Ed Beck, member of the City Council, made a report that the bids are open on the new fire engine and that all are invited Wednesday night to • hear the binds and possibly a discussion concerning the new fire truck for the City of Rexburg Idaho. Mr. Beck also mentioned that Al Haris doss not believe that the storm .sewer is the answer to the City~s drainage ~iroblem. The main reason for this was the tremendous expense that.`it would cost to pay for such a project in actual working condition. It was decided that a discussion of the storm sewer should be taken by Ed Beek to the City Council not as a resolution but as a recommendation that they ~' should be looked into further and that more time is needed for the Planning Board to give their final answer to the problem of storm sewage, Throughout the discussion there were ideas brought forth. Some of them being-- because of the size of the and the money that would have to be allcacated for such a tremendous project , possibly a cheaper form of sewage disposal or water disposal could be found. There was a discussion brought forth from Mr. Ed Beck concerning the possiblity of a Municipal Band. D. G. Taylor made a motion that the Planning. Board recommend to the City Council that they encourage the organization of a community band, but that it be supported and paid far by community organizations such as Rotary, Lions Jes and womens organizations, along with personal contributions and make it part of city education and recreational programs to build public interest and enthusiasm, This motion was seconded by John L. Clarke and-was passed unanimously. Mr. Fxl Beck would 'therefore take this recommendation to the next City • Council meeting and }rTa~e i"t on the records that the Planning Board desires such an organizations but that no tax money would be used for this municipal band . Mr, H, Jaoobsen and Ralph Parker made a report on the zoning problems ®f the city of Rexb~xrg~ theypresented a map in 4 different colors which divides our city in zones for residential and civic buildings. These zones will be used in the future as guide posts to where homes buildings, and businesses can be built. The map will be passed around during the next 2 weeks to the different members of Planning Board and they will suggest any changes that they feel w®uld be pertinent to such a program. A discussion on the licensing of animals in the city of Rexburg was brought forth, however no definite resolution was voted upon. The members felt that qtr. ~)ohn I,. Clarke being head of the Sanitation and Health Committee would take this into his report, which he feels will be ready within a very short time. Mfr. Ralph Parker brought to our attention that the fire hydrants and water pressure in the City of Rexburg are very insuffieient to meet the pmssible problem that could confr~Cont us in case of afire emergency. It was suggested by Chairr~a.n' Clyde Packer that qtr. Parker look into this problem in the near future and that he propose a plan that could be worked out for larger pipes and more fire hydrants throughout the city. There being no further business to bring before the Planning Board the meeting was adjourned at 1A:45 P.M. • -/' ~'"~/~ Secretary G~
