Glen read the Firework Permits: JK Marketing ~ Jared Jenson @ 585 N 2nd E (Teton Lanes) @ 22 West Main @ 211 5 2nd W Golden Dragon Fireworks 8 Thomas P. Migel @ 259 N 2nd E RE: ZURRAL NELSON WAIVED CONNECTION FEE TO CITY SEWER TOPIC: (22,33,,,WASTEWATER DEPT.,SEWER,UTILITIES,ORCHARD AVE., 2ND W.) Glen told the council that Zurral Nelson's family has met with the mayor, Mr. Nelson is in the hospital in Idaho Falls and is very i11. They need to have sewer put in to his house which is across the street from Taco Time and they have asked the city to wave the sewer connect fee. Glen felt that would be okay but if and when the property ever changed ownership that they should charge them the fee. The sewer will have to be ran to Orchard Ave. The Nelson Family will have to pay to have it taken to the street. Stephen mentioned that if and when the property sells the owner will have to pay a large sum to put in sidewalks, and do we want to include a sewer connect fee to that? Glen asked if we want to not waive the fee but, postpone the fee. Has the city ever granted any of these situations on hardship in the past. (discussion) Stephen suggested that we grant him a hardship waiver. This is a health risk to the city and if we can get sewer to this property we should take this opportunity to do it. The sister ownes the property and she is the one that legally can deal with these kind of improvements. Farrell made the motion and Nyle seconded to waive the connection fee because of the health issue. All Aye. RE: PUBLIC HEARING FOR APPROVAL OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TOPIC: (22,33,,,COMPREHENSZVE PLAN,ZONING,P&Z) 7:45 P.M. Comprehensive Plan Public Hearing. Comprehensive Plan to replace the Comprehensive Plan 2000. John Millar, 523 Edith, Rexburg Idaho. Representing the Planning and Zoning Commission. We have worked very hard on this and we have held many meetings and public hearings and in our last Planning and Zoning meeting we voted on to adopt the new comprehensive plan. Ralph Robison, 1920 N 3000 W, Rexburg Idaho. Had a few question on how the plan would help the growth of the community, with the airport, (k n railroad and the highway. He also questioned what would happen if Ricks College was to go to a four year college. I feel like this comprehensive plan would accommodate all of my concerns. Ranae Magee - 360 W 15th St., Idaho Falls. The Comprehesive Plan is a guide for future growth and development of the city. Policy statement that provides frame work, not a zoning ord. She recommends that it be adopted often by resolution not by Ordinance. We have set the time line of this comprehensive plan to be 10 years. (showed the blob map & explained) Bruce Sutherland publicly thanked Ranae and the planning commission for the work that went into the comprehensive plan. Closed the public hearing. Farrell Young made the motion, Nyle Fullmer seconded to approve the comprehensive plan in the form of a resolution. All Aye. Set up a time for the Council Meeting on June 17, 1998, it is conflicting with the AIC confrence. Farrell Young moved Marsha Bjornn seconded that we cancel the City Council Meeting on June 17, 1998.

RE: REPORT ON NATURE PARK & BIKE PATH TOPIC: (22,34,,,BIKE PATH,NATURE PARK,POLICE DEPT.,SAFETY) Marsha Bjornn reported on the bike path at the Arboretum and the Nature Park, it is really nice. One thing is there was a complaint on keeping the path up. The citizen complained that there are rocks on it, and it becomes dangerous for the roller bladers. Glen suggested that we have the police departmentuse that as a project for community service hours. It also needs to have reflectors or signs to indicate that it is a bike path. RE: TABERNACLE HOARDS CONTROL OVER MUSEUM TOPIC: (22,34,,,MUSEUM,TABERNACLE,TABERNACLE BOARD) Farrell Young reported that Tabernacle Board would like the council to know that they have no control over the museum. It has come to the point the museum is no longer an asset to the community. They don't want the blame for it. If something is going to happen to the museum the council needs to handle it. (discussion) The city awns the building and they can do what ever they want with it.
