(.copy attached) l ~~> RE: CHANGES IN BUDGET The mayor said with. the budget that the council had passed there is some changes that he thought would bring in a little more money. The building permits for a minimum has been $5.00 for 25 years, we will raise the minimum permit to $10.00. All the churches, schools and taxing units have not been charged for building permits, but we still have been inspecting them. He suggested that we start charging them 50% of the permit charge. We haven't been charging for parking lots, but we have to go out and inspect them to make sure .the driveways are put in properly. He suggested that we charge a $50.00 inspection for any driveway that is broken or new or any parking lot. The council agreed with the changes. RE: ACCESS DRIVEWAY TO HOSPITAL The council discussed the access driveway to the hospital. They had wanted to put an access driveway through Morgan Drive. They had a meeting with the property owners that afternoon. The property owners along that street and the Garner addition were opposed. The hospital had bought three lots zoned P.1 which zoning would not .allow them to put an access driveway through there. Mayor Porter said that he had talked to Keith Steiner that afternoon and he said they would not go through Morgan Drive. They haven't decided how they were going to do it. The people were very upset about it. Mel Sanford came to the council meeting to express his opposition. He also complimented the mayor and council on their fine work in handling the city problems. RE: LIST OF MAJOR REPAIRS Mayor Porter asked the council to look at the list of major repairs that is in their packets. Farrell made this list up and will try to get these repairs in order of their priority. RE: SIGNING EASEMENT The mayor said he was going to meet with Deloy Ward and get the easement signed. When they get that signed, they will be ready to put the sewer line in. RE: 4TH SOUTH Morgan Garner said he had talked to the college about 4th South. They water the center strip and they also water the street at the same time and it is breaking up the street. They are thinking of taking out the center section. RE: CROSS CONNECTION ORDINANCE The mayor said 4 or 5 years ago we passed a cross connection ordinance. It makes it so if we have to shut off one of the city main lines, it does not drain somebodys sprinkling system back into the city lines. The other night there was a water break in the Garner Addition and they had to turn the water off and it drained a sprinkling system back into the city line with mud and everything. DeLynn proposes to start inspecting all sprinkling systems in the city, to make sure they have the cross connection, and also a vacuum. What he proposes is if he finds one that does not have the cross connection that he will notify them and we will give them 60 days to get it corrected. If they don't we, will do it ourselves and fine them. RE: STORM DRAIN ON MAIN STREET For the last couple of years when we have had a heavy rainfall, the drain down by Blocks and the old city hall fills up. In fact, the whole storm drain on ~1ain Street fills up and surcharges back. The engineers went over the plans on how it was put in. They think it was filled up with dirt and sand and sediment and it needs to be flushed out so they are going to do that before winter. RE: NO PARKING SIGNS On the street on South 1st East and 3rd South for one-half of the street the college wants to put up No Parking signs on about three parking spots on the East across from the Clark Building so it will be safer for the students to cross. The council felt that there was no problem. tt' RE: NEW CITY HALL The mayor said he met with the contractor and the architect and went over all the changes for the new city hall. One of the things the architect brought up was how to determine the color of the drapes and everything. They have people in there office who are trained decorators. The mayor suggested to him that these people make a selection and then we have three people from the council that okay it. The council appointed Darlene Blackburn, Mary Smith, and Rose Bagley to be on the committee. RE: DUMPSTERS Gordon Nelson is complaining because people are parking in front of dumpsters. The mayor will write a letter to all apartment managers. RE: NEW STORM DRAIN The mayor said we are going to put a new .storm drain in down by C & L Body Shop. We have a permit from the State of Idaho to do it. Zollinger is going to put it in. He said they had discussed the drain on the other side of Main. If they can get everyone to go along on the new LID on the curb and gutter, there is a pump that is hooked onto the storm drain by Reese Realty that will work and we will not need to put that one in. RE: NEW CURB PROGRAM The mayor said if we get this new curb program going on West Main, the State Highway Department will come in after the project is done and resurface that street.
