August 18, 1967 The following letter on a Community Development workshop to be held in Twin Falls on August 18, 1967, was read: July lo, 1967 Dear Mayor & Councilmen.: The Association of Idaho Cities will co- sponsor with the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) a community development workshop on August 18, 1967. Twin Falls, Idaho, has been selected as the host city. This workshop will be a first in this intermountain region and will cover such topics as: (1) Workable Program for Community Improvement (2) Comprehensive Planning (3) Urban Renewal (L) Code Enforcement Projects (5) Demolition Grants (6) Housing Assistance Programs (7) Community Facilities (8) Urban Beautification This meeting is an outgrowth of many inquires from communities which do not have r^ the personnel or the time to make the rounds of government agencies in an effort to understand the available programs for community betterment. It is the best and only' opportunity to be offered in the state this year whereby officials and officers of cities of all sizes can acquire information of value to them in planning and programing for future development. A detailed agenda is in the making, and you will be sent a copy as soon as it is prepared. Since the agenda will cover various housing assistance and community develop- ment programs, two concurrent sessions will be held. Therefore it would be advisable that at least two delegates be in attendance to benefit from both sessions. Time is of the essence, so we would appreciate your letting us know as soon as possible how many persons will be attending from your city and what topics will be of interest to you. Enclosed please find a post card for this purpose, addressed to the local coordinator of this workshop, James R. Kelsch, Executive Director of the Twin Falls Urban Renewal Agency and a member of NAHRG. Also enclosed is a post card for motel reservations at the Holiday Inn mere the workshop will be held. For the benefit of all city officials and officers, a more detailed explanation as to the workshop agenda will be outlined in the August "Gem City News ". We certainly hope and encourage you to make plans to attend this worthwhile meeting. Sincerely, Ed Simmerman I' Executive Director I I It was noted that reservations should be sent in as soon as possible and it was agreed that it would be decided by the coming Friday as to who could attend the workshop. 'Request for City to atop building of Motel Mayor Smith reported an inquiry from Agnes C. King as the purchaser of the Sundowner Motel, with copies of the letter to all Councilmen, in which they had complained about Mr. Bushnell encroaching upon their property and a disagreement between themselves and Mr. Bushnell about what property they purchased with the Sundowner. They were also concerned with Mr. Bushnell's engaging in construction of a competing Metal without the formality of a proper building permit. The Mayor stated that their letter was requesting the City to stop Mr. Bushnell from building until he meats the Code requirements. Mayor Smith further reported that action was being taken on this and a notice to decease and desiai would be delivered by hand on the following day. A notice had been orepared and sent by registered mail but the Post Office couldn't find the letter which was delivered by the Building Inspector a week ego. Resolution No. 14 In discussing an action of the Council at their meeting on June 19, 1967 concerning a letter from the Mayor of Stockton, California and concerning the passage of a similar resolution to the one presented at that meeting; Councilmen Banks commented in that he was in favor of the resolution and the legislation but he wondered in that, if the resolution was passed by this Council, would this place the City of Caldwell in is position of being discriminated against for Federal funds later. Mayor Smith stated that he didn't think so in that this was a request, by resolution, for modification of the laws to provide more home rule or de. cision making at the local level rather than at the Federal level. Councilman Banks then sponsored the following Resolution and moved its passage: �i 300 RESOLUTION NO. lh - BY COUNCILMAN BANKS WHEREAS, Title II of the ,-aid Act, PLANNED METROPOLITAN DEVELOPMENT provides that after June 30, 1967, all applications for federal loans or grants and aids, not only for open space land projects but also for hospitals, airports, libraries, water supply distribution facilities, sewage facilities and waste treat- ment works, highways, transportation facilities, and water development and land conservation within any metropolitan area shall be submitted and reviewed by an area wide agency designated to perform metropolitan and regional planning, and WHEREAS, other Federal Acts including but not limited to the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, Federal Water Polution Control Act and Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1961, and the Housing Act of 1961 are subject to the sane or similar requirements. and WHEREAS, these mandatory requirements force federal dictation and control and should be local affairs in violation of principals and concepts of home rule in matters best left to the determination of local elected officials who are more acquainted with and cognizance of the needs and desires of their constituents; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED By the Council of the City of Caldwell as follows: That the City Council respectfully requests Congressman James A. McClure to support legislation in the Congress of the United States rescinding or repealing the mandatory requirements of Sections 204, 205 and 206 of Title II of the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966 and similar requirements i in all other Federal Acts which make mandatory a review by an Agency which is designated to perform metropo- litan or regional planning for an area as a pre - requisite for Federal loans and grants -in -aids to local agencies in constructing or providing vitally needed public works projects and local facilities.

A roll call vote was called for when the following Councilmen voted in the affirmative: Banks, Harrison, Keys, Carpenter, and Davenport. Negative votes: none. Absent and not. voting: Martin. Mayor Smith declared that Resolution No. 14 had oassed. i Letter read about certain problems - Mrs. Donald M. Kadel The following letter was read from Mrs. Donald M. Kadel: 1917 Washington Caldwell, Idaho July 17, 1967 N. E. Smith, Mayor City of Caldwell City Hall Caldwell, Idaho 83605 Dear Mayor Smith: I am writing to you and the city council about certain problems in Caldwell that appear to require attention. S. GRASS What has happened to the grass in our city parks and the cemetery? The present con- dition (brown and dry with bare spots) in a disgrace. If allowed to continue, it will also result in expense for reseeding. II. IRRIGATION DEBRIS A large irrigation ditch runs beside our property, entering a pipe at Washington Street. The ditch rider removes debris from a grill at that point and piles it beside the street. We have put this in our garbage cans several times, but cannot keep up with it. It is definitely a rat harborage possibility, frequently decays and in general appears to be a sanitation menace. One year the ditch rider hauled this away each day, after repeated insistence from people in the neighborhood, but last year and this year he has refused to do so. A container for this mess is the least that could be done. III. SWIMKING POOL Last week (July 10 through 16) was one of the hottest of the summer. On the hottest day of the year (Tuesday) no one was allowed to swim after six 0 clock in the evening, because there was a swim meet held at the "public" pool. The same thing happened on Saturday, the only difference being that no one was allowed in the pool until 4:15 P.M.. From my understanding of the regalatione sent out by the city recreation department, the swinmdng pool is reserved for the exclusive use of the swim team from 12 noon un- til 2 or 2;30 P.M. every day, with the possible exception of the week ends, in addition to these swim meets. I note that they now have one evening per week when families are allowed in the pool exclusively (no singles allowed) for ONE HOUR FROM 9 to 10 PM, a time when younger children of "families" should be in bed. It would seem families should receive at least as much consideration as the swim team. 301 I must protest vigorously the use of public tax moneys for maintenance of a private swim organisation (of no more than twenty youngsters) coached by what I understand are paid employees of the tax supported city recreation department. When reading the press notices of the swim meets I see that all the other swim teams in the state, with the exception of Parma, are teams sponsored by private, not public, organisations, such as country clubs and YMCA's. This seems more satisfact- ory. I am aware we have no such organization with a pool. Therefore, I would sug- gest that the swim team practice from 7 to 9 AM, before the pool is in general use and make arrangements for rental of a pool to meet their swim meet obligations or schedule them on Sunday mornings, so that a large public will not be denied use of tax - supported facilities. I further noted that the pool is closed for one to two hours at a time for lunch and dinner breaks. Since the pool is so crowded now it would appear that some split shift arrangement for pool personnel could be arranged so that the pool need not be closed and re- opened. I trust that this matter will be discussed by the city council. I will be glad to appear if necessary. If action, or at least discussion, does not take place I will attempt to have this matter brought before the public through the news media. Yours truly, Kra. Donald M. Kadel 1917 Washington Street Caldwell, Idaho Mayor Smith reportad to the Council that he had held a meeting this morning with the Swim Pool and Recreation man, the Recreation Committee member in charge of the swimming pool, and with Councilman Davenport on some of the problems and that most of the problems mentioned here in this letter were set up by reason of the way the Recreation Committee had set up the use of the pool, excepting for swim meets. He sai that there had been an unauthorised closing of the pool last Saturday afternoon and the Swim Pool Manager he been instructed in this regard but the Recreation Committee had set up a closure of the swimming pool from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. every day and he wondered if this was right although it had been done for a long time The balance of the complaint, as stated in the letter, seemed to be with the swim team and it was pointed ou that other cities sponsor swim teams with their swim pools reserved for meets. The swimming pool was suppos ad to be closed at 9.00 p.m. and family night was from 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., as well as special parties, and they paid specially for the privilege. In discussion, it was pointed out that the pool didn't open for public use until 2:00 p.m. The swim team practiced from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. with the mornings used for kindergarten classes, Red Cross instruction, recreation programs, etc. There had also been some classes from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mayor Smith stated that he had had some complaints of closing at 8:00 p.m. and of not having enough life guards on duty. Mr. Ward Stone of the Recreation Committee had been checking on this today, as well as Councilman Davenport, and there were things they were disturbed about and he thought that, next year the whole thing needed to be gone over and set up entirely different; the jobs be stipulated, salaries recit. ed, duties recited, etc., and just not leave these things to a temporary pool manager as it dust wasn't working. The use of the swim pool by the swim team and their schedule was discussed. Councilman Hanks ex- plained that a part of the problem with swim meets was in that teams didn't show up when they should, the meets didn't gat started exactly when they should, they took longer than they should, and so they didn't finish on schedule. After further discussion of the closure of the swim pool from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, it was moved by Councilman Carpenter, seconded by Councilman Harrison, that the swimming pool remain open constant- ly from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. A roll call vote was called for when the following Councilman voted it the affirmative; Banks, Harrison, Keys, Carpenter, and Davenport. Negative votes: none. Absent and not voting: Martin. Mayor Smith declared that the motion had carried. In discussing any problem with grass, the City Engineer stated that he hadn't checked at the 30Z cemetery recently but he supposed reference was made to the area at the tennis court construction and this was being irrigated back. Councilman Keys stated that the cemetery looked quite good excepting for some brown spots along the main road. The City Engineer stated he would check on the complaint concerning irrigation debris and upon the condition of the grass, and would report to Mayor Smith. Resolution No. 15 Councilman Keys sponsored the following Resolution and moved its passage: RESOLUTION N0. 15 BY COUNCILMAN KEYS A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO ISSUE AND SELL BONDS OF LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 6o OF THE CITY OF CALDWELL IN THE COUNTY OF CANYON, STATE OF IDAHO, AND INVITING AND RECEIVING BIDS THEREFOR.

She was still living in the house but the trailer house had been moved in and needed to be connected to the water, scorer, electricity, etc.; she said she didn't think she could stand living in a trailer court and her property had to be watched and cared for.
