WAIVER OF PLATTING APPLICATION - C -K INVESTORS - The LDS Church under construction
at the corner of James and Stuart Ave. desires to purchase additional land
adjacent to the building on which to construct softball fields. The north
boundary of this second parcel appears to abut the proposed extention of Adams
Street as contemplated by the comprehensive plan.
The Portneuf District Library also desires, or has already, to purchase additional
land north of their property for potential future expansion.
Current road construction (Stuart Avenue extention) will put an improved
roadway across the library frontage. The church property is essentially
unimproved and should technically need none of the street services.
After discussion Councilman Quick moved to appove the waiver of platting to
C -K Investors with the recommendations of the Land Use Committee. Councilman
Nield second. All councilmembers voted in favor of the motion.

SAFETY OFFICER - RAY SANDUSKY - Officer Sandusky was present and discussed
with Mayor Cotant and Council problem areas of the City.
1) Officer Sandusky stated he is concerned with a safety hazzard at Parrish
Furniture. He said the wing sign in front of Parrish Furniture blocks
the traffic view from the north. After discussion it was decided that Attorney
Winmill would send a demand letter telling them to remove the sign and
if they did not move it the City would follow through with a law suit.
2) Officer Sandusky stated concern about the weeds and rocks at Heritage West
Subdivision. Attorney Winmill said the procedure on getting weeds cleaned
up is to give written notice, they have seven day to clean up or fix the
problem or file an appeal to the council. At the end of seven days Ray should
come to the council and get a resolution passed authorizing the Mayor to direct
people to have it taken care of and it is included in an assessment of their
taxes. Mayor Cotant stated we should make it easier for Officer Sandusky
to get the weed cleaned up.
3) Officer Sandusky stated concern about the shed owned by Charley Frasure
at Hiway Ave. and Yellowstone.
EQUIPMENT PURCHASES - Engineer Smart stated the City is in need of a bucket truck,
roadgrader and a 10 wheel dump truck. Engineer Smart said that he had been looking
at used ones. He stated he had found a bucket truck for $4,600.00, and it was
7 or 8 years old. Engineer Smart said he had found a used roadgrader for a
good price. Attorney Winmill stated he felt any items over $10,000.00 should
be bid.
After considerable discussion it was decided Attorney Winmill would look over
a lease agreement from Idaho First National Bank to see if it is legal to
puchase equipment over $10,000.00 without putting it out for bid.
