Mayor Andersen welcomed everyone and the pledge was led by Council member Dennis McArthur. The Minutes from the previous meeting were amended and approved. Council member Clip Holverson motioned and Council member Scott Long seconded. All were in favor. David Benton from Benton Engineering and Brent Johnson discussed Division #4 of the Mountain Ridge Estates. Division #2 & 3 are approved for townhouses. The Mayor and Council voiced their concerns about the development. The Development Agreement has not been approved yet. Our Attorney, Dale Storer, is working on it. Council member Scott Long said he is not comfortable about approving it without seeing the Development Agreement. The Council discussed it and Mayor Andersen asked for a motion. Council member Dennis McArthur motioned to approve Division #4, as R-1 of the Mountain Ridge Estates contingent upon the Development Agreement, Free Ave. running through to Crowly Road, road paved by developer, and the items listed for review by Schiess & Associates, and the letter from the lawyer. Council member Clip Holverson seconded. Council member Scott Long did not approve. Mr. Benton asked about names for the streets. Council member Scott Long will check with Steve Elliott on the names he had. McKay Guthrie presented his proposal. He would like the City to deed Dru and Cindy Guthrie some land, which is presently a ditch, to them which would be deeded to him in the future. Council member Scott Long said he would like to look at the property first. Our well empties into the ditch. Council member Clip Holverson feels if it is deeded to Mr. Guthrie that it would not be fair to the other people. He feels it should be deeded equally. Mayor Andersen suggested getting Attorney Dale Storer's opinion. We may need a Public Hearing. The Council would like to look at it. The proposal was tabled until next month. John Baird discussed the snow shack he has on Dayton at Craig Oram's home. Mr. Baird asked the neighbors and they were fine with it. A permission slip was issued from the City to Mr. Baird to stay at the location until City Council Meeting tonight. His shack is setting on the City right-of-way and it presents a safety hazard. After some discussion, it was decided to move the shack by the south shelter in the park and pay the City $25.00/month. A motion was made by Council member Dennis McArthur to move the snow shack by the shelter in the park by July 1, 2006 and pay $25.00/month to the City, and move the shack out of the park the second week in Aug. 2006. Council member Scott Long seconded. All were in favor. Ben Hymas and Eric Astel discussed dogs barking in the neighborhood. It has been a problem for over two years. Mr. Astel signed a complaint awhile ago and it seemed to help. He is willing to do it again. Mr. Astel and Mayor Andersen will call Mike Boyd with the complaint. Mike Lund, engineer for Iona Bonneville Sewer District discussed the history of the sewer system in the Ashwood Acres. Idaho Falls does the inspection and they were not notified to come and inspect it before homes were built. There is a problem with the system and it has still not been accepted. There was a discussion among the citizens and Council asking Mr. Lund questions. Mountain River Engineering was the first firm developing and then Benton Engineering was the second firm to come in. Lynden Kunde said he is willing to repair the road, but only after the sewer problem is taken care of He said Mountain River was supposed to inspect the sewer and they were fired before it was done. Mayor Andersen said we need to figure out who is going to get the work done. The Sewer District is holding a meeting next Wed., June 28th and if anyone wants on the Agenda they need to call the Sewer District. Dee Johnson asked where we go from here. Mr. Lund thinks there are ways to fix it without digging up the system. He suggested a company flushing it every 2-3 months. The City of Idaho Falls will not do that and will not take over maintenance. Financial Report was reviewed. Mayor Andersen said a quarterly report needs to be posted. The Council ratified payment of the bills. Council member Scott Long motioned and Council member Dennis McArthur seconded. All were in favor. The Council discussed the newsletter. There were several people who did not get it. It was suggested putting it in the Post Office. Council member Dennis McArthur suggested contracting with a Scout Troop to hand it out. Mayor Andersen discussed the building code and set backs. The Code reads now for set backs to be 10'. It use to be 5'. Council member Scott Long is comfortable with it being 10'. He suggested looking in the minutes to see when it was changed. City Clerk Betty McKinlay discussed the vacant house on Steele and the vehicles that were abandoned there. An address needs to be found to contact the previous owners. Betty will be out of town on July 18th. The tentative budget hearing will be held July 18th. Our regular Council meeting will be held July 11th. Betty gave each of the Council the flyer for "The Standards" Concert which will be held at the Colonial Theater June 28th and encouraged everyone to attend. They performed at Iona several years ago and they are living in Nashville working on their record label. Public Works Director, Zech Prouse discussed the service lines for hook ups. He would like to use compression couplers and needs approval. Council member Dennis McArthur motioned to approve the couplers and Council member Scott Long seconded. All were in favor. This will be effective when the Ordinance is changed. Brent Garner, Tony Jenks and Chris Ferguson discussed their proposal to the Mayor and Council. They want to develop Wayne Heaton's property and hook on to the City water system. There would be an area for park, school, church, homes, etc. They just wanted the Mayor and Council's input. Mayor Andersen explained we are not annexing any more until the water study it completed. Ned Sweat discussed the weed problem along the ditch by his home. He has maintained the ditch by mowing etc. He was wondering if the city could mow it because it is uneven and hard to mow. Mayor Andersen asked Zech to look at it. Council member Scott Long suggested the Council looking at it on their "road trip" when they go look at Guthrie's. Barbara Schreier discussed the ditch flooding at their home. Zech said we are not allowed to lock the ditches. Council member Scott Long suggested going to Progressive and complaining. Mrs. Schreier asked about fogging for the mosquitoes. We need a license to spray . Mayor Andersen asked Public Works Director, Zech Prouse to look into the licensing requirements. Mayor Andersen discussed the five people who volunteered to be on the Planning and Zoning Committee. They are: Nancy Long, Jerry Hansen, Bret Stutzman, Bruce Case, Bruce Stanger. Dave Huntsman was asked to be on the committee, but he did not want to, but he will help with the Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Andersen passed around the Thank You card he received from the Jacob Allcott family expressing their thanks to the City and to Fire Chief Scott Long for his efforts in getting the fire trucks etc. for their son's funeral. Mayor Andersen discussed a time for Falls Water and Rockwell Construction to meet with us. He feels the Council and himself needs to meet with them about our impact area. It was decided to meet sometime Thursday morning. The Mayor will let Betty know and she can call the Council. Mayor Andersen discussed getting a cross connection control program on the water line to prevent back flow from sprinkler systems. Mayor Andersen said David Morrow has knowledge about the cross connection program and would do it for $30.00 per house hold of people who have sprinkler systems. He would educate people in trade for the water hook up fee on his home he would like to build. Mr. Morrow would train Zech so he could take over and the $30.00 would come to the City. The Council is concerned about swapping services for fees. It was tabled till next time. Council member Clip Holverson was asked by the Library Board if they could put up a sign about their storytime on Wednesday's and taking it down after the storytime. It was okayed. Clip said the Library Agreement would be mailed out Friday. Referring back to the Iona Bonneville Sewer discussion earlier in the meeting, Council member Clip Holverson explained that he is a citizen and will speak and state is mind even though he sits on the Council. He can still voice his opinion. Mayor Andersen explained that the discussion with the representative of the sewer board was a fact finding discussion not a voting issue and he was only trying to rein in the people and not take sides. He understands getting involved etc. and Council member Scott Long explained that we should listen to people and explain. Council member Dennis McArthur said he was a little offended tonight about the distribution of the newsletter. The tone and manner in which it was discussed. Council member Dennis McArthur asked if anyone had looked on Dayton Street at the clean up that was done by the ditch and park. Public Works director, Zech Prouse cleaned it up. Mayor Andersen mentioned that Council member Dennis McArthur helped, too. The Lion's Club will donate their profit from the breakfast on July 4th to the park committee to help with expenses. Council member Scott Long motioned to adjourn. Council member Clip Holverson seconded.
