All Aye RE: REQUEST FOR DANCE AT SUMMERSET APARTMENTS IN PARKING LOT Dale Allen from Summerset Apartments was at the meeting to request having a dance in the Parking Lot. The nearest resident is the Ricks College Trailer Court. They are surrounded by college students. The music is not loud it will be western music. They are advertising for only their complex and a boys complex adjoining their property. The council felt they should let him have the dance because it would not be close to a residential area. Bruce thought they need to keep in mind that we might be getting more requests from apartment owners.

Prior to any proceedings of the hearing, Jeff Summers from ECIPDA handed out copies of the application for the Public Facility Idaho Community Development Block Grant for the City Council to review as he explained it to them. He told the council he would discuss the grant and clarify any questions they had. After Jeff Summers finished discussing the Application for the Grant, the mayor declared the Public Hearing open for comment from the public and the city council. The mayor asked the council if they had any comments or questions. He then asked if there were any comments from the audience. There were no comments from either the audience or the council. The mayor stated that we have a copy of the Application Handbook and a copy of the Application at City Hall. The total amount of Block Grant dollars available under this program is approximately three million dollars. The City of Rexburg will be applying for $500,000. The City of Rexburg is planning on doing a sewer project with the $500,000, which would primarily benefit the 62$ lower to moderate income persons in our community. The mayor stated that we have had several information hearings on the sewer project. We have had a citizens committee working on a solution to the problem for about four months. This committee has traveled to several cities to look at their systems and have done studies to find the best system for the city. The existing Treatment Plant has proven incapable of meeting EPA & State imposed treatment requirements. New technology is now available which will provide a more efficient and effective wastewater treatment plant to get in compliance with EPA and the State of Idaho and protect the environment that we live in to ensure the health need we have in Rexburg. We have had information in the paper and a fact sheet was mailed to everyone in the city. We hope the people will vote yea on election day.

RE: REPORT FROM PLANNING AND ZONING ON MOUNTAIN RIVER PLAZA Jim Flamm made a report from Planning & Zoning. The plans for the new addition Mountain River Plaza I1 had been reviewed at their meeting.

RE: COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN CHANGED - $RAD LILJENQUIST, SANITATION & JIM FLAMM, WATER AND WASTEWATER The mayor told the council, he wanted to make one change in the assignments for the committee chairman of Sanitation and Water and Wastewater.

(DIRT ROAD) Brad Liljenquist said a lady in his neighborhood was complaining about the road 11th South from 2nd East to Westwood and wondered if something could be done about it. It is a dirt path now. Nyle Fullmer said Vern Winters had asked him about the trash collection and snow removal along there. Glen said the developer needs to put that road in. The lady suggested that we put up a rock barrier so no one can drive down the road if they are not going to pave the road. Bruce Sutherland said he would go look at it with Farrell.
