Council member Dee Johnson motioned and Council member Susan Barnes seconded the motion. Susan Gardner and Randy Smith presented their drawing for a 4 plex they would like to build behind the 6-12 Store and Jack Forbush's home. Our current ordinance would not let them do it. The frontage and square footage is a concern. The Council discussed with them what they would have to do. They will get back with us.

The Financial report was discussed and the delinquent water bill. The Tax Levy increase was discussed. The council will have two meetings in Oct. on the 7th and again on the 21st to explain the levy to the citizens. It was suggested to send out a flyer. The right-of-way behind Rod Moore's home was discussed. There is a 50' right-of-way. Mountain River Engineering has written up the legal description and deeded 30' to the people and 20' to the City. Our Attorney, Dale Storer will write the Quitclaim Deeds. Rod Moore will collect the money from the people. The Council will need to approve the Quitclaim Deeds. Dale Storer is in the process of re -writing our Zoning Ordinance. He has written a letter to the Polk's who have a trailer on their property and someone living in it. As soon as the Polk's get the certified letter we will count down to the deadline, then Ross can cite them if the trailer is not moved. Council Reports were given. Council member Dee Johnson mentioned that several people have approached him about the restrooms at the City Park. They are always locked. They get vandalized if left open. Council member Dee Johnson mentioned that he had seen the restrooms at Montpelier. They have steel fixtures and are really nice. Our Park needs new fixtures and the sewer cleaned out. This would be an improvement we could show the citizens that we need the Tax Levy for. Entrance into the Barnes Addition was discussed concerning Stop and Yield signs. Putting new basketball nets on the outdoor hoops was discussed as was putting a new basketball court up. Council member Dee Johnson discussed the possibility of getting a fogger next year. Dee's name comes up when there is a mosquito in the community. Council member Dave Huntsman discussed the speed limit on Rushton Road, Steele Ave., Olsen, Crook Road and Free Ave. He mentioned Dewayne Woolf has dug out the borrow pit and it looks like he going to pour concrete. The sprinkler system at the Church was discussed. It needs to be adjusted so it does not hit the road. Campers and trailors in the right-of-ways was discussed. Yield sign on Denning was discussed. The school is leaving the water on the Soccer field too long. Council member Dave Huntsman will call Roger Hill about it. Council member Susan Barnes mentioned that Jack at the Post Office had talked to her about the stamp cancellation. We need to submit something to the Post Office. Mayor Rockwood showed the new letterhead he had Ron O'Conner make for us. Council member Susan Barnes showed the letter she had from the Dept. of Commerce about getting our City certified again as a Gem Community. She also went to a transportation meeting and there is nothing that will affect Iona. They do have some money available that we might could use later on down the road. The Mayor thanked Ron, Ross, and Betty for the work they do. Ron asked why the new printer would not accept the water program when we do reports. It is just a matter of changing computer to the laser printer. Council member Dave Huntsman said he would et, ask his neighbor, Jason Ewing, to come and see if he can show us how to change to the laser printer. Council member Susan Barnes moved to adjourn.

Enclosed are your Gem Community certificates for 1998-99. You can take pride in your accomplishments and ongoing work on the Community Center and Iona Square. We applaud your vision to continue to work to improve your community under the leadership of the city council. Please stay in touch with Dick Johnson and let us know when we can be of assistance. Congratulations on a successful year. Sincerely, Robert R. Ford Business Services Manager RRF:cr Enclosure cc: Dick Johnson IDAHO i August 31, 1998 Robert R. Ford, Business Services Manager Department of Commerce State of Idaho PO Box 83720 Boise, Idaho - 83720-0093 Re: Recertification of Iona as a Gem Community Dear Mr. Ford: Thanks you for being so patient with me in answering your letter of July 1,1998, with regard to Iona's status as a Gem Community. As I mentioned on the telephone, for several years we had an active, independent Gem Community Committee on which I served as Chairman. Early in 1997, after two years as chairman, I resigned. Our committee had become stale, unable to recruit new members. No one was willing to step in as chairman. Since that time, our Gem Community projects have continued under the leadership of the Iona City Council. In this way, each Council member is able to recruit the volunteers needed for specific activities drawing from a larger variety of expertise and willing citizens. Documentation for these efforts is found in the minutes of our Iona City Council meetings. Our main project continues to be the renovation and improvement of our Community Center and the adjoining Iona Square. We have, in the past, concentrated on the building's structure and interior. Our building is now a beautiful and functional place to hold meetings, reunions, parties, weddings and receptions. The building is currently being used as a City Building, housing the Clerk's office, Council Chambers, Law Enforcement, Civil Defense, Iona Lions Club, and a small volunteer library. Plans are underway for a Senior Citizens Room and an Iona History Room and Museum In the future, our efforts will extend to replacing the crumbling steps, walkways and sidewalks which have been in place since 1929. We also want to expand sidewalks to a bike/walk pathway extending around the square and eventually other parts of Iona for citizens to use for walking, biking, and skating and also for the use of our children on their way to school. We recently finished a grant application to the CHC Foundation for assistance in upgrading the walkways, steps and sidewalks surrounding our Community Center and are hopeful this grant will be approved. Our main event each July is our celebration of "Iona Days". We set aside several days for many activities to celebrate the founding of Iona and also as a fundraising event to continuing renovation of the Community Center. Our events include an annual Melodrama, a Dutch -Oven Chicken Dinner, a Salmon Fry Dinner, an annual Iona Days Fun Run, and various other activities including craft booths, children's games, baseball and basketball tournaments and lots of good food. This year a local realtor paid for a hot-air balloon to provide free tethered rides to lots of children and adults. Also, this year we honored two citizens who have contributed to the success of our community. Each year, we hold our annual Spring Fling. This year the focus of the Spring Fling was an Easter egg hunt and was very well attended. Other activities include a Halloween Dance and an open house for the throwing of the Christmas Lights switch. Last year, the Iona City Council sponsored a free hot-dog, corn -on -the -cob supper for the community. Other events are in the planning. We have also finished the production of a video highlighting Iona, some of our history, what we have accomplished with our Community Center and our hopes for its future. Early in the year we completed our computer -system upgrade. We are now "on-line" and have our own web page which you can find at www.srv.net/—iona/htm. We have been proud to be a State of Idaho Gem Community here in Iona and grateful to have the continued assistance and interest of the Department of Commerce. I am enclosing the report I presented to the City Council this month on this year's Iona Days event. Also enclosed are pictures which were included in our CHC Foundation grant application showing what we've done to our building and the areas we are hoping to upgrade in the near future. If you have any questions, or we can send you further documentation to assist you in your consideration of Iona's recertification process, please let me know. Sincerely, Susan N.
