For example, under the present schedule, mobile home parks paid a flat sum of $10.00 per month, plus $1.00 for each unit. The new rates provided for a minimum fee of $3.90 for each unit in the park.

Approval on the project's environmental en-vironmental impact study report came just two months after Orem City and Utah County officials met in the office of Gov. Calvin L.

The offclals, conerned over the long delays in the state approval of the environmental Impact report, re-port, had requested the meeting with the governor to resolve the new truck be painted yellow. The Council opened bids from contractors on the construction of the new Sharon School neighborhood neigh-borhood park. Jensen Brothers submitted the low bid of $114,618 and Prestwich & Healy submitted abidof$142, 880. Since both of these amounts were considerably above the $85, 000 available for this project, they were referred to park planners plan-ners Maas&Grasli for redesign. Several public hearings were held by the Council. Approval was given to an amendment to section 29-3-7 of the Orem City Zoning Ordinance concerning the development of commercial sites of over one-half acre.

I 1 if S V matter so that federal funding of the project could be made. On Monday the Utah County Commission passed a resolution recommending that the Federal Highway Administration approve the environmental impact study report so that the Center Street project can get underway. City Engineer Brown told the Orem City Council Tuesday night that it appears that the design hearing can be held at the end of August, and that bids from contractors con-tractors could be sought about October 1. Concerning right-of-wayprob-lems, Mr. Brown suggested that the Orem City Council meet jointly with Center Street property owners to work out details de-tails on the acquisition of their frontages, as well as reaching agreement on the installation of curbs, gutters, and planting strips. "Those properties estimated to be valued at more than$2,000 must be appraised, Mr. Brown said, while those valued at less than this amount may be acquired by negotiation with the property owners. On the motion of Councilman Council-man Harley M. Gillman, the Council voted to authorize Mr, Brown to proceed with the acquisition ac-quisition with the right-of-way necessary to build the Center Street project. In other action the Council met with Gary Willey, representing repre-senting Remco, In., developers of The Village planned dwelling group of apartments at 1700 South 400 East. The city engineer told the Council that the developers of The Villiage have departed from the approved plans for the development de-velopment in several respects, Including landscaping, location of fire hydrants and recreation facilities. fa-cilities. Mr. Willey pointed out that such changes in the original plan have been designed to upgrade the entire complex, although he agreed that prior approval had not been obtained from the Orem Planning Commission. The Council voted to require Mr. Willey to post a bond in the amount of $57,800 with Orem City to guarantee the completion of the project according to plans. Also, the City Planner, Engineer, and Building Inspector will meet with MR. Willey to resolve which changes.' are desired by the de velopers and approved by the City. The proposed changes will then have to be approved by the Orem Planning Commission in order to comply with city ordinances. Mr. Brownreminded the Council Coun-cil that bids are scheduled to be opened from contractors on the construction of the storm sewer which sill serve the area adjacent to the University Mall shopping center. The City is pressing to have this project completed in time to accommodate the fall opening of the shopping center.
