They set up the permit fees accroding to an amount per square foot (con-
forms with the Uniform Building Code). On other construction for remodel-
ing, repairs, sheds, storage buildings, etc. the owner places a valuation,
and the cost of permit is based on this valuation. The Mayor recommends
that Ammon establish some uniform fees because it is unrealistic that
buildings could be built for some of the valuation figures. The dis-
cussion on National League of Cities Meeting was tabled until the Mayor
knows more information. There have been complaints about water pressure
in Petersen Park area and the Mayor asked if anyone could give a reason.
The Engineer stated there could be a circulation problem. There will be a
traffic meeting tomorrow morning (County Traffic Safety). The County will
be responsible for the signs on Ross Street. A representative of Inter-
mountain Gas Company and the Mayor conducted a survey of the heating in the
Well pumphouses. The gas company refuses to hook up the furnace at Well #1.
The other wells are using normal household thermostats to regulate the tem-
perature and the lowest setting is 55? A thermostat is available which can
be set at 35~ The gas company recommended we could obtain different ones
and set them at 40~ Dick Weimer has been contacted to get Well #1 legal
and to change the thermostats. When Dermont Ricks sent in his water pay-
ment, he commented that the water charge was too much and what about spray-
ing ditches. Marian Perrenoud noted that the City gets a lot of bad checks.
She wondered if the City couldn't charge people extra if they wrote an
insufficient funds check. The Attorney said no. Councilman Swensen said
let the bank assess the charge--just keep the check going back to the bank.
There is a problem with Brent Petersen parking a boat and trailer in the
street. The street is not posted for no parking but he leaves the boat &
trailer parked there indefini tely. The Mayor wi 11 inves tiga te mat can te chne.
AttorneY Anderson did a tremendous job on the Utah Power & Light rate in-
crease hearing. He has been left unpaid for his service. ~~yor Wehmann
asked Council approval to pay Attorney Anderson $1,000.00 out of the 1978
monies for his services on Utah Power case. The Council was agreeable and
felt that no approval was necessary since it had been budgeted. Unfinished
business--the~roof still needs to be fixed. Councilman Lee moved that the
meeting be adjourned and Councilman Anderson seconded it. Meeting adjourned
at 11 :15 P.M. _ /(1~;;'~yo;l/h,/Y i/..
