The Pocatello City Council took a series of formal votes at its June 5 meeting, approving a consent agenda and multiple permits, contracts and an annexation. Most items carried on voice or roll‑call votes with no extended debate.

Key outcomes (motions, movers, seconds and roll‑call outcomes as recorded at the meeting):

- Consent agenda (minutes, material claims for May 16–31, 2025, and a resolution authorizing destruction of temporary records pursuant to Idaho Code §50‑907) — motion by Council Member Cheatham, second by Council Member Mangum; roll call: all present voted yes; motion approved.

- Confirmation of Dakota Bates to fill City Council seat No. 4 effective 06/05/2025 — motion by Council Member Nichols, second by Council Member Cheatham; roll call: Bates and all listed members voted yes; Bates was sworn in following confirmation.

- Final plat: Hospital View Division 1 (JG Ventures LLC, represented by Bryce Marsh, Horrocks Engineering) — staff recommended approval with conditions; motion by Council Member Mangum, second by Council Member Paulson. Council Member Nichols recused and abstained from the vote because his company owns adjacent property; roll call otherwise recorded the remaining members voting yes; motion approved with Nichols abstaining.

- Final plat: Fairmont Place (applicant Cody Christiansen; Sunrise Engineering) — motion by Council Member Mangum, second by Council Member Cheatham; roll call recorded a unanimous yes among members present; motion approved with conditions.

- Idaho Fire Chiefs license plate grant application — staff memo described the program and the council considered a motion to submit an application and, if awarded, authorize acceptance and the mayor’s signature. The staff memo referenced $6,000; the motion on the floor stated $3,000. Council Member Mangum moved to approve the grant submission “in the amount of $3,000” (second: Council Member Paulson). Roll call recorded yes votes; motion approved. (Record: staff‑memo/meeting transcript shows a discrepancy between the $6,000 amount in the agenda text and the $3,000 in the motion; see clarifying details.)

- Housing plan professional services agreement (Stantec Consulting Services Inc.) — the city conducted an RFQ and selected Stantec; motion to award the contract was made by Council Member Nichols and seconded by Council Member Mangum. Roll call recorded yes votes; contract awarded and mayor authorized to sign after legal review.

- East Oak Street Child Pedestrian Safety improvements (Green Acres Elementary) — staff recommended accepting the low responsive bid from Deco Concrete LLC for $237,970.66 and authorizing an agreement in that amount; motion by Council Member Paulson, second by Council Member Mangum. Project is funded by a State of Idaho Children Pedestrian Safety program award of $250,000 with no local match; project manager Miriam Mejia said construction is scheduled to begin the week following the meeting and finish before school starts. Roll call recorded yes votes; motion approved.

- Airport lease renewals (two items: RDM On‑Site warehouse cold storage, ~4,208 sq ft; Maryland Merrill hangar space, ~1,760 sq ft) — motion by Council Member Mangum, second by Council Member Bates; roll call recorded yes votes; motions approved. Rents will escalate annually by CPI with full rate review in 2026 and every five years thereafter.

- Ordinance annexing approximately 77.95 acres north of East Center Street and southeast of Vista Drive, to be zoned Residential Low Density (RL) with concurrent comprehensive plan designation Residential (R) — Council moved to read by title and place on final passage; the ordinance was read in full and adopted on final reading. Roll call recorded yes votes.

Motions were typically approved by roll call. Where a council member declared a potential appearance of conflict (Council Member Nichols on the Hospital View Division 1 plat), the member recused and abstained from that vote.

Staff noted that grants, contracts and leases are subject to legal review and signature by the mayor when required. Several items carried scheduling or implementation notes (e.g., Green Acres construction scheduled for summer completion).
