Show Council rejects license X The West Jordan City Council denied a cabaret and beer license for J & J Enterprises during their Aug. 25 meeting. City Manager Allan Tolman explained that the American Legion Club currently has a similar license for their hall at 7760 S. 3200 W. The club is planning on moving and J & J Enterprises requested the license for the site. Both Tolman and Public Safety Director Kal Farr recommended denial because "there are enough licensed premises in the city."

The projected cost of the new 2S.5 million gallon per day plant, spread out over the next six years, was set at $52.18 million. The engineers also noted that if South Valley could obtain the funds now and begin building today the entire plant could be built over a 30 month period at a savings of $7 million. But the flow of matching funds from the EPA is strung out over a five year period, forcing South to build only as the money comes in. It was cuts in the amount of federal matching funds proposed by the Reagan administration that promoted the South Valley engineering review. Where as the current split was 75 percent federal and 25 percent local money, beginning in October of 1961 it will be 5050. If the board opts for the new plant it would have to come up with an extra $10.8 million they didn't expect to need. However, should they decide to go for upgrading current facilities, the EPA would not participate at all.

Dividing up the entire $52.18 price tag, EPA's share would be $29.4 million, South Valley's $22.78. Breaking up the $22.78 figure further, the costs for South Valley's entities would be for District One, $7,152,000 $8,702,000 for West Jordan City; $4,463,000 for Sandy Suburban; $2,679,000 for District Two; and $1,784,000 for Midvale City. If the affected entities decided to go ahead with the new plant and bond for the extra $10.8 million, they could either float a general obligation bond, which would have to first be okayed by a vote of the people, or a revenue, which doesn't require a vote. G. O. bonds could be retired with a property tax levy or fees for service, revenue bonds by the revenues of the district, coming from fees for service assessed to each entity. By 1986 the projected monthly service charges per residential customer would be $16.60 in District One, $14.90 in West Jordan, $8.90 in Sandy, $10 in District Buried sidewalks.

The Sandy figure is considered low and could be adjusted upward. The average charge would be $12.40, $3.40 of which would go toward retiring the bonds used in making up that $10,800,000 difference. The engineers also reported that at present the existing facilities, the Midvale and Sandy plants are just barely able to hand the flows and meet the less stringent 2525 treatment standard. However, by 1993 the flows are expected to climb from the current 14.5 million gallons per day to 25.5 mgd and standards to tighten to 1010. The engineers feel that by early 1984 50 percent of the 25.5 mgd capacity on the planned new plant could be on line, enabling South Valley to shut down the Midvale aeration lagoons. The lagoons are on rental property and the lease period is due to end soon. The entire 25.5 mgd plant would be completed sometime in 1966 when the Midvale and Sandy plants would be phased out. 55, commissioner, Dunn was mayor of Murray City, where he and his wife, Norma, now live.

The above statement was made in summation of a report given by project engineers before the South Valley Waste Water treatment board and other affected area officials in an open information meeting held last Thursday, Aug. 20. The report reflected the contention by engineers that a new regional treatment is still the most cost effective way to handle increased sewer flows and tougher federal water treatment standards.

Stewart and Barker said they intend to submit their list of names to the Salt Lake County Republican Central Committee for endorsement as soon as possible, so they can fill the vacancy quickly. Dunn said he wanted to leave soon enough to allow his successor to participate in preparing the 1962 budget. Counties operate on a calendar year and adopt their budgets in December. "The voters, in their wisdom, selected two outstanding commissioners in the last election Bart Barker and Mike Stewart," Dunn said. "I feel good about leaving the county in capable han- ds." Stewart and Barker said they were thrilled at the opportunity Dunn has been offered, but they regret the loss of his leadership and stability. Dunn has four children and three grandchildren.

The Draper Public Works Director and his crew found an old sidewalk running along the south side of the old Draper roundhouse park last week. As far as anyone knows, it had been buried for thirty or forty years. On Wednesday, city crews dug ten inches and unearthed a complete block of cement. The discovery was initiated when parents and school officials met to discuss safe routes for children to walk to school and the need for more sidewalks. insisted there already was a stretch of sidewalk along 12660 South at about 900 East leading to "Old-timer- s" Draper Elementary. "We knew it was there," John Enniss stated. The g Draper resident could remember walking on it and had his men haul away the several truckloads of dirt life-lon- and rocks it took to clear the path. The Old Park sidewalk is not the only "treasure" crews plan to dig up. This week, men plan to uncover a stretch of sidewalk along State Street at about 11800 South which Enniss' wife can remember walking on as a child but which is no longer visible to the passerby. And, throughout the city, public work employes are cleaning off and hosing down sidewalks. After this project is completed, it will be the responsibility of property owners to see that they are properly maintained. While Enniss admits that there has been an ordinance which required property owners to take care of the walkways for a long time, until now, it's been a little hard to enforce. "But we're going to start," he added. 4 w 1' Draper Public Works Director John Enniss shows the level of dirt and grass before his crews dug out the sidewalk at the Old Roundhouse park.
