RE: PLUMBING LICENSE Mayor Porter reviewed Ordinance 686, for contractors licence for plumbing. It will require all the plumbing firms that come to Rexburg from out of the city have to be licensed in Rexburg. Mary Smith introduced the ordinance and read it for the first time. Mayor Porter said we would just introduce it tonight and then give the plumbers a chance to review it. If they want any changes made, we can amend it before we pass it. RE: STUDENT PARKING Ordinance on student parking 676. It would provide .7 spaces, which measure a minimum of 9' x 20' for each occupant of a dwelling unit. Mary read Ordinance 685: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PARAGRAPH 6 OF SUBPARAGRAPH DESIGNATED AS "Off-STREET PARKING SPACES REQUIRED" OF ORDINANCE NO. 478, WHICH ORDINANCE IS DESIGNATED AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY OF REXBURG, IDAHO. The mayor says what it does is it provides for .7 spaces, but if the owner rents to students so that the number of cars owned by the students exceeds that, he will have the responsibility to find parking for them, and not just leave them parked around the streets. This makes the owner of the property where the kids are renting responsible. This ordinance will amend Paragraph 6 in Ordinance 476 on student parking. The planning board is working on an off street parking ordinance that will include a lot of other things on parking. They thought if we could amend this and get it going so if someone comes in and wants to build another apartment, their parking will be regulated. A motion was made by Councilman Glen Pond and seconded by Nile Boyle that the rules requiring an ordinance of a general and permanent nature to be read on three occasions be dispensed with and that said ordinance be numbered 685.

AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE SYSTEMATIC INSPECTION OF RENTAL HOUSING;SETTING FORTH THE PURPOSE OF THE ORDINANCE; ESTABLISHING DEFINITION OF TERMS: REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS AND MANNER OF REGISTRATION; TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS; INSPECTION REQUIRED AND THE FREQUENCIES THEREOF: CERTIFICATION OF INSPECTION REQUIRED; INSPECTION PROCEDURE: CERTIFICATE AVAILABILITY;CREATING AND ESTABLISHING HOUSING BOARD OF APPEALS AND THE APPEAL PROCESS; ESTABLISHING INSPECTION FEES; EXEMPTION OF UNITS SUBJECT TO INSPECTION OF OTHER GOVERNMENTAL UNITS; VIOLATION OF PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE DECLARED A MISDEMEANOR AND THE PENALTY THEREFORE, AND PROVIDING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF ORDINANCE. The mayor explained to the council that he and Mary had talked it over with the student housing people and he had talked it over with Gordan Tychsen who will be doing a lot of the inspections. They had changed it so they don't have to be inspected only every two years instead of every one year. If someone complains about something then we go and inspect the apartment. The inspection that we do regularly we won't make a charge for it, but if we get a complaint and we have to go over and make an inspection, and we find a violation, then they will have to pay for the inspection. We will then give them 30 days, 60 days, ar 90 days to get the thing corrected, depending an what the correction is. We have talked about doing it for those apartments over four units. Since we decided that there a lot of basement apartments and they are worse than any others. We did not put any restrictions, any rental unit, we can go in and inspect it. A motion was made by Councilman Nyle Fullmer and seconded Bruce Sutherland that the rules requiring an ordinance of permanent nature to be read three occasions be suspended said ordinance be numbered 684.

Area ~~3- 3rd East between East Main and 2nd South. We decided to eliminate that one on the night we discussed it. Area ~~2- 5th South, last time we decided that we would do 1/2 of it and try to get the rest of it in.

The mayor had got in touch with Jim Long and he is working on a tree planting program that will take place in an arbor day in the spring. We can get trees from the USDA-Soil Conservation Service,USDA-Forest Service, the University of Idaho, and the Idaho Nursery Association. RE: GREEN RIVER ORDINANCE Mayor Porter told the council that the City of Idaho Falls and the City of Pocatello have been in courts defending the Green River Ordinance and lost. In the legal news put out by the Association of Idaho Cities, they suggest that cities change the ordinance, that everyone that goes out calling from home to home has to be licensed. We can in City Hall establish a list of names of people that do not want salesman calling on them at home, and have them mark it on their door. They suggest that we amend the ordinance. They would have to drop in here and get their name on the list. We could put a notice on the water bills. The mayor ask Mary to draw up an ordinance. RE: CONSERVATION MEETING The mayor told the council that they had a meeting in Boise on Conservation. The AIC and Bonneville Power sponsored it. Dave Thibault went over to the meeting. If we we adopt the Conservation ordinance as part of our building code, we can receive $8000 to $15,000 to help up train our people, and contractors. Any house that is built under the conservation plan, the contractor will receive $850 to help with planning. They will come over and put on a seminar. When we get all the information that would be the way to go. We don't have to do all that if we don't want to. There is a Bonneville Power man from Idaho Falls that is coming up here with a sample ordinance for us to look over. Before we do anything we need to have the contractors in and let everyone be aware of what we are doing. A motion was made by Nile Boyle and seconded by Glen Pond to pay the bills.
