I A proposed general fund budget of $224, 074. 90 and a sewer construction budget of $978,000 was presented by Mayor Turnbow. After review and discussion, Council- man Richardson moved to approve the proposed budget. Seconded by Councilman Cheney; voting all in favor; motion carried. The public hearing on the budget was set for the next regular meeting on March 19, 1973. Mayor Turnbow reported that there has been no new word from HUD on the sewer grant application since the funds of that agency were frozen. He read correspondence sent by Congressman Hansen and Senator Church regarding this matter, and indicated that Engineer Perkins has suggested that Mr. Pedersen, Director of the Portland HUD office, should be called or contacted by the City Officials to keep the project before him. It was indicated by Engineer Benton that there is a possibility of getting an increased amount of grant funds through EPA if the HUD grant does not come through. The need to get the sewer trunk line under Sand Creek as soon as possible was dis- cus sed. Engineer Benton advised that the funds from HUD which are being held up would not be designated for this part of the project so financing of this work would come under the jurisdiction of EPA, the State Health Department, and FHA. Council- man Swensen moved that the engineers be authorized to negotiate and proceed with the installation of the sewer line under Sand Creek on Sunnyside Road, the two canals on Sunnyside Road, the canal on Ammon- Lincoln Road, and the canal at Sunnyside and I St. Clair as soon as practical. Seconded by Councilman Cheney; voting all in favor; motion carried. The poor condition of Meadow Lane between Molen and O~n Streets as reported by Mrs. Beverly Grabow was mentioned. It was determined that some gravel could be put on later, but there is no way to help the situation while the road is soft. Council- man Richardson reported that there is a need for a representative from Ammon on the Traffic Committee of the Bonneville Council of Governments. It was recommended that the Chairman of the local Traffic Safety Committee, presently Ken Madsen, be appointed.
