Rich L. McIsaac, 2010 Avocet, requested a home occupation permit to do
communications service and installation work out of his home. The applicant has
been employed in this type of work for eleven years, but he has been unemployed
for about a month. He has decided to try self-employment as a means of family
income. Basically, he will provide service in response to telephone calls
received at his residence. There will be no employees and little traffic. Should
the operation grow and justify it, a regular business will be established
elsewhere. Councilman Crandall moved to gnant a home occupation permit to Rich
L. McIsaac, 2010 Avocet, conditioned upon no employees and compliance with other
conditions outlined in the zoning ordinance ll-5-27-H. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Anderson. Roll call vote: Crandall: Yes; Anderson - Yes; Maeser -
Yes. The motion carried unanimously. (Councilman Browning did not arrive at the
meeting until after this motion.)
Councilman Crandall moved to accept the minutes of City Council Meeting held
January 18, 1990, as written with correction of two spelling errors. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Browning. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Browning -
Yes; Anderson - Yes; Maeser - Yes. The motion carried unanimously.
The Council reviewed the status of the request for Special Use Permit by Kay and
MarJean Reiman, 3155 Rawson Street, which has been tabled at each Council Meeting
since December 7, 1989. Kay Reiman reported that Larry Shuldt of Bonneville
County and Brett Manwaring, mobile home dealer, have been working on the
inspection of the proposed move-on to see if it meets the Uniform Building Code.
Reimans requested that action by the City Council be tabled again until the
inspection is completed. Councilman Crandall moved to table action on the Reiman
request until City Council Meeting on February 15, 1990. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Browning. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Browning - Yes; Anderson -
Yes; Maeser - Yes. The motion to table carried unanimously.
The report entitled "Annual Review of Sewer Service Charge, Year - 1989" prepared
by the Public Works Division of the City of Idaho Falls, was studied. For the
coming year, the rate for the City of Ammon will increase. The rate for
collection system maintenance is $24.51 per service per year or $2.0425 per
service per month, and the treatment cost is $0.4055/1,000 gallons of flow. The
City of Ammon entered into a cooperative agreement for sewage treatment with the
City of Idaho Falls on December 21, 1972, and it has been updated only by the
annual review report. EPA is requesting a letter of intent from City of Idaho
Falls and City of Ammon for pre-treatment. EPA's concern is hazardous waste.
The Department of Commerce has invited representatives of our community to attend
the Gem Community Infrastructure Improvement Workshops being held throughout the
state during the month of February. The workshops will include training on local
responsibilities in capital budgeting and planning, and external financial
resources for infrastructure. One of the workshops will be held in Rigby on
February 20, 1990.
A City Council work meeting was scheduled for Thursday, February 22, 1990, at 7:00
P.M. to review the budget and consider maj or proj ects and equipment priorities.
Russell N. Swensen, former Mayor, voiced concern that the postal service at
Eastgate Drug is being discontinued. The City of Ammon, with a population of

much smaller than Ammon have their own ost office and their own zip code, but
the City of Ammon has not been succes ful in obtaining either. The Council
decided to investigate the possibilities and to discuss the matter again at the
next City Council Meeting. Councilman Maeser agreed to contact Congressman
Richard Stallings.

Blaine Davis, 1895 Avocet Drive, inqu. red about the status of the complaint
against him as a result of the noise a annoyance caused by the motor on his
refrigeration truck running to maintain the temperature while it is parked at
his home. Distribution of frozen food is Davis' livelihood, and he believes
the complaints to be a harassment. At his time of the year, the truck runs a
negligible amount of time, and at other imes, he has tried to control the noise.
