Looking Back

5 YEARS AGO (2017)

Cindy Dawson, RN, MDS Coordinator at the Oneida County Long Term Care, was recently named the Skilled Nursing Facility Employee of the Year by the Idaho Healthcare Association (IHCA) at their annual convention held in Boise.

In response to the award, IHCA commented, "IHCA is excited to recognize and honor members of your team who consistently demonstrate professionalism, a focus on customer service, and dedication to vulnerable adults who live in nursing homes, assisted living communities and intermediate care facilities."

Working in the healthcare field for over 40 years, Cindy loves working with the residents at the Oneida county Long Term Care and is always going above and beyond in her compassionate care.

Cindy was an integral part of obtaining a technology grant for almost $509,000.00 from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. The grant has provided multiple technology upgrades for the residents of the Oneida Long Term Care.

Last year, 70 percent of the 1966 graduating class continued their education with 52 of 74 requesting transcripts.

Applications for chief of police, a possible consolidation of the Oneida County and Malad City law enforcement departments, the removal of weeds, and the sewage system were matters discussed by the Malad City Council. The possibility of placing the county and city law enforcement departments into one department under the head of the county sheriff was a major topic of discussion. A study is now being made to see whether or not this plan would be feasible. To fill the vacancy of the Chief of Police, formerly held by Ralph S. Burton, the City Council considered the applications of Joe May and Howard Vanderwood. According to Malad Mayor Glen B. Williams, no decision has been made. 65 YEARS AGO (1957)

When is V-J Day? There seems to be some question as to the date of V-J day. Japan surrendered, unconditionally August 14, 1945. Official announcement of the victory touched off celebrations throughout the world. Japan formally surrendered aboard the U.S. battleship Missouri on September 1, 1945, (September 2, Tokyo time.) We celebrate Armistice Day November 11, the day the order to cease firing was issued. The peace treaty was signed June 28 the following year. Two years ago by proclamation of President of the United States, A-J day was observed August 14. A year ago Governor Arnold Williams proclaimed August 14 V-J day.

Malad City Ordinance No. 443.

This Will Be Strictly Enforced!

The City Council met on Wednesday night last week. Mayor Joan Hawkins was unavailable for the meeting, so council president Lance Tripp served as the presiding member of the meeting. DEQ Grant Approval

The first item on the agenda involved the approval of a grant from the Department of Environmental Quality to study the water in Malad. As the Council members did not feel sufficiently informed about the nature of the grant, they opted to wait until the mayor returned to come to an official determination. Because the deadline for the grant is imminent—at the beginning of September—a special meeting of the council was called for this week to authorize the grant application. Codification

A bid from an outside contractor, American Legal, to codify the city’s code was received. Codification entails creating a searchable digital archive of the city’s nearly 500 ordinances, which would make the creation of new ordinances and the repeal of older ones significantly easier. A permanent digital record will also make it easier for outside companies to explore business potential in the city, and for building contractors to familiarize themselves with local guidelines. The initial fee for codification was bid at $8,000, which is below comparable rates for service nationally. A yearly maintenance and update fee of $500/yr, as well as some additional fees for the first year were also noted. The council approved a motion to move forward with the codification of the City Code, and subsequent updating for the first year. Memorandum of Understanding with Deep Creek

Deep Creek Irrigation had requested an MoU with the city to affirm a working relationship moving forward with regard to exploring various avenues for grants and other funding possibilities related to the improvement and/or repair of the water line system through town. The MoU was described as a “soft contract” which would create the conditions for a mutually beneficial working relationship, but not be binding. Security Systems

After the recent breakin at City Hall, and what was mentioned to be an uptick in vandalism events at city facilities, the council discussed the installation of new security cameras in a number of locations. Sheriff Arne Jones spoke to the council about the Sheriff’s Office’s interaction with the camera systems around town, and the two discussed ways to maximize the effectiveness of a cooperative security arrangement. Business License

A business license for Heling Hands, Home Health and Hospice was approved for a location on South Bannock Street, which will primarily serve as an office facility for the charitable organization. Sheriff

The sheriff requested that newly passed ordinances (such as the recent eBike ordinance) be digitally conveyed to his office so that they could be added to the electronic ticketing system in use by the county. The City Council agreed to do so.

The sheriff also reported that the dog pound facility had recently flooded as a result of a water trough issue, which has temporarily been remedied. The need for a level-sensitive float to keep the trough (primarily used for cattle, but also for filling the dog water dispenser) was discussed.

Earlier in the year, the city had planned to build a new structure for detaining dogs; however, the bids which were received for the project exceeded the city’s expectations and the decision was made to at least temporarily upgrade and improve the existing structure in lieu of completely replacing it. As the current location is on agricultural land, a discussion about fencing off the area from cattle was had. The agricultural water and mud often make entry to the facility difficult for officers, and occasionally lead to the kind of water issues discussed above.

The sheriff’s office expressed some concern about the behavior of visiting teams during the Little League event last month, with some reports of vandalism and unsportsmanlike behavior having been received by event attendees. The city planes to speak with event organizers about possible solutions. Budget

A large portion of the meeting was given over to a discussion of the budget for the next fiscal year. The council moved to adopt the tentative budget, which will be printed in this edition of the paper, and subject to a public hearing scheduled for September 7. Access Ordinance

The council had been working on an ordinance to create enforceable penalties for using residential lots for commercial access to businesses. This was primarily an attempt to mitigate the ongoing complaints about the pallet operation, which has raised a number of concerns about safety among neighbors of the downtown area in which the operation is located. After a discussion, the council determined that the ordinance would likely end up being too narrow to be effective in any other capacity and may end up creating unforeseen enforcement ramifications. Hess Lumber is also currently establishing a location south of town where the pallet operation in question will be moved at some point in the future, remedying the immediate problem. The council determined to instead look at adding enforcement language to the current ordinance in place prohibiting expansion of the operation in residential areas. Recreation Board

The Recreation Board is currently and autonomous entity that operates under its own governance, although it does receive some funding from the city, as well as the use of city property. President Bobbi Summers approached the council to determine exactly what the guidelines for the board were, and what potential there might be to incorporate the county, as well as the city, into its scope. The council and the Recreation board agreed to look further into the potential of expanding its base. City Superintendent

Tyler Webster reported that over the last month tree spraying and chip sealing projects had been completed. Webster was asked to determine the cost to the city of connecting new homes to the city’s water system and determined that it was $2,039. The city currently imposes a $1,000 fee to perform the service. The potential of raising those fees was considered for addition to a later agenda. Webster also reported that the disposal of several chlorine cylinders from the old sewage treatment system was under exploration, but expected to be more significant that previously estimated as a result of their advanced state of corrosion. Miscellaneous

Comments have been received from the public about the presence of weeks along sidewalks in the downtown area. Water pressure concerns have also been raised at various places in town over the last several weeks. The potential of repainting the city’s T-33 aircraft in the City Park were also discussed.
