1. Beautification discussion on the new City plans — Mecinna Price
Chubbuck's property taxes, building costs, and home values are no longer at the bottom of
the price bracket list. Keep in mind that beautification needs to be accomplished as
improvements are being made. Price is lobbying to make beautification a priority.
Burch is in favor of making the Northgate Interchange a beautiful entrance into our City.
Heiner suggested that working on possible solutions to the beautification problems is a
place to start.
Burch informed commission that there is a Symposium at 10:30 am on Thursday at the
Stephens Performing Arts Center with the key note speaker being Buck Swaney who is the
lead for the Millennial Development Group.
2. Northgate Interchange Update
Burch reminded the board of the 3 phases of this project.
The bidding for the bridge construction on Hiline Road will be the end of November.
Construction plans are completed.
The roadway plans are 95% complete with bidding in December, construction will be in the
spring when weather allows.
Phase 3 is a CDA funded project and it will be in 2019.
Pipe costs are up significantly with construction costs also having gone up.
Right-of-way acquisition update is that the City has met with all landowners and the
appraisals are being done. Right-of-ways will be purchased in the next 45 to 60 days for the
entire project.

There is a bi-weekly meeting with landowners interested in development. There is a
possibly 3 homes could be affected. Multiple TIF districts could be in CDA's future.
3. CDA Administrative Fee
In the 1992 Urban Renewal Plan the mission had been singular to 1 TIF district to
administer. As we move forward CDA will have multiple plans to administer. State Code
allows CDA to charge an Administrative Fee to the plans and put the money into CDA
reserves to be used at the discretion of the CDA board with some restrictions.
Going back approx. 5 years is workable per Tom Holmes. In the original plan the goal was to
build roads and infrastructure. Tom Holmes commented the Administrative Fee is a
powerful tool.
Retiring a district was discussed.
4. Construction Project Update
Country Acres road reconstruction project:
Teton Avenue and Victor Street are 25% of the project. The remainder of the project will
be completed in 2018. Knife River Construction is doing a great job.
Dark Fiber:
Installation complete except for the Siphon Road area. They are finalizing terminals and
network. Dark Fiber will be active in 30 days. Direct Communications will run fiber thru
the Northgate project at no cost to the City.
Direct Communications has purchased Optix Media.
