First Meeting at 7:00 P.M. called to order.
Purpose was to discuss unfinished business of previous meetinge.
Wildcat Waterline off of Briscoe Lane going to houses at 5411, 5~13, 5~15 ~ud
5~19 Yellowstone Ave. Total estimated cost of straightening out this line was
$1,~9.11. McDevitt explained that the Village cannot legally spend Village money
for this purpose, and the cost would have to be the responsibility of the residents
involved. Board all agreed that they sho~uld set a shut-off date and then enforce it.
Clerk is to send a letter of notice that the line will be shut off on July 1, 196&,
and suggest to the residents and owners that they fix up their pump. Before the
Village could even consider letting them fix their own line, the Village would have
to see in writing the particular easements and Title Insurance Policies involved in
this matter. A copy of the letter to all concerned will be on file in the Village
Office, and one copy is attached herewith to these minutes.
Questions about different problems in the Village. Worsencroft explained to all
employees, that whenever they are questioned about certain problems, they should
refer the individual asking the question to the member of the Board who is the
head of that particular department.
Office Equipment- Board all agreed that the Clerk should have a machine for
duplicating letters, documents, or any other papers for Village purposes.
Gasoline, Oil, and Fuel Oil for Village use. Board all agreed that we should
invite bids for this from all service stations in the Village. The bids should run
for 1 year, and also indicate the hours the service would be available. Clerk is
to send letter of this information to all Service Stations in the Village.
Trailer for Hauling the Tractor. Worsencroft explained that the trailer now
owned by the Village is not satisfactory for this purpose. Board all agreed that
we should try to sell this one and buy another more suitable to our needs. A price
of $150.00 is to be asked for the present trailer. An ad in the Newspaper to try to
sell this one will be taken care of by Worsencroft.
Sanitation- Letter from Parks & Sons pertaining to Parrish Drive was read in full
by Worsencroft. The letter stated that Parks does not have a contract with Parrish
for garbage collection on the street and also that he has picked up on that street
every week since the first of April. He has had 18 pick-ups each week, except for
one week when there were only 16 who had their cans out for pick-up. Board all
agreed that this is not a commercial account, it is all residences except for the
store, and they are to be charged for all residences according to the Ordinance.
Delinquent Water Accounts- Brower, who is in charge of the water shut-offs
requested that the Clerk ask the Board just when the water should be shut off or
how much time should be giwen before water is shut off. All Board agreed that the
account is delinquent the second month it is not paid and should then be shut-off.
Regular Meeting was then called to order at 8:00 P.M.
Minutes of the last regular and one recessed meeting then read and approved .
Burley Drive Repairs- So far the residents will not do anything to help themselves.
Polinsky was present and stated that he would need another 50 days to contact all
residents and owners concerned and any decision on this matter will be made after
a report from Polinsky is completed.
Waterline Outside Village Limits- Franklin Briscoe asked about running a line
through a field for approximately 600 feet to take water to house that would be
located on Hiline Road. The line would~icome off the Village ~in Line on Whitaker
Road. The Board all agreed that this could not be done. Ward explained the Village
position on this, and McDevitt explained the Legality of such a proposal.
Hayfield Airport- Robert Corrigan asked if the Village could extend the water line
to Hayfield Airport. He explained that the Well there is not too good and that at
certain times of the year they have no water at all, and would like to have Village
water. The distance to the Village Main line is about 7/10 of a mile, and the
approximate cost would be around $20,000.00. It was explained to th~ residents
present that the developer would have to put in the line and not the Village.
The line would have to run through property not belonging to any of the parties
concerned and the Village could not even approve any such line as they would have
67
no way to maintain it. This is the developer's problem, and not a responsibility
of the Village.
Equipment for Village- McDonough of Southern Idaho Equipment Co. was present
and presented the Board with some cost figures on a Backhoe that could be
attached to our present Tractor. The cost was $3,753.&1 for a backhoe with a
2& inch bucket. Cost for an 18 inch bucket would be approximately $20.00 less.
Board all agreed that we could do nothing this year, but that we would consider it
for next year's budget. McDevitt explained that the only legal way we could obtain
this would be by a Lease-Purchase Agreement and make monthly payments on it.
Meetings pertaining to Municipal Projects- Worsencroft will try to attend a
Meeting of the Small Business Administration and the Idaho Department of Commerce
and Development on the subject of Community Economic Development to be held in the
chambers of the House of Representatives, State House, Boise, Idaho on Friday,
June 26, 196&. Ward will try to attend the Idaho Municipal League meeting in
McCall, Idaho on June 18, 19 and 20, 1964. He will attend the Public Works
Section of this meeting.
Dogs- Worsencroft explained that dogs have been killing chickens on Stuart Ave.
Dr. Hayden is preparing to build a new Building with a creamatory to dispose of
small animals and is wondering just how much business he can expect from the
Village. After a discussion Underwood stated that if we are to enforce the
Dog Ordinance we will have to make a house to house check and see how many dogs
in the Village are not license~. Then the stray dogs can be picked up and taken
to Dr. Hayden for disposal, as provided for in the Ordinance. Board all agreed.
Water at Fairgrounds- Worsencroft s~a~e4.. '~h~t the Village will have to read
the meter there and bill the county for water used. It is his understanding that
the County hooked on to Pocatello Water recentley. This will have to be discussed
with the County Commissioners and see if they are going to discontinue use of
Chubbuck water.
Playground Equipment for Park- Letter from Dale Kruse pertaining to Village
Responsibility in case of an injury to a child pla~ng there was read in full
and is on file in Village Office with the Blanket Liability Policy. We do not
have medical payments on the Policy, but the Insurance Co. would represent the
Village in case of a law suit, if such an action would be necessary.
Gravel Stockpile- Worsencroft explained that we should have a stockpile of
gravel for emergency use. The way we are getting it now is quite expensive. Board
all agreed that Christensen and Worsencroft would check into this matter, and see
if we can get some gravel at a reasonable price. Hensley will make some contacts
too pertaining to this matter.
Briscoe Lane Repairs- These repairs are costing more than had been anticipated.

redone next year.
