Councilman Barton Jensen moved the minutes be approved as corrected. Councilman Glenn Peterson seconded. All Aye RE: PRESTON & TIM PARKINSON TO LEASE CITY WATER .Mayor John C. Porter advised the Council that Preston Parkinson and Tim Parkinson Jr. wish to lease 7 inches of water from the City until the Teton Dam is completed. They have purchased water from the Teton Dam but would not be able to get it for a year or so. The water they would use would come from the South Fork of the Snake River, actually from the Paiidades Reservoir. The water is now just going into the canal as the City is not using it. The Council felt that it would be better to be leasing the water out than wasting it. Councilman Glenn Peterson moved the Mayor be given power to negotiate with them. Councilman Nile Boyle seconded. Lease for 5 yrs. at $150.00 per yr All Aye RE: PLANS FOR A HOME ON JIM SHIRLEY PROPERTY APPROVED Mayor Porter presented to the Council the plans for a home on the Jim Shirley property.

Burbridge of the State Highway Department presented route drawings of the new State Highway from South of Rigby to the Ashton area. He showed the Council the proposed location of the enterchanges to be built. at the South end of Rexburg. Mr. Burbridge suggested combining the 7th South and Archer highway interchanges into one full interchange half way between the two. As they would only be one mile apart, having the two interchanges would make the area so congested. He proposed building with one large interchange one half mile south of 7th South; these new proposed shopping centers would fit in better with this plan. Mr. Burbridge reported that they hoped to have the location approval by the 1st of May, and the plans for Design hearing by the middle of July. When asked a date for the highway to reach Rexburg, Mr. Burbridge said it would be at least 5 years . IRE: BICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE WANTS TO BUY OLD LDS TABERNACLE De Wayne Wilding and John L. Clark, of the Bicentennial Committee, advised the Council that they have been working to obtain the old tabernacle in Rexburg for a museum. The L.D.S. Church may give the tabernacle to the City when they have moved into the new Stake House this summer. They would possible give the City a limited title to the tabernacle as they did the Smith Park, providing the City would own it as long as it was operated as a museum. Mr. Wilding stated that the Historical Society would operate the museum if the City would take care of the grounds etc. The historical Society now has a lot of things that have been given by residents of the area for a museum. He f~;lt there would be a lot of people interested in helping get the Museum started. Mr. Clark asked Mayor Porter to write a letter on behalf of the Council to the effect that they would agree to accept title on the tabernacle and support the museum as they felt it would be a benefit to the City. RE: CITY AUDITOR PRESENTS AUDIT City Auditor, Merrill Rudd, presented the audit report for 1975. He read the audit, explained the different schedules, and answered any questions the Council had. Mr. Rudd suggested that in the budget next year, the Council make provisions for the retirement payment to Judge Clark; this fund is completely spent. He also suggested that the City needed a full and accurate inventory of buildings and equipment throughout all departments. He reminded the Council that some action should be made on the delinquent LID's. Councilman Barton Jensen moved that Mr. Rudd have a list of these old assessments for the Council to rule on at the next meeting on the 16th of April. They would then make the necessary steps to collect them.
