REGULAR MEETING

7:00 p.m.

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 may be placed on the time
allowed for comments.  Citizens wishing to comment on business that 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" in the door pocket outside the City
Council Chambers.  Thank you for your interest in City government.

 

RENEWING OUR FOCUS - At each meeting, we may highlight good deeds, good
news, and the people and activities that inspire us and make our
community great then lead the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Contact a Council-member with examples to share at future meetings.

C.     Fiber Optic Lease to University of Idaho - Jesse Flowers

Staff has been approached by The University of Idaho with a request to
lease fiber optic strands from the City from University of Idaho to City
Hall and then from City Hall to the old Campus substation.  Staff has
prepared a draft lease agreement in accordance with the Fiber Use Policy
that was adopted by the City Council on December 18th 2006.  The lease
agreement would be for a term of 3 months and would include 1 strand for
total leased strand footage of 8,900 feet.  Reviewed by the
Administrative Committee on June 14, 2010.

 

ACTION: Approve the fiber lease agreement

 

D.     COPS - Update and Resubmit Grant Application - Alisa Stone/Dan
Weaver/David Duke

The Office of Community Oriented Policing Service (COPS Office) has been
authorized to open the 2010 COPS Hiring Program (CHP) and will award
$298 million to address the needs for full-time sworn officers in
enforcement agencies.  The grantees will be COPS Hiring Recovery Program
(CHRP) applications.  No new applications will be accepted and it is
anticipated that fewer than 500 awards will be given.  The City of
Moscow Police Department submitted an application for the 2009 CHRP but
was not awarded and therefore is eligible to reapply.  Targeted updates
to the 2009 application will be made so the request can be reevaluated
based on current data.  Funding for 2010 is different from 2009 in that
it will allow agencies to hire new officer positions, or to rehire
officers that have been laid off, or are scheduled to be laid off on a
future date as a result of state or local budget reductions.  The 2009
application requested funding for two entry-level police officer
salaries and fringe benefits for 36 months.  The 2010 application will
include current staff data, 2007 updated population, and
previous/current fiscal and updated crime data as well as the changes
with the University of Idaho contract and the decrease in funding
levels.  The application is due June 16, 2010.  Reviewed by the
Administrative Committee on June 14, 2010.

 

ACTION:  Ratify and approve submittal of the COPS Grant Application.

 

E.      Orchard Overlay Bid Award - Kevin Lilly

Bid opening was May 21, 2010 for a project to reconstruct Orchard Avenue
from F Street to Thatuna Avenue.  Three bids were received as follows:
Poe Asphalt Paving, Inc. in the amount of $ 295,892.15; Motley and
Motley, Inc. in the amount of $307,097.00; and M.L. Albright and Sons,
Inc. in the amount of $328,699.05.  The Engineer's estimate was
$317,058.84.  The bid opening took place in Boise at the office of the
Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC). The City of Moscow
Public Works was notified by LHTAC that the Poe Asphalt bid submitted
was missing key documents and was therefore declared irregular. The bid
received from Motley and Motley has been reviewed and deemed reasonable.
Reviewed by the Public Works/Finance Committee on June 14, 2010.

 

ACTION:  Accept the lowest complete bid and award the contract to Motley
and Motley, Inc. in the amount of $307,097.00.

5.      1521 W. 'A' Street Lot Division - Mike Ray

Gary and Lynne Young are requesting a lot division for an approximately
2.01 acre parcel currently addressed as 1521 West A Street and located
at the corner of Farm Road and A Street in the City of Moscow. The
applicants are requesting to divide the parcel into two separate lots,
the northern being 0.41 acres and the southern being 1.6 acres as shown
on the attached map. The proposed lots are in the Motor Business (MB)
Zone which has no minimum lot size or minimum lot width requirements for
commercial uses. There is currently an existing 20 ft overhead utility
easement extending north to south and spanning almost the entire length
of the parcels. In accordance with City of Moscow requirements, property
owners within 600 ft of the property have been notified of the proposed
division and the site has been posted seven days prior to the meeting
date.  Reviewed by the Public Works/Finance Committee on June 14, 2010.

 




ACTION:  Approve the lot division request with the condition that the 10
foot utility easement along the frontage of parcel 2 be continued
southwest along the full frontage of the parcel labeled "remainder of
parcel 4" or reject the lot division or take such other action deemed
appropriate.

 

6.      Revision of Rendezvous in the Park Alcohol Request - Dwight
Curtis

An alcohol request for Rendezvous in the Park was approved by the City
Council on May 17, 2010. This nullifies Resolution 2010-17 and replaces
it with the conditions contained herein.  Missing in Resolution 2010-17
is that the entire fenced off area will be designated as the beer garden
to allow families to be together to watch the music festivities, as well
as a secured internal alcohol dispensing area.  Reviewed by the
Administrative Committee on June 14, 2010.

 

ACTION:  Approve the Resolution or reject the Resolution or take such
other action deemed appropriate.
