to prepare a report outlining those areas within the
redevelopment area and give guidelines on costs incurred in
terms of the improvement portion of that area. It is
basically a preliminary appraisal of what we have and what
would be available dollar wise to increase, so we have a
figure to work from.

by MINOW and seconded by HAMMONS to authorize MINOW to proceed
with what needs to be done to get the project started. ALL AYE:

COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Library/ HAMMONS: one of the claims presented tonight is a
voucher for the library. He would like to check the need for the
extra budgeted amount, or just approve the 89-90 budgeted amount
pending notification inquiring about any extra expenses incurred
that we do not know about. Also, suggests that we have a central
accounting system for the Eagle Public Library to require
submission of bills to the city clerk to be paid by the city
rather than the librarian. Discussion took place regarding a
central payment center located in Boise so only one set of books
are kept. The issuance of checks should shift to the city. We
need to contact Lynn at the Boise Library, to find out how the
City of Boise procedures are handled and follow suit. Moved by
HAMMONS to research the procedure to see how it is done and adopt
the same practice to handle the finances. Motion was seconded
by WALKER. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED. (a manual should be
procured by Lynn, and the guidelines of the manual be followed).
Centennial/HAMMONS: Hammons met with the committee members and
presented Certificates to those that helped with the Centennial.
The items to be buried in the capsule have been received and the
capsule will be buried in the next 2 days.
Medical: MINOW reported that Kelvin McDonald, a Medical advisor
from St. Alphonsus Hospital, advised him that the best way to
attract a physician in our area is through contact by networking
and through mailers to physicians that are looking for a
practice. St. Alphonsus would be willing to prepare a mailer to
entice a physician to come i~to the area. They advertise the
facility and our community at a cost of $500.00 to $750.00, or,
an alternative is to use a recruiter who will go out and look for
what we need, but the cost would be $10,000 to $25,000. Those in
the community that would benefit financially should be expected
to bear that cost. MINOW requested authorization to incur the
cost of up to $750.00. Moved by MINOW and seconded by YZAGUIRRE
to authorize $750.00 for the above mentioned cost. ALL AYE:
MOTION CARRIED.
CLAIMS AGAINST THE CITY: Moved by WALKER and seconded by HAMMONS
to approve the claims with the exception of check #8023 to the
water company, as there is a question on the amount, and check
#8014 to the Eagle Public Library, until HAMMONS talks to Mike
Covalt regarding library expenses. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
