Upon Roll Call, the following Councilmen answered present: Charles C. Banks, William S. Harrison, tee W. "Bill" Keye, Charles W. Carpenter, and C. A. 'Chet" Davenport. Absent: U. day Martin. ith in family of Councilman Martin reported Mayor Smith informed the Council that Councilman Martin was absent due to the death of his brother - law and he was in California. ioussion with Chamber of Commerce Roads & Streets Committee representatives W. Emile Shorb, Chairman of the Roads & Streets Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, along with Ralph Smeed, a member of the Committee, were present and were recognized at this time. Mr. Shorb informed the Council of the practice of their Committee, over the past couple of years, in sparing a list of priorities in what they would like to achieve in the way of roads and streets in the areal stated that although it wasn't at the top of the list in priority, they were particularly interested in cussing Item 5 which was the extension of 21st Avenue through to Highway 80 -20, including curb and gutter m Blaine Street. He said the purpose would be for access to the Freeway from the College area; that the party where right -of -ray would be needed was owned by one person and they understood that improvements were ng contemplated in the near future so now would probably be the time to discuss this matter with the owner.J said that although they would like to ask the consideration of the Council in all sixteen of the prioritios�� although the Blaine Street couplet on through to Kven was the top project in priority, they would like nod' 535 to get the thinking of the Council on Item 5 of their list. Mayor Smith informed the representatives of the Chamber Committee that the City was relying on the Chamber for obtaining the necessary deeds for right -cf -way for improving Paynter Avenue from Aven to Evan's Fish Fly in the City's 1969 program. The Mayor also stated that the owner of the property involved in the extension of 21st Avenue, Mr. DeBenedetti, had been in Caldwell and that he had talked with him for about an hour; that Mr. De Benedetti was most anxious to cooperate with the City but he did not wish to talk about coming straight through the property due to a planned extension of the feed lots but would like to discuss with the City a right -of -way along the property line by Dawson Lumber Company. He said that this would mean a fog in the extension of 21st Avenue. Mr. DeBenedetti had also mentioned a reservation in that the street they now drive cattle over would have to remain open. The Mayor also pointed out a drainage problem that would need consideration in the project but said that Mr. De Benedetti was very cooperative and he felt something could be worked out; however, they were talking about a lot of money in getting the street through and particularly if they added curb and gutter. Mayor Smith also referred to the extension of Blaine Street which they had hoped to get started in the fall of 1969. He mentioned the City's offer of $40,000.00 towards the cost of the project and said the State urban Engineer and District Engineer had been here and they had had a lot of discussion about this pro ject, that the project was going to require a lot of planning and right -of -way acquisition on Avon and they had come to the conclusion that although there would be a lot of work done in 1969 from the standpoint of on sight appraisals, engineering, etc., the project wouldn't actually get anything done on it until 1970 and should be completed in 1970 as a part of a total $350,000.00 project which would include the improvement of Avon Street clear to the J. B. Simplot Company. He said that this would probably be one State project and the City's pledge probably wouldn't be budgeted until 1970 and that as a result of this, the City should get (some of these other things done next year such as Paynter Avenue and in getting the street department equip- Jmsnt into good shape. Mr. weed stated that be thought the support of the City meant a great deal in getting some of the projects and referred to the project for a traffic separator at 10th & Karcher which would probably be a State project. He said that, if the City supported the project, he thought the State would be a little quicker in making the surveys, etc. It was pointed out that the extension of 21st Avenue would not be a State project and W. Smeed said he would do some checking with the City Engineering department as to the possible routing of the extension. After some further discussion, Mr. herb and Mr. Smeed thanked the Council for their consideratic and excused themselves from the meetia:g. Equipment for Treasurer's office discussed Mayor Smith informed the Council that the City Treasurer had obtained some prices from Monroe and Merchant for updating some equipment in her office as, for instance, the calculator ( Merchant) was now 17 years old. He said the Monroe quoted matched a machine now in her office and she had enough money in her budget for a manually operated wide carriage Monroe Model 132 -V21 which, after trade -in, would cost $392.50. He said there were quotes on electrical carriage operated machines but they were $770.00 and Marchant had a manually operated set -up with $755.00 difference on one and $531.00 on the other one, so it would seem that probably they should accept the bid of Monroe on the manually operated machine quoted at $392.50 difference. Councilman Harrison questioned the effeciency of purchasing a manually operated machine. It was thought that the machine quoted was electric with a manual carriage and Mayor Smith stated that it would re- place the machine now being used and it had been most satisfactory. After some further discussion, it was agreed that the matter be re- considered at the next meeting. City Code changes requested - parking meters Mayor Smith presented a request for certain City Code changes from the Chief of Police due to the changes being made for the Golden Circle parking Meter program. The Code changes would change the denomina- tion of coins and parking periods as well as a re- wording regarding violations. The requested changes were read and in discussing the portions of 11 -13 -9 regarding the issuance a 536 complaints against all persons vino didn't report and make payment within 24 hours, the Council thought this should be changed to read within 48 hours. It was moved by Councilman Davenport, seconded by Councilman Carpenter, that with the change from 24 to 48 hours, an ordinance be prepared for amending the City Code on parking meters. A vote was taken and the motion carried. The request was then referred to the City Attorney. Claim - Pearl Hardeastle A claim for expense in rodding out a sewer was presented from Pearl Hardcastle residing at 1023 Belmont Street. The claim was read as follows: Nov. lst, 1968 Expense rodding out sewer. Water from sewer backed up into my basement, examination by Roto- Rooter service showed that the damage was not in sly sewer line but in the sewer line of the city located in the alley. Attached is sta +.ement of the expense for this service of the Roto Rooter Service for cleaning this city sewer. 18.50 It was noted that the statement referred to by the claimant was not attached when the claim was received. It was moved by Councilman Banks, seconded by Coun dlman Harrison, that the claim of Pearl Hardcast be denied by the City and forwarded to the City's Insurance Carrier. A vote was taken and the motion carried Sanitation Officer appointed and confirmed Mayor Smith then appointed IT. H. C. West as the Sanitation Officer for the City and requested the approval of the appointment by the Council. It was moved by Councilman Harrison, seconded by Councilman Banks, that the appointment of Mr. H. C Qaast as the City Sanitation officer be confirmed. A vote was taken and the motion carried. Salaries for Golf Professionals, 1969, to be increased Councilman Davenport presented the matter of salaries for the Golf Professionals and stated that it had been evident for some time, in view of the fact that the Golf professional at the Fairview Golf Course didntt sell much merchandise, that he couldn't exist on the amount of money the City was paying him. The recommendations from the Golf Board of Control were referred to: Caldwell, Idaho 83605 October 15, 1966 The Honorable Mayor Coley Smith Caldwell, Idaho Honorable Mayor: The Board of Control met recently and we wish to make the following recommendations for basic salaries for golf professionals at Purple Sage and Fairview Golf Courses. We recommend the basic salaries for both Courses to be $3600 per year. We also recommend that the professional at the Fairview Golf Course receive $1200 per year extra for develop- ing and handling the Youth and Recreation Program during the entire year. We feel that the above salaries, with the addition to Fairview Course, would be adequate for both professionals. /s/ James M Lyka Chairman Board of Control Councilman Davenport also informed the Council that the Proffesional Golf Association places a minimum salary for which a Professional can function at $3,600.00 a year. He said that the addition of $1200.00 to the Pro at the Fairview Golf Course would be for additional and extra effort in behalf of the youth and other interested people as beginners in golf; that this would be in conjunction with the recreation program and the Professional would not be paid the amount of $200.00 from the recreation department as in the past. He said that the Pro had done a real fine job and he would recommend that the City accept the recom- nendations of the Golf Board of Control. It wee moved by Councilman Davenport, seconded by Councilman Carpenter, that the City accept the mmendations of the Golf Hoard of Control in increasing the salaries of each Golf Professional to $3,600.0 year with the additional amount of $1,200.00 per year for the Professional at the Fairview Golf Course, that the agreements be so amended. A vote was taken and the motion carried. The City Attorney was then rutted to prepare the proper amendments to the existing agreements. J 537 ) I ;Bill No. 24 - ordinance No. 1143 Councilman Harrison introduced Bill No. 24, entitled: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 7 -3 -2 OF CHAPTER 3, TITLE VII OF THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF CALDWELL PROVID- ING THAT THE SANITARY INSPECTOR SHALL BE UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL RATHER THAN THE CHIEF OF POLICE, AND PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF ALL ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTION, OR PARTS THEREOF, IN CONFLICT WITH THIS ORDINANCE, AND PROVIDING FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THIS ORDINANCE AND ITS TAKING EFFECT, which was read for the first time and the Council proceeded to consideration of Bill No. 24.

The Mayor directed the Clark to call the roll on the above motion with the following result: Those voting in the affirmative were: Banks, Harrison, Keys, Carpenter, and Davenport.

Fee for CATV Committee approved Mayor Smith informed the Council that it had become necessary for the hiring of a consultant and for the deferring of other expenses for the Treasure Valley CATV Committee until such time as the grantee was chosen and certain monies paid as prescribed by the contract or ordinance, that an assessment had been { proposed for each of the fourteen cities now involved on a share basis of 1¢ par capita making the cost for I the City of Caldwell an amount of $126.98. He said that these were expenses that the City would be ineurria if they were doing this alone; that they were reasonable and would be coming back in the way of initial pay- ment franchise expense money, etc., once it was granted, so it was actually an investment. It was moved by Councilman Banks, seconded by Councilman Davenport, that this amount be paid to the CATV Committee. A vote was taken and the motion carried. r Mayor Smith then explained to the Council that the Committco now planned that the successful grantee or negotiator would be required to make an initial payment of $5,000.00 deposit of which $2,000.00 would go to the Association of Idaho Cities to defray expenses to that point and for other expenses that would be incurred since the A.I.C. would be a continueing supervisory body, and $3,000.00 would go into the CATV Committee fund and would further defray expenses of the consultants, etc.; with any money left from this fund to be prorated back to each City on a per capita basis. He said there would probably be about two more meetings of the Committee when the contracts and enabling ordinance would be completed; then he thought there would be a period of at least thirty days during which time the Committee would be entertaining pro- posals and during which time the contracts and ordinance would be brought back to each City Council for study and approval. He pointed out that each CounciLman had a copy of everything as now developed - he askei that they read them and, if they had any ideas for correction, to lot him know within a week. Application to be made for 701 money - Comprehensive Plan. The following letter was read from the Planning Commission for the consideration of the Councils October 28, 1968 TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL; The following actions were taken by the Planning Commission at their regular meeting October 28, 1968: Dr. IaMar Bollinger moved that the Planning Commissior, recommend to the Mayor and Council to provide for the funding of initial stages of a comprehensive plan for the future development of the City of Caldwell, Idaho. Seconded by John Turner. Unanimously passed. A motion was made by John Turner that the Planning Commission recommend to the Mayor and Council to proceed with negotiatiations with Idaho Meat Packers for the right -of -way to connect North Twenty -first Avenue and Chicago Street with Franklin Road near the inter- change with Interstate 80. Saeonded by Byrle Morse. Carried unanimously. 538 Pete Olesen Planning Smmission Chairman The second recommendation having been previously discussed in this meeting by the Council; Mayor r Smith referred to the first recommendation of the Planning Commission and by use of the City map, frith refer -i once to a request from Edmarks and his discussion with the City Engineer, he outlined on the map a problem area for the City in providing sewers. He said they had discussed getting a water and seem study, more specifically sewer study, to see how the City could beat fit this entire area into the present sewer system, that he had talked to a local firm and a complete study would be about $11,800.80 with city crews doing about $1,200.00. In addition to this area, the Mayor referred to the old drainage problem on the north side of the City and which, he said, involved quite a lot of money; also, they were going to have to do something about it as this was rapidly depleting the capabilities of the treatment processing plant. The Mayor then explained that the City would have to have a Comprehensive Plan to obtain any match- ing funds for water purification and sewer development under the present Federal program and this was the same plan that was preliminary to Urban Renewal; that from what he had heard, a Comprehensive Plan for Caldwell would coat around $30,000.00 and this would have to become a part of the over -all County plan. He pointed ou that the planning for the one specific area he had referred to would cost about 113 of the cost for a I Comprehensive Plan and further stated that he didn't know how much longer the City could reasonably try to stall the problem of the high water table on the north side of the City. Be pointed out that a Comprehensive Flan would provide very valuable information to the City and he thought it would be more sensible for the h , City to pay $10,000.00 or $11,000.00 for their part of the cost for a Comprehensive Plan than to pay $12,000.00 for dust a sewer study. This would require getting the proper forms from Mr. Ray Holly, the Title III coordinator for the Association of Idaho Cities office, and making application for the Comprehensive Plan.l After some further discussion) it was moved by 0ouncilman Banks, seconded by Councilman Keys, that the City put the wheels in motion for 701 money for a Comprehensive Plan for Caldwell. A vote was taken and the motion carried.

He said they were getting bids on a building and wanted city water; that to get city water they would have to come into the City, but, they wanted to know what it was going to cost them. He said he bad made an estimate for the cost of materials and a fire hydrant which was $800.00 without cost for excavation and labor; however, the City would need to get a carrier pipe under the railroad and, althoug) he didn't know what this would cost, he had put in $500.00 as an estimate. He also pointed out a factor dealing with planning in that the City couldn't reach any of this area with a gravity sewer line because of elevation. Tne water line would be 8" along Aven and then 6" along Roedel. Items were discussed such as the cost of digging a well, sprinkling the building, increased taxes, and a decrease in fire insurance rates, as well as the type of building to be constructed in relation to the City Codes; the problems for the City in annexing portions or all of this area, the problems of tiling a drain ditch as well as other drainage problems, and the amount of time required for obtaining permission for a carrier pipe under the railroad.
