Impact Area. Clerk Keyes said Roy Hobbs had attended the last Iona Bonneville Sewer board
meeting as recommended by Steve Serr from Bonneville County. Hobbs discussed the proposed
impact area increase with the sewer board. They said expansion to the north of Telford Road was
dependent upon Idaho Falls Public Works because they ran the sewer treatment facility. Hobbs
then met with Chad Stanger, the Idaho Falls Public Works director. Mr. Stanger said increasing
the impact area may have issues with capacity, but the issue could be discussed. Hobbs
recommended the City call a meeting with all entities involved; the County, the sewer district,
and Idaho Falls public works to discuss the issue at the same time with everyone involved.
