DISCUSSION Richard Strodell representing Cable T.V. was at the meeting to discuss and make the council more familiar with Cable T.V. Since Don Ellis had sold his interests in the Cable T.V., it had fallen on Mr. Strodell's shoulders to take over the reins. He brought the council up to date on what is going on in the Cable news and what is happening in Cable. They are going to try to bring in at least two more channels.

They want a temporary permit for one year. A motion was made by Nile Boyle and seconded by Morgan Garner to give them a permit for one year to put the trailer at 265 South 5th West. All Aye. RE: EARL KEMP REPORTS Earl Kemp reported that everything was going great with the projects. He said that President Carters's freeze will have little effect on the Sewer Grant. The money has already been appropriated out of 1979 money, so it should have no effect on it and the President should release it by this fall. It can also be declared a health hazard and money will have to be appropriated for it. RE: USE PRECATUIONS WHEN CITY FILLS IN BASEMENT HOLES Jim Morris ask Mary Smith what precautions needed to be taken if the City fills in basement holes on people's property. She advised that the city needed to get a written statement from the property owner giving them permission to fill in the hole. RE: STREE'T'S BEING TORN UP TO PUT IN NEW STORM SEWERS Earl Kemp also reported that the streets were being torn up all over town for the storm sewers. Work will begin in the next few weeks to erect the elevated water tank and the 1st of July to install new water lines. Bids for the LID Project for curbs and gutters will be let as soon as the necessary paperwork is completed. RE: NEW TURN AROUND AT PROFESSIONAL PLAZA Jim Morris ask Earl Kemp if he had an estimate on the cost to put a change turn around at Professional Plaza. Earl told the council that the contractor will just put the curbing in and the city will put in the top soil, so that will keep the cost down. RE: APPROVAL BY EPA FOR PLANS AND SPECKS ON STORM SEWER Earl Kemp said that the preliminary plans and specks and been approved by EPA for the sewer system and that now they aere getting the final plans and specs ready to send in to EPA. 3�1 RE: DRAINING THE PARKING LOTS Nile Boyle ask Earl Kemp if there would be any problem draining the parking lots into the storm drain. He said there would be no problem. Nile said that as soon as the Title Company was finished with their work, the committee needed to get together and et the adjustments. A discussion on how to allocate the parking for the businesses at Madison Square. RE: SUMP PUMP WITH SWEEPER Jim Morris said that he had talked to another company about a Sump Pump that a street sweeper could be added later to. Earl Kemp said they would have to write the per- formance specs on the machine and call for bids. RE: NEED TO GET A BILL IN TO GET THE SEWER MONEY The Mayor said that he had gotten a call from Mc Clure's office telling him that he is trying to get a bill in so that we can get the sewer money released. RE: GRANT FOR NEW GOLF COURSE CLUB HOUSE Nile Boyle ask Earl Kemp about the grant for the new Golf Course Club House. He said that it did not look good. We are on the top of the lower third of the list, which is not high enough to get any money at the present time. He said that the county was getting their budget ready for the city to go over. The budget that they have set is $91,000 for next year and they anticipate about $43,000 in reven- ues. The balance left to be split by the County and City would be $38,000. The golf play in this area is increasing, so possibly in the future the revenues will increase. Nile Boyle ask that the FAA was going to do about the golf ball hitting the airplane. The Mayor said that if FAA comes in to talk to us then we could get it straightened up. If the planes stay in the regular pattern they are too high to get hit by golf balls. RE: NEW PARK ALMOST READY FOR AUDITORS Jim Morris said that the new park was nearly ready for the auditors. He said that next year the school will have to police the ballgames to keep the litter down. The city had to clean up a lot of litter this spring that was left from ball games. RE: RETENTION POND ON HAROLD NIELSON'S PROPERTY Mayor Porter said that he and John Millar and Earl Kemp had been down to Harold Nielson's on South 4th West. They would like to put a retention pond on his prop- erty. Mr. Nielson said that he would give the city an easement for the retention pond if the city in return would oil his street and he would pay for the curb and gutter. To oil the street it would cost about $ 2400. He will still be able to use his property for pasture. Morgan Garner ask what the advantage would be to oil that street because it was a deadend street. Earl Kemp said that eventually it would go through to 7th South. Mr. Nielson wants to eventually sell the property for lots, and then he will go under a LID and finish the street. Earl Kemp said that it would cost us as much to purchase land for a retaining basin as it would to pave the street for the easement, and still have the finished street. RE: FIREWORKS PERMITS Mayor Porter read fireworks permits for approval for the following: Ken Brown at Albertson's parking lot Darrell Henderson & Samuel Gardner at Henderson Warehouse 160 North 2nd East Skaggs Drug at 125 East 350 North M.H.

Attached to the application was the check for $ 100. The Supreme Court had ordered the City to issue the license. Nile Boyle questioned if he was required to put up a fence. He had received phone calls stateing that Mr. Mickelsen had promised in the court that was held origin- ally held in Rexburg to put up a fence. The city attorney said that since the license was turned down at that time and went to the Supreme Court, he would not have to build the fence. Nile Boyle ask if there was an ordinance requiring a business to put up a fence. Mary Smith said there wasn't.: A motion was made by Darlene Blackburn and seconded by Jim Morris to approve the beer license. Those Voting Aye: Those Voting Nay: RE: PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE CENSUS Morgan Garner Norris Reese Jim Morris Nile Boyle Darlene Blackburn Sander Larson Mayor Porter gave a printout on the preliminary report on the census. He explained it to the council (copy attached). The preliminary report shows a population of 10,451. The last official census in 1970 was 8270, which shows an increase of 26.3%. This count does not include the people that have been missed in the census or any annexations since 1978. The mayor showed a map with the specific areas drawn out and the corresponding count of the houses on the report. The mayor suggested that a count be made by the city of the houses in each area to see if the report was correct. He said that the water department would go around and check the count. Students that live here for 7 months or more can be counted in the Rexburg census rather than their own home town. Many of the students were missed in the census. The census people felt that the census would go up to about 10,900 after they finished it. RE: BOND ELECTION Discussion on the bond election. Pamplets will be ready next week to hand out.

Mayor Porter suggested that an Industrial Park be organized for these businesses. ECIPDA will organize it and secure property or lease property for people that want to come to the area to establish a business. They would also organize a council to preside over the Industrial Park. Some of the businesses that are already there that it would include would be: Roger Brothers, Ralph Anderson Buildings, George Zollinger property, Art Porter, Walters Concrete, and Lousinana Pacific. We would need to get these businesses together and organize it. Earl Kemp said there is money available for a grant for an Industrial Park. Mayor Porter said a group was organized after the sawmill burned, which helped get money to get the sawmill back running again. All that was left of that group is Glen Erickson and Donald Hinckley. A motion was made by Nile Boyle and seconded by Morgan Garner to form a committee to study the Industrial Park. All Aye.

This project will be an urban secondary arterial serving south Rexburg. It will begin at US -20 on the west and terminate at Mill Hollow Road on the east. Three alternatives are being considered. The first alternative is a "do nothing" alternative. No new construction will be undertaken, existing streets will merely continue to function as they presently are with no improvement. Another alternative is to use a Ninth South alignment beginning at US -20 just south of Taylor Chevrolet and going directly eastward to Mill Hollow Road. The:entire highway will be new construction. The last alternative would be an Eleventh -Ninth South alignment starting south of G & R Auto at US -20, curving northeasterly to First West and Ninth South and then following a Ninth South alignment eastward to Mill Hollow Road. Again, the entire highway will be new construction. There will be four lanes, two lanes on each side of a painted median to Second East and two lanes from Second East to Mill Hollow. A bike path, pedestrain way, and utility corridor will also be installed. Right-of-way will be 100 feet wide. Runoff and diversion control structures will be pro- vided in areas required. Only City streets will be allowed to intersect the proposed highway. Plans showing the proposed alternatives, an approved environmental assessment and other pertinent information to the location of this project are available for public inspection and copying at Rexburg City Hall (Clerk's Office), Rexburg, Idaho, and at the office of Forsgren, Perkins and Associates, 350 North 2nd East, Rexburg, Idaho. Individual copies of the environmental assessment can be obtained by interested citizens by writing to the Idaho Division of Highways, P.O. Box f 97, Rigby, Idaho 83442.
