RE: 2 HOUR PARKING ON REED AVENUE APPROVED
TOPIC: (19,50,,,PARKING,REED AVENUE)
The mayor reported that at the last meeting we discussed the student
parking on Reed Avenue. We have a petition signed by the residents on
that street requesting 2 hour parking between 8:00 A. M. and 3:00 P.M.
Monday through Friday. (on file) Glen asked if it would be possible to
patrol it. Nile felt that if they give a few tickets it would work.
He thought it would work on College Ave, but we have not talked to
everyone. A motion was made by Kay Beck that we post that street with
2 hour parking signs between 8:00 A. M. and 3:00 P. M. from Monday to
Friday. Seconded by Jim Flamm. All Aye except Nyle Fullmer voting
nay, he felt it would be too hard to enforce.
RE: NEED FOR 20 NEW STREET LIGHTS
TOPIC: (19,50,,,STREET LIGHTS,BUDGET,P & Z,SUBDIVISIONS)
The council was all given a survey with a list of street lights. There
were more than 20 lights needed. Richard told the council each light
cost $1500 each so it would cost $30,000 in street lights plus the
monthly charge. Farrell Young suggested that we do two or three a
year. The mayor asked Nyle Fullmer to work with the police to
prioritize the lights needed. Glen Pond stated that Planning & Zoning
needs to make sure the developers put in lights in new subdivisions.
RE: DISCUSSION OF HAVING A CONCESSION SHACK IN SMITH PARK
TOPIC: (19,50,,,SMITH PARK,CONCESSIONS)
A lady was at council to request putting a concession shack in Smith
Park. She has done the concessions at Community Park. J. D. Hancock
stated that in Restrictive Covenants for Smith Park it will not allow
it. The property was donated by the church with restrictive
covenants. The council felt there would be no problem if she wanted to
sell from the curb, but she could not have a permanent vending
structure. It would have to be taken in and out.

RE: GARBAGE REGULATIONS, ETC.
TOPIC: (19,51,,,GARBAGE)
There have been some questions that have come up in the City Hall about
garbage.
Recent Garbage Ordinance stated $20.00 extra charge for extra pick up
for any container.
1) Should that remain that way for 90 gallon containers? The mayor
explained the problems that have come up. The council agreed that if
it costs that much to go back and pick up the garbage, everyone will
have to pay $20.
2) What if we empty it twice in one stop? Council felt that we should
play it by ear. If someone is consistent with the problem, we will
deal with it at that time.
3) Allow one 90 gallon container every week and one every other week?
The council decided it was either one way or the other.
RE: FALL CLEAN UP FOR TWO WEEKS APPROVED
TOPIC: (19,51,,,FALL CLEAN UP,STREET DEPARTMENT,YARD WASTE,GARBAGE)
4) Should street department pick up leaves? Should we charge for it?
(discussion) A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer that the city should
pick up the yard waste this fall for two weeks and do it again in the
spring and establish the hard costs and then look at it again next fall.
The yard waste will need to be in bags on the curb. Seconded by
Farrell Young. All Aye
RE: PROPOSAL FOR CONNECTING 4TH NORTH TO BARNEY DAIRY ROAD BETWEEN
AMDAHL AND THE GALLERY LAB
TOPIC: (19,51,,,BARNEY DAIRY ROAD,4TH NORTH,AMDAHL,GALLERY LAB,
STREETS)
Joe Laird gave a hand out and a map with a proposal for connecting 4th
North to Barney Dairy road between Amdahl and the Gallery Lab. (on
file) He wanted the council's feeling on projecting it through. The
Barney Dairy road would be changed so the main flow would be to the
north east and come into 4th north, instead to the south west as it
presently goes. The main idea is getting a through street into that
area south of the river that you could call some sort of an arterial.
There is really not an east/west road. The preliminary plat could be
changed to accommodate this road, if the developer were willing to do
that. Glen stated that it was an excellent proposal and the council
agreed. It is worth pursuing.
RE: RESOLUTION 94.10 PASSED - AUTHORIZING APPLICATION FOR A GRANT FOR
THE INDUSTRIAL PARK
TOPIC: (19,51,RES,94.10,GRANTS,INDUSTRIAL PARK,ECIPDA)
Ted Hendricks- He had prepared an Authorizing Resolution No. 94.10. "A
resolution to Submit an Application for an Economic Development Grant
to Assist in the Construction of Water and Wastewater System
Improvements for the Rexburg Business Park, Including Main Waterlines
and Wastewater Collection and Transmission Lines." This authorizes the
mayor to execute all documents for the application. ECIPDA would
prepare the papers and get the mayor to sign. There is also agreements
between the business owners and the city that you have to enter into on
this particular grant, that documents the jobs and says basically if
the jobs are not created and/or retained like they are at present them,
the grant money could be subject to being paid back. A motion was made
by Glen Pond to approve Resolution 94-10, seconded by Nyle Fullmer.
All Aye.
A motion was made by Kay Beck and seconded by Nyle Fullmer to approve
the bills. All Aye
A motion was made by Glen Pond and seconded by Nyle Fullmer to go into
executive session to discuss the sale of property in the Business
Park. All Aye,
After council reconvened after executive session.

RE: APPROVAL GIVEN TO LOAN $164,000 TO M.E.D.C.O.
TOPIC: (19,52,,,M.E.D.C.O.,REVOLVING LOAN FUND,BUDGET)
A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer to lend M.E.D.C.O. $150,000 plus
$14,000 for an Enterprise fund for a total of $164,000. Seconded by Jim
Flamm. All Aye
RE: DISCUSSION OF BUYING OR LEASING SNOW GRADERS
TOPIC: (19,52,,,BIDS,GRADERS,SNOW REMOVAL,ZOLLINGER*JACK,STREETS)
Mayor Boyle discussed that we have approved the city to buy two graders
and we have bid this out. We have talked to Jack Zollinger about
signing a contract for them to use their grader for snow removal in the
winter. They would contract to plow snow when it snowed anytime of the
day or night until the contract is terminated, instead of buying two
graders. The council felt like that would be a good idea to back off
and buy one grader and lease one. A motion was made by Nyle Fullmer to
authorize the mayor to sign the lease with Zollinger for the snow
removal with one grader and buy one grader. Seconded by Jim Flamm.
All Aye except Kay Beck voting nay.
Meeting adjourned.
