Show Sunday, October 10, 1993 9C Standard-Examiner Idaho council votes to build = BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The Permanent Building - Fund Advisory Council voted to go ahead with con>s}ruction of a million-dollar, state-owned governor's @yesidence over the objection of Gov. Cecil Andrus. -. The council, appointed by the governor, unani- mously directed the Public Works Division to negoti- ate a contract for up to $150,000 with architect Darryl = McMillen of Sun Valley to design the residence. 45" “It’s not a politically popular thing for a governor to «say, “We haveall these other needsin thestate, but I “want you to take X number of dollars and build a governor's residence,” House Appropriations Chaira Kathleen Gurnsey, R-Boise, told the council. =*But I think we owe it to whoever is governorofthis § <Sidic to provide him with a decent piace io live.” =<: Andrus, citing the state’s inability to finance its <ostcritical building needs, asked the council earlier ~ this week to delayat least until next spring any action “on construction of a governor’s residence. He wanted <the Legislature to have another chance at coming up with a wayof funnelling more cash to state buildings. Only after moneyis found for prison, education and other major projects, the retiring Democratic chief ex- ecutive said, would it be proper to consider spending $1 million on a governor’s home. The front-runner for the Republican nomination to succeed Andrus, former Lt. Gov. Phil Batt, called for the council to completely abandon the project two weeks ago, saying it runs contrary to the public mood and the moneycould be better spent. “I agree we must find a way to address these pressing needs,” said Rep. Donna Jones, R-Payette, a mem- it was not the council's job to countermandthat action. Gurnseysaid it would be difficult as it is to have the residence ready by January 1995 when the new governortakes office and any delay would makeit impossible. She also pointed out that while Andrus vetoed an appropriation to build a governor’s residence 19 years ago duringhis first term, he did not veto the planning moneyfor the project this time around when he had the chance last spring. Boise architect Charles Hummel, who serves with Gurnseyon the special governor's residence committee this year, said it was unfair for Andrusto attack the project now, calling the governor's intervention “political fun and games.” The state constitution requires the governor to live in Ada County, and the state once owned a house for the governor's use about two miles west of the Capitol. But the structure was so run down that in 1987 at Andrus’ request, the Legislature agreed to sell the property and put the proceeds — about $221,000 — toward construction of an acceptable residence at some future time. Andrus has owned a homein Boise for years. That fund, augmented by the Legislature in 1990 with another $780,000 in state money and since then with limited amounts from other sources, is earmarked solely for a residence and can be spent for nothing else. ber of the council. But she agreed with others that Gurnseysaid the residence committee is expecting a four-bedroom home of about 5,000 square feet on a Goth the Legislature and Andrus had formally approved spending the planning moneylast March and 15-acre lot the state already owns about a mile north of the Capitol. Idaho firm to develop electric cars IDAHO FALLS (AP) — An Idaho National Engineering Laboratorycontractor will help with the effort generate no tailpipe emissions. Sales of zero emission vehicles must be increased to 10 percent by 2003. The only technology now offering zero emissionsis to put “zero emission vehicles” on California highways before the end of the decade. EG&G Idaho Inc., the U.S. Department of Energy’s electric vehicles. lead contractor at the INEL, agreed recently to help tric Vehicle/Hybrid Vehicle Program since 1984. The the California Air Resources Board evaluate electric vehicles and battery technology. The three-year agreement, announcedthis week, is valued at $500,000 for the first year and can be extended with the approval of both sides. California regulations require that 2 percent of the vehicles sold in the state each year, starting in 1998, EG&G Idaho hasled the Energy Department’s ElecINEL program evaluates battery modules and packs and tests state-of-the-art vehicles to determine their range and performance. Work donefor the California Air Resources Board will help establish requirements for zero emission ve- hicles. EG&G Idaho said the first vehicle to be tested was delivered to the INEL in mid-July. Sandpoint approves massive annexation pleas, complaints and threats oflegal action. “There has been no issue more heart-wrenching than this,” Councilman David Sawyer told a crowd of about 50 people Thursday, none of whom supported the plan to quadruple the size of Sandpoint by adding nearly 17,000 acres. “ButI feel this is what's right in the long run,” Sawyer said, “If we don’t go ahead with this, we are going to have-a worse scenario on our hands.” The council ignored new boundaries the nearby smaller towns of Ponderay and Dovercreated last RES week through voluntary annexation plans launched to escape what some have called Sandpoint’s “midnight border raid.” But the decision is far from final. All the cities expect they will ask a judge to settle the feud. City officials contend the plan will allow the extension of Sandpoint utilities to the surrounding rural areas. But angry residents in the path of annexation argued for more than three hours Thursday that they don’t need an estimated 40-percent property tax increase. Officials trom Dover and Ponderay contend they were never consulted about the annexation.
