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.
