The City has the option to request a larger line and to pay the additional cost. A decision I from the Council is needed regarding the waterline size. Mayor Ard suggested the line be large enough to serve additional areas and to allow for some well planning. Engineer Benton discussed subdivision development. It was decided there should be a 10" line at Judy Street in Stonehaven. Well No.8 went down again, and it did not come back on line. The pump technician has been consulted to help work out the problems. Operations of the City water system were discussed in detail by the Council with Rick Williams and Engineer Benton. There is a need to maintain a good, constant, uninterrupted pressure in our water system. It was recommended that some written records be collected to help analyze water distribution. Water rates may need to be raised to provide water improvement funds for future growth. Councilmember Bean moved to increase the speed limit on Ammon Road to forty (40) miles per hour. Councilmember'Hall seconded the motion. This is according to the recommendations made when Ammon Road was reconstructed. Public Works was requested to change the signs.

The railroad representative said all he can do is to post the railroad property. The City does not plan any action against the railroad. Recently there was a fire call to Valley Care Center. Concern has been expressed I that no one responded. However, this was not true. There was response, but there was a problem regarding the radio. The call involved a fan blowing dust.
