All Aye MUTUAL AID FIRE AGREEMENT Rex Larson was at the meeting to talk to the council about the Mutual Aid Fire Agreement. Madison County Fire District has a mutual aidagreemeet with the city of Rexburg. That is the only one at the present time. His concern is if we have another major fire if we will have the help when it is needed. He did call for help from a couple of the other adjoining fire districts when the fire down at the Diet Center happened. They did respond. The Mutual Aid agreements, if we can get them signed with the neighboring districts it would cover us as far as the legal end of it. The ones that the fire department would be interested in getting an agreement signed would be Idaho Falls, Jefferson Center, and South Fremont. The Madison Fire District have those three plus one with Teton Valley and also the City of Rigby. Mary Smith ask if they always left adequate help for when they are out of the district on afire. Rex said with the city and county they do leave enough help with the 18 volunteers. A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer and seconded by Bruce Casper to proceed with the signing of the Mutual Aid Agreement. All Aye MUNICIPAL STREET LIGHTING LEASE PURCHASE PROGRAM Dennis Huffman and Ted Hinckley was at the meeting to present a Municipal Street Lighting Lease/Purchase Program. (pamplet presented to the council, on file) Mr Huffman presented the facts from the book. Richard had found a better interest rate than we can get it through the Power Company. At Idaho First National the interest rate would be 8.05 for 5 years. Richard thought we should go with the full maintenance, Rate schedule 12 is approve by the PUC. They will not change that rate. The amount paid each year for the 5 years would be $25,000. We would have to make one payment in advance as soon as we sign the contract. Richard said depending on how fast you want to pay it off, we could pay it off in 4 years if we used the full $33,000 savings, like we have budgeted now.. We could pay on it for 4 years instead of 5 years. Dennis said we would like to get you on the lease as soon as possible. They have ordered a purchase agreement for the mayor to sign. Then UPL's Vice President signs it. They have a bill of sale made up and closing date when we receive a check from the Gity. We now do not pay power on it we just pay a use fee and that won't change. We have a mortgage release form that takes about 3 months to get if the city wants to go with that. Richard felt that we should move on it as soon as possible. A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer to sign the agreement on the basis contingent upon the review of the mayor, city attorney, and Richard. Glen Pond left the room for the voting. Seconded by Darlene Blackburn. Those Voting Aye: Nyle Fullmer, Bruce Casper, Darlene Blackburn, Abstaining: Glen Pond CAROUSEL RESTORATION Brenda Anderson was at the meeting to clear up a goint about the Carousel restoration. She said the carousel ma}~be down for all next summer. Nile Boyle said we hate to be without it but it needs to ~ t r ''t ~ `,. be rentivated. They felt there would be no major problem. Mrs Anderson said they had had a lot of volunteers. The Sugar City High School are going to have a music review and they said we could have the money from the tickets from one night as a fund raiser. They discussed if the mayor would declare a carousel week. We could have one big week with all kinds of activities for fund raisers. Nile said he was sure that after we got the plans the mayor would sign a proclamation. SECOND EAST PROJECT Nyle Fullmer reported on a Iunch meeting that he, Nile Boyle and the mayor went to. The transportation department trys to tour every road in the state and they were over this way and the mayor got up and described the situation on the 2nd East Project. They told us they had completed the plans and it was completely ready for bid. As soon as they can get a bid out they will start construction in the spring of 1989, and will be completed on Oct 1, 1989. They would complete the entire project at that time including the street light on main and 2nd East. We drove up the 2nd east project up to the pole line road. We appealed to them if they would put the stop light in as soon as possible. The mayor said he did have have word from them and they are thinking on starting quicker on the light than next spring. REQUEST FOR A FOUR-WAY STOP We have a request for a 4 way stop at 2nd East and & 3rd South and one at 3rd South and 3rd East. The council discussed it and decided to turn it over to the traffic committee. STEINER DITCH Nile said he had met with Agretec about the Steiner ditch. There plan they drew up would use the existing pipe, with that 12" pipe. They said even then we would have to put in two more 16" pipe in besides the 12, and a 75 horse motor instead a 7 1/2 motor. That would handle it. The total cost after you got the pumps, would be including the power $31,000 or $33,000. If we put the culvert in under a LId they would be able to pay for it under 10 year. He ask Mary if we could put it under the Lid for the same amount of money but instead of putting in a culvert put in a pump. Mary said as long as it was the same project it would be okay. A motion was made by Glen Pond and seconded by Nyle Fullmer.
