taking a stop sign because someone could get killed in an accident because they did
not know they needed to stop. The council thanked them for coming in.
RE• PARKING AT GOLF COURSE DURING SUMMER
Jim Morris told the council that he thought there might be a problem with the cars from
INEL parking at the golf course in the summer. They have 12 to 14 cars and that would
be too many. The mayor said there is also another area in Rexburg by the Third Ward
Church on 3rd West. The people over this have been complaining about them parking over
there and the snow plows not being able to plow the snow. The council felt that the
Railroad parking lot would be the best. The mayor said he would talk to Blair and
have him talk to the INEL people. The council discussed Liability Insurance.

They discussed the 4 way stop by the pumphouse. The mayor said he uses it everyday and
didn't see any problem, people can stop and start okay. He said he had observed at the
4 way stop signs, we don't have any accidents at those corners. Morgan Garner suggest-
ed that we leave it there for a year and see what it does.
The council felt the street department was doing a good job urith the sanding of the
streets, and discussed the snow removal.
RE• MODIFIED FAIR LABOR STANDARD ACT_
The mayor told the council that the Congress had modified. the Fair Labor Standard Act
and the president had signed the bill. This modification makes so we can use comp
time and could accumulate it. The council discussed it and felt the program is work-
ing well and we should leave it like it is for the present time. The mayor said the
only one that probably might have overtime would be the one on the sanding truck or
maybe those on snow removal.
The council discussed getting all the police
of the day.
