She opposed a 100% raise and stated the public was not adequately informed about the proposed action. Mrs. Whiteley attended the City Council Meeting on August 15, 1991, when the proposed raise was considered, however, she left before the ordinance was introduced, discussed, and adopted. Prior to leaving that meeting, she expressed some thoughts on a salary increase for City Officials, but she was not aware the Council planned to take action. She encouraged elected officials to make sure they are doing their jobs and to let their conscience be their guide when they approve a raise for themselves. At 8: 00 P.M. Mayor Ard opened the Public Hearing to consider changes to the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Ammon. Changes were necessitated because of requests for rezones received from Peterson Enterprises, Larry Hobbs, and Lennis Tirrell. Planning and Zoning Chairman Ron Folsom discussed the purpose of a Comp- rehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map. He explained in detail the changes recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The changes recommended are as follows: 1. TRANSPORTATION, Street Subsystems, C. Arterials, page 54: Follow- ing line 6, add "Within the City limits and the City Impact area, the County or section line roads shall be designated as arterials." 2. TRANSPORTATION, Design Policies, C. Arterials, page 56: Delete the first three lines and add: - All new points of access to arterials should be via collector street at approximately ~ mile intervals. Direct property access should be prohibited if possible. Exception - lots or property of record at adoption of this plan revision shall be permitted a single direct access if access to a collector street is not available. - A limited neighborhood commercial zone may be mapped at the intersection of any collecstor and the arterial. Access to the commercial area would be via the collector only. - Residential lots adjacent to arterial streets should have reverse frontage. - Higher-density residential uses should be concentrated on collector streets. 3. FUTURE LAND USE, Definitions, page 67: Change the last three lines to read, "For the purpose of this study five generalized land use categories were defined to cover the probable future development activities. These categories are as follows: Low Density Residential - The use of land for single dwellings on larger lot sizes. (Up to 4 units per acre.)" family 4. FUTURE LAND USE, Definitions, Page 68: Delete the first three lines (This eliminates medium density residential.) 5. FIGURE 19, FUTURE LAND USE REQUIREMENTS, page 71: Under LAND USE CATEGORY delete "Med. Density." This necessitates an adjustment to the acre amounts. 360 September 5, 1991 6. FUTURE LAND USE, Definitions, Page "i.e., four units per acre" and entitled Medium Density Residential. 72: Change delete the line 2 entire to read paragraph 7. FIGURE 20, FUTURE LAND USE MAP, page 74 as previously revised: Eliminate medium density residential (use two colors instead of three); delete the large industrial designation south of Sunnyside Road in the southeast corner of the map and change it to low density residential; change commercial to high density residential on southeast corner of intersection of Hitt Road and Sunnyside Road; square up the commercial designation on the southwest corner of the intersection of Ammon Road and Sunnyside Road (Randalyn Addition); change northeast corner of Ammon Road and Sunnyside Road intersection to commercial including the Mansion House; eliminate the green belt area along Sand Creek; square up the commercial designation on the south side of East 17th Street between McCowin's and Servisoft (Heather and Midway); and leave the occupied houses along the south side of East 17th Street as residential.

Virginia Whiteley requested an addition to the minutes of August 15, 1991, to show not only her positive comments on a salary increase for e1ecsted officials but also to show her negative comments. Especially, the Mayor and Council should be sure they fulfill their responsibilities to the City adequately to merit a raise. The School Board for District No. 93 has agreed to review the plans for a Tie Breaker Park at their next meeting. I There was discussion on the problems encountered in obtaining Temporary Construction Easements and Quitclaim Deeds for Ammon Road.

There is concern about the attitude of officers from the Bonneville County Sheriff's Office when they respond at the fire scene. Also, there hav-e been problems with dispatch. Chief Smith agreed to discuss dispatch problems with Idaho Falls Fire Chief Hahn, and the Council will follow up with the Sheriff's Office. Permission was requested to appoint David Morningstar and Paul Hardwicke as Lieutenants and put them in charge of the engines.

The Fire Department is' looking at the feasibility of selling Truck No. 1 (The Ford truck donated by U. S. West Communications). There was no Council opposition to selling Truck No.1. Councilman Maeser expressed concern about the safety problem in the Peterson Park area when you enter Geneva Drive from the south. The street is posted for 25 miles per hour, but there is no way you can go through that neighborhood that fast. The City needs to change the speed limit sign and/or add some "children at play" signs. Councilman Maeser motioned that the Council made a finding that the current signing is not appropriate and that the speed limit sign as you enter Geneva Drive from the south be changed to 15 miles per hour and the sign on the other end of Geneva where it crosses Talmage also be changed to 15 miles per hour. The motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson. Roll call vote: Maeser - Yes; Anderson - Yes; Crandall - Yes; Hall - Yes. The motion carried unanimously.
