CONSIDER INCREASING SCOPE OF WORK ON 2014 DELL ROAD RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Smart informed the commission that City Code provides if your home is within 200' of a sewer line the
homeowner is required to connect. The City Council has discussed the charges and arrangements that
homeowners can make to connect to the new sewer lines. What they decided is:
Waive the $1,000 connection fee to the City if they connect within the 90 days so the fee will be
$0
J: \Chubbuck Development Authority \CDA SECRETARY \Minutes \2014 \3.25.14.docx
Cannot waive the Pocatello fee for the Waste Treatment Plant which is $1,400
By July 1, 2015 everyone will have to be connected or start paying the fees
Smart added to the bid package that the contractors include a bid on connecting the 14 homes to the
system. By increasing the budget $150,000 for this project would leave an option to help the
homeowners with the connection fee.
Mayor met with some of the homeowners on Dell Road but has made no commitments to them that
CDA will be able help. They know that they will still have to pay the connection fee to Pocatello. After
the bids are in a maximum amount would be decided for each homeowner hopefully under $5,000.
Homeowners will be required to give the City the invoice showing the cost.
Mayor is concerned with the aquifer being affected by sewer systems. The old systems could last a long
time if homeowners were allowed to keep the septic system until it failed.
Holmes explained that the dead line date to hook up is a legal decision because the ordinance states
that if you are within 200' you will connect within 90 days. The City had a homeowner that did not hook-
up and ended up in litigation.
Nield made a motion to increase the budget for the dell Road Reconstruction Project by
$150,000 to a total of $900,000 only using the revenue that is needed. Keller seconded for
discussion. Kearns would like to see the amount be $2,500 to $3,500 for each home. Hadley
called the question. Wilks asked for approval. Kearns opposed. Motion carries.
APPROVE CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM FOR 2015
The Projected Cash Flow FY2015 "Proposed" projects were discussed.
Stuart Addition Street Reconstruction and Country Acres Street Reconstruction have been moved up on
the list.
Whitaker Road Reconstruction will include curb, gutter and sidewalk on the west side. The estimate
reflects that most of the work will be in the older section on both sides of the road south of Martha
Street. The road will be rebuilt from right of way to right of way. Striping for the number of lanes has not
been decided. If the board approves the Construction Program for 2015 then the design engineering can
begin for Whitaker Road later this year.
Smart reminded the commission that there could be changes in the estimated amounts of any of the
projects.
Kearns made a motion to adopt the Chubbuck Development Tax Increment Plan as presented
for 2015; Hadley seconded. All voted in favor.
UPDATE ON POCATELLO CHUBBUCK AUDITORIUM DISTRICT EVENTS CENTER FINANCING
Judge Dunn gave Judicial Confirmation on February 27, 2014. There is a 6 week Public Input Period that
