EQUIPMENT BIDS 3
Engineer Smart said the Garbage Packer in service at the present time is
costing the city a lot of money for maintenance; over the past several
months they have had a considerable amount of problems with both trucks.
Engineer Smart said they had so many complaints on the rotary mower they
had used they had gone to a flail type; but this was not as effective as
it should be. With the new mower they would be able to mow and do trimming.
Mayor Cotant and the Councilmen told Engineer Smart to bid for a backhoe
loader, garbage packer and mower.
GREG ROMRIELL,4544 Yellowstone, presented a correction notice on his
building he is constructing, given him by Dan Stuart, Building Inspector.
1. Any exterior wall 5' or closer to property lines shall have no
exterior opening. South wall of building and basement. Table
5a Page 56 U.B.C. to close to property line.
2. Exterior corner bracing needs nailed 6" O.C. at edge.
Earl Romriell stepped down from council as he is personally involved in this
matter.
Greg Romriell said his plans had been approved in July, 1978. Engineer
Smart said on the Plot Plan the building showed well within the property
lines. ~
Earl Romriell said a new Plot Plan was not submitted - just the one presented
five years ago and the building inspector knew where the property line was.
Attorney Burnett said the Building Inspector Dan Stuart had provided
written notice as provided in the U.B.C. now a Board of Appeals could
hear the complaint. He said the Council could appoint a Board of Appeals
and their decision would be final. He said he would be reluctant to
appoint a board without a quoram; but the Mayor and Council could constitute
the board with the building inspector as an ex officio member with
a meeting held within a week. He said the builder could proceed at his own
risk as construction had not been red tagged. The Appeals Board could
serve ad hoc or at pleasure of Council; but should require action by
quoram of board.
Mayor Cotant suggested the Council act as Appleals Board.
Councilman Fullmer moved to appoint City Council and Building Inspector
to constitute the board~ if any Councilman feels they should be disqualified,
Mayor Cotant to serve as board member. Councilman Kinghorn seconded the
motion. All Councilmen ~oted in favor.
Dwight Romriell asked for an inspection on the remainder of building so
they could proceed with construction.
GENERAL DISCUSSIONS: 1. Sale of City property and the building of a new
City Office complex. 2. Bicentennial Park Grant Review. 3. Intermountain
Gas putting a gas line to Motel 6 across the new street on West Burnside.
