Councilor Mayer asked a question about a line item in the finance report: a $610 charge described as a CSAC music license. City staff explained the fee covers yearly licensing for copyrighted music used at city public events, and said the license covers uses such as Hayden Days and other park events.

A motion to approve the consent calendar was made and seconded; the council then approved the motion by roll call: Council member Schaeffer (yes), Council member White (yes), Council President Roeder (yes) and Council member DuPreece (yes).

City staff presented four primary deliverables from the SCJ assessment: (1) amendments to goals, policies and vision (the “amendment option”), (2) updates to the transportation plan, (3) a sewer master plan update, and (4) a parks master plan update. The amendment option was described by staff and the consultant material as a lower‑cost approach intended to revise the comp plan chapters and the future land use map to reflect policy direction already discussed in prior workshops and a 2022 citizen survey.

Council members debated timing and scope. Several councilors cautioned that pending annexations and planned developments are already in various approval stages; some argued waiting could lock in outcomes for projects already moving through the permit process, while others said delaying the amendment would allow developers to build under the current plan and possibly frustrate newly expressed community priorities. City staff said the amendment is intended to align plan chapters, goals and the future land use map and would create the technical basis needed for later NEPA and capital planning work; staff also noted that some zoning‑text drafting can be done in‑house and that the amendment would be followed by public open houses and hearings.

After discussion, councilors indicated a consensus to direct staff to prepare an agenda item for the next regular meeting to authorize engaging the consultant (SCJ Alliance) to implement the amendment option and associated public outreach. Staff and council cited an estimated cost range of $30,000–$50,000 for the first (amendment) deliverable; council asked staff to identify funding sources and provide clearer documentation of the draft goals and policies and the version of the future land use map that would be used as the starting point.

Council also agreed to defer the other three deliverables (transportation, sewer, parks) to future fiscal years and to retain the option to program them into later budgets. Staff said they would produce the materials requested by individual councilors — including a clear, consolidated draft of proposed goals and policies and the maps used in the SCJ analysis — and that the draft amendment would go through traditional public‑comment steps (open house(s) and public hearing) before any adoption vote.

The workshop concluded with staff noting the next opportunity for public input will be the spring outreach the consultant and staff plan to host; council requested the materials be provided in advance of the next regular meeting so members could review them prior to deciding whether to authorize a contract.","At a Jan. 28 workshop the Hayden City Council discussed an SCJ Alliance assessment and gave staff direction to pursue the lower‑cost comprehensive plan amendment (first deliverable) estimated at $30,000–$50,000 and to place a contract request on the next regular agenda; other master‑plan deliverables were deferred to later fiscal years.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6678021,"Hayden council hears update on PEL study for Hayden/Hunter corridor; public meetings set for spring",1470,242000,1712000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159782-a89cc9f609d05f4f8d1fd4b0d5c839b2&start=242&end=1712","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159782-a89cc9f609d05f4f8d1fd4b0d5c839b2/thumbnail_242000.jpg","/articles/6678021/Hayden-City/Kootenai-County/Idaho/Hayden-council-hears-update-on-PEL-study-for-HaydenHunter-corridor-public-meetings-set-for-spring","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6678021-3d870a82844990f2c3e260693031d937/orig.mp4?Expires=1773079194&Signature=NF8pfHTBbO6lqpKDtJ8ply4tcJTFXctfA9MA5Fr-E7utaPwU7t0kBaAHgGLm6zHBcNFyxlwBQ0QE6dkUO7NHCq~LAo9PS2V9HMifjOHt3c8~XF1uUEIMSS5cQbgmzxNYOz-0KZh8DMHIC-ucVGa0fp3ejJ1T0vwSlgxLGJ8indhofSLGr3W5oEmZLXa~EyKi4vRCsi3JtcP2g3hYbagzY~D7RhAQfoA2DLP2Sui9~rFiDuFrP9Qiuae6opNHGPJcIGy~jRDSdMv~au44aWmGMOd8jXNvY1VSvKX7TUiqXu7rcc-ygrOWXaN6289zoFlNcEwRO4jYA6UmlZ5px0dHPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hayden City Council on Jan. 28 heard an update from Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) staff and the Kootenai Metropolitan Planning Organization (KMPO) on a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study examining alternatives for a multi-segment transportation system connecting Interstate 90, U.S. 95 and Highway 53 across the Rathdrum Prairie.

The presentation traced a series of prior transportation studies dating to 1997 and described how those efforts, plus a 2009 access-plan and a 2021 alignment update, led ITD and KMPO to the current PEL. KMPO staff said the PEL narrowed roughly 50 initial concepts through screening to 13 alternatives and will narrow those to three or four this spring and then to a final one or two alternatives by summer. ITD said the PEL is being used to identify a locally preferred system that can support future National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) study work and competitive grant applications.

Council members and the mayor raised concerns about near-term development pressures along two‑lane roads (notably Hunter) and the risk that housing construction could outpace transportation capacity. KMPO staff emphasized that funding outcomes depend on having a defined, supported alternative; federal and state competitive grants—including large programs that award funds for projects in the hundreds of millions—require a clear engineering and planning foundation before funding is likely to follow.

ITD described the range of alternatives under study: “D”-type concepts would function with signals and direct access (more local street character), while higher‑access variants such as alternative H would be limited‑access, divided corridors with interchanges and overpasses. During the meeting an ITD/KMPO speaker estimated a major limited‑access alignment could be in the low‑hundreds of millions of dollars and said some conceptual builds could approach the $200–$300 million range depending on scope and interchange spacing.

Council members and attendees asked about environmental and water‑resource impacts. KMPO staff said stormwater design for highways follows DEQ and EPA standards and that typical roadside swales and filtration are used to reduce runoff reaching groundwater. Presenters noted septic systems and direct injection from septic infrastructure are a separate concern and recommended continued coordination with the aquifer board, DEQ and other water authorities in project design.

ITD staff said a public comment and outreach round is expected in spring (the presenters repeatedly referenced March for open‑house events), with alternatives narrowed further by summer. Staff emphasized the study’s role: to provide the technical basis needed to pursue NEPA and competitive funding, not to commit funding or immediate construction. Attendees were told there will be another public meeting this spring where the community may review and comment on the narrowed alternatives.

The PEL presentation also reviewed recent local projects derived from past planning work: a roughly $10 million FASTLANES federal grant that funded safety and operations work on U.S. 95, and signal work intended to improve connectivity between Government Way and other corridors. Presenters urged regional coordination and said history shows projects can move rapidly when legislative or congressional priorities and funding align, but they cautioned users should not expect an immediate construction schedule—timelines depend on funding and political will.

Next steps identified at the meeting: a spring public open house to present the level‑2 narrowing, further technical screening to reduce options to three or four, continued coordination with DEQ and the aquifer board on environmental issues, and preparation of materials to support later NEPA work and grant applications.

Speakers at the presentation included Glenn Miles of KMPO and Carrie Gentry of the Idaho Transportation Department, with local elected officials and staff participating in Q&A.","Idaho Transportation Department and Kootenai MPO updated Hayden City Council on a multi-year Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study for the Hayden/Hunter corridor, outlining alternatives, funding prospects and a timeline that could extend years; public open houses are expected this spring.","actionData","errors"]
