In answer to the question by the Statesman reporter, Mayor Carpenter said that the hiring of a ter -maid had been discussed in sessions with the salary committee and the finance committee. The hiring of new personnel in accordance with the new peace officers standards were discussed and that these would not be in effect prior to July 1, 1970. Chief Astleford told the Council that he thought the main thing was to have a determination on the salary schedule proposed which he presented as follows: starting salary for patrolman, $180.00 monthly and after one year of service, $504.00 monthly, and, after two years of service, $530.00 monthly. A 8eargant mould be paid $560.00 monthly; a Lieutenant, $590.00 monthly; a Captain, $610.00 monthly; and the Chief of Police, $720.00 monthly. Chief Astleford told the Council that they have a problem manpower wise; that he could cover every shift if he had a full staff but when anyone was off to training school, was on vacation or sick, he had to short a shift and this was also true when one of the officers left employment with the depart went; however, if Officer Davis was left in the parking meter department and providing salaries could be paid and personnel hired on the basis of the previous discussion, he could manage within the amount of the propose After some further discussion, Mayor Carpenter said that it was the intent to present the Rasolutio salaries for all City employees at the meeting on March 23rd and it was suggested that the proposed salary edule for police employees as set forth by Chief Astleford could 'no presented for the consideration of the ncil along with and as a part of that Resolution. 'there were no objections from the Council and it was sod that the salary schedule for policemen should be presented in this manner. the reporter for the Statesman then referred to what she said was a previous statement of the Mayor he was going to announce a change in the Police Department and inquired about this in relation to salaries now. Mayor Carpenter said there was still some determination to be made; that he and the Chief of Police were in the process of studying it out but the organization wouldn't effect the salary structure and he had nothing further to report at this time. It was then moved by Councilman Martin, seconded by Councilman *Cluskey, that this special meeting adjourn. A vote was taken and the motion carried, The meeting adjourned at 4:10 P.

L/ / (/ Upon Roll Call, the following Councilmen answered present: Charles C. Banks, Alfred H. M auskey, amen W. „ Bill „ Keys, V. Jay PArtin, C. A. -Chet" Davenport, and James R. Dakan. nnual Appropriation Bill Mayor Carpenter stated the business for this meeting and presented for consideration of the Counci: he Annual Appropriation Bill for hearing. Lieutenant Don Machos, representing the Fire Department, was recognized and he told the Council th, e was present to protest the budget but that first he would like the Mayor and Council to realize that they the firemen) realised that due to H.B. 304 and other things, the proposed budget had been real difficult th ear and also realized that nothing else could be done; that he thought most of the men were gratified in the act that they had gotten everything that was possible but the point here was that they didn't feel they had Dtten everything that was needed. He told the Council that they're purpose here was to go on record as pro. Rating the budget for the simple reason that they thought that in the years to come the information brought it might help. Mr. Machos then reviewed what they had received - a 5J% increase in pay with some fringe benefits ich as call back time and holiday time as well as the addition of two men to the personnel of the departmeni L said the increase in salary did not even cover the cost in living increase over the past year and was onll ival to $1.65 in hourly wage and that, if paid by the hoar, would be under the minimum wage law. He saf.d is call back time and holiday time was not a bonus but they looked at it as being something they had been '.thout over the years; that call back time was really overtime and over the years they hadn't had compenaa- .on for holiday time. Mr. Machos said their two major problems on the department were salaries and hours worked per week. .th reference to salaries, they had gone over these with some of the Council and they were familiar with lose paid over the State; that here in Caldwell, the men had been contented until the deal came up with iother department of the City where there were some changes made and, because of this, there had been some lk in the Fire Department of doing the same as there was now a $60.00 differential in starting wage between a Fire Department and the Police Department. He said they had held a meeting and the facts had been esented on what the Police Department had to do to get this and the Fire Department had voted to just leave ings as they were and go along with the budget this year; that the Police had to give up some of their nefits Bach as added personnel for a while and some of their fringe benefits and the Fire Department had be long time in getting the two additional man -17 years since any personnel had been added to the Department - d they knew they were hard to come by; that the second reason was the reduction from 72 hours per week and By were so far behind now that there was no way of making the JUMP all at once in salary and hours worked r week. Mr. Machos also told the Council that during this discussion it had come out that possibly some - ing was needed within the City for the future, that instead of doing things on a hit and miss basis on it was available this year or next year; that the men were wondering if there wouldn't be some possible way make a long term plan to bring the Fire Department of Caldwell up to par year by year and have something Ry could go by. He said he thought this would help moral and the moral of the department wasn't high right q also such a plan could make it easier to hire someone and the hours worked per week was one of the major :tors; that this was really the object in their coming before the Council tonight in trying to work somethii in the future and he was sure the Fire Chief would be willing to work with the Council on such a plan. said he thought it had its merits. Mayor Carpenter stated that he appreciated the attitude of the men on the Fire Department and felt I , it, in going through the budget, they gate real concerned with all the men involved in all the departments I it had been his thinking that they try to work to a three platoon system. He said the Council committee discussed this although they didn't now have any concrete plan as to how. The Mayor said he felt that th additional men this year was a step and possibly, speaking for himself, there was no reason why the two ncilmen and representatives from the Fire Department couldn't get together and work out a feasible plan 269 that they could follow and this he would encourage; both from the standpoint of additional men and keeping of salaries in line. Councilman Banks reported that both he and Councilman Dakan had met with the man in the Fire Department a couple of times in the last two days and after talking to and explaining things with them, the Firemen weren't sure if they should come to this mating and they had come more or less at the insistence of he and Councilman Dakan that they present their own case. Councilman Banks then said he would like to bring oat that in the older fire fighters which would include all of the men In the department except the last three hired, all had from four years one month up to nineteen years six months on the fire department with the Fire Chief having eighteen years, the Assistant FS Chief having nineteen years six months, the Captain eighteen years, Lieutenant 1hchos sixteen years nine months, etc., on down to the four years and one month, and he thought this spoke well for the department in that these men had been with the department this long. He said he knew the City had an efficient fire department and yet in rating according to population, there were .76 firemen per 1,000 population with the Barest City in the State having any size having 1.2 firemen per 1,000 which put Caldwell quite a ways down e line as far as number of personnel on the fire department. Councilman Banks said that, to run a three platoon system, the City would need twenty one roan and they would like to be able to instruct the Fire Chief O rd, with the help of his men and perhaps Councilman Dakan and himself, draw up a three to five year plan for upgrading the fire department; that they would like to have something to go on on this. He said the two men to be added would reduce the work load approximately 6 hours a month or to 66 hours and he pointed out that he hours worked takes the then away from their families and when they worked outside of the department, it y made this worse; that this wasn't a good policy as far as family life was concerned. Councilman Banks j F o added that he didn't think there was a man on the department that wasn't a credit to the City. Fire Chief Harold Perfect stated that he didn't have anything to add but was open to W questions by the Council in thin matter or about the department; that reducing the hours worked was something that had an needed for a long time and they hoped to get the hours down to 56 hours. He also explained the problems encountered in hiring new men for the department. Councilman Dakan stated that he didn't have anything to add at this time and Lieutenant Machos then than ad the Mayor and Council for giving them time to present their case. The Annual Appropriation Bill was then reviewed by Mayor Carpenter with the amounts of each ppropriatian being the same as set Sorth in the official publication, the pointed oat that the salaries proved by the Mayor and Council in the amount of $136,039.50 for the Police Department, providing there wer changes in personnel, would provide for: 1. replacement of Officer R sco April 1, 1970 2. add one additional Patrolman April 1, 1970 3. add one additional Patrolman June 1, 1970 4. add one additional Matron December 1, 1970 The total salaries approved by the Mayor and Council in the amount of $12,669.00 for the Parking [star Department would provide for: 1. Matron Hoyt salary of $310.00 be charged against Parking Meters for January and February. 2. That Matron Hoyt salary be transferred from Parking Maters on March 1, 1970 to the Police Department. A 44 hour work week would be possible on or about June 1, 1970. Mayor Carpenter stated also that planning was one item they were all concerned with and the amount f $20,000.00 had been left in the budget to begin planning for the City this year and he recognized that some f the items in the budget were subject to obtaining an increase in taxes over and above the limitations of B. 3G4. ill No. 7 - Ordinance No. 1189 Councilman Martin introduced Bill No. 7, entitled: N ORDINANCE TERMED THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION BILL, APPROPRIATING MONEY IN SUCH SUM AND SUMS AS ARE D]KEMED iECESSARY TO DEFRAY ALL PROPER EXPENSES AND LIABILITIES OF THE CITY OF CAIDWELL, IDAHO, NOT OTHEMME PROVIDE OP., FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING THE FI115T DAY OF JANUARY, 1970, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 0 -1003, IDAHO CODE.

Councilman MkCluakey inquired as to why provision had been made for a salary for a Sanitation i Officer when Mayor Carpenter stated that a salary had been established in the budget just in case a sanitati -- Officer was needed later during the year; that should a condition arrise where an enforcement officer was needed under the program, the provision mould have been made for his salary. He added that the salary didn't i, need to be spent and could only be spent for the employment of a Sanitation Officer; however, if a budgeted amount was not provided for, a Sanitation Officer couldn't be employed even if needed.

That the foregoing salary schedule shall become effective as of the first day of January, 1970 for all employees of the City excepting for those salaries set forth for the Police Department employees which shall become effective on the first day of March, 1970, Mr. Fred Foster was present and asked about the salary for meter readers which was read as being $380.00 to $445.00 per month and he commented in that these man had been on the fob for tan or fifteen years and did they mean to tell him that they were only paying Clausen $380.00. Air. Foster was informed that meter readers could be paid a salary from $380.00 monthly to a maximum of $445.00 monthly and that both of the City'a meter readers would be paid $445.00 monthly under this schedule. The motion for passage was seconded by Councilman Dakan. A roll call vote was called for when the following Councilmen voted in the affirmative: Banks, McCloskey, Keys, Martin, Davenport, and Dakan. Negative votes: none. Absent and not voting: none. Mayor Carpenter declared that Resolution No. 10 had passed. Inclusion of approximately two additional Blocks in I. I.D. No. 66 discussed City Engineer MAl Levis then informed the Mayor and Council that Mr. Ralph Sneed had requested the inclusion of approximately two :blocks of Twenty -first Avenue extension to be placed in the Local Improvement District this year; that he had signed two Petitions. One requested that the approximately two blocks be improved without concrete curb and gutter, and the other, that it be improved with the curb and gutter as ha been the City's policy. Mr. Lewis said they had had lengthy discussions today and finally Mr. Smeed had agreed that if it was the Council's desire to include the approximately two blocks in the local Improvement District with curb and gutter, this was his desire but he appeals, however, to put it in without curb and gutter with the chief reason being that he doesn't know where to put his entrances at this time. Mr. Lewis then commented in that the local Improvement District had been started at the last meet- ing and the Notice of the Resolution of Intention of the Council had been published and had set the hearing for the next regular meeting of the Council on April 6th. He said the cost of this publication last year was $105.00 so this one would possibly be more if published the three times and it had been printed twice 272 Ise of tonight. Another resolution of intention would need to be published including this approximate two blocks but the notices hadn't as yet been mailed, Mr. Lewis explained the scheduling of the Focal Improvement District procedures which would have put the work about a month ahead of last year and was as it should be in that the work commenced about a month late last year. He proposed that, should the Council decide to make this change, the hearing be set for April 8th with the opening of bids at a special meeting on April 27th. In answer to the question as to the publishing of an amendment to the Resolution of Intent, the City Attorney told the Council that he didn't believe it would be wise in that, at same time later, the bo of the District would need to be sold and he would suggest that they follow the statute explicitly and not risk amending something. This was his recommendation. Councilman Keys spoke regarding the plans for opening up the Twenty -first Avenue extension and he thought that last Friday was the first indication he had had that Mr. Smeed was thinking of including thi in an Improvement District this year; that Mr. Smeed had been out of town and didn't gat the word that the City was forming the District and there probably had been some lack of communication in both respects. The additional advertising costa were discussed and the possibility of absorbing them as a portion of the overhead coats of the District as well as the increase in coat of doing the two blocks if delayed until later. The size of this year's District compared with last years was discussed and the placement of the excavation material for the eventual fill for extending the Avenue on up the hill at some time in the future. Mr. Pate Olesen addressed the Mayor and Council and said he questioned why someone else should I baorb the additional publication coats; that he didnft think the City should nor should they establish this as a policy in future determinations but the man should pay the additional cost himself. In further discussion, it was pointed out that the engineering costs would be less for the approximate two blocks additional than for other areas of the District in that there were no trees or irrigation ditches to move and it was easy going. Councilman Davenport stated that if there was going to be any trouble on who pays the extra publication costa, this portion should not be included in this District and be delayed another year; however, Councilman Dakan spoke in that he felt this was an important project for the City and, if it cost $100,00 to get it into this District and in order to get it started this year, the City should do it. After some further discussion; it was moved by Councilman Dakan that we include the approximately two blocks in the Focal Improvement District with curb and gutter and include the increased coat of public- ation in the front footage cost to Mr. Smeed'a property. The motion was seconded by Councilman McCloskey. A vote was taken and the motion carried. Resolution No. 11 Councilman Kays then sponsored the following Resolution and moved its passage: RESOLUTION NO. 11 BY COUNCILMAN KEYS A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE INTENTION OF THE CITY OF CALDWELL TO CREATE AND ESTABLISH LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 66 FOR THE CITY OF CALDWELL, CANYON COUHTY, IDAHO, FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING SUITABLE CURBS AND GUTTERS ABED STREET AND ALLEY VALLEYS THEREIN, STATING THE STREETS AND ALLEYS UPON WHICH THE SAID CURB, OUT=, STREET, AM ALLEY.VALLEY IMFROMMENTS ARE TO BE MADE, AND FOR THE PURPOSE OF SURFACING, GRADIN AND OILING THE STREETS AND AVENUES THEREIN, STATING THE STREETS AND AVENGES UPON WHICH THE SAID SURFACING, OWING AND OILING MPROVEMENTS ARE TO BE MADE, THE GENE RAL CHARACTER OF SAID IMPROVEMENTS, THE ESTIMATED COST OF THE SAME, AND THAT SUCH COST IS TO BE AFFIXED AGAINST THE ABUTTING, ADJOINING, CONTIGUOUS, AND AD- JACENT LANDS ALONG AND UPON WHICH SAID IMPROVEMENTS ARE TO BE MADE AMID UPON THE LOTS AND LANDS BERgFI7ED BY SUCH IMPROVEMENTS AM INCLUDED IN THE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FORMED, AND THE METHOD BY WHICH THE COSTS AND E% PENSES OF THE IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE INTERSECTIONS ARE TO BE PAID, FIXING THE TIME WITHIN WHICH PROTEST AGAINST SAID PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS MAY BE FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK AND FIXING THE TIME WHEN SUCH PROTEST SHALL BE HEARD AND CONSIDERED BY THE COUNCIL, DECLARING THE INTENTIONS OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL TO PROVIDE FOR THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH IMPROVEMENTS AND THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS PAYABLE IN TER EQUAL I% STALLMETS AND THE ISSUANCE OF INTERIM WARRANTS OF SAID DISTRICT TO BE PAID, REDEEMED, AND RETIRED FROM THE PROCEEDS OF THE SALE OF SAID BONDS, SAID BONDS TO BE REDEEMED, PAID, AND RETIRED OUT OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE SAID ASSESSMENTS LEVIED AND ASSESSED FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH IMPROVEMENTS AND DE- CLARING AN EMERGENCY.
