There being none, it was moved by Councilwoman Williams, seconded by Councilman McCluskey, to approve the minutes of both meetings. Upon vote, the motion carried. Introduction of Tim Waterman Mayor Carpenter then introduced Tim Waterman who had been selected as an outstanding student at Caldwell High School, and as a project for his government class would be spending time at City Hall to learn more about City government. Comments from Ken Winkleman The Mayor then recognized Ken Winkleman who stated that he had given a can of candy to Councilman McCluskey as President of the Council courtesy of the Caldwell High School. He added that this candy came in four assortments for $1.25 a can, and the high school was also selling calendars for $1.50, proceeds going into the fund for traveling to the Expo in Spokane the coming summer. Mr. Winkleman also stated that he had just come from a crime clinic which was being held at Kaley Center and would continue the next morning at 8 He urged anyone in the Council to attend if interested. Bicycle Program discussion Mayor Carpenter referred to the following statement from George Wolfe, a copy of which had been provided the Council members and the Chief of Police: My name is George V. Wolfe, and I live at 1109 Fast Ash Street, Caldwell. I am retired, having served from 1946 to 1970 as professor of political science at the College of Idaho. I am appearing today before the City Council of Caldwell to urge that the Council amend certain provisions of chapter 14 of the Caldwell Municipal Code dealing with bicycles. I became aware of the pressing need for these amendments, which I shall outline presently, when twice within the last year, driving at night in my car on the streets of Caldwell, I was hardly able to avoid accidents that might have been fatal to me and others in my car as well as to those riding the bicycles that all of a sudden confronted me. In each case I had to slam on the brake to avoid hitting a dark object that turned out to be a person riding a bicycle that had been Invisible to me since it had, in violation of section 11 -14 -18 of the Caldwell Municipal Code, neither a "white light visible for a distance of at least five hundred feet (500 to the front" nor a "red reflector on the rear of a type which shall be visible from all distances from fifty feet (50 to three hundred feet (300 to the rear when directly in front of lawful upper beams of headlamps on a motor vehicle." The shock these confrontations gave me made me look closer at the bicycles travelling on the roads of Caldwell, and I realized that nearly all bicycles travelling on - to use the works of the Municipal Code - "the public thoroughfares" of Caldwell violate relevant provisions of the Municipal Code. They have neither the requited lamp on the front, nor the red reflector on the rear, nor are they licensed by the Caldwell Police Department and have a license plate "firmly attached to the bicycle in such a position to be plainly visible:, as sections 11 -1h -h and 11 - -5 of the Municipal Code presecribe. In discussing these violations by those who ride bicycles on the streets of Caldwell with those responsible for enforcing the said provisions of the law, such as the Mayor and the Chief of the Caldwell Police, I was told that the sections of the Municipal Code I have cited are not enforced because they are unenforceable. The Chief of Police pointed out to me that were a police officer to give to a violator of the said sections of the Municipal code a traffic ticket summoning him to appear in court in nine cases out of ten the violator would not appear in court and could not be apprehended. Knowing that, since his bicycle had no license �4 E J J plate and had not been licensed, there was no way for the police to check his name_ana address; the violator would give to the officer writing the traffic ticket a false name and address,and as soon as he was out of sight of the police officer the violator would tear up the traffic ticket. The violation of the license provisions regarding bicycles makes it moreover impossible for the Caldwell Police to take appropriate action against the parent of any child and the guardian of any ward who has violated the sections of the Municipal Code I have cited, though section 11 -14 -1 clearly stated: "The partant of any child and the guardian of any ward shall not authorize or knowlingly permit any such child or ward to violate any of the provisions of this Chapter (pertaining to bicycles)." In order to make it possible for the Police Department to enforce the provisions of Chapter 14 of the Caldwell Municipal Code on bicycles I suggest that power be given to any officer of the Caldwell Police Department to ampound any bicycle " operated upon any public thorough- fare or public path set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles" 1. these the words used in section 11 -14 -1 of the Caldwell Municipal Code on the applicability of the regulations for bicycles 2 without a license plate being "firmly attached to the bicycle in such a position as to be plainly visible ". Such an empoundment provision would force any violator of the licensing provisions of the Code to heed a traffic ticket and appear in court or face the loss of the bicycle. I also strongly suggest that any person operating a bicycle upon a public thoroughfare or public path set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles be obliged to have passed a bicycle operator's test devised by the Caldwell Police Department pertaining to the relevant traffics regulations, or its equivalent. This seems necessary to assure traffic that every operator of a bicycle is familiar with the relevant traffic so as not to endanger himself and the other users of the public thoroughfares (bicycle paths.) in Caldwell. The passing of a bicycle operator's test seems expecially important for children who constitute the majority of those operating bicycles in Caldwell. Most of these children, not before very long, will be operating some motor vehicle. Therefore it seems appropriate to ingrain in them by such a test an early respect for, and the habit of obeying traffic regulations. Eithout wishing in any way to tresspass on the legal expertise of those who - should my proposals find favor with the Council - will be called upon to draft amendments to Chapter 14 of the Caldwell Municipal Code, I may be permitted to submit the following suggestions for amending that chapter in line with the proposals suggested in this report: 1. In section 11 -14 -2 there shall be inserted between the words ' "thoroughfare" and "unless" the words "or public path set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles" since according to section 11 -14 -1 all regulations pertaining to bicycles shall apply no less when they are operated upon such paths than when operated on public thoroughfares. 2. In section 11 -14 -2 a second paragraph shall be added that reads: "The Police Department shall be responsible for having any bicycle empounded that has not been licensed by the Department in accordance with section 11 -14 -5 or has no license plate attached to it in accordance with section 11- 14 -5." 3. In section 11 - -11 there shall be added a new paragraph (D) that reads: "A person shall not operate a bicycle upon g public thoroughfare of public path set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles without having passed a written test on traffic regulations devised for bicycle operators and administered by the Police Department or the equivalent of such a test administered by some other agency of government. Councilwoman Williams moved that the City Attorney amend the ordinance to include the above and it ready for the next meeting for first reading. Councilman McCluskey stated that he wanted to commend Dr. Wolfe for suggesting a logical method enforcing safety, adding that with so many bicycles it would be a great help in the recovery of stolen bicycles to have them licensed and would be a good thing to educate the yours in the traffic laws. Councilwoman Williams stated that she had learned from the Clerk of Twin Falls that the Fire Department did the licensing of the bicycles in that city. She then suggested that the place of licensing left blank in the ordinance as it had also been suggested that the licenses be issued at City Hall. Councilwoman Williams then withdrew her former motion and moved that the Council study the loca- of licensing and have the information ready by the meeting of December 3. The motion was seconded by cilman Gamboa. Upon vote, the motion carried. .e TV discussion Mayor Carpenter stated that he had had a call from the cable TV people who had wanted to know if 'e were any questions about the increase in price. He added that five of the cityies had approved the nance and more were considering it. There being no questions, the Mayor entertained a motion to suct the City Attorney to, an amendment to the existing ordinance which set the fees and change it to revised figures. It was so moved by Councilman Gamboa, seconded by Councilman Carter. Upon vote, the ion passed. 1 No. 22 - Ordinance No. 1311 ORDINANCE TO AMEND TITLE 6, CHAPTER 4, SECTION 4, OF THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF CALDWELL, COUNTY CF YON, STATE OF IDAHO, BY REPEALING SECTION 4 OF SAID TITLE 6, CHAPTER 4 OF THE CITY CODE, AND BY SUB- TUTING THEREFOR A NEW SECTION 4 AS HEREINAFTER SET FORTH. �4 637 which was read for the first time and the Council proceeded to consideratinn of Bill No. 22.

Appointment of Committee to Review Applicants for Recreation Director Mayor Carpenter stated that he had been asked to appoint a committee to review the applications fax the full time recreation director. He then named all members of the Council, Betty Ann Lodge, George Rosan- dick and Rick Kaufman to this committee. It was moved by Councilman Carter, seconced by Councilwoman Williar to appoint this committee as outlined. Upon vote, the motion passed. The Mayor stated that this committee would begin work after the 30th of November. Comments from Councilwoman Williams Councilwoman Williams stated that she felt that something should be done before budgeting in re- gards to obtaining a contract from Pioneer Irrigation District as it had been indicated that the price would be raised. In response to Councilman McCloskey for the City Attorney's opinion, Mr. Davis stated that he would recommend that the Council determine at the earliest time which legal firm would be representing the City for the next four years. He added that there were two big problems facing the city, the irrigation and the airport. He stated that the new attorney might have completely different views than his, and it would be better for the new attorney to have a say in this as he would have to follow through in the coming years. He added that the irrigation company had already told the Council of the raise in price, and the Council would have to decide if they would go along with it. Mayor Carpenter stated that Pioneer wouldcharge the same rate that was charged of the farmers, and that Pioneer could be called and asked to draw up a contract which the Council could either accept or reject and if rejected, the Council could then make a counter proposal. He added that a one year contract might be considered. Councilman Gamboa stated it it was his understanding that Pioneer wanted an offer from the City to see if they could live with it or work something out. Councilwoman Williams suggested that Pioneer be contacted the next morning asking them to prepare the contract for presentation within a week. Wayne Davis stated that there would be things that the City Engineer would want; that the contrcc could be amended and the price negotiated, but it would be difficult to put a deadline on the contract as the irrigation company would have to contact their attorney. He added that the irrigation problem was of tremendous magnitude as the City had gone 11 years on the old contract and the question would arrive if the City didn't want to contract any more irrigation water. Mr. Davis stated that Pioneer would have to come i and take over all the works and deliver the water as the City was in the boundaries of the Pioneer Irriga- tion District, and it was their responsibility to deliver the water. He added that under the present contract, the City was an agent of Pioneer Irrigation District. Councilman Gamboa recommended that the contract be for 1 year as there was proposed legislation regarding irrigation which, if passed by the Legislature, the City might be responsible for payments of services not received if under a five year contract. It was moved by Councilman McCloskey, seconded by Councilwoman Williams, that the City Engineer contact the Pioneer Irrigation District with what guarantees the City needed and negotiate with them for a contract as soon as possible. Upon vote, the motion carried. Resolution No. 27 Next presented for the consideration of the Council was Resolution No. 27, sponsored by Councilma: McGluskey., who moved its passage: RESOLUTION NO. 27 BY COUNCILMAN McCluske WHEREAS, The City Council of Caldwell, Idaho, met at Caldwell, Idaho, November 19, 1973, at 8:00 P.M. and discussed the possibility of a joint use of equipment, primarily construction or maintenance equip- ment, with 9ie City of Nampa; and WHEREAS, The Council has agreed that the joint use of equipment would be advantageous to both cities in savings of monies and the possible purchase of equipment that would not be logical for one entity to buy and maintain for their sole use; NOW THEREFORE, Be it resolved that the Caldwell Council recommends that the Mayor appoint a com- mittee to establish a method by which a joint use of men and equipment by Caldw 611 and Nampa may be advan- tageous to both cities.

Comments from Mel Lewis Mel Lewis stated that Logan Perry had left a description of lands to be vacated in the Rio Vista plat, which Mr. Perry said the Countil had already authorized for vacation and only needed his approval. He added that they wanted to vacate all of the plat including the lot and the street that is west of the old highway, block 7 and block 1; part of Ginger Lane had been vacated, and Gale Lane and Gwenn Lane which are short streets. He added that it was his recommendation that these be vacated as it was not a right of way. It was moved by Councilman Gamboa that this request not be granted because of Elizabeth Street. He explained that Elizabeth Street was dedicated as a whole and partially vacated, adding that Rio Vista acres which were dedicated should be vacated as a whole rather than a portion of it. Mr. Lewis recommended that the description be changed so that all of it would be vacated. He added that this was out of the city limits. Councilman Gamboa withdrew his first motion and then moved that this matter be tabled. The motion 4? 6i 3.3 was seconded by Councilman McCluskey. Upon vote, the motion carried. Payment on Class Suit on Cast Iron Pipe Mayor Carpenter informed the Council that some time ago through the City Attorney, the City had be• come a part of a class suit on the sale of cast iron pipe.

Mr. Dufar answered that Mr. Lehman had asked if he could talk to the Council and could not be denied. Councilman Gamboa stated that cases such as this should be checked into more thoroughly before being referred to members of the Council.
