Betty Crumb of 2270 Curlew Drive introduced the subject of a iiamily situation at the
Ronald Labrum home at 2295 Dove Drive which is extremely disturbing and somewhat
threatenlng to the nelghborhood. Others present, including Ernie and Mary Flegel, Earl
and Linda Cleverly, Jean Gullixson, Doug Brinkman, Shawn Garbett, Henry Crumb, and David
Kraykovic, related experiences with bad language, violent anger, BB guns, name calling,
etc. They expressed concern, not only for themselves, but for the members of the Labrum
family, and observed that there especially seems to be a need for Mrs. Labrum to have
help for her apparent inability to control her anger and calm herself down. After con-
siderable discussion, Attorney Anderson agreed to contact the County Prosecuting Attorney
and to try to set up appointments fOT a committee consisting of himself, Ernie Flegel,
Earl Cleverly, Mayor Swensen, Councilwoman Dille, and Councilman Quigley, to meet with
representataves of appropriate agencies to get some action going to help Mrs. Labrum and
her family with the problems which were described.
Attention was given to the matter of an invitation for the City of Ammon to join the
Bonneville County Fire Protection District, which has been in the process of deliberation
for several months. The presence ,of .the Fire District Chief, Bruce Allcot t, and the
Fire District Commission President, Dale Rockwood, was recognized. Reference was made
to a letter dated March 15, 1984, requesting certain information written by Councilman
Williamson, representing the City of Ammon, and a reply dated May 28, 1984, signed by the
District Fire Chief. The terms of the District's mutual aid agreement with the City of
Idaho Falls were discussed. It was indicated that the City of Ammon is no longer included
in the original agreement which was signed in 1970, and Chief Allcott explained that Ammon
would again have back up from the City of Idaho Falls if a decision is made to join the
District. Chief Allcott reviewed answ'ers to questions about the proposed use of equipment
and volunteers from Ammon, representation on the Fire District Commission, and approximate
taxation costs if Ammon joins the District, all of which were mentioned in the letters
referred to previously. Other subjects brought up for discussion were the possibility
of being able to join the District later and the procedure for getting out of the District.
Councilman Williamson expressed his viewpoint that the City still has several options such
as staying with its good active volunteer fire department recognizing that there would be
a need for back-up equipment, looking at other mutual aid agreements or contracts with the
District or the City of Idaho Falls, buying additional equipment and hiring some staff to
work with the volunteers, getting out of firefighting and contracting with the Fire Dis-
trict, etc. He pointed out that he would like to know definitely if a contract with the
City of Idaho Falls is possible before making any decision. Appreciation was expressed
to the Fire District representatives, and it was noted that the District is expecting an
answer from the City within thirty days. Further comments by volunteer firemen were
relative to finances, equipment, building, training, etc., that would be needed to have
a fire department which could furnish adequate fire protection if the City does not join
the Fire District and mutual aid is discontinued.
The following resolution (No. 84-2) was presented for consideration:
WHEREAS Section 50-1715 of the Idaho Code provides that, in addition to
other methods of collection provided in the Code, delinquent Local Improve-
ment District installments may be certified to the tax collector and, when
so certified, shall be extended on the tax rolls and collected as are
property taxes;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the following Local Improve-
ment District delinquent installments are certified to be extended on the
tax rolls, as provided by law:
