AN ORDINANCE for consideration con-sideration of removal of junk cars was also discussed, methods of removal, classification clas-sification as to what is junk, and legal action. Weed control was also included in this proposal. Control of public park activities ac-tivities was also considered. It was decided that the park should be closed from midnight mid-night to 6 a.m. No over night camping, but permits could be issued for scout groups or other organizations who might wish to participate in an overnight encampment. Other considerations were, no vehicles on the park, and control of alcoholic beverages. AN ORDINANCE to control door to door solicitors was also al-so considered. The city adopted a policy on this measure, about a year ago, and have further considered the need for an ordinance for enforcement. Solicitors will be required to fill out a personal information informa-tion sheet, and register with the city prior to any business transactions. They will also be required to furnish a picture pic-ture along with personal data, if the ordinance is adopted. Charitable and non-profit organizations or-ganizations would be exempt. ALSO considered for adoption adop-tion was an ordinance limiting limit-ing on the street parking of large trucks for any length of time, except for deliveries and pick-up by businesses. After lengthy discussion, it was determined that residential residen-tial areas are not the place for tankers or large transport vehicles. BUSINESSES who employ drivers have areas for these trucks to be parked, and city streets should be free of this traffic hazard, especially in residential areas. Harvey Price, an interested citizen attended the meeting to ask consideration for city participation in faulty sidewalks. He stated that many areas of the city have sidewalks in need of replacement, and suggested a policy be made for a 50-50 participation, by residents and the city, if at all possible. .THIS particular consideration considera-tion has been discussed at length in previous meetings, but due to the tight situation ' of the budget, a policy has not been completed. However, Dale Rees has met with Attorney Stahle for the drafting of such a policy, and this item will be included in the ordinance drafting as well as in the budget figures for the fiscal year 76-77. IT WAS discussed at length, guidelines as to citizen responsibility re-sponsibility and other unanswered unan-swered areas of concern, which will be considered as the ordinance is prepared. Mr. Price also asked the Council for consideration of off the street parking during day-time hours. He suggested that subdivisions have many small children, who dart in the streets, and parking causes traffic hazards in those areas. REALIZING that parking is a problem, the Council suggested sug-gested that residents use their own good judgement in this area. Use driveways when possible and keep streets clear for better visibility for both drivers and children. Weeds are being sprayed throughout the city by Delton Nelson and Charles Cerny for better control and a more beautiful landscape. They also al-so spent much time cleaning out the city's holding pond on 625 West 1500 South which has been used by many for a refuse dumping area. RESIDENTS are urged to dispose of debris at Bard, or through the regular garbage pickup, and not litter areas throughout the city. The Council voted to reverse action taken at a public hearing held April 6, when they denied a zone change at 2400 South 800 west. - v PROPERTY owners have agreed to several stipulations concerning that area, which include construction of a fence on the north boundary line; providing a protective covenant on the property, and completing construction of - Jwo duplexes within an 18 month period, as well as providing storm drainage on the west portion of the property. Request for a zone Change to R-2 for the frontage property was agreed to by a 4-1 vote, and the next 200 feet was changed from A-l to M-l, to match zones in surrounding surround-ing properties. .
