We sent them out to three firms ECIPDA, Forsgren Perkins, and Thompson Engineering. The only response is ECIPDA and they would negotiate a cost plus. The mayor recommended that we let them have the administration of the loan. They are doing one for several other counties, and have experience. They also prepared the appli- cation to help us get the loan. A motion was made by Morgan Garner and se- conded by Nile Boyle to let ECIPDA administer the loan. All Aye. RE: EASEMENT THROUGH PROPERTY Mayor Porter said he met with De Loy Ward about the easement through his property. He wants to develop about eight lots as we agreed to about a month ago. The mayor suggested that we pass a resolution saying that on 8 lots he could hook up to the sewer and charge would be just the same as it is for the people in the city in return for his giving us the easement. The water hookup and everything else would be the same as anyone else outside the city. At the end of 7th South at 2nd West there is a strip of land that goes over where the college is but there is no street. John Millar suggested that we gravel approximately a 250 lane to allow those people to go into their pro- perty to develop it. RE: SEWER CHARGES A motion was made by Morgan Garner and seconded by Darlene Blackburn to allow De Loy Ward to hook onto the sewer at the same charge as the people in the city for 8 lots and that the city will. dump and spread gravel for a 250 lane to the property provided he sign the easement within 7 days from today.

RE: Outdoor Dance at Wizard Parking Lot Ron Lindley was at the council to request to have an outdoor dance at the Wizard Parking Lot. He had contacted the owner Gerald Taylor who tole him he would have to contact the city council. They would like to have it on Labor Day Night when the students start arriving in town and start the dance at 9:00 P.M. until 11:30 P.M. They would also like to have it the following night but only until 11:00 P.M. because it is a school night. They would charge admission and get a business lic- ense. There would also be a policeman there to supervise. The council ask him question and discussed the matter. The council told him that they would take it under advisement and make a decision at the 1st meeting in August. RE: Upper Valley Telecable of Idaho Falls Bought Rex T.V. Albert Geannatte employed by Telecommunications from Denver, Colorado. Upper Valley Telecable of Idaho Falls have bought Rex T.V. and Upper Valley Telecable is owned by Telecommunications of Denver, and a company out of Salt Lake City. He was at the meeting to request a transfer of the franchise, and in addition he wanted to like to request some changes in the language of the franchise. He had discussed this with Mary Smith, and provided her with the suggested language changes that they would like to see. He said he would be glad to discuss these changes and answer any questions regarding the prospective transfer of purchase. Mary Smith said she had checked the changes that he proposed and they seem to be more of a housekeeping situation. It would be more to clean it up and bring it more in line with the changes that have been made in the government pertaining to the Cable T.V. She said she could see no problem in the city adopting these changes. It will be necessary to amend the ordinance Mr. Geannatte said they would make no immediate changes to the present operation of the system except to the extent the first goal would be to upgrade the electronics of the system. In the future they would come to the council to discuss the ability to raise rates contigent upon adding addit- ional channels but not deleting possibly adding 4 or 5 new channels, as well as the Disney Channel. That would be in the long range plan of possibly 6 months. The council authorized the city attorney to draw up the amendment to the ordinance. RE: Special Use Permit A Public Hearing was held fora Special Use Permit to allow Mia Peterson at 355 West Main to have a Health Food Store in her home. No one was at the meeting to protest. The council told her she would be restricted to a sign back from the street and limited in size similar to the one of the Diet Center's on West Main. The mayor told her the Special Use Permit would be for her only if she went out of business she would not be able to sell it and let someone else operate the business. All of the neighbors had been contacted and none objected. A motion was made by Darlene Blackburn and seconded by Nile Boyle to approve the Special Use Permit.

Those Voting Aye: Nile Boyle Darlene Blackburn Morgan Garner Glen Pond r a~ Abstained: Sander Larson Those Voting Nay: None RE: BIRCH STREET SPEEDING The residents of Birch Street presented the council with a petition requesting that something be done about the speeding on that street. The mayor had had the police run a traffic survey on that street. Mrs. Jim Meyers acted as the spokesman of the group. There are 43 children on that street, and there is a great deal of traffic going up and down the street at a fast rate of speed. There are a lot of cars park- ed on the street and children run from behind the cars into the street. They request- ed some more stop signs, speed bumps, and reduced speed signs. The police had sug- gested that parking be restricted to one side of the street, but the residents did not feel that would help. RE: TRAFFIC CONCERNS AND STOP SIGNS Mary Smith stated she travels up that street everyday as she drives home. She said she had been rather appalled because of the children being permitted to play in the street because it is dangerous. She had wondered why the parents don't have a re- sponsibility to keep the children out of the street. Mrs. Meyers said she has 8 children and cannot watch her children all the time, and there is no sidewalk on that street for the children to use. Other residents on that street expressed their concern about the traffic. Dr. Mellor suggested that a stop sign be put on Linden and Birch. The council told the people that they would (1) put in a stop sign Linden West onto Birch and one on Birch North onto Linden, (2) put up signs slow and children at play, (3) 20 MPH speed signs, and later see if a speed bump is needed, (4) Pain on street slow. The residents also complained about the restricted vision by the Fer- guson home because of shrubs blocking the view, the mayor said he would have Farrell Davidson trim those shrubs. The council suggested to the group that they go on the LID to have a sidewalk put on that street. RE: PETITIONS AND COSTS FOR THE LID The mayor told the council that he had some petitions and the costs for the LID that the council could take and get signatures on if they wanted to. RE: PLANNING AND ZONNING The mayor gave a list of annexations to the city clerk to give the Planning & Zon- ning to review, and then the council have to publish notices and do the legal pro- cedure. RE: SIGNATURE OF EASEMENT FOR SEWER LINE The mayor told the council that he had finally got De Loy Ward to sign the easement for the sewer line and the contractor would start Monday. RE: PROBLEM WITH WEEDS P~ayor Porter discussed with the council the problem with weeds. The mayor said he thought in the new budget we should get some equipment that would clean up better. About the 1st of June if we had a rig to spray weeds with it would help. Glen Pond suggested that we raise the fee and maybe it would encourage people to clean their own lots up. In some of the vacant lots the neighbors are using them fora duma ground. Even cement trucks clean their trucks out on vacant lots and it makes it hard to mow weeds. The mayor instructed Mary Smith to write Mr. Sifford a letter telling him to clean up his lots or we would clean them up and put it on his taxes. We have contacted him and he says he can't do anything about it. RE: WATERLINE TO NURSING HOME The mayor discussed with the council the waterline to the nursing home. The water does go to a hydrant by the Armory. John Millar and DeLynn suggests that we put a 6 inch line to the corner. The nursing home will pay for that part of the line. From the corner going up toward Ericksons, John Millar thinks we should put in a 10 inch line, and cross the 16" line that feeds the city and then put in a 6" line on the other side of that. The whole project will cost about %50,000. The mayor had talked to Bob Lee and the Seeley who own the rest of the property up there, and they said if we set it up on a LID they would go along with it. The city will have to pay the differ- ence between the 6" line and the 10" line. The council agreed. 1 RE: WELL ON DAVIS PROPERTY They also discussed the well we have on the Davis property. The council decided the city should run a fesiability study on the well to see if the city could use i t. Mayor Porter announced that the council was going to a closed session to discuss a piece of property. A motion was made by Morgan Garner and seconded by Darlene Blackburn to pay the bills. All Aye A motion was made by Glen Pond and seconded by Nile Boyle to adjourn. :> , ~ ` ~~ City C erk, Ros ag Ma hn C.

They would like to have one a week or one a month. They would have a tape and a disc jockey and would like to hold it until 11:00 PM or 12 Midnight. The mayor told them they would have to have a petition taken around the neighborhood to get their okay because it is right next to a residential neighborhood.
