The float THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1976 EullBfl mmm mmm Attention Y.M.CA Proposal, Pay Raises Also Discussed The American Fork City Council met Tuesday night under the direction of Mayor Malcolm H. Beck, with Council-men Council-men Evan Brady, Donald Fox, David L. Greenwood, LaDell E. Terry and Rodney Turner reporting on their departments and participating in the decision deci-sion making. Zone Change Approved On the recommendation of the planning commission the council approved a request for a change on Kay Mitani's property east of Reams from ..residential to commercial. Mr. Mitani plans to construct a nursery nur-sery at that location it was noted. Y.M.C.A. Proposal Dave Wilson, representing the Young Men's Christian Association, As-sociation, described activities it sponsors, and told the council the YMCA has been very successful suc-cessful in Salt Lake City and would like to expand to Utah County next year. Mr. Wilson suggested the possibility pos-sibility of using American Fork as headquarters for the activities, activi-ties, with BYU students working work-ing for masters degrees in recreation hired to work in the area. The old junior high school facilities could be used for this purpose, it was pointed out. "Most people in Utah County don't realize what YMCA is or does," Mr. Wilson said. It is a non-profit organization which receives funding from United Way and membership fees. The community runs its own facility facili-ty with a staff person to assist. The organization is non-denominational, non-denominational, but believes in maintaining values of Christianity Chris-tianity and standards of good behavior. Garth Read, a former councilman coun-cilman attending the meeting, said he has visited YMCA facilities faci-lities in other areas and appreciated appre-ciated the friendly atmosphere. He said he would like to see it come to American Fork. It would help the community in many ways, Mr. Read said, does not know if the people of his city are in favor of the project. Consequently, he has arranged ar-ranged for a public hearing to be held in his city on July 29 to determine whether or not Pleasant Plea-sant Grove citizens are in favor of supporting the four-city project or paying more for an updated version of their present sewer plant. Councilman Frank Mills said Monday that he had fears that the city would have "to pay for something they didn't want." if the citizens of his city voted the measure down. He said that if one city did not approve the project, it would require the other cities to go through the same procedure of planning for the sewer district once again. Mayor Malcolm Beck of American Fork asked the TPA members to support the sewer was ridden by Geniel Hatch and Belva Dean Francom and featured the bicentennial colors. The Miss Provo float won the Governor's Trophy and the including involving non-LDS people in the acitivities. ' Councilman Turner questioned ques-tioned Mr. Wilson about several facets of the program, including includ-ing costs, organization, and programs. Mr. Wilson said costs will depend on the type of programs the community decides to have. If the gymnasium at the school can be used, for instance in the basketball program, the cost for each boy to join would be from eight to ten dollars for a uniform, manual and certificate. certifi-cate. In camping programs the costs would depend on whether they were day camps or overnight over-night camps. Mr. Wilson explained that the programs are very reasonable for the services nerfnrmed. and ----T-. - . v-.-t". rr. are tadored to meet the needs of the community. In most cases, he said, the activities are a good tool for the police department. The YMCA gives the department a good opportunity to work with youngsters and give them a good image of the police. The activities help keep young people out of trouble, and reward good behavior, Mr. Wilson noted. Mayor Beck asked Harvey Hansen, recreation board member to meet with Mr. Wilson Wil-son to discuss the old junior high school facilities further. City Pay Raise Mayor Beck informed some of the city employees visiting council meeting, that the six and a half percent pay raise approved at the budget hearing, hear-ing, will be a straight across-the-board raise, with some adjustments ad-justments made in certain departments. The council passed a motion to freeze the step system for further study and clarification and make a decision at a later date whether to eliminate or implement it. This does not do away with the merit system, Mayor Beck explained. The pay scale will still be in effect. The step system, however, has some drawback to it that the council wants to discuss. Concert Mayor Beck said the Air mmmmmmmssmsmmt district and allow the citizens of each community make their will known in a bond election. He said that the cities would, not be able to offset the cost of the project with the 75 percent funding by the EPA if any of the four cities were to vote the measure down. Mayor Beck declared that the four-city project is the least costly method for the consumer. Mayor Don Christiansen of Alpine moved that the TPA wait until Pleasant Grove had held their public hearing until they proceed further with a bond election. The TPA will hold its regular meeting on August 4 when final plans for the bond election will be announced. Previously, TPA officials had projected the bond election for sometime in Au gust.

Problems on Main Street Mr. Read asked the councils help in solving the problems of "hoodlumsville" on Main Street after 12 midnight. He explained that many of the merchants were upset with the drinking, vandalism, and other mischief. Cars also race up and down Main Street.

Mayor Beck said he agreed it was "highly disgusting" to see whats going on.

Paul Durrant and submit recommendations on solving the problem at council meeting in two weeks. 1 UVIDA Dick Bradford, UVIDA, reported on the goals, accomplishments accom-plishments and expectations of that organization.
