The pledge of allegiance to the flag was conducted by Mayor Wehmann and prayer was
offered by Councilman Monson.
The minutes of the meeting of May 7, 1981, were approved as prepared.
An application for a sign variance submitted by Bruce Lind of AMR Corporation was con-
sidered by the Council. The drawing attached to the application located the proposed
signs on the northeast and northwest corners of the intersection at 17th Street and
Falcon Drive. Mr. Dille, representing the applicant, pointed out that the setback, the
kind of sign, and the height of sign may need to be looked at in relation to the zoning
regulations for the requested location. Mayor Wehmann expressed the feeling that
traffic safety should be the main concern, and it was agreed that action should be post-
poned until the next meeting to allow time to do some on-site checking for the purpose
of making sure that the view of motorists using the intersection would not be obstructed
by the signs.
A complaint about children not being allowed to wear "water wings" in the pool was dis-
cussed and a policy that such devices can be used only if the child is accompanied by an
adult was considered. Evan Thomas, Pool Manager, explained that there has been very little
problem with handling such matters on a "case to case situation", and it was agreed that
the pool manager would be supported in the existing policy with no change.
Regarding Planning and Zoning matters, Gary Butterworth reported that a recommendation
was made that the developer of the condominium ro"ect in Monty Howell Addition not be
allowed to have a variance to the Dwelling Group Planned) ordinance--see minutes of
May 7, 1981--, and he noted that the commission members had concurred with the changes to
the Comprehensive Plan as recommended by the Mayor and City Council.
In response to an inquiry by Councilman Rowberry, approval was indicated for the use of
a portion of North McCowin Park as a soccer field on a temporary basis. Councilman Row-
berry also reviewed details for the forthcoming salmon barbecue activity. Councilman
Swensen noted that there is now a sign at the intersection of Ammon-Lincoln Road and High-
way 26 (Beeches Corner) designating a distance of 5 miles to Ammon. Weed removal and
street patching work were mentioned in a report by the Public Works Director. Mayor Weh-
mann announced that the ribbon cutting for the Valley Bank, the first bank in Ammon at
17th Street and Falcon Drive will be at 9 A.M. on July 20th, and he indicated that ~ tenta-
tive budget for Fiscal Year 1982 may be ready for review at the August 6th meeting.
Claims in the amount of $14,605.53 were presented by the City Clerk and were approved for
payment. It was moved by Councilman Monson and seconded by Councilwoman Dille that the
meeting adjourn; voting was all in favor; meeting adjourned at 9:05 P.M.
