The Pocatello City Council convened on September 18, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including lease agreements, use agreements, and construction contracts. The meeting began with a series of motions and votes, reflecting a collaborative approach among council members.

The first significant item discussed was the resolution for an airport lease agreement with RDM On-Site and Infinite Hydraulics. The council approved a five-year lease for approximately 4,208 square feet of warehouse space designated for cold storage of business supplies and equipment. The monthly rental rate is set at $553.80, with annual increases based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and a full rate review scheduled for 2026 and every five years thereafter.

Following this, the council moved to a use agreement with the Historic Old Town Pocatello Foundation, allowing access to the old downtown bus depot for investigative research and tours related to the 2025 Haunted History Walking Tours. The agreement was also approved, with council members expressing enthusiasm about the potential for paranormal investigations at the site, which has not been utilized for such tours in over a decade.

The council then addressed the construction manager general contractor services bid for the new clubhouse at Riverside Golf Course. The bid was awarded to Construction Services Incorporated, the highest scoring responsive firm. This project is funded through the golf capital improvement project fund, and the council authorized the mayor's signature on all necessary documents.

Lastly, the council discussed an ordinance to amend the fiscal year 2025 appropriations, increasing total expenditures by $5,399,717. This amendment accounts for additional revenue, including grant funds, and utilizes previously unappropriated cash balances for unanticipated city expenses.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to enhancing local infrastructure and community engagement through various agreements and projects. The next steps will involve the execution of the approved agreements and continued oversight of the funded projects.
