Called to Order 8:05 P.M.

Minutes of last regular ~nd one recessed meeting read and approved as read.
Greener Pastures- Attorney Gerald W Olsen represented the residents of this area.
Twiggs explained that Chubbuck will do all the City has to do for necessary
maintenance of this area. If residents will furnish the fire hydrants and parts,
the City will furnish the installation. City will not force a L I D in this area.
If Fe~dents should desire a L I D, City will pay for Engineering work only.
Sewer System could be furnished if City does install a City Sewer System. Access
to the City is proper. Fire Insurance rates may drop if and when fire hydrants
are installed. Olsen then presented a petition, which is attached herewith to
these minutes, asking Council to reexamine this annexation. Decision of Council
was for Attorney's to discuss this further. McDevitt stated that he will not make
a decision for the City, he will only present the City's views on this matter.
Magleby Plat- Coun~l all agreed to have Plat signed as it was approved several
months ago. It was explained to Magleby that by signing this Plat the City accepts
the Plat only, and not the streets, future water lines, nor is the city responsible
for the installation of the Fire Hydrants.
Country Acres- Marshall Bros portion. Pocatello Title Co. has the maps and they
are not completed at this time. Attorney's will discuss this further and recommend-
ations will be made later.
Complaint- Elwood Anderson stated ~hat on February 1st, between 9;00 A M and
2:00 P M his home was entered and about $3,000.00 worth of merchandise was stolen.
He called the Sheriff's Office, who in turn called Hensley. Hensley and Carl Cr~ft
of the Sheriff's Office both answered the call. He says he needs reports from
Hensley as they are necessary for him to collect Insurance. He wants more action.
He said there was a screen off a basement window and the window was open. Hensley
answered and stated that he and Carl Croft went immediately to Anderson's and
Carl Croft verified Hensley's Statement. They said all information w~s broadcast ~
immediately. Henry said he would look further into this matter. McDevitt stated
that the less information published about a matter like this, the more chance of
recovering the lost articles is possible.
Hensley's Health- Hensley stated that there have been remarks made in the City
about his health. He presented the Council with a Health keport on himself from
Dr. Buhler. The copy is attached herewith to these minutes.
Neider Addition- Roy Neider asked if the City would put in the water line on
West Chubbuck Road from Hawthorne Road west for a quarter of a mile. Buchanan
stated that they City is not responsible for such an installation at this time.
Thompson said to study the actual cost, look over the cost of the past 25 hooK-ups
and check this out good before a final decision will be made. Ballif is to check
the streets for the C~ty in this subdivision. Neider said he would need 39 hook-ups
and would pay She City for them and this would help offset most of the cost of
installing the main water line. The installation would make a complete circle
with the Country Acres Addition and would even the prassure in our main lines.
Water Samples- Hensley stated that we gat a bad water sample from Myrtle's Place.
He talked to Tueller and got no cooperation for correction of the situation.
After discussion the Council decided to the Building Inspector and Sanitary
Inspector both inspect the premises. Get a Clarification of the State Health Dept.'s
position on this matter. Twiggs will contact the State Health Dept. on this matter
and the Council all agreed to give Twiggs this permission as the problem is growing.

parties concerned and set up a meeting with them in Ballif's Office so City maps
and ~h~$$ will be available for study.
