Special Events Coordinator/Sergeant will evaluate each event application and determine the necessity of and type of security. Police
Officers may be required depending on the scope of event.
The organizer may also be required to provide additional services (lost child booth, trained medical personnel, etc.) at the discretion of
the Special Events Coordinator.

prohibited. Consuming alcoholic beverages will not be permitted in any other locations of the event.

From:

Nathan Erickson, Environmental Manager

ACTION ITEM
Request:
Request to approve the use of FY2026 wastewater budgeted funds, not exceeding $557,255, for funding
the Canyon Rim Drop Line project final design Contract and Scope of Work with Hazen and Sawyer, and
authorize the Mayor to sign.
Time Estimate:
The staff presentation will take approximately five minutes.
Background:
The Grandview Wastewater Trunkline is a critical component of the City’s wastewater collection system.
It conveys approximately 4 to 5 million gallons per day, nearly half of the City’s total wastewater flow to
the wastewater treatment plant. Because of its importance to uninterrupted wastewater service, the City
has identified the need for additional system redundancy. The City installed the existing trunkline and
associated structures in the late 1990s and currently cannot verify the system's condition or integrity
because of its location on the canyon rim and the need for uninterrupted wastewater service.
The Canyon Rim Drop Line Project will provide a redundant wastewater conveyance route from the
canyon rim to the canyon floor. Planned improvements include a new control box at the canyon rim, a
sewer drop line extending down the canyon, and an energy dissipation structure at the base of the
canyon. Together, these improvements will strengthen system reliability and reduce the risk of service
disruption associated with a failure or operational limitation of the existing trunkline.
Given the project’s technical complexity and the need to evaluate feasible alignment, construction,
geotechnical, and permitting considerations, the City first advanced the project through a 30-percent
design phase. The preliminary construction cost estimate, including contingency, is $7,281,600. This
request will fund the next phase of work necessary to complete final design documents and prepare the
project for construction. Hazen and Sawyer has submitted a scope of work for $557,255, including final
design, geotechnical investigation, surveying, public engagement, and bidding services (see attached).
The City budgeted $4,000,000 for the project in FY2026. If approved, this contract will be executed and
encumbered in the next fiscal year. The remaining balance of this year's budget, approximately, $3.3
million, will roll into reserves to support future construction costs.
Final design is anticipated to be completed by mid-FY2027, with construction expected to begin
thereafter and continue into FY2028. Staff will provide Council with updates and, as appropriate, seek
additional Council action as the project advances through final design, bidding, and construction.
Approval Process:
Majority approval by City Council will authorize City Staff to use FY2026 wastewater budgeted funds.
Budget Impact:
Sufficient FY2026 wastewater budgeted funds are available.

Regulatory Impact:

History:

Analysis:

Conclusion:
Staff recommends approval of the $557,255 scope of work with Hazen and Sawyer to complete final
design and bidding services for the Canyon Rim Drop Line Project. This investment will advance a critical
redundancy project that protects the City’s wastewater collection system and supports reliable service
for the community.

AGREEMENT

3.1

of the effective date and issuance of Notice-to-Proceed and will terminate
either:

forth in Schedule A; (2) on the date specified in Schedule B, if such date is
specified, as applicable; or (3) as otherwise terminated under this
Agreement.

3.2

reasonable time. Specific periods of time for rendering services are set forth
or specific dates by which services are to be completed are provided in
Schedules A and/or B. If, through no fault of ENGINEER, such periods of
time or dates are changed, or the orderly and continuous progress of
ENGINEER’s services is impaired, or ENGINEER’s services are delayed
or suspended, then the time for completion of ENGINEER’ services, and the
rates and amounts of ENGINEER’s compensation, shall be adjusted
equitably. If OWNER authorizes changes in the scope, extent, or character
of the PROJECT, then the time for completion of ENGINEER’s services,
and the rates and amounts of ENGINEER’ compensation, shall be adjusted
equitably. OWNER shall make decisions and carry out its other
responsibilities in a timely manner so as not to delay ENGINEER’s
performance of its services.

Art. 4.

4.1

Payment Amount(s). As compensation for the services to be performed by
ENGINEER, OWNER shall pay ENGINEER the amount(s) set forth in
Schedule B, attached hereto. The method of compensation shall be set
forth in Schedule B. OWNER agrees only to be liable for payment to
ENGINEER for ENGINEER’s proper performance of services, as provided
for in Schedule B.

City of Twin Falls
Attention: Nathan Erickson
119 South Park Ave West
Twin Falls, ID 83301
4.3

Failure to Pay. If OWNER fails to make any payment due to ENGINEER for
services and expenses within 30 days after receipt of ENGINEER’s invoice,

Chelsea Ross: Utility Billing Manager

PRESENTATION
Request:
Presentation of a citizen survey regarding residential curbside recycling and request for Council direction
on survey content before public release.
Time Estimate:
Staff presentation is estimated at 10 minutes, plus time for Council questions and discussion.
Background:
The City’s current residential solid waste contract includes bi-weekly curbside recycling as part of the
base residential service. PSI currently provides a 95-gallon recycling cart to single-family customers and
collects recyclable material every other week. Because recycling is bundled into the current contract rate,
the existing agreement does not identify a separate stand-alone recycling price.
During the 2025 sanitation Request for Proposals, staff required recycling to be priced separately so
Council could evaluate the cost of the service independently of solid waste collection. PSI’s proposal
identifies the cost of a City-wide, bi-weekly curbside recycling program at $5.79 per residential account
per month.
If Council chooses not to include City-wide recycling in the City contract, PSI has also presented a
subscription-based alternative. Under that model, individual households could choose to opt in and pay
PSI separately for curbside recycling. PSI has stated that a reliable subscription price cannot yet be
established because the cost would depend on participation, route density, equipment, staffing, and
processing requirements. Any subscriber-based service would be handled by PSI rather than through the
City.
Purpose of the Survey:
• Gather citizen feedback regarding residential recycling services.
• Understand current recycling participation and how frequently residents use the service.
• Identify barriers that prevent residents from recycling.
• Determine resident support for continuing City-wide bi-weekly recycling at an additional contracted
cost of $5.79 per residential account per month.
• Gauge interest in a voluntary PSI subscription option if City-wide recycling is not included in the City
contract, while clearly noting that the subscription price is still to be determined.
• Identify services, improvements, or recycling options residents would like Council to consider.

Council Discussion Requested:
Staff is seeking Council direction on what questions should be included in the survey to provide the
clearest understanding of citizen preference. In particular, staff requests feedback on whether the survey
should:
• Present a direct choice between continuing City-wide recycling at $5.79 per month per account and
discontinuing City-wide recycling.
• Ask residents who currently recycle how often they use the service and what materials they recycle.
• Ask residents who do not recycle why they do not participate.
• Ask whether residents would be interested in independently subscribing with PSI if the City-wide
program is discontinued, with the subscription price shown as “to be determined.”
• Include any additional questions Council believes are necessary before making a final policy decision
on recycling.
Approval Process:
No formal action is requested on the recycling program at this meeting. Staff is requesting Council
direction on the survey content. Staff will revise the survey based on Council feedback before public
release. The final decision on whether recycling remains part of the City’s solid waste contract will return
to Council separately.
Budget Impact:
There is no immediate budget impact from Council’s discussion of the survey.
Regulatory Impact:
NA
History:

Analysis:

Conclusion:
Staff recommends that Council provide direction on the questions and service alternatives to be included

ACTION ITEM
Request:
Request for City Council to initiate a Zoning Title Amendment to correct identified errors and omissions
found in Title 10.
Time Estimate:
15-20 minutes for Staff presentation
Background:
On January 1, 2026 the City of Twin Falls adopted a complete rewrite of Title 10 "Zoning and Subdivision
Regulations." In June 2026, City Council passed an ordinance amending Title 10 to clarify policy language
and references to improve consistency and implementation; clarify administrative processes such as
application submittal requirements, review procedures, and notice procedures; clarify land use
regulations/standards and how specific uses are categorized and reviewed. Staff is seeking approval from
Council to initiate a similar zoning title amendment.
Approval Process:
Twin Falls Municipal Code 10-2-5(F)(2) authorizes specific individuals and bodies to initiate amendments
to the Zoning Title, including the City Council. Approval by a simple majority of the Council will direct staff
to begin preparing corrective amendments. Upon completion of the draft amendments, staff will initiate
the required public hearing and adoption process for Commission and Council consideration and action.
Budget Impact:
N/A
Regulatory Impact:
A motion approving this request enables Staff to start the Zoning Title Amendment Process to correct the
necessary items.
History:
N/A
Analysis:
N/A
Conclusion:
The Commission may approve, approve with condition or deny the request as presented. A simple
majority approval will suffice.
A sample motion may be worded as follows: "I moveto initiate the Zoning Title Amendment for the
presented changes."

DISCUSSION
Request:
Discussion with Council regarding customized questions for the 2026 National Citizen survey.
Time Estimate:
10 minutes for a brief discussion with the Council.
Background:
The City of Twin Falls has been conducting the National Citizen Survey since 2012. The decision was made
in 2023 to switch from an every-other-year schedule to an annual survey of our citizens. Additionally, that
same year we elected to begin asking customized questions. For the last three years we have asked
respondents to indicate their support for placing a local option sales tax question on the ballot, as well as
their level of support for local option sales tax.
The following was included as context for the questions being asked: A proposal may be considered by
the Idaho Legislature that, if approved, would give the City of Twin
Falls the ability to have voters consider a 1% sales tax increase. It is estimated that this 1% increase would
generate $16 million annually. The proposal would require that half of the annual revenue be used to
provide property tax relief for property owners, and the other half would be used to fund City capital
needs, like public safety, parks & recreation, or transportation infrastructure projects. The 1% sales tax
increase could only be enacted following voter approval and would have a mandatory and predetermined
sunset.
Support for including local option sales tax on the ballot as well as support for a local option sales tax in
Twin Falls declined from 2023 to 2024 and then rebounded in 2025.
The question this evening is whether the Council would like to continue asking the same questions or if
we should select another topic for the custom questions.
