a recycling proposal. Mr. Baker stated the proposal is close to what the City of Pocatello
is using.
Mr. Baker proposed the City establish a community recycling drop -off center using a 30
cubic yard roll -off box. The roll -off box is divided into compartments with hinged doors
on each compartment. The roll -off box would be placed at a convenient location where
the public would drop -off their recyclable material. Fibre International proposed to use
it's own equipment to transport the roll -off container to it's recycling facility, and to
process the material for market, then return the box to the collection site. Fibre
International proposes to charge the city for this service.

REPORT ON WEST CHUBBUCK ROAD PROJECT - Rodney Birch, Rocky Mountain
Engineering was present to give a report and cost estimates on two options on the canal
crossing location on the W. Chubbuck Rd. Project. The first option includes the box
culvert and the second option is the retaining wall option. Mr. Birch stated leaving the
grade as is, is not a good option.
Mr. Birch stated there is a concern about width of pipe at the grade at the bridge. Mr.
Birch said to achieve a design speed across the area, we either need to look at lowering
the hump over the pipe or property owners will be impacted. PWD Smart said he asked
Mr. Birch to present a comparison cost. There was considerable discussion on this.
PWD Smart recommended the culvert be replaced with a concrete culvert.
Council was in agreement Mr. Birch should move ahead with the bidding process for
replacement of the culvert at once.
PWD Smart suggested curb and gutter be installed to the right -of -way, then get
permission from the property owners to place sidewalk on property owners property.
Council was in agreement Mayor Cotant and Council will meet with West Chubbuck
Road residents one on one.
Mayor Cotant suggested a Study Session Special Meeting be held January 0, 2000, at
5:00 p.m., to discuss the West Chubbuck Road Project.
