ABSENT: Council member Dennis McArthur. VISITORS: None. Reports. Supervisor Prouse said the well house for well #3 had been removed and progress was being made for reconstruction. The Supervisor asked if the Council wanted to purchase a new backhoe and if they did there was a two year payment option or they could pay it in full the first year. Mayor Andersen recommended spreading the payments over two years. Supervisor Prouse said a new backhoe was a good idea and a brand new one should last at least 25 years. Supervisor Prouse said street striping would begin soon. Police Chief Basaraba said he had given a copy of his preliminary budget to the Mayor and Treasurer for the next fiscal year. Clerk Keyes said she was still in the process of codifying the new ordinances. Council President Shaw, no report. Council member Gubler said the fire district signed an agreement with the Sheriff's department for fire protection, and the fire district was considering building a fire station near Rocky Mountain Middle School. Council member Case said the Historical Society was preparing to apply for another grant. Mayor Andersen said the Lion's Club was still trying to collect enough money to add one figure to the monument. President Shaw asked if the City could add something to the water bill asking people to donate for the project and sending the money with their water payment. Mayor Andersen asked the Council for ideas regarding new equipment for our existing park and possibilities for proposed parks. The Mayor said the cost of disc golf was $380 1 per hole. The Mayor also asked the Council to think about the idea of installing a pool or a small water park with play equipment and water squirting up from the ground. The Mayor and Council discussed the proposed land exchange with the LDS Church involving land in Mountain Ridge Estates and Church owned land behind the new LDS Church. The Council agreed to keep the land in Mountain Ridge Estates for a future park and discuss the possibility of purchasing the land behind the LDS Church for another future park. Mayor Andersen said he spoke with Ralph Steele about purchasing his property that the City had been maintaining. The Mayor said the City could no longer maintain the property for Mr. Steele and asked Mr. Steele is he was willing to donate the property for a senior center. Mayor Andersen said the City had been maintaining the property for Mr. Steele for several years. Mr. Steele said his children were executors of the land and they would contact the City with a reply. Mayor Andersen said the Youth Advisory Committee would be giving a report next month. Mayor Andersen asked the Council members to review the model ordinances he had from Ammon and Idaho Falls concerning child care regulations and asked Clerk Keyes to retrieve a copy of Idaho Falls' ordinance. The Mayor stressed the importance of adopting or creating a child care ordinance for the City. Council member Gubler asked what the status was for the dead-end on Barnes way and if Rockwell was going to either extend the road or make a cul-de-sac. Supervisor Prouse said he spoke to Rockwell, and they said they would not do anything to the road until that section was developed. The Supervisor said he would create a turn around area and Rockwell would be responsible for removing the area when they continue the road.
