COUNC]~ MEETING MINUTES
SEPT~BER 17, 1974
Minutes of recessed September 12 meeting held in the City Municipal Building
September 17, 1974.
Present: Mayer John O. Cotant, Jr., Councilmen Jack J. Menard, Dwain A. Kinghorn,
Earl Romriell and Wayne Taylor. Engineer Doug Jensen.
SEWER PROJECT: Mr. Jensen reviewed the cost breakdown of the entire sewer project.
It appears at the present time we are some $36,000 over the projected cost and bid.
The need to change project course of construction from easements to construction
on West Chubbuck Road and Rio Vista Street have resulted in approximately
$97,000 additional cost. Over the course of the project we have been able to
make various savings resulting at the present in approximately $36,000 over the
bid. In projected cost is the amount of $70,000 for interim financing. This
could be estimated too high, however, it would appear that some of this sum could
be used to defray the overage resulting-'from construction on Rio Vista and West
Chubbuck Roads. At the present, the project is liable for ~terim financing to
the time the project is given to the city and placed in operation. From that
point in time the revenue generated from the system is liable for interest as a
result of interim financing.
Street repiacement was thoroughly discussed and how to pay Bannock Paving the
sum of $19,192.97 for street paving and to pay Oregon Construction $21,977.12,
an amount Oregon Construction owes local sub-contractors. It was unanimously
decided to borrow $~1,170.O9 from sewer revenue to pay these bills. This money
will be returned~to the revenue account at time the city receives the final
project payment from HUD.
It was moved by Councilman Menard that we borrow from sewer revenue the amount
of $41,170.09 to pay outstanding statements, namely $t9,192.07 to Bannock Paving
and $21,977.12 to Oregon Construction to enable that firm to pay subcontractors.
Mr. Jensen has checks from Oregon Construction in the above amount and will
personally disburse these to the sub-contractors concerned.
FIRE STATION ADDITION - The fire station addition discussed and decided to authorize
the engineer to stake the property and generslly prepare the land for construction.
We w~ll build on the north side of the present building from building front line
to the back property line. No building to be constructed at this time to the rear
of the present property. This land is to be prepared for parking of tenants at
apartment above fire station.
SEW~ PUMP STATIONS - The pump stations in sewer line were discussed and decided to
partially curb the street at the pump station location on Valenty Road. The
pump disability alarm is to be connected into the city building by the telephone
C om p a~y.
WATER STORAGE TANK - Water storage tank was discussed with council in accord that
the tank offered by Dr. Dean Call would be an acceptable solution to our problem.
It was generally agreed that the citizens of the city would approve approximately
a $75,000.00 bond. This would cover the tank installation and the 16" ~line to
be istalled from the storage tar~k to the intersection of Whitaker and Chubbuck
Roads.
VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT - Volunteer fire crew was reviewed with the Mayor stating
the Chief Jones suggests we have two groups or battalions. This would give the
city a back-up crew at all times. Also reviewed agreement with Bannock County
and decided that we should ask for an increase in county participation from the
present $5,000 to $15~000. And too, that the mayor be authorized to contact
the Power County Commissioners as to Power County participating to the extent
0F~ $5,000 for service the City of Chubbuck Fire Department provides for Power.
County. ~
