requesting application for annexation, R1 zoning for an 80 acre
subdivision W of Eagle on State St. The property is currently the

(3 lots per 4 acres). Mr. Madenford was advised by Council that
individual wells were not acceptable, and advised Mr. Madenford to
re-plan the lots round the chevron pipeline, particularly lots
35,34,56,55,61,62, and to provide connector roads at each end at
lots 38 and 25, then proceed through the public hearing process.

for FY90-91 given to Council. By Council directive Ms. Bolen will

more than approximately 4 checks a month, and cautioned the library
funds, not budgeted, cannot be spent. It was also noted that the
City needs to require invoicing prior to payment of city funds.
EAGLE NURSERY:Design Review/Sign:
Pete Cinterino, owner of Eagle Nursery, addressed Council with his
proposal for two detached street signs 20ft x 14ft, a permanent
structure with landscaping. A readerboard 8ft x 5ft within the
sign has been designed for interior or exterior lighting. Mr.
Cinterino asked for interior lighting to be approved. Moved by
BLAIR and seconded by EASON to approve the proposed sign with the
provision the Council will revisit those areas outside the downtown
area to amend the design review code, which appears to speak to the
downtown and slower traffic areas rather than the outskirts of the
City limits where other considerations need to take place. The
approval is for two signs with interior lighting with a condition
that there will not be an effect on traffic with the lighting. ALL
AYEs MOTION CARRIED.
APPOINTMENTS: Transportation Task Force, continued until the next
meeting.
MAYOR'S REPORTs The new subdivision approval conditions address
street lights in subdivisions. There is a question remaining about
street lighting fees. Although the developer is expected to
install the street lights, the monthly Idaho Power bill has not
been addressed. Other cities ask the lights to be installed by the
developer, they are dedicated to the city and service paid by the
city. The alternative is that the homeowners association assume
the responsibility of maintenance of street lights. Also discussed
was the type of lighting and quantity with a subdivision. The
question remains as to who pays the bill the city or association?
EASON will prepare a report, with the aid of the staff, and present
the report on this subject to the Council on March 24 in order to
resolve these questions.
ATTORNEY'S REPORT: Mona hopes to have a report on the Mendiola
property by the next Council meeting. The formation of a water
company should be on the next agenda dealing with the standards and
contract.
PARKSs After discussion regarding contracting for park
maintenance, the City Clerk volunteered to contact the Attorney
Generals office for an opinion regarding the bidding process. We
need to determine if the service is in the nature of "personal
service" or general maintenance. If the opinion is that bidding is
required the City Clerk was directed to start the bidding process.
Park standards were discussed and it was established that we need
to have direction on chemicals, the kinds of fertilizers and
quantities.
COMMITTEE REPORTS: Reports were given regarding proposed school
locations, traffic patterns, and law enforcement.
CLAIMS AGAINST THE CITY.. Moved by YZAGUIRRE and seconded by BLAIR
to approve the claims as presented. ALL AYE.. MOTION CARRIED.
There,. being no further business the meeting adjourned at 10.'30 p.m.
