CENTER

Jane Shaw, Dan Gubler, Treasurer Ron Nelson, Work Supervisor Zech Prouse, City

Mayor Brad Andersen brought the meeting to order. The pledge was led by Council
member Dennis McArthur.
Bill Torngren explained that he would like to build a home on 55 East between his home
and his Mom's home. They are purchasing 10 acres from his Mom. They have some
sons that would like to raise some horses and cows. They were wondering about getting
City water without being annexed into the City. He was wondering if there would be
limitations on livestock if they had to annex. He would use domestic water but have one
watering trough. Bill would want one hook up for his home and one for the coral. The
problem is with letting people hook up to City water, once people get the water they do
not want to be annexed in and they get upset if they are forced to annex. The Mayor said
our attorney has advised the City not to let people hook up to City water without being
annexed into the City. Bill said if they buy ten acres they can have 20 head, but his son
would like to have cows etc. and Bill hates to see them loose something if they annex
now. The Council discussed the annexing and zoning. The Mayor would like to confirm
with our attorney that everything they are telling Bill is correct. Bill said they would put
a bridge across. The Planning and Zoning would have to look at the bridge if Bill's
property was annexed. If Bill decides to be annexed in he would have to go before the
Planning and Zoning. The Mayor said he would talk to our attorney and get back to Bill.
The Mayor said that a 4-H group led by Doug Barnard and his wife would like to use our
building to meet once a month until the end of May. They are a non-profit organization.
The Mayor's recommendation is if there is not anything scheduled for the building with
people that pay, than the non profit groups can use it. The Council approved. The 4-H
group is willing to do a service project.
The Consent Agenda was viewed. The Minutes were viewed and corrections made. The
Expense and Financial Report were viewed and discussed. Council member Steve Elliott
motioned to approve the Consent Agenda and Council member Dan Gubler seconded.
All were in favor. Motion carried.
Council member Dennis McArthur gave an up date on the pioneer monument. The
committee felt it would be best to wait until spring to have a fund raiser. Some of the
families whose names are on the plaque the committee would like to see if they would
donate. The Lions Club and the Library are remodeling the old Relief Society room
downstairs. The Mayor is looking into having the interne installed and moving the TV
down to the room and using it as a multipurpose room. 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning, Feb.
23rd the Lions and Library and anyone else who would like to come are working on the
room. The committee would like to see if some of the families whose names are on the
monument plaque would like to donate to the monument fund.
Council member Dan Gubler reported on the metro fire proposal. Representatives from
Iona, Ucon, Ammon and Idaho Falls attended. We contract with the City of Idaho Falls
for fire service. Dan discussed the possibility of putting new fire stations in different
areas of the County. Dan and the Mayor thought it was a positive meeting.
Adrian Beazer reported on the Valentine's Day Dance that was held Friday, Feb. 15th
The City will donate $500 to help with expenses. The next dance will be in April or May.
Adrian reported on the P/Z Commission. Kurt Hibbert will have the final draft of the
Comprehensive Plan in a few weeks. A couple of maps needed to be included.
Brian Stutzman, member of the P/Z Commission, has a telephone company and he is
putting a proposal together for a new phone system for the office and the Library and the
council room so we can have conference calls during our meetings etc.
Water connection fees were discussed. The Development Company and engineering
company has recommended that we increase our connection fees. The council agreed to
raise the fee as follows:
1" - $3,000.00
1.5" - $4,500.00
2" - $6,000.00
4" - $18,000.00
6" - $45,000.00
1" through 2" we raised 2.5 times of what it was before. 4" through 6" we raised 2 times
what it was before. Council member Dennis McArthur motioned to approve the
connection fees as stated above and Council member Steve Elliott seconded. All were in
favor. Motion carried. Council member Dennis McArthur amended the motion to go
into effect April 1st, 2008. Council member Steve Elliott seconded. All were in favor.
Motion carried.
The Mayor had Kirt Schwieder introduce his Scout Troop.
Work Supervisor Zech Prouse gave his report. He passed around the notice that was in
the paper advertising the sale of equipment. Zech discussed the projects coming up this
year such as the roads and patching the potholes and the bike path in the park. Zech
discussed the street valve at the school and replacing it and he discussed the bridge on
Rockwood. It is washing out. The Mayor asked Zech to get a bid for the bridge on
Rockwood and also on the one for Bill Torngren on 55 East.
Mayor Andersen read a thank you note to Zech from Carolyn Cheshire on the great job
he has done in removing snow.
City Clerk had no report to give.
Treasurer Ron Nelson is nervous about the Easter Egg Hunt. We still have a lot of snow
and Easter is only four weeks away. Ron felt he would wait a couple of more weeks and
then decided what to do. Tammy Nelson is Chairman for this year. She needs someone
to help that will take over next year.
The Mayor discussed the availability of our attorney to attend our meetings or to
conference call him. The Mayor recommended the attorney be on call from 7:00 to 8:00
p.m. This was approved by the Council.
The Mayor discussed having Paul Scoresby from Schiess and Associates help us out with
bike paths and subdivisions and development plans to make sure we are not missing
something. Keller Associates is okay with him doing that. The Mayor also asked Paul to
be on the BMPO Technical Committee. He represents Ucon and Ririe. This was
approved by the Council.
The Mayor mentioned that a water meeting will be held next Tuesday, Feb. 26th at 5:45
p.m.
The Mayor discussed the water bond and the water tank. The Mayor presented a handout
for a variable frequency drive pump. The Mayor asked what Keller is doing for us.
Council member Dan Gubler asked the same question. The Mayor will talk to Keller and
see what they are going to do for us and what they are going to provide. The Mayor
encouraged the Council to come to the water meeting next Tuesday.
Council reports: Dennis McArthur discussed the tree trimming project and that there is
still wood that people could get if they wanted it.
Adrian Beazer mentioned to Greg Oram about the police officer vacancy. Greg might be
interested in the job.
Council member Steve Elliott reported on the Historical Committee. The Committee is
trying to get an independent charitable corporation and Dale Storer is going to help the
Committee do that. He is volunteering his time. The Committee is also establishing a tax
exempt and Jerry Sproul is helping with that. The Committee is getting a Board of
Directors. Steve asked if Zech could clean up in front of the Old Tithing House. Zech
said he would.
Council member Jane Shaw and Dan Gubler had nothing to report.
Council member Steve Elliott motioned to adjourn. Council member Dan Gubler
seconded. Time: 8:15 p.m.
