Master Certifications, and asked Jason Clapp and Andy Peterson to come up and receive their Road Master Certificates and gifts of
jackets. The Council congratulated Jason and Andy for their achievement.
Jason Clapp thanked the Council for giving them the opportunity to go out and take these classes; if it wasn’t for the

Councilmember Christensen was reached out to by the Pearl Health Clinic and asked Charlie Allen to give the Council an
idea of what is going on over there. Charlie explained that the Pearl Health Clinic called Gay Leming with the Building Department
asking for a fire inspection; she told them their building has not been completely final and only has been issued a temporary certificate
of occupation with a couple of corrections left and would need a re-inspection. Charlie said in October they were issued a temporary
certificate of occupation and felt this was a good time to go over with the fire marshal to inspect the building. Charlie explained that
when Dr. Thana had Construction Solutions, the general contractor permit the building there was a middle area that wasn’t on the
plans to be approved. When he and the fire marshal went to inspect, they discovered that they have a kitchen that is not supposed to be
there, and told Dr. Thana that they cannot be cooking in here. There is a six burner commercial stove, and if you have the ability to
produce grease or smoke you have to have a hood to ventilate the smoke. Councilmember Slack asked if they have a hood for the
stove. Charlie said they have a little residential hood that you would see in a house. Charlie said he told Dr. Thana that he has
something in there the Building Department never approved and said to disconnect the stove or they wouldn’t be able to open. When
Charlie and Keith Banda went back to inspect, the stove was hooked up again and told them again to disconnect. Scott Hall said
Charlie could shut down the business now, and said the thing that bothers him is that he was told to disconnect it and without authority
he hooked it up again and put people at risk. Discussion ensued.
Councilmember Powell reported that Councilmember Kirkham is meeting with City of Idaho Falls Mayor Elect Rebecca
Casper regarding broadband fiber, and will get in touch with Ken Harwood tomorrow.
Councilmember Coletti said there was a water line break at the Stake Center on 17th Street; he saw three fire engines, two
were from the City of Idaho Falls and one was from the Bonneville Fire District, and wondered why wasn’t the City of Ammon Fire
Department dispatched. Councilmember Coletti informed Fire Chief Stacy Hyde about the issue.
Councilmember Christensen moved to adjourn. Councilmember Slack seconded. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Christensen
– Yes, Councilmember Slack – Yes, Councilmember Thompson – Yes, Councilmember Powell – Yes, and Councilmember Coletti –
Yes. The motion passed.
The meeting adjourned at 8:48 p.m.
