All Aye. RE: BUDGET-PROPERTY TAX BILL Richard Horner presented the budget. He told the council that the overall property tax bill was going to go down $11,500. There is an increase in the states sales tax. About everything is pretty much the same. He then went over the expenditures. As they discussed the Economic Development, the amount had been increased to $15,000. $5,000 of it is the loan that we had given to the dance festival a while ago. They suggested that on the mayors reception that they hold every year, to take care of the expenses they would credit that against the repayment of that $5,000. Money had been put in the Planning & Zoning so we can finish the Zoning Book next year. In the street fund Highway Users fee is going up which will give us an increase. That made it possible budget $143,000 next year in street repairs over and above 2nd East. RE: STREET REPAIRS/DUST Mayor Porter told the council that we now have bids for all those street repairs. It comes to $14,000. The council okayed for them to go ahead. We have had a lot of complaints on dust this summer in alleys and the one area on Third North. The Forest Service have been putting a Chloride solution on all of their campgrounds and it works really good. The people who are doing it are up here now and Farrell has arranged for them to start on Monday doing ours. On the south end of 2nd East we will put the chloride on it to settle the dust. RE: FEMA LOAN Nile Boyle ask about the FEMA Loan. Mayor Porter told him that Mc Clure will be here Monday and they are suppose to have the bill already so we can give it to him. RE: BUDGET-BENEFITS Richard told the council the grand total of the of the budget is $2,897,200. Mayor Porter said another thing we need to do during the year is to put the money in for the sick leave at termination. We will pay when they retire but we haven't the percentage. We will do it sometime during the year before anyone retire. Mayor Porter told the council that on the 401 K plan we took the money that we were saving from Social Security Fund with the 401 K plan and cafeteria plan and used that money as a matching fund for those people who elected to us the 401 K plan. He proposed that we make it a flat 2~ matching. Richard said what we do now is we match 50 cents on the dollar. So an employee would have to put in 4~ and the city would put in Z~ and that is in the budget now. A motion was made by Glen Pond and seconded by Nile Boyle to approve the tentative budget and set a hearing for September 7, All Aye. RE: PUBLIC HEARING FOR ZONE CHANGE /~ ~~~~ Publie Hearing 8:00 P. M. for Zone Change an South end of 4th West by Gaylen Gneiting at 309 South 5th West. The request is to have the zoning changed from R3 to Commercial. It would be on the East side of the street. The mayor told the group that they had circulated a petition in that neighborhood and had a notice in the paper and posted a notice at the old Kingdom Hall. The man who had bought that old Kingdom Hall was in the office and challenged us because he said it was already commercial and he had understood when he bought it that it was commercial, but on our zoning map it is R3. So he told the mayor that he wanted the zoning changed to commercial as well as Mr Gneiting. Glennis Nedrow: She said she lives right across from the property owned by Gneitings. She said she did not want an apartment house going in there and having the zoning changed. Mayor Porter told her they can build an apartment. building without changing the zone. R3 will allow an apartment house. The mayor told her that Mr Gneiting did not tell us what he was going to do. Mrs Nedrow said about 6 weeks ago Mr Brown came around it was on a Sunday morning just as she was leaving for church. He said he had a petition for us to sign. I noticed that about everyone on the street had signed it. I knew that it was R3 and he explained it to me that it was R3 and the petition was for us to sign it to leave it to R3, and to clean it up and clean up the Straton property. So everyone that she knows of was in favor of it. She had gone around to the people on the street and ask them if they wanted it changed to commercial and none of them did and they signed a paper (which she gave the city clerk on file) saying that none of them wanted it changed to commercial. Mayor Porter read the petition. (attached) Mrs Nedrow said that is not what Mr Brown told them. Several of people from that area was at the meeting and she referred to them saying they were under the same impression. Nyle Fullmer ask her if her concern was that Mr Gneiting would put up an apartment and told her he could do that with the zone that is there now. She said that was her concern. Dan Nedrow said that was not the paper that they signed and he was there. He said what ever signature the city had had been copied off from another one because there was no names of any people on that list when she signed it. The mayor told her that her signature was not on the petition. The mayor questioned that if there was another petition that Mr Brown had not turned in. Nile Boyle said Jerome, Sundie, and Scott Barrick had signed it, he ask Jerome how he had understood it. Jerome said he miss interpreted it he thought it was a different piece of property owned by the Chapples. The mayor said we did take a different petition around about 6 weeks ago to change the Chapple property from Commercial. The mayor ask if they would be against changing the Stranton and Kingdom Hall to commercial. Mrs Nedrow said she thought they should leave all that street residential because there is some nice houses and some nice yards down there and they all try to keep them up. She thought we should keep business area in business area and residential in residential. Danny Nedrow said the only eyesore on that street is across the road. He ask if there is anything they could do to stop an apartment complex? The council told him the only thing he could do is change the zoning to Rl but they would have to get the property owner's approval. Danny said if he wants that commercial then something else besides an apartment complex is going in there. Nile Fullmer said he is guessing that he is trying to open up his options. Everything else on that side of the street is already commercial so it shouldn't make that much difference. Danny Nedrow said 3/4 of that street is retired people and no more kids. Opening it up to commercial could open it up to a lot more than that. It is a busy enough street. as it is without people racing up and down the street anymore. The mayor said on the west side of the street is as commercial as you can get it, they have a lot of people working in it. Glennis said it was down on the other side of the canal so it was a little farther away. And we found out about it after it was done. Nyle Fullmer said if it was misrepresented then we need to get another petition circulated. Glen Pond said what he thought is that we just start over with it. If Gneitings want to start over with. it that is the way we need to go, and we need to get someone from the police department to take the petition around. Glen said he thought that Gneitings would withdraw their request. l Virginia Collier said that the Stranton Property had been sold quite awhile ago. Danny Nedrow ask how the business Check Stop could be in Kingdom Hall when it was not zoned for commercial. The mayor said he thought it was commercial. Danny said then he should be shut down. The mayor said yes he should be shut down. Glen Pond said in lieu of what has gone on lets just re-do it if Gneitings want to do it. Jerome Barrick said he didn't know how they could build an apartment complex anyway, because they would not have enough room unless they plan on getting over on his property and that is what they are trying to do. They haven't got a building permit and we don't know what they plan to do. Danny Nedrow ask if there was no way they could stop an apartment in coming in. The mayor said he would have to come to the Planning Board an show what he is going to do and there has to be a certain amount of space according to how many apartments he is going to have. He also has to have off street parking and 2 parking spaces for every apartment and also has to get a building permit. He has to do all those things before he can build. Danny Nedrow said there is a difference between single housing and married housing. He said he does not appreciate them building an apartment complex next to my mother if it is a bunch of boys. Because I am 30 miles away from her, and there are a lot of widows down that street, and there is a lot things going on now days. Jerome Barrick ask about the street that was suppose to go through that property that they have been paying half on the taxes. The mayor told him that street had been abandoned. Each property owner got to take half of it. Jerome said they had put a bridge abutment across the canal. Danny Nedrow said he thought there had to be a permit for that. The mayor said he has a right to put a bridge across the canal but they would have to get permission from the canal company. RE: SMALL PLANE NOISE PROBLEM The council ask the people if the air plane noise from the small planes was bothering them. They all said they did not find them a problem. The mayor went out with John Chapple who is representing the model air plane flyers and we went to several different places (1) a lot the city owns down by the city shop it is good place but they are still in the flight pattern. (2) there is some property east of Walters Concert where 2nd west dead ends on 2nd west. Walters owns that property but they were going to see if they would let them use it. (3) they went up on Rexburg bench and there is a triangle by the reservoir and I think the city owns it, that would be OK. (4) farther up on 14th south on the Erickson road there is some property that is not being farmed, they are going to try to find out who owns it and see if they can use it. They should be able to find a place and move out from where they are. RE: REPLACING WATER LINE ON 3RD EAST The mayor told the council that we are replacing the water line on 3rd East where the Stake Center is. It has a 1 lj2 inch line on one side of the street and it just is not large enough. We are going to replace it with a 6 inch line. The dust retardant is going to be put on Monday. There have been some people that have called up because they are concerned about that chloride if it would kill the vegetation. The people that is spreading it claim it is a fertilizer and does not. kill vegetation. We do have to clean the alleys out so if there is anything planted in the alleys we will take it out. RE: STEINER DITCH The Steiner Ditch was discussed again. RE: SENATOR MCCLURE LUNCHEON FOR FARMERS ON Monday at Smith Park, Sen Mc Clure is having a Brown Bag Lunch for the farmers. Glen Pond said the city crews need to edge along the curb, the weeds are growing up over the curb and it does not look very good.. ~.
