We serve the citizens by striving to understand their needs and by responding with quality work. January 22, 2003 7:30 P.M. Pledge to the Flag The State of the City Address: - Mayor Bruce Sutherland State of the City Report 2003 Dear Friends, Well I am sure that I don't need to remind anyone in our good Community of all the changes and challenges that we have faced this last year! However, I feel that it's good to pause and review what our City has been doing in 2002. I hope that this information will provide you with a good overview of the various City Departments. Before I get started I want to visit a moment with you a bit before I make my official report. I mentioned last year that I learned quite a bit. Well, this year I came to the realization that I have a great deal more to learn. The City is growing like never before. We had a twelve fold increase in building permits in 2002 over an average year. That alone is a staggering statistic. Along with all this growth, there have been many changes that our community has faced. There have been many difficult zoning issues that the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission have had to on the City agenda. It has not been easy and my hat is off to both the City Council Members and the hard working folks on the Planning and Zoning Commission. I have come to understand even more clearly than in any of the 17 years I have been serving in City Government, that the decisions we make today must consider more than the moment or what seems to be a good idea to solve the present problems. Our vision must be such that in the years ahead we can look back with satisfaction and not regret. This is not an easy challenge for sure. However, I believe that our good City is up to the challenge. That is just one of the many reasons that I feel our community is second to none. I feel so privileged to serve you. Rexburg is the greatest!! I love our Town with all my heart and am so glad I live here. Now on with the 2002 City report: 1. STREETS: • A major street project during 2002 was the reconstruction of one block of 3`s North, one block of North 2"n West, and two blocks of West 2' North adjacent to the railroad tracks. These road were completely reconstructed to replace roads that had reached the end of there useful life. • Rolling Hills Drive was also reconstructed from Shoshone to 4`h East. • City wide LID's replaced areas of curb, gutter, and sidewalk along with the addition of new sidewalks throughout the City. • A major accomplishment was the installation of an electrical and watering system along Main Street to provide power for new street lights, power for the overhead lighting, and empty conduit for possible future fiber optic lines. This project included the installation of a water line to irrigate the trees and Promise Organization. Megan thanked the Community for supporting the youth.

The whole development will have a 3.8 acre park that connects to a green way for the Community that will be turned over to the City of Rexburg for maintenance.

The lack of ground water this year makes it a good year to do the project. It is being bid in schedules to allow the City to award sections of the proposed project based on the outcome of the proposed annexation of the areas on the West side of the City. Highway Project 33 — H&K Contractors got the bid for approximately $1.5 million. H&K will mill off 2/10 of afoot of asphalt and then patch areas that need repair. They will resurface the street with 2/10 of a foot of asphalt. From the court house to the railroad tracks on 2"d East, they will mill off 2.5 inches and grind up remaining asphalt and overlay with asphalt. The work is primarily done on weekends and at night on the Main Street portion. The 2"d East section will be done in such a way as not to hinder the business. The City will conference with the contractor in March. Traffic Controls will be replace with camera systems on Main Street at 5h West, 2"d East, Wal-Mart Intersection and the Highway 33 tum off. They will be updated to have camera systems. The State will install a conduit the length of the project to inter -connect the signals to help move traffic through town. John asked if the Council would like a feasibility study done to install a fiber optics cable with the State signal conduit. This would enable fiber optics to go through town without disturbing the streets.
