GENERAL BUSINESS:
1. FY27 Budget Discussion.
The Council discussed a tentative budget for FY27.
2. BUILD a Better Chubbuck — Vision Discussion.
The Mayor went over his vision of building a better Chubbuck, which
included balanced and sustainable finances, unmatched livability, investing in
health and wellness, leveraging partnerships, developing a safe and prepared
community, innovation and continuous improvement, and strategic growth and
development.
3. Review Resolution 2023 -03 -Providing Water & Sewer Outside of City Limits.
Planning Manager Don Matson and Development Services Manager Sean Harris
presented a request from a development located outside the city limits that would like
to connect to the City's water and wastewater systems. The development indicated
that it would agree to annexation when the City eventually connects to the
development in the future. However, the developer did not want to construct the
development to City standards, citing a request from Bannock County. Staff
interpreted Resolution 2023-03 that City standards are a requirement for connecting to
City resources outside of City limits.
The Council agreed with Staff and the City Attorney's interpretation that any
development located outside the city limits seeking access to City resources must
agree to develop according to City standards. This requirement would help ensure a
smoother transition when the development is annexed into the City in the future.
ADJOURN: Mayor Rodney Burch adjourned at 5:56.
