opinion of the CouncLl they are spending too much time out side the
City limits. They were asked to confine their sercie within the
city limits of Ammon. Only in case of emergency should they
leave the confines of Ammon, and when it is necessary to answer an
emergency call from the Bonneville County Sheriff.s Office there
should be a written report of it.
