PRESENTATION ON SAFETY STUDIES
Mr. Bromwell, a civil engineer with CMZ Boise, with the Idaho Traffic
Safety Commission gave a presentation to the council on the safety ~{~
studies they are now doing in some cities. There is a grant that will
pay 770 of the costs of such a survey. The cost for Rexburg would be
between $18,000 and $24,000. Mayor Porter stated that after the new
State Highway is completed there will be a great change in the cities
traffic problem. It would be more advisable for us to wait until we
know what the problems will be before we have a survey. We are however,
trying to activate our safety commission to help with any problems
that may anise.
2Ef REXBURG IRRIGATION COMPANY HAS AGREEMENT WITH CITY TO LET THEM LEASE t^lATER
'Rexburg Irrigation Company, in 1967 they made a agreement with the City
of Rexburg to let them lease any water that the City is not using.
They had heard the City was leasing water to others. Mayor Porter
advised that we were not aware of the agreement but we will put into
our minutes now that at the time the leases already signed expire,
that the City will offer Rexburg Irrigation all their excess water for
lease. We are now committed to two leases but will not renew them.
2E: A. ICNUTSON PROTESTED TO COUNCIL ON THE TRAILER HOUSE ORDINANCE
A. Knutson protested to the council on the trailer house ordinance that
was passed several years ago. This ordinance gave the trailer courts
until July 1976 to comply with the regulations in this ordinance. Mr.
Knutson feels that this ordinance is way out of line. He was lead to
believe before the ordinance was passed that this would apply only to
new courts going in and would not make existing courts comply. He
feels the expense involved would be excessive and not necessary.
Councilman Warren Porter asked Mr. ICnutson to make a list of the things
in the ordinance that he is against and present the list to the Council.
The council will then take it underadvisement. Councilman Morgan
Garner seconded.
All Aye

Mr. ICnutson asked where the council intended to put this bridge across

from his trailer court. Mayor Porter says I'm sure we would.
