HAWTHORNE WATER LINE - Mike Krugly, with Price Development, told the Mayor
and Council they plan to start construction on the Pine Ridge Mall in
the spring of this year with plans of opening the mall in the spring of
1980. Mr. Krugly asked about the possibility of a revenue or local
improvement bond to construct water line to their development.
Mayor Cotant said he questioned if the city would be able to pass any
bond issues with the 1% initiative, but the city will have the resource
to get water to their development one way or another.
Attorney LaMont Jones said they are pleased to be able to contact the
interim lenders and advise them that water will be available.
Attorney Burnett said that if construction is done by bond contract,
Price Development will be standing a good share of the total cost and
whether construction is done by contract in sections, or according to
a city improvement plan a large portion of the benefit derived will be
by Price Development. Attorney Burnett added that construction might
be done by a series of contracts, with property owners sharing costs.
Engineer Steven Smart presented the cost estimates and area of a proposed
Local Improvement District.
Attorney Burnett said the benefit of being able to ~inance with a Local
Improvement District is the distribution of cost.
Mayor Cotant asked if the city couldn't plan for the water to run through
the Knudson property which lies just south of the ~nterstate. Alternate
routes were discussed, with further study planned by the city.
Attorney Burnett said one way to solve the requirement problem of the
60% approval of resident property owners would be for the owners to
request the city to invoke the L.I.D.
Mayor Cotant said he didn't think a Local Improvement District could
be passed and added he felt there were two alternatives to providing
water to the Price Development project; 1) by the city laying the
line south on Hawthorne to the Zundel property and then through the
Zundel property to the Price Development property 2) to drill a well
in the area of the Price Development project, with Price Development
deeding the necessary amount of property for the well.
Mr. Krugly told mayor and council they would not Want t61p~ticipate
other than through a bond. He further said that they will naturally
loop the line within their facilities, will finance all on-site work
of the water lines, but through a bond effort could participate in
the whole of construction.
Mayo~ and council felt they should contact property owners concerning their
interest of a Local Improvement District or just participating in construction.
VALENTY ROAD WATER LINE AND STREET CONSTRUCTION - Engineer Steven Smart
presented a proposal for construction of a street named Valenty Road
and extending from East Burnside north to East Linden. Proposed Valenty
Road would line up in a north and south direction with the Valenty Road
presently running north off East Chubbuck Road. The Mayor suggested
researching more information on exact~location of street, cost of
development and interest of property owners.
Mrs. Ray Ankrum and son Brent were present and expressed concern of
project and also said they were favorabl~y interested.
GOVERNOR'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE GRANT PROGRAM for the City df
Chubbuck for a Sewer and Water Extension Study - The City will receive
a $5,000 grant for this study and has contracted with Hamilton and
Voeller, Inc. to do the study.
Tim Shurtliff, Engineer with Hamilton & Voelle~presented the results
of the study, explained proposed projections for the water and sewer
system.
Mayor Cotant told Mr. Shurtliff the report was very interesting and
informative and the council will study and review more thoroughly.
PROPOSED NEW CITY BUILDING - Harold Powell, Architect with Hamilton &
Voeller, Inc. talked to mayor and council concerning his capabilities
in helping architect a building for the city that would be useful to
the full city. Mr. Powell said it would be necessary to determine
what is going to be economical, what is going to be useful to the city,
most times people are unaware of potential of citizenry use. Mr. Powell
told council if he could be of any help to tie together a comple~ that
. ~ he would be happy to do so.
REQUEST TO HOOK ONTO CHUBBUCK SEWER SYSTEM - Justin Lowder, West Chubbuck
Road, presented a plan for a sewer tap into the main Chubbuck sewer
system, with some proposed residential housing and a shop.
Mayor Cotant told Mr. Lowder that his property lies in a proposed
light industrial zone within the city impact area and he will likely
not be able to develop residentially. He further told Mr. Lowder
the city has agreed with the City of Pocatello not to allow any new
construction on the sewer outside of city limits without the approval
of Pocatello city.
Attorney Burnett told mayor and council if city approved a sewer line
tap into the main line thay may be hard put to refuse the sewer services
to extend.
Councilman Romriell voiced opinion that if he develops industrially~
the city should allow the hook-up, however, for residential use we
should not allow the sewer service.
Mayor Cotant told Mr. Lowder the council would like to table this
request so city can contact Pocatello and further consider the request.
WATER TANK PROJECT - Scott Rhead, Forsgren, Perkins & Associates informed
council the construction of the water tank project has not been closed
and he has two points he would like to bring out to the city.
1) There was the problem of leaking which has been repaired and
has passed the leak test and that he sees no problem starting warranty
on tank at time of'leak test last July 19, 1978.
2) Mr. Rhead Said that there was approximately $1700 left to be
paid to F. H. Kahley on the contract, and he would like to see it used
to repaint the water tank.
11
WATER TANK PROJECT cont'd - Mr. Rhead said that the Thoroseal representatives13
have checked the painting of the tank with their product and are not satisfied
with the job. The sealing is not adequate and the color is not good
because of uneven coverage. Thoroseal was approved and used as the painting
product on the tank, however, Kahley did not put enough pounds of coverage
per square yard to meet Thoroseals recommended specification. Mr. Rhead
said it is difficult to equate the thoroseal requirements with the vinyl
acrylic specifications.
Mayor Cotant asked Mr. Rhead what they proposed. Mr. Rhead told council there
is $1700~00 left on the Kahley contract. There is a material called Thorocoat
and he felt a coat of Thorocoat would improve the painting job and make the
tank all one color.
Attorney Burnett asked if the painting job was such that an outside engineer
or inspector would approve the job. Mr. Rhead said he did not know.
Attorney Burnett suggested city contact F. W. Kahley Company telling
him the city has a problem of the painting job meeting specifications on
the water storage tank. Also, letter should state that if no answer is
received by a certain date, city will proceed with having tank repainted.
Council agreed to proceed thus, and Mr. Rhead will take care of the
correspondence.
Mr. Rhead said he had researched the cost which would be approximately
$1,85o.0o.

through February 9th.
Mayor and council discussed approving for Dan Stuart to attend the 20th

the Intermountain Chapter dues of $25.00. Councilman Fullmer seconded
motion with all councilmen voting in favor.
COMPUTER BIDS - Mayor and council discussed advantages of buying a computer
but did not approve to proceed with bidding.
SAINT ANTHONY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL - George Shiozawa asked i'f city would support
the application to develop a new hospital by the Intermountain Health
Care. Mayor Cotant said he planned to attend the hearing this Thursday
and would represent the city in support of this application as most
councilmen did voice their support.
