call. Chad Farrens – Aye; Steve Economu – Aye;
Terry Johnson – Aye; Tim Narvaez – Aye. The
motion passed unanimously. Mayor Evans declared
the Budget Hearing closed.
Dennis Weed updated the Council on projects that
he was working with the EDC. He reported that he
had talked with AT & T about the tower in Moyie.
AT & T has purchased two electrical meters and
they are waiting for a schedule date. Dennis
Weed said that he had also contacted Frontier on
the fiber optics in the area and they are
projecting next year for operation. Frontier’s
plan is to go out on the old Highway Two. Steve
Economu said that he had heard that the line
would be coming from Libby and would be meeting
in the middle somewhere. Dennis Weed said that
he thought it would be about the fire station on
the Old Highway Two. Dennis Weed stated that he
had talked with Dan Dinning from the County
Commissioners about a County sewer system and
that he thought the County Commissioners were on
board for working with the City of Moyie Springs
and the City of Bonners Ferry for the County.
Mayor Evans asked if Dennis Weed could catch up
the Council the County sewer plan. Dennis Weed
said that he knew that the City of Moyie Springs
is in the process of upgrading their system and
a sewer system is in need in the Three Mile
area, and he thought that the County and the
Cities could work together and see if it is
possible to create one sewer system for the
County. His thought was to bring a line up
possibly Roosevelt Street up towards the Three
Mile area. He is trying to setup a meeting
between the three entities to work on the issue.
The County pit is a site that might be usable.
The County is on board to make the one sewer
system. He suggested another option could be of
pumping sewer discharge back to the City of
Bonners Ferry. He thought that pumping towards
the Moyie area might be less expensive. The
sewer expansion would allow for commercial
growth and residential. Mayor Evans said he
didn’t know if the County pit would work for a
sewer discharge system. Dennis Weed said he did
not know either and want the meeting to share
ideas and alternatives for the sewer system. Tim
Narvaez asked who would be in charge of the
sewer system, if the City of Moyie Springs
agrees who would take the lead in the sewer
system. Dennis Weed said that with the larger
area of the Three Mile area and the City of
Moyie Springs would allow for more grant funding
then doing separately. He said he thought Nancy
Mable would be able to help with the grants.
Mayor Evans stated the time table that the City
is facing to comply with DEQ. Dennis weed said
that he was aware that the City had a deadline
of year end. Tim Narvaez questioned who would be
setting the system up. Dennis Weed said that it
could be done publicly or privately. Tim Narvaez
asked if all the residents would be required to
be on the system. Dennis Weed asked who was on
the sewer system now. Mayor Evans said that just
the downtown area was serviced by the sewer
system. Tim Narvaez said that he believed that
the City system and the City as a whole should
be supporting the system for future growth.
Dennis Weed said that he did know that Panhandle
Health District permits septic system to the
suburban area of Moyie. Tim Narvaez said that
the whole City needs to participate, hands down.
Dennis Weed will work on setting up the joint
meeting.
Discussion was had on the structure built to
close to the property line of Stephanie Chase on
Sheri Drive. A tree house was built on the back
side of Chase’s property 3 feet from the
property line. Mayor Evans said the lot size on
Sheri Drive were 1 ¼ acre lots. Dan Featherston
asked what the City Ordinance said about the
structures built. Mayor Evans said that he
believed that you had to be built 5 feet from
your property line. Dan Featherston said that he
said one solution might be to do a lot line
adjustment between the two adjoining property
owners to comply with the City Ordinance. The 2
feet lot line adjustment would be the cleanest
way to solve the problem. Stephanie Chase said
that she had talked to her neighbor Bob
Surprenant about the line encroachment and he
did not have a problem with it. Stephanie said
that her daughter had written a letter to the
Council regarding her tree house and asked if
her daughter could read it. Mayor Evans allowed
her to read the letter. Stephanie Chase’s
daughter read her letter. The letter stated her
concerns and plead for allowing the tree house.
Dan Featherston wondered if the tree house
should be considered as a structure. He asked
the size of the tree house. Stephanie Chase said
that the tree house was 8 x 8. Steve Economu
questioned why an issue. Dan Featherston said he
would like to table the discussion until he had
time to decide if the tree house falls into the
Ordinance. Ken English said that there is no
structure to be built with the 5 feet property
line, and that it was also a fire safety issue.
Chad Farrens said that he believed that there
was a 5 foot building requirement. Meredith
Keller asked about the legality of the
situation. Mayor Evans told the daughter of
Stephanie Chase he appreciated her letter and
time. Mayor Evans asked for a motion to table
the discussion. He also said that a waiver might
be possible. Dan Featherston said he would
review and send a letter of recommendation to
the Council to resolve in the cleanest way. A
motion was made by Steve Economu and seconded by
Chad Farrens to table the decision while the
Ordinance was reviewed. Motion carried.
There were no parties present for discussion on
the Trailer Park on the corner of Roosevelt
Street and North Division Street.
John Nelson reported on the paving project on
North and South Division Street. John Nelson was
told by Interstate Concrete that the paving job
would start on 9/22/16. Steve Economu asked if
Interstate Concrete would be paving on the 22nd
and 23rd, Thursday and Friday. Mayor Evans asked
about the expenses on the project. Terry Johnson
asked if Interstate Concrete was applying a skim
coat and leveling and what cost that would be.
John Nelson believed that Interstate Concrete
was indeed applying a skim coat and also
leveling. John Nelson said he would have a
meeting with Larry from Interstate Concrete to
discuss prior to the project beginning. John
Nelson proposed closing part of North Division
off Highway 2 to re-grade the road to make the
grade 2% to possibly 5% grade after turning on
to North Division from Highway 2. Terry Johnson
asked if John Nelson had spoken to Interstate
Concrete about it. John Nelson said he had
talked to Interstate Concrete and that it would
be 2 inches for the full length. Terry Johnson
asked if that would change the bid. Mayor Evans
asked if it would be wiser to save the money
instead of increasing the grade. Terry Johnson
said it would probably cost more and should have
been done before the bid. Tim Narvaez asked if
John Nelson was the only one doing the grading.
John Nelson stated he believed the County would
help him out. Mayor Evans asked if the grading
job was necessary. John Nelson said he was
worried about the turn bay lane that the state
is putting in and possibly changing it from the
2% grade up to a 5%. Tim Narvaez questioned if
it would be less pavement. John Nelson says it
is 115 feet if done the right way to start with
the 5% grade. If not done, he is worried about
slide off. It would also require also the water
truck and roller to correct the grade. Terry
Johnson thought the crown on the road needs to
be kept. Tim Narvaez stated that that is a
wonderful thought but is there time. Mayor Evans
said that if it had been discussed sooner there
may have been enough time. Terry Johnson stated
he thinks it is a bad idea at this time because
what if the County can’t help in the one week to
make it happen. Mayor Evans stated it was a
risky call because if something happened they
can’t delay the road paving. Mayor Evans wants
fewer burdens on traffic especially the winter
traffic. Tim Narvaez suggested the City error on
the side of caution. Steve Economu said the City
should trust their opinion. John Nelson thinks
the State will be finishing the turn bay lane
next week. Mayor Evans stated that the Council
was not really in favor due to time constraints.
Terry Johnson says there is a deadline and it
cannot be put off. John said that the South
Division compaction test came back at a 95, and
that South Division was ready for paving. Tim
Narvaez wanted to let John Nelson know he did a
good job. Mayor Evans said that it all sounded
good and that he believed the road should hold
up well.
Discussion on the Grant Application with Union
Pacific Railroad for $50,000 for Youth
Basketball/Tennis Court. Dennis Weed reported on
grants that had been applied for. Dennis Weed
helped Donna Wilson-Funkhouser submit a UPF
grant to build a recreational area for the area
youth in Moyie Springs. Mayor Evans had
suggested a basketball court / multi-purpose
court for recreation and exercise for the youth
and family. The grant was a match grant that
could be a match of donation in kind of labor
and services from the community. David Weed also
told of Mayor Sims application for a grant from
Blue Cross that was for youth health. The grant
application was applied for the City with the
help and involvement from Boundary County
organizations that deal with the youth and
community related outreaches for the County;
like the Boundary County School District, GROW,
Community Hospital, Kootenai Tribe, 4-H, BC
Parks and Rec, The community needs vote for
Bonners Ferry daily online to finalize the High
5 grant for $250,000 to possibly build a rec
center for the County, and or use for other
health related activities that the Community
needs. Tim Narvaez asked about the IFG mill
property that they had just purchased as a good
location for a park. Chad Farrens said that he
thinks they are putting in a new scale there.
Tim Narvaez said the property has water and
sewer already. Dennis Weed says there is a
stipulation with the grant for it to be used
within ¼ to ½ mile of any railroad tracks.
Dennis Weed stated that it would a donation in
kind if mill allowed the land use and that would
be a great thought. Mayor Evans said that it
doesn’t hurt to ask. Dennis Weed said he would
talk to the mill if the grant is approved. Mayor
Evans stated he will mention it to Chris and ask
about a donation in kind if Dennis Weed can get
the UPF to match. Mayor Sims had sent a link to
the City office for the community to vote for
Bonners Ferry for the High Five Idaho Grant for
the $250,000 daily thru September 30th, 2016.
The link will be forwarded to the Council. Bill
Maestretti said would be nice if tennis courts
at least and probably handball and basketball
courts as well; the goal is to appeal to more
people.
Subdividing lots from ¾ of an acre as the
ordinance states to ½ an acre. Tim Narvaez said
he has always heard that Panhandle Health
District stated that it has to be ¾ of an acre
for septic systems. He had talked with Panhandle
Health District and they don’t require ¾ of an
acre for septic systems. Tim Narvaez asked why
the City requires ¾ of an acre when Panhandle
Health only requires ½ an acre. Mayor Evans said
it does not have to do with Panhandle Health but
rather because there is less septic into
condensed areas if the acres are ¾ instead of ½.
Mayor Evans stated that the lots used to be
smaller about 1/3 to ¼ acre lots. Tim Narvaez
questioned why it could not be changed if
Panhandle Health agreed to the ½ acre lot. Mayor
Evans reiterated that the City requiring ¾ acre
lots was not due to Panhandle Health
regulations. Terry Johnson stated that if a
change was wanted the ordinance would have to be
changed. Mayor Evans said that the prior 1/3
acre lots were already updated to the newer ¾
acre lot ordinance but that he was not sure when
the new ordinance was initiated and stated he
was not certain it was necessary to decrease it
to ½ acre. Tim Narvaez stated he was just
questioning if the City was correct with
sticking to the ¾ acre when Panhandle Health had
Okayed the ½ acre lot and stated that if anyone
wanted more land they could move to the country,
generally city lots are smaller. Tim Narvaez
wanted to know if the City needed verification
from Panhandle Health and if then they would
change the ordinance. Mayor Evans stated that
the Council had changed from the 1 1/2 acre to
the ¾ acre lot size. Tim Narvaez said the City
should extend the sewer system to accommodate
smaller lots. Mayor Evans said that the City had
dropped the lot size from the 1 ½ acres to the ¾
acre, that was in effect before he was on the
Council. The County can also change the lot size
to the smaller lot if in the City impact area.
Tim Narvaez questioned what the concern was for
the City, and asked if the City could question
Dan Featherston about it. Tim Narvaez also
stated that only 70 customers are on the City
sewer system and was curious about how the City
can manage the newer sewer requirements with the
support of just sewer customers. Ken English
said maybe Panhandle Health would change one day
to a larger lot. Tim Narvaez said the City needs
to look forward since Panhandle Health had
Okayed the ½ acre lot size. Chad Farrens said,
if needed, the City could do a parcel assessment
for future growth of the City sewer system, but
that any adjustments would cost the sewer
customers a fee for any improvements or
expansion. Mayor Evans said the City cannot
force people and that it would have to go in
front of a judge to see if it could be approved.
Tim Narvaez asked if the City was willing to go
to ½ acre lots. Ken English questioned Tim
Narvaez wanting to divide his property to ½ acre
lots was personal and not City business. Tim
Narvaez said it was City business not personal
if Panhandle Health was the limiting factor in
the City’s lot size requirement. Dan Featherston
said that the City has set a higher standard
than Panhandle Health. Tim Narvaez said there
needed to be clarification, or drawing to show
example to the City’s size determination if
Panhandle Health had Okayed. Dan Featherston
said that it was probably due to saturation as
to why the City used the septic systems as a
factor in lot sizes. Mayor Evans said the
Council didn’t dispute Panhandle Health, it was
an ordinance set by the City standards, not by
Panhandle Health District but by the Council.
Chad Farrens stated it was a decision made by an
old Council before he and Mayor Evans were
Councilmen and that they had changed to the ¾
acre. Mayor Evans stated that the Council had
already changed the ordinance to ¾ acre lots.
Mayor Evans said that the Council could discuss
the changing of the lot size. Tim Narvaez stated
that he still wanted the sewer system assessment
to be made to account for future growth of the
county and city. Mayor Evans asked if the
Council wanted to change ordinance 90. Mayor
Evans asked Dan Featherston his opinion. Dan
Featherston said he advised that an assessment
needed to be provided before any changes were
made. Ginger Perrenoud asked if something
similar to the school tax could be used to pay
for any sewer upgrades or changes. Dennis Weed
said any fees accessed had to be paid by those
who use the sewer system and within the 200 feet
of the system. Terry Johnson asked Dan
Featherston if a bond was needed to vote on it
to extend the within 200 feet hook on
requirement for accessing a fee to the City. Tim
Narvaez said that it should encompass all of the
City of Moyie. Bill asked about the cost. Dennis
Weed said millions. Steve Economu said that a
higher requirement for the system operator was
needed and their wages would be a cost factor
too for the City. Terry Johnson asked about the
grant. Dennis Weed said 13 million was a number
he thought showed in a prior county study for a
county sewer system. Mayor Evans agreed that is
what he thought as well. Steve Economu said he
thought it was up to the area to decide on the
expansion. Terry Johnson said it had not changed
earlier. Chad Farrens said ½ acre was ok but not
¼. Mayor Evans asked if the Council wanted to
draft an ordinance or table the discussion for
now. Steve Economu said he thought the ordinance
should be left at ¾ of an acre. Chad Farrens
stated that more lots subdivided would need more
water hookups. Mayor Evans said there would be
no limit just increase of size and the ability
to supply. Steve Economu said city wide sewer
not available yet, and thinks it should be left
at ¾ of an acre. Terry Johnson stated that
Panhandle Health District may allow the smaller
lot size but that he didn’t think the City
should be making sewer the guiding factor for
downsizing the ¾ acre lots. Mayor Evans stated
again that it was a City rule and had nothing to
do with Panhandle Health District; the City had
decided to have ¾ acre lots due to more impact
on the soil with smaller lots. Terry Johnson
said it has been an ordinance for years. Chad
Farrens said it was cut in half from 1 ½ acres
to ¾ of an acre when the ordinance was changed.
Mayor Evans said do we want to entertain the
motion for changing the lot size. Terry Johnson
said ¾ acre lots. Steve Economu said ¾ acre
lots, Chad Farrrens said ½ acre was alright with
him but not ¼ acre. No motion made.
Truck Brake Engine Noise - Prohibit? Tim Narvaez
asked what does the city need to do to lessen
the noise and asked if an ordinance could be
made to restrict or curtail the noise. Mayor
Evans stated that no tickets are issued by the
DOT so how does the City enforce it. Tim Narvaez
stated that the city could issue an ordinance
and post a sign. Steve Economu stated the brakes
were a safety factor and putting a sign up might
encourage truckers to be more respectful of the
surrounding houses. Steve Economu said he
thought a lady had tried to get an ordinance for
the truck noise before and that she had spoken
to the mill, the DOT, and the county and nothing
helped. Mayor Evans said we could draft an
ordinance. Tim Narvaez would like to see an
ordinance and a fine for violation. Chad Farrens
said a sign would be a good idea stating no
un-muffled brakes. Mayor Evans said maybe a sign
and the ordinance too. Tim Narvaez said it
should be a sign regarding the ordinance and
penalty for the un-muffled brakes. Terry Johnson
said it will only work if we can get someone to
write tickets. Bill Maestretti suggested a time
frame for no braking. Tim Narvaez said we need
to require un-muffled brakes. Mayor Evans said
smaller trucks might not necessarily need
un-muffled brakes but larger trucks do need the
brakes. Dan Featherston said he could get a copy
the State’s statutes regarding un-muffled brakes
and review other city’s ordinances. A motion was
made by Chad Farrens and Terry Johnson seconded
to have Dan Featherston proceed with drafting an
ordinance for banning un-muffled brakes. Motion
carried.
Dan Featherston brought up the discussion on
Ordinance 19A regarding the tree house built by
Stephanie Chase. Dan Featherston said after
reviewing the ordinance he thought it might be
possible. He would review the ordinance more and
send a letter to the City regarding the
Stephanie Chase building discrepancy.
A joint city Council and County Commissioner
meeting was discussed. The City of Bonners Ferry
has meetings the 1st and 3rd weeks monthly. The
October 28th, maybe an option.
Miscellaneous Business-Dave Volking Subdivision.
Dave Volking stated he should have been on the
agenda. Mayor Evans said he understood an
ordinance was emailed. Dave Volking said it
needed clarification. Mayor Evans read a section
of ordinance 90 regarding subdivisions and the
developer, at the developer expense to extend
the lines to within 50 feet of each lot within
the subdivision. Dave Volking said he understood
it to be 8 inches waterline in front of lots and
that he believed, that was agreed upon already.
Mayor Evans said that it would require the
proposed subdivision would require the water
line to loop from North Elk Street. Dave Volking
said he doesn’t think that part of the waterline
for the loop was his responsibility. Chad
Farrens said the engineers had recommended the
waterline loop. Dave Volking said that the
requirement is not legal or law based and is
just a suggestion from the engineers. Mayor
Evans said he thought the Council already said
the loop and line was a requirement. Dave
Volking stated he was not willing to do the loop
in the line that was the City’s responsibility.
Mayor Evans said he needed that in writing and
he will fight engineer’s suggestion. Dave
Volking said he doesn’t believe it is his
subdivision’s responsibility to supply pressure.
Tim Narvaez clarified that it was to maintain
the pressure and flow. Dave Volking said he
should not be required to supply that pressure
to the other side of the highway on North Elk
Street. Mayor Evans said the engineer decided
the flow from the line. Dave Volking said he
will challenge the engineer and the City. Mayor
Evans said it was not for the City’s
infrastructure but about the big effect on the
system for the line extension. Dave Volking
agreed that he will place an 8 inch line in
front of his properties, but would not do the
road crossing to North Elk Street. He believes
the City should do that. He also said he
believes the 8 inch line is an advantage to the
City and would like to have the engineer look at
it again. Mayor Evans asked Dave if his proposal
was to run an 8 inch line down his property in
the front. Dave Volking asked if the engineer
would think that would sufficiently supply the
system. He also proposed that it was an
advantage to the City because it was bringing
more business and homes. Chad Farrens said the
plats keep changing. Dave Volking said that the
Council had talked about him taking out lots to
lighten the water load and then said it was not
about plats it is about water. Tim Narvaez said
there is also a right of way issues, that there
are a lot of gray areas whether there are less
or more lots. Mayor Evans said there are more
issues to consider than just lot sizes such as
road access. Mayor Evans said the Council just
wanted to know where Dave Volking was at
regarding the plats. Regarding the prior plats
discussion, Steve Economu found the
recommendation to loop the water line in the
engineer’s report. Dave Volking said he will not
do the road crossing and that the Council was
not willing to work with him on his subdivision.
Steve Economu said the Council was not trying to
delay his development. Dave Volking said he has
to try to compromise and ask for a co-op effort
with the City. Dave Volking was unsure if he was
or was not on the agenda. He added that the
property is zoned commercial and he would not
allow any rezoning. Mayor Evans said that a
separate road was suggested by the City Engineer
Mike Woodward, for access to the commercial
property. Tim Narvaez asked if all the
commercial access was from North Division. Mayor
Evans said the engineers stated that it should
not be off Elk. Terry Johnson said it will have
to go on commercial usage. Mayor Evans said the
Council can control where access is to a
commercial property. Dave Volking reviewed the
map with the Council. Mayor Evans said the City
would have to have a public hearing on the plat
before it could be approved. Dave Volking asked
if it could be done in executive session. Mayor
Evans stated that executive session was only for
specified reasons and this didn’t qualify.
Meredith asked Dave Volking why he questioned
the engineer’s recommendation as being just an
opinion and suggested that it was the engineer’s
opinion and not necessarily correct and
questioned why Dave Volking was qualified to say
that. Tim Narvaez suggested there may be a grant
to help develop the area possibly. Mayor Evans
said maybe it should be discussed in a special
meeting. Tim Narvaez said all proposed lots
would need roads and water with an 8 inch line
down the property line was going to be required.
Mayor Evans referenced road ordinance 87. Dave
Volking asked about a performance bond for 1½
times and said he will look for a grant, as
well. Tim Narvaez said Dave needs to provide the
required 8 inch water line per City ordinances
and regulations. Dave Volking said he will
challenge it then. Mayor Evans said that maybe a
special meeting should be scheduled with the
engineer.
Discussed the Volunteer Fire Department. Ken
English reported the following: August 3rd –
LEPC Meeting; August 21st - Ambulance Assist,
306 Elk Street; August 23rd – Ambulance Assist,
Moyie Store; August 25th – Fire, Westwood;
Ambulance Assist August 27th Maple Street;
August 27th -Ambulance Assist, Walnut Street;
August 28th- Ambulance Assist, Moyie Store. Ken
also reported on the logos for the trucks and
also ordered another headset for communication
on the fire trucks.
Discussed the Water & Sewer systems. John Nelson
reported we pumped a total of 10,945,700
gallons; the high on the 27th of 400,400 gpd,
the low on 8th of 269,400 gpd, with an average
of 353,087 gpd, for the month of July 2016. John
reported on the sewage flow with an average of
23,616. He also said he was getting the County’s
water meter hooked up.
Miscellaneous Business-Mill. Tim Narvaez said he
was appalled that the City had agreed to allow
the mill to dump garbage on the City’s property.
If the City allows one company or person to do
this, it should allow everyone to do it. The
mill makes money and the City should not have
allowed this. Tim Narvaez also questioned the
legality of giving the mill preference with the
City. Mayor Evans said that IFG had asked and
that he had contacted 2 councilmen and he had
also spoken to John Nelson. Tim Narvaez
questioned why he had only asked 2 councilmen.
Mayor Evans said he had called 2 councilmen to
make a decision and they didn’t see a problem.
He had called Terry Johnson and Chad Farrens.
John Nelson said IFG had asked him 2 weeks ago
about the dumping onto the City’s burn pile. Tim
Narvaez said there is a cost for trucking and
yardage price that IFG would have saved, and if
we allow IFG we will need to allow others. Tim
Narvaez asked why he was not called for his
opinion for this decision of the Council. Mayor
Evans said honestly because he knew Tim’s
opinion regarding the mill, and didn’t want to
hear it. Tim Narvaez asked if his opinion
mattered. Tim Narvaez left the meeting. Ginger
Perrenoud questioned if there was asbestos or
lead paint in there demolished building that IFG
wanted to dump on the City’s property. John
Nelson said it might be possible to dig a hole
or just clean up the area and remove. Terry
Johnson said he thought they were cleaning it
up. John Nelson said he called and they stopped
immediately when the concern was voiced, and
that they had only hauled one load. He added
that someone else had questioned him regarding
allowing the Mill to use the City’s site.
Meredith asked if IFG should have had testing
done. He also asked why IFG did not leave it
there on their site and burn it where it was.
Mayor Evans said that the City had a pile to
burn and that IFG had just asked to add to the
pile. Mayor Evans asked for a motion. Terry
Johnson made a motion to not allow IFG to dump
on the City property and it was seconded by Chad
Farrens. Motion carried.
Discussed the accounts payable. A motion was
made by Chad Farrens and seconded by Steve
Economu to pay bills. Motion carried
A motion was made by Steve Economu and seconded
by Chad Farrens to adjourn. Motion carried. |
