Reminder on invitation to attend the Boise Little Theatre Mayor Smith re:unded everyons of the invitation from the Mayor of Boise for their attendance for an evening of entertainment at the Bolse Little Theatre on May 21, 1968, at 8:00 p.m. Request to vacate property anticipated - Idaho Meat Packers The Mayor informed the Council that there would be a request from the representatives of the Idaho Meat Packers regarding a narrow block of road between Franklin Road and the old Hoff Lumber Company; that this first was requested as a vacation of a road but it wasn't in the regular road right -of- way and it was fo=d that what they were requesting for vacation eras city owned property in 9loek 4, 5, and 6 in Foote Addition to the City of Caldwell. He said there would be a request for this at the next Council meeting and he thought the Council should look at the property which was acquired from ii. B. Owinn in 1931. The Mayor also informed the Council that he was going to suggest to them that they consider trading the ground for a road right -of_wa riving access from Interstate 80 to Simplot Stadium. Permission given to put excess well water into sewer system Mr. L. A. Robinson, residing at 1001 North Kimball Avenue, was recognized and told the Council that is had been asked to come to the City Council meeting to find out whether or not he could put the water from its artisian well back into the city sewer as it had been. For clarification, Mayor Smith inquired if this wasn't artisian well water used for domestic purpose and that there was an excess flow which he wanted to run into the domestic sewer line. Mr. Robinson said the :his was right. Mayor Smith pointed out to the Council then that the reason Mr. Robinson was present was in connect -1 .on with the sewer study and the attempt to eliminate the excess water from the system which, primarily, was round water; however, the granting of permission to I -k•. Robinson of his request would be directly against thel :sty's policy. The Mayor also explained to Mr. Robinson teat the city's sewer processing system was designed i 1 465 for a city of 29,000 people but the system was getting so much excess water into it that they were almost up to capacity now and the city had had a study made in an attempt to get the excess water out of the sewer i system, that he realized what Mr. Robinson was talking about was only a drop in the bucket but he was talking 1-bout the real problem in the old sewer lines and the city was going to have to start spending a lot of money on them in order to get the ground water out of the system. Mr. Robinson stated that the City Fngineer had told him there would be a penalty and he was willin to pay a reasonable rate to let the water into the sewer although when he bought the place the water was go- ing into the sewer and had been up until this time. He said it had about a.1LAm pipe; that they used domesti tally from it and he irrigated with it during the summer so the largest amount of water going to the sewer would be in the winter months. About 1,500 gallons a day was a rough estimate. Mr. Robinson inquired about the number of years the well could flow into the sewer to establish a right and Mayor Smith stated that he didn't think anyone could establish a right to go into a sewer under such circumstances if it was creating a big enough problem. his. Robinson also informed the Council that the Golden Gate Irrigation District wouldn't let him run the water info their ditch and that, if he capped the well, there was a chance of loosing it. ^b% Robinson also presented a question concerning the sewer at McGarvin's in that he wondered if the city should have allowed Mr, Mc Garvin to build over the sewer without replacing the sewer with cast iron pip and Mayor Smith pointed out that this was a private sewer on private Property and ender one ownership at the time, where the city had no control. He pointed out that there were many things in connection with the save lines on the property which no one new about including their location. The b;ayor informed Mr. Robinson that if he could present some factual information concerning the sewers, the city would want to be fair to him, but the history did indicate that Mr. Smith h =_d created tee problem when the property was under one ownershi and it was a private sewer line situation. Considerable discussion followed with no action taken. Councilman Keys entered the meeting during the above discussion and the matter of granting Mr. Robinson permission to run his well water into the domestic sewer was main taken :p for consideration at this time. It was moved by Councilman Carpenter, seconded by Councilman Banks, that uzitil the city made a change, Mr. Robinson be parmitted to rut-_ his water into the sewer. In discussion of the motion, it was pointed out that the water main was in front of Mr. Robinsonls property and that he would be charged for running the water into the sewer to be determined by the a of water and this based upon the city water rate times 60;x. Councilman Davenport stated that he thought it important that Mr. Robinson understand that this would not give him a permanent right and that when the city bean a program to remove the water in that area from the sewer line, he would be requested to remove the well water from the sewer. A vote was then taken and the motion ca-ried. Mayor Smith informed 4r. Robinson. that the Gity Engineer would determine the charge and he could proceed. Report of bidding on construction of Administration Building at Airport Dr, Lewis Keys of Nampa, Architect for the construction of the Administration Building at the Airpor reported to the Council o�i the results of the bid opening held at the Chamber of Commerce office. He said there were four bidders and named Emery Conner, Ober and F'liten, Bob Madden and Dorsey Construction with all being within a few hundred dollars of each other. He said that Bob 143dden was the low bidder with a base bid of $23,331.00. There were three alternates; one for carpet in lieu of tile in one office, one for folding doors separating the meeting room from the entrance area, and one for drapes throughout the building with these amounting to about $935.00 additional. ?t•. Keys said they had anticipated about $19,000.00 total so the low bid was around $5,000.00 over what had been anticipated and in looking back over it he had no answer 'as to why the overage unless it was just a general raise in prices and he didn't know what night be changed to mare any major difference but they could ge back and study it over if the Council would like for them to do so as no award of the bid had been made. After some discussion, it was suggested the. 'hey take a couple of day_ to go over the bids and 1 epeci£ications and then come back with a recommendation; then the Council could get a committee together or I 466 otherwise consider the matter at ''.he next meeting.

Payment to Contractor for well drilling authorized City Engineer ; l Lewis then discussed payment to the Contractor for drilling Well No. 7 with the Council and first reviewed the following estimates for budget purposes: Well - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - $ 13, 368.00 Building - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Line to Cleveland- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - — 4,500.00 3,500.09 Wirth Line - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 13,528.00 Pump z uotor - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- 6.Oo0.0o Pomphouse Fittings - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3,000.00 Drainline- - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - 800.00 $ ,0 0 With reference to the above amounts and to the total of $45,000.00, Mr. Lewis said that this was the amount that Caldwell Unlimited was borrowing and putting into the City's hands for this job with the city to repay them over a period of rears. He referred to the building cost and said there may be a little less cost here however, the line to Cleveland and the Wirth line were pretty well estimated and the cost of the pump and motor was going to cost more than $6,000.00 he believed - there might be some saving in fittings but drainline cost wouldn't change. W. lawis then referred to the follo•ing amounts: Amount of the Bid - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - $11,315.00 The total amount of those items bid and subsequent- ly approved for payment - - - - - - - - - - 12,738.68 # Extras approved for payment - - - - - - - - - - - 703.45 tr Included from 10 inch to 12 inch casing, welding in some blank casing between screens, and payment of the salvage value on the 20 inch that the contractor retrieved from the old hole because he was asked to use 24 inch casing in the second hole. From the above figures, $13,442.13 had been authorized and paid, less retainage, and now the contractor was askin for additional payment as follows: # Payment for material for the acid treatment - - - $ 666.00 Payment of cost of the lost screens - - - - - - - 2,494.73 a 'these were materials recommended by the Consultant Engineers to be put in the well to try to get more complete development after the well had been tested at 750 gallons per minute with a_50 feet of drawdown with sand. After treatment, around 2,345 gallons per minute with about the same drawdown. The City Engineer stated that he would think this to be reasonable although this could probably be considered as a part of the bid. 1kyor SrAth also commented in that he thought the amount cf $666.00 for the acid treat- ment materials should be paid by the city. The following letter was then reed: Melvin G. Lewis, P.E. Office of City Erainesr, Caldwell, Idaho Dear Sir: Pby 18, 1968 You will find enclosed, our invoice A 2085 listing the charges for the drilling of the well for the City of Caldwell. The last item on this invoice represente our landed cost of the fifty feet of 10 -3/4a Johnson well screen that was installed in the first well drilled for the city. As you know, this screen collapsed after it. - installed. No one kne:,s why this happened but .a do knoe; that it was dce to pressure outside the screen, presumably caused by slippage or caving of the formation. We Spent over $5,000.00 in labor, materials, and special tool in trying to recover this screen but were not successful. Our billing on this invoice does not include any of the costs of the salvage operation. i Sincerely, Ieo McCulloch Pump Dept. The Council then disccssed the line : ;hiah would tie the well to the ten inch line on Cleveland Boulevard (budgeted at a cost of $3,509.00) and the City Engineer explained that one of the difficulties of 1 469 Il o£ operating this well was that they had talked about a 75 h.p. motor which would easily pump a thousand gallons per minute out of the well on the basis of information that the consult =rts' had given them but, as he viewed it, even with the tie -in they could only use the well as a stand -by because once it runs for 15 minutes it would hit the demand charge which was $72.90; then they had to pump it to let the kwh catch up r-- with the demand charge so as to reduce the unit cost Per million gallons pumped and this they wouldn't have any opportunity to do at this time - probably wouldn't have without an additional tie along Linden from Cleveland to Indiana and more likely to Chic. He stated that then they would have some chance of getting the water back to town. Mr. Lewis further commented in that the well bad been drilled principally for fire pro- tection so they could just let it stand and upon demand of a low pressure it would pump but there would be the power bill for demand if this happened. In answer to the question, he said that he didn't know if this (would satisfy the fire rating bureau's requirement for pressure at the Wirth plant. The hzyor then referred to the matter of the $2,49h.73 cost of lost screens and whether the city had any responsibility here. The City Engineer informed the Council that they could only guess as to what ',might have happened in the first well but they did know that something had collapsed and in answer to the question, he said that personally he didn't think the city had much responsibility in this. Mayor Smith referred to the requirement of the Engineering Department for a two inch pipe to the bottom of the well to add the filter material and asked if this had contributed to the problem of loosing the :screens. Mr. Lewis stated that this had contributed but was in the specifications and was an idea of the Consulting Engineers'; it had been discussed extensively with B & 1r: Equipment and with consultants here and in Arizona where apparently they knew more an this than they did in this area. He said that the difficulty lin this whole thing was that the knowledge surrounding the drilling of wells in fine sand by the rotary method just hadn't had enough experience here. He added that the time delay in putting the pipe down probably contributed to either the formation collapsing or some other condition that did cause the eventual collapse against the screens, however, his department did not regulate the contractor at all in his efforts to salvage the pipe and screens. In answer to the question, the City Engineer stated that the total cost to the contractor, if payment was made for the cost of the lost screens in the amount of $2,494.73, would be $16,602.86 or an amount of $3,234.86 over the amount estimated in the budget. It was pointed out that the overage would probably have to come from the amount shown in the budget at Aven -IM in an amount of $8,hoo. Mayor Smith stated that he thought he would recommend that if they awarded about $2,000.00 on the screens they would be fair and after some discussion as to whether the city should allow the full $2,494.73 or some percentage of this amount; it was moved by Councilman Carpenter, seconded by Councilman Banks, that are authorize payment of $2,k96.73. A roll call vote was called for when the following Councilmen voted in the affirmative: Banks, Harrison, Keys, and Carpenter. Negative votes: Martin and Davenport. Absent and not voting: none. Mayor Smith declared that the motion had carried and B & M Equipment Company was awarded 1the $2,494.73 expense. It was then moved by Councilman Martin, seconded by Councilman Carpenter, that the amount less ratainage be included and paid with the claims Presented at this meeting. A vote was taken and the motion carried. Extension of water line approved subject to participation The City Engineer then informed the Council that Mr. Warren had asked trim concerning the possibi ty of extending the water line along Marshall Avenue from the and of West Ash to serve him. Mr. Lewis stated that the city did not have one of their major water mains extending along this street so they would normally make a six inch extension; that the material cost would be $1,072.00 and Mr. Warren would hope to put two houses on city water. it was agreed that the water extension, without participation, would not be economical to the we department due to the apparent lack of irmmediate development and after some discussion; it was moved by Councilman Martin, seconded by Councilman Harrison, that the city place a six inch water line extension as requested oroviding Rr. Warren participate in the cost in the amount of $300.00. A vote was taken and the motion carried. i 47a Applications for Bartender Permits approved Applications for Bartender Permits from Molly L. Beasher, Sharon L. Waller, Claudia Boatman, Ella Mae Wittenborn, Jeanette M. Kettering, and Davetta S. Dickinson were presented for the consideration of the i Council. Each application had been approved by the Chief cf Police and was accompanied by a receipt from the Clerk for the required fee. It was moved by Councilman Da­��rlport, seconded by Councilman Martin, that the applications for Barl Permits be approved and that the permits be issued. A -rote was taken and the motion carried.
