Council Minutes 11/15/1984 I ,,~ CO I"- U <t <( I I November 1, 1984 281 Regarding the idea of an election on the question of on-premises consumption of wine and beer, as decided at the previous meeting, it was explained by Attorney Anderson that the City's existing beer ordinance which adopts the State Beer Laws provides for the sale of beer by-the-drink, so a qualified applicant could get a license for that purpose at the present time. He pointed out that it may be that the City would have to allow a license for wine by-the-drink since this is a county-option law and a majority of the people in Bonneville County voted in favor of the sale of wine a few years ago; however, since the law provided for local regulation, the City of Ammon officials chose to not include sale of wine by-the-drink in its ordinance. Attorney Anderson indicated that he would check into this issue more thoroughly if someone comes to the City for information about obtaining a license, but he suggested that, in the meantime, the City Council should not initiate any action on the matter. Councilwoman Dille moved to rescind the motion made in the previous meeting to schedule a special election on December 6, on the advice of the City Attorney. The motion was seconded by Councilman Williamson; voting was all in favor; motion carried. Hayse Whiteley, Public Works Director, reported that arrangements are being made to buy a new snowplow and to look for a used long-base truck on which to mount the plow, that he contacted the property owner about the open-basement problem on Matchpoint Drive, and that special warning signs are to be ordered to use while work is going on in the streets. Mayor Swensen commented about his participation in the recent County Civil Defense nuclear exercise. He mentioned that he has been keeping in touch with the neighbors of the Labrum family about the problems there, and things seem to be better for the time being. Claims to pay in the amount of $5,343.08 were presented by the City Clerk and were approved along with claims paid since the previous meeting totaling $5,117.43. A motion to adjourn was made by Councilwoman Dille and seconded by Councilman Williamson; voting was all in favor; the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M.

Todd Lords, representing the occupants in the duplex apartments at 2790 and 2792 Ammon Road, expressed the opinion that, since there is only one water service line and one sewer service line to the dwelling, there should only be one billing for City utilities at the same rate as a single-family residence rather than two separate billings at the duplex rate. The Mayor and Council members explained that the charges are based on the number of family li ving units in the building insteadoif the number of service lines and are set by a schedule in accordance with City Ordinance, so it is not possible to give any special consideration in this instance. Mr. Lords stated that he understood the City's rate schedule but did not agree with it. An ordinance to establish regulations for a Manufactured Residence Zone was reviewed.
