AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER PRESENT: Mayor Brad Andersen, Council members Scott Long, Steve Elliott, Clip Holverson, (Dennis McArthur was out of town), Work Supervisor Zech Prouse, Treasurer Ron Nelson, City Clerk Betty McKinlay, Police Chief SanDee Knowles. VISITORS: Adrian Beazer, Lin Longhusrt, Mary French, Darlene DeSomer, Todd Olsen, Paul Olsen, Beth Olsen, Neil Grover, Jerry Hansen, Louise Bryan, Don Andersen, Barbara Schrier, Mike Schreier, Dale Steele, Robert and Jean Koepplin, Dan Gubler Mayor Andersen called the meeting to order and welcomed everyone. The pledge was led by Council member Clip Holverson. First item of business on the agenda was Lin Longhurst. She has a horse that has trouble breathing and if she waters down the pasture where the horse eats, the horse can breathe better. It takes Lin about an hour each week to water and she uses a rain bird sprinkler. The Council agreed that it would be okay for her to water the pasture as long as she uses the rain bird sprinkler and only sprinkles once a week. Neil Grover asked the Council why he was asked to stop on the remodeling of the entrance to his business on Owens. P & Z had approved his plan and he came to Council meeting last month and it was approved according to set backs. There is some discrepancy in his set back. His business faces a county road and the county requires a different set back than the City of Iona. P & Z Chairman, Jerry Hansen said he would do some research on it and help Neil out. Todd Olsen asked the Council if he could set up a manufactured home on his grandmother, Beth Olsen's property on Iona Road. Mrs. Olsen has two water lines and he would like to hook into one. It would be temporary, maybe three years just while he finishes school. Council member Scott Long asked if they would consider being annexed into the City. Council member Clip Holverson said he had visited with several people outside the City that are on City water and some would like to be annexed and some not. He had not visited with Mrs. Olsen. The Council discussed the issue. It was decided that Work Supervisor Zech Prouse will go look at the water connections. Council member Scott Long will visit with our Attorney Dale Storer to see if we need to issue a Conditional Use Permit. The Council reviewed the Minutes from the previous meeting. Council member Scott Long motioned to approve the Minutes from the Special Meeting and the Council Meeting last month. Council member Steve Elliott seconded. All were in favor. Treasurer Ron Nelson led the discussion on the Monthly Expense Report. Council member Scott Long motioned to approve the report and Council member Steve Elliott seconded. All were in favor. The Council discussed the Finance Report and the delinquent water list. Work Supervisor Zech Prouse was praised for the work he has done getting the delinquent water list down. P & Z Chairman Jerry Hansen gave his report. He discussed the trashed yard on Hansen and discussed the impact area. Dan Gubler, newly appointed Fire Commissioner discussed the fire on the hill last night. It is still burning but out of danger. Police Chief SanDee Knowles gave her report. She is trying to get people to call dispatch when she is not working instead of waiting when there is a problem. SanDee is addressing the trashed yard on Hansen. Darlene DeSomer asked if the NO SKATE BOARDING sign was down. She has seen kids skate boarding down the steps. Kids need to go somewhere, but they are breaking the steps skating down them. Don Andersen discussed the traffic on 55th and vandalism in the park. Barbara Schreier asked if anything was being done about the mosquitoes. Work Supervisor Zech Prouse is treating the ponds. Dale Steele wants to build a shop in his back yard and move the set back closer to his property line. The Council told him he would need to go to P & Z to see if they sill LL - 9 approve the variance and then pay the Variance fee. Adrian Beazer complimented Work Supervisor Zech Prouse for how nice the City compound looked on the corner of Dayton and Rockwood. Mayor Andersen also thanked Zech and praised him for the fine work he is doing. Dan Gubler said he has a backhoe and would be willing to help out anytime the City needed help. Iona Days was discussed. Council member Steve Elliott is in charge of Iona Days. He has Bubba's Bar-B-Que catering the dinner on Friday, July 20th, and we are serving ice cream from Reed's Dairy. There will be entertainment. Steve said he just needs people to help serve and set up tables. Mayor Andersen and Council member Clip Holverson reported on the AIC Conference they attend in Coeur d' Alene last week. The Water Study was discussed. Mayor Andersen said DEQ and the Development Company said the Mayor needs to write a letter to close the project. There are a few steps we need to go through to close out the project. Mayor Andersen said there is enough water for Iona. Council member Clip Holverson asked if we have enough pressure with the tank we have, and we do. Clip thinks $1200 for a hook up fee is not enough. The Mayor said we are looking at the increasing fee. Louise Bryan asked if we are going to water meters. She is concerned. She will let her yard burn before she pays $100 for water. Mayor Andersen said meters are on the bottom of the list. They are not a high priority at this as long as people conserve water use. Mayor Andersen and Work Supervisor Zech Prouse said we are looking at alternative ways to use the canal water to irrigate. The Church, School and Park will convert to ditch water. Louise Bryan asked what the rule was for watering. The Council said there is no watering over night. The best time to water is early in the morning until 10:00 a.m. and then evening until 10:00 p.m. Mayor Andersen said that Iona's annual Water Quality Report is available at the office. Work Supervisor Zech Prouse gave his report. He walked through Homer Estates 2 & 3 and conditionally approved it. The City still needs something in writing about the storm water drainage before it is officially approved. A part on the swing in the Park need to be replaced and he asked if he could get the part to replace the swing. A leak in the water line on Hansen was discussed. It is on the citizen's property and their responsibility to fix it. They have had plenty of time to get it fixed. The Council agreed to give the people a notice and if no action was taken to shut off their water. City Clerk Betty McKinlay gave her report. The History Committee and the Gem Committee are working together to get historical pictures in the City building about Iona. An alarm system has been installed in the building. Betty asked about the Subdivision Fees. It was not passed last month. Mayor Andersen said our Attorney Dale Storer is working on the Code Book and should have it completed next week. The Mayor said that we should have a Resolution instead of always updating our Code Book. Mayor Andersen discussed the letter he had received from Mr. John Battin concerning an alley way between Edna Gerard and Eliza Porter's that he would like deeded to him. The Council suggested that P & Z look at it. City Clerk Betty McKinlay had put a note that came with Kelly and Heidi Knighton's water bill in Mayor Andersen's box. Mayor Andersen asked Police Chief SanDee Knowles to listen. They thanked the City for taking care of the dogs in Iona. They appreciated it. Council member Scott Long reported on the fire inspection. Dan Gubler answered some of the questions. The City of Idaho Falls will do the day care inspection for Iona. Council member Steve Elliott said he has been summoned to Jury Duty during the month of July and may not be here for Iona Days. Mayor Andersen said he would help with Iona Days. Barbara Schrier was asking about the head gate that Randy Kofoed said he would put in. The Council does not recollect Randy saying he would put a new head gate in. Council member Clip Holverson is concerned about day care/preschool requirements. He said that Randy may be putting in another day care facility. Council member Scott Long motioned to adjourn. Council member Clip Holverson seconded. All were in favor.
