Jennifer reminded the Council that on October 21st there will be a Fiber reception at the Public Works Facility.
Councilmember Powell Brian said he would like everyone to put this date on their schedules to attend. A lot of the legislators have
been invited, and few have accepted to be there. A lot of individuals from the City of Rexburg are interested in attending. The City
paid for the speaker who is big in helping set up Municipal Fiber throughout the United States. Jennifer said the reception will be from
4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Councilmember Christensen said at the last meeting he talked about a truck that was parked on John Adams. It was a big fuel
truck that was removed, but it has been back again, and gone again. He hopes that if it comes back again we can have an ordinance to
enforce the removal because he feels it is a public safety issue.
Councilmember Coletti reminded the Council to have newsletter articles ready by next Monday.
