RE: PAM SMITH ON A DELINQUENT WATER BILL TOPIC: (21,91,,, SMITH*PAM,WATER BILL) Pam Smith attended the meeting. The mayor explained, her water is about to be turned off and she stated that three or four months ago she had come in and put $35 in cash in the drop box but the records don't show that she paid. Pam told the council she had all of her five kids with her and she put her money in cash sealed and addressed to the City of Rexburg and she tapped on the window because it was cash and Valeea turned around and waved at her and Pam told her through the window "Cash" and showed her the envelope and Valeea said okay and now there is no record. Valeea says she does not take the money out of the drop box but she remembers Pam tapping on the window. She had never tapped on the window to say high to Valeea before and had always paid her bill before. She is just $35 delinquent. Kay reminded her that is not a good practice to put cash in the drop box. A motion was made by Kay Beck that the city go ahead and forgive the amount of the $35 and write it off. Seconded by Bruce Sutherland. All Aye RE: APROVED VARIANCE FOR THE BASEMENT AT WILCOX FRESH PACK TOPIC: (21,91,,, WILCOX FRESH PACK,U.B.C.) The mayor referred to a letter from the Uniform Building Code Appeals Board which had been put in all the councilman's folder. One part of the building out at Wilcox's new project would have to qualify as a basement because it is 8 foot below the other ground floor even though it isn't a basement. If it is a basement you have to have all the accesses out of the basement and you have to have a sprinkling system. Joe took it to the Appeals Board and their recommendation is because of the trucks going into a basement and the moisture that we grant a variance and call it just another floor. (copy of letter on file) A motion was made by Glen Pond to take the Appeals Board's recommendation and grant the variance. Seconded by Kay Beck, All Aye. RE: L.I.D. 30 TOPIC: (21,91,,,TREES,SEWER,SIDEWALKS,LANDSCAPING) L.I.D. 30- Val Christenson explained that at the last meeting we had questions that come up about trees and he handed out some options (on file). Option 83 is moving the sewer line into the street which would be an additional cost of about $83,000. Another option putting it under the sidewalk would be an additional cost of about $54,000. There is another option from H 5 K Contractors that they have the ability to do pipe bursting. They are doing their first project down to Idaho Falls this Friday and don't want to give any price until after they do that project because they are not sure how much it will cost to do it. Val has estimated it at about $10,000 which might be high. He explained the process. They go inside the pipe and mechanically expand and break it and put a new pipe inside. You can do it in place. (discussion) The mayor stated he had several calls and two letters from (1) Eileen G. Peck and (2) Steve Grover who feel the trees need to be saved. (copies on file) A motion was made by Bruce Sutherland that we go with the Pipe Bursting option number if the cost is $10,000 or less. Seconded by Farrell Young. All Aye The mayor told the council that he had three letters this week commending the police department for their good work.
