CITY ADMINISTRATOR/CFO GRAHM ANDERSON
Treasurer’s Report
City Administrator/CFO Grahm Anderson reported that 83% of FY2026 had elapsed as of July 31, 2026,
and reviewed department expenditures. The General Fund was at 78.1%, including Administration at
79.3%, Police at 79.4%, and Fire at 71.7%. Ambulance was at 84.9%, with higher costs attributed to
reimbursable wildland deployment activity. Streets was at 69.4%, Airport at 26.4%, Cemetery at 80.1%,
Library at 58.8%, Parks and Recreation at 95.7% including Twin Bridges Landing capital improvements
and 62.3% excluding those improvements, Golf at 93.2%, Water at 39.4%, Wastewater Treatment at
52.6%, and Sanitation at 80%.
Mr. Anderson reviewed account balances of approximately $3.7 million in Morton Investments, $15.2
million in LGIP, $3.2 million in the diversified bond fund, $9.8 million in the Zions sweep account, and
$17,332.67 in the Zions checking account.
Mr. Anderson reported that the FY27 L2 forms had been submitted to Bingham County. The budget used
the allowable 3% increase without reserving or using foregone property tax. He reviewed upcoming fee
schedule work, fiscal year-end closeout, the start of FY27 on October 1, final FY26 invoices, audit
preparation, and the November unclaimed property report.
Project Updates
Mr. Anderson reported no new updates for the Meridian Highway 91 project. Final design discussions
continued for the West Bridge Street Bridge project, including relocation of water and sewer lines. For
Pendlebury Lane, ITD and LHTAC were finalizing the construction engineering and inspection contract,
while construction remained anticipated for spring 2027. Bateman-Hall was preparing to mobilize for
Well No. 14 construction.
The City’s initial Twin Bridges Landing non-consumptive water-right application was denied pending an
evaporation-loss mitigation plan. Staff was working with Bingham Groundwater on a mitigation strategy
for resubmittal to the Idaho Department of Water Resources. The FAA grant for airport snow-removal
equipment remained on track. South Broadway was substantially complete, with final punch-list and
line-abandonment work remaining. Council discussed pavement vibration; the work had met applicable
inspection standards, and future chip sealing was expected to improve the surface.

Antonio Talamantes of the Fire Department requested authorization to conduct the MDA Fill the Boot

NUMBER 437
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING INCREASED CITY FEES AND ESTABLISHING
A REVISED OVERALL FEE SCHEDULE FOR THE CITY:
The undersigned, Scott Stufflebeam, does hereby certify that the following is a true and
correct copy of a resolution adopted at the City Council Meeting of the City of Blackfoot on the
date indicated below:
1. WHEREAS, based upon the presentations given to Council certain fees should be
increased, amended, and/or added to place the City of Blackfoot’s fees more
commensurate with fees charged in surrounding communities, be reasonably related to
the service provided, and to cover the costs of providing the applicable service; and
2. WHEREAS, there also needs to be an increase in certain fees due to the increased costs
charged to the City for providing such service; and
3. WHEREAS, in order to adequately provide for certain capital expenditures necessary for
the operations of the City it is in the best interest of the City to raise certain fees to
provide additional revenue for such capital expenditures; and
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED THAT:
1. City Fees shall be increased, amended and/or added to the rates as set forth in Exhibit
“A” attached hereto.

Airport Lease Contract Forms
Council discussed updated airport ground-lease forms and the need to preserve the remaining term
when a lease is assigned, clarify FAA-use requirements, allow annual fee adjustments, and prorate rent
to align annual billing with the February 28 billing cycle. Council also discussed transferring the Moses
lease into Bonnie Moses’s name before assignment.
Councilman Brown made a motion and Councilwoman Barlow seconded to approve the Fern, Pleaser,
and Moses airport hangar ground leases using the new lease form and to authorize revisions concerning
rent proration and FAA requirements. On a roll call vote, Councilwoman Barlow, Councilman Brown,
Councilman Gardner, and Councilman Jensen voted yes; motion carried. (Documents can be viewed at
City Hall, 157 N Broadway, Blackfoot, ID)

Council discussed a proposed lease for space in a City-owned airport hangar. Council supported a five-
year term without automatic renewal, continued annual adjustment of rent, use of a portion of the
hangar for monthly youth aviation education, and further review of FAA requirements for storing the
new snow-removal equipment. Councilman Gardner made a motion and Councilman Jensen seconded
to proceed with lease negotiations consistent with Council’s direction. All were in favor; motion carried.

PLANNING & ZONING ADMINISTRATOR TRAVIS ALLEN
Street Name Changes – Bronco Way and Bronco Circle
Planning and Zoning Administrator Travis Allen presented the Addressing Committee and Planning and
Zoning Commission recommendation to rename the segment of York Drive between South Fisher
Avenue and East Walker Street as Bronco Way and to rename York Circle as Bronco Circle. The change
was recommended to reduce emergency-response addressing risk and would become effective
November 30, 2026, following notice to affected residents.
Councilman Brown made a motion and Councilwoman Barlow seconded to approve the street name
changes. All were in favor; motion carried.
Honeybrook 3 Development Agreement Amendment
Mr. Allen presented an amendment to divide the Honeybrook 3 development into three phases rather
than one phase. The amendment would allow completed units in Phase 1 to be sold while later phases
proceeded. He reviewed stormwater retention, construction access, fire access, and the requirement for
subsequent development agreements as later phases advance.
Councilwoman Barlow made a motion and Councilman Brown seconded to approve the amendment to
the Honeybrook 3 development agreement. All were in favor; motion carried.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, the City Council meeting was adjourned at 8:06 p.m.
