w~tension of ~ater Line - Eli Taysom, Contractor, asked if he co~2d get Village
~ater to a sub-division he woul~ like to develop. Property is outside the Village
Lin~ts, north of Church Canal and west side of Hawthorne Road. He requested that
the Village put in approximately dO0 feet of 6 inch Cast Iron pipe, at ~illage
expense. He was advised by Village Board t~at the Sub-divider puts in the water
line, at his own expense, ~ not at the expense of the Village.
Idaho Power Co. P~ate Changes- ~%lt Sargent of Idaho Power Co. was present and
presented the Board with the good news that the Village will receive a reduction
in rates on the City Wells. It will amount to an approximate 20.7% reduction. He
also informed tha Board that there is a reduction in rates for Street Lights,
which will be affective as of October 1, 1964. After a discussion, the Board
decided to make a survey now and see where additional Street Lights are most
needed, and if possible they will be included in the Budget for 1965.
Slag for Private Driveways - Wes Maupin of 241 ~.~. Linden was present and asked
if the Village would put 2 loads of Slag on his driveway and he would pay for
it, but asked to make payments of $5.00 per month, instead of paying the total
bill at one time, as he is on a pension and it would cause a hardship if the
entire amount had to be paid at once. Total cost of the Slag would be $15.00.
Board all agreed that they would accept his offer of payments~ and would authorize
the Slag to be hauled and placea for them. (Cost of Slag is $7.50 per load delivered.)
Maupin also asked to have the Sanitation charge removed from his water bill as he
hauls his own and has no use for the service. Board all agreed and advised him that
this request was denied, as they cannot make exceptions to the Ordinance for some
and not for others, as this would defeat the purpose of the Ordinance.
Police Car - Board all agreed that this car is not preforming properly, and
Dee Bogert of Intermountain Chevrolet has been advised of their findings, and has
agreed to consult wit~ them on this matter tomorrow.(October 14, 1964)

reported that he had bought one at mn Auction Sale for $17.50 and that the retail
price would have been approximately $39.00. Motion to pay Hensley ~17.50 for the
extinguisher made by Underwood, seconded by Hillman. All in favor. This extino~isher
is to be installed at the Storage B~silding at 114 Hiway Ave. After a discussion
the Board decided to purchase 4 15 pounders to carry- on the Fire Truck and one
5 pounder to carry in the Dump Truck. Motion to authorize Hensley to order the
other 5 extingusihers made by Hillma, seconded by Christensen. All in favor.

reserving of the property adjoining both the East and West sides of the Union Pacific

7forsencroft explained the pure, ese of the meetin~ and stated t:-:at most of the Complaints
received by Vi]~!aze Board memf~ers ~re that we lack cooperation ar.d direction for
i~ndividuals~ and our most important neeci is for a serie~ of Bui]_ding Codes to conform
v~th o~m surro~ding area~ suc~-' as ?ocate]..!o and the Co~:ty. ~fe need background infcrznation
for Uniform B~lding Codes. ')re need the hel? of the residents and their committees to
study these codes and !~e!p draft Code Ordinanc,s for our particle, ar need and still
conform to Codes ir~nediately arounc us.
Joel Anderson- ~ocatello Zoning Co~isssion~ expressed his approval o~ the Board~s
desfi_re to start this project. He su~zested that we consider the National Code for Fire
Under~iters~ as that is a Uniform Code used al! across the United ~3tates~ and
that we consider the short form instead of the lon~ form of the Uniform Building Cod~ of the
International Conference of ~ldin~ Officials. ?~fe sho~d check with Focatello and maybe
we could use their Buf.!ding ins~ector 'mill s~ich time as the Village would be large
enough to hire their own Inspector.
John Korbis- ~ S U and Bannock Comnt~.~ Pian~in~ Board~ sug~ested that we wait for the
Co~ty to adopt their Zoni~ Code before we ~o to far '~dth our ~l~s and that 'way a.void
any conflicts in the Ordin,~nces. ?~fe need a Fl~ning and Zo~n,5 ~oard for the protection
of pro?er%~y and thus develop in an orderly fashion ~d help our future progress.
Kent Yarrish- Ail residents are interested in progress and we do need something
standard so we know how to develop in the future.
l~cDevitt- ex~/ained that we have 2 problems. First- ?u:~ldin~g codes to cover construction~
materials~ pl~nbing~ e!ectricity~ gas, etc. Second- Zoning which would define use or
p~Do~ of property for safety~ health ~d r~'o?.ert~ value.
