The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was directed by Councilman Crandall, and the
invocation was offered by Councilman Maeser.
Councilman Maeser moved to approve the minutes of City Council Meeting held
December 16, 1993. The motion was seconded by Councilman Anderson. Roll call
vote: Maeser - Yes; Anderson - Yes; Hall - Yes; Crandall - Yes. The motion
carried unanimously.
The request to remove the animal overlay (OL6) from the properties in Southwick
Addition was discussed. A Public Hearing before the City Council was conducted on
December 2, 1993, but no action was taken pending preparation of a subdivision map
to designate the properties for and against. The Council requested the map be
included as an exhibit to the record of this meeting. The map shows the opinions
expressed at the City Council's Public Hearing, except a letter of opposition to
removal of OL6 dated December 18, 1993, from Paul J. Bunnell was added. The
Council determined, since the situation is sufficiently divided, to remove the
overlay would infringe on the rights of the owners in the subdivision. Probably
the overlay will eventually be done away with, but because of the opposition
of several parties who want to keep the overlay and the recommendation from the
Planning and Zoning Commission, Councilman Crandall moved to deny the removal of
OL6 from the Southwick Addition and to let it remain as now zoned but at a future
time, if property owners want to reapply, the Council will consider their request.
Their motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes;
Maeser - Yes; Hall - Yes; Anderson - Yes. The motion carried unanimously.
The business of the old City Council was concluded.
The installation of the City Officials elected on November 2, 1993, proceeded.
City Clerk Aleen C. Jensen administered oaths of office individually to C. Bruce
Ard as Mayor for a term of four years, to Ira Kimball Hall Junior as Councilman
for a term of four years, and to Steven J. Loveland as Councilman for a term of
four years. Following repeating of the oath, each official signed the "Oath of
Office" and was presented with a "Certificate of Election."
The Mayor and City Council thanked Marvin J. Anderson for the opportunity to work
with him as City Councilman. Councilman Crandall read an excerpt from a History
of Ammon prepared several years ago by Vera Lee:
"The village grew from a population of 447 in 1950 to 1,450 in 1959. Ammon became
a second-class city in March, 1961, and had a population of 2,468 in 1965. Adding
this new growth to Ammon was the building of Hillview Addition north and west of
the Ammon townsite which was annexed by divisions from 1952 to 1960, and Peterson
Park Addition west of the townsite which was annexed in 1959.
"The first Mayor of Ammon after it became a City in 1961 was Reed Molen, and the
first City Councilmen were Roland T. Romrell, Devon E. Hammer, Darrel G. Long,
Harold Loveland, with Lynn Sanders as City Clerk, and LaVern Williams as Marshall
and Maintenance Supervisor. New officials elected in 1965 were Mayor Melvin
Richardson, and Councilmen George Wehmann, Keith Brown, Roy Southwick Jr., and Leo
Heer, with Dermont Ricks as City Clerk and LaVern Williams as Maintenance
Supervisor.

"Thomas D. Kershaw was elected Mayor in November 1969 and served from January 1970
until July 1970. Keith Turnbow was appointed to fill the vacancy in July 1970.
At the next election, he was elected Mayor and served until January 1976. George
Wehmann served as Mayor from January 1976 until January 1984. Russell Swensen
was Mayor from January 1984 until January 1988. Gerald B. "Jerry" Mitchell took
office in January 1988 and served through September 1988. Bruce Ard was appointed
to fill the vacancy in October 1988 and was elected in November 1989."
Mayor Ard gave a State of the City message. Ammon Road has finally been
completed. The City is financially stronger than last year. We have been
progressing a little each year financially. A volunteer group has a recycling
program going, and a new fire truck is scheduled for delivery on January 15.
There are no major projects on schedule at this time. It has been a good year, I
and things are coming that should benefit Ammon. The development on Hitt Road
and East 17th Street promises to be a real asset although the affect on the
residents of the mobile home park is unfortunate.
Dixie Cutforth reported for the Planning and Zoning Commission. John Sheppard,
3565 Georgia Lane, is interested in developing his property along South Ammon Road
and is contemplating a request for rezone to commercial. He was advised that the
area has not been designated for commercial development. However, multi-family
development may be a possibility. The other item of business was review of the
site plans prepared by BRS Architects for the development by Cantlon Properties
on the corner of Hitt Road and East 17th Street. Planning and Zoning recommended
approval of the site plans except for the seven accesses. The developers hope
to get approval of four accesses from the City of Idaho Falls.
Jeff Summers, Executive Director of E.C.I.P.D.A., discussed the services provided
by that agency. They work with cities, counties, and special districts on projects
to benefit communities and create jobs. E.C.I.P.D. A. has become involved with
Ammon at this time because there is a potential for a proj ect to aid with the
development at Hitt Road and East 17th Street. One of the tools used is tax
increment financing or urban renewal. The increase in tax generated by the
development is captured to pay for improvements. The Council expressed concern
that the City has planned that Cantlon Properties would be responsible to move
Sand Creek and to participate in widening Hitt Road and signalization to the Hitt
Road/East 17th Street intersection. Now the developer is introducing an urban
renewal program involving a municipal bond. Jeff Summers discussed the urban I
renewal eligibility report and answered questions about the process involved to .
help the Council be comfortable with entering into such a program. The Council
agreed the area needs to be developed for the benefit of the community, but they
do not want to encumber the City to benefit a private developer. This issue
should be addressed in the planning process.
Councilman Maeser moved to accept the findings of need brought forth tonight in
the discussion and in the eligibility report for an urban renewal area. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Hall. Roll call vote: Maeser - Yes; Hall -
Yes; Loveland - Yes; Crandall - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. In order
to attract industry, the City of Ammon has to provide incentives, and this program
enables the City of Ammon to reach out.
Councilman Crandall moved to pass Resolution No. 94-1, CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION
IMPLEMENTING THE STATUTORY CRITERIA OF AND EMPOWERING THE AMMON URBAN RENEWAL
AGENCY, MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS OF FACT, AND DETERMINING THE SOUTH EAST CORNER
OF 17TH STREET AND HITT ROAD TO BE A DETERIORIATED AREA. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Maeser. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Hall - Yes;
Loveland - Yes. The motion carried unanimously.
The creation of an Urban Renewal Commission was discussed.
consists of five individuals, two from the City Council and three
sector. Members serve without pay and the Commission remains in
bond is paid in full.
The Commission
from the private
effect until the
Mayor Ard recommended that the following be appointed to the Urban Renewal
Commission: Larry Thompson for a term of one year, Councilman Greg J. Maeser for
a term of two years; Kenneth Shepherd for a term of three years; Councilman Steven
J. Loveland for a term of four years, and Brad Hallfor a term of five years.

Reports: Attorney Anderson recommended a conference with the Mayor and a
representative of the Transportation Department to iron out percent of
participation details for the Ammon Road Reconstruction Project. Mayor Ard
planned to be out of town for a week, so the Attorney will set up the conference
after Mayor Ard returns.
