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.
