Mayor Turn- bow a.nd Councilman Swensen a.re to prepare a. letter to be sent out explaining this to the users of the irrigation ditches. I Regarding the 17th Street Project, Councilman Swensen reported that he had been informed that a check for $60,800 for the City of Ammon's share of the work is to be submitted to the State Highway Department next week. It could take six weeks to two months before the federal financing details are finalized, so it has been 'recommended that letters to the appropriate people urging immediate action would be helpful. Engineer Benton reviewed. the situation concerning Meadow Lark Estates, Division No.1 (property north of McCowin Park) to the effect that the final plat for this subdivision had been recommended for approval by the' Planning and Zoning Com- mission some time ago, and action.by the City Council is needed since the deve- loper is ready to proceed with putting in the improvements, etc. Cmmcilman Swensen moved to approve the Meadow Lark Estates Division-No.1 as a final plat with zoning of RPA as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hirschi; voting was all in favor; motion carried. It was noted that the Planning and Zoning Commission should schedule a public hearing on the zoning, and the date of July 22, 1975, at 7 P. M. was suggested. Also an Annexation Ordinance and Agreement are to be prepared. I According to Mayor Turnbow, the City has agreed to use its street sweepe:r in the Eastgate Sho,ppingl area while the 17th Street construction is going on. He mentioned also that the County Engineer and Gounty Commissione:rs have approached him on hiring the street sweeper and a man to sweep developed areas of the county such as Mobilehome Estates, Lawndale, etc. If this is arranged, there would be a charge to cover the cost of labor, depreciation, gas, etc;. It was felt by the Council members that this accommodation should be arranged since the County has done much for the City of Ammon, 60 this would be good for public relations. A suggestion was made that the City eould consider having joing ownership of the sweeper with the County and share maintenance - expenses. Engineer Benton will check the miles of. curb and gutter in the County and the City of Ammon so a comparison can be made. Engineer Benton reported that Harold Loveland" as the developer, is making arrangements to extend the main lines for the water and sewer on Romrell Lane between Rawson and Owen Streets. A review of the agreement made with Dorian Crow, who now occupies a home on that block, determined that he is t6 pay a proportionate cost of the waterline when it is put in. It was noted that Mr. Love- land will have to make arrangements with the other property owners on the block for the financing of these improvements, since the City does not have money this year to pay for any of the costs with the 'intent of recovering the amount spent from property owners as the lots are developed. I The Council was informed by Engineer Benton that water samples from the new well were good, so water is being supplied for the city water system from that well now. He explained that the chlorine taste in the water that some residents have called about is a temporary condition resulting from the chemicals used to purify the pump and storage tank before the water cou-ld..be turned into the system. Mayor Turnbow reported-t hat the sprinkler system is being installed in the ~ part of McCowin Park,_ after which the land will be ready to be rolled and planted. According to Councilman Swensen, he is following through on the request to have Ammon taken out of the flood plain for insurance purposes.
