Mayor Ard signed the "Notice of Acceptance and Participation in Bonneville County Emergency Operations Plan." Claims were approved. Regulations are requiring the City of Ammon to take some kind of action regarding the underground fuel storage tanks at Well No. 7 by December 31, 1993. Public Works Director Wadsworth is investigating options. Possibly the best route to take is to eliminate the tanks. Councilman Crandall moved to adjourn the meeting, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Maeser. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M. ATTEST M<~(!.

Roll call vote: Hall - Yes; Crandall - Yes; Maeser - Yes; Anderson - Yes. The motion carried unanimously. Councilman Crandall asked that the 3-H Cable Communications Consultants be contacted to see what service they offer to implement regulations to permit local governments to enforce basic cable regulations. When information is received. the Council will evaluate it to see if it has value for the residents of Ammon. Developers of the property on the southwest corner of the intersection of Ammon Road and East 17th Street have contacted the City to obtain permission to connect the drainage from their convenience store parking lot into the Ammon Road drainage system. The State has cautioned that perhaps the City should secure an agreement to make the property owner responsible if anything is drained into the system not in conformance with EPA rules. Council opinion was that EPA would track back to the contamination source. Also. no agreement has been made with other establishments using the storm drain system. However, Public Works Director Wadsworth was instructed to discuss the request with Attorney Anderson. If the Attorney does not foresee a problem, permission is to be granted. I Public Works Director Wadsworth asked Michael Nye of Utah Power if the power poles on Sunnyside Road by Hillcrest High School can be moved to allow some road widening. The problem was discussed. Michael Nye assured that Utah Power would cooperate. and Engineer Benton advised that he has been working with Nancy Pinnock of Utah Power to establish a permanent pole right-of-way from Hitt Road to the canal. If Utah Power does any landscape damage, they will repair it. Mayor Ard asked Engineer Benton about the Hitt Road and Sunnyside Road right-of- I way. Bill Manwi11 of Bonneville County is working with Benton to complete the necessary action. Work on Ammon Road project is progressing. Councilman Crandall asked what the City's position is regarding the road breakup on Midway caused by the heavy construction equipment. Representatives of the State Transportation Department advise that H-K Construction is responsible to help repair the damage. Dennis Austad has contacted the City Office and Councilman Maeser to encourage cleanup of East 17th Street. The entrance into City of Ammon does not make a good impression. Some of the problems stem from the Ammon Road construction project. Councilman Crandall suggested that consideration be given to purchase of a street washer for use to help the appearance of the streets throughout the City. Street maintenance was discussed. The budget provides money for some seal coating this year. The County maybe able to assist us with some seal coating, but they will not be available for scrub coating. Ammon has agreed to participate in the project to add four feet of asphalt on each side of Sunnyside Road from Yellowstone Avenue to the railroad tracks on the east side of Ammon. When widening is completed, the road will be seal coated. Bonneville County will do the work and the City of Ammon will contri1!>ute funds based on the portion of road within the City limits. The 1993 Idaho Legislature authorized the use of water system connection fees to assist in funding the state drinking water program. The Drinking Water Advisory Committee, made up of representatives from cities, counties, health districts, and state legislature and local water systems, assisted the Division of Environmental Quality in developing the structure of the connection fee package. Effective October 1, 1993, an annual fee assessment will be assigned to public drinking water systems. Based on the criteria and information in DEQ's records, Ammon's 1993-94 assessment due October 1, 1993. will be $5,836.00. The Council decided to extend an invitation to Melvin Richardson, State Senator for Legislative District 30, to come to Council Meeting to discuss this program. Reports: Public Works Director Wadsworth discussed Well No. 5 repairs. No action has been taken on the Well No. 5 generator. The parks have been sprayed for dandelions. Sand has been replaced in the pool filter, the pool has been drained, and it is ready for sanitizing. Part of the concrete has been poured for the merry-go-round in Falcon Park. I I I I 37 May 20, 1993 June 03, 1993 Fire Chief Ca1 Smith has prepared specifications for a new fire engine. Information has been collected from various sources to complete the specification package. Chief Smith would like Attorney Anderson to review the specs before the advertisement for bids is published. The Fire Department is experiencing some difficulties with Engine No.1, but plans are to take if off line for repairs as soon as feasible. In order to maintain our fire rating, the City will keep both of the old engines and add a new engine. Councilman Anderson reported on the Parks. He inquired about the status of a batting cage to eliminate use of the fences. Some of the coaches are supposed to be submitting figures to make a batting cage. Also, he inquired about the City's plans to clean the irrigation ditches in the old Ammon townsite. The City has been trying to gradually transfer the responsibility for ditch cleaning to the property owners, but the property owners insist it is the City's responsibility. Public Works Director Wadsworth has offered to provide some roundup solution for the owner to spray, but no further plans have been made. Kwin Kopp has volunteered to work with two school students to supervise ditch cleaning if the City will supply the funds. The ditch cleaning should not be the City of Ammon's jurisdiction, but apparently we need to do what we can to accommodate the residents. The Council authorized $300 for Kwin Kopp to use for ditch cleaning. City Clerk Jensen reported the BMPO Policy Board will meet on Wednesday, May 26, 1993, at 4:30 P.M. and the AIC Conference will be held in Sun Valley June 24, 25, and 26, 1993. So far, no one will represent Ammon at the Conference. Claims were approved. Councilman Crandall moved to Councilman Hall.
