The Scouts were introduced. Hazen Olsen, 3210 East Sunnyside Road, discussed the problem of the two irrigation ditches where they cross at Midway and Southwick. The City installed an elbow and a dive to bring the ditches under the road, but the design is unsatisfactory and has been a problem for several years. Mr. Olsen requested the City repair it or install a manhole for a clean out. Public Works Director David Wadsworth was instructed to visit the site with Mr. Olsen to try to work out a solution. Another problem, Mr. Olsen plans to clean out his irrigation ditch along Midway, and he would like to leave some of the dirt in the low places of City right-of-way instead of hauling it away. The second problem should be considered when Wadsworth and Olsen get together. A meeting was scheduled for Friday, April 20, at 10:00 A.M. Lloyd Stanger, 2625 Salmon, registered a complaint against his neighbor, Roger Clements, 2615 Salmon Street. Clements is operating Alpine Excavating and Snow Removal from his home. About a year ago the business had one dump truck and one backhoe, however, business has escalated and there are four dump trucks, two backhoes, one front end loader, and four employees. All this heavy equipment is hard on the City streets and is not an allowable use in a residential zone. Another neighbor of Stangers, George Ramirez, 2065 Falcon, owns a continu- ously barking dog which is annoying. The new Animal Control Officer will try to solve the Ramirez dog problem. Councilman Browning moved to authorize Mayor Ard to draft a letter to Roger Clements to eliminate the problem with the heavy equipment within ten days. The motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser.

The City of Ammon plans to participate in "Idaho Is Too Great To Litter I Centennial Spring Cleanup Day" on Saturday, May 5, 1990. David Roseberry has volunteered to participate for his Eagle Scout proj ect. Jeanne Longmore's Cub Scouts have asked to cleanup the area around the tennis courts and McCowin Park. Jonathan Mohr wants to plant some treels for his Eagle Scout project. He will be contacting the City Office for a su~tab1e area near Well No. 7 to plant the trees. As specified in the Law Enforcement A r ement between Bonneville County and City of Ammon, Deputies Greg Black and Greg R x visited Council Meeting. Deputy Black discussed the flashing lights marking he school crossing on Ammon Road. The lights are an improvement, but at pre ent they are not working simultaneously and need adjustment. James D. Walker, Assistant Fire Chief reported on the 1990 Fire Prevention Seminar he attended at North Idaho Co1 ege, Coeur d'A1ene, Idaho. He attended a section on underground storage tanks, and he highlighted the recommendations. It is advisable to remove underground s orage tanks as soon as possible; safety measures to be used in removal; and the areas of possible leakage in pressurized tanks were pinpointed. The Fire De a tment should review building plans for commercial development, and they need a set of plans to keep on file. It would be helpful for the City to post a l' st of all permits which residents are required to obtain. The weed season is tarting, and it is important to be aware I of the potential problem areas. Prope ty owners should be advised to cleanup vacant lots or the City will step in to ow and bill for costs. The fire engines are running well. Five new vo1unte rs have joined the Fire Department. Intermountain Gas Company donated a 198 Chevrolet metro-van, but the department has not determined how to utilize it. Tuck No. 1 is larger than needed, so they may be able to sell it for a profit. There is a question of what sections of the Uniform Fire Code to adopt and wh t sections to delete. A copy of Idaho Falls' code adoption will be obtained. Vaughn Wagoner, Manager of the Ammon ranch of Valle Bank, visited briefly. Valley Bank cares about the City of A on, and they want Ammon's business. He left some brochures to explain the Feder I Deposit Insurance program. Reports: Engineer Benton advised the Highway Department has requested a map update on streets. The information req ested will be prepared by next meeting. I I I Book 7-277 April 19, 1990 Public Works Director David Wadsworth reported on the door repair proj ect and the gas heater for Well No.7. There was a problem at Well No.5 with the wiring which caused approximately $800 damage. A claim will be filed with the insurance company to see if any of the expense can be recovered. The pump for Well No. 3 has been pulled for repairs. Councilman Browning reviewed revisions included in a draft copy of a Bonneville County Ordinance and map establishing an area of impact in the unincorporated portion of Bonneville County surrounding the City of Ammon which was prepared by Lee Nellis, Consulting Planner. Councilman Maeser advised that the Postal Department awarded a bid for a branch office at Dimple's Donuts on East 17th Street. Emergency equipment has had difficulty getting down Circle S Drive because of the on street parking. The Council needs to look at whether or not the street should be posted for no parking in the street. Councilman Maeser recommended that a letter be sent to each resident on Circle S Drive advising that the City Council planned to vote on the "no parking" at the meeting on May 3. Julie Ferguson, City employee hired to work with Animal Control, has been off with a work injury. Another employee, Robert P. Thompson, has been hired to fill in for Julie. Councilman Crandall reported on fiscal operations. Claims were approved. Councilman Anderson reported Bob Hale wants to operate a shaved ice stand at the swimming pool again this year. Mr. Hale is willing to negotiate with the City, but he is anxious to have a commitment as soon as possible. So far, he is the only interested applicant. It was recommended, if no other applicants inquire by May 15, negotiations could be worked out with Mr. Hale. In the past, the agreement has been worked out verbally. Councilman Anderson received an inquiry from a scoutmaster about an exclusive concession permit for Peterson Park. Past policies were reviewed. It was agreed that permits should be obtained, but no one would have exclusive rights. Ted Steinman, who works at the INEL site, parks his vehicle all day on Samuel Street by the Mansion House. The Mansion House has tried to deny Mr. Steinman all day parking in the space their customers park, but he questions their authority to restrict parking on a parking street. The pros and cons of parking in the street were discussed. No official determination was made, but Attorney Anderson counseled that the City Officials have the authority to designate, by ordinance or resolution, restricted parking areas. Established parking policies need to be researched. Mayor Ard discussed Dennis Austad's V Haul operations at Grand Teton Self Storage. Citizens are concerned about Mr. Austad's present plans, and his previous agreement to maintain landscaped area on Seventeenth Street and on Falcon Drive. Major concern is where does he plan to park the V-Haul vehicles. It appears he plans to black top along Sand Creek and access on to East Seventeenth Street. The City cannot stop him from black topping along Sand Creek because that is the irrigation district's responsibility. However, the City can limit the access on East Seventeenth Street. Presently there is an emergency access on East Seventeenth Street, but the regular access is on Falcon Drive. Public Works Director Wadsworth was assigned to check into Mr. Austad's plans. The letter from Attorney Anderson to Blaine Davis regarding parking of his refrigeration truck in a residential area brought results. The truck has been parked at Well No. 7 more regularly.
