' : CENTERVILLE Strange things happen at Centerville City Council meetings. Like the mayor said a few months back, Keep coming to our meetings, Gary, you can never tell what will happen. AND ONE of the strangest things I have experienced in more than 20 years of newsnot once, but paper reporting did happen twice, and in successive weeks. The oddity occurred during the last two meetings when the city council took action on a proposal to rezone a lot on the southeast corner of Parrish Lane and Main Street. Property owners were seeking to rezone from Agruciltural-1- , which it has been for many years, to Commercial-- 1 for the purpose of constructing a professional building on the site. BRIEFLY, the oddity of the council vote which created considerable confusion was two council members voting in favor of the rezoning, one voting against, one abstaining and one council member was absent. The question that arose is simply what constitutes a majority vote of the council? Are two votes sufficient to carry the motion for rezoning? CITY ATTY. Keith Stahle opinioned last Tuesday that a majority vote of the council needed to adopt a rezoning would be three, that two votes would not constitute a majority of the governing body of the city council." Thus, for two consecutive meetings the motion to rezone the property was defeated vote. by a very unusual unusual council vote and the confusion that it caused is just the beginning, according to property owners. When the first vote was taken three weeks ago, Mayor Golden Allen BUT THE thought although acting in good faith that the vote of the four council members MAYOR ALLEN then, again in good faith, told the property owners that the rezoning had passed and they could go ahead with the development plans for a new professional building. Property owners Jean Marshall and Beth Jarman then left the meeting thinking they had the green light to proceed with development. Now the question arises: Who is at fault for any expenses that may have incurred since the Sept. 3 council meeting? THUS, THE vote had to be two in favor and one against. And the mayor, by state statute, can vote only in the event of a tie vote among four council members. This was not the case in either the first or second of this rezoning proposal. So the "black sheep I am for doing a job of interpretive reporting, of getting to the bottom of the case even though it may create problems. PROPERTY owners have alleged that they were never contacted by city officials or anyone else about the mistake" in voting procedure. They said they read about it first in the Clipper. Weve put out a lot of money in detold by velopment plans, etc., since being successwas the that rezoning the mayor ful, said Mrs. Jarman. Now it appears that all we can do is seek legal counsel and I take the city to court. for not informthe improper of owners the property ing action taken at the first meeting, thus IS THE city responsible allowing them (property owners) to proceed with development plans? this reporProperty owners also accuse and mess the stirring up a ter of creating council on its problem by challenging the vote. Had this reporter not questioned the action, they claim, there wouldnt have been any problem and their property would have been rezoned per the first council vote. THIS MAY be true. But first, I did not I actually challenge the council vote. queswas vote the which in the tioned procedure taken, that is the final result of the voting. As I wrote the story the day following the mind the meeting, I questioned in my own because vote a to cast the of mayor right all." BUT WHAT would have happened if laafter the building was under conter a neighbor struction or even completed decided he did not like what had been done and searched the minutes to determine the legality of the vote. Its obvious, both in the council minutes and on tape, that the vote was improper. I think it best that the dispute or misunderstanding be clarified now rather than later. j IM SORRY for the property owners that they were told to go ahead with a commercial development and then be told that the council errored and that the action taken was not proper. Im convinced that the action of the council was in good faith, but good faith doesnt make things right and legal. Things could have been worse had the construction plans proceeded even further than they have already. IN MY opinion, the city could have been held liable for the mistake and all expenses that might have incurred after telling property owners that the decision was in their favor. Peronally, I think the mayor or someone should have informed the property owners immediately of the improper action taken in the first meeting. Perhaps they (city officials) thought the whole misunderstanding would be rectified at last weeks uE Aui Q,tf L-f- u Hltft IWUlPl, Pu-- - Pnlf La ita ft laiMrfy fXh dftf Pftf Riotuftutiift 1 if 1 ( 1'41lft ftfiuSiilrii, to toacif &.tt L 14 !A Ito tf I IlfcV U.f to NuotBft l3fy k& Ha fftftfll R.a till I (turn! tyitu to Raft P II tf f (frtWit (Saoili 17 ttotWii I a 66 A& A A ! ftnangf 1 fUUi K1IOOL tma r Aftoft! irn 6t$ Pd la toj'f&J Ha tf siftSitiiil ja (1 f IftiwtU to (KnA li LtoS AftsusaiUiiA, l4m Wy ts I fftRa-- d toocs, pfeyucaJ wcfig'R. r.

Federal power was a real and grave danger to be prevented, in Article 1 Sec. 8 the very tew powers of the federal govern- ment are listed and then in order lo be doubly sure Article X of the Bill of Rights limited it again. OUR CONSTITUTION must be preserved but it will require study, work and diligence on all our parts. It cannot be left to someone else. It is up to each one of us. This Constitution Week is the time to start, read and study it. Fly your flag. Betty Hansen Vice Regent Sego Lily Chapter, DOAR meeting, that the rezoning would be approved. BUT IT wasnt, the vote was exactly the same although the councilman who abstained one week was absent the following ' week and the councilman absent the first week abstained the following meeting, (see front-pag- e story for actual voting. I guess the sad thing about this whole saga is that property owners must now wait one year before again applying for rezoning of that lot. r ! Lit p n lit (A?

THERE IS no place in society for vandalism vandalism of any.kind. But the vandalism at these two dealership is the worst I believe I have ever witnessed. More than 125 vehicles, some of them 1981 model Lincolns and Chevrolets, were damaged in just" a few minutes of prank for one or a few persons. The liquid spray put on the cars will necessitate some of the cars being repainted, not just where the spray was placed but the entire car. One dealer estimated the cost to be an average of $300 per car and there were 68 cars in voved thats a total of more than $20,000! AT TONY Price Chevrolet, 123 vehicles were involved. I dont know how much it will cost to repair the damage. Were having an adjuster take inventory now, said Tony. Owners of both dealerships have offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the culprits. This is a generous offer, but only peanuts compared to the absolute senseless vandalism caused by these pranksters. Lack Of Federal Funds Cancel Dog Proposal -- By MARK D. MICKELSEN CLEARFIELD The state has denied approval of a $5,000 grant to buy a marijuanasniffing dog for the Clearfield police department. ACCORDING to Police states law enforcement officials Chief Daren Green, the scrapped the proposal due to a of federal money. He said Congress, after 1980, will no longer be appropriating money under the Law Enforcement Assistance Act, and that all funding previously funneled out from the states LEAA fund will be handled through the Salt Lake Criminal Justice Office. Chief Green asked for and received approval on the grant from the Region Two Council on Criminal Justice earlier in August, but met with failure as Tack the state decided adequate funds were not available for the dog purchase. THE POLICE department, according to Mr. Green, has been deficient in the manpow- er to handle the narcotics cases. He said something has to be done soon, and explained that he will push for an adequate amount of money from next years city budget to handle the cost of the purchase. The city council has been supportive of the plan, he said, and gave encouragement for the project when the subject first arose several months ago. I dont plan to give up the he added, saying the idea, purchase of the dogs will be on the police departments high priority list with regard to the budget. THE POLICE chief said the Davis County Sheriffs department is stepping up their enforcement for drug crimes. He hopes this will help outlying communites as well, but is skeptical and wants a canine addition in Clearfield, at whatever cost. Though he says he has not pushed the budget matter with the council yet, Chief Green is optimistic that the money will be allotted. He said in an ear- lier interview that the dogs cost approximately $4,000 a piece, the additional $1,000 used to pay the expenses of the officer assigned to pick up the animal, and the cost to continue through training with the dog. ACCORDING to Mr. Green the dogs have been used nationwide for several years. They are able to sniff out drugs in cars and houses without ever interferring with the rights of the owners, he noted, and are excellent drug prevention devices for schoolroom assemblies by the police department. Cases involving only narco- tics officers take longer periods of time, he said earlier, and the gathering of evidence is much more difficult. - |
