A color coded map of the proposed zoning was displayed, and it was noted that a public hearing and approval of the City Council is required before the pror'osed zoning ordinance can become effective. Mr. Southwick requested that immediate action be taken in this matter before the spring building begins. After considerable discus sion, Councilman Richardson moved that the City Engineer be authorized to inquire as to the purchase of some of the McCowin property north of McCowin Park for additional recreational park space and future needs of a fire station and city building complex. The motion was seconded by Councilman Cheney; voting all in favor; motion carried. Mayor Turnbow announced that certain items of equipJnent seem to be surplus at this time. After the Council had considered the matter, Councilman Swensen presented the following resolution: Be it resolved that the City Council finds that the following items are surplus and not needed for city purposes and that such items be advertised for a sale to be set for a later date: 1 1970 Plymouth Fury 4-door sedan; 1 4 hp. pump, 300 gal., Wisconsin motor; 1 3-1/2 hp. Bantam ride-on mower; 1 3-1/2 hp. Clinton ride-on mower; 1 3-gang mower. The resolution was seconded by Councilman Cheney; voting all in favor; resolution approved. It was noted by Mayor Turnbow that there is a need to set up separate accounting for water and sewer funds, and he was counseled by Attorney Anderson that this could be done without p'roblem before the annual budget is adopted. To avoid further instances of curb and gutter being installed without a grade being obtained such as happened on Ross Avenue recently, contractors are to be informed on their building permits that they must get a permit from the City Engineer before any construction on the right-of-way can be done. Mayor Turnbow also requested that Engineer Benton get an understanding with loan officials of the FHA and the Farmers Home Administration for delaying individual installation of curb and gutter if required on the loan conditions so that it can be put in all at one time. It was suggested that this could be handled through the escrow procedure. Mayor Turnbow encouraged council members to attend the following meetings: Workshop on Council of Governments and Integrated Grant Management at the ISU Student Union Building in Pocatello, Jan. 10, 9 A. M. ; Flood Con trol Meeting at 1:30 P. M., Jan. 11, in Idaho Falls; Idaho Water Resource Board Information Meeting, 7:30 P.M., Jan. 11, Westbank Restaurant in Idaho Falls. Councilman Richardson suggested that something be done about old cars that are parked on the street in the area of Salmon and Dove, and encouraged a good working relationship with the press. Councilman Swensen moved to adjourn; seconded by Councilman Richardson. The meeting was adjourned at 11:45 P. M.

Upon inquiry, Attorney Smith informed the Council that there has been no reply from the District 93 School Board concerning the use of snowmobiles on school property, and that the bonding attorney who has been consulted regarding the proposed sewer ordinance has recommended minor changes which will be taken care of and the ordi- nance should be ready for the final reading at the next meeting, with copies made avail- able for review by city officials before that time. A request by Dorian Crow to have water provided for a lot on the recently-opened ex- tension of Romrell Lane was referred to the City Engineer for recommendation and cost estimate. Engineer Benton reported that there has not been any new information from HUD on the application for grant funds for the proposed sewer and water project. He pres- ented for the Mayor r s signature an application to the Idaho Department of Water Ad- ministration for drilling a new well as tlart of the above -mentioned project, and mentioned that he has sent water samples from all wells to Boise for chemical analysis for the city records, with a request for a special analysis for copper content since a copper taste has been evident in water from Well No. 5 lately. I Councilman Richardson inquired about the population count used to determine the amount of Ammon's Revenue Sharing check. Mayor Turnbow reported that information recently received indicated that the right figures were used; however, an effort will be made to come up with a better estimate of population by a postcard survey to see if a special census is justified. A report was made by Mayor Turnbow on the participation of the city in the recent flood threat to the effect that Councilman Swensen had attended the Flood Control Meeting, and the City Maintenance crew had blasted ice jams and assisted county crews in removing ice from Sand Creek. Councilman Anderson presented a question regarding the zoning of his protlerty and was advised to take this before the Planning and Zoning Commission for recommenda- tion, then it could be reviewed by the Council if necessary. Preliminary budget recommendations were reviewed by Mayor Turnbow, indicating a I possible total budget of $224, 000, excluding any funds which might be expended on the proposed sewer project construction. The increase in revenue to allow this proposed budget is expected from the surplus now on hand, federal revenue sharing, . the charge for sewer service to residents when the system is in operation, and .an application to the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation for matching funds to purchase land for an addition to McCowin Park. Councilman Swensen moved that the meeting adjourn; seconded by Councilman Cheney. The meeting was adjourned at 10:40 P. M.
