D. Hancock Richard Horner A motion was made by Bruce Sutherland and seconded by Darlene Blackburn to approve the minutes. All Aye. RE: APPROVAL OF THE FINAL PLAT FOR DR. CROUCH WITH STIPULATIONS A final plat for Dr Crouch was reviewed by the members of the planning & zoning. John Millar stated that they had a quorum but Chris Mix had to leave but did proxy her vote. The only stipulation that the board had is that the protective covenants be filed with it be attached as an amendment to the Special Use Permit and filed with the plat. Glen Pond said he still has a problem taking all of the traffic out onto 1st South. He recommended that we let the people that work there come in from 1st South and bring the street on 2nd South down in through that other property. Just let the employees feed off onto 1st South and go up to the hospital and put the parking behind the buildings in that area which would limit the traffic in that area. The way it is platted it would not allow that. Nyle Fullmer stated that we are a little late to make a change like that. Jim Long stated that we cannot dictate to that property owner just south of Dr Crouch's property. Glen said he still thought we were making a mistake. The mayor said at the public hearings the people did not want Ash to go through to 2nd South to go through because they would pick up more traffic. There was only one person that wanted it to go through. John Millar stated to change it would mean that we had to start over. We have been through all the hearings and agreed with the plat. Glen Pond said a problem was because the building permit was issued before the plat was signed. Jim Long stated that we had approved the preliminary plat and the building. Jim Long did have a question on the inspection of the building so it was situated just as it is on the plat. A motion was made by Glen Pond and seconded by Nyle Fullmer to approve the final plat for Dr Crouch, with the stipulations recommended by the Planning Board. All Aye. RE: APPROVAL OF THE BEER LICENSES Mayor Boyle read the Beer Licenses for approval. NSA Payless Drug, Rexburg Food Center, Horkleys, Broulims, Circle K, Albertsons, Maverick 1 and 2, K & R Lanes. A motion was made by Darlene Peterson and seconded by Glen Pond to approve the beer licenses. All Aye. RE: DISCUSSION OF THE GARNER PROPERTY DEEDED TO THE CITY The Garner Property was discussed. We could not find a record of it in the minutes back in 1918. We did have it appraised by the county appraiser at $160. The mayor said now we could sign it over to someone or bid it out and sell it. He stated that whoever we sign it over to or sell it to should pay all the legal and publishing fees. Glen Pond said he researched it and found there was to be an exchange of property between the Garners and the city when the gravel pit by Community Park was there, the deeds were to exchanged and the city was to get the property and the Garners was to get their property and after the gravel was all taken out they found the deeds had not been exchanged and there was not the interest on the one side to continue the exchange. J. D. Hancock reported that he had talked to their attorney. Mr Reed said that the Garners have already deeded it to Valley Bank and since the title company will not insure it, that it is Garner's problem. J. D. Hancock had told him that the title is still in the City's name and he said they acknowledged it and the title company acknowledged it and it is Garner's problem. They are not willing to pay the legal and publishing fees. The mayor suggested that we leave it like it is and do nothing right now. The council agreed. RE: REQUEST TO UPDATE THE FIREWORKS ORDINANCE #66. Blair K Siepert was at the meeting to discuss a proposed update on Ordinance #66 reference to fireworks ordinance. We are now running into a situation where we have some newer ideas and smarter kids. They are coming up with some dry ice bombs, pipe bombs and black powder bombs. He proposed that we update this ordinance. These bombs are very dangerous and destructive. They are as destructive as 1/2 stick of dynamite. It is also undetermined as to when they will go off. He said they would like to address those things and leave a lot of the old stuff in it. Porters had sold some books that was on order called "Cook Book for Terrorist". The book tells you how to make all kinds of bombs. Mr Porter no longer carrys or orders this book. Blair would also like to see more emphasis on possession. The mayor said the council would bring it up the first meeting in January for the first reading. RE: DISCUSSION OF THE OFF-STREET PARKING ORDINANCE Mayor Boyle discussed the Off Street Parking Ordinance. Chief Siepert said he was concerned about changing the ordinance to 12:00 Midnight instead of 2:00 A. M. He said when the ordinance was passed a lot of thought went into it. If we go any earlier than 2:00 A. M. we are dealing with private parties, dances and eating places. He did not feel good about changing the ordinance and was oppose to the change. RE: DISCUSSION OF THE FEE FOR IMPOUNDING VEHICLES Chief Siepert discussed impounding vehicles and private impoundment. A lot of the students don't have the money. If you go to a private impoundment from apartment owners, you will find the wrecker service will charge a $50 to $60 impoundment fee they will expect plus $15 a day for impoundment. Blair felt that is too high. Right now the police department has an agreement for a $25 impoundment and charge $1 a day impound but don't always collect the $1 a day. RE: DISCUSSION ON THE NAME FOR THE NEW PARK The mayor gave a progress report on the new park. He said we need to decide on a name for the park. Jim Long suggested Nature Park. We got some figures from the Architect, we are talking about $400,000. A lot could be done by the city and service clubs. A motion was made by Glen Pond and seconded by Bruce Sutherland to let the mayor make a decision on the name. All Aye. RE: THE CITY WILL HELP THE AIRPORT TO PLOW THE APRON AND TAXI WAY Nyle Fullmer ask if the city would help plow the Airport, just the apron and taxi way. The mayor said they would. RE: REPLACING THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS Bruce Sutherland suggested that we need to replace the Christmas decorations. The mayor said he would check with the Chamber about them. RE: APPROVAL OF THE BILLS A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer and seconded by Bruce Sutherland to approve the bills. All Aye. Meeting adjourned. City C erk, Ro Ba ,& -1/6y yG� Mayor 11ife L. Boyle V-7
