Policy and Resolutions Committee has requested suggestions for changes or additions
to AIC's policy for the year 1993-94 prior to May 7, if possible. 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 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.

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.

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.
