Mayor Turnbow presented a number of questions which City of Idaho Falls officials
have indicated will have to be considered in coming to an agreement to contract for
building inspection services, and an informal discussion was conducted to get the
feeling of the council members. Attorney Smith advised that entering into such an
agreement appears to be in accordance with state law, but some minor changes in the
language of the proposed recodified ordinance pertaining to building pe.rmits and.
inspections might be necessary. Further checking into this matter will be done by the
City Attorney, in addition to working with the Idaho Falls Attorney to determine if the
agreement terms should be in the form of an ordinance or a contract.
A request for a zoning change was brought up by. Mr. Boyd Thompson who was advised
to take his proposal to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Engineer Benton reported that a contact has been made with the Portland office of
EPA, and information was given that there would be no participation by that agency
in any work on the sewer project that is done before a grant offer is made. ThiS
has resulted in a standstill at the present time in the plans to get the lines under the
creeks and canals which was approved at the last meeting.
Council members were reminded to attend the public hearing on the proposed zoning
ordinance and recodification of the city ordinances on Thursday, March 22, at 8:00
P. M. in the Ammon Jr. High Auditorium. Mayor Turnbow requested a change in the
wording of the section pertaining to snow removal, which was taken under advisement.

pit behind the Circle K Store, and it was suggested that the Attorney write a letter to
