Collins Lonnie Kellogg D.L. McGillen Jim Worthington Vicki Metzger Don Hackmann Review the Committee minutes and correspondence. Review the letters of interest from applicants for the vacant Alderman position in Ward III. Letters were received from Chuck Dickerson, Dan Lowell and Gay Easton. Ron Marshall reported that Laurie Parpart will be at the Council meeting tonight to discuss keeping rabbits in the City. Currently it is against City ordinance to have rabbits within the City limits. She does have rabbits and a neighbor found a dead rabbit on their lawn and assumed it belonged to Parparts, which apparently it did not belong to them. Mrs. Parpart would like to see the ordinance changed to allow pet rabbits in the City limits. Cheryl Marshall mentioned that Intermountain Distributing would like to run a promotion for an Ambulance fund raiser. For every case of beer, including O'Doul's, that they would sell during the months of June, July, August and September they would donate .10? to the ambulance capital projects fund. The last time they ran a 3 month promotion like this, they contributed over $1,800. Cheryl has mixed emotions about this. She did not know what a direct contribution from them would be, without running a promotion. She wanted to know how the Council felt about this and if there wasn't any objections from anyone she would pursue it. A comment was made that they didn't like to see revenue come about by beer sales, but we need the money for the Ambulance capital projects fund. It was suggested that Cheryl take this to the ambulance committee. T Page 2- City Council Committee of the Whole Jan. 21, 1992 It was reported that questions have been asked as to why we don't have a mill levy for the ambulance. Don Hackmann said that I-105 is still in effect, but this could possibly be a voted mill levy. (see attached) Darrell McGillen reported that he went to Briggs Distributing to run a similiar promotion on an individual basis and keep the City out of it. He said that Briggs will do something. Darrell also gave an update on the new fire truck. It should be delivered to us by mid-February. The meeting was adjourned at 6:54 p.m. Res ectfully submitted, Don Hackmann, City Clerk E 9 LOCAL GOVERNMENT Chapter Cross-References State assumption of county public assis- Hospitals and related facilities, Title 50, tance programs, Title 53, ch. 2, part 8. ch. 5.

I have been a resident of Ward 3 since September 21, 1990, residing at 532 Fairview. Lane. Prior to this I resided at 707 Juniper Avenue from August 1978 to May 1990. While living at this address I served as Alderman - Ward 4 from January 1984 to February 1990. During my terms as an Alderman, I served 2 years as President of the Council and on just about all the committee's in city government. I also represented Laurel as a member of the Yellowstone City--County Health Board from July 1986 to March 1990 and the Laurel City-County Planning Board from 1988 to 1990. I resigned from the City Council in February 1990 due to the sale of our house and moving out of Ward 4. 1 valued my 6 years as an Alderman and would like to bring the knowledge and experience I acquired during that time back to the City of Laurel as Alderman - Ward 3. If appointed, I would plan on running in 2 years to complete the 4 year term. Your consideration in reviewing my letter is greatly appreciated. C?
