Show August 23, 1979 - The Springville Herald - Page Five Mapleton Council looks at animal control , By Dixie Welch A public hearing on changes in Mapleton's control laws will be held at 6:45 p.m. Sept. 4 to discuss disposal of vicious dogs and whether to require rabies shots. Also discussed at the City Council meeting August 21 were improvement of the water system, Utah County facility needs, complaints about sidewalk improvement district, negotiations for obtaining right of way on 1000 North Street, and expenses of legal defense. Police Chief Colianna suggested that because of the closeness to habitats of rabies prone skunks and other animals the Council should consider making it mandatory for dogs to be immunized. Recent cases of persons being bitten by dogs, including one in which a child received a serious permanent scar, have opened up the question of whether the present provision for vicious dogs is strong enough. The proposed agreement states that possession of a vicious dog (one which has bitten a human) is unlawful unless it is restrained, confined, or muzzled. Dogs in violation are to be disposed of after three days, the same as any dog found running loose, if not claimed. Inadequate water system A prepared statement concluding that the Mapleton City culinary water system is inadequate was read by Councilman Larry Haines as it is to be presented to the Planning Commission and again at a public hearing in September. Sep-tember. Application for water loan fund has been approved for staff investigation in-vestigation by the Utah State water board. Fire risks are greater in those areas of low water pressure, causing the fire insurance rates to be higher throughout the city. If repaires need to be made within the system as it presently stands, water service must be cut off to large sections of town until repairs are completed. Recommended solutions to the water problems were: y) Improve water collection at the canyon source, (2) Replace smaller distribution pipes with larger ones, (3) Construct a two million gallon reservoir at the mouth of the canyon, and (4) Arrange distribution pipes in loops so that a break in one part would 1 ' J water not disrupt flow of water to other areas. The cost of the above solutions is estimated at $1 million. The report, based on engineering studies by Dean K. Furhiman, states that only 40 percent of culinary water requirements are presently met by the canyon water source. At times, however, canyon water overflows the headhouse and is wasted. The city well, intended for emergency use, is operating frequently to fill in the balance of required water, at a high rate of electrical operating expense. The two, four, six and eight inch pipe lines present an unequal and inadequate distribution system causing in some parts of the citv low or zero water pressure at times of high demand. County facilities Utah County facilities are inadequate with a need for 42,000 square feet office space, reported Skip Predmore, one of twelve members of a Utah County Public Facilities Advisory Committee. The opinions were given as his alone since the committee is not yet ready to formulate report. Pedmore assessed the computor system to be efficient. Some buildings need to be demolished, he said, while other are very limited: In twelve years the count of registered voters has increased in-creased from 60,000 to 91,000. Court cases have increased four times in the same period. The most crucial need according to Predmore, is for a security tank and jail. The estimated cost of providing Utah County facilities as needed i $4'2 million. The council advised Predmore to re-evaluate the cost. Citizens protest Residents protesting the improvement im-provement district of sidewalks, curb and gutter along Maple, Main and 300 East streets appeared before the council, objecting to the cost required of them. Negotiations for right of way to extending ex-tending 1000 North for the flow of traffic in the area of the proposed junior high-middle high-middle school and LDS Stake Center are being carried on by Councilman Johnnie Bleggi. $15,000 is the cost of legal defense to date of city of court actions initiated by Glenn Seal, Councilman Colin Allan estimated. The State Supremem Court unanimously ruled the City innocent of charges on every count. A second suit is awaiting trial in District Court. Amanda Lee Prothero, daughter of Paul and Viva Prothero, South Jordan, reached her first birthday Aug. 21. Amanda is the granddaughter grand-daughter of Vivian Brown, Kiverton, and Beth Prothero of Springville. No man can be a patriot on an empty stomach. W.C. Brann I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred toward any one. Edith Cavell Congratulations on mill levy EDITORIAL We would like to say thanks to the Springville City Council who last week refused to raise the mill levy on property taxes under pressure from the state to do so. In the past, the state tax commission has instructed cities to figure 95 percent of the assessed valuation when applying the mill levey to determine how much revenue will be due the city. This is to allow people who do not pay their property taxes. This year the state tax commission lowered their percentage to 93.7 percent. If Springville City had followed this procedure it would take over 2 mills increase in-crease in the levey to bring the proposed budget back into balance. State law requires a balanced city budget. The city council refused to follow this procedure because past experience has proved out the 95 percent rate. The council feels that the present budget is sound and will produce the expected revenues thus being in balance. If it becomes apparent that the expected revenues are not going to be generated by next spring, then the budget will be reopened and cuts made to keep the city solvent. The city council felt that the lowering of the expected tax pay rate was merely a ploy on the taxpayers to build in a budget surplus for the city. We agree with the city fathers and congratulate them on their action. obituaries ZUCCHINI BREAD Mix together 3 eggs, 1 cup oil, 2 cups1 sugar and 3 tsp. vanilla. Add 2 cups grated zucchini.
