council meeting. Mayor Porter said he is in favor of the fee and he thought it should all
be drawn up and they should all know about it. If it is right that we are not actually
taking care of the d~,a,monds, they are, then I think we should check on it. He said the
girls turned the $2 per player over to the city and the others couldn't do it. Bruce Suther-
land ask if there was any contract signed last year, Bruce Casper said no but there will be
this year.. Nile Boyle said he didn't think we could go back and collect. He thought that
the football was different. The council decided that Bruce and Richard go ahead with the
new policy but not collect on the old bills.
RE: EAGLE PROJECT
Bruce Casper said he had a boy that wanted to get his Eagle project and ask if he could
replace the boards in the dugouts. The council agreed that he go ahead.
Nile Boyle made a motion to pay the bills seconded by Bruce Casper. All Aye.
RE: SEWER LINE FROM 2ND W TO 3RD W
~~layor Porter said there is a block in Rexburg has no sewer line, from 2nd W to 3rd W, in
the block where American Oil Company and goes through where the Cureton Property is on
3rd West. Those people have agreed to pay their share, and they will have to pay to hook on.
We have a bid on it. Wayne Parkinson was the low bidder at $1860, and the highest bidder
is $4645. We are putting a water line on North 5th West where Beesley's are building a home,
the high bid was $3857 and the low bid was $870. There will be more cost on the sewer line
because we have to get the basement throught that black, and get a survey through there.
Adjournment.

RE: REQUEST FOR VARIANCE TO PUT A ONE OPERATOR BEAUTY SHOP
Sheryl ~~loulton was at the meeting to request a variance to put a one operator beauty
shop, with no signs, no advertising in the home at that address. The zoning is Residential.
The Planning & Zoning reviewed it and made a recommendation that it be approved to be given
a variance. We had the building inspector take a petition around to everyone within
300 feet of the property. Some people weren't home, there weren't any objections. ;nary
Smith said we would have to issue a Special Use Permit and have a special hearing. A motion
was made by Nile Boyle and seconded by Bruce Sutherland that we have a hearing for a
special use permit to allow the beauty shop. All Aye. The hearing would be set for ~1ay

RE: WENDELL WOODHOUSE REQUEST FOR A CATERING SERVICE
Wendell Woodhouse was at the meeting to request setting up a catering service in Rexburg.
His son has a catering service in Idaho Falls, he takes it around to the schools and sells
sandwichs. He said he had talked to Mr. Pederson at the Junior High, and he has no
objection to us selling to the kids. He had also talked to Mr. Hill in the school District
and he said it was okay, as long as we found somplace to park. We coundn't park on school
property. He had not found a place to set up the business. They would set up a little
10 X 12 kitchen which would not be open to the public. We would make the food in the
kitchen and disperse it to the catering truck. It would be an inspected kitchen. The
Mayor told them the only problem he could see was parking on the streets. We would only
be stopped for 20 or 30 minutes. He said they would clean up the wrappers before they
leave the area. In Idaho Falls, they park on the street and sell off the sidewalk. The
~1ayor told him he would have to figure out the parking areas he wanted to use,
and the time and park in a parallel parking place.. Glen Pond told him the kitchen would have
to be set up in a Commercial Zone. He was told that he needed to pick out the spots he
wanted to park and give that information to the city hall before the next council meeting
for approval. The council would check into the ordinance they have in Idaho Falls governing
this type of business.
RE: RESTORING CAROSEL AT PORTER PARK
Pat Burton was at the meeting to represent a group of ladies who are interested in restoring
the carousel. They thought it would be a good Idaho Centennial project. We talked
to Shane Anderson, whose family restored it once before. We would like to restore it
with wooden horses, it possibly will cost $3000 each. The mayor said the reason that
the city bought fiberglass horses, was because the wooden horses got broken so easy.
The mayor told her there is a national carousel organization, and they have this one
listed. There is a salesman that comes up to Anderson Lumber, who is a member of the
national carousel organization. He said they are touring this area this summer and this
would be a stop for them. firs. Burton said she thought if we could involve the whole city
in restoring it there would be a difference, the way it was taken care of. Last year
we completely rebuilt the drive shaft. firs. Burton said they would like to know ~if they
have the city council's support and if there would be a place they could work on the equip-
ment. They need to see what parts are around and get a target price. The mayor told her
we would be glad to .have them do this, and possibl~;~ they could get volunteers to fund it
this summer, they could take z the money for the restoration. The mayor suggested that
they take one horse off at a time. The council said ~,€~ey would give them their support.
RE: BEER LICEfJSE REQUEST

for bottled and canned beer.

RE: PLAfJfJIfJG AfJD ZONING f~1EETING, fJEW ZONIhJG ORDINANCE
The mayor reported on the P Tanning & Zoning meeting. They discussed the problems we had
with the new zoning ordinance, that came out in the public hearings. ,after they discussed
the various problems they decided to take the old ordinance, and take parts out of the
two new ordinances, the Arlo Nelson Ordinance and the Greg Newkirk OrdinancG~ and combine
the three. We need to establish one more commercial zone and a professional zone.
The set V~acks will be the same as in the ordiancne we have now. In the areas where
there is a consensus of everyone wanting a change of the zone, we could make that change
at one hearing. After that if anyone wants a change we will have to go through the
hearing process.
RE: CITY CLEAfJ-UP
The mayor said we have been making an effort to clean up lots around town while we have
some time. Across the street form the 3rd Ward church we have cleaned up that lot nice.
We have been calling people about their lots. We have ahd some requests from people about
a house and trailer house on West 2nd North between 3rd and 4th West. The mayor said he
tried to get in .touch with the owner that day to get him to clean it up, but could not
find him. He would get in touch with him the next day. LJe are going to get tough with
people and amke an effort to get thim to clean their lots up. The mayor told the city
attorney that he would like her to make somekind of a form that lets them know that if
they don't clean them up themselves, or let the city of in and pay them for it, we will
do it and put the costs on the tax roll. We try to get people to comply and a lot of
people do, consistant and any lots that are not in compliance get tough about it.
RE: CITY IPJSURAfJCE CARRIER TELLING EP1PLOYEES fJOT TO LET THEIR FAf~1ILIES RIDE CITY VEHICLES
We had a letter from our Insurance Carrier telling us that the employees cannot have
their families riding in city vehichles. We have made copies of this letter for all
employees. We also have this rule in our city policy and procedure manual.
RE: CONSTITUTIONAL BI-CENTENNIAL
We have been trying to get some programs going for the 100th Anniversary of the State

in the Wallstreet Journal that tells about the things they are doing around the

some additonal money so they will fund additional sewer lines. We have five projects
that need to be improved. He was going to meet with those people Friday at 10:00 A.M.
If it is okay .with the council, if they say they are ready to ~o kith two mope projects,
he would say okay. We still have money in the TEDRO Fund which cna, ve used for sewer
improvement projects, so we will have our share of the money.
RE: PARK STREET DITCH
ruce ut er an reported on the Park Street Ditch. We are getting ready to lay that
pipe all the way aloud clear over to the corner. They have some problems with culvert
that goes under Park Street. It looks like it has collapsed. The engineers are looking
at it to see if they need to tear up the street and put in a new culvert.
The mayor reported that when Farrell came in and talked to him about it, to go the full
distance would cost about $25,000 our share would be $5000 or $6000. He had Farrell
take the engineers down to where the state moved the canal. He thinks that if we put
a concrete box in there and a pump, ~~~e can pump the water from there into the Steiner
ditch at that point, and we can do away with. that old ditch. If they cover the whole
ditch, it would cost each property owner about $1000. Sander Larson talked to the people
and ask them if they would be willing to pay so much a month on their water bill to
cover the cost of the electricity for pumping. It would cost about $10,000 for the
project and pump. Farrell was going to go down and told to Mr. Steiner.
