The beer licenses came up for renewal at the end of December. According to Springville Police Chief Scotr finiayson, the city took this drastic measure because too many clerks at those businesses are failing to check identification cards or sell beer to minors anyway. Ten of the 13 businesses who have had beer licenses failed one compliance check in December. Two of the 10 failed a second check. Police conduct the compliance checks routinely-sending in decoys under age 21 who attempt to purchase beer. In the past usually only one or two retailers failed the compliance check. Museum The new addition to the Springville Sprin-gville Museum of An will almost double the exhibition space for the permanent an collection. Presently, 12.5 of the museum's museum-'s collection of 1,560 works of art are on display. In 1999 the museum acquired 68 works of art, 60 of which were donated. They have an appraised value of $187,475, sharply down from last year's record, but normal for most years. To keep the collection K r i a . . - . s , - - u ip.

The museum ac Finlayson said that it had never been as bad as it was in December. Decem-ber. Also in December, the city council had changed an alcohol ordinance by making it illegal to sell beer from drive-up windows and limiting the number of beer licenses - in the city to 13 . That number is based on population. The beer licenses of the following fol-lowing businesses were revoked: two of the Chevron stations, two Maverick stores, the Circle C Top Stop, Allen's Super Save Market, Maxi Mart Texaco, Quick Stop, Brookside Gas and Kicks 66. The three businesses who passed the compliance check and are still selling beer are Reams Market, Flying J Truck Stop and 7-Eleven. Beer sales are a big revenue producer for a business. They do not want to lose their licenses. acquires 68 works current and meaningful, the museum acquires contemporary as well as historic art. This year, 14 of the 68 works are dated from the 1990s. Recent acquisition highlights include: Von Allen "Coast" (1989, ceramic sculpture); six works on paper by Elzy J. Bird; Korry R. Bird "Sunny Day" (1999, bronze); Valoy Eaton "Antelope" (1971, oil); John B. Fairbanks "The Great White Throne" (1919, oil); John Hafen quired by trade, purchase or donation 68 works of art last year, and they are on display at this time for the public to see. SPRINGVILLE, UTAH City Recorder Jo Evans expected ex-pected all of those whose licenses were not renewed to appeal and meet the conditions so that they don't have a problem in the future. The city council will meet in a special meeting Thursday to handle this. ., --Members or the city council""- are talking about tightening the beer ordinance even more than was done in December. They do not feel that persons as young as 16 should be selling alcohol when they can't even consume it. Another idea is to require all retail clerks who sell beer to attend classes taught by the police department. What the city officials do not want to see happen is for teens from other communities to figure that you can buy beer in Springville, Spring-ville, that Springville is an easy mark.

In the first Springville City Council meeting of the new year, the council voted to approve a power agreement with the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) and Idaho Power. The city belongs to UAMPS, which has contracts with Idaho Power to supply energy to entities enti-ties in UAMPS that want to be signed up to receive energy from Idaho Power. This contract has been a non-firm contract since 1988, but Idaho Power now wants a firm agreement. According to Power Director Cal Baxter, a firm agreement means that those who sign to take power pay for it whether they take the power or not. "Springville "Spring-ville has been limited in the past to receive only 2.9 percent of energy from Idaho Power. With the new agreement, the city has been offered 6.8 percent, but the city could receive additional energy if other entities don't take what has been recommended," he said. Baxter presented a handout showing the projected growth in the city in the near future. He said that the city is in a position to take up to 30 million kilowatt hours and not be at risk of being unable to use the power. The council discussed the amount of energy the city receives re-ceives from the Colorado River Storage Project (CRSP) and future reductions of power through this firm contract. 1 "The price of Idaho Power, with all costs included, will be about 30 mills, whiie the price through the UAMPS poo! is 41 mills which is a market-based rate," said Baxter. Signing up for more energy through Idaho Power will allow the city to realize a great savings. With its capability to generate power, the city is still in a position posi-tion to work through UAMPS for less expensive power and to keep the city's rates competitive. "With a projected cost avoidance avoid-ance of $772,000, through approving ap-proving the Idaho Power increase, in-crease, the city could reduce its noinidD aijBiBGWffis u Li Price 500 m There are also two private clubs and two restaurants in Springville that serve alcohol. rates further in the future. Leon Fredrickson, power distribution sperintendant, was thanked for producing the graph handout. In other action, the council rescinded previous approval given to award a bid for sludge mixers and to approve awarding a bid to Westech Engineering for heavy-duty mixers in the amount of $39,402 and for a gas digester in the amount of $29,680 for a total of $69,082 and to approve the mayor's signature on the contract.

The policy will not direct that students wear uniforms, but will be put in place so that if a majority major-ity of parents at a school want uniforms, they can proceed to adopt them. To get uniforms at a particular school. 20 percent of parents at the school must sign a petition. Then the principal of the school would form a committee who would study the proposal and submit it to the school board. The committee would have to come up with reasons for uniforms, uni-forms, descriptions of the uniforms, uni-forms, a procedure for parents who do not want their children to wear uniforms and when the change would occur. The school wanting uniforms would have to hold an election, and 67 percent of the families in the school would have to approve the uniforms in order to make the change. Uniforms have not been an issue in any of the 30 schools in Nebo before. The district just want to have a policy in place.
