Trustees Lavelle Rupp and his sister Christine Petersen represented the Harold L. Rupp Sr.
Trust and the Beta J. Rupp Trust. Mr. Rupp stated that they had submitted an application for
annexation into the City of Chubbuck. Mr. Rupp also stated that they had looked at all their
options over a number of years; and it is in their best interest to be annexed into the City of
Chubbuck. Mr. Rupp stated that it was always one of his parent's wishes to be annexed into the
City of Chubbuck.
Councilmember Lewis asked Mr. Rupp if the trust owned all the property in the annexation
application; and if he was stating that his family's private property rights would be best served in
the City of Chubbuck. Councilmember Lewis asked if there was anybody from Pocatello that
would like to address any concerns to the Council before the Council made a decision on this
application.
Planning and Development Director Devin Hillam gave a history/background and went over
the positives and negatives for the City of Chubbuck on this annexation application. Mr. Hillam
also went over the comprehensive plan and how this land meets all the requirements for the land
designation and annexation. Mr. Hillam stated that City Staff worked with the Chubbuck
Development Authority, Pocatello Development Authority, City of Pocatello, and the Rupp
family on this annexation. Mr. Hillam stated that all issues/concerns had been resolved. One of
the resolved solutions is a transfer of powers ordinance (which will be approved by the City
Council) from the Chubbuck Development Authority (CDA) to the Pocatello Development
Authority (PDA) on the roadway infrastructure and interchange; until the PDA has been
reimbursed through the Pocatello TIF district and then those powers will return to the CDA.
Mayor England declared the public hearing open for public comment.
Niki Taysom 325 W. Griffith, was opposed. Ms. Taysom felt like this land would be better
served in Pocatello. Ms. Taysom was concerned of the affect it would have on the City's water
and sewer system upgrades.
Due to no more public comment Mayor England closed the public hearing.
