It was the improvement on West Main Street, 5th South and Shoshone Ave. The people in the LID had so much time to pay their assessment. The amount of money that was not paid in advance, we will borrow that amount on a ten year note. The people in the district will be assessed. The interest we will charge on these notes is 7 1/2 %. We have been issuing registered bonds, instead of that we will issue promissory notes. Because of the small amount it saves us quite a bit of money. We have to pass an ordinance to allow us to do this.

RE: A GROUP WANTS TO BUY PROPERTY AND GIVE TO THE CITY The mayor said he had been approached during the week by a group, representing a group of people of 12 step organizations who are having trouble finding a place to meet. One problem is a lot of them use tobacco. They have their eye on the Kingdom Hall to meet. Their meetings are quiet and there is a enough parking. They could have meetings going on day or night. The problem is none of the groups can own property. They want to :caise the money to buy the property and give it to the city. The city could make it as part of the parks program. They would take care of the heating. Bruce Sutherland ask about the liability. The mayor said we could put it on our insurance, on the blanket policy. Nile Boyle said we should check it out and if anything is okay he did not see any problem. Nyle Fullmer said we should have the attorney check it out. If it is checked out okay the council had no problem with it. RE: CROSSING GUARD ON 2ND EAST AND 3RD SOUTH Bruce Sutherland said he had visited with Dorthea Young about a week ago about 2nd East and 2nd South. Yesterday when he went up to the Lincoln School he had visited with Jeff Hawks, Principal of Lincoln School, concerned with that intersection especially in the morning. There is about 41 students that cross that street. They would like us to look into putting a 4 way stop at that intersection instead of at 3rd South. He had discussed with Mr Hawks a crossing guard or a crossing sign put there. The mayor said he thought a crossing guard in the morning would be the best. He said he had also received a call from a lady who is concerned with the excessive speed along 1st North from Adams School to the High School. We need to address the safety of the kids. RE: ARROWS PAINTED ON MAIN AND 2ND WEST Nyle Fullmer said he was concerned with the intersection of Main and 2nd West, We need arrows painted and signs designating which lane is for which direction of traffic is suppose to go. A motion was made by Nile Boyle and seconded by Darlene Blackburn to approve the bills. All Aye RE: SELLING OUR OLD RADIO ANTENNA The mayor said there is a Ham Radio Operator that wants to buy our old radio antenna that we. had on the city hall before the explosion. It is just stored down to Idaho Falls at Teton Communications. Nyle Fullmer suggested that we check with the department heads to see if they have any future need for it and if they don't go ahead and sell it. Meeting adjourned. C ~•'~~/ May ohn C.
