In other business, Klane Forsegren, For-segren, an electrical engineer, met with the council and discussed increasing in-creasing the city's power generation capacity. The project could be completed as soon as the fall of 1984 and he indicated that now is the time to move on the project because of favorable interest rates, only a nine-month nine-month waiting period for electrical generating equipment, and relatively low construction costs at the present time. The city council will meet again on the matter in two weeks. Citizen concern A group of citizens also met wit!-, the council to express concern about the construction of up to 14 duplex housing units in their neighborhood south of 700 South and west of 550 East behind the Sage Creek School. A spokesman, Dave Gardner, for the Cambridge Hills Subdivision explained the project and showed drawings for the type of construction planned in the area. The area was zoned some four years ago to allow constuction of duplexes in this section of the city. The citizens are concerned that should the project be built, most of me units would become owned by absentee owners, become run down and thus decrease property values in the area and create traffic congestion because of the increased population density. The council took the matter under advisement and instructed the planning commission to investigate further. In other matters, the council granted a business license to Glenn A. Smith to operate a bookkeeping and tax service business at 343 South Main in the C & A Development building; and to Daymon Stephens at the Sage Creek Market. He is the new owner, manager of the market. Council also purchased an advertisement ad-vertisement in the Daily Herald Progress Edition after a discussion with Dan Flanagan, Herald sales representative. The council also discussed ways of getting funds for the development of Jolly Park from the state and federal government. Application will be made to the Utah State Natural Resource and Energy Department for matching funds. A Salt Lake City woman, Mrs, Bess Potts, 68, 1585 W.

Wiscombe will fill the unexpired term of Collin Allan, Mayor Johnson said. Allan resigned several months ago. One more appointment is yet to be announced on the board. Leah Gifford and Kathryn Allman were appointed to the Utah County Council of Arts and Humanities. In a move that could have far reaching benefit to the city, council voted to form a utility review committee. Larry Haines was approved ap-proved to be the first committee member and was asked to lead out to get a committee organized. Haines spoke of possible power sources that could be considered for the city.' In many cases utility rates can be locked in for ten or more years, Haines said. As inflation increases, the city could sell this power at increasing in-creasing higher prices, thus bringing great returns to the city in future years, he explained. It is extremely important to lay the proper groundwork and take action as needed years in advance, Haines said, explaining that he was fully aware of the potential problems that the city might encounter en-counter as discussions get underway following a decision such as this.
