"Bill" Keys, P. Jay Martin, and James R. Dakan. Absent: C. A. "Chet" Davenport. Bid Opening _ construction work at Sewage Treatment Plant Mayor Carpenter stated the purpose of the Special Meeting and, as the first order of business, he turned the meeting to Mr. Roger Bissell who was representing CH2M in the opening of bids for improvement work at the Sewage Treatment Plant. Mk. Bissell told the Council that the receiving of bids was closed at four o'clock with only the one bid having been received from Watkins Construction Co. of Boise, Idaho. The one bid was then opened and Yr. Bissell reported from the bid submitted in that the bid bond had been filled out with Power of Attorney attached and that the compliance statements had been signed. The total of the bid was announced as being in an amount of $29,400.00 with it being indicated that the mechanic sub- contractor being Drake Pitmtbing and Heating of Boise and the electrical being Electrical Service Co. of Boise. Mr. Bissell also announced that the Performance Bond was by United Pacific Insurance Company of Boise and he said that it seemed to be in order; that they would take the bid back to Boise, would then analyse the proposal to see that there were no discrepancies in the breakdown, make up a tabulation and send copies to the City; also, they would check with FWQA so far as the grant approval was concerned. He stated that his estimate had been $20,000.00. Mr. Earl Reynolds told the Council that with a project of this size and of this proplexity, it was difficult to ger very many bids and they had obviously suffered from this. At the same'time, FWQA would want to be certain that they were getting their money's worth and they were usually a little hesitant about approv ing a project with only one bid. He said that they were going to analyze quite carefully what the contractor rad used for the basis of his bid and review the bid with the water quality people before making any ^ecommendation to the City. It was moved by Councilman Beeks, seconded by Councilman McCluskey, that the bid be taken under idviaement until a recommendation could be received from the Engineering Firth. A vote was taken and the 529 motion carried. Request for variance approved - A -A -A Realty The following letter from A-A-A Realty was read for the consideration of the Council: March 5, 1971 7b: the Mayor and City Council Fkmbers Caldwell, Idaho Re: Variance in Ordinance Mobile Homes Property: Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, Block 12 - Golden Cate Addition - Corner 3rd and Elgin Dimensions: Elgin 4 lots 4x25 - 100 ft. plus 20 - 120 Ft. 3rd Ave. 120 Ft. Area: 120x120 equals - 14,000 Sq. Ft. Request Variance: To install 3 Mobile Homes -- Per Att. Drawing You will remember that this corner was nothing but a weed patch with 3 old shacks when we took it over. Now we have cleaned up the lots, removed the old shacks and this improvement planned will make one of the best looking corners in that part of the City of Caldwell. For your further information, 2 of these Mobila Homes would be owned and installed by Gordon L. Hammond, now residing at 1519 Monte Vista St., Caldwell, Idaho. She other would be installed and owned by A -A -A REALTY. Will appreciate your prompt consideration of this proposal. Respectfully Submitted A -A -A REALTY By (Signature) Earl H. Brockman Mayor Carpenter reported that he had discussed this with the Building Inspector and said that even by coming out ten feet in this area, it would still allow the mobile homes to line up with the existing structures on Third Avenue so they would not be 'sitting out away from the normal line of homes that were all ready in and the other lot met the requirements of the mobile home ordinance. He stated that the re- quest for variance was to put these two homes on an area which lacked 600 square feet of meeting the require- ments of the mobile home ordinance and that, personally, he could see no real problems involved here and thought it would be a good addition for the corner even though it didn't meet the requirements of the ordinance. The Mayor also stated that the Building Inspector was favorable to the granting of the variance. It was moved by Councilman Mc auskey, seconded by Councilman Martin, that the variance be granted to allow the placement of three mobile homes on this area at the corner of Third and Elgin. A vote was taken and the motion carried. Request for Circus from Canyon County Deputy Sheriff's Association approved Pt'. Francis_ Howery, representing the Canyon County Deputy Sheriff's Association as its President, was recognized and he told the Council that they would like to sponsor a Circus in Caldwell on one of the following dates: May 18, 19, or 20. He stated that a definate date hadn't been established as yet but it was planned for the Circus to be located at the Rodeo Grounds and they would also request a waiver of fee. Mr. Howery further stated that the proceeds would be used to sponsor a baseball team and work for children; that the Circus would be sponsored on a guarantee basis. In discussion, it was stated that the dates requested would be a good month's difference from the dates established for the Jaycees as their event was scheduled for June 7th. It ryas moved by Councilman McCluskey, seconded by Councilman Hanks, that as long as the area was kept, or returned to the same condition that it was prior to use by the Circus, the request for a Circus be granted and the license fees be waived.
