Concession Stand Policy Revised The City Council approved a plan to. allow the Kiwanis Club to continue the operation of the concession stands in the City Center Park, while permitting other organizations, such as youth sports teams, to man the stands to raise money when the Kiwanis is not using them. City Recreation Director Jerry Ortiz met with leaders of various organizations tq discuss the possibility of using the stands to raise money to support their efforts. Most felt the stands would provide a good way to generate additional revenue and support their, own programs. The council also discussed a letter from the Utah League of Cities and Towns concerning the open and public meeting laws. No action was taken. "Consolidation is a monster that should not have been created in the first place." Councilman Richard Jackson said everyone who has looked at the consolidation issue can see advantages and disadvantages. He said the advantage of having one administrator over all public safety was worthwhile and he also pointed to what he believed would result in better correlation of police and fire services. Jackson also said he did not think the cross training of police and fire officers to serve as public safety officers was necessarily a wise move at this time, but he suggested those who have already been cross-trained cross-trained should be studied and a decision about cross training should be reached later. Jackson put his observation ob-servation into a motion, which was approved unanimously by the council. The motion approved the establishment establish-ment of a department of public safety with a director and four division chiefs, as presently constituted.

Hatch said the peach crop was entirely wiped out and up to sixty percent per-cent of tart cherries were lost. Sweet cherries fared a little better with perhaps a sixty percent survival rate. The apple and pear crops will reach almost normal levels, Hatch explained. Orem fruit grower Dean Gillman said he heated two nights and canyon winds helped preserve his apple crop. He said it is still too early to be sure of a good crop. Killing frosts may continue con-tinue on and off through May. "You have to have a little green apple to be certain they're safe," Gillman said. Peaches, he said, were actually wiped out by bitter cold in February. Hatch said the central cen-tral Orem area, around 800 S. to 400 S. fared best in the cold weather. He said this was the worst winter since 1974-73.
