RE: THE MAYOR ANNOUNCED PLANS FOR THE OPEN HOUSE The Mayor announced that two weeks from tonight on March 20, at 6:30 P.M. would be the open house. City Council meeting on that day would be changed to 7:30 A.M. RE: MAYOR DISCUSSED THE WATER LINE EXTENSION The Mayor discussed the water line extension. After the flood we had what we called a North Rexburg Water project. We put in a 8" water line across the river, so far we have two businesses that have hooked onto that line. They have run their line at an angle over to where the city line ends. Now there is another business, Wendy's going in out there and possibly another one going in that area. We have enough pipe to extend the line, that we took out of the ground from another project. He suggested that the city go ahead and extend that line. We could charge then what it would have cost them fora small line to go over and hook onto our line if we hadn't extended it. A motion was made by Morgan Garner and seconded by Darlene Blackburn to extend the water line out to the American Potato Road. All Aye. RE: AGREEMENT WITH IDAHO TRANSPORTATION TO HAVE BRIDGES INSPECTED We have a letter from the Idaho Transportation Department. Every four years we have to enter into an agreement with them to have our bridges inspected. The four years is up in 1985 and they have sent another agreement for us to sign. They enter into an agreement with an engineering firm in Idaho to go all over the state inspecting bridges. Our cost is 10% and they pay 90%. They will make a report to us and they will pay part of the cost for repair if they need repaired. A motion was made by Jim Morris and seconded by Morgan Garner that we enter into an agreement with the State Transportation Department fora bridge inspection. All Aye. RE: REPLACING CURB AND GUTTER The Mayor discussed that we are trying to get people to replace curb and gutter where they have old style curbs or if they are broken. Ken Benfield came in the office and he wants to take a petition to the property owners along Millhollow Road to get them put on the LID to have curb, gutter and sidewalks put in. ~, He also asked if the city would plant grass in that triangle where Millhollow and Shoshone meet, he would volunteer to keep it watered and mowed. He also asked about getting speed bumps in on that road that we had talked about in a previous council meeting. The Mayor suggested that we put in rumble strips instead, the council agreed. RE: PLANNING AND ZONING WANT ZONING MAP UPDATED The Mayor told the council that the Planning and Zoning want to get the Zoning Map updated, and we are in the process of getting all the information to Forsgren Perkins to do that. Glen Pond said that the reason they need that is to help them when people come in about zoning questions and also to help them while they are up- dating the zoning ordinance. The County Assessor has found some spots in the city that we thought was in the city that are not, they were left out. There is a spot in back of Tri County Equipment that was left out of the Annexation Ordinance. It makes it difficult for the County Assessor to assess property taxes. There is also a area across from Ruth and Lyle Smith's that needs to be annexed. The assessor wants the trailor court out by American Potato to be annexed but they don't want to be in the city limits at present there is no need. RE: SCOUT SERVICE PROJECTS DISCUSSED The Scouts asked the Mayor what service projects they could do. We told them to contact the Public Works Director this spring and he would find soma things for them to do in the parks. RE: APPROVAL OF BILLS AND ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Jim Morris and seconded by Nile Boyle to approve the bills. All Aye. A motion was made by Darlene Blackburn and seconded by Morgan Garner to adjourn. All Aye. • ~d-~ Ma r, ohn C.
