Bannock County Planning Commission- Edwin DeKay was oressnt and asked whD is going
to help Chubbuck with their application for Sewer PrOject Grant, Eanncok County
Planning & Zoning Commission or Bannock County Development Council? During the
discussion following this question, the following matters were brought out.
Pocatello of the Bannock County Development Council must have Chubbuck in with them
before they can get their secondary treatment plant. Chubbuck Council are all o~ the
opinion that we should go with Bannock County Planning Co~mission. We need a
comprehensive plan by the county including land use maps. DeKay suggested that we
see if Joel Abderson of Pocatello ~*ill work with us. FHA funds are available now.
We could work through I S U and get a lot of the prelimina~ work done now at a
minimum cost. The date on the application is very important as it determines how
soon we could get a Grant.
Curfew Ordinance # 31 - It was suggested that this Ordinance is outdated and we need
to adopt a new Ordinance more in line with Pocatello. Ordinance # 31 was read in full
by Thompson. After discussion it was decided to check with Attorney on the legality

Focatello's hours. M~tter was tabled for the tLme being.

as Fire Chief at the last meeting. He tried to explain the work of the Dept. of the

as a service to the Community and not as a service to an inc!ividual. Buchanan stated

understand them. C~nrms~ansen then stated that minutes of meeti~gs were not kept due
to friction within the Deut. Council discussed this further but no decision was made,
and Hensley is still Fire ~Chief as far as the 'Council is concerned.
