RE: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION #92.11 - "HOT TAP" RESOLUTION (WATER) Resolution 92-11 Hot Tap Resolution- Requiring all contractors to perform a Hot Tap as of January 1, 1993. (on file) DeLynn explained the resolution. A Hot Tap is what we do on individual homes, rather than cutting the line and putting a "T" in and having to turn off the main line they put a big sleeve on and put a valve on with a big machine and bore out a hole and can tap up to a 12". With this you won't have possible contamination. A motion was made by Jim Flamm to adopt the resolution, seconded by Nyle Fullmer. All Aye Mayor Boyle reminded the council of the Legislative Dinner November 13 at the Shilo Inn in Idaho Falls. RE: EASEMENT ABANDONMENT ON N. 3RD E ADJACENT TO WALKER SUB DIVISION (RIGHT-OF-WAY) Mayor Boyle re-opened the Public Hearing for the Easement Abandonment on North 3rd East adjacent to the Walker Sub division. The Plat has already been approve and signed by the Planning & Zoning, City Council and the County with the 60 foot easement on the plat. John Millar told the council that the only streets that are wider than 60 foot is Main Street and the highway going out of town. The mayor said the advantage to the property owner is that they can utilize that property for parking and landscaping. The easement would be from the street north to the original city limits and on Barney Dairy Road from 3rd East to the bridge. It would drop to 69 foot at the Walker property between the two lots. The Planning & Zoning had no objections and there were no objections from the public at the hearing at the last meeting. A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer and seconded by Farrell Young that we abandon the property as proposed. All Aye. RE: P & Z REPORT - SUPER 8 MOTEL; TRAFFIC AT 2ND W & 4TH S Jim Flamm gave a report from Planning & Zoning. The Super 8 Motel plans were approved with some minor corrections. A Conditional Use Permit was approved for the property at the corner of 2nd West and 4th South. There was a citizen that was concerned about the added traffic at the corner. The Planning & Zoning recommended that the Traffic Committee look at it. They also discussed the Impact Zone. The mayor stated that since the 1$ Initiative did not pass we can move forward on both on the Rexburg Redevelopment and also on the Community Block Grant. RE: COMMUNITY BLOCK GRANT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES (WASTEWATER FACILITY) Next on the agenda was the Community Block Grant for administrative services. Jeff Summers was at the meeting to discuss it and told the council the application has to be in Friday. The council authorized the mayor to sign the application at the last meeting. It will go in November 6, and on November 9 and 10 they will be making a decision on those applications. The strong thing in favor of Rexburg is that they passed the bond, with a good strong local match and the fact that the election passed with an overwhelming vote. December 9 and 10 they will set up the short list. Blair Grover from Rigby is on that advisory committee. About March 14 they will make a final decision and there will be a presentation in Boise. The mayor will need to go to Boise to make the presentation before the advisory council and they will make the final selection. You are looking at about 50 to 60 applications now. They will probably fund 18 projects. Richard Horner told the council that from the Proposals we received for Administrative Services, we need to accept the proposal by ECIPDA. RE: SELLING OF BONDS ON THE REDEVELOPMENT Bruce Sutherland asked now the 1~ Initiative had failed, how soon can we sell the bonds on the Redevelopment? Jeff said he had talked to the Bond Underwriter and told him we wanted to do it immediately and it should be done in about four weeks. The problem with the project is once the the bonds are sold, the State Highway will probably not let us cut that road. If the interest rates are low the city will want to move on it. John Millar thought it would be advisable to bid the bridge separately. We could bid that in January and if we get a warm February, they could construct the bridge before high water. Mayor Boyle told the council that there was only one Proposal for the Administrative Services. The proposal was for $50,000 and we will negotiate with them. We need to accept the scope of the work that was outlined and then negotiate the cost. RE: MOTION PASSED TO ACCEPT PROPOSAL FROM ECIPDA A motion was made by Jim Flamm and seconded by Nyle Fullmer to accept the proposal for the administration of the Community Block Grant and start the negotiation with ECIPDA. The services will include all services required for ICDBG administration after the submission of the block grant application. Proposals will include: (1) Experience of ,.._, ~' ~ .. the bidder with the ICDBG project, (2) Services and resources committed to the project, (3) Completeness of proposal, (4) Personal qualification All Aye RE: UPDATE ON THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT John Millar gave an update on the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The draft is all written and they are doing the final editing now. That should go in Friday or at the latest on Monday. We need to schedule a public hearing on that now. We have to give 30 days notice. As soon as that public hearing is over, the final report can be prepared. The State office should have it reviewed within 30 days. In 45 days it can be completely filed. Design wise he had talked to Henry Moran and he sees no problem with proceeding with design, especially with this strong of a vote on the issue and getting that moving so we can run the two parallel and get it done in order to get the earliest bid possible. The mayor said he would like to get it bid in February or March. He also told John that we are very seriously considering putting a penalty on Forsgren if it is not done by March 1. The council set the date of the public hearing for December 16 at 8:00 P. M. RE: R.V. PARKING SURVEY The mayor asked the council if they had checked the R.V. Survey that was mailed to them. The council told the city clerk to send out the letters and give them until August 1993. A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer and seconded by Bruce Sutherland to approve the bills. Meeting adjourned.
