It was felt that three days as now in the ordinance was probably not unreasonable, but no definite decision was made. Claims were approved for payment.

Upon a sUggestion from Mayor Turnbow, the Council agreed to have Attorney Smith work with Boise Cascade as developers of the East I Hills Addition 011 an agreement concerning arrangements to pay for curb and gutter ..for that area when installed some time in the future. A letter drawn up by Attorney Smith advising the owners of new homes built after the bond election, July 18,1972, concerning the paying of a sewer service line charge as established at the last meeting was reviewed and sUggestions for changes made. 1Pihe letter is to be mailed to all those concerned within the next few days along with a copy of a letter signed by Gene Burch of Farmers Home Administra- tion regarding available financing for this purpose through that agency for those who desire it and can qualify.

Mayor Turnbow asked Councilman Hirschi to check with the City of Idaho Falls about what the cost will be to continue under the library agreement for the coming year. I According to Mayor Turnbow, a policy is needed for sewer service line charge and hook-up fee for homes that are within the city's jurisdiction for sewer line but are outside the City Limits. It was determined that the same policy as for inside the City would apply- -for the few homes that now 'exist outside the City that will hook on to the sewer line there will be a charge for the actual cost of the service line but no hook-up fee, and owners ,?f buildingS constructed in the future will pay $200 hook-up fee to the City and actual cost for the service line to their contractor.

Mayor Turnbow requested information from Engineer Benton regarding I the questions from the delegation who were present earlier in the meeting. The street repair plans were shown from a drawing in the project specifications. Concerning individual hook-ups on the new waterline, Engineer Benton explained that the project engineers felt it best to leave the existing 4-irich line in for services on Brookfield Lane, but the Pressure will be improved due to the increased capacity of the w,~ll with a new pump and the small line being connected to the larger line at both ends. The Mayor and Council expressed faith in this decision made by the engineers. I o 00 ~ c:o t:I.:l CLJ I I ~/'~ Engineer Benton went over the procedure for setting up a Local Improvement District for the 17th Street widening and paving project, and pointed out on the City map some short street sections in other parts of the City that might be included in the same L.1. D. If felt advisable. He was asked to check with the property owners on the sUgge sted streets to see if they are interested. A-<lCording to Mr. Benton, the engineering work has been done for the drainage situation at Dal Avenue and Samuel Street, so the problem will be taken care of when the paving, etc., is done after the sewer construction is Completed there.
