Meeting Notes
1
9:00 AM Hough called the meeting to order. There were no cremation applications.
2
9:03 AM Dahlquist reviewed the ambulance contract is going through renewal and that’s a good
partnership between the entities. Discussion ensued on a potential sewer district to help reduce septic
systems. The capacity at water pollution control is good, but there are concerns with a county-wide sewer
district. and the fees already collected for long term maintenance and future capital improvements.
Additional concerns shared were a district having a board of directors and the control of a district.
9:10 AM Hough explained the sewer district would be a customer to Pocatello and the areas that are being
planned for inclusion to the sewer district include from Inkom to the reservation boundary.
9:13 AM Business Manager and Events Director Scott Crowther reviewed water use history and changes
at the complex. With the current curtailment of water rights usage, water usage is over the limit. The cost
to water the soccer fields is $16,000-$18,000 per month for summer months. Dahlquist learned the city
was originally watering the soccer fields. That was switched over to a county pump and the city waived
$30,000 at that time.
9:18 AM Dixon reviewed previous discussions with former leaders about using a well on Appaloosa that
is not potable to water fields as a gift contribution from the city. Dahlquist will investigate that, and
mentioned they are looking at tapping into the Satterfield well that is not potable to water the golf course.
9:22 AM Dahlquist relayed the animal shelter is at 90-100% capacity all the time.

9:01 AM Radford has reviewed the contract and there are no concerns. Moser moved to approve the
contract for counseling. The motion passed.

personnel. The motion passed by roll call vote. Dixon, Klauser, and Allen exited. 9:45 AM Hough moved
