(ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE)
The Mayor explained that the City Council was scheduled to have the
third reading at this meeting on a change in the subdivision
ordinance whereby it would make an Industrial Subdivision more
flexible than a housing subdivision. However, due to research on
the part of the City Engineer, he has come up with the fact that
procedural requirements for adoption of subdivision ordinance were
the same as for the adoption of Comprehensive Plans and Zoning
Ordinances. Hearings before the Planning and Zoning Commission and
the governing body were required for the adoption or amendment.
Existing subdivision ordinances may be updated and amended in the
same manner. The Mayor further said that this discovery was just
in time as the Bill was scheduled for the third reading at this
meeting. The Bill will be pulled from the Agenda and will start
over in the Planning and Zoning Commission with a public hearing.

received a letter from the Fire Chief pertaining to this request
which he read as follows:
In regards to the Western Trailer Works request for permission
to install a mobile home on their property for a security
guard. If this request is granted by the City Council, I
would like to recommend that the mobile home be placed on the
North East corner of their property.
There is a need for a gate to be installed at this corner, so
the Fire Department will have access to the rear of this
property and to the hydrant on Summer Street.
There will also be a need to tile the ditch that separates the
Western Trailer Works and Summers Street. (crossing)
/s/ Thomas W. Burns
Fire Chief

(PUBLIC HEARING TO CORRECT IRRIGATION TOLLS)
MOTION CARRIED
The Mayor stated that the law on irrigation states that within
the first twenty days of March each year the City Council will meet
to hear protests on the irrigation tolls in the Caldwell Municipal
Irrigation System District. The Mayor then opened the meeting
for a Public Hearing to hear any protests.
The Mayor added as a matter of information that only Friday
did the City receive the forms on which to bill the irrigation
tolls so he would recommend that the Public IIearing be held
open until the next meeting which will be March 18th. During this
period, the toll notices will be sent out and the Council will again
reconvene the Public Hearing for irrigation toll protests at that
time.
Hearing no objections to this proposal, the Mayor so ordered.
(REQUEST TO SEND WAYNE NEILSENi TO ENERGY CONTROL SCHOOL)
The Mayor reported that he had been in touch with the State Office
of Energy and they were scheduling a school on March 18, 19, and
20 and asked that the City of Caldwell appoint a representative to
attend this school at no cost to the City of Caldwell. The City
was also asked to complete a preliminary energy audit questionnaire
and that the person appointed to attend this school bring this
questionnaire with them to the school. The second requirement
for participation was completion, of a walk through energy audit
which would be made possible by the City's appointment of a
representative to this energy school. The Mayor said that he would
like to present to the City Council the name of Wayne Nielsen,
the Building Official, as a representative to attend this school.
He had discussed this with the Department of Energy and had
submitted Mr. Nielsen's name and the City will receive a
questionnaire for the City of Caldwell to fill out and for Mr.
Neilsen to return. The Mayor was seeking the Council's approval
of this appointment.
Councilwoman Williams stated that she felt it was important that
the City of Caldwell send someone, but also felt it was important
that the City Council have some sort of a written report when the
representative comes back from the school.
MOVED by Williams, SECONDED by McCluskey that the City Council
confirm the appointment of Wayne Nielsen to attend this school as
explained by the Mayor with the stipulation that the Council have
written report of the three day school.
Councilman McCluskey stated that he would prefer a verbal report
perhaps at a noon meeting where the Council could ask some questions
This would take a lot less of Mr. Neilsen's time.
Councilman hopper stated that he still liked the idea of some kind
of a written resume as it could be placed in their personnel file
and another advantage of a written report would be reference to
ascertain whether to send someone to a similar school in the
future.
Councilwoman Williams stated that she would amend her motion to
include that a verbal report be made to the City Council as well
as the written report. The second agreed to this amendment to the
motion.
Roll call vote. Those voting yes: Williams, Hopper, Carter,
McCluskey, and Betts. Those voting no: none. Absent and not

(CONSIDERATION OF TIE -DOWN AREA AT AIRPORT)
The Mayor commented that the City had a very aggressive Fixed Base
Operator at the Airport. Subject to the limitations of the gas
situation, he felt that it was the feeling of the Airport Commission
and some of the City Council and himself that there was no limit
to how far he could go in the development of the City airport.
Mr. Garland has used up all of the original tie -down area that was
in the original contract for the development of the airport that the
F.A.A. paid ninety percent of. At the request of the Airport
Commission, the Assistant City Engineer went out and examined
the property adjacent to the tie -down area; had the survey crew
go out and do some surveying and discussed the problem at length
with Mr. Garland, the Fixed Base Operator. The Assistant Engineer,
Dave Baker, came up with a plan to expand additional paved space for
a tie -down area. Mr. Baker's cost estimates were $3,285.00 for
excavation; $2,800.00 for two inch gravel; $1,500.00 for three
quarter inch gravel and at the last conversation he was about to
eliminate all three quarter inch gravel; $15,180.00 for asphalt;
and $3,415.00 for Engineering fees. It was the recommendation of
Mr. Baker that the City Street Department crew be authorized to do
this work. They have the gravel, and the ability to do the
excavation; and can do the asphalt as well as any crew in the
country and the City Engineering Department was involved. Mr. Baker
figures that the City can save a minimum of 200 over contract price
by doing this with the City's crew.
The Mayor further commented that the Airport presently has the
cash on hand to not only do this work, but to pay off a portion of
the registered warrant that the City has with the Idaho First
National Bank which will be the difference between the airport
grant by the F.A.A. which final application has gone in and the ten
percent differential which the State comes up with 5% and the City
comes up with 50. The Mayor was asking permission from the City
Council to authorize the Assistant City Engineer, Mr. Baker, to
proceed with the orderly dispatch of this job, breaking it down one
item at a time.
MOVED by McCluskey that the Assistant City Engineer be authorized
to proceed with the orderly dispatch of this job with the
stipulations that it not interfere with normal street maintenance
work and do the work as time permits. This was SECONDED by
Hopper.
The Mayor explained that this priority of work had been discussed
with the Street Superintendent and the Assistaat City Engineer.
This was the understanding on which they would proceed.
Councilwoman Williams asked if the accrued interest was figured
and if there would be enough money to do this.
The Mayor answered that the accrued interest had not been figured.
As of December 31, the City had a. cash balance in the Airport Fund
of $60,000.00. The City has an income of $400.00 per month from the
Fixed Base Operator, an income from the Cunningham property from the
Matsumoto Brothers for farm rental of approximately $1,800.00; an
income from the Goiri and Campbell property of approximately $5,500.00
He felt in his opinion that there was no problem.
Councilman Hopper said that he might mention that the Commission
talked about this and there was some $42,000.00 in Capital
Improvement monies.
Councilwoman Williams stated that she was not worried about the
budget, but she would feel better about this if the registered
warrants were picked up.
Councilman Hopper pointed out that this project would only take about
half of that and he felt that the account was healthy enough.
The Mayor stated that the interest would be about $15,000.00 so the
cash balance should be ample.
Councilman Betts asked if the City's tie -down fees were in line in
Book 21
comparison to other airports.
Page 60
The Mayor said that these fees were set by the Fixed Base Operator.
The Mayor also pointed out the difference in income received from
the new airport as compared to the old airport.
The Mayor then asked :for a roll call vote on the motion as made by
Councilman McCluskey. Those voting yes: McCluskey, Betts,
Williams, Hopper, and Carter. Those voting no: none. Absent and
not voting: Raymond.
MOTION CARRIED
(PUBLIC HEARING ON VACATION OF PART OF AN EASEMENT IN THE PALRANG
SUBDIVISION)
The Mayor declared the meeting open as a Public Hearing on a vacaic
of part of an easement in Lots I' and 13, Block 4 of the Palrang
Subdivision. The Mayor called on the City Engineer to give an
explanation with regard to this item.
Mr. Lewis stated that this was the area South of Ustick and East
of Oregon Street. Palrang Subdivision was approximately four blocks
South and about one half a mile out of the City Limits. This
easement was along the North side of that Subdivision and was
twenty feet wide which was a bit; unusual. It anticipated a sewer
and other utilities. Mr. Lewis said that he was not sure at this
time whether the sewer would even be in the easement. It was his
recommendation that consideration be given to granting half of
that easement down to ten feet be vacated subject to this hearing.
Since there was no one else who cared to speak with regard to this
vacation, the Mayor declared the Public Dearing closed.
(BILL NO. 6; ORDINANCE NO. 1559; VACA'T'ION OF UTILITY EASEMENT IN PALRANG

The City Engineer was recognized and stated that one finding that
hasn't been in these types of ordinances before,was included in this
Ordinance. He pointed out that in Section 2 was stated, "The
Mayor and City Council of the City of Caldwell have determined that
the vacation hereinafter described is in the best interest of the
City of Caldwell and its citizens, and that no person not consenting
to such vacation will be damaged thereby." This statement would
be included in all ordinances regarding vacations from now on.
Book 21
(CHANGES IN PERSONNEL POLICIES)
Page 61
The Mayor called on Councilwoman Williams to discuss the proposed
changes in the Personnel Policy.
Councilwoman Williams stated that she was prepared to discuss this
but after talking with Mr. Lewis with regard to the changes she
felt that the discussion should be postponed until some
clarification was made regarding vacations. They had added a
paragraph to the vacation which they thought would take care of the
problem whereby effective date of this policy on earned vacation
will be retroactive to January 1, 1980; any unused vacation
recognized on the date of this policy will be the one carried over
from 1979.' Now, Mr. Lewis has proposed another problem with this
accrual so somehow they must get back to the old policy of a
calendar basis unless they want this accrued paid. It was
Councilwoman William's suggestion that it not be decided at this
meeting and that she would propose that the Council study these
changes and that a Special Meeting be called.
The Mayor stated that a Special Meeting would be called on March
6th at 3:00 p.m.
(RESOLUTION NO. 11 -80 - AGREEMENT WITH BLAKLEY ENGINEERS AND THE IDAHO

The Mayor explained that this would be at an estimated cost of
$600.00.
The City Engineer was recognized and stated that he would like to
make some comments that he would like to have entered in the minutes.
Mr. Lewis stated that there was changes to the agreements submitted
to him that he felt the Council should approve as to the original

twelve bridges instead of fourteen. Two of them were eliminated.
They were in the Riverside Canal where the change was being made
by the Highway Department. (2) That the cost be changed to
$5,382.00 which was the total contract price. The City was
responsible for a little over ten percent of this price. (3) That
a reference be added to this agreement for the former agreement
No. SOS- 0680(1) for the purpose of obtaining Federal Highway Funds.
This agreement says nothing about reimbursement. There was another
agreement that said it and Mr. Lewis did not see why the City didn't
tie the two together to make surf; that everyone understands that the
City will get reimbursed. Also, in this agreement were all of the
Federal requirements of a Federal agreement with respect to those
things were in here. It was the City Engineer's recommendation that

an Agreement in the form of a. letter which was acceptable to him and
was also acceptable to Mr. Lewis. The maximum cost would be

MOTION CARRIED
(RESOLUTION NO. 16 -80 - ADDENDUM AGREEMENT WITH IDAHO HOUSING AGENCY)
The Mayor explained that the next item on the Agenda was a
Resolution concerning an addendum to the Agreement between the City
of Caldwell and the Idaho Housing Agency. Originally, when the City
got the Rehab Grant from H.U.D., it was the decision of the City
Council to make rehabilitation loans through and in conjunction with
the Idaho Housing Agency who were going to buy the loans from the
City's regular lending agencies. Then, the City was notified by
Housing and Urban Development that the Idaho Housing Agency was not
loaning the money fast enough. Nampa had two years accumulation on
hand and Caldwell had not been authorized to make any loans as yet.
The Mayor and Donna Talley were asked to go to Boise with the Mayor
of Nampa and the Nampa Planner to meet with Mr. Apperton, who heads
Boise's twelve man crew on rehabilitation. He agreed to train
Nampa and Caldwell representatives and he urged them to form a four
Book 21
Page 64
man crew; one man stationed in Caldwell and one in Nampa to go out
and, tell the people about the loans that were available. A joint
use between Nampa and Caldwell would be for one person to supervize
the loans and one to supervize the construction. The salaries and
expenses would be jointly paid by both cities and Boise was good
enough to say that they would train at no cost to either City.
Then, the Idaho Housing Agency set up a meeting with H.U.D. and
worked out an agreement where the Idaho Housing Agency would again
handle these loans on a one percent interest rate and it would not
be necessary for Caldwell or Nampa to create their own staff:: Today
Donna got a call saying that H.U.D. wanted Caldwell and Nampa to
create this joint staff because the loans were not being made
fast enough. So, there was no objection to operating within
the confines of the Idaho Housing Agency and to the City
approving this Addendum. They just point out that the Idaho
Housing Agency was interested in the whole State and the money
coming into Caldwell and Nampa may not be as fast as should be.
The suggestion was that this Addendum be passed and approved, but
at the same time the -joint staff was to be created. The Planner
from Nampa was to contact Donna and set up a meeting with
Mr. Apperton in Nampa and invite the City Council of Caldwell to
attend the meeting. As yet, Donna had not heard again from the
Planner in Nampa. In the meantime, the Mayor stated that he would
urge the Council to pass the Resolution which he read in full as
follows:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK OF THE CITY
OF CALDWELL TO EXECUTE AN ADDENDUM AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF CALDWELL AND TIIE IDAHO HOUSING AGENCY.
BE IT RESOLVED That the Mayor and City Clerk of the City
of Caldwell be and the same hereby are, authorized. to execute

(COMMITTEE REPORTS)
Page 65
Councilwoman Williams reported that she did attend the Library
Meeting, but there was nothing special to report. They were pleased
with the computer terminal.
Councilman Hopper reported that the Parks and Recreation Commission
met on Monday. The Recreation Director commented on the highly
successful basketball season. He was now organizing the soft-
ball for this year and it was found that inflation was hitting all
of the groups. It appears that parents and /or sponsors will have
to help them financially. The Little League parents were especially
organized.
The City Engineer informed the Council that they all had letters
in their boxes with regard to the Belmont Sewer Interceptor house
connections. This letter states that they were not grant eligible.
He further reported that the Planning and Zoning Commission
received a request from the State Highway Department as to what
was the City's stance with regard to variances and creation of
variances on parcels of land that they were acquiring for the right
of way on the Interstate through Caldwell. Essentially, the Highway
Department wanted to know if a variance was created, would it be
required to be corrected immediately. The Planning and Zoning
Commission said that as far as they were concerned those would not
be required to be corrected immediately, particularly setbacks.
Those setbacks that were created that were outside of the ordinance
can be applied for through the Planning and Zoning Commission and
they will consider them as the situation comes up before them on
the merits of each individual case.
Councilwoman Williams inquired as to whether Mr. Garrett was
informed that the $14,000.00 was not available. The Mayor stated
that he did write him a letter and that Councilman McCluskey had
talked with him. The Mayor explained that the Senior Citizens were
—.- promised this money for their building fund, but word was received
today that it would not be available.
There being no further business, the Meeting was adjourned at
9:00 P.M.
