be contacted in the early spring for repair costs to the step.
Mayor Andersen and Director Prouse met with the Smith's regarding their property on the south
side of Telford Rd above Charles Scoresby for a well and/or water tank site. Smith's original
price was $35,000 for one acre with one or two main line connections. A counter offer of
$26,000 for one acre with a 1" service connection was proposed. The City is still waiting on the
water study. There are other sites available but this particular site meets the current needs of the
City.
Director Prouse reported that the City was open for liability because of alleys not being signed
one-way.
Building: Inspector Eldridge reported one home permit for August, two or three lots left in Rose
Valley, and two lots left on the back side of Barnes Way. He would touch base with Riverbend
Construction regarding Country Haven. Inspections have been steady at around 15-20
inspections a week.
Contracted Mechanical/Plumbing Inspector, Greg McBride is on top of all sprinkler permits.
Brent Purcell is a backup for Contracted Electrical Inspector, Jane (Shaw) Allred, who is on
temporary leave. Mr. Purcell is able to work under Ms. Allred's ICC License and is currently
working on his own license. Council Member Geray suggested updating the Electrical Inspector
Resolution as applicable when Mr. Purcell obtains his own license.
City Offices: Clerk Hammond reported that P&Z recommended to Jerry Hansen that he have
his plat recorded with Bonneville County on the property at 49th and 55t". The City Engineer
requested a master plan for the entire build out including access roads, basic utility services,
water, and sewer.
Acting Mayor Walker would be signing the Hansen Annexation Ordinance for the property at
49th and 55t" during Council which was approved in May.
Schiess Engineering would be drafting a Time & Materials (T&M) Contract for miscellaneous
work that arises through growth of the City.
Treasurer Sullivan reported on PERSI workshops being held September 16th & 18th if anyone
was interested in learning more about their retirement.
Last month's action item regarding code for Designating Depository, Title 1, Chapter 13, Section
10 was being reviewed by Attorney Storer.
Mayor Andersen discussed roll with Ron Longmore, Bonneville County Clerk and the City can
take an additional $256,000 on property taxes due to the foregone amount.
Animal Control: Officer Key reported pickup of a Shiatsu on Main St today. She will be doing
Trunk or Treat and attending a Canine Defense class in Boise. One Non -Commercial Kennel
License is awaiting dog licenses on four animals. She feels her presence has been well received
in the area.
Council: Acting Mayor Walker would get back to Council regarding the possible purchase of
the Ralph Steele Property. The property could provide two new T-Ball Fields.
It was unknown if the Library Shelves had been completed due to the matching of the stain. It
was suggested the next time shelves were needed to include the stain mix in the bid.
Acting Mayor Walker spoke with Dixie Hunting regarding a possible dissolve of the Historical
Committee due to lack of interested volunteers and funds. Ms. Hunting wondered if the City
would be interested in purchasing the Historical Museum. Safety was a concern because permits
had never been pulled on work that had been done to the building. No benefits were seen other
than being a good neighbor. The committee needed a new chairman and members to revive it.
Iona Days went well and the free lunch was a hit. If the City were to continue with the free
lunch it was suggested to purchase some equipment or borrow from the Lion's Club.

Bonneville County Area of Impact Agreement/Area of Expansion: P&Z Member Hobbs
attended a work meeting with the City of Idaho Falls. They had denied IBSD's request for
expansion to better coincide with the City of Iona's proposed area of impact because there was
insufficient sewer trunk line capacity between IBSD and the Wastewater Treatment Plant. He
suggested two options: drop the size of the impact area; or keep the existing impact area.
Member Hobbs would attend a meeting with IBSD next week.
