He wanted to discuss the winter driving conditions on the hill, discussing the problems, consequences, and possible solutions. (copy attached) The varsity scouts vranted to get permission from land- owners to put barrels on corners on their property with sand in them and then the Scouts would sand the intersection. The council felt it was a good idea. They said they wtauld have Farrell get some 30 gallon garbage cans and mark them and fill them with sand and put them on the corner indicated nn the map. RE: ORDINANCES CONCERNING CONDOMINUMS Mayor Porter referred to the Planning and Zoning Minutes. The Planning & Zoning committee are concerned with a condominum ordinance. Mary Smith has gotten the State Law for condominiums, Arlo Nelson gave us a sample Sub Division Ordinance after he had drawn the Comprehensive Plan and there is a condominium section in it. We will get copies of it to all the council and the Planning & Zoning Board and have Mary take this Sub Division ordinance and the present one we have and see if there is anything in the old one we should have, and if everyone agrees to it we can just adopt this one. The condominum section on page 30 of this new ordinance. The council agreed to proceed with changing the ordinance. RE: SEWER PROBLEMS AT REXBURG HEIGHTS The mayor said on Monday morning at 10:30 am the State Environmental Protection Agency, which is a part of the Department of Health, wants to meet with the City Sewer Committee. They want to discuss the sewer problem in Rexburg Heights. The plan has been engineered and they have given their tentative approval to the pro- jects as soon as those people up there and the county set up an LID and get it go- ing. The EPA people want to know how we are going to handle it, the charges we are going to make and when we will have our part done. We have negotiated with DeLoy Ward and have the approval to run the line through his property to hook on our sewer. It looks like now that we won't have to put a lift station in, we might have to go into the Ward property a little farther. RE: BUILDING SUGGESTION Mike Hunter and the president of Monolithic Construction Company was at the meet- ing to make a presentation of the buildings they construct. The building is a dome like construction. These are extremely energy efficient buildings, and are concrete buildings. The building could be built for $34 to $35 a square foot. The mayor told them the community has decided to build back on the lot on Center Street now and the full council will have to decide on it and then decide on the type of building. He told them we would have to contact them later. RE: REBUILDING CITY HALL IN THE OLD LOCATION .~ Mayor Porter read a letter from the committee (copy attached). They recommend to proceed with plans to rebuild on the old location. This recommendation is contin- gent on being able to build within the amount of money available without ioicurring r; `' further debt. Glen Pond questioned if we would be able to use the footings and floor at the old building. Mayor Porter said before we start to build we will test it. The engineers that the insurance company used assured us that it was okay, we did have others that said we couldn't. Morgan Garner said at the hearing that Dick Davis and Charles Zollinger both had said we could use them. Sander Larson told the council as the committee listened to what people said, the people were concerned about accessability and tra- ffic at the building we now occupy. In visiting with the police department, they are looking at the possibility of making it no parking along in front of this building to go along with what they have done all the way down the street. That would make accessability in and out a little bit awkard, as this street down here would take extra traffic there will be more traffic coming off this street in a few years. There were many who thought they would enjoy the features of a little less traffic at the location. A motion was made by Jim Morris and seconded by Darlene Blackburn to adopt the re- commendation made by the committee to rebuild on the old location. Clinton Parkinson ask if he could say something before the motion was voted on. He wanted to sell the Econo-Mart building to the city. He thought the city should consider a bigger building, better parking, more square footage and room for expansion which the Econo-Mart building would offer. Sander Larson said of all the people he had spoken to there wasn't any that wanted to go to that location. Mayor Porter said if we did buy that building it would have to be brought up to code. RE: MOTION MADE ON NEW CITY HALL LOCATION Mayor Porter told the council that the motion had been made and was now before the council for a vote. Those voting aye: Darlene Blackburn, Jim Morris, Sander Larson, Morgan Garner. Abstaining: Glen Pond. Motion carried. Mayor Porter told Clinton Parkinson if the new building cost more than we have money for then we might be talking to him. Mayor Porter told the council after he had gotten the letter from the co- mmittee he had sent out letters to four archi,te:cture firms and ask them to submit a resume and has told them we would go over the proposals and select three of them and have a persc,nal interview. Because there were on1.y four anyway, the mayor thought we could interview all of them. It was decided to meet on Wednesday, February 8 at 7:00 pm for the interviews. A motion was made by Glen Pond and seconded by Sander Larson to approve the bills. All Aye. ~~ City C1 er /~ ~~ ~ ~~~~ /~~ ~ G' Y May ,r MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING February 15, 1984 State of Idaho) County of Madison( City of Rexburg) A meeting of the City Council for the City of Rexburg, Madison County, held February 15, 1984, at the City Hall.

Troop 306 Varsity Scouts Matt, Greene, Representative (356-7151) Problem: Many streets on the Rexburg hill are icy and are not sanded, thereby creating dangerous driving conditions. Ice remains on these streets much longer than on downtown streets. The city has little funds for equipment. and/or manpower to regularly sand these streets. Consequences: 1. At many intersections cars can't stop and either overshoot .the intersection or became stuck in snowbanks. 2. Many residents find it difficult and sometimes .impossible to travel up many of the streets to get to their homes, church, or school, when the streets are blazed with ice. 3. Frequently on hills with a steep decline cars will go out of control even when traveling very slowly and when equipped with studded snowtires. 4. The above stated driving .conditions create a special hazard to pedestrians (school children and adults). 5. Many minor auto accidents occur on these hills and if the problem is_ not corrected major accidents could occur. Possible Solutions: 1. Rexburg City could supply 55 gallon barrels to put at strategic corners and keep these barrels filled with sand. 2. Troop 306 Varsity Scouts would obtain permission from landowners to have these barrels placed on the corners of their property out of the way of snowplows. 3. Varsity Scouts would keep snow off the barrels and would sand the intersections when directed by the Scoutmaster, the City, and local residents. Each Scout would be assigned to a specific location. 4. Neighborhood families would be free to help sand other. parts of the streets as they feel inclined to. 5. This project could be implemented as an experiment on the locations marked on the map and could then be expanded to other locations as residents request and are willing to provide the service. 1 (This suggested project is being submitted to Colgate's Help Young America Campaign.) l~Ja,~v n. wfin ~'. l vn.~e~c ~'~..#~ ~lcoC,C ?exbuu~., 9~v 83440 R~#P.lc .~,tudc~in2 the van,i.v~ op#.ivrc~. a~•cuLab.Le t~"~ e%f~ ha,C.L ~v~, the pa,~.~ ~evenafC mvntlu and .C~.terrin~a. #.v the pub.Ci.c h~.~ng, t.~ ~i,.a the ~.ecvnvnendat.ivn. o~ vun. ev~ai.tt.ee #v ~nviceed ec+ttft pcane. ~v aebui,Cd v2 the v.Lal LocativR, 7h~. ~.pcvnanten.datutft i.~. cven~`_ vr~ bed czbLe .to bu,i..ld w.%~t`hn the cunvun~.`. o~ mvRe~y avai.~ab,Le ,errit)iuect .inccuvwe~ ~ut.wce debt. .9~ the. bt.d~ ~v~ ~cebu~~. a~.e .art. e~cce-aa ~~~ .the tnvrter~ on hand, use u,~vu.Cd .necvFrureend .necvrz~.i..delung the puicchu,3.e v,~ the beci.Gdin~. ure cue nvw ~eeJ~• ' '~'' BID OPENING Garbage Truck & Compactor Starline-Idaho Falls $1000 allowance for old body $17,710 with trade $18,710 without trade for compactor only - Model Leach Santicuriser 20 yd Fruhauf - Boise $19,507 without trade $4008 allowance on old body $15,499 with trade for compactor only - Model Heil 4020 yard Western Road Machinery $17,368 without trade $1800 allowance old body $15,568 with trade Model - Packmore R-120 Smith International Truck Chassie 1984 International 1954 DT 466 Engine $32,197 without trade Model 1794 - 1984 International - 9.0 meter engine $30,797 without trade Tri County Truck Chassie International DT 466 Air Brakes $32,000 $30,350 - Exception to put hydrolic brakes on Smith Chevrolet Chevrolet Truck Chassie C7D042-1984-Tilt hood-50 Gal Fuel Tank- Hydrolic Brakes $28,872 Mayor Porter told the bidders we will have to study the specs and make sure every thing is okay and then we will award the bids.
