All Aye RE: AGREEMENT WITH UTAH POWER & LIGHT FOR POWER TO NEW WELL NORTH OF TOWN Mayor Boyle read an agreement for a power agreement with Utah Power and Light for power to the new well north of the city. There has to be a contract on demand which is $4,179 per year. Glen Pond declared a conflict of interest, he is an employee of the Utah Power and Light.

All Aye RE: IDAHO HERITAGE TRUST GRANT FOR THE TABERNACLE Idaho Heritage Trust has given a grant of $1000 for the Tabernacle Civic Center for maintenance, we need to fix up all the windows. It is a matching grant, which we can do the match with $1000 of repairs. RE: LETTER FROM SOME CITIZENS AGAINST 1~ INITIATIVE We have a letter from the citizens against the 1~ initiative. They recommend that we get involved and send a letter to all of our employees explaining how it would effect the city. The mayor asked the council how involved they wanted to get? Rexburg would loose $61,452, which is 9.46 of our property tax. It will be hard to make up. Nyle Fullmer stated that we need to make the people aware of it, but he hates to get involved as a council. Glen Pond stated that the public needs to be aware of what it will cost the city, but there are other flaws within the 1~ initiative. Nyle Fullmer suggested that the mayor have a press conference. RE: MARTHA DAVIS REPLACES JUDY WALKER ON THE TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE Bruce Sutherland told the council Judy Walker had moved and recommended that we replace her with Martha Davis on the Traffic Safety Committee. A motion was made by Bruce Sutherland to do so. All Aye RE: STOP SIGN TO BE PLACED AT 1ST SOUTH AND ASH Bruce made a report on the Traffic Safety Committee meeting to discuss a stop sign at the corner of 1st South and Ash heading East. After discussing it and touching basis with the Chief of Police, the decision was to place a atop sign on 1st South at corner of Ash going east so the east bound traffic would come to a complete stop. Because of the shape of the corner, it is also recommended by the Traffic Safety Committee a one foot line be painted across the street so the traffic could see exactly where to stop. Chief Siepert felt that where it dead ends on the corner that that would be an appropriate place for the stop sign. ~~,f,. RE: DISCUSSION OF STOP SIGN AT ASH & MAPLE - LEAVE IT A YIELD SIGN The other decision the Traffic Safety Committee made in relation to an earlier decision is when Madison Profession Plaza was put in, they had recommended that a stop sign be placed at the corner of Ash and Maple, right now there is a Yield sign and they recommended that the Yield sign be left at that corner. (discussion) The mayor suggested that the council go look at the area and discuss it at the next meeting. RE: PROPOSAL FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO FORM A COMMITTEE "ADOPT A POLE", FOR CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS Brooke Passey and Clair Boyle was at the meeting. Brooke acted as spokesman for the Chamber of Commerce. They are forming a committee called Adopt a Pole as far as Christmas Decorations are concerned. They would like to get the residents and the downtown businesses, especially along Main Street, to take a street light pole and help with refurbishing the decorations that are already available and each year enhancing and adding to those decorations and expanding down 2nd East and also down 2nd West. There are lights with power hookups down College Avenue and down toward Penneys. He was not sure how far they go on Center Street. The plan is to get the committee formed and open it up to church groups and school classes to come up with some ideas to make their pole fun. We will have to have some guidelines. We are shooting for the week before Thanksgiving and have a Thanksgiving lighting ceremony and Christmas parade with Santa Claus. They wanted to get the residents involved in decorating Main Street, working with the city and Utah Power & Light and their equipment, and possibly get some private businesses that have buckets on their trucks to help. Brad told him it was a good idea and asked what they needed from the council. The mayor stated that we have budgeted $1500 from the city and $1500 from the Chamber. That won't go very far. They would like to see the citizens get involved. They just wanted to bring it to the attention of the council. If the council knows anyone that would be a good member of the committee, they would like some input. Clair said we need guidelines on it because when the decorations come down they would be the property of the city. They are looking at the decorations growing and will need other storage. The mayor stated that a couple of groups from the college and one from the Relief Society want it for a project to refurbish the decorations. Next year we will need to add to the decorations. A motion was made by Bruce Sutherland and seconded by Jim Flamm to pay the bills.
