GENERAL BUSINESS
1. TIF Eligibility Study East of 1-15
Burch reminded the commission that there was approval from CDA in March to fund an
Eligibility Study on an area west of 1-15. The City would also like to have an Eligibility Study for
the land east of 1-15. This is the Rupp family property that will most likely be annexed into the
City as well as the creation of a Tax Increment Funding District. In the March CDA meeting there
was approval for up to $15,000 for the study. Heiner's suggestion was to keep both land areas
in one study which may end up costing less. Rodney will look into.
Mr. Lavelle Rupp was in attendance to speak for the family. The Rupp family approached the
Mayor years ago to annex but they weren't contiguous. Now with the new interchange they are
starting the conversation again. The Rupp family have agreed to annex all of their property into
the City of Chubbuck. Their development plan is approx. 140 acres around the interchange will
be rezoned commercial. The remainder of the land will be residential development. Marketing
will start when the interchange is completed so the roads and infrastructure can be planned for
approx. 2019. Burch explained the right-of-way acquisition agreements include a clause for
annexation so the City has the ability to annex all the property near the interchange. Overall
goal of the Eligibility Study is the creation of the TIF District by the end of the calendar year. The
Eligibility Study will need to be approved by the County. The Rupp property was removed from
Pocatello City Impact Master Plan in 2015. Hillam explained that Idaho Code is very clear in that
a land owner has the right to choose which city they want to annex in to. Mr. Rupp commented
that Pocatello has contacted the Rupp family to annex into Pocatello but they prefer Chubbuck.

Keller asked for the cost of the study. Burch's estimate is between $18,000 and $20,000.
Keller moved to approve the Eligibility Study. Stuart seconded. All voted in favor.
2. Construction Project Update
The only active project right now is Country Acres. To date 1.9 million dollars have been spent
with completion date in September. 150+ service connections are being replaced on the water
system because they are rusted thru. Water department funds are paying for this.
3. Program Budget Update
Board will approve the program changes when the next fiscal plan is approved. Rodney had a
hand-out for the board to review what will happen in the next 5 years with the proposed
changes. The City would like to get away from borrowing money like they thought they might
have to do. With a combination of moving projects around the line of credit will not have to be
used.
Stuart mentioned there was no money going to parks in the next 5 year plan. Burch noted the
Parks Master Plan will go to Council in June. The board would like to have a line item for parks.
Stuart is concerned that Hawthorne Road to James Street is getting bad and can't wait much
longer.
4. Review claims paid
$77.91 for a public notice ad in the Journal.
5. Motion to enter into an Executive Session in accordance with Idaho Code 74-206 (1)(c):
"To acquire an interest in real property which is not owned by a public agency."
Heiner entertained a motion to enter into Executive Session. Keller moved to enter into an
Executive Session. Brown seconded. All voted in favor
