Mr. Karl Gobel of the State Engineering and Rating Bureau of Boise,
Idaho, met with the Council and made a report on his survey of' the City
water system and tire protection equipnent. He said the City should have
larger mains and more fire hydrants - one for every 120,000 square feet.
He suggested that all water mains should not be smaller than 6 inch line.
H'e reported the Hillview addition had plenty of wat.er and water pressure
but the older part of Ammon needs SCllle improvement (larger mains, more
hydrants and etc.).
'!he differEllce between being rated and unrated will save the .people
of' Ammon from 10 to 20 % on tire insurance premiums. If the City had
its own fire equipnent with 100 % donated or volunteer firemen another
10 or 2($ would be saved on fire insurance.
Richard Ager, City Marshall, was asked to investigate the price and
advantages of a two-way radio for his car.
Attorney Joe Anderson was asked to read Ordinance #59 calling f'or a
bond election, which he did. Af'ter some discussion Councilman Darrell Long
made a motion that the City adopt the Ordinance, seconded by Councilman
Harold Loveland. Motion carried.
Counci:JJnan DeVon HaDme:r made a motion the City Marshall's waRes be
