All A,ye . RE: GROUND BOUGHT FROM GRANT RICKS eve ar rpm ar s is g Company or Earl's Two-l~Jay Radio in Idaho Falls, was at the meeting. They are buying some ground from Grant Ricks just East of the Water Tower. It is in the city limits and is zoned R1. The other uses around it except on the South are similar to what they want to use it for. They would like a variance so they could ;gut up a tower and building to put up some radio equipment, and also for an easement so they could have access to their propertyy. It will be located just east of the Elevated Water Tower. The Planning Board didn't meet but Mr. Earl had talked to Chuck Frost, the chairman. Chuck Frost checked it over and talked to some of the other Planning Board Members and they couldn't see anything wrong with it. Mayor Porter said when we annexed all that property from AMR Corp., he thought everything was zoned R1, but that is an area up there which shouldn't be. The council felt there was no problem. The mayor said we would have to change the zoning before it could be done. Mr. Earl said they wouldn't be doing anything for a couple of months because of the weather.

The Blaine Com~?an~/ have ,iust about got the thing nut together. They think that in a week to 10 days they will be ready to offer a liability insurance policy to all of the cities. The only problem is that we will have to !gay a large premium to start. When they get it all worked out they will send the information to us. When we get the information we will have to call a special meeting to go over it. RE: SNOW REMOVAL GOING SMOOTH r e a e ought the snow removal had been going smooth now that we have both of the graders in operation. The council discussed a problem on the snow being piled on the corners. Sander Larson said he had complaints about some of the hea- vily traveled streets that get plowed more often and the driveways are getting plowed in quite often. They ask if the city could consider plowing the snow in the center and hauling it away. The mayor said that what was happening was when we onl;~ had one snow plow, they would rush and go back again to get it closer to the curb and move it in. The people started thinking that they would just get it shoveled out and the plow would come back again. Now we have the two graders, they will be doing a good job the first time and won't have to come back again. RE: CHRISTMAS BONUS' e mayor o e council that in other years we have given Christmas Bonus' to all full time employees at a rate of $25.00 if they have been here all year or if they started work during the year get $2.00 r~er month from the time they started during the year. Part time employees and people serving on committees we have given tur- keys. He suggested we do the same thing again. A motion was made by Morgan Gar- ner and seconded by Darlene Blackburn to give bonus' and turkeys to employees and committee members. All Aye.

RE: SPECIA EDUCATION PROGRAM AT IdASHINGTON SCHOOL T e ma~lor announce tat on Decem er 18, at 1:00 P.M. at the Washington School Auditorium there would be a program presented by the Special Education. They would like the mayor and as many of the council to attend as possible. RE• TWO ADDITIONS TO CARRIAGE HOUSE AND SUMMERSET The mayor received a letter from Bi`Zly and Myrth Kidd, who own the Carriage House. They are proposing two additions for student housing units that they own the Carriage House and the Summerset. The Carriage House would have 24 additional units and the Summerset would have 14 additional units. She doesn't expect to get this done for a couple of .years. I told her I would give it to the Planning & Zoning. One problem with it is that street that they are on is on the sewer line that we are having all the problems with, is used to capacity and a little more. Before the expansion is made we will have to get the sewer line enlarged. We have an a!~plication for a federal grant to get that done this summer but we are down number 30 on the list, so it ma,y be a couple of years before we get that done. RE: LNEL PARKING Sander Larson asked about the parking of the INEL. There is approximately eight cars parked by Park Street and when there is a snow storm, they have to prow aro~~nd ~t. They arP parked on hoth sides of the s+rePt and around the c~rnpr. Tt i~ a mess nn that ~trQet Thy ma~~or ~ai~ he "ad ~skPd Bair to ohe~k on ~t, ar~d he would ask him ~n the morning to see what he had done.

Morgan Garner suggested that they make an extra pass with the grader by the Depot so they could park there. RE• LIGHTING ON CENTER STREET AND SECOND ~~~~~ Sander Larson said the college as a im' o ina up the impno~per lighting at the intersection of Center Street and Second South.

The~re~ is also improper lighting between "lain Street and 1st South on 1st West, across the street from Rainbow Park. He said he thought we should look at both of those spots and see what we could do. RF• CONTROVERSY ON STOP SIGN ON 1ST SOUTH AND 2ND EAST Sander also told the council that h~ had heard a lot of controversy on the stop sign at 1st South and 2nd East. The council discussed it and some of the coun- cil said they had had as many people say they wanted it to stay there as there have been people wanting it to be moved. Nile Boyle said he thought we should re-establish the safety committee. He said he did not think that stop signs should be used to control speed.
