(BILL NO. 23 - ORDINANCE OF INTENT TO SELL PROPERTY AT 109 PAYNTER)
The Mayor read the following Bill. No. 23 by title only as
follows:
AN ORDINANCE GIVING NOTICE TO ALL CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF
CALDWELL, CANYON COUNTY, IDAHO, THAT THE MAYOR AND THE CITY
COUNCIL INTEND TO SELL THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBED REAL PROPERTY
OWNED BY THE CITY OF CALDWELL, CANYON COUNTY, IDAHO; AND
WHICH SAID PROPERTY IS SITUATED IN CANYON COUNTY, IDAHO;
THAT SAID SALE IS MADE UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE 50,
CHAPTER 14, IDAHO CODE; THAT SAID SALE OF SAID PROPERTY
SHALL BE AT A PUBLIC AUCTION AND SHALL BE SOLD TO THE
HIGHEST BIDDER AND THAT NO BID SHALL BE ACCEPTED FOR LESS
THAN THE APPRAISED VALUE; SAID PROPERTY BEING DESCRIBED AS
FOLLOWS, TO -WIT:
Lot 18, Block 121, STRAHORN ADDITION NO. 1, Caldwell,
Canyon County, Idaho, according to the REVISED MAP OF
CALDWELL, IDAHO, filed July 29, 1961, in Book 1 of Plats at
page 20, in the office of the Recorder of Canyon County,
Idaho; excepting therefrom the Westerly 10 feet for right of
way of Paynter Avenue,
Councilwoman Mallea said that as she remembered the discussion
previously, there was three possibilities for that property. One
was to sell the house off, one was to take the right of way and
sell the back part of the land, and the other was to sell it and
use the property whatever we could. Was this correct?
The City Engineer, Ron Redmond, stated that this was correct. As
he understood the City Council when this was discussed, it was
their intent to sell the house and property as a living unit.
Therefore, that was the way he was proceeding. The appraised
price prior to the City taking the right of way was about
$22,300. When it was appraised the first time, the appraised
value was about $19,000. When the City appraised just the ten
foot strip by itself and taking into consideration damages, it
was approximately $5,500. If you took these two in
consideration, the appraised value would be in the neighborhood
of the $22,000 minus the $5,000 to $6,000 so it would be
approximately $16,000. The City Council can now establish the
appraised price based on the two appraisals before the property
was advertised for sale.
Councilwoman Marcus asked if this would give enough land around
the house so it would be in compliance. Mr. Redmond answered
that it was a substandard lot. After taking away the right of

way, there was about 3,400 square feet left. Under a
Grandfather's Clause, there would be no problems, but if they
tear down the building and 'try to rebuild, there would be a
problem.
Mr. Redmond stated that one of the reasons it was thought best to
sell the house and property separately was because of the
substandard size of the lot. This would help the neighborhood
because there was a house on a very small lot. If the City sold
it as a non - buildable lot, it would almost have to go to an
adjacent property owner. Parking in that area was also a
problem.
The City Engineer further said that the Bill does not establish
the method of sale. This determination can be made later on.
The Bill was just to declare that the City had surplus property
for sale and plans to dispose of it.
It was then MOVED by Mallea, SECONDED by Cowles to suspend the
rule requiring that a Bill be read at three separate times and
that the Bill be read by title only for the one reading.
Councilman Raymond pointed out that he did not want the Council
to treat themselves any differently than they would a resident o:E
Caldwell. He would hope that the property would bring its.best
value no matter how it is disposed of.

Glen Koch he appointed as a voting member of the Stadium Board
and that Rolly Lincoln be appointed as a non - voting member of - the
Stadium Board. Mr. Lincoln was Chairman of the Fair Board.

Executive Session immediately following this Regular City Council
Meeting for the purpose of discussing personnel.
The Mayor stated that he would ask for a motion from the City

MOTION CARRIED
Councilman Norman reported that he attended the Stadium Board
Meeting last week. There was some discussion with regard to the
operation of the Complex. It was suggested and agreed to make a
study of the O'Connor Fieldhouse with regard to the engineering
prospects of putting in changes such as the sound system,
seating, and the floor.
Councilman Raymond reported on the 9 -1 -1 System. The system was
operational at this time, but there was some concerns among the
Ad Hoc Committee members. This Committee was appointed to serve
as an advisory body to the Commissioners to help 9 -1 -1 be
effective to the community. Their meetings have not borne much
fruit other than to leave in frustration and the decision to meet
at another time. Sheriff Anderson was unable to attend the last
meeting. Councilman Raymond further said that he had intended to
report to the Council at this time with regard to the Sheriff's
comments. As he did not attend the meeting, Councilman Raymond
stated that he called the Sheriff this morning and spent quite a
long time discussing the System. Another meeting was planned for
this coming Thursday.
The Sheriff maintained that the System was operational, but some
of the Committee did not agree as there had been some problems
with regard to calls getting through to the right agency. These
problems cannot be solved until the Sheriff is in attendance.
The Commissioners have agreed to everything that the Council
requested in the Agreement and have been most cooperative. The
Sheriff would not accept the Agreement that the Committee drafted
based on what the Council had discussed as a body. He made a
counter proposal which would have included some reimbursement by
the City and calling for central dispatch. As the Council was
aware, the City of Caldwell was not prepared to go to central
dispatch at this time. There was not: yet a representative from
law enforcement appointed to the Committee.
Councilman Raymond further said that he just wanted the Council
to be aware that the 9 -1 -1 was operational, but that there was
some problems to be worked out. He hoped to have a better report
after the meeting on Thursday.
Councilwoman Marcus stated that she attended the Library Board
Meeting with Councilwoman Mallea. They seemed to be in good
shape financially. It will be another month and a half before
their new terminal arrives. It was thought that they would agree
to spend an extra $255 because it will allow them a colored
monitor instead of the black and white. The Librarian reported
that the P.N.L.A. meeting was well worth attending. The Library
learned that the Boise Library will continue to be open on
Sundays so it will not interfere with Caldwell's hours. They
have been receiving bids on the glass for broken windows. It
will take some time as they have to get tempered glass. work was
progressing on a possible grant to repair the doors. Quite a few
applications have been received for Reference Librarian and there
was three in particular that the Librarian wanted to study
further.
