Hayden council approves fees, plats and contracts; rolls through consent items
Summary
At its Dec. 10 meeting the Hayden City Council approved a range of routine and substantive items including a revised fee schedule (with one amended appeal fee), two preliminary plats, a lift-station construction contract, an interlocal amendment on the H6 force main and several administrative items.
Hayden City Council voted on several administrative and land-use items during its regular meeting Dec. 10, adopting a revised fee schedule, approving two preliminary subdivision plats, awarding a lift-station contract and authorizing an amendment to a cooperative agreement for sewer work.
The council approved the consent calendar (minutes, treasurer's report, road report, purchase requests, plats and ratifications). Council then approved a resolution adopting an updated master fee schedule for city services while amending one line item: the fee for an appeal/reconsideration of a City Council public hearing was set at $600 (amended from the published cap of $856 and the prior amount of $440). The council also voted to make the new fees effective Jan. 1, 2025.
On land-use items, the council approved PZE20-0193 (Battleground phased subdivision preliminary plat) adopting Planning & Zoning Commission recommendations and staff conditions of approval. Later the council approved PZE24-0014 (Northwinds preliminary plat) with the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended conditions; the record for Northwinds was treated as a closed record, and the council directed that any needed amendments to the annexation agreement be handled separately.
On infrastructure, the council awarded the H6 lift station construction contract to SimCo Development Group LLC after finding the apparent low bidder nonresponsive for failing to list required subcontractor/licensing information. The council also approved an amendment to the cooperative agreement with the Canadian Area Regional Sewer Board (CARB) to address construction engineering and inspection (CE&I) funding for the H6 force main, allowing the city to retain bid savings to pay CE&I costs and then remit any remaining balance to CARB.
Other formal actions included: adoption of the 2025 council and commission meeting schedule (with November moved from Nov. 25 to Nov. 18), appointment of Christopher Morris to the Planning & Zoning Commission, and a motion approving the Development Impact Fee Advisory Committee's recommendation to publish notice and set a public hearing under Idaho Code 63-1311(8) to consider impact-fee increases.
Quotes and votes: Roll-call votes recorded Council Member White (yes), Council Member Schaffer (yes) and Council Member DuPreece/DePriest (yes) on the motions noted above. No motions recorded negative votes at the Dec. 10 meeting.
A number of agenda items discussed operational details and next steps (traffic mitigation agreements tied to plats, timing for final plats and cost-share agreements for off-site road work) but those require subsequent agreements or final plats before construction begins.
