All Aye RE: NOISE PROBLEM ON MAIN STREET TOPIC: (19,33,,,NOISE,POLICE,MAIN STREET) Mayor Boyle made a report on the Noise Problem on Main Street. The police looked into buying a decibel meter, but are still not convinced that is the way to go. They have given three tickets to youth with really loud mufflers, and charged them with disturbing the peace. Steve Zollinger stated that he recommended they get the decibel meter. It would be the easiest way to enforce it. The mayor said we would follow through with that and see if we can take care of it.

Steve Zollinger explained the ordinance. A motion was made by Glen Pond and seconded by Kay Beck to approve the ordinance for the first reading only. All Aye RE: SIDEWALKS IN CITY DISCUSSED - ESPECIALLY MILLHOLLOW TOPIC: (19,34,,,SIDEWALKS,MILLH0LL0W) Next on the agenda Sidewalks. The mayor explained that in August we passed a resolution on sidewalks. As long as he has been on the council, never have we talked about forcing all the homes along Millhollow to have sidewalks. That is one street in the city that it would be hard to put in sidewalks, because that is the only street in the City of Rexburg that we do not have adequate right-a-way. On the upper part of Millhollow, we own back of curb to back of curb, so there won't be any sidewalks on upper Millhollow unless we get a lot of money to buy right-a-way to put sidewalks in. He has also had a lot of complaints about lack of sidewalks. The council has decided that we need to enforce the law that has been on the books since 1968 and require every house from now on to have a sidewalk. RE: SIDEWALK AT TONI LUSK HOME DISCUSSED - 546 EDITH CIRCLE TOPIC: (19,34,,,SIDEWALKS,LUSK*TONI,EDITH CIRCLE) Toni Lusk- 546 Edith Circle- This resolution was passed in August and her building permit was issued in April. She was not informed about the sidewalk. Her builder went through all the paper work they had and could not find anything on it or on the house plans so when she had taken out a mortgage at the bank they did not plan on sidewalks and could not come up with the money now. Blair Manwaring came to her after she had moved in the house and told her she had to have five foot wide sidewalks. She had come to city hall and talked to Joe Laird and he told her the law was passed in March. The mayor told her the law was always there and the resolution just defined the width. Joe Laird stated that her plans had a five foot sidewalk on them. Toni complained that Farrell Davidson came up after they had put in the landscaping and sprinkling system and said the city was tearing out the curb to put in a handicapped access. She did not think that was very good organization. (discussion on the landscaper being told about the sidewalk) Toni felt a sidewalk should go in under an L.I.D. The mayor told her to bring in a copy of her plans. Toni stated that they also tore her lawn up to put in a handicapped access. Toni complained that she had not been notified about the sidewalk until she was in the house for one week. Kay told her the safety committee and sidewalk committee were the ones that recommended the sidewalk, but the law has been there since 1968. Sometimes you have to do things just to be a good neighbor. RE: NEED TO BE UNIFORM ABOUT SIDEWALKS - MAILBOXES, SIZE, ETC. TOPIC: (19,34,,,SIDEWALKS,L.I.D.'S,MAILBOXES,SUBDIVISIONS) Jim stated that everyone we talked to says yes we need a sidewalk but we need to be uniform. We have avoided telling people what they don't want to do, and we can't do it anymore. He suggested that we take some time and see if we can figure out a plan and do an L.I.D. There will '~ have to be some adjustments and give and take. He suggested that the people that live on that street get together and figure out what they can do. The mayor stated the post office would like to get the mailboxes off the sidewalks and they will help with the cost. All subdivisions from now on will have all the mailboxes in one spot. Jim suggested that he and Kay work with some of the people in that area and see if we can work it out. Kay said if we could get rid of the mailboxes on the sidewalks, there would be no problem going back to the four foot sidewalks. Isabelle Johnson- 515 East 1ST North- She would have to take out shrubs and trees and move her sprinkling system. She is a widow and living off her social security and she does not have the money to move everything. It cost her $100 to move one tree. She has large pine trees. She just does not have the money. Kay said that is why there is not an easy answer and there has never been the talk of going back and insisting that someone that is already in has to put in a sidewalk. Mrs Johnson said when she moved here in 1989 no one told her about sidewalks. She moved from California and everyone there had to have sidewalks. The children walk in the middle of the road and they will not use the sidewalks, if they have them. She complained about the people going through the stop sign by her house. Mrs Halterman- 14 North Millhollow- It would be hard to walk up Millhollow in the winter to get the mail. She appreciated her mailbox right where it is. It is icy and very steep on Millhollow in the winter. The kids don't use the sidewalks because they all want to gang together. If the sidewalks would have been put in when the house was built, that would have been okay. It will be hard to tear down the trees. Kay stated that there has been no mention of forcing the people to put in sidewalks that already have their homes built. It was recommended by the safety committee that we ask people to do it. Venese Leishman- Complained about the speeding on that road. It is not patrolled and is dangerous. Steve Meikle- 25 Millhollow- He is in the middle of construction and did sign a letter stating that he would put a sidewalk in. He would be the only one on that side of the street with a sidewalk. He did realize you need a sidewalk, but not to have one person on one side of the street put one in. He felt we should look at it and have it developed so there isn't just 4 or 5 houses with sidewalks. That morning he had passed 33 children walking in the road on 2nd South and only 2 people on the sidewalk. Susan Bodily-She walks every day and it is easier to walk on the sidewalk. At this time she does not have a sidewalk, however she is making arrangements to install a sidewalk in the next 18 to 24 months. Because she lives near Millhollow Road she is a frequent user of this road to walk. She has noticed a lot of children and other people walking on this road and dodging vehicles. With over 14,000 people Rexburg is no longer a rural town. We live within walking distance of schools and stores and a hospital with a helicopter and for safety we need sidewalks. We need to look into it before we put an L.I.D. in, because it sometimes is more expensive than putting in your own sidewalk. She discussed sidewalks. Jan Wright-237 Maryanne- She was in favor of sidewalks. On North 5th West there in no sidewalk. There are a lot of children going to school along that street and they have to walk in the street. It is a safety factor. Linda Taylor- 138 Aries- She is the president of the P.T.A. She has had a lot of parents express their concern to her, because a lot of the students have to walk and they do not have sidewalks. Her concern is if it would save a life of one child it would be worth it. 3~ Graydon Burton- You can't walk on the sidewalks on Main Street without breaking an ankle and branches hit you in the face. The sidewalks are in such poor condition. Sharon Daniels- 125 Millhollow Drive- they have lived there for 24 years. They have 380 foot of frontage. When the street was paved they took more than was allowed in an easement off the front of their property. We have 40 foot pine trees, about 150 foot of cedar fence, three rows of bushes and flowering trees, and sprinklers. Behind that fence, if a sidewalk was put in, you would have to build it like a bridge, because there is no ground under it. Between them and Joe Romney's house, there is the same problem. I would hate to see one house with a stripe of sidewalk and three or four houses without sidewalk. She felt that the speed limit should be more controlled up there. We have worked to make the yard beautiful and it would be tragic to have to take it out. She felt sidewalks should have been planned before all the landscaping was put in. The mayor told her that along where she lives the city right-a-way is only 40', back of curb to back of curb. Kay told here that along her area there had not been any discussion on sidewalks. RE: PUBLIC HEARING FOR BUDGET TOPIC: (19,36,,,PUBLIC HEARINGS,BUDGET,FRANCHISE FEE,GARBAGE) 8:15 P. M. Public Hearing for the budget. Richard gave out handouts and explained. (on file) The mayor explained the county charge on the taxes for garbage vs the city charge and the amount they would charge the city for the tonnage on garbage. Pat Burton asked about the franchise charge for Total Electric homes. The mayor said he had a call from Grant Hope and Boyle Summers, who have electric heat. They felt the franchise fee should be on the gas heat. We would like to raise the money with a qas tax, but we need to tell our legislators. A.I.C. is trying to increase the gas tax and if they succeed, we will lower the franchise fee. Pat Burton stated it would be a more fair way. Glen Pond told them we could raise the registration fee on vehicles, that is an option the state has, but they have neglected doing so. We need to work on the Legislators. The residential people will pay their share but the commercial people will pick up the greater amount. Ed Hoopes- In Boise when they pass something, they dump it into the general fund and we don't see any. Budge Clay-437 West 6th South- He hasn't had his garbage picked up since March 21. He has a compose pile, and he recycles everything he can. He believes that if everyone in the city would take account of what they are doing with garbage, they could cut it down. Jim Nielson- The reason some people don't have very much garbage, is they put it in his bin. (discussion on the mess behind J. C. Penny) The mayor told them we are going to pass an ordinance with a fine for putting garbage in someone's bin. Budge Clay- If anyone catches him he would be glad to pay. The costs are going up because of unfunded mandates and the A.I.C. is working with Senator Kempthorn to stop unfunded mandates. Richard explained the garbage fees and the reason for rate increase. Discussion on sewer rates and how sewage is measured. Jim Nielson- He owns a laundry and 25~ of his water goes out the stack because they dry it and don't put it down the drain. The mayor told him the only option he would have is to buy a meter for the sewer and those are expensive. The mayor explained about the grants vs the ~~ government only loaning the money. Jim said his bill jumped about $100 from January to July. Richard explained the tax levy rate, showing a scale. Bryan Birch- Stated that with the sewer figured over the winter months, it isn't fair because his water increased over the winter with college students and decreases in the summer. He asked about extending the contract on the wastewater. If we extend the contract, we might need to repair or add to the plant in 15 years. Joe Romney- You are talking about grants. We need not to use federal grants unless we need them, because we pay for it. The mayor explained and explained A.D.A. requirements. Kerry Park- questioned the increase in golf course fees? Richard explained. Budge Clay- He is not objecting but he reads his own water meter and all he uses is 4000 gal a month and is charged for 6000 a minimum and asked about his garbage fee? The mayor explained the fee and minimum water fee. Barbara Jaussi- Questioned why we have to make the tabernacle handicapped accessible? Glen explained the A.D.A. regulations. Barbara also questioned the recreation funds? Richard explained that most of the money is raised by the people that use the recreation. Glen told her that sometimes we have to take pride in our city to have nice parks and recreation facilities.

Glen Pond asked if in March when we can raise the gas franchise tax, will we collect the extra revenue from the gas franchise fee or will we then lower the U.P.L. franchise fee to off set the income coming from the gas franchise tax? The mayor stated that he thought we should lower the U.P.L. franchise fee at that time and even go further and if the State passes increase of any tax, that we lower the U.P.L. franchise fee as well. To balance the budget right now we have to do it this way. The council agreed that if we get the extra revenue from the gas company, we could lower the U.P.L. franchise fee for that amount.

There is a big hole there in the alley. Kay suggested that Joe go look at it. That is not a city alley. Discussion on if the alley could be closed. Nyle stated that he did not think it was the city's responsibility to provide the drainage on the alley.
