According to Mayor Wehmann, City of Idaho Falls employees have inspected the
sewer lines in Barbara Jean Estates finding one defect which has already been
corrected, and notice was sent with the billing from the City of Idaho Falls that
the lines were so filled with debris that they had to be flushed 4 times. (It was
pointed out that the cost of this inspection is at the expense of the developer as will
be the case for the inspection in the Meadow Lark addition and all future developments.)
As a matter of interest, Robert Butler mentioned that he was on hand when the sewer
inspection was made and noticed that all of the debris was near manholes so had re-
sulted from the street work having been completed after the contractor had cleaned
the sewer lines.
Announcement was made by Mayor Wehmann that the problem with the 70 h. p. pump
at Well #6 was apparently a defect in the impellor as discovered by B- W Electric
personnel in the presence of representatives of H-K Contractors and the City of
Ammon, and the pump has been sent in for repairs which will likely be at the
expense of the manufacturer.
Regarding the sidewalk and curb-and-gutter work which is under way, Mayor
Wehmann indicated that there are some problems which are being wor~ed out,.
that he is in full agreement with the Engineer about who is responsible for costs,
and that he cannot see replacing the curb and gutter along the property owned py
Thayle Monson at 2090 Eagle Drive.

Mention was made that there have been complaints about parking on Circle S Drive,
so that street should be posted for I1No Parking" if it is less than 36 feet wide~
Councilwoman Dille reported that Reynold Chambers of 2863 E. 17.th St. has asked
that the City take action on getting the owner of the partially torn-down house
adjacent to his property to finish the job, and Mayor Wehmann agreed to write to the
Hatch Investment Company about this. Several items of information were reviewed
by Mayor Wehmann as follows: A letter was written to the County Commissioners about
a 4-way stop on Ammon Road at 17th Street, and a reply was received that their
intentions are to do this very shortly at that location as well as at Sunnyside and
Ammon Road. The sump pump on Eagle Drive failed recently, but is now repaired.
Utah Power and Light Company has prepared a contract for furnishing electricity for
storm sewer lift station pump at Sand Creek, but the records are being checked to
to see if the City agreed to accept this responsibility before the contract will be
signed. The company of C. Reinhart & Sons have been notified by letter of the
City's position concerning their failure to clean up the debris left on Samuel Street,
and a bill was included for the City having taken care of this.
Mayor Wehmann asked that the Council members plan to meet in an executive meeting
at 7 P. M. on October 6 just prior to the next regular meeting for the purpose of
interviewing an applicant for City Administrator.
Councilman Swensen suggested that all City officials plan to attend the AIC Annual
Academy on November 19-20 at Idaho State University in Pocatello and the AIC
District Meeting in Idaho Falls on November 9. He also mentioned that there will
be an accounting institute for City Clerks on October 15 in Idaho Falls.
Claims were approved for payment.
