Councilman Vacancy IIpon question from Councilman Carter, Mayor Carpenter stated that he was considering another name to submit to fill the vacancy on the Council, and this would be done in the next few seeks. Legal opinion on sewer construction charge - Wayne Davis Wayne Davis stated that after doing research, his position on the proposed ordinance setting sewer construction charges had not been changed, and as stated in the previous meeting, he was in disagreement wit Mr. Schiller who had appeared at that time before the Council in behalf of the Snake River Builders. He added that he would welcome any suggestions from the builders. He then read the following from the Idaho I Code: The power to regulate and control Bawer and drains carried with it as a necessary incident authority to compel, regulate and control all indispensable, desirable or convenient con- nections, subject of course, to the observance of private property rights. Mr. Davie stated that there was no question but that the municipalities had the power to require that people connect to the sewer if the public health demanded it. He added that he thought the Council had the power to pass this ordinance, pointing out that most cities in Idaho had much the same type of ordinance Mr. kiwis stated that one draw back to the ordinance might be that payment was required for sewer service which might not be available at the time of payment, but the wording of the ordinance could be chazigi to correct this. Mr. Davis stated that it had been pointed out by Mr. Schiller that this ordinance sold be in can - aitutional violation of the law; but he could not find this so and read the following from the Idaho Code: A municipality may fix fee a, rents, charges and rates for making connections with and for use of sewers and drains outside the municipal limits as wall as within, and may by law have a lien upon the property therefore. Sever charges are usually established by ordi- naneee the validity of which is presumed. Sewer charges and fees are not time or special aeseemsente, but are in the nature of tolls or rents paid for services furnished or avail- able. mr. Davis stated that he had talked to Richard Rosenberry who also represented some of the builder , and that Mr. Rosenberry had said that he did not concur with Mr. Schiller. Mr. Davis informed the Council that Mr. Rosenberry had sent him a copy of Boise's ordinance, and if anyone on the Council would like a copy N would furnish one to them. Mr. Davis stated that there was no question in his mind but that the Council had the power as this would not be an assessment, but rather a charge for services. After a brief discussion, it was decided to have a meeting to finalize the proposed ordinance befo the next Council meeting, and if any builders wished to come, their suggestions would be welcomed. Bids for Malti -Plate Arch Mayor Carpenter than asked Mr. Iawia to present the bids for the corrugated metal pipe mniti -plate arch to be erected on Linden and Indian Creek at the end of Chicago Street.

Upon vote, the motion carried. 3.972 summer recreation program report - Charles Alvaro The Mayor then read the following summer recreational program for 1972 from Charles Alvaro, Be tional. Director: The participation in our summer recreational program for 1972 was outstanding. In almost all areas, the participation was up from last year. The one thing that was real noticeable this year in comparison to other years was the continued participation throughout the entire summer program. In years past, this has not been the case. In some areas we had butstanding instruction while in others the instruction was no so good. When the instruction was poor usually the participation was down. I know that this is not always the case but in most instances this will hold true. little league baseball again is our biggest area of participation. This summer we had thirty - three sponsored little leaps teams, ranging in ages from six years old to seventeen years old. All told we had about four hundred and seventy -five people taking part in this one area of our program. The breakdown for our baseball program looked like thisc PcnV League (ages 7 and 8) 8 teams Midget Minor (ages 9 and 10) 6 teams Midget American (ages 11 and 12) 5 teams Midget Mational (ages 11 and 12) 5 teams Babe Ruth (ages 13 and 14) 6 teams legion B (ages 15 and 17) 1 team Lassie (ages to - 15) 2 teams Continued participation in our Arts and Crafts and lancing and Dramatics classes was outstand- ing especially in the latter two areas. Instructors with backgrounds in these two areas are most important to ]seep the interest of the participants through the entire program. This has not bean the case over the last two or three years. This area of the program attracted between fifty and a hundred children per day. Our library reading program under the direction of Uley Uyematea has had tremendous partici- pation over the last two years. over four hundred youngsters took part in this years program. Cur Wednesday mo rning story hour in the city perk is beginning to catch on. Over two hundred youngsters between the ages nine through sixteen took part in our bowling program held at Caldwell Bowl and Talbot Lanes. This year for the first time, a ten cent fee was charged at Talbot Lanes and this didn't make any difference in the number of participants at Talbot Lanes. The proprietors at both of these places furnish everything free of coot to all people earol.led in our program. A deep appreciation goes out to these two fine alleys for making this all possible. This year our golf program was moved from Fairview to Purple Sage Golf Coursep To my surprise, we had about the same if not more people taking part. The reason the program was moved out to the Sage waa because the Sage bad more or better facilities to accommodate the learning situa- tion. About fifty -five youngsters took part in this phase of the program. In tennis, certain age groups attracted a large turn out. Ages ten and under started out with a tremendous turn out but then it fell off sharply. Our other age groups didn't get the numbers that we had anticipated. Certain things will have to be changed to make our tennis program grow. I think we have a tremendous program. Our city is growing and we're getting more youngsters into the program. But I also think we are not reaching all of the youngsters that we could reach. Maybe a survey should be taken in the near future to see what other activities that are not offered now that maybe we should have. This is something that I think we should think about now. Charles Alvaro Recreation Director latter - Darrel Deide Mayor Carpenter then read the following letter from Darrel Doids, Chairman of the Caldwell Recrea- tion Commission: 429 October 27, 1972 Mayor Charles Carpenter City Hall Caldwell, Idaho 83605 Dear Mayor Carpenters Enclosed is a copy of the minutes of the last recreation board meetings Please note that we have recommended Mr. Warren Strong for employment as winter program coordinator.

He added that the bond may or may not include the paving. After a discussion on the merits of sidewalks, Councilman McCluskey stated that he felt the Counet should abide with the subdivision ordinance and require that they be put in.

The Mayor stated that Mr. Parks said that they were interested in staying in Caldwell and would do their utmost to provide the necessary service. He added that he had stressed the need for public relations and what would be expected of Parks and Sons and also what part the City would play in keeping the program going.

Banks 600 East Ash Caldwell, Idaho 83605 Dear Chuck: In line with the thinking that Linden Street should permanently be improved from Indiana to Georgia if all of the curb and gutter is installed by the adjacent owners, I have enlisted quotations on a plant mix from likight Construction and Idaho Concrete. As I have outlined, the City would do the excavating and would place the gravel bass courses, 3- inches of asphalt and would then be placed over the base courses to complete the street. I have received the quotations, and they are as follows: Wright Construction Company $ 8.75 per ton Idaho Concrete Pipe Compar:y $10.25 per ton Approximately 1,000 tons will be required. Since this is an expenditure of approximately $9,000.00, 1 would enlist the direction of the Street Committee on how to proceed. All of the curb and gutter in the section of Linden is completed except that of the Elks. Councilman Carter has given the go ahead in so far as the Elks are concerned, and they intend to have A and J Construction put in the curb and as soon as the contractor is available to do it. In ta] with the plant mix suppliers, I understand that the asphalt for the mix would be available until around the first of December. Hopefully, we can get the excavating and the base courses in within the neat two weeks which would then leave another two weeks in November to be selected in accordance with the weather to complete the paving. When you have the opportunity, please contact me. Yours truly, Melvin G. lewia, P.E.
