Principal Tim Brantley has asked Linda Parry to form a committee of citizens inter-ested in helping with the year-long celebration. Throughout the coming year, the Timpano-go- s Times will be publishing a number of articles highlighting the history of the high school. Citizens interested in helping with this historic effort can reach Linda Parry at Her email address is lparryalpinedistrict.org. The recently remodeled high school on Battle Creek Drive has served the people of this community for over 50 years. Prior to 1960 the high school was located in the downtown area. The current fire station and recreation cen-ter are portions of the old high school still standing. The small building west of the recreation center cncc served as the LDS seminary. It was acquired by the 'school district when the high school was turned into a junior high school and the new high school was built on Battle Creek Drive. The story of a school is far more than the story of bricks and mortar. It is the story of individual lives and really the story of a community. Locked inside the walls of Pleasant Grove High School are the old yearbooks. It has been said that a picture is worth a thou-sand words and there are thou-sands of photos and tidbits of history in the covers of those books. During the coming year you will be given access to those books. You will learn of victory and defeat, of war and peace. You will read the story of poverty and disease. In this history is the story of love and heartache. The story of Pleasant Grove schools is a story that reflects the faith and determi- - Pleasant Grove High School looks much more modern after its recent renovation and expansion.

If there was anything lovely, praiseworthy, or of good re-port they sought it. From very humble beginnings a very modern and world class school system has emerged over the years. We hope you will enjoy learning more about the history and also help celebrate such a wonder-ful milestone.

' - i t ! i i City Council Passes Resolution For Water Rates Pleasant Grove City Coun-cil passed a resolution last week which adjusts the fee schedule for pressurized irrigation sys-tem monthly water rates, es-tablishing a policy for granting credit for use of water shares, and establishing a policy for de-livery of privately owned water shares through the pressurized water system. This resolution came about as a result of several public meetings to help the citizens understand the fee schedule that was needed. The rate change becomes effective in July of this year. It adjusts the fee schedule for pressurized irrigation sys-tem monthly water rates, es-tablishes a policy for granting credit for use of water shares, and establishes a policy for de-livery of privately owned water shares through the pressurized water system. It was noted that the city has completed a pressurized ir-rigation system and rate analy-sis which projects an estimate of future accounts and water use, an estimate and allocation of fu-ture costs and the development of a rate structure that will meet the city's revenue needs. The newly approved rates are: residential rates for 2012 for under .50 acre are $20.85 per ' month in 2012, $24.50 in 2013, and $27.75 in 2014. Those who have .50 acres to .99 acres would pay $24.96 per month in 2012, $29.37 in 2013, and $33.65 in 2014. For those who have one acre and over the rates will be $29.07 in 2012, $34.25 in 2013, and $39.54 in 2014. The commercial base rates for parcels in excess of 1.5 ir-rigable acres, including schools, churches and agricultural would be the same as above. However, the fee per square foot would be $0.2035 in 7012, $0. 4070 in 2013, and $0.6104 in 2014. Those who qualify for resi-dential reduced rates for irriga-tion water who have under .50 acres will pay $16.68 in 2012, $19.60 in 2013, and $22.20 in 2014. Those with .50 acres to .9999 acres will pay $19.97 in 2012, $23.50 in 2013, and $26.92 in 2014. Those with over one acre will pay $19.97 per month in 2012, $27.40 in 2013, and $31.63 in 2014. The new policy indicates that the city wants to be fair and equitable to all users and promotes conservation of wa-ter. After consideration of the city's present pressurized irri-gation system analysis, the city council found and determined that it is in the best interests of the health, safety and gen-eral welfare of its current and future residents to adopt this resolution adjusting the pres-ent fee schedule, takes into account circumstances which have arisen whereby certain property owners who own ten acres or more within the city and also have pressurized irri-gation available, desire to uti-lize the city's system to deliver privately owned water, and the city desires to establish a pol-icy establishing guidelines for these circumstances, and as the city desires to rent water shares from private individuals in cer-tain circumstances to provide additional water for use in the pressurized irrigation system. Other items listed include agricultural uses in which prop-erty owners who use the pressur-ized irrigation to water agricul-tural uses will be charged at the commercial rate. Agricultural uses is defined for purposes of this resolution as those proper-ties listed as "green belt" status on the records of Utah County. Pleasant Grove City will rent irrigation shares from prop-erty owners who want to rent irrigation shares to the city. The property owners will pay their pressurized irrigation bill to the city. The city will pay the annual operation and main-tenance costs to the irrigation company as rent for use of the water shares. Administration of the credit will be worked out by agreement between the city and water share holder. In regards to the uses of pressurized irrigation system for delivery of individually owned water shares, property owners who desire to use the city's pressurized irrigation system to deliver individually owned water shares may do so under the following circum-stances: a. The property being serviced must be a total of five acres or more; b. water shares must be assigned to the city for use; c. the city will pay the an-nual operation and maintenance charges on the water shares as-signed; d. The charge for said services are $10 per month per acres in 2011; $15 per month per acre for 2012; and $20 per month per acre for 2013. There is a severability clause which states that the sec-tions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, and phrases of this resolution are severable. If any such section, paragraph, sen-tence, clause, or phrase shall be declared invalid or unconstitu-tional by the valid judgement or "decree" of Court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not af-fect the validity of constitution-ality of any of the remaining sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases of this resolu-tion.
