The one million dollar structure is slated for Mm Art Elementry nw under Construction crews have begun work on the new Art City Elementary School located at 151 N. 900 E. The million dollar structure is expected to be completed for the beginning of the 1978 school year and . will house ten classrooms for grades kindergarten thru fifth. Flexibility in design, to meet more than one methodology and more than one philosophy, was the underlying criterion as the new elementary school was planned for the northeast section of Springville. A citizen's committee appointed by the Nebo Board of Education had this in mind as they planned the building from the initial discussion to choosing the school's name. The building consists of ten classrooms for two sections of students: 1st through 5th grades, a kindergarten, several joint use areas, a multipurpose room, centrally located media center, a 14 foot square Kiva (Sunken area surrounded by seating steps) for class size productions and instruction, a mezzanine floor with specific joint use areas that fosters a "Punch and Judy" type stage on the stairway leading to the mezzanine floor which can be viewed from every section of the media center and joint use areas. Each classroom can be used individually in-dividually or jointly as each is equipped with portable and moveable walls. It can be used as an open concept school or it can be used as a traditional closed classroom philosophy. Doorways between classrooms for each level can be opened for team and-or turn teaching or can be left closed when students and teachers need to be on their own. In planning this building, there had to be a lot of meeting of the minds. The committee met several times in discussion groups and made several trips to see school buildings in use such as the Nebo Schools, the Windsor and Pleasant Grove Jr. High, the Oakdale and Muir in Davis County, the Fbrtuna in Granite District and several others. Matters that needed careful consideration con-sideration in planning were such items as: numbers of children to house, the educational program, plot limitations, budgets, building costs, schematic guidelines, busing problems, full approval ap-proval of governing boards such as the State Fire Marshall, State Board of Health, State Building Board, State School Board and OSHA. A deep study of mechanical energy was made to determine efficiency in operating costs as related to construction, con-struction, and by necessity, there had to be some trade off for initial and operating costs in terms of energy utilization. There are only enough classroom windows to keep children from the feeling of being confined and enough walls and attic insulation to meet current energy standards. The building is of tilt-up architectural concrete walls, with a reddish brown rigid monray glazed tile roof with very picturesque system of retaining walls to make the grounds and landscapeing particularly interesting. Even the name was chosen by the committee after each had polled several patrons in the area. Names such as Camel Back, Mountain View, Spring Creek, Oak Park, Foothill and Dallin Park were suggested, but Art City constrmthn City Elementary was chosen and approved ap-proved by the Board of Education. The committee met several times with the architect, Lee Knell and Associates of - Provof and after explaining ex-plaining to him what their desires were and making compromises and other trade offs to meet structural and design problems, a very flexible efficiently ef-ficiently planned, long lived building was on the drawing boards. The planning committee members were chosen from a long list of names submitted to the Board of Education. They were: Ron Cambell, Steve Murdock, Mrs. Boyd Hansen, Mrs. Paul Thorpe, Mrs. Ron Irvine, John Patrick, Darlene Gustavson, and Mrs. Dale Lee. Mr. Boyd Goodrich, Assistant Superintendent, represented the School District Staff. The bids were let and Vincent Construction Con-struction Company is on the job. Compactions of grounds and footings are in and the pouring of the foundation is in progress. The base bid for the Art Cjity Elementary School was $915,000 with furnishings, cabinets, carpet and food services equipment, the cost will be close to $1,000,000. The building should be ready for fall 1978 opening of school. By Roger Taylor The Springville City Library, while offering services claimed to be superior to libraries serving equal size cities in Utah, is in serious need of expanding its facilities. The Library, at present, can offer only limited use of many services because of the lack of space. Librarian Paula Jones stated that the library has audio-visual equipment, phonograph records and players, films, tapes and projectors, but little or no space in which they can be used At their last meeting, Library Board members emphasized that one of the major problems of expanding the facilities is making the public aware of the need. Most users of the library are happy with the present services and therefore don't realize how much better the library could operate if there were additional space. According to Aileen Clyde, board chairman, the library circulates eight books a year for every citizen of Springville. "If all our books came in, there would be no floor space. This high circulation points up both our Library iMt! : i-i tit ,i This drawing of the proposed Springville Library expansion ex-pansion shows the almost doubling in the size of the present library. Although plans for the reconstruction have been completed there are no funds for the project to completion in the fall of 1978 and will house ten classrooms and grades kindergarten thru fifth. With the addition of this soon-to-be completed one million gallon water tank, Springville will have a more secure Operation 'Hot Stuff seeks property The Springville City Police Department Depart-ment is announcing the start of "OPERATION HOT STUFF", a program designed to let concerned citizens participate in one of their city's crime prevention programs. The objective ob-jective of the program is to locate and return reported stolen property to its rightful owner. How can you help? First, if you are great need for expansion as well as the efficiency of our staff in serving the people of this city." The problem first became apparent about five years ago. The Library was opened in 1964 and by 1972 was feeling the need to enlarge. While the library does offer excellent services, it fails to meet American Library standards because of space limitation. Mrs. Jones stated that many people from out of state who come to use the library are surprised when offered such limited facilities. For example, most other libraries have areas specifically designated for audio-visual use. When someone wants to use this equipment at the Springville Library, space must be cleared out and the equipment moved in. The Springville Library Board has researched several means by which money could be obtained to go ahead with reconstruction. They received $8,000 from the Springville City Council which they used to commission a Provo architect to design the expansion and draw plans. The blueprints are now complete and construction could m design mm 1 - - j-vfv : w-iJvtr ity wafer resisirv mm In spite of Utah's severe drought this year, Springville's water facilities and supply are in good condition, and with average rainfall in the coming years could supply the city's water needs till 1980 without reconstruction of the water system. Springville Water Department Supervisor Jack Windley stated that the water system has been improved the victim of a theft, report it immediately im-mediately to the police department. The police department will then compile a list each week of the reported stolen property and forward it to the Springville Herald. The Springville Herald will then print the list in their weekly edition. The list will contain a physical description of the reported stolen property, including serial proceed if funds were obtained. The Library Board wrote a proposal for funds which was submitted to the Economic Development Administration. Ad-ministration. The proposal was denied on the grounds that Springville was not a high unemployment area. Prior to that proposal, the National Endowment for the Humanities was approached for funds. The Board also wrote for a grant from the Department of Natural Resources. Besides wanting to expand the library to meet community needs, the Board stated that the proposed expansion ex-pansion would bring the Library up the American Library standards and would also create a proper repository for documents on Springville history. These documents, many of which have been recently acquired, are currently inaccessible to patrons because of storage problems. At present the Library has no staf-froom, staf-froom, no restroom, no study room and no place to use copy services or the audio-visual equipment. There is currently 2670 linear feet of shelving. funds begin. Library board members are seeking capltol Improvement Im-provement funds from the city council to help with the project with the addition of a water tank which will add another one million gallons of storage capacity to the city's system. The new tank is located in Spring Canyon and is currently being inspected in-spected before it is put into operation sometime near the end of July. The new tank, with a one million gallon capacity, will serve as a back up supply supple of water fo r peak periods of use. The project is slated to be completed near the end of July. number (if available), model number, license number, any unusual identifying iden-tifying marks, etc. The victim's name and address will not be included. Should a citizen locate reported stolen property they can see that it is -turned to it's rightful owner in one of iavo ways. First, contact any officer of the Springville Police Department and give him the property, or the location where it can be found. Second, if the informant wishes to remain anonymous, he or she may contact the editor of the Springville Herald and give him the property or the information in-formation as to it's location. The editor will then see that the property or information in-formation is turned over to the police department, exercising his right no to divulge his source of information (void if crime is one of violence). The success of any crime prevention program in this city depends on you, the concerned citizen. Help your police department make this program a success.

The addition of the tank is an asset to the city water department because it allows for less pumping of water. Since the tank feeds water to the city by a gravity pull method no pumping is required. Previously when the city needed water, and the two million gallon tank was nearing exhaustion, the water department would have to begin pumping water from wells. Springville water department has three wells which round out the water supply. The wells which supply about half of the water needs range from 380 feet to 420 feet deep and pump up to 2300 gallons per minute. This may sound like a great deal of water, however on a peak day the city will use over five million gallons of water. On May 14 the city used 5,370,000 gallons of water. This breaks down to city water use of about 3700 gallons used every minute or about 222,000 gallons per hou'r. (With this huge amount of water the necessity of the new storage tank is evident.) The new storage tank has been needed, according to Mr. Windley, for about two years. Coming from the tank are two supply lines. One line is 16 inches in-ches in diameter and runs from Spring Creek to 900 E and Center Street and then turns North. The other line is a 12 inch pipe which will supply water to the industrial park development north of Springville. Mr. Windley stated that the addition of the water storage tank will have no effect on increasing resident's water bills. The only noticable effect may be an increased pressure in the water lines in some areas. The Springville water department is hoping to obtain additional wells or additional property on which to drill for wells. They will then cap the wells for future use. The department is currently being restricted from developing additional ad-ditional wells by the state, engineering department which is limiting well development to private individuals. The city is also looking into the development of spring water. The city water department consists of eight full time employees who handle all maintainence and installation on the water system. Besides the two water tanks and miles of water line, there are two clorination water stations. These facilities automatically clorinated the incoming water by injecting clorine gas into it as it passes through the plant. Council members alter parking times Springville's City Council met Tuesday evening, July 19 and discussed time limitations to be set on parking stalls surrounding the city building, the of Hobble Creek Boy Scouts Camp and the reinstalls tion of a stop sign on 400 N. 88 E. Changes were made conerning the time city residents could park in certain cer-tain parking stalls. The first limitation was placed on vehicles in the three parking stalls located on the North side of 100 So., immediately east of the exit road from the drive-in service window and parking lot at the Springville Civic Center. These stalls will be restricted to not more than 30 minutes parking time per auto and will be in effect between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Parking restrictions will also affect autos in the east four parkins stalls located along the North side of the parking lot west of the civic center. These stalls will be limited to 30 minutes between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. The limitations on these stalls are in effect all days except Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. Garbage collection halted for July 25 There will be no garbage collections made on Monday July 25th. All collections will be one day late the remainder of the week with Monday's collections being picked up on Tuesday, Tuesdays on Wednesday, etc. and Friday's collections being picked up on Saturday. Normal schedule will resume on Monday August 1. i
