Water Dept.- Henry asked for reconsideration of the decision of June 13, 1967 whereby
the Board set the policy of all future water lines being paid for by the Developer.
After discussion Henry made a motion to reconsider the vote on Buchanan's Motion of
Mar~h 12, 1968, n~mely, That due to past policies as of August, 1967 we cannot deviate
now and cannot accept Neider's proposal. This motion for reconsideration on the vote
was seconded by Thompson. Roll Call vote on question of reconsideration was, Hillman-
yes, Henry-yes, Buchanan-yes and Thompson-yes. The subject was then open to further
discussion. Letter of proposal from Nei4er then read in full by McDevitt. Henry
stated that we should de with him as we have with others and this should be considered
an extension of the main line. Thompson stated that this should benefit the City by
equalizing the water pressure and also for future development within the City. We have
many ~ead ends to the w~ter lines in the area and these need to be coupled together.
Hook-up fees would be as per existing Ordinance. We also need our own equipment so we
can make our own hook-ups and they could be made for a cost of $90.00. We should put
the line in now and share in the expense while the earth is opened and save future
expense on these hook-ups. We were hasty in making our decision on Neider's Proposal
at the last meeting. After more discussion the matter was tabled till the next
meeting. Council did all agree to get together and look over the situation in person
before taking action.
~!anhlng and Zoning Board- Copies of the Pocatello Ordinance will be made for the
Council to study. Clerk is to make these copies.
Fire Dept.-Don Cullison of the Phone Co explained the emergency reporting system.
Five phones would be installed. One at the Fire Station and four in selected firemen's
homes. All rings would be continuous until answered. The one answering would pull a
button that wou~d set off the Siren at the Fire Station. The alarm would be shut off
by pushing in a button on the phone in the fire station and the entire system would
be reinstated for another emergency. A horn would ring off the phone system at two
different locations. Cost would be $&0.05 per month plus installation, one time only,
cost of $&1.00. Whenever a phone would have to be moved fora one home to another the
cost would be $6.00. Proposed phone nmnber for this operation is 237-2222. Melb~and

Chubbuck Phone Station is put into operation. Council will make their decision
at a later date,
Bids for Truck for Street Dept- Opened and read by Mayor Twiggs. Decision was for
Hillman and Henry to work with Hensley and take the best bid. We need the truck now
so the matter of delivery of the truck is important. The old truck is to be put up
for bids and the Council will take the best offer. The new Truck is to be financed
through the Bank rather than through a Finance Company. The bids are in the possesion
of Hillman.

~er ~pt. can be obtained on a Lease-Purchase agreement as we have purchased other
