City Hall Council Chambers

 206 East Third Street, Second Floor

The Moscow Mayor, City Council and Staff welcome you to tonight's
meeting.  We appreciate and encourage public participation.  For regular
agenda items, an opportunity for public comment is sometimes provided
after the staff report.  However, the formality of procedures varies
with the purpose and subject of the agenda item; therefore, the Mayor
may exercise discretion in deciding when to allow public comment during
the course of the proceedings and limitations will be placed on the time
allowed for comments.  Citizens wishing to comment on business which is
not on the agenda will be provided the opportunity to do so as item
number 3.  If you plan to address the Council, you will find a list of
"Tips for Addressing the Council" on the table outside the City Council
Chambers.  Thank you for your interest in City government.

RENEWING OUR FOCUS - At each meeting, one City Council member will
present an example of patriotism, humanitarianism, community spirit, or
other inspirational message.  Contact a Council-member with examples to
share at future meetings.

D.     CMAQ Grant - Les MacDonald

The Public Works Department is requesting approval to apply to the CMAQ
under the Capital Purchases Program for a Mechanical Broom Sweeper (MBS)
which uses brooms to lift larger coarse material to expedite fine
particle sweeping when used with a vacuum sweeper.  The MBS is estimated
by ITD to cost approximately $205,000.  The existing MBS in the City
Fleet was purchased in 1984 and was scheduled for replacement in 1999
but the City was unable to fund a new unit.  The City Fleet has a Vacuum
Sweeper (VS) which is used in conjunction with the MBS that was
purchased in 1999 and is not due for replacement until 2014.  The grant
application is due for review by the Idaho Department of Environmental
Quality (IDEQ) on December 5, 2007, and is then for final review to ITD
on January 16, 2007.  Reviewed by the Public Works/Finance Committee on
November 13, 2007.

ACTION:  Approve the grant application.

E.      Fairview Village Minor PUD Amendment Request - Bill Belknap

Good Samaritan Society has requested a minor PUD amendment to construct
a larger maintenance building than shown upon the approved PUD plans for
the Fairview Village Estates project located near the current northern
terminus of Fairview Drive.  The requested amendment would allow the
construction of an approximately 1,020 square foot maintenance building
rather than the approximately 240 square foot maintenance building that
was shown upon the approved PUD plans.  The Planning and Zoning
Commission reviewed the proposed minor PUD amendment and recommended
that the City Council approve the request.  Reviewed by the Public
Works/Finance Committee on November 13, 2007.

ACTION:  Approve the minor PUD amendment request.

F.      Transfer of Abandoned Bicycles to another Agency and Auction
items - David Duke

The Police Department requests the transfer of three abandoned bicycles
to the Drug and Mental Health Court program for their clients use as
well as approval of declaring the attached list of items as abandoned or
surplus property and the sale of one item ordered by the Court for
restitution.  Reviewed by the Administrative Committee on November 13,
2007.

ACTION:  Approve transfer of three abandoned bicycles to the Drug and
Mental Health Court program as well as the list of items attached as

G.     Sister City Policy Resolution - David Duke

The City Council previously approved a Sister City Policy.  This
Resolution serves to formally adopt the policy.

ACTION:  Approve Resolution 2007-28.

2.       Mayor's Appointments - Mayor Chaney

3.       Public Comment and Mayor's Response Period (limit 15 minutes)
- For members of the Public to speak to the Council regarding matters
NOT on the Agenda and not currently pending before the Planning and
Zoning Commission or Board of Adjustment, please state your name and
address for the record and limit remarks to three minutes.  Mayor will
respond to comments from previous meeting. 

4.       Withdrawal of Indian Hills 6th Rezone and Preliminary Plat -
Randy Fife

On October 15, 2007, City Council voted to approve the application for
rezoning of the Indian Hills 6th Addition but did not pass an ordinance.
Council directed staff to draft an ordinance based upon the motion
presented.  On November 1, 2007, Garrett A. Thompson presented a letter
to the City withdrawing the proposed rezoning and preliminary plat.  The
City Attorney was directed to research whether the City could continue
with its consideration of the proposed rezone in light of the
notification of withdrawal by applicant.  Reviewed by the Administrative
Committee on November 13, 2007.

ACTION:   Receive information and take such action deemed appropriate,
if any.

5.       Water Conservation Ordinance Changes - Les MacDonald

On October 15, 2007, the City Council considered proposed revisions to
the Water Conservation Ordinance that was adopted by the City Council on
May 17, 2004.  The revisions addressed the following areas:  Defining
the Outdoor Irrigation Season as the period within each calendar year
declared by the Public Works Director during which Outdoor Irrigation is
allowed within City limits which replaces the fixed season dates, the
beginning of the Outdoor Irrigation Season would be declared by May 1st
of each year; Specifying that Outdoor Irrigation shall be allowed only
between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. during the Outdoor
Irrigation Season unless modified by variance; Prohibits Outdoor
Irrigation at all times not within the established Outdoor Irrigation
Season; and Prohibits watering of impervious surfaces.  The Council
considered the Ordinance on first reading and requested an additional
revision which would modify section 17-8 D to eliminate the two (2) hour
stipulation for restarting watering in violation of the code.   The new
draft of the ordinance, dated October 18, 2007 includes the requested
revision.  Reviewed by the Public Works/Finance Committee on November
13, 2007.

ACTION:  Approve the Ordinance under suspension of the rules requiring
three complete and separate readings and that it be read and published
by title only; or consider the Ordinance on second reading; or reject
the Ordinance; or take such other action deemed appropriate.
