FIRE]PROTECTION - John Spanbauer told the mayor and council he had met
with the Power County Commissioners, that they will take the request
for fire protection under consideration. There seems to be a question
of being able to bargain collectively or individually for this
protection.
Councilman Fullmer explained that insurance liability research found
some areas to be of no problem or concern, but other areas of liability
leaves the city in a very difficult situation.
The fire protection matter will require further study before any contract
C~n be entered into.
Councilman Romriell asked if Chubbuck could afford to cover fires in
Power County if the city does not contract fire protection service to
Bannock County. This question was discussed and decided the city should
make a study of the Power County costs on fire calls.
Mayor Cotant said the city needs to review the current contract with
Power County.
Attorney Burnett advised city if there is no contract with Eastern Power
County Fire District, the Power County Commissioners and Eastern Power
County Fire District should be informed that the city cannot provide
further fire protection.
Councilman Kinghorn and Councilman Fullmer both noted that it should be
made known to the fire department personnel that the department should
not use the Bannock County fire truck for any reason.
AMTRAK SUPPORT - Emilio Esquibel and Don Grace were present representing the
United Transportation Union. Mr. Esquibel and Mr. Grace presented some
figures on the operation of Amtrak and asked for city support in asking
for continued service of the Amtrak transportation throughout this area.
Mr. Grace asked the mayor and council to write their U.S. Senators and
U. S. Representatives stating their interest in supporting continuation
of Amtrak.
Councilman Romreill moved that Attorney Burnett draw up a resolution
in favor of continuation of the Pioneer Amtrak system. Councilman
Quick seconded motion with an unanimous vote in favor.

NORTHSIDE PLAZA - Glen Marshall, told mayor and council that the Idaho
Department of Transportation does not favor frontage roads. Mr. Marshall
has submitted an industrial plat that is designed with frontage road
al6ng Yellowstone Highway. Mr. Marshall left a copy of the letter he has
received from the Idaho Department of Transportation. Mr. Marshall told
the mayor and council that it will be necessary to redraw his plans. The
Idaho Department of Transportation recommends approaches line up with
present approaches if any approaches are now constructed or at 660 ft.
intervals where no approaches are constructed.

NORTHSIDE PLAZA cont'd - Mayor Cotant suggested to Hr. Marshall that the 31
7 foot necessary for future widening of Yellowstone Highway be deeded to
city when development planned. Mayor Cotant further said that the
Federal Highway Act requires that the city offer a reasonable price,
but that Mr. Marshall could then deed the 7 foot setback to the city for
$1 .oo.
Mr. Marshall noted that with this request for no frontage road along
Yellowstone Highway, he would request the city to review the plan
before he takes it back to the drawing board. Mr. Marshall suggested
the designing of a wider driving surfaced street, possibly 44 foot instead
of the usual 32 foot, rather than the construction of sidewalks.
Mayor and council did not voice any firm feeling regarding the wider
designed street instead of sidewalks.
BOYS SOFTBALL LEAGUE - Councilman Quick told council that Kermit Morrison has
asked to be relieved of the baseball commissioner assignment for the 1979
season as his little girl has a medical problem and he feels he will not
have the time required for the job. Mr. Morrison has recommended Keith
Farnsworth to be the baseball commissioner.
