Council Minutes 9/12/2006 (197) I I I Book 7-239 October 5, 1989 October 19, 1989 Councilman Browning reported on the street improvement project. Some survey work has been completed on street lights. Requests have been received for street lights on Wanda Street and Sabin Drive. Councilman Maeser discussed about painting the crosswalks. August is probably the best time to paint crosswalks, and this is a poor time. It was agreed to wait to paint crosswalks. The Council discussed installing flashing lights for school crossing on Ammon Road at Samuel Street and Georgia Lane, but no action has been completed. The City is somewhat obligated to follow through. Acting Public Works Director Wadsworth was authorized to get the project underway. The Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce called to invite the Mayor and City Council to a ribbon cutting ceremony for Carl Gray Tires on Friday, October 13, 1989, at 10:30 A.M.

Joe Anderson The pledge of allegiance to the flag was directed by Councilman Crandall, and the invocation was offered by Mayor Ard. Lennis Tirrell of Ammon Speedi Mart discussed new federal laws regulating underground storage tanks, and the affect of these laws on the City. Discussion included some of the requirements such as leak detection, corrosion protection, insurance, and spill/overfill prevention. Mr. Tirrell proposed that the City Council consider engaging Ammon Speedi Mart as a supplier of gasoline/diesel for the City vehicles, and thus eliminate the need for the City to become involved in compliance with EPA rulings. Mayor Jay Radford of the City of Ucon reviewed the proposed Fire Department Mutual Aid Agreement between City of Ucon and City of Ammon. Revisions to the agreement were discussed. The revisions recommended are: (1) Change the third Whereas to read "... in order to combat fires inside the City limits, but that each of the Cities have other equipment ... II (2) Item 2 add other Cities may be notified by means of the County fire dispatch. (3) Item 10 compensation as per Schedule D. The City Council for the City of Ucon has studied the agreement with the proposed revisions, and they have authorized Mayor Radford to sign. The City of Ammon agreed to have Attorney Anderson prepare the agreement in final form and send it to Mayor Radford for his signature. Denise Heaton, 355 Tie Breaker, requested a business and/or home occupation license to distribute and instruct in making porcelain keepsake statues. The bus- iness is operated under a franchise agreement with Creative Keepsakes, Bountiful, Utah. Mrs. Heaton will be working with church groups, etc. throughout Southeastern Idaho. All of the inventory will be stored in a unit at the Grand 240 October 19, 1989 Teton Self Storage, 2595 East Seventeenth Street, and Creative Keepsakes will service her operation at the storage unit. She will receive telephone calls, make appointments, and keep records in her home. There will be no employees. She would like to obtain one license that would allow her to operate throughout the area, however, the Council advised they had jurisdiction only for Ammon. It was determined a home occupation permit would meet the requirements for the operation in Ammon. Councilman Crandall moved to grant a home occupation permit to Denise Heaton, 355 Tie Breaker, as a distributor of Creative Keepsakes. The motion was seconded by Councilman Browning. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Browning - Yes; Maeser - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Kitty Dooley, newly appointed auditor for the City of Ammon, introduced herself to the City Council. Preparations are being made to begin the annual audit for 1989 Fiscal Year. It was agreed that the presentation date for the completed audit would be the second Council Meeting in January or January 18, 1990. The Council members discussed how they would like to work with the auditor. Sugges- tions were to develop a better understanding of the financial operations by communicating on a one to one basis, identification and use of carry-over funds, and tax information. I Michael Jepsen of Jepsen, Moreton Insurance Company discussed the City's present insurance coverage. Our policy is due for renewal on November 1, 1989. Mr. Jepsen did not have a firm quote for the cost of renewal, however, he estimated a decrease in premium because of our experience rating and the present soft market. Coverage was reviewed line by line and it includes property, special property, general liability, automobile liability and physical damage, errors and omissions. The insurance is written with the Hartford Company. Jepsen, Moreton Insurance Company will submit a definite proposal and Stein-McMurray (endorsed by AIC) also has prepared a proposal for the City of Ammon. Frank T. Butler, 3575 Sunnyside Road, explained a dog problem. His neighbor, Chris Wright, 3565 Sunnyside Road, has four adult dogs and twelve pups. The dogs howl at the sirens, they bark constantly, and they cause a bad odor. The Animal Control officer will be assigned to eliminate the problem. John Van Dyck, Scout, introduced himself and explained that he was working on a citizenship in the community merit badge. Carol Van Dyck, mother, asked to speak about a problem at the Ammon Elementary School where she is employed as an aid I to supervise playground activities at lunch time. The City garbage truck comes to dump the garbage dumpsters when the students are out for lunch. They back the garbage truck in, and it is dangerous because students are unpredictable. Lunch hour is 11: 30 A. M. to 1: 10 P. M. Some of the crew has been walking behind the truck to watch for children. Acting Public Works Director Wadsworth promised to try to get the school garbage dumped before 11:30 A.M. Michael Nye of the Shelley office of Utah Power and Light visited the meeting to observe how everything was going. Permission was requested by the City to place the flashing lights for the school crossings on Ammon Road on the power poles until after the Ammon Road proj ect is completed. Mr. Nye granted permission provided their poles are close enough to the road and provided it will not be a long-term installation. They will work with the City to try to utilize the power poles. Councilman Browning moved to approve the minutes of City Council Meeting held September 28, 1989. The motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser. Roll call vote: Browning - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Crandall - Yes. Motion carried unanimously. Representatives of the L.D.S. Church on Central Avenue and Molen Street contacted Mayor Ard about moving their dumpster pad. At present, the City can not dump the garbage dumpster if it is placed on the pad because they can not get the truck in the space provided. The Church has made plans to relocate the dumpster pad, but they request that the City pay for the concrete and the Church will provide I the labor. The Council determined the Church created the problem so the responsibility and the expense belong to the Church. Reports: Engineer Benton reported that he would try to complete the preliminary work for the Ammon Road project and the Flood Plain basement exception by next Council Meeting. Councilman Browning is working on the street light evaluation. The Idaho Falls Sewer Department was contacted regarding the clogged sewer at Aguilera's, 2600 Salmon. It was determined there was no negligence on the part of City of Idaho Falls or City of Ammon. The sewer proposal for the Suitter property is on hold. Details will need to be worked out when further development is planned. Recycl- ing does not appear to be feasible for the City. H-K Construction bid on the two graveled roads that have severe holes, dips, and swales. The one accesses the I I I Book 7-241 October 19, 1989 November 2, 1989 Creekside Apartments and one is Aspen Lane. They presented problems last winter and they are scheduled for gravel and grading as soon as H-K can help us. Councilman Maeser agreed to follow up on the 1990 FY Law Enforcement Contract with Bonneville County. He also agreed to work with Attorney Anderson to expedite completion of the Mutual Aid Agreement with the City of Dcon, the Building Inspection Joint Powers Agreement, and revisions to Ordinance No. 191. The Fire Department's morale is looking better. Stein-McMurray will present their insurance proposal on Tuesday, October 24, 1989, at 7:00 P.M. Mayor Ard reported he had checked out the problem of cars running into Clifford Judy's fence at 3070 Sunnyside Road. There does not seem to be an answer to the problem. The City does not want to assume the liability of a barricade. The school should be notified to install meters at Tie Breaker School and South Bonneville Junior High. A request should be mailed to Progressive Irrigation asking them to fence or do something to eliminate the hazard of the irrigation hole by Ammon Speedi Mart. Mel Brown has sent a letter to the Mayor offering to sell a small piece (1.41 acres) of property adjacent to and behind Well No. Seven. He offered to sell it for $16,000 but said he would accept a reasonable offer. Engineer Benton estimated the property might appraise at $5,000. L. Kent and Wendy Wood, 3545 Samuel Street, filed a claim against the City for damage to their pickup. When the garbage truck was dumping at the landfill, garbage hit the Wood's truck and caused damage. Woods obtained two estimates for repair. It was determined the claim was valid. Councilman Browning moved to authorize the Mayor to pay the claim for the lesser estimate of $181. 69 to L. Kent and Wendy Wood. The motion was seconded by Councilman Crandall. Voting was unanimous in favor. The motion carried. Councilman Browning moved to adj ourn the meeting.
