Young at Heart Senior Citizens—Additional funding for new senior center

Jeanine Cox stated that the seniors are about $1 million short of the cost of the new center. While they will continue their fundraising efforts, the seniors are requesting an additional $500,000 from both the City of Rock Springs and the Sweetwater County Commissioners.

Ms. Cox stated that the current building expenses are paid by a 65/35 split between the county and the city. The seniors will be requesting the same arrangement again for the new building. However, the County Commissions indicated that they thought this split should be reversed.

Councilmembers Kourbelas stated that the senior center should be viewed as a recreational facility that is funded by the city. He supported the project and the additional funding, whether the monies came from the budget or from the consensus funding.

Mayor Kaumo agreed with Councilmember Kourbelas, but stated that he didn’t like the county’s proposal to reverse the funding split on building expenses once the project is completed. He thought there could be some adjustment.

77 City Council Meeting 5/6/08

City of Rock Springs ) County of Sweetwater ) State of Wyoming )

City Council held a budget workshop on April 23, 2008.

INTRODUCTION

Budget Committee Chair Carl Demshar presented the governing body with the proposed budgets from the city departments. He asked them to review the documents and if they had any questions to contact the department head. Another budget workshop will be held in the near future to discuss the proposed overall budget.

He stated that this was a difficult budget. There were many substantial requests, but with the leveling of the sales tax, some items had to be cut. These items were put on a list and if there is a balance in this year’s budget, some items may be added back in. He asked the governing body to prioritize this list in case there are additional monies available at year end. He added that no personnel requests were included in the proposed budget.

Councilmember Demshar stated that the proposed budget is in balance with cash and operating reserves in tact. There will be no increase in water or sewer rates this year.

AGENCY FUNDING REQUESTS

Sweetwater County Airport

Gary Valentine stated that the airport was requesting a 7% increase in funding this year, for a total request of $137,402. This amount represents 3% of their overall budget.

Rock Springs Chamber of Commerce

Russ Kirlin stated that the Chamber was not requesting an increase in the contract amount this year. However, they were requesting additional monies under different line items. $20,000 was being requested for the design of the High Desert Interpretive Center and $75,000 for “way finding” signage as recommended by the DDI study.

SWEDA

Pat Robbins stated that SWEDA was requesting a 3% increase in funding to cover inflation and cost of living increases. She stated that it has been a great year and many grants were awarded for projects in the county, including $3.9 million towards the new Senior Citizens Center.

Recycling Center

Aaron Webb stated that the Recycling Center is requesting the same amount of funding for next year ($45,000), but requested that the $70,000 in the current budget be carried over, as the project was not done during this fiscal year.

78 City Council Meeting 5/6/08

Sweetwater County Library

Boyd Broughton stated that the library is requesting less money than last year, as last year included a new HVAC system for the Rock Springs Library. This year’s request is for $25,000 which goes towards youth services, building maintenance, and technology.

Red Desert Roundup Rodeo

Jim Todd stated that the committee is requesting $10,000 in funding this year to improve the grounds.

79 City Council Meeting 5/6/08

City of Rock Springs ) County of Sweetwater ) State of Wyoming )

City Council held a special workshop on April 29, 2008. Mayor Kaumo called the meeting to order at 5:40 p.m. Members present included Councilmembers Joyce Corcoran, Neil Kourbelas, Glennise Wendorf, Harry Horn, Craig Nelson, Kent Porenta, and Mayor Timothy Kaumo. Councilmembers David Tate and Carl Demshar were absent from the meeting. Department heads present included Vess Walker, Paul Kauchich, Dave Lansang, Mike Lowell, and Fire Inspector Carl Blanksvard.

North Elk Street Traffic

Paul Kauchich displayed a map outlining projects that are proposed for development east of Elk Street, between Stagecoach Drive and Desert Boulevard. The main concern is that these developments want access onto Elk Street, which is already congested. Alternate routes need to be developed in order to alleviate additional traffic problems in that area.

Councilmembers, staff, representatives from WYDOT, and business/land owners of the proposed developments discussed the projects, the roadblocks they were encountering, and offered suggestions for solutions to the problems.

It was noted that storm drainage should be addressed through the proposed Mountain West development. Carl Blanksvard also reminded everyone that if a development has more than 30 residential units, multiple access is required.

After much discussion, it was the consensus of those present that the city should explore the option of obtaining White Mountain Drive from the county in order to widen and extend it and make it a collector route. There are three properties on that street that would need to be relocated or removed in order to achieve this.

The next step would be to extend Desert Boulevard straight out to the east. A new road would be developed going north and south to connect with Lionkol Road and the proposed housing development.

Mayor Kaumo asked staff to design a preliminary layout with cost estimates. Everyone could then meet again to see how it incorporates with the proposed projects and WYDOT regulations.

It was agreed that the Desert Development Mobile Home Park expansion could move forward as it would not require access onto Elk Street.

The next workshop will be held on Monday, May 12, 2008, at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

80 City Council Meeting 5/6/08

City of Rock Springs ) County of Sweetwater ) State of Wyoming )

City Council held a budget workshop on May 5, 2008. Council President David Tate called the meeting to order at 6 p.m. Members present included Councilmembers Joyce Corcoran, Neil Kourbelas, Glennise Wendorf, Harry Horn, David Tate, Carl Demshar, Craig Nelson, Kent Porenta, and Mayor Timothy Kaumo. Department heads present included Vince Crow, Vess Walker, Lisa Tarufelli, Paul Kauchich, Lyle Armstrong, Dave Lansang, and Mike Lowell.

INTRODUCTION

Budget Committee Chair Carl Demshar stated that the meeting would open with questions from the governing body. He added that they will be watching the anticipated expenditures balance between now and the end of the fiscal year. Any leftover monies can be rolled over to the new budget and projects can be added back in.

Committee Chair Demshar asked the Mayor and Council to prioritize the Capital Projects/Equipment Cuts list and asked that the personnel requests be considered at the same time.

QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS

Councilmember Kourbelas stated that he supported the Police Department’s request for more manpower and a specialized traffic enforcement unit. He asked that this be a top priority if additional revenues were available.

Councilmember Corcoran questioned the cut to the Animal Control building expansion. She stated that since the city is going to work with the county on this, a larger building would be required. She would like to see the full amount of $250,000 in the budget.

Lisa Tarufelli stated that the budget can be revised up until the City Council’s second meeting in June, but 7 days prior it will be sent to the newspaper for publication. The budget will become a public document after the governing body approves the preliminary budget at tomorrow night’s City Council Meeting. It will be posted on the website the following day.

Mayor Kaumo asked the governing body to consider the additional staff request for the new 9-holes at the golf course (irrigation specialist) and three additional traffic patrol officers as high priority.

Suggestions were made for increasing revenue: (1) adjust water rates to customers outside the city limits, as we do with sewer rates; and (2) increasing fines for traffic violations for those people living in Sweetwater County but not registering their vehicles here.

Vess Walker stated that the budget for the Waste Water Treatment Plant includes a plant mechanic position. With the expansion of the plant, operations have doubled. This is an enterprise fund and the money is already there. He asked the governing body to not remove the position from the budget.

Lisa Tarufelli reported that if three police officers and one irrigation specialist were added to the budget, the increase for salaries would be $326,851.46.

Mayor Kaumo commended Vess Walker in recouping over $153,000.00 on the Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion project.

81 City Council Meeting 5/6/08

Councilmember Demshar remarked that the hidden costs with capital projects are long term operations and maintenance and additional staffing. These often run more, in the long run, than the initial cost of the project itself.

NEXT BUDGET WORKSHOP

The next budget workshop will be scheduled in June, sometime between the two Council Meetings.

Councilmembers David Tate, Kent Porenta, Harry Horn, Joyce Corcoran, and Carl Demshar were absent from the meeting. Department heads present included Paul Kauchich, Dave Lansang, and Lyle Armstrong.

North Elk Street Traffic

Paul Kauchich displayed an updated map showing the preliminary layout of the proposed subdivision east of White Mountain Road.

Mayor Kaumo stated that Sweetwater County is willing to give White Mountain Road to the city and this process is moving forward. The owners of the properties on the south side of White Mountain will be identified and contacted regarding the extension and widening of this street to make it a collector. When White Mountain is extended it will have to be determined if it will remain a collector through the housing subdivision.

The Mayor stated that it was determined a roundabout at the intersection of Desert and Century Boulevards would not work. There is not enough room. Desert Boulevard would have to be extended straight east.

Mayor Kaumo stated that he did not have any success contacting Sun-Mart and gaining their participation in resolving some of the traffic issues in that area. The hotel project will be on hold unless WYDOT approves it.

The next workshop will be held on Monday, June 2, 2008, at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

PROCLAMATIONS

Drug Court Month—May 2008

Mike Dayton with the Sweetwater County Attorney’s Office stated that Drug Court served 19 clients this past year. Five clients graduated in February and two more will graduate in July. These clients represent 2,085 days not served in jail, equating to over $200,000 in savings to the taxpayers. It takes an entire team to make this program work. It is very time consuming and requires a lot of effort on everyone’s part.

John Prokos, Sweetwater County Attorney’s Office stated that this is not a scott-free (hugs for thugs) program and a lot is required of the clients. He thanked the city for its continuing support.

Arbor Day—May 12, 2008

Mayor Kaumo read the proclamation declaring May 12 as Arbor Day. He stated that the recycling center is giving away free trees and shrubs.

PUBLIC HEARINGS

Public Hearing on request from the Urban Renewal Agency requesting Master Plan Map be amended from LIR (Light Intensity Residential) to C (Commercial) and the Official Zoning Map be amended from Community Business (B-2) to Central Business (B-3) for the URA Area #1, containing 19.03 acres (Ordinance 2008-08)

No comments were received.

PETITIONS

Scenic Development—Kim Rindlesbacher and Blake Parrish

Kim Rindlesbacher stated that his company would like to address a provision in the electrical code that requires conduit for electrical wiring on a project of their size. He also requested permission for security on site since there are a lot of materials being stored on the premises.

Blake Parrish stated that the provision in the electrical code is not required in the National Code or by any other municipality in the state. His company did not realize this when they were developing the project, and it would mean a substantial increase in costs. Scenic Development asked the governing body to consider a variance for their project or a change in the code.

Vess Walker, Director of Public Services stated that this provision has been in the city’s code since 1963 when the city elected the home rule option of meeting or exceeding the National Electrical Code.

After some discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Porenta, seconded by Councilmember Corcoran to send this request to the Building Codes Appeals Board. Motion carried unanimously.

Kim Rindlesbacher requested that his company be allowed to put a fifth wheel trailer on the site so they could have someone residing on the premises for security purposes.

Mayor Kaumo stated that the city has allowed construction trailers on site to serve as an office, but it goes against city ordinance to have someone residing there.

85 City Council Meeting 5/6/08

Mayor Kaumo recommended that the governing body allow staff to do their jobs and make recommendations to the Council concerning these two requests.

Michelle Quinn

Michelle Quinn questioned why the sexually oriented business ordinance was being amended so soon after its original acceptance.

City Attorney Vince Crow stated that since its inception his office has discovered case law that limits the number of years a person can be disabled from pursuing an entertainer’s license due to felony convictions. They also discovered some crimes that weren’t listed in the ordinance so those were being added as well. The amended ordinance would also make it illegal for an underage person to enter such a business, and they would be subject to citation and fines.

OFFICER AND STAFF REPORTS

Bar Report—April 2008

Moved by Councilmember Porenta, seconded by Councilmember Demshar to accept the report and place it on file. Motion carried unanimously.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND BOARD REPORTS

Councilmember Kourbelas stated that the Mayor’s Committee on Disabilities is going to provide incentives to private businesses that are willing to reach out to their disabled customers. A subcommittee will be surveying volunteer businesses and presenting plaques and stickers to those who go above and beyond requirements.

Councilmember Wendorf reminded everyone that City Wide Clean Up Day will be Saturday, May 17. Supplies are available at City Hall. She asked volunteers to contact the Chamber of Commerce for clean up locations.

The following correspondence was received: (1) Thank you note from Colleen Peterson; (2) Memo from Wyoming Department of Health regarding Amended Ch. 3 Construction Rules and Regulations for Healthcare Facilities; (3) Letter from John Barrasso, M.D. United States Senator congratulating the city for its designation as a Tree City by the National Arbor Day Foundation; and (4) Letter from URA to Lynn Jackman thanking him for the voluntary demolition work done on the Bunning Car Wash on Elk Street.

PETITIONS

David Freeman – Nuisance Graffiti

David Freeman, 111 Thomas Street, presented the governing body with photos of graffiti around the city and a Laramie ordinance addressing graffiti on buildings. He stated that the ordinance makes it illegal for property owners to host graffiti on a building for extended periods. He asked the Mayor and Council to consider an ordinance such as this.

Councilmember Demshar stated that he did not think it was right to ask businesses to bear the full responsibility for clean up. Their property was vandalized. Perhaps there is a way to negotiate through this dilemma.

Clark Stith stated that he is in favor of the ordinance generally. As a downtown business owner he thought that this would be a good opportunity for a public/private partnership.

Mayor Kaumo stated that vandalism is extremely frustrating and the city is doing what it can to address the issue and stay on top of it. Mayor Kaumo asked the City Attorney to review the ordinance and see what could be done.

Dave Hanks, Rock Springs Chamber and Roy Lloyd, NOWCAP Services

Dave Hanks and Roy Lloyd thanked the city and all the volunteers and businesses who helped plant flowers in 230 planters in the downtown area. Wal-Mart donated 3000 plants for this project and there were many groups and individuals who helped plant the flowers. This is a great addition to the downtown area in the summer months.

128 City Council Meeting 7/1/08

City of Rock Springs ) County of Sweetwater ) State of Wyoming )

City Council met in regular session on July 1, 2008. Mayor Kaumo called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Members present included Councilmembers Joyce Corcoran, Glennise Wendorf, Harry Horn, Kent Porenta, Neil Kourbelas, David Tate, Carl Demshar, Craig Nelson, and Mayor Timothy Kaumo. Department heads present included Mike Lowell, Vince Crow, Vess Walker, Lisa Tarufelli, Paul Kauchich, Dave Lansang, and Lyle Armstrong. The pledge of allegiance was recited.

Moved by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Demshar to approve the City Council Meeting minutes of June 17, 2008. Motion carried with Councilmember Kourbelas abstaining.

PETITIONS

Jim Channel, Disabled Veterans Commander stated that there is a lot of concern regarding the services for Veterans in Sweetwater County. He stated that the two service officers resigned today.

Mayor Kaumo stated that he has a meeting scheduled for Thursday with the parties involved to discuss the issues. The Mayor stated that the services for our veterans will not go away; the county and city officials won’t let that happen.

Bill Thompson, veterans advocate, stated that most people do not know about the services available unless they need the service. He hoped that the meeting on Thursday would help resolve the issues.

OFFICER AND STAFF REPORTS

Animal Control Report—May 2008; Bar Report—June 2008

Moved by Councilmember Porenta, seconded by Councilmember Nelson to accept the reports and place them on file. Motion carried unanimously.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND BOARD REPORTS

Councilmember Corcoran stated that the Rods and Rails Car Show was a success last weekend with over fifty entries. She stated that the next URA function would be the Blues & Brews Fest at Bunning Park on August 16.

Councilmember Wendorf stated that the Trash Task Force met on June 26 and identified four focus areas: mitigation, enforcement, compliance, and education. Their next meeting will be July 24 at noon at the Chamber of Commerce.

Councilmember Porenta stated that Craig Nelson has been elected the new President of SWEDA. He stated that the board will now be going through the process of hiring a new director and would appreciate input from the governing body.

Mayor Kaumo stated there was a question at the last council meeting regarding the maximum number of people living in a single family dwelling. It appears that street parking seems to be the real issue. There may be 6 or more people living in the same dwelling and each has their own vehicle(s).

City Attorney Vince Crow proposed that people could petition the city for restricted parking in neighborhoods. A public hearing would be held in a neighborhood to see how the residents felt about restricted parking in their neighborhood. If there was a positive response then the residents could apply for permits and restricted parking enforced.

129 City Council Meeting 7/1/08

Mayor Kaumo asked the City Attorney to bring forward an ordinance for review.

Mayor Kaumo stated that he would like to propose an ordinance regarding day time curfews for those between the ages of 14 and 17. The ordinance would make it a criminal offense for minors who are supposed to be in school, to loiter and wander around in public.

Mayor Kaumo stated that funding for the Reliance Water Project was denied at the recent SLIB meeting. There was a recommendation that the project pursue Chapter 28 funding, which requires a 50% match. The project is roughly $4.2 million which would mean approximately $1 million required by the city. Rock Springs does not have a million dollars at this time to put toward the project.

Mayor Kaumo stated that he took offense to a county commissioner’s remark that the City of Rock Springs has money and is doing a lot of other projects. This project is outside our city limits, we have been doing repairs on this line for years, and the city is currently spending $130,000 repairing a main line. Rock Springs is definitely involved in this project.

Mayor Kaumo stated that he felt the emergency funding was the way to go for this project and has asked the fire marshal to write a letter stating that there are not adequate fire flows in Reliance. He said they will reapply in August for funding.

CORRESPONDENCE

The following correspondence was received: (1) Letter from Pat Robbins, SWEDA Director regarding resignation to take position with the Wyoming Business Council; (2) Joint Powers Water Board agenda for June 17, 2008; (3) Thank you card to Mayor for participating in Preserve Wyoming conference; (4) Letter from Mazuran & Hayes, P.C. regarding the reclamation of property owned by Magna Investment, and (5) Letter from Bureau of Land Management regarding segregation of public lands that are under consideration for direct sale in Sweetwater County.

9 City Council Meeting 8/5/08

City of Rock Springs ) County of Sweetwater ) State of Wyoming )

City Council held a public meeting on August 13, 2008, to discuss continuation of WAM membership. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Timothy Kaumo. Present were Councilmembers Wendorf, Nelson, Corcoran, Horn, and Mayor Kaumo. Department Heads present included Paul Kauchich, Lyle Armstrong, Lisa Tarufelli, and Dave Lansang. George Parks, Executive Director of WAM and Leonard Anderson, WAM Board President were also in attendance.

Mayor Kaumo stated that Rock Springs is growing and struggling with not enough dollars for needed projects. He questioned the state’s population data used for the distribution of funds. Mayor Kaumo expressed concern that WAM was not doing enough to help the larger communities, and their lobbying efforts were less than adequate. He wondered what ideas WAM had for the future. Mayor Kaumo stated that the WAM dues will be brought to a vote at next month’s Council meeting.

Councilmember Corcoran stated that she is a strong supporter of WAM. She stated that Rock Springs has some serious problems and needs the help of both the state and WAM.

Councilmember Wendorf asked what the City of Rock Springs can expect in return for the dues paid.

Councilmember Horn stated that he reviewed the board membership of WAM and there are 15 representatives of small towns and only 7 for towns with a population over 7,000. He was concerned that WAM is catering to the small towns. He asked if WAM could look at what they can do for each group, as their needs are different.

Mayor Kaumo stated that there is a misconception that larger towns can take care of themselves, which is not the case. Larger communities need financial help as well.

Councilmember Nelson stated that he has been a strong supporter of WAM and they have accomplished a lot of good things.

Mayor Kaumo stated that now that the state has given a 7th penny option to cities he is afraid they will not be giving out more money to the communities. He stated that Rock Springs is producing revenue and we should be able to provide needed infrastructure to accommodate the growth and attract new business. The Mayor stated that he expected WAM to present this need more aggressively to the legislature.

City staff voiced concerns about not receiving funds to get needed projects done. They are being asked to do more and more with less.

Councilmember Corcoran stated that Rock Springs is in a boom cycle right now and needs to build a sustainable community to continue after the boom. She stated that the rest of the state seems to have an attitude about Rock Springs that it is the armpit of Wyoming. The legislature doesn’t care what happens in Rock Springs.

Lisa Tarufelli stated that she is very concerned with the proposed “power equalization” idea the Select Committee is reviewing. She felt it would be devastating as it is not a fair way to compare operational costs. The cost of government should not be regulated by the state. Lisa stated that in the first two months of this fiscal year sales tax revenue is down 30%. Costs are going up and if this is the trend for this year, it will be very difficult for the city.

10 City Council Meeting 8/13/08

George Parks thanked the governing body and staff for the opportunity to hear their concerns and frustrations. He agreed that the “power equalization” idea has the potential to go way overboard and it should be watched.

Mr. Parks stated that he thought the city would be better off staying with WAM and continue to be engaged in the legislative process. He stated that WAM’s number one goal is to work with the legislature. He stated that the Select Committee will not be making any recommended long term changes in 2009, but WAM will continue to be engaged in the process and he encouraged the city to do the same.

Mr. Parks stated that the number two goal is to address the new surplus at the state. WAM wants to know what king of revenue sharing will take place with that surplus, both in direct funding and capital funding.

Mayor Kaumo stated that impact is a real concern. It is very difficult to deal with a rapid population increase and meet those demands without additional funding from the state.

Mr. Parks questioned if the city was aware that the SLIB board has operating grants available, although they chose not to apply monies this way during recent distributions. He stated that the larger cities need the help of smaller communities because the legislature is sympathetic to them. WAM tries to get the best possible results for all towns and cities in the state.

Mr. Parks felt it was pertinent to make the legislature aware of all perspectives of an issue before they make a decision in order to avoid one that would be unbalanced.

Mr. Parks left a list of WAM accomplishments for the governing body to review. These are accomplishments and changes that have been made by WAM through the legislature. He highlighted the ones that directly benefitted Rock Springs.

Mr. Parks asked the governing body to consider the long term perspective and pros and cons of membership in WAM. He thought that pulling out would hurt the credibility of Rock Springs with the rest of the state. He encouraged them to get more engaged in the process and do more listening to others around the state.

Department heads present included Mike Lowell, Vince Crow, Vess Walker, Lisa Tarufelli, Paul Kauchich, Dave Lansang, and Lyle Armstrong. The pledge of allegiance was recited.

COMMENDATIONS

Service recognition of employees hired during the first half of previous years

Mayor Kaumo stated that the following employees were to be recognized for their years of service, and he presented plaques to those present. 10-year employees: Hollie Atwood, Brad Bell, Bruce Collins, and Jeffrey Swafford; 15-year employees: John Lesko and Niki McCulley; 20-year employees: Vicki Holdredge and Ken Weskamp; 25-year employees: Mike Gaviotis and John Rodiack; and 30-year employee June Schumacher.

Mayor’s Disability Awareness Committee – Person of the Year Award

Neil Kourbelas stated that the committee wished to recognize Paul Kauchich as Person of the Year for his tireless efforts in supporting and furthering the projects that have made Rock Springs more accessible for its disabled citizens.

Paul was presented with a plaque and thanked by the members of the committee.

PRESENTATIONS

Ann Stoeger, Area Director for USDA Rural Development—Community Facility Guarantee and Direct Loan programs

Ann Stoeger presented information to the governing body regarding loans and grants that are available to Rock Springs businesses and the community. She stated that she is available to visit with council and answer any questions.

PETITIONS

Mayor Kaumo asked the City Attorney to review the proposed Daytime Curfew ordinance before any petitions were heard.

Sherry Amundson stated that she is opposed to the ordinance and requested further review and research. She stated that studies have shown that these ordinances are not effective.

Doug Knight requested that the governing body consider lowering the speed limit on Bellview Drive. There are a lot of children that play in the area and there is a deaf child present. Vehicles are constantly speeding through the area and he was concerned for the children’s safety. He also noted that there was a traffic sign being obscured by a tree.

Mayor Kaumo stated that he was familiar with the situation and would discuss this with staff.

Councilmember Porenta questioned if the school district employed a truancy officer. The City Attorney stated that state statute mandates that they have one, so he assumed they did.

Police Chief Lowell stated that truancy is a civil issue and involves a long process. The proposed ordinance gives the police the right to take a child back to school. He stated that he felt this ordinance represented the majority viewpoint. He stated that the ordinance does not involve home school and he invited those parents to come and visit with him.

Councilmember Kourbelas stated that 14% level of truancy in our schools is unacceptable and something else needs to be done.

Cleta Elder stated that she objected to the proposed Daytime Curfew ordinance and questioned where it stated that it gives the police the right to take a child back to school. She requested a focus group or committee look at this some more and possibly initiate some rewording.

Mayor Kaumo stated that he appreciated and respected everyone’s comments. The governing body needs public input to make the right decisions. He asked concerned citizens to meet with the Chief, Councilmembers, and representatives of the school district to discuss this further.

Mike Ryan thanked the governing body for its quick response in addressing the safety issues on Blair Road.

Jonathan Stanke questioned how many of the citations issued to minors last year were prosecuted. The City Attorney stated that these would have been handled by the County Attorney’s office.

Janie Cantu stated that she previously lived in California where there was an effective ordinance. She stated that she had no objection whatsoever to the ordinance and felt that the city needed it.

Barbara Hufnaker stated that she felt the fine and sentence were too extreme.

Ron Johnson stated that he liked the idea that the ordinance puts the responsibility on the student and not the parents.

OFFICER AND STAFF REPORTS

Health Insurance Fund Recap—July 2008; Acknowledgement of receipt of Financial Disclosure Statements; Animal Control Report—July 2008; Financial Summary Report—July 2008

7 City Council Meeting 8/19/08

City of Rock Springs ) County of Sweetwater ) State of Wyoming )

City Council held a public meeting on August 25, 2008, to discuss the proposed Daytime Curfew Ordinance. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Timothy Kaumo. Present were Councilmembers Nelson, Corcoran, Horn, Demshar, Tate, and Mayor Kaumo. Department Heads present included Mike Lowell and Assistant City Attorney Rick Beckwith. Also present were School District #1 Superintendent Paul Grube and Attorney George Lemich for the School District.

Chief Lowell stated that a modification will be made to the ordinance deleting the possible jail sentence. He invited comments from the public on the ordinance.

Arlo Amundson asked what action the school district has taken to address truancy. He wondered if those policies could be updated, or if the open campus could be revised.

George Lemich stated that the school district’s policy is to send a letter to parents after the first unexcused absence. After five absences it is reported to the county attorney’s office. The school district has no authority to enforce truancy laws. State statute says children 16 and under or those who have not completed the 10th grade must be in school. Habitual truancy requires action by the school board, but the county attorney determines prosecution. Each school has an attendance officer and that is the school principal.

Sherry Amundson stated that she felt the truancy issue should be addressed at the school level. The police department is already overworked and shouldn’t be expected to handle this issue.

Police Chief Lowell stated that he felt this was a public safety issue. In the past year 34 arrests have been made for felonies and 354 citations issued to minors during the school year and school hours. It is better to catch this problem early. He stated that it is the police department’s responsibility to take on new roles and a police officer is the most qualified to make that contact. The ordinance only gives the police the authority to pick a child up and take him back to school. The rest is already in state statute.

Michelle Stahnke asked if someone from the school was following up with these kids to find out why they are skipping school.

Paul Grube stated that the school district recently revised their attendance policy, now making contact with the parents after the first unexcused absence. It is a major concern and they need to find out why the students are not comfortable coming to school.

Rick Beckwith stated that state statute says that home school children must be in school the same hours and session as public schools.

Darcy Lyon stated that she would have welcomed this ordinance when her children were in school. Truancy should be caught early to avoid having to go through the juvenile system.

Mary Hamilton asked why the community is being asked to do the school’s job. She stated that 86% of the students are doing good.

Holly Dabb presented the Council with copies of recent studies done by the Wyoming County Commissions Association on juvenile detention in our state. She stated that the truancy problem is actually a very small percentage in Rock Springs. Juveniles need a single point of entry into the system and she felt this ordinance would just add another layer to the process.

8 City Council Meeting 8/25/08

Emily Elder suggested that perhaps closing the campus would help address the truancy issue. She stated that all parties need to be on the same page before moving ahead with this ordinance.

Police Chief Lowell stated that he does not agree with the juvenile study. He stated that the juvenile system is a long drawn out process and it is better to address the issue quickly.

Mary Manatos stated that the community has more children being raised in one parent homes and not as many in wonderful family situations. Some of these kids will test the limits and it is best to stop truancy in the beginning. She asked if the school has in- school suspension and suggested a closed campus. She felt the ordinance takes immediate steps to keep kids where they need to be, in school.

Paul Grube stated that there is a misconception about the amount of truancy. There is a 12-14% rate of absenteeism at the high school, but the majority of these are verified and excused absences. He stated that the district is taking major steps to communicate with parents. The district does have in-school detention/suspension, but certain times help is needed from the parents. Out-of-school suspension is only used as a last resort.

Kim Wallace questioned if the ordinance was encroaching on the freedom to move about. She stated the situation of an officer approaching a child could be a fearful one for innocent children. She favored a closed campus and in-school suspension.

Rick Beckwith stated that citizens do have the freedom of movement, but it is not unfettered; there are prohibitions. The ordinance does not affect any protected activities, it is narrowly drawn, and it is not unconstitutional. It provides an immediate penalty for not being in school.

Councilmember Demshar stated that the number of citations issued this past year are an indicator of a problem. Laws are driven by a small fraction of the citizens to avoid problems becoming prevalent. He asked if the school district felt the ordinance would be helpful with the efforts to curb truancy.

Paul Grube stated that the school is not always successful. Communication with parents is crutial. They cannot force children to come to school. This ordinance would help a portion of the population and the school district.

Councilmember Demshar stated that if the ordinance passes on third reading and down the road they encounter problems with it, it can be revised or repealed.

Natalie Boren stated that she would like to see truancy officers at the school other than the principals. She stated that police officers are here to protect us, not to scare us, and children should be taught that.

George Lemich stated that the school district no longer has the authority to impose truancy officers as they once did. The school district can impose discipline but not punishment. There needs to be a partnership between the school district, the police department, the courts, and juvenile system on behalf of a child.

Natalie Boren asked if current law could be revised giving the police the authority to take a child back to school. If so, the ordinance wouldn’t be necessary.

Rick Beckwith stated that it would not provide immediate consequences, it would only get the child back to school. There should be some penalty for failure to attend school.

9 City Council Meeting 8/25/08

Mayor Kaumo stated that the police and fire departments make visits to the schools in an effort to familiarize students with those departments and establish a friendly relationship. Children should be comfortable to approach and be approached by those individuals.

Carolyn Hargis asked the school district why there is an open campus.

Paul Grube stated that the school district received requests from both sides of the issue. Perhaps it is time to have another discussion, depending on what happens with the ordinance.

Mayor Kaumo stated that he understands both sides of the issue. Some parents take an ownership role and others don’t, and others need some additional help. The purpose is to catch the truancy problem early, to intervene at the tipping point and keep the child on tract. He stated that the city also supports the Drug Court for young adults who have gotten into trouble and want some help.

Councilmember Corcoran stated that she spends her afternoons at the jail teaching classes for a GED. Many of her students say the ordinance may have helped keep them out of so much trouble. She agreed that some parents need additional help.

Mayor Kaumo closed the meeting by stating that we all need to look out for one another. The governing body has not made up its mind about the ordinance, but it is not intended to infringe on the rights of citizens.

The meeting adjourned at 9 p.m.

He suggested communities work to reduce the areas that are flood prone.

Mayor Kaumo stated that the city has a levy just east of Pearl Park. If the levy can be certified then it will solve a lot of issues for the downtown area.

She updated the Mayor and Council on her recent travels to trade shows and career fairs, and stated that there were a lot of inquiries from people interested in relocating to Sweetwater County.

She reminded the governing body that the 2009 Leadership Class will be forming soon, and she was looking forward to meeting new people and getting acquainted with Sweetwater County.

Star Transit—Kathy Gilbert

Kathy Gilbert, member of the STAR Transit Board, stated that they have been working toward a form of mass transit for Rock Springs/Green River. There is a proposed fixed route that they would like to implement soon. Unfortunately, a grant would not be available for funding the route so STAR will be requesting funding from the City and other county entities during the next budget session.

Councilmember Kourbelas suggested that the route include SWRC as he felt the disabled community utilizes the STAR frequently.

Ms. Gilbert stated that the STAR bus always provides rides on New Year’s Eve. The City has helped fund these rides in the past. She asked the governing body if they would be willing to fund the rides again.

Moved by Councilmember Kourbelas, seconded by Councilmember Corcoran to approve the request for funding for New Year’s Eve rides in an amount not to exceed $1,040.00. Motion carried unanimously.

This program is funded by both school districts, Sweetwater County, and the cities. The request is for a total of $6,352.00. This past year there were 157 referrals for Rock Springs students, and the program is currently tracking 35 students.

PETITIONS

Bingo Pull Tab Licenses for 2009: (1) American Legion—Archie Hay Post 24; (2) Rock Springs Young-at-Heart Senior Center; (3) Hospice of Sweetwater County operating as One From; (4) Fraternal Order of Eagles No. 151; and (5) BPO Elks Lodge #624 (voice vote required)

Moved by Councilmember Kourbelas, seconded by Councilmember Wendorf to approve the Bingo Pull Tab Licenses for 2009. Upon roll call the following voted in favor: Councilmember Wendorf, Kourbelas, Demshar, Nelson, Corcoran, and Acting Mayor Tate. Motion carried with Councilmember Porenta voting no.

Lisa Mueller, Urban Renewal Agency

Lisa Mueller stated that the Urban Renewal Agency is concerned about abandoned buildings in the downtown area that are not being kept up. She provided information to the governing body that gave samples of how to address this issue. The Destination Development report addresses this issue on pages 109-119.

City Attorney Vince Crow stated that the City has adopted the Uniform Code for Abatement. There is no regulatory structure for fining owners for not keeping their

buildings up. A determination would have to be made by a building official that a building was dangerous in order to move forward with the process.

Lisa Mueller stated that their intent is to find a layered process to encourage compliance to the ordinances.

Councilmember Kourbelas stated that usually when an ordinance is introduced that is when the discussion starts. He encouraged Mrs. Mueller to have Councilmember Corcoran, the URA’s liaison, bring an ordinance to the governing body to begin discussions on this issue.

Councilmember Demshar stated that as gaps in ordinances are identified, that is when the ordinances should be brought forth for discussion. He stated that the city’s own ordinances may in fact currently be a roadblock to the URA as they move forward in developing the downtown area.

Dave Hanks, Rock Springs Chamber of Commerce

Dave Hanks thanked the museum, the URA, and the city, especially the Streets and Police departments, for their help with the Lighted Christmas Parade. There were 45 lighted floats and 75 sponsors and volunteers who assisted with the parade. He estimated over 5,000 citizens watched the parade.

Dave Hanks also thanked Nikki McCulley for donating the Mayor’s Christmas tree for bank court.

OFFICER AND STAFF REPORTS

Animal Control Report—October 2008; Health Insurance Recap Fund—November 2008; Financial Report Summary—November 2008

Moved by Councilmember Porenta, seconded by Councilmember Demshar to approve the reports and place them on file. Motion carried unanimously.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND BOARD REPORTS

Councilmember Demshar, liaison to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, stated that the governing body would be addressing recreational fees later in the meeting. He reviewed the rationale used in determining the fee structure. It has been 10 years since recreation fees have been increased. The policy in place for addressing the fees states that the fee structure should be based on the cost of living index. After some discussion by the board, it was decided to recommend a 20 percent increase in recreation facility fees and a 30 percent increase in golf course fees.

Councilmember Demshar stated that a non-resident fee is being introduced and there will be no increase in senior citizen fees. It is the intent of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board that golf course fees increase immediately and the remaining fees increase on March 1.

Councilmember Demshar stated that the board will be addressing their policy for financially challenged individuals at the January meeting. Any recommended changes will then be brought to the governing body.

Councilmember Wendorf asked that the board consider a couples fee at the recreation facilities.
