Show If Wednesday, March 3, 1 974 ; Page 1 10 Details of City Council Meeting The following topics were discussed at the City Council meeting of March 7, 1974 : An agreement between the mining companies, the Resort, the State Water Resources Board and Park City is in the mill to upgrade our present water system . Plans for drilling a new drift and renovating the water supply system are now in the preparatory stages. State funding will make up three fourths of the total cost of the plan, pending final approval of the State Water Resources Board, and work will commence within a minimum of 90 days. There is a possibility that the plan could be completed within six months. The final studies concerning the Snyderville Basin Sewer Improvement Plan have been completed. The council is in the process of deciding on the best financial procedure to follow to effect the new sewage disposal plan. The citys auditors, Elmer Fox and Company, are reviewing the funds in the municipal accounts ahd are attempting to reconstruct the use of the funds in the citys best interests. The contract with Gene Carr and the Architects Planners Alliance was approved. The contract purposes to update our present zoning ordinances (construct a new zoning format); create a contemporary process of evaluation for new construction; and improve on and facilitate the processing of zoning ordinances. The problem of how to deal with the processing of building applications in the meantime will remain unsolved and no building applications affecting density zoning or increased draws on the water and sewer systems will be considered. Four business applications under consideration were tabled pending further investigation relating to the Question of water usage. Funding for the contract will come from a federal agent. Wayne Matthews, former City Manager of West Jordan, Utah, near the Cenegon Mine, was appointed Park Citys new City Manager. Mr. Matthews was selected from a multitude of applicants. The Council will discuss further and define more definitely Mr. Matthews' exact obligations and responsibilities to the Council at their next meeting. 3 BILL DUDLEY- - MR. CLEAN Whether he realizes it or not, Bill Dudley knows a lot of people in town. This is due to the fact that he is the maintenance man at the Memorial Building, where many of us go to play basketball or bowl or what have you. Bill hasn't always been at the Memorial Building. A native of Salem, Utah, in the Provo Valley, leasing" and had signed with the company, but when the -- Bill first came to Park City to work in the Silver King Mine right after Christmas in 1926. Later, he moved down to B.S. North Smelter, now Kennecott Copper, outside of Salt Lake City, where he worked until the strike which took place in July of 1951. The union told him if he could find another job he'd better take it because the strike was going to last a long time. Well, Bill found another job, but the strike lasted only about two weeks, not what afyoud call a long, drawn-ou- t the at the foreman fair. He knew Silver King so he was put back to work the same night. Unfortunately, the Silver King was only open for fourteen months after he started work so he moved to the Mayflower Mine, then owned by New Park Miners Company. He was there for about five years as a kind of all-arou- miner, doing drilling, timbering, and handling drifts and stopes you name it and he did it if it had to do with the mines. Then the Mayflower decided to try to lease biit the mining, that is, pay the miners on a percentage basis instead of giving hourly wages. Bill thinks that this was their way of trying to weed out some of the real old timers that were trying stay on. He and some other fellows were all set to go miners got to work the next day, a picket line had been set up. Bill turned around and went home. He hasn't been back to the mines since. When Bill got back to town, he went to the old Utah Coal & Lumber yard, was hired and worked there for about a year. The job didnt w'ork out, so he rustled some construction work in Salt Lake for a while and then went to mine out a dome of iron ore in for MacFarland-Hollinge- r. Wyoming This job was also shortlived so he went back to work in Salt Lake, this time for Tempest Pipelines. They were responsible for putting in many of the gas lines that run from Tooele to Ogden. Some of their lines run even as far as Park City and Kamas. After working for Tempest for eight years and being laid on and off towards the end of that time, Bill decided it was time to find something more reliable. He saw the Cest Bon being built where he managed to talk himself into the job of maintenance mam After a while, he applied for the same job at the Memorial building. When that job came through, in July of 68, he decided that two years had been long enough at the Cest Bon. Bill admits that the Memorial Building occupies a great deal of his time, and the condition of the building reflects it. There has been a lot of repair work done on the inside of the building, and although it has taken a great deal of time, its apparent that Bill has taken pride in his work.
