IDCal Improvement District for Cinderella Park Subdivision area discussed As the first order of business, City Engineer Mel Iewis informed the Council in that he was look- ing toward the Local Improvement District for streets next year and he referred to the Cinderella Park Subdivision area which had been petitioned this last year and which didn't qualify because of to much land against the number of signers. He said the people want to petition again as they feel Mr. Vern Rudolph wouldn't protest this time, however, he and John Thomas had met with the School Board in September and had appraised them of the fact that their land was adjacent to Arlington, the connecting street on the east end of the two streets, and they didn't get any agreement or satisfaction from the School Board - the School Board had said they might consider it in 1970 but they were quite sure that they wouldn't and they had even discussed what this had to do with education. Mr. Lewis Shen said that, if the Council wanted to pursue this, he would try to be ready at what- ever time they chose to do so, to present in dollars, several alternatives -- one might be if the Council was going to give any consideration to subsidizing the east half of the street to the expense of the oiling the curb and gutter would have to be paid by someone and the most logical would be the people in that area and whether the cost of that was going to be distributed across the area on a front foot basis or how might be another - or, the other way would be to distribute the total cost across the area in some manner. In answer to the question, Mr. Lewis stated that he thought a School District was one entity you could not force into a District against its will. He said that, after the Council decided this, he thought Mr. Thomas would contact the people in the area. Discussion followed in that only half of the street might be oiled where it was affected by the School property or, to do all of the oiling and no curb on the east side, but this would leave a ragged edge 160 that would be difficult to maintain. It was moved by Councilman Martin that we look at it and come up with these alternatives on the basis of completing that section on Arlington, including curb and gutter on both sides, and then try to work out something on a proportionate sharing of the costs. The motion was seconded by Councilman Harrison. A vote was taken and the motion carried. Assessment Roll presented and approved - I.I.D. x/64 The City Engineer then presented the Assessment Roll for Local Improvement District No. 64 and said it had all been assessed as agreed in the information sheet prior to petitioning. He said they did agree with Mr. Hansen, since he owned all of the property on the end of Iowa, that his assessments would be divided the roll had been gone over with the Street Committee and had been approved by them. The totsl amount of the Assessment Roll was $47,2tt9.h3. It was moved by Councilman Banks, seconded by Councilman Davenport, that the Assessment Roll of Local Improvement District No. 64 be approved.

Land at Purple Sage Golf Course to be offered for lease Mayor Smith referred to the acreage at Purple Sage Golf Course which now wasn't going to be placed into a park area. He asked the Council if it would be their wish to lease it in that Mr. Andrew only wishes to lease it on a three year basis. He said the Golf Board of Control does not recommend the building of a Park and had recommended verbally that it be leased again to Mr. Andrew on the same terms. Councilman Davenport stated that the Golf Board of Control rather had in mind that 1 4 or 1 acre be held out for a tree nursery but they didn't know if Mr. Andrew would take a lease under those terms or not and do the irrigating, etc. It was moved then by Councilman Davenport that we offer to lease the land under the same terms to Mr. Andrew for another three years but request that k acre be held out for a tree nursery and the fee be re- duced or, a per acre basis accordingly. The motion was seconded by Councilmen Banks. A vote was taken and the motion carried. ' to offer property for sale at less than City's vested interest Mayor Smith presented the following report from the City Treasurer for their consideration: 11 -5 -69 Coley: The Boudreau property at 1213 Albany Street is being investigated again- -this time by Robert Scanlan. She has talked with Zoe Shaffer and Zoe has advised her the County has about $350.00 against this property and they have priority over the City. This is of no importance to us but we do have the following money in this property. local Improvement District No. 50 $451.70 Caldwell Municipal Irrigation Tolls 132.03 This makes a total of $583.73 and what Mrs. Scanlan wants to know is - -will the Council take less money than this. I have advised her this would be put on the agenda of business for the Council meeting of November 17th, 1969 and she will telephone me on the 18th of November for an answer. We surely must have at least that much more in time on this property. Every one seems interested in it- -but nobody buys it. Thanks. Alta 11 -5 -69 Mayor Smith stated that, frankly, he didn't think it was worth that much money and he recommended that the City take about $350.00 for it and try to sell it. After some discussion; it was moved by Councilmen Martin, seconded by Councilman Davenport, that the City offer to accept $350.00 for the property and release their interest. A vote was taken and the motion carried. Request to dig for bottles in Belmont dump denied - 11r. Bud Burch Mayor Smith informed the Council that Mr. Bud Burch from Nampa wanted permission for him and three other persons who have a small bottle club, to dig for bottles at the Belmont dump. He said that permission had previously been given to a Boise bottle club to dig there and they had left some holes - Mr. Burch said they would level it back when they were through including the holes that are now existing there. A discussion followed when it was suggested that a cash deposit might be required and also, the possibility of liability on the part of the City was discussed. `16? It was moved by Councilman Davenport that permission be granted, if they placed an indemnity bond in the amount of $1,000.00 with the City. The motion lost for want of a second. It was then moved by Councilman Davenport, seconded by Councilman Martin, that the request be denied. A vote was taken and the motion carried. Lease agreement on street property authorized - Del Woe. -man Mayor Smith referred to a strip of land designated on the Plat as Rodeo Avenue consisting of a little lass than ll� acres. He said the Chamber of Commerce had had a piece of industrial ground there and had used this street as access to it although the street hadn't ever been opened and they had since sold the land so there seemingly would be no reason now to open this street; that Mr. Del Woerman had contacted him i that he wanted to lease the street property and, in fact, would like to buy it. The Mayor said the street had gone to weeds and he thought it best to consider leasing it rather than selling at this time. He said he thought Mr. Woerman would want to gravel the area and place equipment on It. It was moved by Councilman Martin, seconded by Councilman Banks, that we entertain a lease with Mr. Dal Warman on an annual basis at a lease fee of $100.00. In discussion, the Council appeared to agree that the amount of the lease could be arbritrated in the event it was necessary and also, that there should be no automatic renewal clause in the lease. A vote i was then taken and the motion carried. Tatter read from Flight Service, Inc, The following letter was read from Flight Service, Inc.: Nov. 5, 1969 Mayor N. E.

Contract to be offered to Golf Professional - Ken Haines Councilman Davenport referred to the present contract agreement and its renewal provisions with Golf Professional Ken Haines. Mayor Smith stated that he had received no written report from the Golf Hoard of Control which was probably due to the recent illness of Chairman of the Board, Jim Iyke. Councilman Davenport then reported that the Golf Board of Control, after reviewing what had happened at the Fairview C- if Course since the opening of the Purple Sage Golf Course in the difficulties of maintaining a Professional at Fairview and due to the amount of insufficient traffic and the selling of merchandise, had decided that the City should revert to the original status of placing one Professional over both golf courses and then providing that the Professional employed be responsible for hiring a Professional for the Fairview Golf Course. He said they had recommended that Ken Haines be paid the combined amount paid to the two Professionals this year and said that Mr. Haines had been present at their meeting and was wil ling to do this possibly with the one exception in that the Board had voted to demand that a Professional be hire for the Fairview Golf Course. Councilman Davenport reported that there aren't many good Professionals avail- able and that, in his opinion, they probably wouldn't get any unless it was a young person that was just starting out, or, an elderly man who was probably looking for a place to retire. Councilman Davenport stated further that he personally felt this was the move to make because with two Professionals competing against one another, there were actually two distinct and separate competing golf courses when they should be operated as one unit; that he had discussed this with Ken Haines and that he had agreed in the possibilities of better utalisation of both golf courses. It was then moved by Councilman Davenport that we offer Ken Haines this proposal at a compensation of $9,400.00 annually with an additional $200.00 per year from the Recreation budget and otherwise, under the same conditions as in the present contract agreement. The motion was seconded by Councilman Martin. In discussion, it appeared to be the opinion of the Councilmen present that should a proper Professional not be available for the Fairview Golf Course, some arbitration might be necessary but that the contract agreement be drawn requiring the services of a Professional. A vote was then taken and the motion I Icarried. It was moved by Councilman Banks, seconded by Councilman Davenport, that the meeting adjourn. A vote was taken and the motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 P. M. w�7
