Mr. Lewis reported that there was six bids received: Starline Equipment Company of Boise, R.M. Machinery Company of Boise, Folger" E'quipntemt "'C.ompany of Boise, Schlofman Tractor and Implement Company of Boise, Cesco of Boise, and Arnold Machinery Company of Boise. Book 20 Page 369 The Mayor stated that historically the City of Caldwell has not required bid bonds on the purchase of equipment. However, this last week the City of Caldwell received a bulletin from the Association of Idaho Cities saying that this was required. The City Council decided at noon to not have the bid opening tonight and to notify all of these people who submitted bids that if they did not include a five percent bid bond with their bid, to have one in before the 18th of December when the bids would be opened. The Mayor further said that the City did not know who did or did not have the bid bonds included as the bids were not opened. This would not open the door for additional bids; these would be the only bids considered. Perhaps they have all included bid bonds, but if not they will be given the opportunity to do so before the bids were opened. The City Council felt that this was the fairest way to handle the bid process. The City Engineer stated that that they could request their 5:00 p.m. on December 18th. action by mail, the way they would handle it would be bids returned and then return it by All of them will be notified of this (RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LIBRARY BOARD NOMINEES) The Mayor stated that from a standpoint of clarification, the State Law was very specific about the Library and the Library Board.

The Library Board operates the Library and the only other participation by the City, other than voluntary, was to make a mill levy for the Library operation. The City was doing some bookkeeping for them and writing their payroll at their request. The Mayor then called on Councilwoman Williams to present the nominees for the Library Board. Councilwoman Williams informed the City Council that there was three proposed appointments. Coralle Weston's term does not expire until December 31, 1981, but she has taken a job with the P.E.O. and will be doing a great deal of traveling so has resigned. Her replacement as requested by the Board which she has accepted if confirmed, was Sylvia Hunt. Alice Ballantyne's term was not supposed to terminate until December 31, 1980, but through an error on the certificate it was stated as of December 31, 1979. She also travels a great deal with her husband and would like to be replaced. Elaine Carpenter was suggested by the Board and she was willing to serve if confirmed. Dr. Phil Eldredge, Chairman of the Board, has been requested by the Board for reappointment.

Rose, who resides at 5298 Marcliffe, Boise, Idaho. Mr. Dustin W. Rose has made application to the City Clerk for a beer and wine license for this place of business. All of the requirements of the State Code and the City Code have been met and there is nothing at this time to indicate that Mr. Rose is not of good moral character; therefore, I can find no reason why the proper city licenses should not be issued for this 7- Eleven Store to sell beer and wine that is not to be consumed. upon the premises. The license should be to Mr. Dustin W. Rose doing business as 7- Eleven Store. MOVED by Olesen, SECONDED by IIopper that permission be given for this new wine and beer license as requested by the 7- Eleven Store. Roll call vote.

The City also has for certain State funds of $21,876.00 and the Mayor also believed that there will be $24,000.00 plus, but without the $24,000.00 the City's obligation was $16,810.00 plus interest so that City was in excellent financial shape as far as the registered warrant was concerned. The Mayor further explained that the City has very few things left to do to complete the F.A.A. requirements.. for payment of this grant. There was three things holding it up now. The first was an opinion on the title from the City Attorney, the second was an acquisition of a different avigation easement from Mrs. Campbell than the City presently has which was less restrictive than the avigation the City now has, and the third was completion -- of a map by Alpha Engineers which they expected to have done by the end of this week.

MOTION CARRIED (REQUEST OF OWYHEE VILLAGE TO INCORPORATE) The Mayor stated that the next business on the Agenda was a request from the Owyhee Village to be on the Agenda to discuss incorporation. The Mayor informed the City Council that his secretary received a call that afternoon requesting that this item be delayed until the January 2, 1980, City Council Meeting so would not be discussed at this meeting. The Mayor asked if there was anyone in the audience who was here for that particular item and if they had any questions to ask at this time. One gentleman from the audience was recognized and stated that he was one of the landholders in the Owyhee Village. He stated that he understood that they were in the Caldwell Impact Area and would like to ask the City Council what their feelings were with regard to their request. The Mayor answered that as far as annexation was concerned it was not even under consideration. This does not mean that it would not be in the future. Boole 20 Page 372 Councilman Olesen felt that to respond to any questions as to what the feelings of the City Council were with regard to their incorporation would be inappropriate until a formal application was received. Councilman McClusleey said that he :felt those present had the right to know what the general feelings were of the City Council. I-Ie felt that it was illogical for them to try to incorporate. It would be sometime before their area would be considered for annexation so felt that they were in a. good position at this time. The Mayor further commented. that Caldwell could not at this time get to them for annexation even if they wanted to in the worst way because they were not contiguous and the City does not see them becoming contiguous in the near future. The City was having enough problems with the people who were contiguous to worry about those who were not at this time. Councilman Hopper further commented that in the Caldwell local paper it was stated that some City officials wanted annexation in that area. He wished to go on record as stating that he was contrary to that idea. Councilman McClusleey stated that most of the rest of the City Council would reflect the same feeling.

The Mayor answered that he did receive a call from Mr. Bevington saying that he was not the one that donated the astro turf, but suggested that perhaps :his son from Boise may have been the one and he would find out. Councilwoman Williams also said that she received a letter with regard to the City insurance and would turn it over to Donna so the front office would be aware of it. Councilman Olesen had no reports. Councilman McCluskey stated that he had a letter with the cost factors for appraisal of the City of Caldwell with regard to the Book 20 Page 374 private fire protection agency in Scottsdale. It was $3,000 to :5,000 for them to come up here, but he felt that with Nampa and Boise involved the individual city's cost would be less. He also reported to the City Council that he had a. lot of rather material available for any of the Council and the Fire Chief to look over. Councilwoman Bauman said that she attended the Library Board Meeting and the Library did receive the report on their audit and determined that the Librarian deserved a certificate of engineering after going through the winter with furnace problems and the summer with the sprinkler system. Councilman Hopper reported that there was an Airport Commission Meeting primarily for the purpose of the hangar lease that they recommended that the City Council approve. They also talked about the grants involving the Airport. Councilman Hopper also commented on how nice the Airport looked at this time particularly after the problem they had with the weeds out there.

The R.S.V.P people were still helping out and it was suggested by Councilman Hopper that perhaps some of these volunteer helpers could be used at the City IIa.11 with some of the routine work as they didn't seem to have enough. to do to keep them busy at the Recreation Department. The City Engineer announced that North Illinois would be closed the next day for repairs on the Notus Canal Bridge. There will be warning signs and a. detour up Marble Front Road.
