Ross Johnson caught it just as they were about to pour cement and asked them to stop until the discrepancy was discussed. The Council agreed to the 30' set back as our code reads. Councilmember Cliff Long attended the Dept. of Commerce meeting and got some good ideas. He was wondering about the go ahead on the arena. Ricks College is working on the plans.

Rural mail delivery, if desired, would be made available to the residents of the City of lona and to surrounding area residents. Why are we doing this? 1) To maintain our community Identity: An important part of maintaining a community identity is providing all residents with addresses reflecting the community in which they live. Currently however, many residents in and near the city of Iona have Idaho Falls addresses. The Idaho Falls Post Office has extended delivery routes into these areas because the lona Post Office currently does not provide rural delivery. 2) To secure our local post office: We feel the expansion of the Idaho Falls postal delivery routes into the City of lona and the surrounding "area of impact" presents a very real threat to the longevity of our local post office. We feel having a post office in the city of Iona is important to all of us who live here. Losing our local post office would mean driving to the Idaho Falls Post Office on 4th Street to buy stamps, to pick up a package or to mail a letter. The services provided to our community by our Post Office are too important to lose. 3) To extend local Iona postal services and addresses to a greater number of people. By providing rural mail delivery from the Iona Post Office, individuals near the city who currently receive service from Idaho Falls and have Idaho Falls addresses, would be changed to receive mail delivery from the Iona Post Office and would be given Iona addresses. These individuals would no longer have to drive to Idaho Falls to pick up a package that would not frt in their box. They would instead pickup the package in Iona. We would appreciate your feedback on this proposal. Please complete the attached survey and retum it in the enclosed self addressed, stamped envelope. Thanks you! The Iona City Council Complete, detach, and return in the provided envelope. «Recipients Name, Address and Phone Number» Yes, I like the idea and would like to have service from the Iona Post Office. No, I like my existing Idaho Falls address and don't feel a need to change. I'm not sure, have someone contact me with more information.
