Mayor Porter received 10 or 15 calls from residents that were angry because the show was not on. He called the television station in Idaho Falls; he was advised that the Rexburg station had failed to tell them to change the programming.

They have sumps that have to be pumped out after every rain storm. One of the new employees in the street department pumped the water from the sump into the sanitary sewer.

FDAA has given us funds but we must get bids. RE: PROVIDE POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION TO HUD TRAILER COURT Mayor Porter advised that we are to provide police and fire protection to the HUD trailer court. They are out of the city limits so this creates difficulties. We are only able to send the county fire truck to the court because it is out of the city limits. City Attorney, Mary Smith says the city fire truck can not go out of the city limits to put out a fire. The county Sheriff's Department should do the patrol also as it lies in their jurisdiction. Mayor Porter has suggested to the HUD people that they get a private contractor to take care of their snow removal as we can not go out of the city limits with city equipment.
