Officer Basaraba went over the proposed ordinance changes for delinquent water bills. (See attached proposed amendment). Mayor Andersen asked if the City wanted to stay with forty (40) days from the past due date to start assessing delinquency charges. Officer Basaraba said that the forty days was chosen because of the past due date, which was the 20th of each month, 40 days would make the bill 2 months past due, and seventy (70) days past the due date would be 3 months past due at which point a list of those accounts would be given to Officer Basaraba and the water would be turned off. A disconnect, administration, and reconnect fee would be added and must be paid in full before water is turned back on. Council member McArthur asked if the extra fees would still apply if the people gave a payment to Zech when he went to turn the water off. Officer Basaraba said that the fees would still apply. Mayor Andersen said that the amendment needed to be given to the City attorney for a legal review and sanity check. Council member Gubler said that the City should wait to approve the amendments until the attorney completed his review, Mayor Andersen said that the City can make a motion to approve the attorney to review the proposal then after the attorney says that everything is alright, the City can then approve the ordinance. Officer Basaraba went over the proposed ordinance changes for the parking and storing of vehicles (See attached proposed amendment). After talking with Public Works Supervisor Prouse, Officer Basaraba would like to add no parking between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Monday through Friday from Thanksgiving to Easter Sunday for snow plowing purposes. Officer Basaraba would also like to implement a learning curve time to give people fair warning of the new ordinances before he writes any tickets. Mayor Andersen suggested putting the information in the newsletter. Council member McArthur stated concern with giving a person a warning and they still do not follow the ordinance. Officer Basaraba said that if someone has been given a warning and does not follow the ordinance, then he will issue a citation. Mayor Andersen noted that under Enforcement on Private Property the code should read 9:4:21, not 9:4:20. And on 9:4:22, Notice of Parking Violations, the City Council should be removed as authority to give notice of a violation and that the Mayor should be added. Mayor Andersen said that the Council's job is to create the legislation and the Police and Mayor enforce the legislation. Mayor Andersen entertained a motion to authorize the attorney to approve the proposed ordinance changes. Council member Gubler made a motion authorizing the attorney to review and approve the proposed ordinance changes. Council member Shaw seconded the motion. A11 were in favor. Motion carried.

Planning and zoning report Adrian Beazer had nothing new to report, but stated that he was concerned about the RV trailer that had parked at a home off of Iona Road. Mr. Beazer said that it looked like someone was living in the trailer.

Dave Radford introduced Michael Lloyd, a BYU intern and Paul Romrell, Fremont County Commissioner, they explained in more detail the process of cloud seeding regarding weather conditions and placement of the generators in the mountains that release silver iodide up into the clouds to produce more snow fall. Mayor Andersen commented that water is a scarce commodity and the importance of water. Mayor Andersen informed RC&D that the City can not commit to 5 years of support due to the fact that there may be a different council next year, so the City can only commit the existing council and the Mayor asked for time to talk the issue over and put it on next months agenda for approval. Mayor Andersen thanked the men for their time. Commissioner Radford asked if there were any other issues the City would like to discuss while he was there. Council member Gubler said that the City would like to increase police patrol to the City's impact area.

Also, the Mayor told Mr. Radford that the City wanted to increase its impact area and have a meeting to discuss the issue. Mr. Radford agreed in setting up a meeting. Safe routes to school Guy Bliesner, from school district #93 said that he and Paul Snarr had submitted, on the City of Iona's behalf, a letter of intent to apply for another safe routes to school grant, this one is based on the BMPO school study that was recently completed The would be used to change the speed limit signage on Iona Road in front of the school and add flashing lights. The approximate cost is about $32,000 and the letter of intent simply reserved the right to apply for the grant at a later time and that there is not a commitment to apply, only the opportunity. Guy Bliesner said that the City would be hearing from the school district this next week regarding the current safe routes to school grant. Mayor Andersen asked Guy to explain the process of the two grants and if 3 the City was required to match 50%. Mr. Bliesner said that both grants pay 100% of the funding through Federal money, but that the City would need to pay upfront and follow the federal purchasing guidelines, the infrastructure must also be tied to an education enhancement program and the City would be reimbursed 100% for the funds. Mayor Andersen said that the Council was concerned with the guidelines regarding the construction time frame, which was from the beginning of April to the end of June. Mr. Bliesner said that the City could file for an extension to finish the construction. Mayor Andersen asked about the amount of time it would time to be reimbursed for the money spent. Mr. Bliesner said that it typically took about 6 weeks. Mr. Bliesner said that the City could apply for reimbursement monthly based on the expenditures. Mr.Bliesner asked the Council to authorize juristiction for the school district to place a crossing guard in front of the school. Mr. Bliesner stated that if the crossing guard was hit by a car and the City of Iona had not authorized her to be there, then there could be liability issues involved. Mayor Andersen said that the crossing guard has been in the location of Dayton and Iona Rd. for years, Mr. Bliesner said that he was trying to clean up some of the outstanding issues for the school district. Mayor Andersen entertained a motion from the council to authorize jurisdiction to the school district.

All were in favor. Motion carried. Mr. Bliesner said that he would be meeting with Paul Snarr, along with the County Traffic Safety Committee, regarding the intersection of Free Ave. and 50th N.

Mr. Bliesner said that currently, the curve on 50th is averaging 38 miles per hour and the speed zone is 25 miles per hour. Mr. Bliesner said that the school district would be asking the City for its recommendation regarding the issue. Mayor Andersen said that the City was on board but was concerned with proper engineering. Mayor Andersen thanked Mr. Bliesner for his help and told him how much his help was appreciated with the safe routes to school projects. Mr. Bliesner said that he had just come from an emergency operations plan meeting with the school district and that when the district was finished, it would have the best radio communications system outside of public safety and there may be issue that in an emergency situation, the school district could benefit the City as well. City Clerk Keyes asked Mr. Bliesner if he needed a letter from the City authorizing jurisdiction, and he said a short letter would be acceptable. Adrian Beazer asked if part of the safe routes to school grant included walking paths on 55th. Mayor Andersen said that it would, along with walking paths on Iona Road down to the new church. Mayor Andersen said that one of his neighbors was letting the school children walk through the side of his yard from Camas Creek onto Walker Ave. and that the Mayor was going to talk to the homeowner to make sure that it is ok with him, and see if there is anything the City can do to help. Perhaps the homeowner would want to deed part of his property to the City and the City install a walking path. Reports Mayor Andersen thanked the Council for their efforts and said how much he appreciated everyone. 4 Public Works Supervisor Prouse gave his report.

Mayor Andersen asked Supervisor Prouse if he would help him with the annual road report.

Mayor Andersen told the Council that Mike Armstrong was asking the City to write a letter stating that a letter accepting Ashwood Acres into the City cannot be found regarding the Iona Bonneville Sewer District.

American Weather Consultants http://www.nawcinc.com/ Cloud seeding (also known as weather modification) is the deliberate treatment of certain clouds or cloud systems with the intent of affecting the precipitation process (es) within those clouds. Application of this technology is increasing world-wide. When did application of modern cloud seeding technology begin? Attempts to modify the weather have been conducted for centuries. However, modern cloud seeding dates from the late 1940's, springing from a discovery at the General Electric labs in Schenectady, New York in 1946. The ability of dry ice shavings to convert supercooled water droplets (those existing as water at temperatures colder than freezing) to ice crystals was observed during the conduct of an unrelated experiment. Later consideration of those observations led to a series of laboratory trials which demonstrated the nucleating properties of various materials in certain cold cloud conditions. Trials in the atmosphere soon followed, and operational cloud seeding programs began in about 1950. What are the most common applications of cloud seeding technology? The most common intended effects of cloud seeding include precipitation increase (rain and/or snow), fog dispersal (visibility improvement) and hail suppression. Of these, the majority of operational projects focus on precipitation increase. Is cloud seeding effective? 'Trials conducted by various researchers under laboratory conditions have documented the effects of cloud seeding materials. Numerous scientific experiments have been conducted to investigate/demonstrate the effects produced by cloud seeding in the atmosphere on various cloud types in a variety of climatic regions. Evaluations (usually statistical) have been made of many operational programs. The results of many of these efforts have been published in the scientific literature and in industry journals. Summarizing the collective evidence from the various studies and operational projects, Capability Statements have been published by the Weather Modification Association, the American Meteorological Society and the World Meteorological Organization. For precipitation augmentation, the accepted magnitude of increase to be expected from well -designed and properly conducted projects ranges from 5% to 20% for winter precipitation in continental regions and from 5% to 30% for coastal areas. For warm season precipitation increase, single -cloud experiments have indicated increases as large as 100%. Area wide increases over a project area vary with the frequency of occurrence and spatial coverage of suitable cloud systems, plus the ability to treat all favorable clouds. Hail suppression effectiveness, based upon surface hail data, is estimated to be in the range of a 20-50% reduction. Who conducts cloud seeding activities? The large majority of cloud seeding projects are conducted by a handful of highly specialized commercial firms, working under contract to a variety of sponsors. Some water agencies and hydroelectric power generation companies conduct their own programs. Researchers continue to conduct occasional trials within carefully designed and controlled experimental projects, striving to better understand the various in -cloud effects of cloud seeding, and to refine quantitative estimates of cloud seeding effectiveness. Who are the most common sponsors of cloud seeding projects? The most common sponsors of cloud seeding projects include water agencies, municipalities, and operators of hydroelectric power facilities, agricultural or ranching interests, airports and recreational interests such as ski areas. An increasing number of sponsors are incorporating cloud seeding as an integral part of their ongoing water resource management strategies. lcir'hy is cloud seeding so attractive to the increasing number of sponsors? Cloud seeding is a highly portable and flexible technology. It does not require construction of large, permanent and costly structures, such as dams or water conveyance systems. Projects can be mobilized quickly and operations can be regulated as water needs 1 Do the commonly used seeding materials pose any direct health or environmental risks? Many detailed studies have been conducted to address these questions. These efforts have ranged from chemistry -focused work to broad ranging environmental investigations. The bottom line is that no significant environmental effects have been observed. Seeding materials are applied in very small amounts relative to the size of the geographic areas being affected, so the concentrations of the seeding materials in rainwater or snow are very low. Using silver iodide (the most common seeding material) as an example, the typical concentration of silver in rainwater or snow from seeded cloud systems is less than 0.1 micrograms per liter. This is much below the U.S. Public Health Service=s stated acceptable concentration of 50 micrograms per liter. As another example, the concentration of iodine in rainwater from seeded clouds is far below the concentration found in common iodized table salt. Does cloud seeding rob Peter to pay Paul? The answer to this commonly -posed question is no. Of the total atmospheric moisture passing over any point, the proportion falling as natural precipitation is quite small, typically less than 10-15%. Cloud seeding -induced increases in precipitation of the order of 5-30% still results in a small overall proportion (<20%) of the total available moisture reaching the ground. Further, especially when cumuliform clouds are present, and over mountainous terrain where air is forced to rise, the cloud -bearing layer of the atmosphere undergoes nearly continuous moisture replenishment. Analyses of precipitation data from areas downwind of several cloud seeding projects have indicated small percentage precipitation increases extending as far as 100 miles downwind of the intended areas of effect on projects that had indications of increases in the intended target area. Are cloud seeding activities subject to regulation or control? In many jurisdictions, government agencies are responsible for regulation of cloud seeding in the public interest. These agencies commonly require licenses and/or permits for cloud seeding, to help assure that the projects are properly designed and that those conducting such operations are properly qualified. In the U.S., for example, nearly two-thirds of the fifty states have developed rules and regulations specific to cloud seeding activities. These regulatory groups generally also maintain records of cloud seeding activities. What does cloud seeding cost? The cost of cloud seeding varies greatly, depending on a large number of factors, such as which seeding methods and materials are appropriate to a specific application, the frequency of seedable conditions, the size of the intended area of effect and the duration of the project. Most cloud seeding projects carry favorable benefit/cost ratios, ranging over 20:1 in some cases. Cost questions are best addressed via direct discussion with a well qualified cloud seeding company/consultant. What does the future bold for the cloud seeding field and its sponsors? As water needs steadily increase worldwide, the demand for weather modification services will also increase. Focused research efforts will continue to yield incremental refinements to the technology. Sponsors will increasingly enjoy the benefits of cloud seeding at very attractive benefit/cost ratios, and a growing number of those sponsors will incorporate cloud seeding as an integral part of their ongoing water resource management strategies. How can I obtain more specific information? The Weather Modification Association (WMA) has produced a basic informational booklet, Weather Modification: Some Facts About Seeding Clouds. The WMA can be contacted at 559-434-3486 or via e-mail at wxmod@ix.netcom.com. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has published a comprehensive manual, Guidelines for Cloud Seeding to Augment Precipitation, which contains much useful information. The ASCE telephone number is 800-548-2723, and their web site is http://www.asce.org 3 Ground -based generators use a propane flame to vaporize the seeding solution, which is composed of silver iodide mixed in acetone. The vaporized silver iodide then re -crystallizes in the cold air, forming millions of tiny particles which are intended to serve as ice nuclei. The generators are positioned to maximize the number of silver iodide crystals that reach the critical regions of passing storms. 5 r 9-4-5: PARKING/STORING FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES PROHIBITED: (A) No person engaged in the acquisition or sale of vehicles shall park or place a motorized/non- motorized vehicle or any other item upon any street, alley, parkway, or city right of way for the purpose of selling or offering the same for sale or rent.

I believe we should change the parking on the roadway from Thanksgiving to Easter Sunday from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday, to assist Zech with plowing the city roadways, rather than making this all hours between Thanksgiving and Easter Sunday. This will also help with compliance by the citizens. OVERDUE WATER BILLS — I believe we should make this effective 30 days after the approval of this change. Everyone at the 70 day past due point shall have their water shut off and fees will begin to accrue 40 days after the approval of this bill as well. This will ensure universal compliance and give people a reasonable amount of time to be notified and pay their existing balances. CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS — Upon further review, I found that we can restrict these permits to almost anything we like and that is reasonable. I would suggest adding an expiration of 1 year to this permit and allow a renewal as long as nothing has changed from the initial Conditional Use Permit. I would then require a new renewal fee to be paid. This would help use to stay on top of the permits that are out there. SCHOOL SPEED ZONE — I talked to Guy Bleisner and he will be discussing with the school district on the 24th about the change in the location of the speed zones to the beginning of the school property. He will also be looking to have the flashing lights added to the signs in 2009 as soon as they get their 2009 funding for the safe routes to school grant. - 3 WAY INTERSECTION ON FREE — I've discussed this with Guy as well. I believe that intersection can be changed to a 3 way stop with minimal work. I have discussed this issue with Guy as being an issue that would be part of the Safe Routes to School Grant. He agreed and would be willing to work with me to figure out a way to try and make this work. If the council would like I will continue this work to try and accomplish this to become a 3 way stop. - WHERE DOES THIS CITY SEE ITS BOUNDARIES GOING? — This way I can look to expand the scope of my patrolling to help with enforcement issues and also help with revenue that will be created for the City of Iona while not just impacting the locals. I would then be dealing with the County to come up with an agreement on my boundaries to patrol. FUNDING TO INSTALL ALL EQUIPMENT — I've attached a copy of the 2 estimates to completely install all the equipment in the new Tahoe and install the decals on the outside of the Tahoe. I've picked the cheapest option for the decals, but this will suffice for our patrol car since the light bar is extremely bright and there are also headlight and taillight flashers on the Tahoe. Once this vehicle is equipped, I will begin to do enforcement around the City of Iona. - COMPANY TO BUY BACK OUR RADAR & VIDEO SYSTEM — The Radar Shop would be willing to buy the radar back for $100 and I am waiting on the dollar amount for the video system which should be more in the ballpark of $400-$500. LIFELOC FC20 BREATH TESTER — I am looking to become part of the Traffic Enforcement Mobilization Effort in the State of Idaho. This will allow me to work specific enforcement in our area (DUI, Seatbelts, Aggressive Driving) to insure safety. I can use this as an opportunity to purchase LIFELOC and/or other equipment necessary for enforcement. I can also use this as an option for overtime pay for Police Department Employees without costing the City of Iona money.

The sewer line needs to be approved and a bigger culvert needs to be inspected. Council member Cliff Long motioned to approve the work done now on the Ashwood Acreas, pending sewer line and culvert repairs are finished. Council member Susan Barnes seconded. All were in favor. No letter will be given until the improvements are made. A building permit for the manufactured home of Cliff Orchard going in on the Melendez lot was discussed. There is no garage at this time. They were asked to sketch in a garage on the house plans. Mayor Rockwood suggested adding to the Zoning law that a garage needs to be added not only to a manufactured home but to residential buildings. Two meetings were scheduled. A work meeting on Sept. 12th and our regular Council meeting on Sept. 20th. Council member Mike Klingler discussed the mosquito problem. A bigger pond has been discovered. Ways to spray it were discussed. Council member Cliff Long sent out the letters to the two citizens that are selling their homes and have potential rentals in them. Another citizen has two homes with rentals in them and the letter will be sent to him also. Council member Brad Andersen discussed the flag pole for the City and cross walk painted at the School. The Civil Defense Committee was discussed. Starting our Council meetings at 6:30 instead of 6:00 was discussed. The Council needs to pick up their mail periodically in their boxes at the City building. A communication tower was discussed. A company wants to put one on Jerry Hansen's property. The City will need to determine what restrictions will apply to communication towers within the City. The City may need to consider changing it's Zoning Ordinance. Council member Susan Barnes asked who was authorized to sign checks. The cards at the bank need to be updated. Kennel license was discussed. People are turning their dogs loose at night. Mayor Rockwood was wondering if the County could come out and pick the dogs up. He will check into it. Council member Susan Barnes motioned to adjourn.
