(copy attached) Some Relief Society ladies will paint the foyer of the tabernacle. Terry will do some of the projects. RE: DISCUSSION ON L.I.D. 27 (CRESTHAVEN) Discussion on LID 27. The only part of the project we finished was the storm drainage in Cresthaven. The bid also came in too high on Cornell, so we need to re-bid that part. We also need to do another LID on the north highway out by Odelles, and Wendys. John Millar had told the mayor we could piggyback them on the same LID if they agreed that is the way they wanted to do it and agree to put curb and gutter in in front of their businesses. If they don't agree to do it we would have to go through all the hearings again to set up an LID out there. If we have to go though the legal hearings we would need to get started on it, but if they would agree to do it with the other LID it would go faster. (discussion) ~~ Brad Liljenquist said he talked to two property owners in Cresthaven and Mr Woodland feels like he wants to put in his own curb and gutter. Mr West also wants to put his own curb and gutter in. He had not talked to Jeppesens and Ladles. Brad told Woodlands and Wests, they needed to get it done so we could put the road in this summer. Rich said he had replaced his curb and gutter three times and he feels that the city should have some liability to pay for his new curb and gutter. He claims that the city has been negligent on maintaining the road and the drainage keeps washing under his curb and gutter and it makes him keep replacing his curb and gutter. The mayor stated that a few years ago people would just break the old curb away with a sledge hammer and pour the cement over it and then the people below would get the drainage from up above. If we were negligent it was in letting them do that and put the curb and gutter in wrong. Now if they put their own curb and gutter in, it has to be to the standards set by the engineers. (discussion) They will need to get it done by the middle of May so we can get the road done. The home owners specifications will have to be approved by our city engineer. On Cornell we will 'have John proceed and see what kind of a bid he can get and notify the people. Brad asked about Mr Woodland's complaint that it is the city's liability. The Mayor said in the past the city has not assumed any liability. Nyle said it was not a uniform problem so we couldn't take the liability. Brad said he would tell them we couldn't take any liability. RE: DISCUSSION OF CURB & GUTTER AT 6TH SOUTH OFF OF 5TH WEST Mayor Boyle told the council that there is an area on 6th South off of 5th West, about 2/3 of a block that has two homes on it that do not have any paving or curb and gutter. It is a dead end street. We have a person that wants to build some apartments on that street. They are wondering if we would require them to curb, gutter and pave the street before they got a building permit. Nyle said if we don't make them put it in now we would have to come back and put it in later. The mayor stated that there are two houses on the street that would need to put curb, gutter and pave the street. The people owning these houses are widows and probably cannot afford it. Brad said it is standard procedure to make the developer pay for the curb, gutter and road and didn't think we could make an exception. The mayor asked the council to go look at the road and report back at the next meeting. Brad Liljenquist told the council it is almost positive that we will have to take the effluent and run it out to the North Fork. (discussion) RE: PASSING OF RESOLUTION 92.3 Mayor Boyle read Resolution 92.3 A Resolution Endorsing The "City Property Tax Alternatives Act of 1992 As Currently Proposed by House Bill No. 569 Before The Idaho State House of Representatives Revenue and Taxation Committee, Urging All State Legislators Cast Votes In Support of Said Legislators Cast Votes in Support of Said Legislation and Effective Date."
