Councilman Orton approached the question of hook-up fees for Water & Sewer Services.

Bruce Stuart, Works Supt told the council that the temporary water service problem at Lot 6, Block 6, Cherry Lane Village has not yet been solved. There has been no response to the d~iand letter written requesting that the contrator activate the service. Counci]man Rick Orton Jr. said that if the City were to fix the service it would take approximately 4 hours work time and about $300.00 in materials. Orton recomm+erided that the service be fixed with our (City) own forces and try to get some sort of recourse for the fees. City Attorney Wayne Crookston told the Council that the recourse would have to be toward the Contractor or Developer not the property owner. There was discussion. (Tape on File - City Clerk's Office - Meridian City Hall) It was decided that the City would fix the service at its awn cost, and let the matter of recourse drop. Councilman Brewer told the Council that there have been more complaints on Mr. Steve Nesmith, specifically the property on the corner of King Street and Meridian Street, as he is operating what appears to be a used junk car lot. Brewer asked that Police Chief Nichols elaborate. Chief Nichols told the Council that there are several cars on the properly mentioned that are in no way in working condition. Nichols went on to say that he has spoken with the City Attorney concerning the procedure that should be taken. City Attorney Crookston said that the Criminal Suit is difficult to enforce because of the 30 day time limit. There was discussion concerning the possibility of a violation to City Zoning Ordinances.

Save-A-Lot Company 10539 K-Bar~T Boise, Idaho 83709 Wai.er Department Bruce Stewart Meridian, Idaho 83642 Dear Mr. Stewart: We would like to start a ready mig, U-haul type cement business near the existing bam located at 605 Franklin Road. We are facing three problems: 1. We ere able to rent this property only on a month to month basis. Along term lease is not available. 2. Time of year. If we are not in operation by October 24th there will not be enough revenue before winter begins to safely rnakc this investment. 3. Since we have limited capital to invest;'at this time, it would not be feasible to waste it unnecessarily. By spring of 1984 we will either have a long term lease on this property making it profitable to invest in property improvements, or we will be obtaining another property in Meridian tr~hich will better suit our needs. Our short team goals for this properly are as follows. We would like to obtain a sl-~rt tetin operating permit, expiring on May 15, 1984. We will clean up the property, making it more eye-appealing from the road. We t~ant to connect to the household water supply, and we anticipate using two to four thousand gallons bf water per month. We would like to rent a portable chemical toilet to satisfy our sanitation needs since we anticipate a limited demand for this service. We pro3ect that within two years we will be employing ten or move people in our campt~y. Sincerely, Fir~ce A.
