December 11, 195®
Those present were D. G. Taylor, Ralph Parker, H. W. Jacobsen,
John L. C]ra,rke, D. H. Manwaring, C. P. Packer., Richard L. Davis, H. B.
Fitzpatrick, Secretary, and David Benton, Engineer, visiting.
A discussion was started on the skating rink. Mr. Parker informed
the Board that he thought the city could trade some ground somewhere to
Joe Stephens for some of his old property where the old barn was located
and that this property could be made into a parking area, etc., so that
the skaters could park cars off the highway. Several other points were
brought out such as running a stream of water in and out into Alvy
Harris' pond and into the river; this would keep the pond clean in
summer so it could be used for boating, etc.
The subject of the ski hill was brought up. The problems of the
ww.~.nter skating and skiing were discussed. It was suggested that these
problems be taken to the various clubs, Community Chest, schools, etc.
A sugge lion was made to hire an employee to supervise the winter sports
both skating and skiing.
A motion was made by C. P. Packer that we recommend ~he~.ty Council
to hire a winter recreational leader to take charge of the winter recreation
for this year. It was seconded by John L. Clarke and passed unanimously.
The discussion was started on the ditch elimination by the city. Mr.
Parker stated that several men had voiced objections against the elimination •
of the ditches.
Mr. Benton was asked to state his thoughts on what ought to be done
• for Rexburg. He said that in his opinion the first thing that should
be done in Rexburg is to get adequate Law Enforcement for the town. Several
instances of the laxity of the enforcement were pointed out.
Mr. Parker recommended that the Planning Board appoint a committee to
draft a resolution and plan to be presented to the City Council whereby
they can overcome the laxity of the law enforcement. A motion was made
by C. P. Packer that the chairman appoint 'a committee to investigate the
law enforcement pr4~t~lems and formulate a resolution in accordance with
their findings to be submitted to the Planning Board and then to be sub-
witted to the City Council. This motion was seconded by Richard L. Davis
and passed unanimously. The committee appointed was John L. Clarke, Chairman,
with C. P~ Packer and H. W. Jacobsen on the c ommittee
• It was suggested the the Planning Board organize itself so that the
problems could be handled by small committees of Planning Board members
and sugge~ions made to the Planning Board by committees and for the Planning
Board to encourage the Qty Council to give them some of their problems
to work on and to make same suggestions back to the Planning Board. It was,
also, suggested that the members of the Planning Board tell the chairman
what they would like to discuss at the next regular meeting and then he
could prepare an agenda and have the secretary send out the notices and an
agenda for the newt meeting.
All the business having been discussed the meetng_was adjourned.
