RE: REQUEST NO GARBAGE SERVICE
Deloris Birch was at the meeting, she told the council they owned the building where
the old Walker Cafe use to be, the business that was in the building has moved out.
Her daughter lives in .the apartment in the basement and there is a Pawn Shop upstairs.
They do not have any garbage, what. garbage her .daughter has they haul away. They
wanted to be exempt from paying garbage. The council told her the ordinance made it
manditory for everyone to have and pay for garbage service. They did tell her that
they would charge her for a residential rate only.
RE: BUD RHEES FROM UTAH POWER & LIGHT TALKS ABOUT FRANCHISE WITH THE CITY
1
Bud Rhees came to the meeting to discuss the Utah Power & Light Franchise. Mayor Porter
told the council that in their packets was a copy of the present franchise which was
dated 50 years ago. Bud Reese told the .council that the franchise gives the Utah Power
& Light the right away to be on city streets and alleys, existing and future. He said
it was time they needed to go to work on the new franchise. Mayor Porter read .the
Franchise Ordinance Regulations (copy attahced). Nile Boyle ask about the time limit
on it. Mr. Rhees said as soon as the ordinance was .passed .they would. put it into
effect, they would not wait until the summer to do it. Nile Boyle was concerned as to
what effect the Homestead Act would have on the local government. Mayor Porter s<~i.d
it would not have any effect, it effects the tax on residential property and puts it on
business property. Mayor Porter siad he and Mr. Rhees had discussed this Franchis and
1% would bring in about $3500 per month, or 2% would bring in $7000 per month. Bud
Rhees gave the council a copy of cities in Utah .that are involved in the franchise
tax and the amounts they receive. He said we don't have any cities in Idaho that pay
franchise tax to. Mr. Rhees said one thing we need to be aware of if you decide you are
going to go with a franchise tax is they had been told that Idaho Power is very concerned
about what we do in Rexburg and might challenge it in the courts. He said he understood
that there are some cities in Northern Idho that are charging a franchise tax under
Washington Power.Mayor Porter said he knew that Idaho Power is having a problem with
Boise, but actually all the right-a-ways in Boise are owned by the State Highway
District, they are trying to get Idaho Power to pay a franchise tax. Mr. Reese said
the Legislature in Utah put a lid on it and said the maximum amount that could be
charged was 6% Franchise Tax. He said in Utah the ordinance read so they can adjust the
tax each year. The mayor said he would like to make a deal on the meter charges; down
on the yellow flashing light by the school, every year for the last 10 years it had been
50 kil, and it costs us 39G or 40~ a kil. because of the meter charges. Out on the
highway the state has somekind of a flat charge. .The intersection signal lights cost
us 15~ a kil, but the amount used is stationary every month, in the parking lots they put
an extra meter on, in the parks there is several meters and meter charges that could
be combined. Mr. Rhees said there would be costs involved in order to combine them
under one meter. Jim Morris suggested that the council make a list of things they want to
talk about on the Franchise with the Power Company and then meet with them.. Nile Boyle
said he thought the council needed to get somemore information on it and think about it
for a month. The mayor felt we needed to get it settled so we could get it going by
the first of the year. Mr. Reese said if the city does put the franchise on they would

RE: REPORT ON IDAHO CITIES LEGISLATIVE MEETING
Mayor Porter reported on the Idaho .Cities Legislative meeting he attended.. .They are
going to try to get the .legislature to pass a Local .Option Tax, also to.support an
increase inthe sales tax with the increase going 50% to the city and 50% to the county.
The present division of the sales tax is unfare to the cities and counties, the schools
get a major portion of it. They are going to appoint a commettee to study the
Unemployment Insurance Program. There is also a problem with the Volunteer Fire Fighters
under the State Insurance Fund. The State Insurance Fund refund for this year will be
more than it was last year. They are going to try to change the bid limit to $10,000
instead of $50:00. They are going to try to get a bill to create a fund to buy LID
Bonds in case we can`t sell the bonds, it would be a Bond Pool. At the present time now
we have to pay for the police to go to the Post school, what they want to do is have
the court place a $3.00 surcharge on the court costs that would go into a fund to pay for
the police training.

Commercial Area, they would like to keep it there. Nile Boyle said he saw no problem
with it because it is consistant with the other recommendations. Morgan Garner said.
