VISITORS: Bobbie Jockumsen, Paul & Shellie Snarr, Terry Butikofer.
Mayor Rockwood called the meeting to order and welcomed everyone. He turned the
time over to Bobbie Jockumsen, Bonneville County Chief Election Judge, to canvass the
votes. The Council viewed the Canvass Audit spreadsheet. Council member Susan
Barnes made a motion to approve the final vote and Council member Brad Andersen
seconded. All were in favor. The Audit was signed and a copy given to the City and to
the County.
The Public Hearing was opened at 7:10 p.m. Terry Butikofer from ECIPDA and who is
helping get the Community Development Block Grant for us, discussed the project. We
can consider using what we have done around the building this summer as a match. The
project is to beautify two blocks of Main Street. Paul from Benton Engineering gave
some rough figures for the cost of curb and gutter and other improvements. Terry went
over the paper work that needed to be signed. A motion was made by Council member
Dave Huntsman approving the resolution that the City will commit to spend $30,000 in
cash in addition to what has already been spent for the above mentioned improvements.
Council member Susan Barnes seconded. A motion was made by Council member Susan
Barnes to designate a slum and blight area in the two blocks of Main Street. Council
member Dave Huntsman seconded. All were in favor. The Hearing was advertised, but
no citizens were present to make comment. If we proceed we will need to have two
additional Public Hearings to let the public know how and what we are doing. A motion
was made by Council member Brad Andersen and seconded by Council member Susan
Barnes to have the Mayor sign the Request for Proposals for Engineering Services and
for Administrative Services. All were in favor. The Mayor suggested delaying the
project for a year or two if the State would accept our State Enhancement Funds for a
bicycle/pedestrian path as local matching funds. Terry will call Dianna Clough and see if
she thinks that will be possible.
Next Council Meeting will be Nov. 17`h and the Christmas Party will be Dec. 8`h. A
retirement party for Ross Johnson, Chief of Police and Public Works Supervisor was
discussed.
Council member Brad Andersen asked about the AIC dinner on Nov. 9`h. The french
drain on Scoresby Ave. has been installed.
Adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
