Home My Public Portal AboutMinutes_CCSpecialMeeting_10221992MINUTES OF WATER BOND HEARING OCT. 22. 1992 AT 7:00 PM Present: Mayor Karen Hansen, Betty McKinlay, Dee Johnson, Craig Rockwood, Deb Sorenson, Ron Nelson, Dave Huntsman. Visitors: Ted Sorenson, Ted Hendricks, Angela Schreier, Barbara Schreier, Glade Bean, Jeremy Hortn, Ross Johnson, Perry & Beverly Mortenson, Terry McNamara, Rita & Dee Armstong, Boyd Getsinger, Blaine Drewes. Ted Sorenson, from Sorenson Engineering explained the improvements that could be made on the water system. He said it was in pretty good shape. Improvements could be made to up grade distribution of the water. Olsen Ave. & Dayton Ave. will be prioritized. Mayor's idea is to put bigger trunk line in. Fire hydrants and lead goose necks were an issue. The lead goose necks could be a source of lead getting into the drinking water & it is a good idea to replace them. A new Well is a priority. Mr. Storer donated property to the City to put in a new Well. The Well on the hill and a new Well would be sufficient for the City. The older Well by the Park would be a stand by Well. Refurbish the old Well is another proposal. $8000,000 would be what they need. $600,000 is what they will start with. Ted Hendricks from East Central Idaho Planning & Developing Association explained the Block Grant that we may be able to get to help finance the water system. He mentioned Grants are hard to get. The Hud Grant is available. They require the Community to match the fund. Ted feels there is a need because of the lead pipes. $300,000 to $400,000 is what we are looking at. If the Bond passes on Oct. 27th then we can apply for the grant. The paper work has to be done by Nov. 1st. We won't know if we get it until Mar. & construction could begin in the summer. Comments were made. Dave Huntsman mentioned the increase of the water bill. A lot of time and effort has been spent putting this together. It is something we can afford. Dee Johnson commented that Rockwood north on Main street has had a lot of patching and leaks keep springing up. Half of the City is shut off from water just to fix one leak. Concerns were brought up on the water pressure on Free Ave. This is a good time to go about fixing the water system. Blaine Drewes from Division of Environmental Quality, mentioned that the water system now is 20% short of what it needs to be. Requirements are that during peak hours the water should be at a peak. Dead end lines causes a chance for bacteria to get in and can not be chlorinated. The pipes collect sand. The mains go down 1/4". Can not put hydrants on anything less then 6" main. Fire insurance rating is not as good & is higher. The EPA says lead & copper need to be tested. The lead goose necks need to be n replaced. This will save money. Mr. Drewes said that a new Well could profit the City. Mr. Drewes mentioned that he would support the Bond for two reasons: 1. Help protect the residence in the City and 2. Abandon Well needs up graded. Craig Rockwood mentioned the 2nd Well was contaminated & has to be shut down. Deb Sorenson mentioned Ross Johnson being called out more and more to fix leaks. Mayor mentioned in 1960 was the last time we bonded and took 30 years to pay off. The system is not contaminated, but needs to be up graded. Ted Sorenson mentioned there are 10-12 items, but in reality we may not be able to do all of them, but will prioritize and go from there. Dee Armstrong appreciated the work being done towards this project and will support it. He said to go the max. He wanted to know rate wise. Ted Hendricks mentioned 6-10% & looked at 7% for 15-20 years amarization. $3.00 is the most rates will be increased at this time. We will not need the money until June or July next year. Debt retirement will be $7.50 per house hold. Craig Rockwood mentioned we have a little surplus to help. Utah Power puts in Well on Time -Of -Day and saves us half. The leak has been fixed up at the Well on the hill and has saved us money. Mayor mentioned that we have the best fire rating in the district. Glade Bean asked what main lines needed replaced. He was shown. There was concern about the property by the new School. When it is developed the contractor will do it. By looping into Denning, Scoresby and Free Avenues, it will satisfy pressure problems, but may be not dead end problem. Water samples have shown no contamination. Dave Huntsman mentioned to call neighbors and encourage them to get out and vote Oct. 27th. Meeting was adjourned at 7:50 pm.

A11 were in favor. The bids on the new City Pick up Truck was discussed. Mayor asked if we were going with a V-8 or a V-6. Deb Sorenson was wondering about getting a used pick up. The used one will cost as much as a new one. Craig Rockwood moved we go with the low bid which is Hirning. Dave Huntsman 2nd. Security Bond and check needs to be sent back and a thank you note sent to each bidder. The Old School Building was discussed. Brad Jordan from Idaho Falls inspected the building and said if it was painted and covered the asbestsos would be alright. Mayor mentioned that Neil Allen EPA Accredited Supervisor, could do the testing for under $1200 or less. No major things have to be done. We could document everything that we do in the building. The roof needs to be repaired. Deb Sorenson mentioned that Blackfoot Schools want some lights and ceiling tile which might pay for the roofing so none of the City's money will be used. It was suggested to get bids on the inspecting. Some of the petitions can be taken out. Deb Sorenson said he would get Ross Johnson and Bob Evinger to help take it down. Council agreed to go ahead and get started on the building. Ted Hendricks from East Central Planning and Developing had included the abandoned Well in the project. The Mayor got a letter from the Dist. of Health & Welfare stating there is a Well by the 6-12 store. The owner is charged with encasing the abandon Well. The owner of the property probably should be charged. Mayor Hansen will look into it. Council reports were given. Dave Huntsman called Steve Serr and asked what Alban Hatch was doing. He has signed a committment of a corner of the land at Lincoln road and Foothill Southwest corner to develope ten homes. He has one home on the way already. Bonneville County will not sign anything until Iona gives the go ahead because of the City Impact. Alban has already started on the hill with homes. The development on Crowley Road was signed, but this one was not signed. Most of the family Alban bought the land from are old and want the land gone. Dave Huntsman moved we accept Robinson Twin Creek Estates that Alban Hatch is developing. Dee Johnson 2nd. All were in favor. Craig Rockwood mentioned that Buddy Shepherd's driveway goes across a ditch and he was wondering if the City would replace it. Craig mentioned may be if they bought the covert the City would put it in. It would have to be a 20' 5" covert. The City Council decided it would be okay. Dave Huntsman mentioned Mrs. Schreirer needs pot holes filled. The City will help anyone who needs the holes fixed. Dee Johnson mentioned the weeds on the ditch by Schreirer's need to be smoothed out and plant grass than Schreirer's would mow it. Deb Sorenson is going to Lions Club to see if they want a sign with their name on it to go on the Score board. Ernie's Restaurant name needs to be on it also. He donated $200.
