Any person desiring to run for city council or mayor will be required to sign a paper on or before Sept. 14, 1981, in front of the city recorder, Verl Dallin, stating that he or she is qualified according to the law to run for city office. If more than two persons sign-up for the office of mayor or more than four sign-up for the council, a primary election will be held in the city on Oct. 6, 1981 reducing the number of candidates to two for the office of mayor, and four for the two council seats coming vacant this fall. No party affiliation will be asked at the time of signing to run for city office, as state law requires the elections be non-partisan. Because of the new law, no party conventions will be held this year, as in the past. The final city election will be held Nov. 3, according to city officials. As indicated, elections will be held for mayor, and the two council seats occupied oc-cupied presently by Jerry Smith and Dean Allen. John Marshall is Springville's present mayor. None of the present officials have indicated their intentions at this time concerning re-election. Elections in the past in Springville have been on a nonpartisan non-partisan basis with candidates running .on the Progressive or Citizen's party. Mapleton VH ' - City council discusses dogs, streets, in meeting by Franklin Nielsen Water, dogs, streets and subdivisions were all subjects handled by Mapleton's council this week. Main street construction nears a,nd progress was reported on the water project. Treasurers report showing four building permits issued was approved ap-proved by the council. A culinary water need projection to the year 2010 by Central Utah Water Conservancy District shows a need to get additional water from sources not now available to the city. Plans could be made to contract needed water from the CUP, explained Carl Carpenter, District Engineer. Council voted to adopt a resolution to go on record and write a letter to CUP some time in the future. Todays cost is . $80 per acre foot. The report shows a Droiected short fall of an avpraoe nf 50 acre feet yearly. At todays cost, this would be $4,000 annually for the additional ad-ditional water. The study projecting the short fall used all available water from present springs, maximum pumping from the city well and utilizing trading and conversion of irrigation water shares aquired by the city. Citing a Strawberry Water irrigation regulation that irrigation waters cannot be converted to culinary use, Mayor Edward K. Wiscombe noted that Strawberry waters obtained by the city would have to be traded for Mapleton water shares before conversion. Dogs running loose in the city was a matter brought before the council by an offended citizen. Five to ten dogs pass through his property nightly disturbing garbage and making deposits on his lawn, the citizen said. He finds it offensive of-fensive to have neighborhood dogs lick his ten month old child on the mouth. In a letter, he earlier sent to the city, the citizen listed owners whose dogs frequently run loose. His suggestion was that Mapleton enforce the law and increase the fine for dogs caught running loose. His suggestion was to increase the fee from $5 to $20. Provo City currently charges $20, the citizen pointed out. His complaining com-plaining to neighbors has made him and his family almost neighborhood out-Casts out-Casts he said. ' :-' ,- v " . His complaint drew sympathy from council members who find it hard to sleep at night bacause of barking dogs; find it difficult to clean up dog littered yards or pick up dog scattered garbage. The citizen suggested that the animal control officer change his patrolling time in the area from the middle of the day when the dogs are generally in the shade to evening and night hours when dogs are roaming. The animal control officer is already policing during effective dog catching hours, said Police Chief John Colianna. Offering to provide a dog trap for the citizen's lot was suggested by the chief. The citizen would have , to stand the heat of collecting neighbor's dogs, the chief said. Purchase of more dog traps is an item in the proposed city, budget said Mayor Wiscombe. Roberta James, new planning commission chairman, presented a master road plan with miles of new road to be added. The map was presented in a public hearing prior to the council meeting. The new roads would generally be located along the East and South side of Mapleton and along the foothills. Street plans basically conform to the two and one half acre zoning in the area, James said. Melvin Wakefield, a realator, representing a Mapleton property owner opposed the plan designating South MainStreet as a collector road. In the council meeting following the hearing, council voted to adopt the new street plan. A few minor changes were made to' accomodate proposed streets that would have gone through homes. The proposed street along the Strawberry Canal was also deleted from the master plan. Mayor Wiscombe objected from an engineers point of view because of the high cost of construction of winding roads. Voting was four to one with Larry Haines voting no. Some areas of Mapleton should be reserved for larger lot sizes then the present two and one half acre zoning, Haines said. A public hearing was set for August 18, 6:45 p.m. at the city building to consider adopting additional fees for subdivision applications. Present fees are not adequate to pay city costs in Continued to page 2 Nora Creer, (right) representing the Springville-Mapleton area in the 11th year of the Festival of Trees, receives a check from the Springville Chamber of Commerce, Com-merce, presented by Marilyn Crandall, to begin the 1981 fund drive.

Springville industrial park is growing, despite high interest rates t, r:' " " l 4 Valtek Inc., the first company to come into the industrial park three and a half years ago, stands with the mountain range in the background and a reflection off the lake in the foreground. Companies moving into the park are talking about creating II more lakes on the west side. Editor's note: This is the first of a series of articles on growth in Springville. It may n,ot seem like it, but the Springville City Industrial Park is growing, despite the high interest rates. "If we could get the interest rates to brake, we'd have $25 million worth of construction going on out there (in the park)," said Ray Klauck, representative for Springville City Industrial Development, in an interview with the Springville Herald. Klauck said he hopes to have three buildings start up this summer, and added that over half a million dollars worth of land has been committed for purchase. Planning stages of the industrial park may go back 10 to 12 years, Klauck said, and one of the main goals for bringing industry into the park was to provide jobs that will support families. Valtek was the first business to move into the park, over three and a half years ago. Since that time land has been sold to or committed for sale to Lulu's, a manufacturing firm that produces photographic prints for clocks and pictures; Air Converters, Con-verters, a fireplace insert manufacturing company from Canada; Murdock International, a producer of Rainy Day Foods, pharmaceutical supplies, and more; Nubrite chemical company, Fibertech, a research and manufacturing firm now based in Mapleton; Maca Supply Company, a steel electric furnace manufacturer, manufac-turer, who came into the park last fall and will build three additional buildings within the next three years, according to Klauck. This company will hire handicaps to take care of most of the office and maintenance help, Klauck said. The original bid for development of the park was $1,119,000 and included in-cluded roads, sewer and water installment, in-stallment, which required a 2 million gallor water tank. Power to the development was added at a later date, along with a center strip of road, and was paid for from property sales, Klauck said. Most of the land on the south side of the industrial park has been sold or committed, according to Klauck, and nearly a quarter of a million dollars worth of land has been committed on the north side of the industrial park. Klauck said there are several stipulations interested companies must meet, in order to purchase land in' the park. To avoid fly-by-night companies and to maintain the quality of the industrial park, a review board was established, to consider applicants desiring to come into the park. A credit check is also run on each company, and firms are required to submit their proposed building plans before sale is finalized. To come into the park, buildings are required to be of masonry; no steel buildings will be allowed in the park. Another stipulation requires that buildings can only be built on half the land purchased; the rest must be developed into parking lots and green belt. "The way people have talked, we'll have 11 lakes on the west side of the park," Klauck said. |
