He was advised the only solution to have sidewalks is through a sidewalk development project. He asked the council to take this under advisement as well as the speeding of vehicles on this street. COUNCILMAN Gerald Purdy suggested Mr. Jensen talk to the property owners with regards to the sidewalks. Police Chief Lyle Larkins said he would send a radar unit there and check the speeding situation and if it warrants periodic patrol he will arrange it. R.E. Stephens asked the council members to inform him if there is a water shortage in our city or not. If there is a water shortage, why does the council continue to annex subdivisions and issue building permits. THE MAYOR advised him that there is definitely a water shortage. We will only be delivered 60 percent of our contracted amount of water from Weber Basin. The city does not have any other source of water. They have drilled several dry wells, so the possibility of a well is not good in this area, so the situation could get worse this year if the drought continues. However, he will keep in constant touch with Weber Basin to see if there is any change.
