times missed. A report by Councilman Southwick indicated that residents are
generally pleased that action has been taken on the temporary resurfacing of
17th Street.
A report was made by Councilman Swensen on cost of 24-inch reinforced and
non-reinforced pipr for enclosing the irrigation ditch at the northeast corner of the
Ammon Junior High School property. No action was taken.
According to Councilman Swensen there is a Land Use Hearing at 8 P. M. on
August 13 at the Westbank in Idaho Falls. It was suggested that Engineer Benton
plan to be there and any of the Councilmen who can. Topics discussed at the
recent BCOG meeting were reviewed by Councilman Swensen. He noted that he
had placed before that committee Mayor Turnbow's request that the placement
of trailerhomes in the county be studied by the BCOG. Councilman Swensen
mentioned that there is a need to look ahead to the time when additional sanitary
landfill sites will be required and the City may have to participate in obtaining
land for this purpose. Approval was indicated for such a project with the pos-
sibility of selling gravel for several years from property acquired then using it
for a landfill.
Councilman Anderson reported that Laurence Denning's road grader is for sale,
and the feeling was expressed that extreme caution must be exercised in obtaining
any more used equipment.
With reference to the variance in the setback requirement requested by Wilford
McGavin at the last meeting, Mayor Turnbow noted that the agreement signed by
MCGavin's neighbor was not considered by the City Attorney to be of any value in
this matter so the request was denied. Consequently, Mr. McGavin changed his
plans so that the necessary setback requirement will be met and has been issued
a permit to proceed with the additon to his house and garage.
Mayor Turnbow mentioned that he has received a lot of complaints about the con-
dition of the streets within the City, but does not feel that any expense should be
put in them at this time except for patching. There is a special need to repair the cuts
in the paving on Ross Avenue north of Sunnyside Road, which the City crew should
take care of in the near future, along with re -shingling of the pumphouses at
#1 and #3 Wells.
Councilman Southwick moved that the meeting adjourn at 10:40 P. M.
were approved for payment.
