Idaho Power Co.- John Auger explained the Electric Service Agreement for Well No 3,
which they had with t~e Northside Water Corp. It stated a minimum guarenteed charge
per year. We are already paying more than the minimum charge per year. This Well is
on the same rate as the other 2 wells in the City. Before signing any agreement or
continuation of the same agreement Thompson is to check this out and a decision will
be made at the next meeting.
New Houses Outside City Limits- Jay Grayson and Eugene Pickens were prasent and stated
they are building houses facing Hawthorne Road, but the houses are outside the City
Limits and they would like City water as the Main Line runs right in front of their
property. After discussion, Grayson and Pickens both agreed to pay the ~ost of the
hook-up plus the cost of the meter. Council agreed to allow these two hook-ups.
Thonpson then asked if they would object to annexation to the City in the future and
they answered they would not object. In the future all hook-ups outside the City
Limits will be handled on an individual basis until such time as the Water Ordinance
is revised.
Neider Addition Water Line- Buchanan asked Brennan why he went ahead with installing
the water line in the Neider Addition without any authorization from the Council to
lay that line. The Council needs an understanding with Neider on this condition.
Brennan stated that he thought this was just an extension of existing streets and
water lines.Council then stated that the City should have inspection of all water
lines as they are laid in the City. Buchanan is to l~ok into this and check it out.
Ahy city water lines to be laid are to be inspected by Hensley. Neider project is to
be stopped before it has to be redone.
Beautification Program of State Hiway Dept.- Chubbuck Interchange. Hillman stated that
the State Hiwa~ Dept. wants an answer on whether Chubbuck will ~a~ltain this project
if the State puts it in. They would like an answer by the May meeting of the Council.
McDevitt explained that this needs a Court Decision on the responsibility of the cost
of maintaining State Hiway Projects of Beautification, as Boise is having the same
problem now, on deciding who is responsible, for a~l this cost.
