He further stated that upon the recommendation of Councilman Davenport, he would like to appoint Mr. James S.

Report on recommendation to re -zone Mayor Smith referred to the application for the re- zoning of the three (3) Blocks adjacent to the overpass at Tenth Avenue and reported that, upon the instructions from the Council, he had now had a confer- ence with the Urban Engineer of the State Highway Department and that the drawings of the State Highway Department showed the most of the block owned by Mr. Bushnell, who had applied for the zone change, would be taken by the State Highway in their rebuilding of the structure at this point. He further reported that the Urban Engineer had said that if the City could keep the area from being rezoned, it would probably be much cheaper for them, however, they saw no reason why the other two blocks would be any bother to them should they be rezoned. Councilman Heys entered the meeting at this time. Mayor Smith continued by stating that he had a letter from the Urban Engineer which read in part, "We recommend that the city retain the present zoning classification on the land referred to in your letter. Lie are of the opinion that this course of action will best serve the public interest. We appreciate your interest in controlling the development of areas adjacent to the highway which are very likely to be needed for highway improvement. Your alert action may very well save the public a considerable sum, not to mention e complications often associated with the removal of improvements from the land. If we can furnish maps d other information otherwise, let us know." Some discussion followed during which time the exact location of the property involved was reviewed a s well as the fact that, providing the property was not rezoned, Mr. Bushnell could still apply for a sign d, providing that the Board of Adjustment saw fit, a special permit could be granted for the placing of a ¢n there. Councilman Vassar stated that he thought Mr. Bushnell should be advised of the developments regard• ing his request and why it might be denied by the Council. In other discussion, there seamed to be no objections to the rezoning of the other two (2) blocks to Commercial; however, no action was taken at this time and Mayor Smith stated that he would instruct the Building Inspector to advise Mr. Bushnell that his request possibly would be rejected. Request for golf memberships for Military Personnel at reduced price Mayor Smith advised the Council that a Mr. Kiel Kunda, who was with the 18th detachemnt of miasle men stationed at Wilder but with seventy men living here in Caldwell, had discussed golf memberships with him and had told him that they now have quite a reduced compliment and that they wanted to buy, as they did last year, four memberships at the golf course out of their recreation fund which was quite limited. He sai that last year they had purchased four (4), sixty -five dollar memberships and that they had had about ten or twelve golfers who used the memberships; however, it was agreed that the four memberships would only be used once each day and they were passed around between about twelve (12) men. Mayor Smith further stated that Mr Kunda had explained that with a reduced compliment of personnel, their funds were a lot lower and he wonders if the city would consider giving them a ten or fifteen dollar discount per membership as military personnel After some discussion, it was moved by Councilman Davenport, seconded by Councilman Martin that tb city offer them the same arrangement as they had last year. A vote was taken and the motion unanimously carried. Mayor Smith then informed Councilman Keys of the resignation and appointment to the Recreation Board afterwhich it was moved by Councilman Martin, seconded by Councilman Vassar that the meeting adjourn subject to the motion for recess of the regular meeting held on February 3, 1964.
