opened as a continuation of the public hearing on the proposed annexa-
of Parcel 4 Fred Kvarfordt LeMo ne Johnston and Calvin Slater
ro erties as sche~uled in the special meeting of April 5, 1978. Reference was made
to a letter from Attorney Anderson containing information on his research of the owner
history of the properties and a statement that that tracts are not legally subject to
annexation without consent of the owners. Mayor Wehmann reported that he had contacted
Mr. Kvarfordt who stated that he does not want his property to be annexed, and Mr. Johns-
ton has also indicated objection to the proposed annexation, which was initiated by the
City. Councilman Rowberry moved to terminate the hearing on Parcel 4 and abide by the
ruling of the City Attorney. The motion was seconded by Councilman Swensen; voting was
all in favor; motion carried.
The next item of business was a public hearing on the Darwin Judy property as advertised,
and it was noted that a letter requesting annexation with an initial zoning of RPA was
submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Judy and that this is the same property which was previously
considered as a new division of the Felt and Waite Addition. The matter of the width of
Sunnyside Road, which runs along the north side of the proposed subdivision and which is
expected to be widened in the future, was brought up by Derrald Ricks, and it was re-
commended by the Council that the Judys allow the same amount of extra right-of-way for
that street as was done in the existing Felt and Waite Addition, and Engineer Benton, re -
presenting the developers, indicated that this is what is planned. It was noted that the
lots are to be a minimum of 120 feet in width with no sidewalk, curb, and gutter, and
Mayor Wehmann pointed out that the streets with 50 feet of right-of-way must have 36 feet
of paving and those with 60 feet of right-of-way are to have 43 feet of paving. Questions
regarding the meaning of initial zoning and Overlay 6 were answered. An item which was
mentioned to be incorporated in the development drawings and annexation agreement was
the need for a sewer lift station for the southern part of the subdivision, which is to
be put in at the expense of the developer, with the possibility of the property owners
in that location being charged an additional amount in their monthly billing for sewer
service to go for the maintenance of the lift station. It was determined that the re-
commendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission was approval of the annexation and
initial zoning request as advertised. Councilman Swensen moved to approve the preliminary
plat as presented. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rowberry; voting was all in
favor; motion carried unanimously.
I
Councilman Lee moved to adjourn the special public hearing; the motion was seconded by
Councilman Swensen; voting was all in favor; mot5.on carried. The meeting was adjourned
at 8:15 P.M.

season which is to be published in the newspaper once on May , and the Council members
indicated approval. It was noted that this proclamation establishes rules similar to those
in effect in the City of Idaho Falls and which are different than in the past in that they
do not restrict the number of hours for sprinkling each da~and sprinkling at schools,
parks, and other public lands at night is made permissive rather than mandatory.
The following addition to the City Employee Benefits Policy was taken under considera-
tion: Death in Family: 1. An employee may be granted leave with pay at his regular
base rate in the event of the death of any member of the employee's immediate family.
2. Immediate family means spouse of the employee; father or mother of the employee or
spouse; sister or brother of the employee or spouse; children or legally adopted children
of the employee or spouse, or both. 3. Employees may be granted leave with pay up to a
maximum of five (5) working days. Illness in Family: 1. Employees may absent themselves
from work due to serious illness of a member of their immediate family up to a maximum of
three (3) days per fiscal year, and benefits under this provision shall be charged against

Mayor Wehmann explained that Jerry Hoggan of 3900 Wanda St. has asked for a refund at this
time in accordance with the arrangements made by motion of the Council in the meeting of
May 5, 1976, and it was determined that the records show a payment by Mr. Hoggan of $200
for a sewer connection fee on August 31, 1976, and that the Iona-Bonneville Sewer District
has now installed a sewer line at this location. Councilwoman Dille moved to refund $200
to Jerry Hoggan. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rowberry; voting was all in favor;
motion carried. The clerk was instructed to pay the specified refund from the dedicated
Sewer Connection Fee Fund.
With reference to the City policy for driveways in City right-of-way, Mayor Wehmann I
pointed out that the policy was approved on Feb. 16, 1977, but was not officially adopted,
so action on this is needed, as advised by the City Attorney, in order that this might
become part of the City standards for all construction. Engineer Benton agreed to re-
vise the drawing which goes with the written policy. Councilwoman Dille moved to adopt
the "Standards of Construction of Driveways on City Owned Right-of-way in Non-Curb-and-
Gutter Areas" with a revised drawing. The motion was seconded by Councilman Rowberry;
voting was all in favor; motion carried. Engineer Benton was also asked to prepare
written standards for the width of paved roadways in non-curb-and-gutter areas to be
adopted officially.
Mayor Wehmann asked for ideas on matters that he might present at the breakfast meeting
with President Carter in Portland on Friday, May 5, which he has been invited to attend.
Engineer Benton's suggestion that small cities receive extra funds in Revenue Sharing
rather than through grants that are difficult to research and apply for was felt to be
a good one to mention.
A copy of the letter and resolution that has gone out to other Cities regarding joining
Ammon in the Utah Power & Light Company rate-increase case was given to each of the Council
members for information. Mayor Wehmann reported that he met with the Principal of the
Hillview School about a trailerhouse that has been moved in there for school use, and was
given assurance that someone would come in to obtain the required building permit. Con-
cern was expressed by Mayor Wehmann about the fence posts that have been set in across
the dedicated right-of-way at the west end of Molen Street, and the clerk was asked to
contact the adjacent property owner who is responsible and give notice that any fence I
erected in that location will have to be removed in the future if the City opens the
street for travel. Regarding replacement of sand bags, Councilman Swensen reported that
the papers which must be filed with the Bureau of Reclamation have been obtained, and
Councilwoman Dille moved to make application for replacement of sand bags used for the
Teton Dam flood and to authorize Mayor Wehmann to sign the application; the motion was
seconded by Councilman Swensen; voting was all in favor; motion carried. Councilman Lee
reported that the insurance company has paid Earl Barrow on the burned fence damage claim.
Mayor Wehmann mentioned that officials of the UPRR have given assurance that the necessary
papers regarding the crossing for Mountain Valley Estates will be sent immediately. A re-
port by the Clerk indicated claims to pay in the amount of $11,432.14. Claims were approved
for payment.
