We received a letter from the state telling us that every- thing had been approved, and we were to notify the engineers to preceed with the planning and the design. Since then Le Roy Meyer of the District Office in Rigby met with the mayor last Thursday and said they had completed the traffic count at the intersection and main and 2nd East by the Courthouse and they had determined and placed at that intersection. In the letter he stated that the problem is how to finance the signal. He ask if the mayor and city council would consider using 95% Urban funds to finance the signal, the remaining 5% would be split 50-50 with the state since 2 legs of the intersection are City and 2 legs are State. This would put the city in more of a deficit with urban funds when the 2nd East Street project is built but it would get the signal funded and installed. They would try to attach the signal to the 2nd East Street project. Estimated cost of the signal and related work is $30,000. The State would design the signal part of the project. The mayor said it would be 1938 before we could have the light installed, and we could have this as one of the first parts of the project, so we would get that done early in the spring. A motion was made by Nile Boyle and seconded by Bruce Casper to concur in the proposal and the signal lights be a part of the 2nd East Project. All Aye. TERRY CARDWELL WANTS TO GET A BUSINESS LICEPJSE The ilayor told the council that there is a fellow, Terry Cardwell, from Hibbard that wants to get a business license to start delivering ice cream around the city with a pony drawn cart. He would go around like the snow cone truck. The council felt that there wasn't a problem, but the safety committee should review it. Bruce Sutherland, councilman over the safety committee said he did not see any problem with it as long as he pulls over the curb to stop. They should show us some liability insurance and clean up after the pony. With this stipulations the council approved the license. COPIPLAINTS ABOUT GARBAGE The mayor said we have had some complaints, after the garbage cans that have been emptied on the garbage route, we would like the people to go out and bring the cans into the back of the house, if they leave them out on the curb it is unsightly. Sometimes people leave them out for three or four days and the wind blows them over and it is unsightly. The mayor said we should make an effort after the garbage is emptied, they need to be brought back in. 1 i RE: UPDATE IN THE FIRE CODE, BUILDING CODE, AND ELECTRICAL CODE Mayor Porter said there has been un update in the Fire Code, Building Code, and Electrical Code.
