Bond scenarios
Service areas
Facility planning
Police and Fire Impact Fees were discussed. The land use planning for fire and police is 2
different service areas. Areas outside the boundaries of primary response will have calls that
are classified as mutual aid calls. Mutual aid calls are not included in the impact fee
calculations.
Discussed example of Public Works addition and police remodel. The current police facilities are
not adequate.
Burch explained a consultant did a Needs Assessment study for the entire City.
Police and fire calls are either private land, public land uses and then undefined calls. How
these calls were broken down was explained by Matt.
A map showing the different areas for service by fire and police was shown and discussed. The
approx. sights for 3 new fire stations were shown on the map. The City fire station serves the
City and areas of Power and Bannock counties. 2018 costs will be used instead of the historic
costs for the 3 new stations. This will be very different then the police costs to remodel.
Impact Fee Analysis should be updated every 3 to 5 years.
Bonding scenarios were discussed:
1. Include costs and set up an escrow provision to reimburse if the bond election does not
pass
2. Exclude bonds and amend the impact fees once the bonds pass
Burch explained the fire station will be built with bonding. Committee discussed the 2 options,
stndnd
1 to include bond interest. 2 to exclude bond interest. Their thoughts were that 2 is the
best for Chubbuck. Holmes would like to see both options go before City Council. He would go
st
with 1.
Rodney will visit with the Mayor on how to move forward.
