DECEMBER 14, 1993
PRE COUNCIL: Lt. Dale Woodcook, Ada County Sheriff's Office was
unable to attend tonight. The City Clerk was asked to give the
message to the Council that there has not been an assignment of an
officer to the Eagle area yet. The Sheriff's office will be
assigning reservists to patrol the city.
The P&Z report was given by Mary Berent.
Karen Jones: addressed the Council regarding the Irrigation system
of Echo Creek Subdivision and made inquiries about the parks in the
subdivision.
A special report was given by Bert Bradley, the City of Eagle's
representative to ACHD. Mr. Bradley requested the Council initiate
a letter to ACHD regarding Eagle's attitude toward commercial and
industrial development in the Eagle area. ACHD is under the
impression that Eagle discourages commercial and industrial growth.
The discussion came out of a proposal to raise the ACHD Impact
Fees. Eagle will be paying more. The letter needs to state
Eagle's position to solicit commercial and industrial growth which
is demonstrated by the Eagle Comprehensive Plan, The Eagle Quest
and the fact Eagle is a Gem Community.
BASTIA/g reported on the activities of the Sewer Dist. and
introduced to Council a financial report prepared by staff and

installation of street lights on Idaho and First Street and at the
Eagle Golf Course. The City Engineer quoted the cost of a wood
pole in the amount of $700., a metal pole $1,200. If there is
repair pavement the cost is approximately $3.50 a lineal foot. The
golf course does not need an easement for the lights, there is a
public right of way in the location the lights are needed. The
Engineer recommended two lights. The Idaho Street light is located
at the alley south of Idaho Street and another on the north side of
Idaho St. The new light should be at least 200 ft from the
existing lights, only one light is needed and it should be wood.
If those residents on Idaho street or the owners of the golf course
choose the metal poles they should be required to pay the
difference.

recommended by the Engineer. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
