RE: .PLANNING & ZONING Glen Pond gave a report on the Planning & Zoning meeting. (copy on file) RE: 2ND EAST PROJECT The mayor said he met with the Highway officials from Rigby and Forsgren Perkins Engineers. They are working out a contract for the engineer on the 2nd East Project. The state pays 90% of it, so they have to review the engineering contract and okay it. They wanted the city to be in on the negotiations. They were wondering if there would be a lot of opposition. He had told them there would be opposition unless we could work out an agreement whereby we could just have no parking on either side instead of widening those two blocks. A lot of the people he had talked to would be willing to go along with that. They said they couldn't see anything wrong with that. They may have to widen it 1 foot on each side; they would check on it with the Bureau of Public Roads. The Bureau of Public Roads didn't like to have a road that comes in and out; they like to have them the same width. They suggested that we go with the same width of a street clear up the street. They pointed out that if there is a lot of objections, the Federal Bureau of Roads would insist on a full environmental investigation and that would take a year. The council discussed that the people on that street had only single driveways and wondered if it would be a mistake to have no parking on that street, especially in the winter and if they had guests visit them where would they park. The highway official agreed to the Flood Control project on 9th South that goes down to Taylor Chevrolet for the city to eventually go ahead with it and run a drain to get rid of the water. They are going to start designing it. He suggested to the engineers that the council could have some informal meetings to try to get it all finalized so when we go to the formal hearing we would not have any hassel. RE: TELEMETERING The Mayor told the council that in the packets there is a report on the telemetering from Franklin Service. Their representative has gone over the whole system and has made a report on what needs to be done to get it working. He had told Forsgren Perkins to tell these people to start the ball rolling and get it working. After the council looks the repair over we will have a special meeting. (copy on file) RE: OLD STORM SEWER On Main Street we have been having trouble with the old storm. sewer. It has been backing up, and after a heavy storm, the water would go into the old se~~rer and fill it up and come up by Blocks and in two or three other places. John Mellar, Farrell, and DeLynn checked each manhole and had a special light to see if there was any blockage. ..They found down in the far end a place where there was an old sewer line that goes through it that is still in use. There has been a buildup of gravel and debris that they think is stopping it. They are going to clean it out. Jim Keller suggested that on the sewer project that has been approved by the State we would try to get this same line on that improvement list. The Mayor had told him to go ahead and try to do it. He thinks we can get this project on our same grant. RE: HOSPITAL SIDEWALK The hospital is ready to go on the sidewalk. Morgan said they wanted to know what we want. The council decided it should go next to the curb. The Mayor said his feeling is if they could continue the sidewalk across the street on the west side of Ash and get all of those people to go clear down to the corner and then turn it there and go to the intersection of 3rd East and Main Street. The council discussed it and talked about getting the people in that area to participate on an LID to put sidewalks in and have the hospital participate. The hospital assured the mayor that if they put the sidewalk on their side, they would also keep the snow off it. RE: ,PRESSURE VALVES ON WATER LINE. The Mayor told the council that during the summer they had some consultatns check all the pressure valves. on the water line. The only one they did not check was the one on Millhollow. They came back Monday to check it and found a 2 X 4 in a 12" water main. It had floated down the pipe and jammed into the valve. They think that was what was causing our water shortage last summer. There was also some pieces of concrete-that had washed down. RE: WATER PRESSURE ON MADISON AVENUE Glen Pond asked the Mayor about the water pressure on Madison Avenue. The Mayor told him that DeLynn Edstrom had checked it and they only have a 3/4" line. To 'Z l/ many houses are on that line. When the first house was built on that street they put a 3/4" line in for their house and then every house after that hooked onto that line. In order to correct it the property owners would have to put in a 2" line, and they would have to stand the cost because they had to get permission from the school to build there and they are the ones that put that line in in the first place. RE: SEWER PROBLEMS ON CORNELL The Mayor said the people on Cornell have been having a lot of sewer problems. There is a line that has no manholes on it. After tracing it down, we found out that when Bill Webster built up there, he took his own line from 2nd South and ran it on up to where he built. As the other houses were built on that street, they hooked onto that line. He did not put any manholes in, so there is no way we can clean it out. This week we have put some manholes in. It will cost about $600 or $700. RE: WATER STUDY The Mayor said the last water study was done in 1972. When the council met about the telemetering. he would like to discuss it. RE: PAYING THE BILLS A motion was made by Sander Larson and seconded by Glen Pond to pay the bills. All Aye. RE: ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Sander Larson and seconded by Glen Pond to adjourn. All Aye.

He had made a survey on Culdesac just off of 3rd West. There are 11 children younger than 12 on that street. He had a petition signed by all the people on that street retiuesting that a sign be put at the entrance limiting the speed on that street because of small children at play. The council felt that this would be a good idea and the mayor said he would instruct Farrell to have the sign put up.
