Farrell was wondering if that was supposed to go back to the same place or if we could put it by the flag pole at the end of Main Street or at the Tabernacle. Jim Morris said he would check with Fergusons. RE: COMMUNITY PARKS The mayor read a letter from the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. They had made an inspection of the Community Park. They have given it high marks. There was alot of litter on the sight and in the area of the restroo.ms. Ground ruts should be repaired. They want us to write a letter to see what is being done about that advertising on the fence. (copy attached) RE: DIVIDEND The mayor told the council we had received a check for our quarterly dividend from Utah Power & Light for $23,700. RE: LEGISLATIVE MEETING The mayor reminded the council of the Legislative meeting in Idaho Falls held at the Stardust at 6:30 p.m. He thought as many of the councilman as possible should go. RE: DISTRIBUTION OF BUTTER AND CHEESE Mayor Porter said the Eastern Idaho Services will distribute butter and cheese to low income families on Friday. They wanted us to help. They are going to distribute at the Senior Citizens Center. They had agreed to get volunteers.

C. Porter City Clerk, Ros ag MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING 11/29/83 Those Present: Mayor: John C. Porter Councilman: Sander Larson Nile Boyle Morgan Garner Also Present: Rose Bagley, City Clerk Richard Horner, Treasurer A special Building Committee meeting was held at the City Hall. Mayor Porter said after we had received the bid from Heyrend Construction for $177,000, he had contacted Dick Davis. Heyrend said his bid was on the assumption--that the report that the engineer had given that everything was okay. He wouldn't give a solid bid. Another thing he put the panel board that we would use at $12, and the panel board we had in there was about $25 or $30. Dick Davis went through the basement and checked the wall in the basement which is quite badly damaged. He checked everything. He said that that building could be replaced the way it was for $196,200 if the construction was done during the summer when the cost wasn't so high. He pointed out things that Heyrend Construction had put down that they couldn't do. He said using the rafters like they have now they don't need the bearing wall. Charles Zollinger gave the Mayor a letter stating that they could not save the bearing wall. Mayor Porter said when they meet with Jerry Hanson, the adjustor, he would be inclined if they would agree to settle for $196,200 to settle. That is about $7000 more than they agreed to before. Sander and Morgan felt the same. The mayor said then we could put that money in savings and draw interest and get enough to pay the rent on this building. Sander Larson said after we settle, then we can decide what way to go and take the time we need to decide. The mayor said after talking to Dick Davis, he felt we should go back to the old location and rebuild. Sander Larson said we could rearrange everything in the building without the bearing wall and have a better building. Dick Davis would build everything up to code. He suggested that the one wall in the basement be knocked out and steel beams be put across to make a bigger room. He thought we could use the south wall. He didn't think anything that was torn down was worth keeping. The committee felt that if the adjustor would settle for $196,200, we should settle.
