RE: INTRODUCTION OF PARADES AND PUBLIC ASSEMBLIES ORDIANCE TOPIC: (22,59,,,PARADES,POLICE DEPT.,PARKS) Mayor Boyle read Ordinance 810 to control Parade and Public Assemblies for the first reading. Stephen told the council that it would give the city an opportunity to review and see if some kinds of gathering would need additional security and make sure they did not disrupt the general public. It would give the chief of police the authority to revoke the permit and shut down the type of gathering that is offending the public.

A11 Aye ii ' RE: NEW DEVELOPMENT REQUIRING STREET IMPROVEMENTS FEES TOPIC: (22,59,,,2ND W.,STREET DEVELOPMENT,DEVELOPERS,STREETS,FEES) Joe Laird discussed the Street Development referring to a handout and explained it. (handout on file) He asked the council to decide what portion the city would be responsible for and what portion the developer would be responsible for. (discussion) Joe explained typical sections. He discussed the new apartment complex that will be built on 2nd West. If the developer continues to have access to that street for hie development possibly he should pay for 22 1/2 foot width of pavement on either side on the two sides if he is using it and he should have to pay all or some of the increased thickness used on the road as he will be getting advantage of the road. If it is not a commercial development but a residential development it is not fair to make a residential development pay for all of the extra thickness because they are not the ones necessitating the extra thickness, it is the through traffic. The status of arterial roads will probably depreciating the value of home area. It seems reasonable that the city pick up the cost of the extra width over the 22 1/2 feet that would normally be picked up by the developer. He discussed right-a-way and backing developments up to the streets. Stephen felt it was necessary that the city start collecting some money from all properties benefited by a road. Nile felt the local road part they should pay but he thought the city should pay anything above that. For example on 2nd West where they are building apartments, they are going to say you already have a road through there but if you are going to make it wider why should we pay anything? What are we going to require them to do? Stephen told the council if you have an existing road and it is the placement of their facilities that requires the expansion of the service to accommodate them they should pay the entire cost of expanding. They should pay the difference that is prompted by their development. (discussion) A motion was made by Bruce Sutherland and seconded by Kay Beck to pass a resolution that until such time we implement an ordinance that we authorize Joe to access fees no less than the cost of a local section to expand the road for their development. A11 Aye RE: STRIPPING OF SOUTH HIGHWAY TOPIC: (22,60,,,7TH S.,STREET DEPT.) Stripping of South Highway discussed. Joe explained how he had it stripped. Discussion and direction from the council on the stripping. Bruce stated that in Utah they have fluorescent signs which really get your attention. He felt we should order some. RE: REVOLVING LOAN FUND UPDATE TOPIC: (22,60,,,REV0LVING LOAN FUND,NURSING HOME,E.C.I.P.D.A.,A.M.E.T., CARLSON*BOB,LOUISIANA-PACIFIC,LOANS) Glen Pond discussed the Revolving Loan Fund. We now pay $9000 a year to ECIPDA to manage the Revolving Loan Fund. We have had very little activity and now the Nursing Home has paid off their loan so we have those funds that we have committed to the A.M.E.T. project that will go in the old Penny Building. Glen made a motion that we let Richard and Stephen manage the Revolving Loan Fund. He thought we could do it for $1000. Kay Beck declared a possible conflict of interest. Seconded by Bruce Sutherland. Kay abstained from voting. All others voting Aye to the Motion. Glen reported that A.M.E.T made an offer to Penny. So the Revolving Loan Fund will be lending $600,000 for that project. It will be 20 year loan with a 7~ fixed rate. That will leave us a balance of $200,000 in the fund. The mayor reported that Sob Carlson came in with a proposal for Taco .,-..._ Bell and he wants to borrow some money from the Revolving Loan Fund. a What we have required from A.M.E.T is for the two owners to sign a personal guarantee plus we will have first mortgage on the building.
