SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
JANUARY 19, 2017 — 4:00PM
CALL TO ORDER: Mayor England explained what happened to cancel the meeting Wednesday
and why we have called the special meeting today.
PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG: Carter Bullock from Troop 344
Invocation: Kermit Morrison
Attorney Tom Holmes was not present at the meeting.
GENERAL BUSINESS:
1. Acceptance and Approval of an Amended and Restated Development Agreement
between the City of Chubbuck the Chubbuck Development Authority and the Pine Ridge
Mall JC, LLC for the Pine Ridge TIF District.
Rodney Burch explained the restated development agreement. The City's urban renewal
plan was deemed a violation of the development agreement. The City has executed a
new urban renewal plan and therefore needed a new development agreement. The
missing piece was the established cost to administer the plan. These steps are necessary
in order to not reset the base in the original TIF district.
Councilmember Lewis moved to accept and approve the amended and restated
development agreement. Councilmember Evans seconded. Roll call vote: Ellis -yes,
Lewis -yes, Baumeister -yes, Evans -yes.
2. Discussion on adjusting elected officials' salaries.
Mayor explained the ordinance that requires the review of our elected official's salaries.
Scott Gummersall, the City's Human Resource Director, presented the ordinance and
information to facilitate the discussion. These salaries have not changed for 10 years or
since 2006. Scott presented the increased salary based on the consumer price index.
Scott presented the cities with similar populations and their Mayor's and Council
Salaries. This shows the CPI number is low. Scott showed the number based on what
would happen with city employees and if the salary would have been adjusted the same
way. Scott's recommendation is the CPI adjustment for Council and Mayor's salaries.
Scott compared the salaries to private companies. Even the raised salary is still much
lower than a private company.
Councilmember Baumeister moved to approve an adjustment in the Mayors salary to
$55,720 the first pay period of January 2018. There was no change in Council Salaries.
Councilmember Ellis seconded. Roll call vote: Ellis -yes, Lewis -yes, Baumeister -yes,
