REPORT STATUS OF 2011 PROGRAM:
Smart gave a spread sheet to commissioners with an update on the status of the current projects in the
city and what has been paid to the contractors for each of those projects. He then gave a verbal report
on the status of most of the projects listed.
CONSIDER REQUEST TO ALLOW CHUBBUCK DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY TO PAY FOR THAT PORTION OF
NORTHWEST SEWER INTERCEPTOR PORTION B IMPROVEMENTS FALLING WITHIN THE URBAN RENEWAL
BOUNDARY:
Smart has an update from JUB on the total cost, $2,287,460.00, of the Northwest Sewer Interceptor
Portion B included in CDA boundary. The annual payment the CDA would be committing to is
$190,622.00. The monthly reduction that residents would see would be $3.81 if CDA were to divide the
total by 12 years or $3.18 if the total were divided by 10 years.
The Mayor's recommendation is to approve the 12 year plan reducing the monthly charge to residents
by $3.81. Hopefully over the years there will be other means to help fund this project.
Nield asked if this amount per month benefits the residents. Mayor feels it shows good faith.
England agrees that the promise has been made to try to reduce the utility bill for residents.
Smart stated CDA has well over 1.4 million dollar revenue each year making the $190,622.00, about
13.6% of the budget.
Kearns mentioned there is a lengthy project list so there are concerns about using CDA monies for this
request.
Holmes stated this would be a valid use of CDA money.
Smart suggests reviewing this agreement annually.
The commission discussed how the city will see an impact from the Allstate tax increment in 2014.
England suggests drafting a recommendation of this commitment and discuss as a board again.

CONSIDER ADDING INTERSECTION PROJECT HAWTHORNE AND QUINN:

Intergovernmental Agreement has been drafted and is on the City Council agenda tonight. If the
agreement is approved the City of Chubbuck will write a check for $5,000.00 to the City of Pocatello.
$22,000.00 would be City of Chubbuck's total portion of this project. Smart would like for this project to
be moved from 2014 to 2012 on the CDA project list.
