Messenger-Gunniso- n dents as well as a letter from legal counsel Mitch Maughan The concerns include the absence of a collector road additional traffic planning for street access street width and regard for safety of current residents “If there were an additional 18 homes in the area it would equate to possibly two cars per family which would be an added burden on the existing roads” llugentobler pointed out “1 believe that have the right to develop their property” he said “but the general plan should be followed and the development should not fringe on the neighbors” "There have been mistakes made in the past due to landowners trying to make a buck” Hugentobler further added Hugentobler stated the residents feel needed improvements should be the responsibility of the developer The letter from Attorney Maughan cautioned Manti City Council that the development should not violate existing ordinances and that health and safety issues are addressed before permission is granted for development of the subdivision Furthermore the subdivision should be in harmony with the city’s general plan “I hope that the members of the council do not take this as a stated affront” personal Hugentobler “but as a concern for the safety and welfare of the residents of the area” “I appreciate the concerns of responded your neighborhood” Mayor Anderson “and we will try to come up with a solution that will be best for everyone" “There are eight proposed homes not 18” added the Mayor “It is a balancing act but as long as the general plan is followed there should be no problem” The 18 homes Hugentobler alluded to include both phases of the overall proposed subdivision City Administrator Bill Mickelson informed the council that under state law an ordinance must be passed by the council in regards to the drinking water in Manti “The ordinance is enforczone required by ing a state law to protect the drinking water" staled Mickelson The state mandates guidelines to insure no septic tanks or sewers seep into the water system and that the city maintains high standards in the quality of the culinary system The motion was made and passed to adopt the Manti City Drinking Water Source Protection Ordinance Interest has been expressed in developing an industrial park south 800 Manti at approximately of South between 5th West and US 89 “The demand right now is ex- traordinary” explained Mayor Anderson “When I get inquiries now all I can do is refer them to the landowners” The consensus of the council is to acquire 25 acres in the area for development of the industrial park Council member Diane need for bilingual employees is not something that happens every day but the council agreed to send two people to a Spanish course A motion was made and passed to confirm a “land exchange" to accommodate the new aquatic center The properties consist of 25 acres east of the exhibitors building where the antique tractor show was during the county fair in exchange for 3 acres near the sewer lagoons north of town Mickelson stated "The county has been very accommodating in this transaction and we appreciate their Keeler expressing favor of the development stated “If we are going to do it let’s do it with pride If there is going to be infrastructure we should do it right with lights help” and landscaping” Planning the infrastructure would include layouts for water sewer and highway access Other items to be addressed are traffic make sense to shorten the miles covered by garbage trucks” explained Lund The proposal is to have all residents place their trash receptacles on the same side of the street on garbage day This would include north and south routes as well as east and west The locations will and safety issues finding a funding package and marketing the area with a price that is realistic “If we price it too high potential businesses will go el sewhere” cautioned Anderson The council discussed approval of city staff attending a Spanish course Councilman Alan “There are Justesen suggested learning programs on the computer Also there that may be an option are people in town who would be willing to act as translators when the need arises" he added Mickelson clarified that the Councilman Larry Lund made a proposal to the council concerning garbage collection “With gas it would prices ever increasing be determined and residents will be informed in advance if and when this change will take place In some areas the proposal is not possible or feasible and those areas will be excluded from this plan The Exchange Club will once again provide ‘Trunk orTreat” for a Halloween celebration on Oct 30 Mayor Anderson invited the Aquatic Board as well as the Manti City Youth Council to participate Ephraim may change employee benefits By John Hales Staff writer EPHRAIM — Ephraim may change its policy regarding benefits for city employees according to a discussion at the city council meeting Oct 20 The current policy allows employees working 20 hours per week or more to receive benefits such as retirement and health inin proportion to the surance hours worked The city is considering raising the qualifying minimum to 30 hours per week The city would also cover benefit premiums in an amount commensurate to the requirement City manager Richard brought up the issue looking ahead at the potential cost to the city if the policy is not changed He said only one employee is currently receiving benefits but that several othAnderson ers are approaching the limit Anderson told the council “Thirty hours seems to be the standard in private industry” and one council member said that it is also the standard Snow College uses in dispensing benefits to employees The council tabled the proposal for further consideration but seemed inclined to adopt it The council also declined action on a policy proposal regarding employee recognition Under the policy proposed by Anderson an employee would receive particular recognition — of a suat the recommendation pervisor — for going “above and beyond the normal duties ex- pected for the position” Anderson noted that the city does not have an program To qualify for special recognition an employee must have performed a task that required independent initiative and judgment w as outside the bounds of normal job responsibilities sav ed the city money or prevented accident and injury and required extra effort (Zk on the part of the DISPERSION employee The recognized employee would receive a gift of appreciation of up to $50 The proposal will be discussed and decided upon at a future meeting In other council matters Anderson suggested the council adopt an ordinance regarding extensions beyond power-lincity limits Anderson said there have been several requests for the city to run power to homes outside the city He proposed an ordinance explaining that homeowners or water could be collected by a sump owned by UDOT said UDOT reAnderson quires that a permit application be submitted to use its sump but that UDOT has given verbal approval for the plan To run the drainage line however the city needs to gain utility easements along a property line that runs cast to west from the subdivision to the highway The council discussed on which side of the property line an If other homes hook up to the power line during that time the original dev eloper would receive commensurate compensation from the city Anderson had originally intended the contracts to last for five years but the city’s utility board recommended contracts of 10 years The board gave approval for the ordinance otherwise Anderson also said he had discussed the ordinance proposal with Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems which owns and manages the Nebo Power Station from which the city gets power and that they approved of the idea as well The council referred the ordinance to the city’s attorney to assure its legality and proper wording A public hearing on the issue will be held later The council also discussed another Arrested: Marla Jo Hamilton Address: Fui Green Date of Arrest: 102404 Location of Arrest: Ml Pleasant Charges: Aggravated Assault Bail: $5000
