D. Hancock, Attorney 1 A motion was made by Glen Pond and seconded by Darlene Petersen to approve the minutes. All Aye RE: SCOUTS SELLING CONCESSIONS AT THE BALL GAMES Kent Hayes representing the Rexburg 1st Ward Scouts was at the meeting to request selling at the games. The mayor read from minutes about regulations stating he would have to sign an agreement at city hall. They have some concessions for pop corn, cotton candy and snow cones that are portable. He requested to take them to the park to sell so they could earn some money. He asked about a vehicle on the street or putting them in the park. He was told he could park at the curb or sell near to the curb. He could not use the power from the park but could get a generator to run the concessions. The mayor told him to come talk to the city clerk and go over the safety rules and sign the agreement. RE: SKATEBOARD RAMP OFF OF RICKS AVENUE Andrew Firth and Kenneth Firth 330 East 4th South to discuss a skate board business off of Ricks Avenue. This item was discussed at Planning & Zoning. Andrew Firth was running the business. Planning & Zoning had discussed that he did not have a business licence and had not gotten a building permit. It is on Dean Birch's property. Andrew said they have 24 people who have signed up memberships to use it for their skate boards. The members, or their parents if they are under age, sign a release form and have it notarized. It is in a business zone. Glen Pond stated we would have the building inspector check to see if a building permit if it is portable was necessary and they would need a business license. RE: APPROVAL FOR THOMPSON RV DISPOSAL TO HOOK ONTO THE SEWER Thompson Rental have requested to put in a RV disposal. He would extend the sewer from High Country Potato. He wanted it to empty the Porta Potties. Now when they come in with a load, we have to go with them down to sewer lagoons to dump. We charge them $10 to dump. De Lynn suggests that if he puts this disposal in, we wouldn't have to mess with it. He would also have other people dumping in to it. The city would monitor it with a manhole. Glen Pond wondered if we keep extending services out, if it would be to the city's advantage to annex them in, because the fee we charge them outside of the city really justifies the services. The sewer line would have to be extended about 30 feet, and they would pay for that many feet. Nyle Fullmer said he felt the same as Glen about annexing and wondered if Gary Olsen at Spuds would be interested in hooking on to the sewer. He also thought we should give them a minimum and a flat rate if they hooked on. The mayor said the only one that comes through the lift station is High Country Potato. We told them when they came in, if anyone else hooked on, they would have to put a measuring device on it. A motion was made by Glen Pond and seconded by Brad Liljenquist to approve Thompson R.V. Disposal to hook onto the sewer. Nyle Fullmer said we need to decide ;' on a different way to charge them. J. D. Hancock said we will have to follow the ordinance. The mayor asked for a vote on the motion. All Aye. `-RE: FAA BUILDING A BUILDING TO CONTROL THE AIRPORT LIGHTS The FAA called and want to build a 6' x 8' cinder block building to control the airport lights. The mayor asked if we would wave the fee for a government entity or would we do it under the airport board. Nyle Fullmer said it was under the government entity. They will have to get a permit and pay for it. RE: DONATION FROM DRUG FUND TO "RIDIN HIGH" FILM The mayor said we have a Drug Protection Fund. Chief Siepert wrote a letter (on file) asking for the council's authorization to donate $1,000 from the Rexburg Police Department drug fund to the Drug Prevention film "Ridin'High". A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer and seconded by Brad Liljenquist to support Chief Siepert's request. All Aye. RE: SOLAR ACCESS & ENERGY MANAGEMENT PARTNERSHIP PROJECT MEETING The mayor discussed a letter we received from the Idaho Department of Water Resources about a meeting on Solar Access and an Energy Management Partnership Project meeting on June 13 and 14. This is part of the Northwest Energy Code. Glen Pond told the council that the Northwest Energy Code is more strict than that of the state. It is something we need to decide if we want to do. There has been money available to home owners through this program, however it is running out. Rose will call and remind everyone. RE: COSTS OF CRESTHAVEN DRAINAGE PROBLEM John Millar had brought in a sheet with estimated costs for the drainage problem, curb & gutter replacement, sidewalk replacement, street reconstruction and geotextile at the Cresthaven Sub Division. (copy on file) He is still of the opinion that the road does not need to be rebuilt. He did talk about a 4" overlay. John was suppose to get cost estimates on that. Brad said there were some more people they wanted to talk to up there and then have a meeting .with the mayor, Brad and John. It was decided the meeting would be June 12, at 7:00 P. M. Rose will send out a notice. RE: STREET DANCE DURING DANCE FESTIVAL The council has a request for a Street Dance during the dance festival. The International Dance Festival Committee wants to have a street dance for the dancers and host families, however everyone is invited. It will be July 25 on Center street, the street will already be blocked with the Westone exhibit. We should set a time on it, the mayor suggested 11:00 P. M. RE: RECYCLING The mayor discussed the recycling. They suggested putting bins in a parking lot down town and in the parking lot by the river. These bins cost $47.00 each. We would probably leave the building there or move it to Upper Valley Industries. RE: DELAY OF AWARDING THE BID FOR THE GARBAGE CONTAINERS The mayor said we did not award the bids for the garbage containers. Farrell had talked to some contractors that used the containers we had chosen that did not say anything good about them. Farrell will get some more information.
