The
following Chubbuck residents were present to ask questions
about the Chubbuck Fire Station Bond Election: Bart and Rodney
Parrish, Harold Thompson, John Valenty, Pete Anderson and Paul
Cramer.
Mayor Cotant asked if anyone had comments regarding the Chubbuck
Fire Station Bond Election.
Paul
Cramer, 575 Homestead suggested the City might have too much
equipment, if the County is the reason we have the extra
equipment, the County should be asked to pay for more of the
fire station.
Fire
Chief Campbell explained, to keep the fire rating lower, the
City needs to have the equipment we have now, whether we make
calls to the County or not. Bannock County is paying the City
approx. $50,000.00 for fire coverage. The City can ask the
County to raise the payment, 55 maximum every year.
Pete Anderson, 5000 Pleasant View spoke in favor of the Fire
Station Bond.
Rodney Parrish asked for a break down of where the $500,000.00
is going to be spent.
PWD
Smart gave an explanation of where the bond monies would be
spent. The $500,000.00 was estimated, by the time we added
architectural fees, items not see at this point, we wanted to
have an adequate amount in the bond.
Rodney Parrish said felt the $500,000.00 is more than is needed.
Mayor Cotant said there is a possibility, we will not have to spend
the full $500,000.00, if we don't, we will not sell the full
$500,000.00 in bonds.

CHUBBUCK FIRE STATION BOND ELECTION DISCUSSION - (Cont.)
Bart Parrish, 229 Parrish Ave. stated, he felt the building
bid is way over priced. Bart said he felt there is a more
money being asked for, than what is needed.
Fire Chief Campbell stated bids have been received, these are
the best bids presented. F C Campbell stated there are
State and Federal Regulations that have to be met.
Mr. Cramer asked, does the Fire Department want the tower and
burn pit in down town Chubbuck. F C Campbell said the closer
to the station the better.
Mayor Cotant said maybe the costs will not add up to the
$500,000.00, if not the City will not spend the full amount.
