INSURANCE INQUIRY - Mike Jepsen, Insurance representative of Fred A.
Moreton and Company, was present to introduce the AIC Insurnace coverage.
Mr. Jepsen told council his purpose in attending the meeting is to
request permission to work on specifications for re-bidding of the
city insurance policy.
Councilman Nield remarked that inasmuch as the present insurance
carriers have suffered a great loss on a city claim this past year,
he felt it would be appropriate to allow the present policy to be
in force for a three year period prior to rebidding.
Councilman Kinghorn said he felt city should wait until Mayor and
full council are present to make the decision rather to rebid the
insurance this year or not.
President of Council Quick moved to take this item under consideration
when a full body of mayor and council are present. Councilman Nield
seconded motion. Vote was unanimous in favor of motion.
SPRING CLEAN-UP - Mayor Cotant has asked Mrs. Vola Eldredge to organize
the clean-up campaign this year. Mrs. Eldredge was present and re-
ported that she felt the city clean-up should be a year around project,
that without a lasting attitude of clean-up the success will be limited.
Mrs. Eldredge suggested a clean-up rally with flyers distributed and
city fire trucks with loud speakers tour the city announcing the clean-
up. Mrs. Eldredge told of plans for a four-phase project consisting
of: 1) Kick off with 15 day emphasis---with planned additional pick-
ups by city trucks at least a couple times during the year, 2) Courtesy
citations issued to residences that have not cleaned up, with a list
of contact groups that will do the clean up, 3) Recognition awards
to residents that have made special effort, to be awarded at Chubbuck
Days, 4) November through April would be be snow removal and encouraging
pride in city through newsletters.
