there was no one, Mayor Cowles requested that the Planning and
Zoning Director give a brief history of this request.
Mrs. Robison explained that the City received a request from the
College of Idaho to vacate that part of South Ohio Avenue that
lies north of the alley in Block 4 of College Heights Addition, a
short portion of 23rd avenue shown on the College Heights Plat,
and also Hazel Street between South Ohio and South Michigan
Avenue. This area has already been temporarily closed and
partially blocked by the College and the College was now asking
the City to vacate the area. Mrs. Robison also informed the
Council that she did have a letter of request from the College,
petition to vacate signed by the College, site map, pictures
showing the area, and the notice that went to the paper as well
as a certified mailing list that went out to property owners
within 300 feet. A letter was also received from Bill. Buchta,
the Assistant Fire Chief, stating that the fire protection would
be adequte.

to present the City with a completed map of the water system.

were in the process of doing an upgrade of the utility schedule
for the College.

what action they would care to take at this time. Mrs_ Robison

conditioned upon retention of easement rights in both hazel and
Ohio. The City does have a six inch cast iron water line in
Hazel and a one inch copper line in Ohio.

(DISCUSSION ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT)
Councilman blinder stated that he would like to discuss the issue
of Economic Development. The City of Caldwell made a financial
commitment about two years ago to the Jobs for Caldwell Program.
Matching funds were raised through the sale of tickets on a
raffle. The funds were put in the pot and made available for
economic development purposes. Two people attended the
pre- council session to present to the Council an overview of a
project they have in mind. This was to hire a full time economic
development person which would be funded by the City as well. as
some other funding, sources. The Cit=y of Caldwell does have funds
in the budget for this purpose and Councilman s;i.i.nder said that he
would like to see the Council go on record allocating those
funds. tie also understood that perhaps some Revenue Sharing
could be allocated at the meeting on Thursday. It was his
request that the City Council go on record as being in favor of
this ,project and agreeing that funds will be provided to make the
project work.
Councilwoman Mallea commented that Jobs for Caldwell was this
year and she was the Chairman and worked on it with Ed McNelis.
The problem with going on record at this time was that there was
so many ambiguities involved. First: is the amount of money and
the length of time and whether or not it is a corporation. All
of us, especially those who were part of Jobs for Caldwell and
did raise the money, are very interested in the economic
development. I would hesitate until. things are clarified by the
attorneys and by the absolute conditions that prevail to make
such a general commitment.
Councilman Carter stated that he felt it was a good opportunity
for the whole community to start working together - the Chamber,
the businessmen,and the City. lie would be in favor of getting
this underway as soon as possible.
Councilman Raymond asked the Finance Director if some of the
money was withdrawn from the account. Mrs. Talley stated that
some of the Revenue Sharing was spent, but she did not remember
the exact amount.
Councilwoman Mallea further said that $25,000 was set aside from
Revenue Sharing in last year's budget for Economic Development.
Out of this, she and Mr. McNelis started the Jobs for Caldwell
and had the computer as a prize. At that time, $10,000 was raised
and of that, $3,000 has been expended.
Book 28
Page 146
Councilman Raymond said that what he was trying to clarify was if
additional money was spent this year out of that account, will
that lessen the dollars available in Revenue Sharing budget as
projected in the 1987-88 budget year. The Finance Director
stated that this was true. Councilman Raymond then explained
that whatever was done, the money has to come from the pool of
Revenue Sharing monies. Mrs. Talley stated that the money could
be spent this budget year, but it would decrease the amount
available next year.
Councilman winder said that he was asking the City Council to
approve the concept tonight and then let the Finance Committee
come to them with a recommendation as to how the Revenue Sharing
money should be allocated.
Council-man Raymond asked if a category could be added in Revenue
Sharing with the Public Hearing process on Thursday of economic
development. Mrs- Talley stated that they could add as many
projects as they want to as long as they are prioritized and
there is money available.
After more discussion it was MOVED by Winder that the City
Council approve the concept that was presented at the Pre-Council
meeting that the Council at the meeting on Thursday, the .loth of
September determine if the City can fund the project. SECONDED
by Straight.
Councilman Jarboe asked Councilman Winder if this motion passes
and the money allocated and etc., what kind of elaborations on
this proposal would he be looking for. Councilman Winder stated
that this would be up to the City Council to determine. It was
his s positive I hope that this becomes a posJ t move by the City of
Caldwell. If there wasn't results as hoped, somebody is going to
terminate it.
Councilman Jarboe said that he felt somewhat like Councilwoman
M M
allea in that there was some questions in terms as how the
organization would be formed, and etc. Councilman Winder again
stated that all he wanted at this time was approval of the
concept. Details would be worked out later. If the details
can't be resolved later to the satisfaction of the Council, the
Council will not appropriate the money.
Councilwoman Mallea stated that she felt they were approving a
concept that was unclear, poorly defined, and without any
specifics and intending to appropriate money. If the Council on
Thursday intends to appropriate money for economic development,
the concept can be worked out.
Councilman Raymond said that last year the Jobs for Caldwell was
a concept. The City put $25,000 into it with the hopes that it
would bloom; it did not. He was perfectly willing to put $25,000
into the Economic Development concept in hopes that it will
bloom.
Councilwoman Mallea stated that Economic Development was the
$25,000 and the project under that was Jobs for Caldwell. This
was one small project of the Economic Development and had to do
with the computer. It was to raise the matching money.
Councilwoman Mallea further said that she would vote to put money
in an Economic Development fund.
Councilman Winder again stated the motion: The City Council go
on record approving the concept of an Economic Development
Project which involves a fulltime person to go out and do the leg
work and that the funding he developed between now and the 10th
of September.
The Mayor asked for a vote an the motion.
