RE: NURSING HOME NEED TO HAVE CITY SEWER AND WATER SERVICE Mayor Porter said that afternoon two men had came in the office that are interested in building a Nursing Home in the Rexburg area. It would be a 50 bed and not only a regular nursing home but also an intensive care unit. The eleven acres of property they have is South West of the airport, and is out of the city limits. In order for them to build it they have got to have city sewer and water service. They have agreed to build the line. They want the council to say if they comply with all the city rules and regulations that the city will allow them to hook onto the city sewer and also that we have the capacity for them to hook onto the sewer and water. The mayor had told them they would have to go through the Planning & Zoning. They have to have a letter from the city with with a certificate of need to be sent in with their application on Monday. The mayor said we could not annex that property because there isn't any continuous property around it. He also told them it would cost them 50% more. A motion was made by Nile Boyle and seconded by Morgan Garner. to authorize the mayor to write a letter saying they can hook onto the sewer and water. All Aye RE: SUB DIVISION ORDINANCE The mayor told the council that the Planning Board had been going over the new Sub Division Ordinance and making some changes they will have one more meeting and then they will give it to the council to adopt. RE: UNION PACIFIC WANTS TO CLOSE FREIGHT DEPOT IN REXBURG The mayor told the council that Rexburg is one of the many Freight Depots that Union Pacific is asking the P.U.C. to close in Idaho. They are several cities all over the State of Idaho that they are trying to close. One thing that is bad about closing all the depots on the branch line is once that is done the state P.U.C. no longer has control, it would be up to the ICC. There is a bill in the legislature even though we close these stations that the PUC will still have control over the branch lines. They would like us to give our support on this bill and also write the PUC protesting the closure. Eventually there will probably be some saving to the railroad, at the present time the union contract, states even if they close down the depot in Rexburg they have to keep paying the agent a while until he retires. They will do all business at the depots in Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Nampa, Twin Falls, and Montepelier, they will have a toll. free line to call for your freight. The street going in front of the property and the property all around it belongs to the Union Pacific. The council authorized the mayor to write a letter in protest of closing the depot. RE: FIRE TRUCK LEASE PURCHASE Mayor Porter told the council that the city would be able to take over the fire truck on Friday. We are buying it from the county. The city attorney read a resolution to authorize the need to negotiate with the bank on a lease purchase of a 1977 American La France Fire Truck. We would pay 1/3 of it now, `.. 1/3 next year and 1/3 the following year. (copy on file) We are financing $55,000, with a down payment of $20,000, at an interest rate of 8.25%. A motion was made by Jim Morris and seconded by Nile Boyle to approve the resolution. All Aye RE: PLANS FOR NEW CITY HALL The architect representative was at the meeting to show the plans of the new City Hall building. Mayor Porter told the council he had had a meeting with Clayter Forsgren and Clint Kingsford and they had gone over the problem of the storm drain on Center Street. The doorway of the old building is no lower than any of the doorways anywhere in the city. What happens is the old storm drain is surcharging and coming up at Blocks corner. Clayter said he couldn't understand why it is doing that. They are going to make a study and see what is going on. There is a drain line that starts. in front of the tabernacle and comes down to the Food Center and then crosses over to where the city hall was and then goes from there down into the old storm drain in the middle of the street. They suggested that we get the aquetec and run the line to see if it is plugged, they are going to go where the water is diverted from the old storm sewer into the new one by the bank and see if that line is plugged up so it is all going into the old one instead of the new one. RE: PATCHING STREETS The mayor told the council the city crews are around patching the streets. The council ask the mayor about 4th South, the new street that was put in last fall, is breaking up. The mayor said he had already written them a letter, our warranty is good until July. The council felt that we need to put some presssure on Forsgren Perkins about that street, they need to follow up on it.
