Ammon-Lincoln 3135 Meadow 3145 Meadow Lane 3105 Meadow 3105 Meadow No action was taken because the City Council tabled the Public Hearing on October 17, 1991, pending decisions regarding Ammon Road. It was requested the petition be filed with the other information concerning the rezone request. Steve Serr, Bonneville County Zoning Administrator, discussed the need for the County, Ammon, Ucon, and lona to adopt some updates to the energy code for total electric homes. He explained the operation of the energy conservation program since Ammon accepted the early adopter program effective May 1, 1987, and entered into a joint powers agreement with Bonneville County for code enforcement as of September 3, 1987. At the inception of the program the City of Ammon passed Ordinance No. 203 to adopt the July 1986 edition of the Model Conservation Standards Equivalent Code. The present contract with Bonneville Power Administration for incentives and assistance ends December 31, 1991, and in order to comply with the new contract provisions, they want participants to adopt a more current code edition. Bonneville County is willing to continue to administer the energy program, but they recommend the entities involved hold a hearing to consider the updates and to initiate action to adopt the 1990 code. The hearing could be conducted on an indvidual basis or it could be held jointly with a quorum of the governing body from each of the entities involved. The new contract period starts January 1, 1992, so action must be completed before then to eliminate risk of being denied participation. Another area of the program which was addressed is the reimbursement for technical assistance. Bonneville County has been receiving the funds for administering the program throughout the County. BPA is backing off on the amount of funds to the County and offering each entity the opportunity to enter into a separate contract to receive funds. It was recommended that Ammon, Ucon and lona each enter into a separate contract with BPA, and then reimburse the County to help with the administration costs. The Council discussed various energy standards, the difference in the old and new codes, and the benefits of energy conservation. Attorney Anderson advised the Council to participate in a joint hearing, and then consider the ordinance to adopt the 1990 edition of the Northwest Energy Code, Model Conservation Standards Equivalent Code, at a regular City Council Meeting. Councilman Crandall moved to hold a Public Hearing in conjunction with Bonneville County, the City of Ucon, and the City of lona on the energy conservation program as it relates to the energy efficient construction of buildings and to authorize Bonneville County to publish notice of the hearing. The motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser. Roll call vote: Crandall - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Hall - Yes; Anderson - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Alvin Ward, 3515 Samuel Street, asked what can be done about the nusiance of parking on Samuel Street from the Mansion House. He stated he had no objection to the Mansion House, but they should have off-street parking. Wards have problems getting out of their driveway because of the parked vehicles. Three or four individuals contribute to the problem because they park their vehicles between the Mansion House and Ammon Road all day while they work at the INEL site. He suggested the City erect some signs to restrict the length of parking time. Following discussion, the Council agreed to contact the property owners in the problem area on Samuel Street to see if they would object to restricting the parking near the Mansion House. If the property owners do not object, the City will erect some two hour parking signs. The Council authorized the Mayor to address a letter to the INEL bus department to solicit their cooperation in enforcing the two hour parking and to encourage all day parkers to use a different parking area. In regard to the request for a home occupation permit for Douglas and Yvonne Brown, 1705 Avocet Drive, the Council decided the Browns should be asked to submit a letter or statement to show how they comply with the requirements of Code ll-5-27H. Upon receipt of such a letter, the Council will take action on the request. Reports: Attorney Anderson called attention to the Construction about the fire suppression system. Skidmore's attorney, sent a letter to Attorney conditions that Skidmore had agreed to and had been unresolved problem with Skidmore On July 30, 1991, Reed Moss, Anderson outlining a list of imposed by his insurance company I I I I Book 7-401 November 21, 1991 December 05, 1991 to reduce the fire risk and to assure the insurability of his building. Past discus- sions indicate these conditions may be acceptable to the City Council and the Fire Department. Attorney Anderson recommended Skidmore and the City both acknowledge acceptance of these conditions so a certificate of occupancy can be issued. This action would not be taken on the basis of waiving the requirement, but on the basis that at the time the building was built, there was not an enforceable requirement for a sprinkling system. Councilman Anderson commented on the traffic created by Kmart' s grand opening. Residents have requested the City to paint some cross walks on East 17th Street, put up some pedestrian crossing signs, or install some stop lights. The Council recognized the problem, but agreed to monitor the situation and proceed cautiously. Public Works Foreman Rick Williams was asked to contact Rich Hardy of Idaho Traffic Safety about white striping the two traffic lanes on East 17th Street. At the request of Keith and Kevin Roberts, Sanitation Department workers, Councilman Anderson brought up personnel matters as follows: (1) The microwave is locked in the Public Works Office and is not readily accessible to all the employees. (2) They would like to have the opportunity for on-call duty so they can earn extra time. (3) They have worked for the City since 1979 at the same job, and they would like to be considered for other jobs occasionally to spell them off the garbage detail. (4) It is time for a raise. The employees can work out the problem with the microwave. All employees are scheduled for a raise with the pay period ending November 21, 1991. As for the other requests, the employees need to prove capability and responsibility. The annual audit is nearing completion. Galusha plan to review it with Councilman is finalized. Claims were approved. Representatives of Galusha, Higgins, and Crandall and City Clerk Jensen before it Mayor Ard reported on progress of Forsgren and Associates on the reV1Slons to the design plan for the Ammon Road proj ecL The plans have been sent to the State Transportation Department for their review and approval.

Seminary to be built in the R-l Zone by the new Hillcrest High School. Following their hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended to the City Council that the permit be granted. (2) Commission members need up-to-date zoning maps. A goal was set to provide them with maps by December 31, 1991, and the City Clerk was assigned to work with Engineer Benton on the maps.
