He had been informed that last year there were nearly 200 tickets issued for vehicles parked on the streets after November 1, and he felt that was too many. He suggested more publicity or paid permits. Chief Archibald explained that the ticketing date is posted, is advertised in the local paper, the Ricks College Scroll, it is on the radio, notices are in each packet issued to the college students and that before November 1 there are 3-4,000 warnings issued on vehicles. There was also discussion that by the time the snow falls it is too late to get the vehicles off the street because it is time to plow. Kay made a motion to table this matter until such time that Jason can come up with more information or reasons for delaying the ticketing date. Motion was seconded by Marsha.

Glen made a motion to approve these boundaries, seconded by Kay. All voted aye, none opposed. Life Safety Recommendations which had been presented to the Council were discussed by Val. The need for these recommendations was instigated by the number of older apartments changing hands, the need for new business licenses, inspections for such licenses and the number of life safety issue violations. Val had worked with a committee including the Fire Department personnel, several apartment owners and a real estate agent to come up with these recommendations. There is some flexibility in this document in that if anyone disagrees with the requirements and does not comply within the suggested time period, the matter can be taken before the U.B.C. Board for appeal. Glen made a motion to table this until legal counsel was available, Donna seconded the motion. Discussion before a vote was taken came from some of the apartment owners. Ross Farmer, a member of the committee and an apartment owner suggested that Val attend a meeting to review these recommendations with all the householders, which is tentatively set for October 26, at 7:00 at Greenbrier Apartments. Shawn Branson, manager for the Huntington and Danbury apartments expressed his appreciation to the committee for the work being done. He and his owner support the life safety issues and agrees with items 1 through 11 but feels that the next item giving the owners 3 months to comply is not enough time and would request this be changed to 18 months to coincide with other apartment complexes. It was concluded that Val should meet with the householders, work out any other details which concern the householders and this matter would appear on the Council Agenda again on the first meeting in November for Council review. Glen withdrew his motion to table, Donna withdrew her second. Mayor gave an update on the North Highway project. Communication with Norm Thompson concerning property he owns in the area and the possibility of making 5 lanes on the Salem Highway to provide a turn lane at Cemetery Road is in progress.
