Council Minutes 06/22/1977 'ZJ76 June 8, 1977 changes that were approved are different from what was advertised. In connection with approving the plat, there was some discussion about wheth- er or not the motion should mention the required improvements since this is to be covered in the annexation agreement and the review of the plans by the City of Idaho Falls. Mr. Benton stated that the developer has al- ready agreed to put in water and sewer lines, curb and gutter, and storm sewer, and it is presumed that sidewalks will be required. Councilwoman Dille moved to approve the platting as presented in Division No. 1 with curb and gutter and sidewalks. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilman Lee moved ~o approve the plattin9 of Division No. 1 of the Ammon 17th Street North Addition as presented, including streets, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and storm sewer. The motion was seconded by Councilman Swensen; voting was all in favor; motion carried unanimouSly. ~~ f7 consider!

I The pledge of allegiance to the flag was led by Councilman Lee; the in- vocation was offered by Mayor Wehmann. The minutes of the regular meet- ing on June 1,1977, and the special public hearing meeting of June 8, 1977, were approved as prepared. Glen Southwick of 2650 Ammon Road presented a complaint about dogs in his neighborhood, stating that he had signed a non-commercial kennel license application at 3440 Rawson St. for Brent Dees for three dogs, but now he has more than that number of dogs. Also he said that the people at 3490 Rawson St. have three dogs without a non-commercial ken- nel license, and that he had called the animal control officer about the barking of the dogs at that address, but was not given any satisfaction that something could be done. Mayor Wehmann agreed to check these matters and get back with Mr. Southwick. The Mayor and Council reviewed an application for a variance which was filed by Jack R. Peterson of 3665 Brookfield Lane requesting permission to build a 2-car garage within 10 feet of property line in an R-P Zone (which requires 20 feet of sideyard for all buildings). It was pointed out that the neighbor, Mardee Burtenshaw, had already signed a note in- dicating no objections to this proposal. Councilman Lee moved to approve the application for a variance for Jack R. Peterson as presented. The motion was seconded by Councilman Swensen; voting was Lee, yes; Swensen, yes; Anderson, yes; Dille, yes; motion carried. I Councilman Swensen explained that Martha Johnson, 478 North 3rd West, Rigby, has filed a claim for repair of a vehicle which she alleges was damaged by hitting a trench which was being repaired at Sunnyside Road and Dal Avenue on June 6,1977. Statements signed by Mrs. Johnson and I c 00 l"- ea w w I I 217 June 22 1977 the city employees involved were acknowledged to be on file, and it was recommended that the advice of the City Attorney be obtained before a decision made about whether or not to approve the claim. The final plat and annexation agreement for the Westwood Addition were discussed. It was noted that the plat did not show the access road from AmmonLincoln Road into the area zoned R2, and the agreement as prepared did not include some of the items which the Mayor and Council felt to be necessary. Specific reference was made to designating the previoulsy mentioned access road as a private street and defining the City's involvement in the cost of water main where a larger size than 8 inches is required. Inasmuch as the developer stated that his financing depends on timely action on this matter, it was agreed that the documents should be revised as discussed and approval be obtained by Mayor Wehmann making telephone contact with all Council members as soon as the papers are ready. (Approval was given and the annexation agreement signed by Mayor Wehmann on June 24, 1977.) FurtlJler discussion was directed toward the need for working out a more efficient procedure for bringing matters concerning plats, annexation agreements, and annexation ordinances before the Mayor and City Council. REPORTS Councilman Swensen- reported that arrangements for a vehicle in which the City Officials can ride in the 4th of July Parade in Idaho Falls are being finalized. Approval was indicated to a recommendation by Councilman Anderson that the rates for public swimming at the pool be changed due to increased costs for salaries and maintenance. Effective July 1, 1977, rates will be $.50 for ages 1-11, $.75 for ages 12-17, and $1.50 for ages 18 and over, with no change in the season ticket or swimming lesson rates. It" was also agreed that the salary for summer employee Rex Williams should be $2.50 per hour effective June 27. Councilwoman Dille had no report, but was asked by Mayor Wehmann to contact the Sheriff about arranging for some of his officers to work extra hours to write tickets on watering violations to be paid dir- ectly by the City of Ammon. According to Councilman Lee, a call for bids will be advertised for 2 French drains in the Southwick Addition, a fence around Well #5, and a number of sidewalk repairs throughout the City, with the bid opening set for July 20. Engineer Butler was instructed to check the City's access to the storm sewer pump station along Sand Creek since it has been noticed that sev- eral residents in the area have been building backyard fences which may be a problem. Mayor Wehmann noted that immediate action is needed on the part of the City Engineer's office to provide an operating manual for Well #6. The City Clerk reported that there were claims to pay in the amount of $8,836.49 and a checking account balance in the General Fund of $16,038.7~ A report by Mayor Wehmann indicated that the Cooperative Agreement for Sewage Treatment is ready to sign and get to the City of Idaho Falls, the new insurance policy has been delivered so the City will be getting a bill for $3,038 for the premium payment, and the testimony to be given at the Utah Power & Light Company hearing in Rexburg on July 19 had to be filed on the previous Tuesday.
