Dear City Council,
I am unable to attend the meeting on February 7, 2001 because I am out of
town. I hope you will consider this letter for the purpose of my opposition
on my assessment.
I realize improvements were supposedly done on the street to the side of my
building, but to be assessed $2,289.92 seems way out of line for any
benefits I have received. The street was repaved and new curbing was done
on the east side of my property, neither of which seemed to be in too bad of
shape prior to the new street being done. I had no choice or was not asked in
advance of what I thought. I realize my property tax isn't at issue here with
your council, but my taxes doubled this last year on top of your assessment
for some reason.
The contractor dug up my new sprinkler system to tear out the old curb.
They left the sprinkler line above ground from October until the next April.
Many people tripped over it all winter. I made many calls to John Millar
asking if the contractor could move it because of liability. He said he would
speak to Zollinger's. Nothing was ever done by the contractor.
When spring 2000 came the sprinklers were put back in the ground, but they
weren't set right. I had to call the original installer (Rainmakers) to come
back and make the proper adjustments, at my cost. The grass was dug up
from putting the curbing in and left as is. Again I called Mr. Millar and
asked what was to be done with the torn up grass. He indicated Zollinger's
were planning on coming over and either sodding in or reseeding it. After
several calls I gave up and waited. It still has not been replanted. As far as I
am concerned the work hasn't been completed, and once you have paid the
contractor off the work won't be done.
It was very inconvenient to have the construction go on as long as it did. To
have them tear everything up and then leave for the winter was not very
logical. For several weeks I had no access to my property from the
driveway. We had to park across the street for several weeks. I understand
construction is not convenient for anyone, but the extended time was
inexcusable.
I have other problems, but these are my main frustrations. Other than the
traffic signal on main street I don't feel I was benefited. Please take this into
consideration for me. Thank you ,and I am sorry I can't be in attendance,
but I will be back on Friday the 9t''. Please feel free to call me or have me
come in I would welcome the opportunity to speak to someone about this.
Sincerely,
Dana R. Miller

amount due for all four townhouses. We were each -to pay 1/4
of this amount making each assessment $3,666.68,
2. We received a letter from the City of Rexburg dated January 19,
2001 in which the assessment for each'Townshouse had increased
to $4,633.41 making an increase of $966.73 per Townhouse.
It would be a grand total of $18,533.64. There was no information

Council Members,
February 1, 2001
On behalf of A. Glen and Ruth Henderson, I am responding to your notice of assessment
of L.I.D. 31. It is unbelievable to see that you have decided to assess the owners of the 4
small townhouses $4633.41 each. Especially since they have received zero benefits from
the stated improvements. Our parent's townhouse is about 1100 square feet. The owners
of all the units are very elderly. They have suffered from breathing problems from the
constant dust, heat dehydration from not being able to open their doors and windows to
cool their units, constant infestations of hobo spiders, ants and mice because of the
digging on three sides of their homes. Grandview Drive was not passable for quite some
time. The noise of the backhoe and the jackhammer with the pounding of lava rock next
to their retaining wall approx. 20 feet from their backdoors was extremely loud and
constant. The dynamiting was very upsetting for them both physically and mentally.
They were without water several times. Our mother ended up in the emergency room
twice, once for mental stress and the second with a heart problem. Our Dad went to the
ER for dehydration. The people in the other units have substantual health problems as
well. All said and done, it turned out to be a spring and summer full of pure hell.
The people of Grandview Estates would have never agreed to change the zoning of the
property between them and the nursing home if they had known what was to come. Bob
Lee, who owned the property to the south and the east of the Townhouses, met with all of
them and persuaded them that everything would be fine and there would be nothing to
worry about. He promised them that there would be four similar townhouses built across
the street from them. He said that with his plans the value of their homes would increase.
They have gone from approximately $85,000 in value to an offered amount of $50,000.
He also said that he felt like he had a chance to sell the properties then, and might never
have another chance to sell for a very long time. Everyone hesitantly agreed to go along
with what Bob Lee asked for, because he seemed so nice to them and his mother -in -law
lives in one of the four homes. He sold the properties and came out very well from what
we've heard. Obviously the contractors on the south and the east built and sold the
student apartment buildings and none of the promises were kept. I would like to add that
the road in front of the Grandview Estates was a private road belonging to Grandview
Estates most likely the city claims it now. No townhouses have been built on tie south
side of Grandview Drive nor is there a privacy fence in their back yards (all promises of
the developers).
In closing, you might like to know that the elderly people in Grandview Estates fear that
if they state any objections to the assessment that the members of the City Council will
add another 20% on top of the 20% increase of the first assessment. These elderly
citizens are living on a very limited income. I am told if they cannot pay the assessment
in full when due, there will be 10% interest levied against them Please take another look
at what you're assessing, $4,633.41 is really an extreme amount for 1100 square feet of
living space. Then if you add another 20% on top of that amount it would be $5560.09
or over $5.00 /sq foot. Does each of the student apartments get assessed that much/sq
foot? Have you even driven by to see what you are taxing? Do you want the senior
citizens of Rexburg to live in fear of who or what is next on your list? The assessment
you are asking for would pay for a lot of medications and takes many months of Social
Security checks. Another big difference is the student apartment housing on the north,
east, and south is income property and the Grandview Estates is family homes of three
widows and one couple.
When was the last time the City Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission
approved high rise/high density housing or car washes in their neighborhood? When was
the last time they assessed themselves for improvements ( ?) which did not benefit them?
Hopefully the citizens of Rexburg will see what's been happening and start taking you to
task over your acUorrs. See you at the eeting on February 7a`.

Re: Public Hearing regarding proposed cellular tower— February 7, 2001
Dear council members,
I regret not being able to attend the hearing scheduled for February 7, 2001 regarding the
building of a proposed tower in the Rexburg impact zone. I present the following information
and suggestions with the hope that it will assist in the decision which is before you.
The proposed tower lies approximately 1/4 mile east of the Rexburg water tower and is
adjacent to land which I own. The proposed sight is located in the impact zone of the City of
Rexburg and it is my understanding that approval of the tower will be subject to a conditional use
permit in the existing zone. At the current sight is a tower that does not exceed the height of the
water tower and is unlighted.
The construction of towers in this particular area is always a concern for safe aircraft
operations. The area (indeed most of the city of Rexburg) lies within the protected area of the
instrument approach to the Rexburg airport. As tower construction increases in this highly
elevated area, the greater chance the instrument approach into the airport may be altered; thereby
lowering the approach minimums and compromising the effectiveness of the instrument
approach.
The proposed location is also an area where life flight helicopter operations and my own
personal helicopter operations have been conducted for the past 20 years. Numerous night
operations occur over the exact area where the tower is proposed. When the current unlit tower
was constructed all of us believed that the FAA would require that the tower be lighted.
Apparently FAA regulations did not require that the tower be lighted. The current unlit tower in
the area and any future ones are and will be a hazard to the safe operation of medial helicopter
flight operations and other flight operations that have regularly used the area for the past 20
years. 0
I
During the past five years, I have attended and expressed concern regarding the
proliferation of towers in the area and their impact on the safe operation of aircraft in the area as
well as the impact they have on future residential and commercial development. As a result of
input from myself and many of the residents of the area, the planning and zoning commission or
the city council have always imposed restrictions that the height of the towers do not exceed the
height of other existing structures in the area. But the question as to whether a tower is an
appropriate use in various areas seems to go imaddressed.
I believe the council must address just how many towers will be allowed throughout
Rexburg and in what areas they should or should not be allowed. Over and over again, requests
are made to locate towers in areas that will ultimately be residential or commercial. Within a
short time after the towers are constructed, many wonder just how compatible the tower is with
the surrounding uses. Currently, 80 acres of my property lies within the city limits. Although
there has not been a preliminary plat filed for the property, a proposed plat does exist. Future
plans for the property are for residential use. Towers should not and cannot continue to be
authorized pursuant to conditional use permits in these and other areas without due consideration
of their impact on surrounding areas The city must determine how such a particular use impacts
all zones and adopt specific zoning regulations assuring that the location of towers is compatible
with surrounding development.
I have felt so strongly about this issue that two existing towers located on property
which I own — I mile to the north and east of the proposed location -- have been converted to
very short term leases. The owners of the towers have been informed that at such time as future
uses in the surrounding lands becomes incompatible with the towers, the leases will not renew
and the towers will be removed.
For the above reasons, I respectfully request that this tower not be allowed to be erected
in the area until such time as the council takes the time to determine the long range effect of these
structures in the area. In the event it is authorized, I request that it be allowed pursuant to the
following conditions:
1. The tower not exceed the height of the Rexburg water tower or the unlighted tower
which is located in close proximity to the proposed site.
2. The tower meet specific lighting requirements imposed by the city that are in addition
to those required by the FAA and satisfy the concerns of existing users of the airspace.
3. The conditional use authorizing the tower be for a finite period. At such time as the
tower is incompatible with future uses, it will no longer be authorized and it will be removed.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter and for your many efforts in behalf of
our community.
Sincerely,
R

In response to your letters of January 17, 2001, regarding the removal of these two apartment complexes from
your subsidized housing program the Mayor and City Council feel that it is not in the best interest of our
community at this time to allow this low cost housing to be withdrawn from the City of Rexburg.
In the recent past our local college announced that they will be transitioning from a two year to a four year
university. This will lead within 4 ,years to a significant shortfall in the number of housing units needed for
married couples or families. It is anticipated that within four years there will be a need for an additional 1440
apartment units as shown on the attached housing outlook sheet from Ricks College.
The two apartment complexes in question have provided a needed service for residents of the City of Rexburg
and removing this financial aid from area residents will displace many families and will cause significant
hardships on those families and on the overall housing market within the City of Rexburg.
The City wishes to go on file as objecting to the transition of these units out of the USDA Rural Development
program. If we can be of additional service to you in defining the effect of this change please contact City Hall
at any time.
Yours truly,
CITY OF REXBURG

LIFE SAFETY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
The following is a list of life safety issues that the committees felt should be
mandatory for all existing apartment buildings applying for a new business license as well
as for all apartments in the Rexburg City Limits. This list is for existing apartments only.
All new apartments and existing buildings being converted to apartments shall be built to
the full extent of the Codes that are currently in place.
The purpose of this list is to provide a reasonable degree of safety to persons
occupying existing apartment buildings built and/or converted prior to 1985. Apartments
built or converted after 111185 shall comply with the code in place at the time of
construction or conversion.
LIFE SAFETY ISSUES
Every floor above the first story or basement used as apartments serving over 12
persons shall have a minimum of two exits. One of these exits for an upper floor may
be a fire escape built to the standards set forth in Section 3407.4 of the 1997 Uniform
Building Code (UBC), which is attached to the back of this document. An exit ladder
device may be used inlieu of a fire escape when approved by the City of Rexburg Fire
Department. For basements apartments requiring two exits, one exit will be allowed
when all bedrooms have egress windows that meet the requirements of item No. 8 in
this list, but also must have a minimum opening area of 5.7 square feet. All doors or
windows providing access to afire escape shall be provided with fire escape signs.
Exit signs shall be provided at exits where more than one exit is required and in
corridors used for exiting from multiple units. Exit signs shall be as per the 1997
Uniform Building Code. Primary entrance to an apartment is not allowed through a
garage. A one -hour firewall may be erected to separate the apartment entrance from
the garage. If a door is needed front the apartment entrance firewall to the interior of
the garage, it must be a door as described in item No. 3 below.
2. All stairs used as part of an exit shall have a maximum riser height of 8 ", a minimum
run of 9" and a minimum width of 30" (exclusive of handrails). An 8 -1/2" riser will be
allowed if the minimum tread is increased to 10 ". Every stairway with over 3 risers
shall be provided with a handrail. All stairs require landings with a minimum

manner that is compliant with Emergency Services. Contact Emergency Services for
more information.
The above list does not address every safety issue that may present itself. The
inspector at his/her discretion may identify additional safety items that need to be
remedied. Situations may arise that can't be feasibly remedied to satisfy this list. If at any
time an owner or manager thinks that the inspection requests are excessive or unnecessary
he /she may submit the matter to the Rexburg U.B.C. Board of Appeals for a decision.
The inspector will notify the State of Idaho Electrical Inspector if any electrical
problems exist that are out of the inspector's area of expertise. It is our intent to have
only one inspector represent the City of Rexburg at the time of inspection. The Fire
Department, the Building Department, the Water Department and Wastewater
Department will combine and supply training for one inspector from the Building
Department and one from the Fire Department. The intent is to have two trained
inspectors with one acting as regular and the other as a back -up.
This document is to be put in place following Rexburg City Council approval. All
apartments seeking a new business License from the City of Rexburg shall be inspected
and given 3 months to establish a plan of compliance. The owner shall have another 3
months to perform work, at which time an inspection by the City of Rexburg shall be
called for. License will not be granted until work is completed satisfactorily according to
the plan of compliance, at which time if owner is not compliant, such premise shall be
vacated. All apartment owners in the City of Rexburg not seeking a new business license
will be sent notices to supply the City of Rexburg Clerk with a proposal for compliance
within 18 months of notice. Initial inspections will be scheduled at this time. Owners will
have 3 years from original notice to complete work and have it inspected by the City for
compliance or such premise shall be vacated until made to conform

In Reference to: Apartment Life Safety Issues
Rexburg City Council
12 N Center
Rexburg, ID 83440
Dear Rexburg City Council,
In your deliberations regarding the Life Safety issues for apartments, please consider the following.
Home owners who rent a portion of their home (usually to one family unit) may find some of the
safety requirements very prohibitive and /or un- necessary because of the design of the structure of their
home. For example, a homeowner who rents the basement or 'lower-half' of their home may already have
more than one exit available, at least one side of the rented area with large windows that can serve as
emergency exits, and sufficient safety precautions already in place to meet the recommended safety code if
that area was being used for members of their family. However, the recommended safety code would be
considered violated if occupied by the same number of persons though not members of the owner's
family,
Would that be fair to the homeowner? Should we encourage safety codes that would be an un-
necessary burden to many of the home dwellings where normal occupancy of the home is not exceeded (and
at times not even filled)? -
I encourage good safety measures. I have lived in basements, and homes where safety was not duly
considered. Some of those places would have been a `death -trap' if even a small fire had broken out. No one
should have to live in un -safe dwellings. However, many of the `one home, two family' dwellings are no more
occupied than if only one (larger) family lived there and thus no more un -safe than they should be.
Please do not un -duly penalize the homes where sufficient safety for a regular family exists simply
because they wish to tent otherwise un -used portions of their homes. They provide a much needed service to
this community and I do not believe they pose a serious safety risk so long as they maintain proper safety
practices and do not `over - populate' the available space.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Paul M. LaFollette

OBJECTIVE: TWO, "DIRT INFIELD" SOFTBALL DIAMONDS AT COMMUNITY FIELD
FOR HIGH SCHOOL GIRL'S SOFTBALL TEAMS.
PRO'S: Allow us more home games.
Allow us practice on dirt fields, on which we play ALL away games.
Allow us use of the school's batting cages.
Allow us access to electricity for pitching machines.
Allow us access to restrooms.
Eliminate travel to and from practice (safety of girls)
Allow us a gate to charge admission.
Allow us the possibility of home tournaments.
Allow us to bid on District & State tournaments.
Close proximity to city grounds equipment.
Water hoses already installed.
Allow us storage for our equipment.
Allow us the use of the concession stand for fund raising.
Allow us the prestige of being part of the athletic complex (football field, baseball field)
Move's us closer to compliance with "title nine ".
Allow us a field for summer games and tournaments.
Allow us a field for summer skills camps and seminars.
ALLOW US MORE HOME GAMES (greatly reducing the cost of our program)
CONS:
Little League will have to share dirt infields.
Blowing Dust during high winds. (Minimal)
PROPOSED RECIPE FOR FIELDS: (as per City of Idaho Falls)
1/3 good topsoil. (No charge)
1/3 pumice from Amcor in Idaho Falls. ($11.00 per yard)
1/3 red cinder ground fine from Mountain West Bark in Rexburg. ($11.00 per yard)
Remove grass with sod cutter (from golf course). Till soil thoroughly, adding topsoil if needed. Add 1/2
pumice and turn under with harrows. Add 1/2 red cinder and turn under with harrows. Drag with flat drag.
Add remaining topsoil, add remaining pumice and turn under with harrows, add remaining red cinder, and
turn under with harrows. Drag well with flat drag.
(City of Idaho Falls Park & Recreation Department use's this recipe on all fields in Idaho Falls. They have
very little problem with blowing & maintenance. They have also cut down dramatically the number of
games being "rained out.')
MAINTENANCE:
On game day wet field thoroughly with fire hose, open up with harrows, allow to dry for 20 minutes and
then close with flat drag. Chalk for game.
On rainy days open up with harrows, allow to dry, close with flat drag, and chalk for game

Dear Mayor and City Council,
I am writing in regnrda to the Life Safety Issues which will be discussed
A'- the City Council Meeting tnnight_ T apologize for not writing Sooner.
.ave been struggling with "he ea of Ong at all. I will not be
able to attend the meeting, would �someone Lbe so kind as to address this
letter before your discussion starts. For. some ^reason the last letter I
sent did not reach each member, and I feel it important that everyone
hears the content of thi^ letter_ Thank you_
First, I want to say that we are all on the same team. I honestly think
that the entire community is concerned about safety. However, I, as well
as many others, have great concerns over hnw to achieve this gnal, I feel
it Important that you know a few things.
A large number of apartment owners have an attorney en °}.3iner, to file
law suit the minute the proposed Life Safety Issues are passed. A Rexburg
attorney has convinned them this is the Only way to fight it. With so
,.any Issues valved...._ Disc- rimination (Apartment owners vs. Home
owners), Litigation (some original owners as well as builders are not
even alive at this time), Statute of Limitations going back over 30
years), Retroactive Regr,lat_inns, and conflicting interests of several
�' b (One building a brand new apartment building^ at the
ti�a• i.+ m2i�w2r& �v
present time. Others affiliated with building materials and appliances.
All of whom would benefit from putting small owners out of business or
exten._sivP re,rmndeling and refurhiahing__) This lawyer is positive he can
certain that the ,.att ill b2 ,. C6:l rt for many ye rc.
I have never been in favor of law suits. No one really benefits. (except
the lawyer)
What would thig t_lme_ of hehavinr benefit.. the Cnmmiinity of Rexburg? We
lived in Rexburg for about .,
15 years, and dearly lo, the close knit
community. It's as great city to ai u e u family in. Do. we want Rexburg to
turn into a community wear neighbor is' contenting against neighbor, Lets
work this issue out where everyone can live with it. Granted, it is
imposslble o yl ease everyonel.
I understand that something is needed for the building inspector to use.
Most of the issues in the Current Life Safety .Doomtlent I could live With.
They would be costly, but T could come to terms with it. Everyone is
aware of our situation with `.he egress windows. 11 left the council
meeting two weeks ago, feeling okay with the idea that we could appeal
that particular item with the proposal of heat sensors. When I mentioned
that to others who are concerned, r was laughed at, and told an appeal is
only legal i4 f there is a detail , clause (under the Specific ^f
concern) stating your options. With this in mind, would you be willing to
add ^aY clause to the bottom of item *7 stating something like this:
'St?ouldextreme conditions be present, and ONLY .upon the approval of the
Rexburg City Council, ernative safety features may be acceptable."
I honestly think the Life Safety Issues Document would be a.,.cepted by
all, if a more conservative method of enforcement were used. For example,
if it was stated (as Marsha Sjornn proposed at the last meeting) that
thi- document would be enforced ONLY "PU remodeling or resale W
ex sting apartment building. Other cities have found this to work ::ell,
ixi gradually converting all apartments without causing anger and
contemptment_ Of course, in extreme!,, dangerous situations (bare wires,
hot boiler pipes exposed, etc.) the situations must be rectified
immediately.
Please consider the recommendations of this letter. I have high regard

DearJOAnn and other interested seniors,
The Golf Board met this week acid discussed the request for Madison County Senior
Citizens to receive a discount on Season Passes. Actually we have discussed this topic yearly as
prices are set. At this time we feel that we have addressed the senior citizen need by the punch
card option which other courses do not offer. Realizing that many seniors do not play as much
golf as when younger, we feel that for $200 a senior can play 24 rounds of golf using the punch
card. Also for those who want to play 13 holes at a time, we recommend using the punch card
for 9 holes and then pay the $5.50 difference which results in'saving almost $2.00 for 18 holes. I
realize this is only true at Teton Lakes, but the low cost of playing the Municipal Course still
only equals paying $204 for 24 rounds of golf.
The Board at this point does not want to differentiate between Madison County and Non -
County residents. A large percentage of season passes are sold to uon- county residents and as we
try to keep our passes lower than all the other courses around here, we can't.jeopardize any
revenue coming in.
We appreciate your support of our local courses over the years. If you have any further
thoughts on this issue, please feel free to call me or speak with Duffy.
Sincerely,
l[,,)-.�.QQ�

Dear Ms. Wheeler.
We wish to request that Senior Citizens in Madison County receive
a discount on Season Passes to play golf on Teton Lakes and The
Rexburg Municipal golf courses. Many of us have physical problems
that will not allow us to play as much golf as we did when we were
younger.
At Rigby we find that regular passes for people who do not belong
to their corporation are $400.00, but Seniors can buy a season pass for
$320.00. At Idaho Calls, to play the city courses (Pinecrest, Sage Lakes,.
or Sandcreek) regular passes are $470.00. Senior season passes are
$295.00.
We would appreciate it if you would give some consideration to
this request.

"LET'S MAKE THE WORLD A BEAUTIFUL PLACE"
PTSO 2000 -2001
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE ARE ABOUT
We are the PTSO ( Parent - Teacher - Student- Organization) for
Madison High School. Our purpose is to unite parents, teachers, and
students in efforts that will improve the high school and thereby
improve the community. This year, our overall objective is to work
together towards the beautification of the community as a whole. This
will be accomplished through the combined efforts of parents, students,
teachers, civic and business leaders to (1) beautify the character of each
member of the community and (2) to beautify the physical surroundings
of our homes, schools, and businesses. We want to help make the world
a more beautiful place!
(1) THE BEAUTIFICATION OF CHARACTER. One of the
distinguishing characteristics of a civilized society is that it identifies
and shares values, values designed for the common good of all members
of the society. The character of a community is determined by the
degree to which individual members of that community remain true to
those shared values. To beautify the character of the members of our
community, we will (a) increase individual awareness of our community
values through the "Family Action Value of the Month Program" (see
attached sheet); and (b) by encouraging the teaching of those values in
our homes, our schools, our places of work, and in the community at
large.
As a PTSO, we will encourage teachers to look for ways to
incorporate the values into their teaching, for example, through stories
and quotes from great men and women whose lives exemplified those
values. Students will be encouraged to incorporate the values into their
school and personal activities.
(2) THE BEAUTIFICATION OF PHYSICAL SURROUNDINGS.
The condition and appearance of our external physical surroundings are
a reflection of our inner values. As a PTSO we want to improve the
landscape of Madison High School. We will work to raise enough
money through grants and donations to purchase the necessary materials
and will invite the student body to provide most of the labor. The
beautification of the grounds will serve as a tribute to our community
and a symbol of the values we share. A plan for effective maintenance
will also be developed to ensure the continued beauty of the property.
Additionally, we will invite the entire community to work together
in this beautification effort. Families will be encouraged to beautify their
homes; business leaders will be encouraged to beautify their places of
business; and community leaders will be encouraged to beautify
community properties. Through the efforts of everyone in the
community, Rexburg can become a more beautiful place, a community
whose values are reflected in appearance as well as actions.
Thanks for all you have done and are doing to make the world a
more beautiful place. We welcome any ideas you may have. By working
together we can make a difference. If you have questions, feel free to
contact either Camille Brooks, PTSO President (356 -0522) or Jill
Anderson, PTSO Board Member (656- 0139).
Students of Madison High School are teaming up with their teachers, members of
the business community, civic leaders, and parents for a massive outdoor clean up project
at Madison High School.
The 'Tuesday May 15 s project was spearheaded by Madison high School
PTSO Tres. Camille Brooks and is supported by Madison High School Administration,
members of the PTSO Board, and the Madison School District.
Local nurserymen and other businesses are combining their efforts to donate their
design skills, labor and materials totaling more than $40,000.00 to help beautify the High
School grounds.
The High School PTSO Board hopes that this project will be a catalyst for the
entire community of Rexburg to join with us during the week of May 14'h through May 19'
and to take a look at our homes, neighborhoods, businesses, streets and other schools and
for each of us to do our part to:
WjA MO
If each of us would pick up trash, get rid of weeds, and plant some flowers, think of
how much more beautiful our fine city would become. The city of Rexburg is offering
curbside pickup for your Spring Cleanup items (bags of leaves, yard clippings, and bundled
branches cut in 3 -4 ft. lengths). They will pick up these items on the same day as your
regular garbage pick up day. This service is offered from April 16' through June l' and is
free of charge. Questions call City Hall.
Share this letter with friends and family and encourage them to participate.
The High School PTSO Board Questions call Jill Anderson 656 -0139
We have contacted the Principals of Adams Ele., Kennedy Ele., Lincoln Ele,
Madison Middle School, Madison Jr. High, and Central High School and gave them
each a copy of the one page letter (yellow page) and invited them to join with us
during the week of May 14th -19th and to do what they could on their school grounds
to: (We will be contacting the country schools very soon)
"Help Make the World a Better and More Beautiful Place"
If they all just picked up trash on that day it would be one small step towards
our goal of helping each citizen, young or old, feel a responsibility towards keeping
our community such a beautiful place to live and raise our families. Most principals
reacted very favorably to the idea and plan to do something.
•��x� +rt�xrwx xx�:xx xx�
We also contacted Chief Lynn Archibald and shared with him the idea of his
police officers issuing "Citations of Good Deeds" (see attached green sheet)
throughout the city during that week in May to individuals, families, classes, schools,
church groups, or businesses who are making efforts to pick up, clean up, and
spruce up their property.
He indicated that we have his full support and he would be happy to
encourage positive behavior and actions in our fine community.
We plan to go door to door to the businesses and leave them a letter (yellow
page) and invite them to evaluate their property and join with us during that week
also to make sure that their space has nice `curb appeal'. We want to advertise in the
newspaper and on the radio about the major project taking place at the High School
on the 15' and then invite all residents to really dig in during that week to take a look
at their homes and yards and put in just a little extra effort to make things look great.
We had an idea for sometime in the near future to implement a
"Rexburg City Beautification Award"
This could be awarded to several residences during each month from May -Sept ( ?)
We would print their names and addresses in the newspaper and place a sign in their
yard for all the world to see !!!
We all love to have a pat on our backs don't we ?! ?!

PTSO NEWS /MAY 1 5th CLEAN UP DAY
We have received approval from the School District to landscape portions
of the High School on May 15th. The nurseries in town,: Treehouse Nursery and
Landscape, Merrill Landscape, Lone Pine Nursery & Tree Service, Mountain
Meadows Nursery, Triple A, Spruce It Up, Stone Creek, Picture Perfect
Landscaping, Coates Landscaping Supply, and Williams Forest Nursery have all
graciously offered to help us. Several nurseries have helped design a portion of
the High School and are donating the living items that go into their design. We will
landscape the football field, the front and south sides of the school and the ditch .
bank at the back of the building.
Cleave Bagley from the Soil Conservation District has proposed a plan to
fix up the ditch They will plant $50 shrubs along both sides of the ditch and 75
4 -5 ft. spruce trees with weed mat to make it maintenance free. Half the bushes
planted will bloom in the spring and the other half will be red in the fall. The city
has offered to help prepare the ground with their equipment.
At some point in the future, the city will install a walking/ jogging path
alongside as a part of the Greenbelt plans. For now, it will be cleaned up and
greened up. Mountain West Bark Products Inc. will donate 12 5 yds. of bark,
Edstrom Construction Inc. will donate 39 tons of boulders andslocaltfarmers will
donate 300 yds. of soil. Squires Brick Inc. is helping with materials for a
conversational area that will be built between the High School and the Seminary
building.
The conversational area will be built by Spruce It Up and will be paid for
by the $900.00 earned by the students of the High School this past fall and
$1,000.00 donation from Wal -Mart. The values from the Family Action Council
will be engraved in the seats of the conversational area.
Walters Cement will donate the sand and gravel for cement curbing and
Allen Fullmer will donate his time to pour the 2,200 ft of curbing. He will also put
In place permanent plaques in the areas each nursery designed. These plaques
will be engraved by Rocky Mountain Trophy House with each nursery's name.
The High School PTSO will pay for the cement and 35 flowering crab trees that
will bloom each spring. We are so grateful to all these businesses who have
offered to help and give so much
May 1 5th, 3001 is the big day when the students of Madison High School
will get out of school for half of the day to help clean up the grounds and to help
with the planting of the trees and shrubs. We are asking for volunteers to assist
our students during this project. All the students and adults who help will have
their name and picture put in a Time Capsule which will be buried with the
landscape and opened in $ 5 years to celebrate this historical day in our
community. Flamm Funeral Home is helping with the urn to be used as the capsule
and Idaho Travertine is donating the headstone which will have the theme Let's
Make the World a Better and More Beautiful Place "engraved on it.
There has been some concern that after the completion of this project there
May 1 st through May 7`h
During this period of time each nurserymen can prepare the ground of their
particular area. The dirt and boulders will already have been delivered by April
30`h and so you may take what you need for your area. You may work anytime
during these dates as long as it is completed by May 7th
May 8th.9th.1 Oth
Allen Fullmer will pour 2,200 sq ft. of curbing on these days. That is why
we need you to have your area prepared by the 7`h. We have decided for many
reasons to do the curbing before the big day of May 15`h. This is an awful lot for
one man to do so please be prepared completely so when he shows up he can get
right to it. ...... Allen, please pick up the gravel and sand from Walters yourself.
They are planning on it. Pick up a check from me (Camille) a week beforehand.
May 11th -14th
Th cement curbing will be drying.
May 14" & 15`h
The bark will be delivered May 1 Vh late in the afternoon by David Crapo
and Mountain West Bark. You may then deliver it to your particular area on the
morning of the 15`h while the youth are in school. Also have the living items laid
out and hoses connected for watering (work that out with Nick).The students will
get out of school at 1 2.20. We will feed them lunch in their classrooms and give
them instructions of what outside work they will be doing. They will then go out
as classes to work with their teacher, a civic leader, and a parent to supervise
them. They will be able to work from 1 :00 -3.00 planting bushes, trees and
spreading the bark. We will have the students bring shovels and rakes and the
adults bring wheelbarrows, all marked with their names on them.
At the completion of the project we will all meet at the conversational area
and have a very short ceremony and bury the time capsule. Each individual who is
present on this day will have their name and picture to place inside the capsule. It
will be opened in 2 5 years to celebrate how big and beautiful the trees have
become. Your children and grandchildren will be so proud of what you have given
to the community.

The perimeter fence shall have a consistent design throughout the project and use the same
construction materials for the entire fence. The purpose of the fencing requirement is to buffer
the surrounding residential neighborhoods from the PRD and to buffer the PRD from
surrounding commercial and industrial uses. The Planning Commission may waive the fencing
requirement if the topography is such that the fence does not meet the purpose of the fencing
requirements. If the developer uses sight obscuring materials, the materials are to be painted
with a high grade oil base paint/sealant that resists graffiti. Vinyl fences and chain link fences
with slats do not need to be painted.
G. Landscaping.
1. All land within the PRD not covered by buildings, driveways, sidewalks, structures,
and parking areas, shall be permanently landscaped with trees, shrubs, lawn, or ground

insufficient to properly complete the improvements, the developer shall be personally liable to
complete the improvements required by this Article.
