The accrual for the property tax has not yet been done. This will be added on to revenues. RE: NEW STREET SANDER A new street sander has been budgeted for this year. The mayor suggested that Morgan Garner and his committee go with Farrell and Rod to look at the new sander. They have one at the highway shop in Rigby. RE: NEW CITY HALL The mayor reported that the new building is coming along good. He said the contractor is trying to be finished by February 15, 1985. RE: ALLEY NEXT TO CITY HALL There was some discussion about the alley next to the City Flall. The mayor said he would have Farrell put the one way signs back up. RE: NEW TELEPHONE LINE SYSTEM Mayor Porter discussed the new telephone line system from Mountain Bell for the city. The mayor said if we went with this new line system we would save $131.22 each month. Instead of adding a new line to the city hall ;they suggested that we have extensions to the water department, the fire department, police department, and street department. This would keep the three lines in the city hall free. The city now has 10 lines, and if we have the extension the 10 lines should be enough. We have to decide what we are going to do by the end of December. We would use the same telephones that we have now, plus Mountain Bell would run the new lines. They talked about running an extension from the dispatch to the fire department that would take care of the 911 line for emergencies. The mayor feels this would be a good improvement. The council was asked to think about it. -=~ RE: BOUNCING LIGHT Nile asked about the bouncing light on west main. He said it wasn't timed right. The mayor said they are trying to get the man from the state to come and adjust it. RE: SEWER LINE PROBLEM ON 3RD NORTH Mayor Porter talked about the sewer line problem on 3rd North. He said that several years ago an LID sewer line was put in but it wasn't extended far enough to the end of the street. There are some families at the end of the street that are having problems with their septic tanks, so Mrs. Hall came in to see about having the sewer line extended so they could hook on to it. We got a-bid to extend the sewer from Charles Zollinger for $1800. Since these people have been paying a sewer charge, the mayor told them the city would pay half and they could pay half for the sewer line anal to hook onto it. Because of the cold weather Zollinge r wasn't able to start when he planned, so now it will cost about another $200--$100 for the city and $100 for the Halls. The mayor told Mrs. Hall they could pay it off in a year in monthly payments. RE: CHRISTMAS BONUS The Christmas bonus was discussed. The Planning Board and part-time workers will get a turkey, and the regular employees will get a $25 cash bonus or $2.00'for each month of employment. RE: UNION PACIFIC The mayor talked about Union Pacific wanting to close down their freight office in Rexburg. There was discussion about what to do with the building and the property. There will be hearings concerning this in Blackfoot on December 18, February 27, and in April and August.
