( list attached ) RE: DEBRIS ON VACANT LOTS Mayor Porter told the council that he and Jim Morris had briven aroung town and noticed that there is a lot of old cars and machinery on residential lots in the city. This distracts to the appearance of the city. He said that he would have the police make a survey and list of these. Then the city could write a letter to the owners or have them impounded if the owners could not he located. Then if the owners did not haul them away the city would and charge the people. RE: MAIL BOX REGULATIONS The Mayor discussed mail box regulations. He said that he had talked to the post office, and they had a rule that in some areas they would not deliver mail if the mail box was not on the curb. In some areas people have put the mailboxes back on the sidewalk making it necessary for the mailman to drive on the sidewalk to deliver the mail. The post office suggested that the city pass an ordinance speci- fying how the mail box should be put in front of the house. Mary Smith was in- structed to draw up the ordinance. RE: NEW FLAG POLE FOR KIWANIS CLUB Nile Boyle said that he had a protest from Mr. & Mrs. Terrel Arnold and Mr. & Mrs. Frank Thompson asking the city to not let the Kiwanis Club put a flad up on the East end of Main Street by their houses.

Porter City Clerk e Bagley MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL Special Work Meeting May 28, 1980 • State of Idaho) County of Madison(SS City of Rexburg) A special work meeting of the City of Rexburg, Madison County, held May 28, 1980, at the City Hall. Present were the following: Mayor: John C. Porter Councilwoman: Darlene Blackburn 31 5�, Councilman: Nile Boyle Norris Reese Morgan Garner Also Present: Rose Bagley, City Clerk Richard Horner, City Treasurer RE: DISCUSSION OF THE VARIOUS PROJECTS Earl Kemp of Forsgren Perkins was present to discuss the various projects. He first discussed the new Sewage Treatment Plant. We presently have four cells at the lagoons. With the new system they would be divided so there would be five cells. The aeration would add oxygen to the system. He discussed the different aeration systems and the difference in the maintenance in each. He recommended the Static Tube System, because of the maintenance and cost. This system would have three 150 horse power motors. They anticipate using only two and have one for a back-up. There would be three buildings one for office, shower, and storage room. The aeration system keeps the sewer mixed and the smell down unless it goes septic. Earl Kemp said that the city would keep spare parts for the motors and other things. It will be built so we could lower any cell at anytime if needed. The Static Tube is $200,000 cheaper, the maintenance is easier, cheaper, and lowest on power demand of any of the other systems. RE: CONTRACT TO DEE ARD AND H & K Earl Kemp told the ocuncil that the contract to Dee Ard and H & K committed all but $200,000 of the Storm Sewer Money. We will not get $70,000 of the money until next year from Ricks College. There is an advantage for the City to bid out that amount right away. He told the council that we need to decide the pri- orities. Mayor Porter ask if the city could buy a sump pump right away with EDA funds. Earl Kemp gave estimates on strom sewers at Ricks Wade, 5th South, lift pump. He also said that something needed to be done with the problem where the canel overflows. RE: PETITIONS ON LID Mayor Porter said that he had petitions on the LID. The only one that he did not have is the one by the Fair Grounds. We need to get the Title Company to get the property discriptions. Earl Kemp said that the streets needing to be done was 4th West, 2nd South from the Canal down 5th West. He ask about building the bridge on 3rd East. The Mayor said that we need to do the streets where people are now living first. Earl ask if they wanted to overlay Main Street to lst East where it is torn up. The council told him that they did. Earl also ask about making a street from 350 South to Millhollow. The council said taht we would have to do the priorities and do the streets that are falling apart and then see if we have enough money before we make other commitments.
