"They're just helping us get to the people." Councilman Hembury suddenly at 58 meetings says that any elected board actions should be taken openly and that the deliberation be conducted openly. A hypothetical case can demonstrate the way that any elected board, whether it be a school board, a city council, or a county commission can get itself into a position that some day it may not be able to retreat from. Say that an employe of the government agency commits a crime while he is employed by that agency and the governing board learns of it but decides that the best thing to do is ask the employe to resign and even though the crime is serious, tnat employe is freed to go on to another position and maybe commit the crime again.

H. postage paid s State takes over 9000 S. for arterial schedule announced three and a half indecision and After Midvale City will initiate clean-uon November 1 this year, to run through Nov. 19. As in year's past the fall 197fi months p of many meetings, Sandy City Council voted, four to one, to exchange with Utah Department of Transportation, the 9000 S. street improvements with the State's proposed 9400 S. arterial plans so that the State project can be placed on the agenda. It is possible that it may take up to 10 years before the 9000 S. arterial improvements will begin. In a lengthy public meeting Wednesday evening, Oct. 20, the council heard mostly from people interested in what would be happening to 9400 S. street going into the Granite area. Several residents felt that the arterial should be planned south of the areas in question, with anothpr off ramp planned at 10000 S. Another resident felt that the old Alta train track (ed and right of way should be purchased and used for the arterial. It was the consensus of the 100 people attending that an arterial is needed right away city will be divided into thirds with each part being scheduled for one of the three weeks. During the first week, all of the city West of the freeway will be handled; the second week, all areas of the city South of Wasatch and East of the freeway; the third week will take in the remainder of the city, specifically North of Wasatch Street and East of the freeway. Trash and rubbish must be piled at the curb, as no city trucks can enter private property. Citizens are asked to make all garbage is in containers or bags and that limbs must be cut into lengths of no more than four feet and tied in bundles. No one may put garbage on the curb earlier than the Saturday prior to the clean-uschedule for that area. sure p to take care of the congestion which now exists at intersections. Police Chief Lancaster reported that there has been 180 increase percent in traffic accidents at the 9400 S. and 700 E. intersection alone, not to mention accidents at 9000 S. (700 S.) and 700 E. intersection. The plan finally adopted, after much discussion, was the arterial indicated on Concept 2000 plan developed by city planner Ed James and his staff. The arterial of begins at the and will extend to approximately 1200 E. and 9400 S. It will be necessary to widen 700 S. (9000 S.) from State St. to 700 E. county, and develop a new highway across 700 E. to 1200 E. and 9400 S. At this point 9400 S. will be improved by the state extending their improvements through Granite. All of these improvements will be a State project. The widening of 9000 S. will affect about 27 homes and the project will cost p approximately $1.6 million. Sandy City will take over improvement of 9400 S. from State St. to 1300 E., using s existthe same ing along the street. This was promised by Mayor Dewey Bluth as soon as funds become available in the Sandy road funds. right-of-way- Councilman Roger Mecham voted no on the decision made by the council. He felt he needed more time-tconsider the alternatives, especially since the state would not move on the city's decision for at least 10 years. Each of the councilmen expressed their concern because of what will be happening to many of the Sandy residents affected by their decision but felt that a decision had to be made now forthe good of the city. Some of the residents asked that the city get on the state's books now in asking for another arterial improvement in the southern part of Sandy before it gets much later.
