He said he would like to have a splash dance. On Saturday night about 7:00 P.M. they would shut the pool down to the public, and bring in teenagers from 14 years and older for a splash dance around the pool. They could use the slide and the pool.. KRXK would come in and provide music at the dance. We would sell tickets for this beforehand at $5 a person or $8 a couple. They would keep the music down as low as possible. This idea is to give the young people a chance to come down and see what facilities we have. He would still like to upgrade the facility; he felt that a hot tub would be an important asset. They have been taking in on the. pool about $300 a day. He said he had in his budget about $3000 that they had not used for pool repairs that could be used for buying the hot tub. In the future he would like to put a cover over the pool, possibly using donations. Nile Boyle told him that since the City Council will not allow street dances, he did not feel that we could have an outside dance at the pool; we could get too much static. Sander Larson said he would have to concur with what Nile Boyle said, based on the concerns of the college where they are always asking, and we are telling them no. Mayor Porter said his feelings were that after the first dance we would have a march on City Hall. Nile said we usually have complaints about the loud music from the ~~lerry-go-round. The mayor suggested that they might be able to have one on the 4th of July with the celebration. The council told him that they felt he should try to figure out something besides the dance; and if they bought a hot tub, it would have to be with donated money not with tax money. RE: STREET REPAIRS Mayor Porter handed out to the council a list of street repairs and the cost. The total is $252,765. The budget for these repairs is $100,000. The mayor suggested that we go through the projects and pick the priorities. He suggested that all the council get in the Senior Citizen bus and ride around and see areas that need to be repaired and decide which are the priority areas. The council decided that Bruce Sutherland and the mayor would check out the needed street repairs. RE: RE-ZONING 1 [' The mayor told the council at the last meeting we had a hearing to re-zone some pieces of property (copy attached). We now need to pass an Ordinance. Mary Smith read Ordinance 668.

Farrell Davidson talked to Teton Communications and they suggested putting in a higher radio tower. The person that is in charge of communications is Tom hatthews. What has happened is anybody that wants to put in a radio tower goes ahead and then it runs interference. We have told Teton Communications not to put up any towers unless they get permission from us. Tom Matthews suggested that we use the tower that HUD put up. We could take everything off it and use it for the city. RE: NEW COMPUTER The mayor discussed the new computer. Nile Boyle had visited with three people at the courthouse and they want us off their computer. We need our awn computer and need to proceed to get it. The council asked Richard Horner to oin down some prices and the council would decide at the next meeting.
