Upon Roll Call, the following members of the Council answered present: Alta E. Williams, Alfred 1 McClu dcey, Charles C. Banks and Joe Gamboa. Absent: James R. Dakan and Lester E. Carter. EDA Application - discussion Mayor Carpenter stated that the meeting with Ron Hall of Ore-Idaho Economic District and Larry Osgood and Doyle Meekham of Alpha Engineers had been called to discuss the application for a grant through EDA. Mr. Hall discussed the changes and the workings of the EnA, and then pointed out some of the prob- l which could arise in the application for a grant. These problems were as follows: 1. EDA would want to know where the local matching monies were coming from. 2. It would be necessary to have a certificate from EPA regarding the sewage plant. 3. It would be necessary to know what right-of-way problems there would be with either the water of sewer. 4. It would have to be determined if the City was willing to take an option on the well site; and, if the grant were offered, would the City be willing in five days to take up that option. Councilman Gamboa asked Mr. Hall if he knew how mach money the City would get after all this :nrk had been done. Mr. Hall replied tht he did not know. He added that the applications were to be in Seattle by the 15th of September. Councilman Gamboa stated that many of these studies required the services of an engineer, and the engineer had to be paid by the City. Mr. Hall stated in many cases the engineering work was done as an investment that the grant would be received and the project completed. Councilman Gamboa stated that he felt the government should give assurance that the engineering bill would be paid. Councilman McCluskey asked if an option had to be made on the wall site. Mr. Hall replied that all EDA wanted to know was if the City would be wi lling to take an option. 59:1_ Councilman McCluskey asked if therewas anything more needed from Alpha Engineers. Mr. Hall replie that everything was done at this time. Councilman Gamboa asked what was wanted from the sewage plant. Mr. Hall replied that EDA would like to have a letter from EPA saying that any increase in sewage into the lines would be adequately handle in the existing treatment plant, and that no untreated affluents would be dumped into the waterways. Councilman Gamboa asked if the surface water table would go dorm when the well was put in. City Engineer Mel Lewis replied that it would not. In response to Mr. Lewis, the representatives of Alpha Engineers stated that they would contact EPA in regards to the letter regarding the increase of sewage. Councilman Hanks asked if there should be any action by the Council. Mr. Hall replied that the Council should say that they want the project and that they want to make an option on the land for a well. He added that EDA would also want to know where the matching funds were. Mayor Carpenter explained that the matching funds would come from the sale of the airport., and that at this time it was undetermined when the money would be in hand. Mr. Hall stated that the total project would be $360,000.00; the matching funds $180,000.00. The Mayor stated that if the City were able to sell the airport property under the present coimaittment, there would be approximately $500,000.00 and the City would need about $300,000.00 for a com- mittment with FAA. This then would leave the $180,000.00 in matching monies. The Mayor added that the appraisal price was approximately $476,000.00, and this might be the selling price rather than the $500,000, Mr. Hall stated that the EDA would probably go along with this provision of matching monies, but they would want to know the date of the sonsummation of the sale. Mayor Carpenter stated that if the ordinance statin€ the itent of the selling of the airport were passed, this would show EDA the intent of the Council. It was moved by Councilman McCluskey, seconded by Councilman Gamboa, that the Council be on recorc that they intend to use a portion of the monies from the sale of the airport property to match whatever funs are granted from EDA, and in the event this did not coincide with EU's grant, the City then budget their share for these funds; that they will option property necessary to secure a well site. Upon vote, the motion carried. Cemetery fees Mayor Carpenter stated that an ordinance was passed changing the cemetery fees. He added that Block 0 of the cemetery was the more desireabie area, and it was decided that the price of these lots be raised to $125.00. He stated that at the time the ordinance was drawn up, this increase had not bee listed as the plat had not been recorded and asked for an amendment to the ordinance. It was moved by Councilman Banks, seconded by Councilman McCluskey, to amend the present ordinance to include Block 0 at $125.00 per space. Upon vote, the motion carried. Caldwell rodeo A discussion followed regarding the Caldwell Night Fdodeo and Chuck Wagon N nner to which the pre- vious evening the Mayor had hosted officials from other cities and the County. It was well attended, and members of the Council reported that they had received favorable comments about the rodeo. There being no further business to come before the Council at this time, it was moved by Council- man Gamboa, seconded by Councilman Banks, to adjourn the meeting until Au at 20th, 1973.
