RE: DECLARATION OF IDAHO HUMAN RIGHTS DAY Mayor Boyle issued a proclamation for Martin Luther King Jr. - Idaho Human Rights Day. This has been designated as a holiday for city employees. He stated that we need to promote Human & Civil Rights and treat fairly the minorities. RE: DISCUSSION OF BUYING A NEW GARBAGE TRUCK The mayor stated that we need to buy a new garbage truck. We have been getting some information on a truck that empties containers automatic. In checking with Rigby and Shelly they both like this system. They run the truck with one less man. The containers will cost about $90. Farrell Young ask who would buy them. The mayor said he thought the city would have to buy them. If we saved one man's salary we would pay for the containers. Farrell Davidson said it is much faster and in the cold weather, you don't have a man riding on the back of the truck. One truck would be able to pick up the whole city. We could get a mutual aid agreement with some of the surrounding cities in case our truck breaks down or we could lease a truck. The containers have rollers on so they can be rolled back and forth. They mayor told the council that we need to decide this month. RE: REQUEST FROM THE WILLMORE'S FOR A LIMITED COMMERCIAL USE PERMIT 7:30 A.M. a Public Hearing was held. Berkley and Janet Willmore have requested that they be granted a permit for Limited Commercial use for a single owner beauty parlor in an R-1 zone. The said property is located at 655 Park Street. There wasn't anyone at the meeting to protest. The Willmores were at the meeting to answer any questions. motion was made by Nyle Fullmer and seconded by Bruce Sutherland to grant the Willmores a Limited Commercial Use with the stipulation that there would be no signs on the property and it would maintained as residential property. All Aye RE: DISCUSSION OF USING SAND OR RED CINDERS ON THE ROADS Next on the agenda was sand vs red cinders. Farrell Davidson said they did not have enough sand to finish the year. He had some of the cinders left from last year. They had gone down to Walters and tried to dig some sand out, but it is frozen. The cinders go farther than the sand does. Cinders are easier to clean up and stay on the street better. The council advised that we should use the sand and cinders that we have and then go to cinders if we can't find sand. RE: MOTION PASSED TO REQUIRE A PLAN CHECK OR DRAWN BY AN ENGINEER OR ARCHITECT FOR A BUILDING PERMIT. ~' I The council discussed the Building Permit Requirements. We require that anything above a duplex or a business be required to have an engineer or architect draw the plans. We have discussed having a plan check instead. The mayor had talked to Idaho Falls about doing the plan check. The fee they charge is 65~ of the UBC building permit fee for a plan check. The mayor also stated that we need to require that all permits be bought at the same time. It is a possibility to have Idaho Falls do the plan checks. John Watson said if he did the plan check, some people might think there was a conflict. Bruce Sutherland recommended that we go either or and see how difficult it is to find a plan checker. Farrell Young questioned if they are preapproved by a chain of stores or motels or a previous plan would they have to be checked. Bruce said the chain would have been drawn by an architect. Dean Ricks said they have used the plans for the apartments fifteen times and have only made minor changes. There have been no problems in the past. Farrell Davidson said it was the whole concept not just the individual. The mayor said we have adopted the UBC and need to set our fees with the ones in the UBC. The UBC also requires a plan check. A motion was made by Bruce Sutherland to make an amendment that we require either a plan drawn by an engineer or an architect or have a plan check. The mayor stated that the plan check fee will have to be paid by the contractor. Dean Ricks stated that the city is equipped to check plans. Glen Bean is qualified to check plans. He said that resident buildings should also have plans. The city does require plans for residents. The motion was seconded by Brad Liljenquist. All Aye.
