signs be put in some residential areas. He asked if they thought using reflectorized
signs would help and suggested that signs be put up informing drivers they were enter-
in? the City of Chubbuck and that speed limit is strictly enforced.
Water - Thompson explained that the council would like to average out meter rates for
one year to see how they compare with flat rates. He stated that we cannot change
ordinance right now. Perhaps by June or July if water bills are running too high we
might be able to discount bills to help get lawns in without too much expense.
Tahoe street residents asked if they could be put on flat rate. Leslie explained
that the growth in this area could bankrupt this city, this was the idea of meters in
the first place but he would ~avor flat rates for all until the largest percent of
the city was metered.
