Consent Agenda: Council Minutes and Work Meeting Minutes of June 16, 2015 had been
reviewed. Council Member Geray asked about the discrepancy with Bonneville County Law
Enforcement Contract. The City had paid the City of Idaho Falls for services while the
Bonneville County Contract was being reviewed. Bonneville County had back -billed for the
services once the contract was signed. Bonneville County would rectify this by not billing the
City for the amount paid to the City of Idaho Falls. Council reviewed the finance reports for the

the bank and routine bills had been paid.

Agenda. Council Member Gubler seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion carried.

Police Department: Chief Lurker reported he is working with the Chevy Dealership's
Distribution Center to outfit a truck that will service the Police Department for 4 years, and then
be turned over to the Public Works Department for another 4 years.
Chief Lurker received information on a traffic monitor that has the ability to record the activity
of high frequency offense areas. Data can be downloaded into a spreadsheet via Bluetooth from
the patrol vehicle. The technology cannot be used to write tickets as all offenses have to be
witnessed physically by an officer. Cost of the equipment is $3,000.00
Chief Lurker reported he is finished with his preliminary POST requirements and will be moving
forward to challenge the exam.
Mayor: Mayor Andersen suggested looking at annexing the north west corner of Crowley and
Iona Road. He thought sending a personal letter to homeowners, Struh's and Howell's, would be
a good idea.
Mayor Andersen reported citizens requested having a legal fireworks show; possibly citizens and
City could pitch in together for the event.
