Mayor Andersen welcomed everyone and Council member Shaw led with the Pledge of
Allegiance.
Previous action items. Mayor Andersen asked Supervisor Prouse if Wheeler Electric
had contacted him regarding the electrical work for the library. Supervisor Prouse said
the estimate they gave him was $600 for the circuit breaker and approximately $3,000 to
install an electrical panel. Mayor Andersen said the City had budgeted $2,000 for the
library, and asked Council member Shaw for her advice as to which work should be done
first. Council member Shaw said she would have to look at the items in question. The
Mayor asked Supervisor Prouse to contact Wheeler Electric and work toward a solution
that is within the budget. Mayor Andersen said Wheeler had a fundraiser in June that
could possibly help with the expense.
Mayor Andersen asked Council member Shaw for the status of the electrical meter for the
welcome monument. Council member Shaw said she was still working on gathering cost
information, and she would begin working on the project soon.
Mayor Andersen said he had spoken with Joel Keyes regarding upgrading the sound
system in the council room. The Mayor asked the Council if they wanted to concentrate
on building a rostrum, add acoustic panels throughout the room, and add speakers.
Council member Gubler said that was probably the best option since the Council did not
want to compromise the historical integrity of the room by adding a drop ceiling. The
Mayor and Council agreed. Council member Gubler said a new sound system was not
necessary, just a few more speakers and a mixer for the speakers. The Council approved
the changes discussed.
Mayor Andersen said he had not heard if Rockwell had posted a no trespassing sign on
the land the motorcycles were riding on. The Mayor also said he had not received
anymore complaints about ATV's or motorcycles, and that he had sent letters to some of
the developers regarding weed abatement. Supervisor Prouse asked the Mayor if he was
going to send letters to Tallman's and Rockwell's. The Mayor said he would.
The Mayor said spring clean-up was successful, and on Arbor Day four trees were
planted using grant money. The trees planted were two mountain ash behind the City

Council members Elliott and Gubler said they had received several calls from citizens
against the issue. Council member Elliott said he was concerned with effective
enforcement with animal control.
The Mayor asked the Council if they were in favor of gathering more information
through a survey and revisiting the issue with a public hearing at July's Council meeting.
The Council was in favor of the idea.
Mayor Andersen thanked the people for their input and said the Council was genuinely
trying to gather information to make a decision that would benefit the majority of the
citizens.
Public hearing 7:35 Call conditional use permit. See appendix A.
Keller and Associates report on water tank. Jeff Freiberg from Keller and Associates
gave his report on the inspection of the City's water tank. Mr. Freiberg said the overall
condition of the tank was good. The interior was sound with very few cracks, and the
underside of the roof was in good condition. The interior floor joint and seal had a leak.
The interior ladder was usable, and the exterior roof had a crack, but was ok. The roof
vent needed to be smaller. There were no visible severe exterior cracks in the walls. The
access hatch was not water tight. The recommendations Mr. Freiberg made were to seal
the leak in the floor, seal the existing hatch and install a second hatch. The estimated cost
of the repairs was $44,000. Mr. Freiberg suggested considering the upgrade of the tank
from 500,000 gallons to the projected use of 750,000 gallons. Mr. Frieberg said the City
could enlarge the existing tank, or add a new reservoir next to the existing tank. Mr.
Freiberg suggested a dry inspection of the tank every five years.
Supervisor Prouse asked how many years the repairs would stretch the use of the tank.
Mr. Freiberg estimated another 20 years.
Council member Gubler was in favor of rehabilitating the tank, but he was not in favor of
extending the capacity of the existing tank.
Council member Elliott asked how much property the City owned where the existing tank
sat. Mayor Andersen said not much, and he had talked with the family who owned the
property up there regarding purchasing more. At the time he spoke with them, they were
not interested in selling any property. The Mayor said he would visit with the family
again.
Mayor Andersen read a letter from DEQ regarding low interest loans for water projects.
Council President McArthur asked if the water rate increase would cover the cost of the
rehabilitation of the tank. The Mayor said it would.
Council member Gubler was in favor of rehabilitating the tank, and then expanding the
capacity at a later date.
Council President McArthur asked what the cost would be to rehabilitate well house #3.
There was not an answer.
Council President McArthur and Council member Elliott said they were in favor of the
loan from DEQ.
Council member Gubler said perhaps the City could actively pursue acquiring more land
within the next year for another tank and save money by rehabilitating the existing tank
using in house right away.

Council member Elliott asked how long it would take to seal the tank. The answer was 30
days.
The Mayor said the City would solicit bids for the repairs.
The Council approved the recommended repairs and rehabilitation of the tank and well
house #3. The Council asked Keller and Associates to oversee the project.
Council member Gubler asked if the tank repairs would effect the budget changes. The
Mayor said it would a little.
Council President McArthur asked Supervisor Prouse how much money should be left in
savings. Supervisor Prouse said it was difficult to guess. If the City needed water main
repair it could be costly. Treasurer Nelson said there was $50,000 in saving reserves.
Mr. Freiberg thanked Supervisor Prouse for the preparation he did regarding the tank
inspection.
Police Chief report. Chief Basaraba said everything was going good, and his stats are
down because people are slowing down and buckling up. The Chief said the City
employees were doing a fitness test every 6 months beginning next week as a means of
staying healthy and keeping insurance costs down. The Mayor said he wanted to meet
with the City employees next week.
Council President McArthur requested a short recess so everyone could take a break.
Recess 8:50
Re -adjourned 8:57
Water issues. Mayor Andersen explained to the Council that on occasion the Public
Works Supervisor can not shut off the water to a delinquent water account because the
valve is stuck. The Mayor asked the Council if they still wanted to access shut off fees in
those circumstances, if the Council wanted to keep the shut off fees the amount they
were. The Council agreed to access the fees even if the water could not be physically shut
off and to leave the fees at the rate they were.
Iona Days. The Mayor asked if the Council wanted to serve Dutch oven chicken again,
they did, and servers needed to be procured to help serve the dinners. Council member
Elliott would oversee the entertainment, Council member Gubler would oversee the set
up, and Council President McArthur would oversee the Saturday activities.
Council member Gubler said he had received a donation of speakers that valued over
$10,000, but the speakers needed a mixer in order to work. Council member Gubler said
he would work with Joel Keyes for set up. The Council approved the purchase of a mixer.
Safe Routes to School. The Mayor said he was working with Guy Bleisner regarding the
Safe Routes to School grant. They would begin the non -infrastructure education project
in August, and the infrastructure project after the new fiscal year in October.
Reports.
Supervisor Prouse gave his report. He said water usage was above normal for this time of
year. He asked Clerk Keyes to remind people in the newsletter not to leave water
6
standing to avoid mosquito problems, and to be mindful of their overall water
consumption. Supervisor Prouse said asphalt patching was complete except in Ashwood
Acres, which would be completed soon. The streets had been swept. Three fire hydrants
had been replaced, and the irrigation system was on. Mayor Andersen said he learned
about a new system for backflow prevention in fire hydrants. Instead of replacing the
entire fire hydrant, a canister could be placed in the hydrant that would serve as backflow
prevention, and the cost is typically $400 if the City installed the canisters. Council
member Gubler said the fire district was requiring all new construction hydrants to have a
reflective pole installed for identification purposes in the winter.
Supervisor Prouse said he had a price locked in for seal coating the street, and the price
was close to last year's cost, roughly $31,000. Supervisor Prouse said he would begin the
project at the beginning of August and the streets being seal coated would include parts
of Rushton, down Olsen, and Free, and along the new part of Scoresby, Ashwood, and
Dayton.
Supervisor Prouse said he attended a road maintenance workshop and learned that
garbage trucks cause rapid deterioration to the roads. Mayor Andersen said that was
valuable information.
Council President McArthur asked about standing water on some of the roads and
drainage issues in the easements. Supervisor Prouse suggested the City could look into
water reclamation. Mayor Andersen agreed.
Clerk's report. Clerk Keyes asked if the City or the Lions Club wanted the pool table in
the multipurpose room. The Council agreed they did not want the pool table. Clerk Keyes
said she would talk to the Historical Society to see if they wanted to sell it in their yard
sale and the money would be donated to the Historical Society.
Mayor Andersen asked if Clerk Keyes had coordinated with the building inspector
regarding certificate of occupancy and inspection reports. Clerk Keyes said she had and
would ask for the reports for all of the permits on file.
Mayor's report. The Mayor said Planning and Zoning was beginning to draft a
windmill ordinance. Mayor Andersen agreed with Planning and Zoning that the public
right-of-way by utilities was not a land use issue, but rather an issue for the Council.
Mayor Andersen said the attorney confirmed the City could charge a usage fee. Council
member Gubler stated concern with a lack of notification from the companies using the
right -of way.
The Mayor asked Council member Elliott if he had obtained a light pole for the park, he
said he had, and he could get more if necessary. Mayor Andersen said Allen Hansen
offered to help repair the drinking fountain in the park. Supervisor Prouse said he was
looking at a more durable fountain that was ADA certified.
Mayor Andersen asked the Council for their opinion regarding people using old box truck
trailers with a company logo as storage on their property. The council agreed to discus
the issue with the code officer.
Council President McArthur's report. Council President McArthur stated his concern
with vandalism usually caused by people in the park after dark. Council member Elliott
said many people walk after dark in the park. Mayor Andersen said some kids play
7
ultimate Frisbee, and agreed that the curfew should be enforced on juveniles in the park.
Council President McArthur said many cities he visited closed its parks at night. Council
member Shaw and Elliott were concerned with policing the area if the City did close the
park. Council President McArthur said there were some kids causing trouble in the park
at nights. Supervisor Prouse said he still had the neighborhood watch signs if someone in
the neighborhood wanted to start the program back up. Council member Elliott suggested
leaving the lights on all night. Mayor Andersen said that is why he was asking about the
light pole, he was interested in installing more lights. Supervisor Prouse agreed with
more lights and possibly installing vandalism proof motion detectors in the shelters and
by the bathrooms. Mayor Andersen said he would talk to the attorney for advice on the
subject, and ask Chief Basaraba to increase patrol around the park during the summer.
Council member Elliott's report. Council member Elliott said the museum committee
was having an auction and yard sale this weekend, and asked everyone that was
interested in donating items to take those items to the museum.
Council member Elliott was concerned with the dandelions and recommended the City
spray the easements. Supervisor Prouse said he had sprayed some of the big, fire hazard
areas already.
Council member Shaw had no further report.
Council member Gubler had no further report.
Council member Elliott made a motion to adjourn. Council member Shaw seconded the
motion. All were in favor.
Adjourned 9:41 p.m.

Appendix A
Public hearing 7:35 Call conditional use permit.
PRESENT: Mayor Brad Andersen, Council President Dennis McArthur, Council
member Steve Elliott, Council member Jane Shaw, Council member Dan Gubler,
Treasurer Ron Nelson, Public Works Supervisor Zech Prouse, Police Chief Shannon
Basaraba, City Clerk Robyn Keyes.
VISITORS: Sally Price, Jeff Freiberg, Adrian Beazer, Barbara Shreier, Michael Shreier.
Mayor Andersen welcomed everyone and explained the procedure for a public hearing.
Mayor Andersen explained that Larry and Terry Call were requesting a conditional use
permit to allow them to conduct minor vehicle repair, and temporarily store vehicles for
salvage on their property no longer than 15 days at a time. The Call's property was
located at 2796 N. 50 E. Iona, Idaho.
Mayor Andersen read the minutes from the Call public hearing with Planning and Zoning
on May 13. Mayor Andersen asked Clerk Keyes to enter into the minutes that the Call's
neighbor, Mrs. Powell, called and said she was in favor of the Call's request, and they
had a tidy yard, and they were nice people.
Mayor Andersen asked the Call's if they would like to make any comments. Mr. Call said
they would keep the area maintained and they would only operate the repair shop from
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Mr. Call said they would not leave the
vehicles they were working on in the driveway and would store them in the shop. Mr.
Call said their livlyhood depended upon their business.
Mayor Andersen asked if the vehicles they were working on were separate from the
vehicles they towed in for salvage. They said they were separate, the salvage vehicles
were only stored temporarily until moved to the salvage yard.
Mayor Andersen asked if anyone that was in favor of the request would like to speak.
Mrs. Shreier said she was in favor of their request, and the Call's kept their yard nice and
clean. Mr. Shreier said he was in favor of their request since they depended upon the
business as income.
Mayor Andersen asked if anyone neutral would like to speak, no one did.
Mayor Andersen asked if anyone against the request would like to speak, no one did.
Mayor Andersen asked the Call's if they had any further comments. Mr. Call said they
would like to help the community by hauling away any old appliances or vehicles.
9
Mayor Andersen closed the public portion of the hearing opened the hearing up for
discussion with the Council.
Mayor Andersen said he was concerned with the vehicle repair business generating too
much traffic in the area. Mr. Call said they would not advertise for business and their
clients were people they already knew.
Council member Elliott asked what type of vehicle repair they did, and how many
customers per day the Call's estimated they would have. Mr. Call said they did oil
changes, tunes-up's, and they specialized in brake repair. Mr. Call estimated they would
have one or two customers per day.
Council member Shaw said she drives by their property everyday and it was always neat
and clean. She was in favor of their request.
Council President McArthur is in favor of Planning and Zoning's recommendation
however, he was concerned about the total number of vehicles that could accumulate on
the property. President McArthur asked if they could tag the vehicles as they received
them as a means of controlling how long they have been there. Mr. Call said they will
keep the vehicles behind a fence and they will not be seen from the road.
Council member Gubler has the same concern as President McArthur regarding total
number of cars and suggested a limit.
Council member Shaw said a limit of 15 vehicles was recommended by Planning and
Zoning. Chief Basaraba said that number was for the vehicles that were stored and being
repaired, and that did not include their personal vehicles.
Council member Elliott suggested a periodic inspection by the Code Officer.
Chief Basaraba suggested the Council determined an appropriate total number of vehicles
allowed on the property that would include business and personal vehicles.
Mayor Andersen asked the Call's if 15 total vehicles would be alright with them. Mr.
Call said it would, and they would just remove the salvage vehicles more often.
Council member Gubler said he agreed to 15 total vehicles and no commercial
advertising.
Mayor Andersen reiterated the conditions requested by the Council members, which
were; only 15 vehicles at a time for no more than 15 days at a time, conditional use
permit would be revisited in one year, any condition not followed could result in
revoking the permit, no advertising, a business license must be maintained, hours of
operation are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, the business may not be
expanded, and the permit was for the Call's only.
Mayor Andersen entertained a motion from the Council.

Terry and Larry Call with the following conditions; only 15 vehicles at a time for no
more than 15 days at a time, conditional use permit will be revisited in one year, any

Mayors Youth Advisory Council
Mayor's Youth Advisory Council Report
AREVA Educational Experience in France
April 2, 2009
At any given point in history, there are some subjects more important than others. One of the
primary issues facing us today is the question of where we will draw our energy from in the future.
There are hundreds of factors that contribute to the decision of which energy sources to use. As the
Mayor's Youth Advisory Council, we feel that nuclear energy is among the best options to meet the
growing demand for clean energy. For this reason, during the recent Nuclear Regulatory
Commission meeting in Idaho Falls we expressed our support for AREVA's Eagle Rock Enrichment
Facility and the important contribution it will provide to nuclear energy in the United States. At this
time, we would like to express our continuing support of this facility and urge our community to do
the same.
Last week, twenty members of our Council flew to France and toured the Georges Besse II
Enrichment Plant. This facility is nearly identical to the proposed Eagle Rock Enrichment Facility,
with a few minor differences. For example, the Eagle Rock facility will have slightly lower air
emissions, slightly lower water consumption and include a sloped roof while the Georges Besse II
facility has a flat roof. These minor differences, however, will make the Eagle Rock facility an even
more environmentally friendly plant.
After touring the Georges Besse II plant, we can safely say that the Eagle Rock Facility will
be neither dangerous nor insecure. The measures taken to ensure that no one with any sort of
malicious intent entered the plant were impressive, as were the techniques employed to ensure that
the building would survive even the most extreme environmental conditions. The construction of the
plant was carefully engineered to see that no matter what may happen, be it flood or earthquake or
anything else, the plant will not become dangerous to the surrounding environment or community.
While these added safety measures were impressive, they did not affect the physical
appearance of the plant. At the Eagle Rock facility, there will be none of the intimidating structures
traditionally associated with nuclear energy. No cooling towers, no tall stacks, no nuclear reactors,
-1-
and no massive columns of steam. Instead, there will simply be a building complex, with few
recognizable differences from the hundreds of other buildings we see every day. Not only was the
Georges Besse II plant remarkably good-looking, but also the construction site was remarkably
clean, with none of the usual trash, construction scraps and sawdust. The cleanliness of the site not
only added to the physical appearance of the plant, but also decreased the environmental impact and
the risk of mistakes being made during construction. Regardless of the fact that the main building
will be quite large, it will still be pleasant to look at, and will have less visual impact than most
structures.
Appearance is only one among several concerns that have been expressed in regard to the
Eagle Rock Facility. Another issue which has received attention is the amount of water necessary to
run a nuclear facility. Previous nuclear technologies did require large amounts of water. The
centrifuge technology employed in this facility will not. The expected annual water usage of the
Eagle Rock facility is comparable to the amount of water normally required to irrigate a golf course
for a year, and is around one fiftieth that of the previously used enrichment technology. This is
certainly a lesser amount than we had expected would be needed for such a large facility.
One point which we feel is important to understand is that this facility is not a nuclear
reactor. Rather, it is simply one step in the process of preparing natural uranium to be used in a
nuclear reactor. The Eagle Rock facility will not actually involve nuclear fission in any way. It won't
even involve pure uranium, but rather will use uranium hexafluoride. So while it is still nuclear
technology, it's an enrichment facility, not a reactor.
The United States has a continually growing need for energy, and it is becoming increasingly
difficult to meet this need. Some analysts are predicting that by 2020, the United States will be
unable to produce enough enriched uranium to meet its own demand for nuclear fuel. The Eagle
Rock facility will be used to supply 25% of the needed enriched uranium, and thus will decrease the
amount of uranium that has to be imported, resulting in a more energy -independent United States.
We recognize that for many of you, the concerns that you have expressed are not with the
enrichment plant and its operation but rather with the competence of the company that will be
running it. We as a Council shared your concerns, and have met with several AREVA officials to
discuss how they would handle the project in Eastern Idaho. We were very impressed with their
policies, and feel that they will provide reliable operation of plant facilities and will effectively
- 2 -
execute the rigorous requirements of constructing and operating a nuclear facility. We believe, from
what we have seen, that they will take great care every step of the way, just as they have in every
step up to this point, even as far back as the selection of the site.
AREVA follows a business model which they call Sustainable Development and Continuous
Improvement. For a project to be considered, it must be possible for AREVA to implement the
project with little environmental impact and with benefit to the community around it while still
maintaining a profit. Any project must be guided by principles of sustainable development, which, as
defined by G.H. Brundtland and most organizations, is "development which meets the needs of the
current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs"
We feel that this model of business, along with the precautions taken during construction and the
various surveys being done to minimize environmental impact, shows that AREVA is committed to
serving the community, and not just their own needs. Their sense of responsibility to the community
and to the environment has led our Council to look forward to a long-standing relationship with
them.
To further verify our feelings regarding AREVA's capabilities as well as the potential impact
of this facility on our community, we visited a nearby French community called Pierrelatte and met
with students from a local high school to discuss the impact AREVA had on their community. They
described the positive effect AREVA had in creating jobs and stability in a time of unrest. They also
talked about the services the Tricastin site had supplied to their city, including heating buildings and
supplying hot water. We found it significant that the Tricastin site includes four nuclear reactors and
two enrichment facilities, and it sits on the banks of the Rhone, an important river in France,
completely surrounded by residential areas. We were told the citizens of Pierrelatte were not overly
concerned about the plant because they have never had any serious problems resulting from the site.
We were impressed with the transparency and openness of AREVA in telling the community what
was happening within their company. Based on the knowledge we have gained in this educational
visit, it is this Council's opinion that the Eagle Rock facility will greatly benefit our community,
with few, if any ill effects.
We would like to express the feeling of pride we have in our community, and how honored
we are that of all the sites AREVA was considering for this facility, they chose Idaho Falls. We urge
anyone with questions about this plant and anything related to it to feel free to ask any member of
the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council. We are excited about both the direct and indirect positive
- 3 -
impacts this project will have on our community and hope that you share our enthusiasm and support
for this project.
