The Scera organization is planning to operate oper-ate on a budget of $49,165.00 this year, which is approximately $5,000 more than last year. Zane G. Alder, president of the Scera Board, thanked the Council for the opportunity of letting Scera discuss recreational recrea-tional plans with the Council. Mr. Alder introduced Scera Board members who made comments com-ments to the Council. Dover Hunt, the manager of Scera, outlined the historical involvement in-volvement which Scera has had with Orem City. Mr. Hunt said the Scera Board appreciates the recent recreational study which was conducted by the city. He pointed to the study itself, and said 58 of the people interviewed had lived in Orem less than 10 years, and 80 had lived in Orem Or-em less than 20 years. "Many people do not understand Scera and the close involvement which it has had from the . beginning with Orem City," said Mr. Hunt. Beginning in 1931, Scera (or Sharon cooperative Education and Recreational Association) com-, menced a program to provide the city's citizens with recreational recrea-tional outlets. Scera is owned by the community, and has no stocks, shares, or dividends. It was in 1943 that Scera first asked the city to share the recreational responsibility. Mr. Hunt said that during the many years he has worked with Scera, there has always al-ways been a total cooperation between the City, Scera, and the Alpine School District.

The recommendations recommenda-tions outline the capacity in which Orem City Policy officers may (and may not) work on off-duty security jobs. The extent to which officers can use their uniforins and equipment while on off-duty jobs has been brought into question ques-tion in the past few weeks. The new regulations policy provides that different colored uniforms will be used, and furthermore outlines the use and misuse of badges, guns, and other police equipment. The security work covers the commercial and business needs for officer security secur-ity work in Orem, and will have particular effects on the Orem University Mall and other Orem businesses. Police Chief James Simmons said he hopes the Police Pol-ice Department will eventually be able to assign more personell to where ever they are needed. Lee Peterson, the new manager man-ager of Orem's University Mall, came before the Council and expressed ex-pressed his satisfaction with the cooperation which the Mall has received from the Orem City Police Department. He said he had personally seen officers operate op-erate both in and out of uniform, uni-form, and there was no question in his mind that officers were more effective in dispelling trouble when they were in uniform. uni-form. , Mr. Peterson said he feels the University Mall should have , some non-subsidized police help. He pointed out that the University Mall spent $ 1 1,000 last year alone on security. Councilman Glen Zimmerman said he did not think the Orem Police Department should act to find part-time work for its officers, of-ficers, and he indicated his satisfaction sat-isfaction with the capacity in which officers have served businesses bus-inesses up to the present time. He said, nevertheless, that if Chief Simmons viewed the new policy as good, then he would support it. The newrecommendi-tions newrecommendi-tions were passed intact by the Council.

Mayor James Mangum, at the commencement of Mr. Austin's presentation, said Orem City is getting tremendous service from Scera. The Council immediately passed a motion which commended com-mended Scera and approved all of the proposed recommendations. Scera's summertime recreation-al recreation-al programs. Mr. Austin responded by saying that for the coming summer, at least, permission is intact to use the junior high's facilities. An indication in-dication was made that other school facilities could probably be used in the future. Mr. Hunt stated that the cooperationof Alpine Al-pine School District has been very generous in allowing Scera to utilize all the existing facilities facilit-ies that they need. Councilman LeRoy Walker said he would like to see the Scera's programs continue. "A lot of recreational facilities need to come into this great city ofours. Scera has added much in the past," said Councilman Walker. He added that Scera can do much in the future, but added that it is the responsibility of the City Council to determine what Orem will have in the way of recreation. recrea-tion. The schools, the stake presidents, presi-dents, Scera, and other parties must all give input to the recreational rec-reational course that Orem must pursue, Councilman Walker indicated. in-dicated. "What do the Orem citizens citi-zens want, and what are they willing to pay for? Councilman Walker asked. Councilman E. Dixon Larson expressed some doubts about Councilman Walker's over-all plans for Orem City. Councilman Council-man Merrill Gappmayer said Scera should commense work on an indoor work because they can handle it. Councilman LeRoy Walker said he did not wish to vote piecemeal on single projects pro-jects at the present time. Councilman Larson said he did not favor a bond issue, and he was not impressed with the random recreational survey sampling which had been conducted con-ducted in Orem. The comment was made that if a one and one-half million dollar recreational recrea-tional complex is being proposed, then all avenues should be vigorously vig-orously examined. The extent of Scera's participation should be made clear, it was stated. No immediate actions were taken by the Council, butCouncilmanHar-ley butCouncilmanHar-ley Gillman was appointed the task of outlining recommendations recommenda-tions and avenues by which the Council can approach the recreational rec-reational needs of Orem. i 'V- 4 .'w Julie Renstrom and Frank Cooper.
