ROADS
The county has been notified by Mayor Davies that there was some damage to a culvert
that needs to be repaired. He would like to replenish the road mix. He’d like two loads
from Baumhoff. Councilman Barber had a question about some water that was coming
down onto March St. He wants Mayor Davies to look at it.
HISTORICAL
Councilman Barber has not received anything from the engineer. They are waiting on a
phone call. A lady came in, took a bunch of pictures, and did an inspection of the jail. There
is no report from her yet. She did recommend that the outside get cleaned up. Mayor
Davies called about getting a dumpster for clean up around the building. Mrs. Cassell
reported that there are still museum showings and it has been a good year. Mr. Cassell
reported that the lady said the building is, “not in imminent danger of collapsing.”
IRRIGATION
Councilman Wells has been collecting the pumped water data and giving the numbers to
the state. There have been 2 leaks over the past month. A welder is needed to do the
repairs. There is not a shutoff date yet since he is waiting on the weather to change first.
Councilman Waters noticed a large wet spot near the large pumphouse but it was
determined not to be a leak.
CEMETERY
Councilman Waters reported a burial. The pine needles were removed. He’s still looking
for pins and would like to get them marked.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Mayor Davies would like to thank Clark and Phoebe for their extensive work on the
museum. They have done a “tremendous” job.
Councilman Butters discussed the antennae base. Councilman Barber discussed the fence
inquiry with the National Guard who puts up the communications for the State of Idaho
and did not believe a fence was necessary.
Councilman Butters announced that there is a Fire Wise seminar after the meeting. The
idea is to help people understand defensible space around their homes especially
considering the fires that have happened lately.

CONSTITUENT INPUT
Clark said the gal from Idaho Heritage recommended trimming the bushes near the
museum. He noticed a pile in the large parking lot. There is no bonfire planned. People
should not be putting debris in the parking but rather over at the Baumhoff site.
Some of the wood from the jail has been made into items and has been sold. Raw wood has
also been sold.
Clark had a question about public hearings.
