Mayor Andersen welcomed everyone. Pledge was led by City Clerk Betty McKinlay.
Mayor Andersen had each one in attendance introduce themselves to the Council.
The Minutes from the previous meeting were passed as amended. Council member Scott
Long motioned and Council member Clip Holverson seconded. All were in favor. The
Council motioned to ratify payment of the bills. Council member Steve Elliott motioned
and Council member Scott Long seconded. All were in favor.
The Financial Report was reviewed.
Robyn Keyes, Tree/Park Committee Chairman, introduced Darren Guthrie, spokes person
for the Park Committee. Mr. Guthrie explained what the committee would like to see
done in the Park at the Ashwood Acres. They would like to name the Park after County
Commissioner/Council member Cliff Long. Landon Excavating will put the culvert in
for the ditch which has already been awarded. Dan Hunting said he would help with
installing the sprinkler system. They would like to put a walking path in, a pole fence,
grass, benches and trees. Robyn thought there was money set aside for the whole park to
be completed. Council member Scott Long said money was never allocated for the
whole park. There was money for the ditch work, but each segment of the park would be
done as money came available. Robyn feels they are being put off. Mayor Andersen said
for the committee to get a list together and the Council would decide what to do next.
Right now the ditch, irrigation, trees and grading for the path need to be done. The lights
are in. Council member Clip Holverson said we will do what we can and not let grants
fall through. Mayor Andersen suggested having a work meeting. Council member Scott
Long will set it up.
Mayor Andersen, Janalee Thomas and Nancy Long met with the Idaho Falls Library
Director and discussed making Iona a branch Library. Idaho Falls will pay the
employees and for materials like books and computer etc. The Library will need to be
open 20 hours per week. It is open 8 hours now. Iona will pay for utilities. If this
doesn't work Idaho Falls would pull out and we could operate as before. The Library
would expand and the room used as the Museum could be converted over as
Library/Museum together. The Council would need to discuss this possibility. The
Idaho Falls Director suggested writing up a contract between Iona and Idaho Falls
Library.
Mr. Ames thanked the Mayor and Council for their time as he and his Scout Troop
departed the meeting.
Ken Thomas had a couple of proposals. The first one is the possibility of naming a street
in one of the new developments going in Iona, after the seven Weigel brothers who
served in World War II. Mr. Thomas felt that was a remarkable number out of one
family to serve. Council member Scott Long said he would check with the Rockwood
brothers in the Homer Estates and Mayor Andersen will check with Eric Scoresby in the
Rose Valley Addition.
Mr. Thomas' second proposal is establishing the "I" back on the hill. He suggested
having a 5K or something to run up there and paint it. Robyn Keyes suggested painting
the "I" on the water tank. The Council will check into it.
Ryan Loftus from Aspen Engineering showed the map and additional parking space for
the LDS Church on Denning. He showed the Council and Mayor Andersen two
proposals. One proposal is parking in the City right-of-way and the other would be to
have parking on the Church property side.
Brandy Dixon would like to start a Day Care in her home on Steele Ave. She has gone
through the State and has a license and Insurance. She was wondering if she needed a
Conditional Use Permit. If under seven children she does not need a permit. A copy of
our Code was given to her to read. She will get information back to us on the inspection
etc.
Judy Clark said she talked to Council member Dennis McArthur about the water problem
on Scoresby. The Council and Mayor Andersen will discuss the problem.
Dillon Moser and Bryce Johnson discussed the tennis court. They would like to help
with fixing up the tennis court backboards and benches as a school project. Mayor
Andersen said if they would supply the labor the City would provide the materials. The
Council agreed to let them go ahead.
Kay Ball is concerned about the Iona Cemetery. Six crosses have been removed from the
graves of her relatives. Mrs. Ball was quite emotional as she reported that she is unable
to get a hold of anyone to find out where the crosses might be. The Council gave her
names of the cemetery board.
Mrs. Ball also was concerned about the gravel on the walking/bike path that runs past her
home. H & K chipped the road last fall and it has not been swept. The Council told her
as soon as the weather permits it will be swept. Mrs. Ball also mentioned a street light
that is out. We will call Utah Power and Light to come out. Mrs. Ball discussed her
concerns about mosquitoes, dogs, and getting the trees trimmed that are in the right-of-
way by her home. The Tree Committee will be trimming trees this spring and taking
inventory.
Michael and Barbara Schreier discussed the culvert that was put in won't last very long
with all the traffic that is driving over it. Schreier's are still not happy with the traffic
going past their home. Mayor Andersen said he talked to Randy Kofoed and he wants to
work with the Schreier's. They just need to visit with Randy themselves. Mrs. Schreier
was also complaining about Randy's light at the day care. Mayor Andersen said he needs
that light for security.
Roger Nelson asked the Council and Mayor if Bonneville Sewer were going to clean up
the mess they have made in the Ashwood Addition. Work Supervisor Zech Prouse said
he will over see the work that it gets done right. The contractor is responsible for putting
it back in shape.
Sally Price was wondering why the sidewalk is not plowed in front of Ernie's Cafe.
Probably because Ernie's has been clearing the snow and they are not open now. We will
check and see if Kevin Machen will do it when he is out removing the snow in our
parking lot, etc.
The Council and Mayor viewed a map of the Homer Addition, Third Phase. Tom
McIntire is concerned about land locking.
Roger Hill from School Dist. #93 picked up his Conditional Use Permit to move three
modular classrooms onto the Iona School grounds. The Council would like to amend the
Conditional Use Permit before a motion is made. They would like the School District to
apply for the permit each year. Council member Dennis McArthur motioned to accept
the Conditional Use Permit as amended. Council member Clip Holverson seconded. All
were in favor.
Mayor Andersen asked the Council for a motion to have our Attorney, Dale Storer, draw
up a resolution to adopt a policy for contractors to follow in the City of Iona. Council
member Dennis McArthur motioned and Council member Steve Elliott seconded. All
were in favor.
Mayor Andersen was asked by the Girl Scouts to grant a Proclamation announcing March
12th as an annual event. Council President Scott Long read the Proclamation. Council
member Clip Holverson disagrees; he said there are too many of these days for the
Government already.
Council reports were given. Council member Clip Holverson asked about street signs on
Walker Ave. Work Supervisor Zech Prouse will check on it. Mr. Holverson also said one
of the lights in the Council room was smoking during a meeting the other night. We will
get Wheeler out to look at it.
Council member Dennis McArthur discussed water standing on the streets. It was
decided to wait until summer to take care of it. The news letter was delivered to each
house by a family for the cost of $60.00. It was suggested to let the boy scouts do it.
Mayor Andersen mentioned that there are 4 or 6 lots that need to be cleaned up. Mayor
Andersen would like to share a police with Ucon. Mayor Andersen mentioned that Work
Supervisor Zech Prouse, and himself, went to a water training seminar in Boise.
Council member Steve Elliott discussed what he found out on remodeling the restrooms
in the square. A pre-fab could be installed for $25,000. It would already be pre -wired
and plumbed.
Council member Scott Long discussed a meeting he went to on Radio Frequencies.
Lights at the tennis court were discussed.
Mayor Andersen and Treasurer Ron Nelson will get together to discuss the preliminary
Budget.
Mayor Andersen said that the soffit and fascia on the two shops on Rockwood Ave. need
to be replaced. We need to get bids. Mayor Andersen mentioned a hearing tomorrow
night for the subdivision by Honey Bee Lane. Mayor Andersen said he would like to get
with Tony Wise and Jay Rockwell to discuss boundaries. Council member Scott Long
said that Honey Bee Lane would be the boundary. Mayor Andersen said that Rockwell
has bought Falls Water.
Mayor Andersen asked Work Supervisor Zech Prouse to attend a Mosquito development
workshop.
Mayor Andersen mentioned that Bowman's donated the couch that is in the foyer of the
building to the City.
Mayor Andersen is concerned that nothing has been done on the Easter Egg Hunt. April
15th is the celebration. Tammy Nelson is the chairman. The Lion's Club would be
willing to help.
Mayor Andersen handed out a card with all employee's and Council members phone
numbers on it.
Mayor Andersen said that we need to respect each other and keep our opinions and
personal things to ourselves. He handed out information on a motion etc.
The water list has been cleaned up. Work Supervisor Zech Prouse has done a good job
collecting the over due fees.
Mayor Andersen said the Youth Committee would like to have Iona Days like it was 6 or
7 years ago.
Council member Scott Long motioned to adjourn. Time: 10:20 p.m.

City of Iona Newsletter
cli, 00(
City officials encourage Iona citizens to freely express ideas and concerns to help the good community of
Iona continue to improve. Several concerns have been expressed regarding loose dogs, unkempt lots, future
domestic and ditch water usage issues, town square bathrooms; tennis court repair, street water drainage and
repair, etc. Mayor Andersen has made assignments and is considering establishing several committees to help
develop solutions and ideas for improvement. If you would like to be involved with a committee, please call
Betty McKinlay at the City building (523-5600) or contact any Council member or Mayor Andersen. Public
involvement will help keep Iona the great community it is. Mayor Andersen believes in open communication and
wants to hear from the public, so he has established office hours from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. every Tuesday at the City
Building
Iona has purchased a new city pickup for the bargain price of $17,685.16, and the new City maintenance
building is nearing completion. A comprehensive study of our domestic water system is under way and is funded
by a grant. This water study should answer questions about the demands new housing is placing on water
resources and propose changes or improvements if needed. Ross Johnson will continue working part time until
the end of the year to train Zech Prouse, Iona's new Public Works Director. The City Council is looking at the
possibility of contracting with a qualified building inspector to issue and inspect building permits within city
limits, so Iona would be able to collect the permit fees currently collected by Bonneville County officials. This
money could be used to help pay for city expenses.
Upcoming Events:
• Free 2 hour tree pruning workshop on March 25 beginning at noon at the City Building; Gerry Bates, a
certified arborist, will offer one hour of instruction inside and one hour of hands-on practice outside.
Contact Robyn Keyes for more information at 552-1198
• Easter egg hunt on April 15 at 11:00 a.m. at the City Building; Contact Tammy Nelson, Iona's new
Easter egg hunt chair at 542-13 80, if you want to help.
• Arbor Day Celebration on May 5 at 1:00 p.m. in Ashwood Park on South Dayton between Iona
Elementary and Scoresby Ave; contact Robyn Keyes, Iona's tree committee chair at 552-1198 if you want
to help; possible Eagle Scout projects with new park.
• The library committee is hosting its annual fund raising BBQ on June 2 from 5:30 — 7:30 p.m.; old
fashion hamburger/hot dog cookout in front of the City Building with live entertainment provided.
• Iona Pioneer Days: July (Details in June newsletter)
It is expensive to mail this newsletter — 500 stamps and envelopes. The City Council would like to know
if any group is willing to deliver succeeding newsletters as a service project so City money could be used on
other projects. Call Betty McKinlay (523-5600) at the City Building, Dennis McArthur (529-6997), or
contact any other City Council member or Mayor Andersen if you are willing to help or have other ideas.
