Orem City council members accepted a proposal in a Public Hearing Tuesday night for' spending about $600,000 of $723,000 anticipated in Community Development Block Grants. The council will hold work sessions to decide whether or not to adopt the recommendations as presented. Brett " Barrett, grants coordinator for Orem City, said about 50 applicants already are waiting for $125,000 earmarked to improve housing for low income families. "This sounds like a lot of money but when you go into a home that needs help and start spending, it's not that much," Barrett sa id . Barrett's request is double last year's fund for home improvements. A problem this year, however, is that Federal guidelines for use of CDBG funds have tightened significantly and severely restrict the City's ability to use the funds. At the same time' requests are increasing and costs have gone up. The home improvement fund will be loaned at three percent interest to eligible persons with the primary objective of improving substandard housing for the benefit of low and moderate income persons. Other programs designated for CDBG funds include $77,304 for installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalk where necessary on 400 East from Center to 200 North on the East side; $6,000 to purchase books, materials and equipment for the Parent Education Resource Center (PERC) at Orem City' Library; $10,000 for continuation of a Social Services Networking Program at Orem Community Hospital to help low income persons locate appropriate sources of medical care and financial assistance; $6,138 for a Public Safety program to train low income persons in first aid and life saving techniques; $4,000 to provide recreational programs at the Orem City Recreation Center for low income persons. Other requests include $150,000 for a revolving loan fund to help low and moderate income persons in economic development. Barrett said this would include loans to eligible persons for business improvements. He said "We can take money and continue to throw it at holes in a bucket or we can buy a new bucket and try to assist the whole general economy." Barrett has applied for an additional grant from the Economic Development Administration to supplement the revolving loan. There are special Revolving Loan Guidelines available from the Grants Coordinator at Orem City. Handicapped persons will get a break with installation of an elevator in the Orem City Senior Citizen Center. The grant requested is $68,500. Part of the grant, $100,000, already has been designated for the infrastructure in the Timpanogos Research and Technology Park which is speculated to create 2,899 jobs for the unemployed, underemployed and low and moderate income persons. Economic development funds in the amount of $50,000 were requested by the Commission for Economic Development in Orem (CEDO) to assist low and moderate income persons in the area of economic development. Barrett said private citizens also have made a few suggestions for spending the money. Most requests were for curb, gutter or asphalt improvements in several neighborhoods. More original suggestions included a rubberized track at the new junior high school in northeast Orem, choir robes for an Orem children's choir, more funds for a gym and wrestling club. None of those latter programs are eligible, said Barrett. Another suggestion which has merit but also is not eligible under CDBG guidelines is to beautify the Center Street entry way to Orem City. A number of people also would like more parks through theCity. Burglary of Home Reported Orem police are investigating a burglary at a home at 294 S. 1160 W . that apparently occurred Sunday afternoon between 3 p.m and 9 p.m. Kosemary Dosorcy, complaintant, told police the items stolen from her home were valued at $2,670 and included an Indian Head slot n.achine valued at $1,000.

SCERA Appoints New Showhouse Manager The SCERA Corporation has made some middle management changes within the last month for the purpose of providing better service to the community and preparing to more effectively develop the new Family City USA program . Norm Nielsen, President of SCERA, has appointed Ron Watson, a long-time staff member of SCERA at the Showhouse M anager. Watson has participated in the recent up-dating in the movie theatre which now has the largest screen and the most advanced sound system available. Recently, 70mm projection equipment was installed, making the SCERA Showhouse the only 70mm house in Utah Valley. "I'm very excited about SCERA and its commitment to community service. Many don't know that when they attend a movie at the SCERA Showhouse they not only get top quality entertainment, but in the process they are helping the community. Money earned by the theatre goes directly to projects that benefit the community. Our staff, from cashier to counter attendants, give their time freely as a community service so that our community might be enhanced. The SCERA Park, SCERA Pool and the recently completed SCERA Shell are examples of enrichment added to our community and made possible by all who patronize SCERA. And much more is on the way," said Watson. Watson has had much previous experience in education and service. Prior to graduation from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education degree, he served with the 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam. He is married to the former Judy Morris of Arco, Idaho. They have two sons who currently attend Orem High School. Watson is a sixth grade teacher at Aspen Elementary School in Orem. Nielsen said, "It is a great feeling to have someone of Rons experience, expertise and dedication serving as the SCERA Showhouse Manager." He also indicated that in an effort to build a stronger SCERA organization more middle management appointments will need to be made. "SCERA is providing so many programs to the community it will become increasingly critical that we develop a stronger and more effective organization structure." Presently, Dennis Butler serves as the SCERA Pool Manager, Paul Gourdin serves as Support Service Manager, Lesa Pulham serves as Office Manager and Dale Sivert serves as the Concessions Manager. Appointments yet to be named include manager of the newly organized SCERA Foundation, manager of the SCERA Shell, manager for press and promotion, and a special projects coordinator.
