The options would be decided upon during Council. • Facebook: Comments from March indicated that Facebook was on a downhill slide and Council thought updating the website would be more effective. o Mayor Andersen didn't think Facebook was going downhill. He stated that millions and millions of people are on Facebook every day. He thought it was a good media to provide instant notification for things like chlorinating the water and water main breaks. o Council President Walker and Council Member Gubler thought it could be used as a platform for negativity and were concerned about the maintenance of the page. o Council Member Geray suggested a trifecta: Update the Homepage; Utilize the Reverse 911 System (Swift Reach); and Facebook. Chief Lurker would be looking into Swift Reach. A decision would be made during Council. • Water Committee: It was unclear why the Water Committee Members needed to be approved. It was because they are making recommendations on the City's behalf. • Solid Waste Ordinance: Mayor Andersen was concerned that changing the ordinance to allow for more than one day of pick-up services was defeating the purpose. Council Member Gubler referenced item 6-5-1 A, Establishing standards, procedures, and licensing requirements. He didn't want more work for the City. He also thought that making a size requirement for labeling could put a hardship on haulers and suggested labeling should be legible. Reports Public Works: Mayor Andersen presented Director Prouse's written report, Exhibit "C." One item reported was a leak test to be done on the storage tank. Council Member Gubler suggested putting a new bladder inside the tank to eliminate leaks because it is only functioning at 2/3 capacity at this time. Water conservation was another item addressed. Due to low precipitation the City could receive a water curtailment notice this year. Any junior water rights (1985 or newer) would be affected. Meeting adjourned 6:55 p.m. COUNCIL APPROVED: May 19, 2015 ATTEST: Jul*- • ammond, City Clerk Brad Andersen, Mayor LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ANIMAL CONTROL AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT, entered into this 1st day of October, 2014, by and between BONNEVILLE COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Idaho, (the "County") and the CITY OF IONA, a municipal corporation of the State of Idaho located within Bonneville County, (the "City").

That certainly- was the case in Iona on Saturday, as well as Idaho Falls. And, no doubt, at various egg scrambles throughout eastern Idaho and around the state. Hundreds of eager children, equipped with plastic buckets or large cloth bags — not to mention a fair number of pillow cases — stood at the ready. Scattered about on the ground before them, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of brightly colored plastic eggs. In Iona. Mayor Brad Andersen gave the signal at about II a.m. and the children surged forward, many with parents in tow. Most of the eggs contained small candies, but a precious few also held something else — special golden tickets that entitled the bearer to something, well, very special — like a bucket brimming with goodies or a shiny, new bicycle. It was Andersen who got the Iona egg ■ An estimated crowd of 1,0OU gathered in the park next to the lona city building EASTER, G-untimo-I on Page B2 a71.11 II lyln I IQ 11V1R , Mi. icy.

That money will go to designated beneficiaries .. , no matter what you state in your Will or trust. Again, if only one child is listed as the beneficiary (perhaps for convenience) the same risks apply. These types of well -intended decisions sacrifice the protections provided by proper estate planning because they result in unintended conveyance of ownership, relinquished control and increased risk. No matter how carefully a Will or trust is drafted, a lapse In Judgment or a step taken for the sake of convenience may create results you never intended. Future columns will address how the same goals can be accomplished but without the risks described above, and without significant additional cost or complexity.

"We needed a spring event," he said. Andersen is a big be- liever in community events. "It's fun. It's good for the community (because) it brings everybody out. You see people you might not ever see (otherwise)," he said. "It's also a good opportunity to show off your community." Being part of the com- munity also is important to Elsie Dickerson, president of the National Federation of the Blind of Idaho. So much so that the fed- eration, with a little help from its friends, including the Teton Valley Chapter of Bikers for Christ and Cen- turylink Pioneers, staged a "beeping" egg hunt for visually impaired children Saturday. It was held as part of the larger, tradi- tional egg hunt at Commu- nity Park in Idaho Falls. "It's great fun for the Pat &milk! pautphin@poatregiater.com Hundreds of opened Easter eggs were collected in bins to be used again in next year's hunt in Iona. kids -- and for the adults who watch the kids," Dick- erson said. Jason Wall, owner of Beaners BMX bicycle and stoner shop in Idaho Falls, helped sponsor the Idaho Falls event this year. "I was asked to be a sponsor. I work a lot with youth. Anything involved with youth and I'm there," Wall said. That spirit of community also makes the Iona event special, said Amy Sullivan, city treasurer and, for the past three years, principal egg -hunt organizer. But Sullivan didn't want any of the credit. She quickly pointed to others. "The whole city comes together — families, youth OPricoate Spring with a nest) Hair Styl% groups — they help stuff the eggs. Our people a our sponsors are fantasti Sullivan said. But Andersen said Sul- livan also deserves a lot of the. credit. "This thing takes five months to plan and it's over in 5 minutes," he said. Late Saturday morning, an estimated crowd of 1,000 — mostly families -- crowded into the park and onto the lawn surrounding the Iona city building. Among them was Bryson Higley, of Idaho Falls, and his daughters, Caitlin, 14, and Brooke, 4. Brooke was opening one of her eggs when she found a yellow -edged piece of paper — a golden ticket. The girl showed it to her father and sister, but no one seemed sure what it meant. Then Brooke showed the piece of paper to Sullivan. The girl had won a purple - and -pink bicycle. Bror "- smiled, but didn't kn.. quite what to say. So, she let her big sister do the talking. "She has another bike at home, but it's too small for her now," Caitlin said. "This is perfect." i Council Report April 2015 1. The asphalt overlay projects on Wilde and Longhurst Ave. have been completed. 2. The construction site for the new shelter in Pioneer park has been prepped for concrete and construction will begin once the concrete has been poured. 3. The leak survey of the water system was completed on March 27'h . No evidence of significant leakage was reported. I will be doing a leak test on the storage tank to try to obtain an accurate gallon per minute loss from the tank leak. To do this I will obtain an initial water level reading when the tank is full. Then I will isolate the tank from the water system and monitor the rate of loss from the tank over a 24 hour period. Results from this test will be reported at next council meeting. 4. The quit claim deed for the Bryan's will vacate an alley right of way owned by the City. This right of way will not be used presently or in the future by the City. Also there is an irrigation ditch located within said right of way. The Bryan's have been informed that if any irrigation water rights holders would need access to the water that it would be their responsibility to repair and maintain the ditch on their property. The ditch has been filled in by private property owners upstream and downstream from the Bryan's property, but to my knowledge the ditch has not been legally excluded. There should not be any liability to the City for the actions of private property owner's obstructing or altering an irrigation ditch on private property. 5. The inspections required for Mr. Sud's detail business have not been completed. He has paid for a permit but the inspections have not been performed. Please advise on how to proceed with this matter as Mr. Baldwin was given 30 days to schedule and complete the requested inspections. 6. Bonneville County Road & Bridge will no longer be chip seal coating for the City. I will prepare a bid spec sheet and obtain three bids for the annual 1 mile of seal coating. The bids will be submitted at next council meeting. 7. The new shelves for the library are finished and will be installed by Allen and myself ASAP. 8. The cost for demolition and replacement of one set of stairs will be approximately $6,000 for concrete and metal will be $5,000 to $10,000 , the price can be more accurately set once the City decides exactly what type of metal will be used for construction. Ideally you would use grip strut ( expanded metal ) for the treads and carbon steel for the frames. There are several different options with the metal stairs, but the bid price for the metal does shrink the width of the stairs to 10 feet 9 inches. 9. The joint use agreement between the City and the DOE is still in the process of being completed. Schiess engineering is preparing a site plan for the DOE to reassure security personnel that the tank site and piping will not interfere with access to the DOE tower site. This site plan should be completed by Wednesday the 22na 10.
