Report of hazzards at rock crusher considered - expenditure authorized
Mayor Smith announced that the first item of business to be discussed was from the Industrial
Safety Director and the following report was read:
i
Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Caldwell, Idaho
Dear Sirs:
During February and March of this year, Dave Brant, a safety inspector from the State
Insurance Fund, checked all of the City's plants, equipment and operations for haazard-
ous conditions that could injure employees.
The Safety Committee requested that I write this letter regards Ns. Brant's inspection
of the City Rock Crusher. Because of the nature of this operation it is necessary to
protect the operators of this machine. Note the photographs of some of the hazzards
acoompaning this letter.
We ask that you authorize the expenditure of from $300.00 to $500.00 so that walk ways
can be repaired, conveyors can be screened and guards can be built so as to make this
a safer operation.
I
Respectfully yours,
W. A. Paddock, Safety Director.
The accompanying pictures were examined and the record of injuries discussed in that instances of
accidents were not happening in this area although an employee was thought to have previously lost a finger.
The possibilities of injuries were discussed when Councilmen Banks stated that the Council had to do somethi
about it.
In answer to the question, the City Engineer advised the Council that the Street Department budget
Ives real close.
Mayor Smith stated that he personally thought, when talking of the safety of personnel operating
what was obviously a dangerous machine, that the budget becomes a little bit stretchable.
After some further discussion; it was moved by Councilman Banks, seconded by Councilman Harrison,
that we find the $500.00 and implement the recommendations that were needed at the rock crusher. A vote was
T taken and the motion carried.
Approval given to proceed with drawing of ordinance for locating trailer houses in designated area
Mayor Smith then asked for a report and recommendation from Councilman Harrison regarding a study
in process with regards to mobile home areas.
Councilman Harrison informed the Council that Councilman Keys was the liason representative with
the Zoning Board and had met with them so was probably more in a position to give a reportR however, some tim
i
ago they had began studying this, casting about for a way to permit mobile homes on private property in the
152
City. He said they had started working with the Western Director of the National Trailer Coach Association
and field representative from Portland by name of Bill Inthem; that there were other cities in Oregon and
Idaho interested in this and they had been working with him so he had quite a background of information in
this type of thing. Councilman Harrison continued by saying it was quite an ordinance going into minimum
sizes, minimum requirements for sanitation, minimum requirements for lighting, etc., and they had done some
work on a sample ordinance with the thought that, after approvel by the Zaning Board, they would then work it
out with the City Attorney. He said they felt there should be some sort of annual license fee and the
location of trailers should be limited to a certain area. With reference to a minimum size lot, Councilman
Harrison stated that he thought a minimum should be 50 feet by 100 feet with consideration given to the size
of trailer.
Councilman Bays stated that the real critical thing about this was the inability of private indus-
try to furnish housing in a low price range and in finding a use for some of the lots, particularly on the
north side where this could be done. He said that he thought it was the unanimous consent of the members of
the Zoning Board present at the meeting that this was basically a good sound ordinance to use and actually
it treated a mobile home very much like a residence in that it had to have a certain set back and a certain
sized lot so that it would conform to the building requirements as they now exist in the City. He added the
several years ago the Mobile Home Manufacturers Association got together and set up standards of all their
coaches from that time on as to minimum standard and this had been suggested for use rather than the City's
lbuilding codes.
In discussion, it appeared to be the thinking of the Council that there should be an annual license
fee although the procedure for doing so was not decided upon and would need to be worked out later,
Councilman Martin commented in that the requirement of an annual fee would bring the attention of a trailer
to the building official and cover the costs of inspection when Councilman Harrison stated that the proposal
would require a building permit and the same building permit charge was es' -ins conventional residence.
Councilman Keys stated that the recommendations of the Zoning Board, as he remembered, would de-
fine an area west of Fifth Street and from the Railroad tracts at Albany Street on to the Notus Canal but not
to include any area in Fire Zone One which consisted of about one -half block north of Albany. The Board'
thought`it should be determined as to how this would work before enlarging the area.
Mayor Smith commented in that the final decision on this was with the City Council; that he under-
stood tentative approval had been received from the Zoning Board and possibly now the time had come, if the
Councilmen were agreed and they concurred with the Zoning Board's thinking, that the Council should take some
action regarding this area as a start.
After some further discussion; it was moved by Councilman Harrison, seconded by Councilman Keys,
that this action be approved and the City Attorney be instructed to draw an ordinance with these provisions
in it and other provisions as stipulated by the Council or Zoning Board, working with the Committee or others
suggested by the Committee.
Before calling for the question, the City Attorney recommended to the Council that a determination
be made as to whether or not mobile homas parked in this manner and placed on lots in this manner, would be
taxed under the City levy as personal property in the County or as real property, in order to determine at
least in part, as to the extent of the licensing. There seemed to be agreement in that this should be done
before the Ordinance was passed. Councilman Davenport expressed an opinion in that the Ordinance should be
studied real closly before passage and it was also agreed that the ordinance should be read three times be-
fore passage. A vote was then taken and the motion carried.
Vacating sewer easement and utility & irrigation easement referred to
Mayor Smith then referred to a previous action of the Council concerning vacating a sewer easement
and the vacating of a utility and irrigation easement. The City Attorney advised that this was reqnired to
be done by ordinance and that he had two proposed ordinances prepared for this purpose.
The payment of publication costs was discussed when, with reference to Bill No. 33, Councilman
Martin stated that he would sponsor the Bill with the understanding that Mr. Rudolph pay the publication cost.
153
in accordance with the City's policy in this regard, Mr. Rudolph was present and was informed by Mayor
Smith of the City's policy in this instance.
Bill No. 33 - Ordinance No. 1180
Councilman Martin then introduced Bill No. 33, entitled:

James M. Lyke

The following resignation from Lynn R. Westcott was then read:
BOARD OF CONTROL

PIBASE EXCEPT MY RESIGNATION AS GOLF PROFESSIONAL AT THE FAIRVIEW GOLF COURSE NOVEMBER
30 1969,
I CERTAINLY HOPE NO HARD FEELINGS HAVE COME ABOUT DURING THE PERIOD I HAVE BEEN ON DUTY',
IF SO IIAM VERY SORRY.
YOURS TRDLEY,
LYNN R. WESTCOTT
Mayor Smith then informed the Council of a note from the City Clark wherein W. Westcott seemed to
be of the opinion that he should be paid for the month of January, however, he had not gone over this in
detail with the City Clerk. The Mayor stated that the agreement did not show that such a condition exists.
He said that Mr. Westcott would be turning over the keys the first of December and was paid on a twelve montk
basis; therefore, he would recommend that the resignation be accepted and the Council authorize payment of
salary to Mr. Weatoott through December 31, 1969 with any consideration of salary beyond that time to come
back for further consideration of the Council.
It was moved by Councilman Davenport, seconded by Counilman Martin, that the resignation of IBnn
be accepted and payment of salary authorized as recommended. A vote was taken and the motion
carried.
It was moved by Councilman Davenport, seconded by Councilman Banks, that the Mayor write a letter
of thanks to Lynn for the time he had spent in Caldwell and for the services he had rendered to the City. A
vote was taken and the motion carried.
Request to be made for reducing speed limit on Blaine and Cleveland
Mayor Smith then referred to the speed limit as set by the State Highway Department on Blaine and
Cleveland and said he thought they were to high because a driver is allowed four miles an hour over the post-
ed speed before he is issued a ticket or, in other words, he is allowed forty miles an hcur on Blaine and
Cleveland. He suggested that the speed limits between Tenth Street out as far as Georgia Street should be
reduced to thirty miles per hour and suggested that such a request be made to the State Highway Department.
It was moved by Councilman. Martin, seconded by ( buncilman Carpenter, that such a request be made
to the State Highway Department.
In discussion, Chief of Police Charles Astleford informed the Council that there had been a few
accidents at 20th and Blaine, 26th and Cleveland, wlst and Blaine, 21st and Cleveland, 12th at Cleveland and
Blaine but minimum otherwise. He said that, if there were no parking along Blaine and Cleveland, it might
be well to leave it at 35 mph.
Mayor Smith then referred to complaints about the traffic during rush hours at Fifth and Cleveland
and he inquired of the Chief of Police as to any possible control that would help solve this other than a
stop light which wasn't permitted by the State Highway Department. The Chief of Police stated that he would
have to look into this but that when Blaine Street went through in the spring, it would help the situation,
In his opinion.
A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion and the motion carried.

Caldwell, Idaho
Yz dear Mayor,
Nov. 1, 1969
Will you please convey my thanks and appreciation to the Chief and members of the
Caldwell Fire Dept. for their prompt response to our telephone call last nits.
155
Fq wife and I had just returned from the football game when Ron Blakely, a neighbor
called to say there was a fire on our lawn. I ran out and Audrey called the Fire Dept.
and they were on the scene within a few minutes. On further investigation we found that
a trail of gasoline had been laid from the north curb of Cleveland across the street, over
the parking and on to the lawn. Fortunately Mr. Blakely, another man and I were able to
stamp out the fire as the truck came up. They hosed the street down and made certain no
sparks were left. The Police Dept. were also on the ,job detouring traffic, etc.
Again, thank you.

Agreement on gas line crossing alley approved
City Engineer Mal Lewis informed the Council that The Caxton Printers, Ltd., had submitted a letter
156
to the Mayor and it had been referred to him. The letter read as follows:
Dear Mr. Mayor:
The Caxton Printers hereby requests the City of Caldwell's permission to run a 2 inch
pipe underground across the alley separating our main plant from the warehouse to the
South. The purpose of introducing gas to said warehouse is heating them to facilitate
winter operations.
The consideration of the City Council in this matter will be much appreciated.
Cordially yours,
By: Gordon Gipson
Mr. Lewis stated that Mr. Gipson had talked to him about this and he had told him that he would
to get permission of the City Council because it would be crossing the alley. He reminded the Council
the City had made a similar agreement with the College of Idaho and he would recommend a similar agree -
in this situation with a stipulation of liability as well as removal upon request and any other legal

Trailer houses in residential areas discussed with Mr. Don Tolley, (Board of Adjustment)
Mayor Smith then recognized Mr. Don Tolley who had entered the meeting and was representing the
Board of Adjustment in regards to the possible trailer ordinance.
Mayor Smith informed Mr. Tolley that he hadnvt received the minutes of their meeting but that a
verbal report had been made by the Council Committee and he informed Yr. Tolley of the action taken by the
Council.
Mr. Tolley said this was what they were hoping for and added that they had spent one afternoon
looking over some territory in the City and felt it was well presented for this type of zoning.
Mayor Smith told Mr. Tolley that he thought the Council would appreciate their looking at other
are for Similar action such as on the south aide that would not affect property values.
Mr. Tolley stated that their feeling on the Board of Adjustment was that this would raise property
values in the areas that they had considered for the moment and the Board would look at other areas as they
were enthused about this for the possibility of what they called economic housing in the City of Caldwell.
Building of Duplexes and Triplexes discussed
Mayor Smith then addressed Mr. Tolley and, from complaints received, he referred to problems regard
ing the construction of duplexes and triplexes in the Cinderella Park Subdivision with the objection coming 1
in that there were high priced private residences there and they didn't like to have a whole aeries of income
type properties in there. The Mayor referred to the fact that a permit could be obtained under the City
ordinances for a triplex or duplex one day and then another permit on the same day for another triplex or
it
duplex adjoining if desired. He then asked Mr. Talley if his Hoard had any recommendations.
Mr. Tolley said they had gone into this and that actually the Board, as a whole, objected to this
type of building and felt it was detrimental to a given individual residential area but, because of the way
the City ordinances have read, they had not been able to do anything about it without a complete revanping of
the ordinances. He said they were gratified for the Council having passed an ordinance in the past six weeks
or so and would have liked to have had it a little more Stringent for property protection but the Board
accepted it and felt that it was a fair ordinance because they realized primarily the need for housing in our
area. He added though that as the town develops, he thought the Board of Adjustment would have to recommend
further ordinances against triplexes in certain areas. With reference to the Citygs application for a 701
157
Planning grant which, when completed, would change the City's zoning ordinances; Mt. Tolley said he thought
the Board would agree that, in the interim, it would be pretty practicable for the ordinances to remain
pretty the same as now in this regard. With reference to Cinderella Park and, under the present
ordinances, he said he was sure the Hoard would have to approve construction of this type of housing, if
applied for.
Mr. Vern Rudolph addressed the Mayor and Council and said the thing that really amazed him was
hearing the discussion of trailer homes bringing up the valuation of property and then he heard the discussi
on duplexes and triplexes (he was only building duplexes in Cinderella park) and he couldn't understand how
good attraciive duplexes were going to bring property values down. He said that he thought the people in
Cinderella Park were getting a little overly excited and he would like for the Council to come out and look
at what he was building; that they were all with the Cinderella styling which was sort of his theme and were
of wood construction, and he was trying to make this an attractive area. Mr. Rudolph told the Council that
there just didn't seem to be a market for a $25,0006 or $26,000. home and this was why he wag building duplex
He also told the Council that he selected his renters carefully and they were all on a lease basis for a
minimum of six months with it being his option as to the renewal.
Some further discussion followed when Mayor Smith stated that this was being discussed in anticipa
tion of official objection from persons in the area. No further action was taken at this time.
Payment of wages authorized conditionally - Mr. Andrew Stephens
City Engineer Mel Lewis informed the Council as to the condition of Andy Stephens health (City Shot
Superintendent) who had had a heart conditior, in January and February of 1969, as well as some back trouble,
and in this he had used up all his vacation and sick leave time; then recently, in the middle of September,
he had sustained an injury at home on his knee which required a cartlidge operation - complications developer
and at the Mayor's suggestion, Mr. Stephens had been paid for November although he had not worked from the
11th on. Mr. Stephens had come back to work on the 20th of October and he had been paid for the amount of
time he worked. Mr. Lewis then asked the wishea of the Council concerning pay for the first 20 days of
October. He said Mr. Stephens difficulties would be living expenses for this month; that he had two insuram
which were the major medical coverage and loss of pay insurance under the Colonial Policy; and, that should
the City pay Mr. Stephens wages for the 20 days, Yr. Stephens would be willing to reinburse the City this
amount when he received payment on tyke insurance.
After discussing the circumstances and the City's policy, Mayor Smith said he would have to
recommend that, if Mr. Stephens were paid for the 20 days in October, that he reinburse the City from the
insurance; also, that he sign an authorization in writing authorizing the deduction to be made and this be
Piled with the City Clerk.
It was moved by Councilman Keys, seconded by Councilman Davenport, that Mr. Stephens be paid for
the 20 days on the conditions as recommended by the Mayor. A vote was taken and the motion carried.
