Councilman Swensen reported that the ditch cleaning will be completed and watering
schedules sent out this week. He mentioned a problem which is being encountered by
Lawrence Ricks in obtaining easement permission from owners of a new home being
built at the northwe,St corner of Eagle Drive and Salmon Street to get in behind the property
to clean out a ditch. It was noted that big equipment is needed for this cleaning-out job,
and a city sump pump blocks off part of the present easement. From his first meeting as
Ammon's representative on the Bonneville Council of Governments, Councilman Swensen
was happy to report that letters and telephone calls have gone out from the BCOG:' in
support of the Ammon sewer project which have had an influence on the peqple in Washing-
