RE: Parking South of City Hall -- Sunrise Properties
Gentlemen:
The Board of Directors of Sunrise Properties, Inc. has decided to
proceed with a plan to develop or dispose of the property just south
of City Hall, the north half of which has been used by City employees
for parking for well over a year now. The Board feels that .the parking
privileges granted City employees have been adequate consideration
for the easement granted at the Northeast corner of the property.
Accordingly, this property will be barricaded as of midnight, Friday,
March 3, 1972, and no further parking will be permitted. You
should advise your employees accordingly.
Sincerely,
J. Kent Jolley
Executive Secretary

RE : ERRONEOUS REPORT PUBL I SHOD I N 11)AHO FAI_.L.S, POST REG I STEER
Erroneous report from March I, 1972 meeting published in Idaho Falls,
Post Register. The story in the Idaho Falls paper claimed that the
council had criticised the police department severly. Mayor Henry
Shirley said i-'~e facts were extremely distorted and that the article
contained false statements. The resolution, signed by all council
members except Dick Davis, presently out of town, states:
"WHEREAS There appeared in the Post-Register of March 4 an account of
Rexburg City Council meeting of March I with the lead 'Rexburg police
criticized at city council meeting' and
"WHEREAS such account written by an obviously inexperienced and incompetent
correspondent who attended the meeting is entirely erroneous, both in
lead statements and in details and
"WiIEREAS the mayor and city council feel that a grave injustice has been
done by publication of said article both to our police department and
to our council,
"THEREFORE by it resolved that we, the mayor and city council of Rexburg
to hereby affirm that we .are pleased with and proud of the performance
of our police department and do offer them a vote of confidence.
"We especially commend our chief or police, Murray D. Ford, and assistant
chief, Blair Siepert, for the superb leadership they have shown and for
their skill in organizing and training of the officers.
"We feel that we have one of the most efficient police departments in
the state of Idaho."
