Upon Roll Call, the following Councilmen answered presents E. L. Vassar, Emile Shorb, Max Luby,

Fire Insurance schedule approved --
Acting Mayor Vassar recognised Mr. Bernie Holden who addressed the Mayor and Council and stated
that he wanted to review for the Council, the matter of fire insurance which comes due annually on January
first, each year. He stated that the present schedule had called for the writing of $229,000.00 in coverage
expiring annually, with a total of $1,140,000.00 over the whole schedule] that with the elimination of the
old Armory building and the addition of several other buildings, one including the golf course building, and
the addition of the machine shop, the present schedule would call for the writing of $235,000.00 annually,
which was an increase of $6,000.00 a year. He further stated that they had gone in with a new method of
i J
rating and had come up with a reduction in rate which, on the present basis of writing this new amount of
$235,000.00, would save the City annually approximately $232.00 over the old amount and that this included
a rate for vandalism and malicious mischief on all the buildings and contents where heretofore, they had
carried vandalism insurance only on the sewage disposal plant and its equipment. He stated that the matter o
adding vandalism over the whole schedule was a matter of if the Council approved this and the difference in
carrying vandaliam over the whole schedule as opposed to writing vandalism coverage only on the City's
sewage disposal plant, was a cost of approximately $50.00 a year over what it was on the sewage disposal
plant. He stated that they recommended it, they thought it was a good addition, especially with the lowering
of the rates, and one that the City could well afford; that he might also say that, under this new program of
fire insurance rating, they would be allowed to reduce the rates applying to the other portions of insurance
that were not expiring this year and that this would result in an approximate return premium of $608.00; that
of this $608.00, it would cost approximately $108.00 to prorate the required additional $6,000.00 a year in
the present schedule so that the net returned premium to the City, on all of the fire insurance, would amount
to approximately $500.00 with the reduction in rates that are available; that the annual premium heretofore,
o $229.000.00 insurance, had been approximately $2,350.00 and that the annual premium to renew this
$235000.00 would be approximately $2,117.00 which was a reduction, as he had said of $232.00 a year in the
annual cost. He then stated that he would like the approval of the Council for adding vandalism insurance
to the whole schedule and for the additional amount of insurance to bring the schedule up to $235,000.00,
ich was the basis of values as they presently seemed to be on the schedule.
Councilman L stated that they could loose a lot more than the cost of carrying vandalism
insurance, in a very short time, and moved that the vandalism insurance be extended over the entire schedule
of insurance and that the additional amount of insurance be approved to bring the schedule up to $235,000.00.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Davenport and a roll call vote called for. Those Councilmen voting in
the affirmative wares Luby, Davenport, Martin, and Smith. Councilman Shorb passed with the statement that
would not be on the Council when this was effective although he did approve of it. There were no negative
otes and no Councilmen were absent. Acting Mayor Vassar declared that the motion had passed.
Mr. Holden thanked the Council and said that he would think it would be wise if the appraisal
chedule were looked at again in the coming year and that with the added saving they were able to return to
e City, it would more than pay for the cost of bringing the schedule up to date in 1964.
quest for reduction in water rate - outside city
Acting Mayor Vassar stated that he had had a request from Mr. Archie Fbgate who lives outside the
ty limits and had been using City water for about 30 years, for a reduction of his water rate in accordance
th his old agreement which was an additional 15 cents each month over the charge made to residences within
he City. At the present time his rate, outside the City limits, was double the rate of those within the
ity limits.
The request was briefly discussed by the Council with an expression made to possibly increase Mr.
ate's present rate with no consideration being expressed for reducing the rate. Acting Mayor Vassar
ated that he would inform Mr. Fugate of the Council's expressions concerning the request.
quest for City water, annexation discussed
Acting Mayor Vassar informed the Council that Mr. J. M. Anderson had contacted him and was not very
ch pleased with the kind of treatment he was getting from the City and he explained that Mr. Anderson had
irst offered to give the City the necessary thirty feat right -of -way for a street at the and of Hlllorest
venue and had agreed to annexation of his property in order to obtain City water services; however, he had
ince changed his thinking, apparently, due to the City not having the full street right -of -way the rest of
he way in and had said that he would give his part of the right -of -way when everybody also did.
City Engineer Mal Lewis explained that the City has a 30 foot right -of -way there due to the Hillcri
at which would be the South half of a normal road and explained his conversation with Mr. Anderson as well
e Mr. Anderson's feeling that he now wants to come in to the City without giving any right -of -way and he doi
ant City water service which was fine if the Council agreed to do so but that he had told him that he was n,
116
going to argue with him about it about the water and that if he had any requests to make in this regard, the
he should make them with the Council.
Councilman Why stated that in his conversation with Mr. Anderson, that there were several homes
along there that hadn't given thirty feet right -of -way and he felt that he was being imposed on when these
people hadn't given right -cf -way and he was being asked to give right -of -way.
The matter was discussed briefly with no action being taken at this tine.
Bartender Permit renewals to be issued without presentation to the Council
Acting Mayor Vassar then stated that there were quite a number of renewal applications for Bartend
Permits on hand and that the City Clerk would like to get the thinking of the Council as to their processing
The City Clerk then explained the amount of time involved in processing the applications through
his office, in the issueing of receipts of fees prior to their being presented to the Council, the time in-
volved at the Council meetings in consideration of such applications, the issueing of Permits following theL
approval by the Council, receipting the fees for turning over to the Treasurer for deposit, mailing of the
Permits and the time necessary for entering the approval of applications into the minutes of the Council
meetings. With the approval of the Council, he suggested that Permits be issued for renewals by hie office
upon receipt of the application, providing the applications had received prior approval of the Chief of
Police; without being presented to the Council for their approval and that any applications for Bartender
Permits which were not renewal Permits be processed through the Council as had been done in the past.
It was moved by Councilman Luby, seconded by Councilman Shorb that all applications for renewal of
Bartender Permits be processed in the Clerk's office without formal approval of the Council providing they
were approved for renewal by the Police Department. A vote was taken and the motion unanimously carried.
Letter regarding water- safety course for life guards, etc.
Acting Mayor Vassar read the following letters
FOR IMMECIATS HELMS December 9, 1963
A water - safety course for life guards, swimming instructors, and pool managers will be
offered by the Boise YMGA December 30th and 31st, 1963. The course will be taught by Champ
P. Lake, Physical Director of the Boise INCA.
The course will be open to all individuals who have passed either Red Cross or YMOA
life - saving courses. It will cover the latest methods of water safety, methods of teaching
ans swimming pool management.
Subjects covered will include the teaching of beginners and intermediate&, stroke per-
fection, a synopsis of coaching competitive swimming, newest techniques in water rescue and
artificial respiration, teaching of life- saving, and chemical sanitation of pools. A
spacial session will be devoted to water ballet and diving.
Mr. lake is a certified aquatic director and has had eleven years experience in teach-
ing swimming and water techniques.
The class is open to any qualified person. A $10.00 fee will be charged, and
certificates will be issued to those completing and passing the course.
This matter was briefly discussed by the Council with Councilman Shorb and Councilman luby express
ing favor for the City in paying the fee. Councilman Luby thought the City should send three or four of the
past instructors who they thought would be with the City and suggested that it be discussed with Chuck Banks
and George Crookham.
The matter was then referred to Councilman Lnby with no further action being taken by the Council.
Placing cost of cleaning properties of weeds on tax rolls discussed
Acting Mayor Vassar referred the unfinished business of placing the City's cost of cleaning
properties of weeds on the tax rolls to City Attorney Dean Miller who reported that he had discussed the
matter with County Clark Sam Foote who had said that he didn't think it could be done but that he still
hadn't come up with the statute that said it couldn't be done and that he was supposed to see him again at
the end of the week, at which time he hoped to be able to report on it.
Sale of property discussed - Slk'e Lodge
Acting Mayor Vassar referred to the meeting of November 18, 1963 at which time the City Attorney
rad been authorized to prepare a Resolution and Notice of Sale for two Iota belonging to the City near the
117
Armory location on South Kimball Avenue and City Attorniey Dean Miller replied that apparently he had mis-
understood in that he thought they were going to discuss another matter further on the exchange of some
property.
In discussion by the Council, Councilman Smith referred to the Library and said that he thought
they had to do soma talking about some trading as he couldn't see the City giving a site away if they had to
go out and buy another one and also, they had a problem of a well site which was not going to be to easLly
solved. He stated that, as far as he was concerned, he was not trying to make it tough an the Elks, but that
the City had to defend themselves financially in that they had problems too and he didn't think they had
given enough thought, at this point, to disregard the possibility of a trade and he would rather wait a
little bit and acme to a more definate conclusion before commencing the advertising of the property for sale.
He further stated that it didn't make much sense to pay several thousand dollars for a well site when they
might have some trading stock in view and with some of the things they had to spend money for this coming
year, it just seemed to him that although they wanted to do what they could for the Elks Lodge, they were
going to have to take a hard look at the money available and see what they could afford to do.
Councilman Shorb stated that he thought it would make a good deal for the City if they could
acquire enough land in the location to trade equal and that he thought they should leave the door open for
acme negotiations with the Elks' making some sort of a proposition to the Council. He further stated that
it had been his dream that the Park was the proper place for the Library
After acme further discussion, it was decided that no further action towards sale of the property
should be taken at this time.
Renewal of certain agreements and leases to be investigated
The City Clerk informed the Council that there were several contracts and agreements which had
either expired or were expiring at the end of the year and inquired whether or not any investigation should
be made concerning their renewal and possibly the preparation of certain documents prior to the end of the
year. Agreements and contracts mentioned were the "wet garbage contract ", the lease of airport property Witt
the "Caldwell Unit of Civil Air Patrol ", rental of property to "Frank Crouse" and to "Dale Haile ", and the
lease of cemetery property to "Charles Nickel ".
These were briefly discussed and it was determined that the proper person or persons should be
contacted prior to the and of the year so as to determine whether or not it was their desire that the
contracts or agreements be nenewed.
Resolutinn No. 45 - Interim Warrants
T Acting Mayor Vassar informed the Council that the City Treasurer had monies available in the
Cemetery Fund for financing of construction costs this month in L.I.D. #533 however, in view of the Bity's
contract with Southwick, Campbell, Waterman Co. on interim financing it may be necessary to issue the
arrants to them. City Attorney Dean Miller stated that he didn't have the contract with him but that he
tbought it probably would be better to continue on the arrangements the City had with them and that, after
all, it was a pretty good arrangement interest -wise to the local Improvement District.
Councilman Shorb then introduced and moved the passage of the following Resolutions

thorization given to call for bids on steel for fail
Acting Mayor Vassar informed the Council that in talking with the City Engineer, he had been ad-
sad that he hadn't ordered the material for the Police station jail and said that thiV would recall that on
out the 18th of September the Council had authorized that this be done but that in the meantime, the City
ginner bad had a lot of work to do on fecal Improvement District No. 53 and a tax roll and he hadn't had
me to do its but, if they were going to get it in this years budget, they had to get action on it and for
is reason, he was bringing it to the attention of the Council as they might otherwise loose the $10,000.00
dgeted and it would just be added to the next year's budget. He said that it would seem to him that the
ty Engineer should order the material at once so it could be invoiced in the year 1963.
Councilman Martin inquired as to whether there was still time to get it done.
In answer to the question, the City Engineer stated: "I think there are several steps in this
rection which should be taken. First of all, we should approve our plan because there is no need of
daring steel or materials to go with it unless it is going to fit the ultimate plan. We have developed
is plan and have had it in the development stages for some time and recently got it out and reviewed it and
der it, the jail is to be located in the rear of the present police building; this plan has been approved
the Building Inspector as far as the codes are concerned with the approval of a fire door which is in
ere, and, has been approved by the Chief of Police. He can express his ideas about it if he so wishes."
Mr. Lewis continued by stating: "We would be crowded to get steel ordered and I would suggest that
it were done, it would be done by bids or at least by quotations so that we have several people bidding on
and this would make a rather tight schedule." "W&Ive analyzed it rather carefully today and we think
at, with proper notification immediately, the steel could be bought. The specifications for it could be
ady on the nineteenth which is the third day hence, and, particularly on some parts of it, it is going to
to some time in the event the suppliers couldn't supply but possibly, by expediting it in every manner
ssible, bids could be called in the thirtieth." "It would be nay thinking that if this were done, the steel
about all that could be ordered, and to reiterate, it would have to fit the particular plan which meet be
3vioasly approved ".
Mr. Lewis further stated that, "There are three categories in which the materials could be ordered.
would be grill work, the steel doors, and the hardware, which materials would have to be ordered from
or less a supplier that made this type of equipment and aught to be case hardened steel. The second
gory would be structural steel which would be used in reinforcing the concrete in the walls and ceiling.
i there is a third item that could be purchased and would involve the heating pipe for the floors."
In reviewing the plans, Mr. Lewis stated that, "In general, the plan calla for moving the floor
the entire area where the jail is to go since it is in bad shape, put in the plumbing and heating fixture:
I 1 1 5
and other footings that are necessary; putting the floor back; building the remainder of the jail out of
concrete, the walls and the ceiling." He said that the ceiling height would be nine feet and six inches
which leaves a base of five feet to the bottom of the trusses and that there had been some discussion as to
the use of this space but it could not be used for such uses as meetings and this type of thing unless the
roof were removed and raised but at the present time it could be used for storage. He said that in addition
to the jail itself there was the interrogation area and the entrance area which would necessarily have to go
along with it but that there was very little steel in this except for some doors and one mall section of
grill work that would form the receiving cage; that this, in general, was what he thought could be done and
he would try to answer any questions.
The portion of the minutes of the meeting on September 16, 1963, page 57, pertaining to the prior
discussion concerning the plane for the city jail were referred to.
Councilman Smith stated: "We're talking about $35,000.00 expenditure for a city jail and I don't
think its very practical. I think we're going to have to find a different means to solve this thing and if
we go ahead and spend $10,000.00 for material that we may or may not use, it would be a waste of money."
Acting 1�ayor Vassar repliedt "We intend to use it." "I think we've wean working on this program
for three years and I think it should be followed thm. As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to do all I can
to see that it gate through."
Councilman Smith replied: "I think it's too elaborate. It's too much money."
Councilman Shorb stated: "We certainly have to have a place to house prisoners" and Councilman
Smith answered, "we certainly don't have to spend $35,000.00 for it."
Councilman Martin stated: "The thing that surprises me is that this has been considered for two
or three years and in September we were apparently in agreement and now we are not and I hardly think we
would have expressed the opinions we did, as they are recorded in the minutes, without the thought in mind
that we were going ahead with it." "What'a the alternative?"
Councilman Ia;by stated: "I think we should get ahead with the building of it. One of these days
we are going to wake up and we're going to spend a lot more than $35,000-00 on it."
In answer to Councilman Hartin, Councilman Smith stated that "the alternative is to try to plan
something a little bit more reasonable" and Acting Mayor Vassar replied: "I'd like to hear that plan."
Councilman Smith replied in that there should be some time and Acting Mayor Vassar sad that until he had
heard the plan, he wasn't going to be sold.
Councilman Smith stated: "Well, we've got to consider every angle on this thing and if there is
a more economical way to solve this thing, we certainly should have time to consider it. We've spent all
the money we've got now and if there is a more economical way to solve this thing in the immediate future
you should give us some chance to do it. If you spend $10,000.00 for material when you can't even start to
do it as a whole project, maybe the thing will be changed, and the money will be roasted. Two weeks time is
not fatal in the ordering of materials, if it is finally decided that this is the thing to do, but I have
just come to the conclusion, after thinking it over, that it is going to cost to much money." Councilman
Smith further stated; "I don't know of any law that says we have to build this jail before January first;
this plan is not acceptable to me and it is just a waste of money. You guys can vote it in if you want to
but you're sure throwing the tax pryers money away because I intend to fight this thing and if you spend the
$10,000.00 now, it won't get built if I can help it."
After a brief discussion concerning continuity between this action and the building of a bridge,
it was moved by Councilman Luby that the plans for the city jail be approved and that the steel be purchase:
Acting Mayor Vassar asked for a second to the motion when Councilman Smith stated: "There are
some things in the mill that might solve our whole situation here very beautifully and a lot cheaper than
this by comparison and this is one of the fiolent reasons why I don't want to get involved in this right nm
because I think the next sixty days could make a lot of difference to the City of Caldwell financially in
this whole picture, fire station wise and jail wise too. I'm not saying that I'm never going to vote for I ; �
12a
this, but I'm saying that I'm not going to vote for it right now because it would be a waste of money to ru
into it right now."
The Statesman news reporter stated that she wanted to know if the $10,000.00 which was in this
years budget were spent for steel as called for in the plan, then would the City can for bids for the
construction of the jail or would the City employees build it.
Acting Mayor Vassar replied that this could be decided later and the Council would have to pass
on that.
Councilman Davenport stateds "Well, as far as I'm concerned, it looks like we need a jail badly
and I think that it is necessary that we do something. The money was budgeted to get started on it and the
plane are made."
Councilman Smith replied: "We need a drunk tank, Chat. We are housing prisoners over in the
County jail cheaper than we can house them ourselves and all I'm saying is to rush in here now and commit
ourselves without any opportunity to solve this whole situation cheaper by the new administration, I think
is a little bit silly and I think it is a waste of money. Everybody wants to talk like we're committed here
and we aran't committed to anything.
Councilman Shorb then stated: "It looks to me like the new administration would be under obligat-
ion to give this Council a plan, knowing that we've been planning on this for a year or two, because we're
loosing a year's time."
Councilman Smith stated: "There isn't a new administration in office yet is there?" and Councilman
Shorb replied: "It's the new administration that's talking about throwing this thing out and I'd like an
alternative."
Councilman Smith stated: "I've never seen this plan approved and I don't know if there's anything
godly or sacred about this but we're going to do the best we can.
The prior motion by Councilman Why was then seconded by Councilman Martin and a Boll Call vote
was called for. Before the roll was called, Councilmen Smith stated: "Before you vote on this, I want you
guys to know that you might be throwing $10,000.00 away if you pass it ".
Councilman Luby stated: "I don't think we are" and Acting Mayor Vassar stated: "We'll have some-
thing to say about it." Councilman Smith said: "I didn't say you wouldW t have something to say about it
but you have a responsibility too, don't forget that for a minute."
The Boll was called when the following Councilmen voted in the affirmative: Shorb, Luby, Davenport
and Martin. Negative: Smith. Absent and not voting: none. Acting Mayor Vassar announced that the motion
had carried.

B. DONN,

Request approved for "City Center" signs - Chamber of Commerce
City Engineer Mel Lewis reported that the Chamber of Commeres had requested some directional signs
which would say "City Center" with an arrow with one to be placed just off the Highway right- of-way on Arthur
one at Paynter and Sodth Kimball Avenue, and one at Tenth and Lindan. The exact location would have to be
worked out later.
Acting Mayor Vassar stated that there had been a number of requests for signs of this type.
It was moved by Councilman Laby, seconded by Councilman Shorb that the request be approved. A
vote was taken and the motion unanimo carried.
Intersection at South Kimball and Paynter Avenue discussed
Councilman Martin stated that, as a matter of information, in the last month he had seen a few ni
accidents at the intersection of Paynter Avenue and South Kimball Avenue and he wondered if anything had b
resolved in the way of traffic regulations there.
Acting Mayor Vassar stated that he had received a number of reports concerning this intersection
and that he thought it was something that needed immediate attention in light of the danger and the fact tl
it had been discussed several times.
City Engineer Mel Iewis stated that one proposal would be to stop the out going South Kimball
traffic and turn it at right angles to Payntar Avenue and, if given temporary approval, temporary islands
could be made to do this and if it didn't work, they could be removed. He said that burlap bags could be
1 122
filled with sand, painted white, and placed so as to form an island and that this could be done without to
much difficulty. In this event, the South bound traffic on Paynter Avenue would still be required to stop
for the time being at least.
He stated further that they had some designs on the intersection which would require widening to
the point of the Armory property for a series of islands; the curb would have to be taken out, the box and
hydrant moved, and the sidewalks changed which would permit continuous flow both ways and provide for a three
car storage bay for those going north on Paynter and causing them to atop. He continued by saying that the
left turn from Paynter south was the bad one and there would have to be an opening through the islands to do
this.
Councilman Martin stated that Mr. Lewis had lost him at the first burlap bag and wondered if they
couldn't have something presented on paper so that he could see what was intended.
Chief of Police Charles Astleford stated that if the south bound traffic on South Kimball were
stopped, it would be about the same set-up as the present arrangement at the intersection of Cleveland
Boulevard and Aven Avenue.
After some further discussion, it was agreed that some plan should be presented at the next
iterchange at Tenth Avenue and Interstate discussed
Councilman Shorb offered a suggestion in that, although the time was indefinate, that now might be
good
time for the new Council to start acme planning with the
State Highway Board on the Tenth
Avenue
iterchange at the Interstate. He stated that the north bound traffic had developed since the previous
instruction, that there was an area to be served to the north which would require some planning by the City
A the State to tie it in and that it certainly wasn't planned
for the north side as it was now.
City Engineer Mel Lewis stated that in previous discussions with the State, they had said that they
iry definately would consult with the City in the planning stage of this interchange in that there had been
:pressione of opinions by the Council and Caldwell people that
it was not adequate.
.11s presented for Mid- December
It was moved by Councilman Smith, seconded by Councilman Shorb that the bills presented
for mid -
icamber be approved and that warrants be issued in the various
amounts for payment of them.
