MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Item 14:
Public Hearing: Sale of Property at Public Auction:
De Weerd: Item 14 is a Public Hearing on sale of property for public auction and, Mr.
Attorney, are you or our city engineer taking this item?
Nichols: Madam Mayor, I don't think we arranged ahead of time who was going to do
this. This is simply the time for anyone who wants to testify publicly as to whether this
particular parcel of property should or should not be sold by the city as surplus property.
De Weerd: Okay. Well, then, I will open this Public Hearing and invite anyone from the
public who would like to comment on this item. Since I don't see anyone rushing
forward, I will ask our attorney to maybe review next steps and, then, would ask for a
motion from Council.
Nichols: Madam Mayor, Members of the Council, after the Public Hearing is concluded,
the Council, then, has the -- if the Council so chooses, the Council can vote to put the
property up for sale. You have already declared a minimum value for the parcel, which
was part of your prior decision. The property has to be sold at public auction for at least
the minimum declared value. If no one bids the minimum declared value at the public
auction, then, the city is free to list the property for sale or otherwise sell it. This
particular parcel was originally intended, if I recall correctly, as a water booster station,
which ultimately was not needed and so it has no purpose within the city water
department or sewer department or any other part of public works, it's too small for a
park site and so that's why the staff has brought to you a recommendation that it be
declared surplus and sold.
De Weerd: Thank you, Mr. Attorney. That was entered into the public testimony. We
do have an open Public Hearing. If Council would so desire, I would entertain a motion
to close the Public Hearing.
Bird: So moved.
Nary: Second.
De Weerd: It's been moved and seconded to. close the Public Hearing on Item 14. All
those in favor say aye. All ayes. Motion carries.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.

Bird: I would move that we sell the property at public auction for the minimum -- and I'm
going to have to ask what was the minimum we -- because I forgot. Do you remember,
Bill?
Nary: It was half of what we thought it should be. 17,OOO?
Bird: What was it, Brad?
Nary: 1_,700.
Watson: Madam Mayor, Council Members, I believe it was 3,500.
Bird: 3,500. For a minimum of 3,500.
De Weerd: Is that a second?
Nary: Oh, second.
De Weerd: Okay. It's been moved and seconded to move this forward to public auction.
Is there any further discussion? Mrs. Deputy Clerk, will you call roll.
Roll-Call: Bird, yea; Rountree, absent; Wardle, yea; Nary, yea.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES. ONE ABSENT.
Item 15:
Water, Sewer and Trash Delinquencies:
De Weerd: Thank you. Our next item, Item 15, is our water, sewer, and trash
delinquencies. This is to inform you in writing, if you so choose, that you have the right
to a pre-termination hearing at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 20th, 2004, before the Mayor
and City Council to appear in person to be judged on the facts and to defend the claim
made by this city that your water, sewer and trash bill is delinquent. You may retain
counsel. Your service will be discontinued on July 21 st, 2004, unless payment is
received in full. Is there anyone present who wishes to contest his or her water, sewer,
and trash delinquency? Hearing no response, they are hereby informed that they may
appeal and have the decision of the city reviewed by the Fourth Judicial District Court
pursuant to Idaho State Code. Even though they appeal, their water will be shut off.
The amount of the turn-off list is $20,235.86. Council, do I have a motion?
Bird: Madam Mayor?
De Weerd: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I would move we approve the water, sewer, and trash turn-off list for the amount of
$20,235.86.
