2- Public Right of Way Contractors License & Public Right of Way Construction.
Public Works Director Rodney Burch wanted to discuss an Ordinance that would
strengthen the City's position on utility contractors working inside the City's right of way
infrastructure. Mr. Burch stated that this Ordinance would create an administrative
processes to annually license utility contractors, and create a 3 year warranty process.
3- Discussion about Tree and Landscape Encroachment.
Public Works Director Rodney Burch wanted to discuss a new Ordinance that was
similar to the City of Pocatello; to help the City control encroachments on public right of
ways. Mr. Burch stated that this Ordinance would not rely on code enforcement or the
police. This would allow the City to notify the property owner to correct the issues, and if
the property owner didn't comply in a certain time frame; would allow the City to correct
the issue and then bill the property owner for the expense. Mr. Burch also stated that the
intent of this Ordinance is for the property owner to correct the issues on their own.
Councilmember Lewis asked City Staff to look at other municipalities' ordinances and
not just the City of Pocatello. Councilmember Baumeister asked what the difference was
for this Ordinance and the City's weed Ordinance. Chief Guiberson stated that the biggest
difference is this is on public right of way/property versus private property.
ADJOURN: Mayor Kevin England adjourned at 4:55.
