month, and Mr.
Bradley requested feedback during the period.
INFORMATIONAL ITEM: Area of Impact Agreement
Milton Fullerton explained that the Area of Impact is under the jurisdiction of the County
and identifies areas that could be annexed into the City within the next five years. He noted
that annexations must fall within the Area of Impact. The County is drafting a new
ordinance for road standards to align more closely with City ordinances, as smaller parcels
are being developed. The County currently allows quarter-acre lots provided they connect
to City services.
Mayor Datwyler raised concern about language in the draft agreement regarding road
maintenance, noting that the City should only be responsible for portions of roads that are
annexed, not entire roads extending into the County. Mr. Bradley requested a meeting with
the Mayor and Ms. Hansen to review items of concern, followed by a meeting with Mr.
Fullerton to discuss possible solutions.
Councilman Howe asked about the County’s position on water rights in new
developments. Mr. Fullerton stated the County follows State Code, requiring a water
system and irrigation plan. Meetings will be scheduled to continue discussion.
ACTION ITEM: Consider Approval of Contract with Alsco or Purchase of New
Mats
Mayor Datwyler explained that Ms. Keller presented the matter to Council due to the
condition of the rugs in the City Hall hallways, which are worn and mismatched. Options
considered included entering into a service contract with Alsco or purchasing new rugs
outright, with staff maintaining them.
Councilman Howe made the motion to Deny the Contract with Alsco, seconded
by Councilman Espinosa.
Council Tabled the Purchase of the Mats, Stating the Admin Dept didn’t need
approval.
ACTION ITEM: Resolution # 227-2025 Establishing Stall Rental Fees and
Authorizing Lease Agreement for Rodeo Grounds Barns
Mayor Datwyler explained that although stalls at the Rodeo Grounds Barns have been
rented for some time, no resolution establishing fees could be located. He noted the need
for a formal resolution to ensure enforceability of the rentals.
Mr. Bradley stated he had discussed the matter with Ms. Keller and expressed appreciation
for her organization of the process. He reported that, since the discussion began, Public
Works staff have conducted daily stall checks and maintained clear rental logs.
Councilman Espinosa made the motion to Approve Resolution #227-2025
Establishing Stall Rental Fees and Authorizing Lease Agreement for Rodeo Grounds
Barns, seconded by Councilman Stone,
roll call vote:
Councilman Timothy Howe - Yes
Councilman Alex Espinosa - Yes
Councilwoman Tonya Hillman - Yes
Councilman Mike Stone - Yes

Espinosa.
