The Minutes from the April City Council Meeting were approved as amended. Council
member Clip Holverson motioned and Council member Scott Long seconded. All were
in favor.
Treasurer Ron Nelson went over the Financial Report and the Budget with the Mayor and
Council. Ron reported to the Council that we better be careful with the spending and not
go over.
The Planning and Zoning report was given by Brian Stutzman in the special meeting just
before this meeting where he reported on the research he did on impact fees.
Police Chief SanDee Knowles gave the Police Report. She reported on the training she
had received. She thanked the Mayor and Council for the basket of flowers she received
on her Mother's passing. Mayor Andersen recognized the work SanDee is doing to get
some of the yards cleaned up in Iona. Terry McNamara agrees that front yards need to be
cleaned up, but to leave back yards alone. He has old cars he restores as a hobby and he
feels it is none of the City's business to come into his back yard and dictate what his
hobbies can be with old cars. Mayor Andersen explained that the City is not trying to
force anyone. The City is just trying to clean up junk cars that have been sitting for
years.
Neal Grover discussed his plans to put a roof over the front entrance to his business. He
talked to the Planning and Zoning Commission and they approved his plans. The
Council and Mayor agreed that it would improve the appearance of the building. Council
member Dennis McArthur motioned to approve the plan and Council member Scott Long
seconded. Council member Clip Holverson had some further discussion about the plan
and the set backs from the street. Council member Dennis McArthur withdrew his
motion and the Council discussed the set backs. Council member Clip Holverson
motioned to approve the plan in accordance with the set backs. Council member Scott
Long seconded. All were in favor.

Mayor Andersen discussed the water update with the Development Company. A Public
Hearing needs to be held before we can close the water study. Mayor Andersen
explained the loan etc. that we can get for our water system. Mayor Andersen explained
that DEQ recommended we give our money to Ammon and then get us a Rural Block
Grant after July 1st next year and that way we will have time to educate our public.
Works Supervisor Zech Prouse gave his report. The Wilde Alley has been asphalted.
Work has started in the Rose Valley Addition. The walk way in the Cliff Long Park is
completed. Zech got a bid to resurface the pathway in the Square.
City Clerk Betty McKinlay gave her report. She got a count of who was going to the
AIC Conference in June so the registration form can be filled out.
Mayor Brad Andersen got a bid for an alarm system for the building. He is concerned for
the safety of Betty and the Library people in the building alone. Council member Clip
Holverson motioned to go ahead and get the system. Council member Dennis McArthur
seconded.
Mayor Andersen discussed the letter from Mike Schreier. Mike received a letter in
violation of the code. Mayor Andersen discussed the weeds in the City. Bonneville
County will cut them. Mayor would like to enforce the code and wants the Council's
support.
Council reports — Council member Scott Long said he likes the way the Grandstand looks
with the new roof. Council member Dennis McArthur also commented on how well the
bathrooms look. There were 8-10 loads of junk hauled out of the town on clean up day.
The turn out was good and hamburgers delicious.
Council member Clip Holverson discussed the Idaho Statute on piling up debris along the
ditches when they are cleaned out. He feels it needs to be hauled off and not stacked up.
Mayor Andersen discussed the fire district.
John Price discussed the monument that will be installed in front of the City building. It
will be ready to go by June 17th. Donation money was used for the rock. Mr. Price said
that it is time for fund raisers and suggested getting a chairman to chair the fund raisers.
The Lions Club paid for the plaque and crushed gravel. The statue cost is $40,000.00.
Council member Clip Holverson discussed a skate board park. Some kids had come to
the Council several years ago wanting a skate board park and Clip was wondering about
going forth with that idea.
Mayor Andersen talked to Kim Getsinger, about the trees in the City. Mr. Getsinger, is
knowledgeable about trees and reported that the trees are fine. The tree on the corner of
Dayton and Rockwood looks like a disease inhabits it and needs to be cut down.
Council member Scott Long motioned to adjourn. Council member Clip HoIverson
seconded. Time: 8:30.
