That is part of the agreement reached by City of Orem and Richards Development, Develop-ment, a Nevada Corporation, with offices located at Las Vegas and Capistrano Beach, Calif. Sale price for the 111 acres of Citv-owned nrnnartv in y $l,0p5,p00with $5,000 earnest o .rnoney up tront. Kichards will purchase another 110 acres from private property owners in the area. Payments will be made to the City in 10 equal payments. Closing date is October 1, 1990. In addition to the sale price, 10 percent of gross revenues from the golf course operation will return back to the City. All financial finan-cial records from the golf course operations will be available to the City for inspection. Included in the Cascade Park will be an 18-hole golf course, dub house, pro shop, and driving range. All of the operations will be open to the public with fees not to exceed 150 percent of other golf courses in the area. The golf course will be under single management. Richards Corp. will complete negotiations on the golf course operation with Kevin and Herb Stratton and the Stratton family, owners and managers of Cascade Fairways. Strattons also have title to one acre of ground. The remainder of the course has been on a lease agreement with City of Orem, . . .. . j The remainder of the property will be developed into research and high technology companies. As properties are sold all funds will be placed into escrow until the total million dollars is there. Richards must be current on all payments to keep the agreement in force. Richards will apply for Master Plan and zoning ordinance amendments as necessary to develop the research park and residential areas. Options on all property must be in place before the City will consider rezoning the Richards property. According to the agreement Richards must acquire fee title on all properties by April 10, 1991. All site plans must meet approval ap-proval and must comply with Orem's Master Plan and applicable ap-plicable ordinances. The developer will be responsible for construction of the infrastructure for the entire project. During the preliminary development of the project, City of Orem agrees to provide Richard Development with limited office space, at a location -to be agreed upon by City Manager Daryl Berlin. Berlin will act as liaison between Richard and the City. When completed the research and technology park will occupy approximately 50 acres with a maximum of 1 million square feet of gross building area and a maximum max-imum of 3,500 parking spaces. The agreement with Richards also obligates City of Orem to provide pro-vide real property for construction construc-tion of a new Utah County Sheriffs Search and Rescue building now located on the north end of the property. The City will not be obligated to construct the new building, however. Hundreds of hands move thousands of books for "sale" By Jeanne Thayne About a hundred youngsters and a few of their mothers from Sharon Park Stake formed a book brigade Monday to hand pass about five thousand books from the vacant third floor of the circuit court building to the City Center. The human chain led from the top floor, down the stairs, out into the court yard and across the lawn to the dooryard of the multipurpose multi-purpose room. The books will be part of a "New Friends of the Library" annual an-nual book sale to be held Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday (Aug. 24-27) in the multipurpose multi-purpose room of the City Center. According to Library Director Dick Beeson, the books and magazines were gifts to the library. Donations come from Boy Scout drives, service clubs and individuals. "We check through the donations to see what we need for our collection first," said Beeson, "then duplicates or those not needed are stored away in anticipation of the book sale." Beeson said there are some very good titles available. ' Louise Wallace, Library Public Services director, said the sale opens at 3 p.m. Thursday until 8 p.m. for 'Friends of the Library' only. The general public is welcome on Friday and Saturday Satur-day (10 a.m.-6 p.m.), and Monday (3-9 p.m.). Books will be half price on Saturday and on Monday it's $1 for "all you can carry," Wallace said. Bring your own bag. To become a "Friend" requires a $5 a year donation to the library or $25 for a family membership which entitles the family to discounts dis-counts to special library events and programs during the year, said Wallace. Participating in Monday's book brigade were three Eagle Scouts. For his Eagle Project, James Crawford organized a crew of people to help sort the books. David Thompson and Robert Anderson helped assemble as-semble shelves for the book sale for their Eagle Project.

Alpine teachers vote not to strike...yet By Steve Blackwell At a meeting of Alpine School District teachers and members of the AEA at Mountain View High School on Monday, the decision was determined by vote not to strike, at least for the time being. The possibility of a strike came about after teachers demanded more money from the district. Ar-lene Ar-lene Arnold, President of the Al- !)ine Education Association (the ocal affiliate of the UEA), said the District failed to improve their offer of a 6.82 pay raise on the teachers' indexed salary. Teachers want a raise of 8.3. According to Arnold, the salary disput is more a philosophical matter mat-ter than anything. "Our intent with this matter is to uphold and maintain the in-tegtrity in-tegtrity of our salary. The district has shown no sign of offering anything any-thing but their original 6.82 offer, and the teachers are absoloutely unwilling to take it." The vote not to strike came after the motion was made by Nile Miner, a member of the negotiating team made up of representatives rep-resentatives from each region, to declare an Impass because of a failure to come to an agreement. Miner continued to ask for the teachers' support on the matter because the team feels "our district dis-trict has more money for us than other districts." Under the Impass declaration, declara-tion, there is a choice to call in either a mediator or a fact-finder to come in and settle the dispute. The difference between the two is that a mediator's decision is binding bind-ing whereas a fact-finder's decision is not With this statement made, If H ' V- AEA PRES. ARLENE ARNOLD the negotiating team decided to recommend calling in a factfinder. fact-finder. This person is selected within 10 days after the decision to do so is made, and is a person independant of both sides who has no interest in favoring either side. After the fact-finder is chosen, both the district and the teachers will make a presentation stating their case. Twenty days after this occurs, a recommendation will be filed by the fact-finder to both sides. Five days later, the decision must be made by each side to follow it or reject it Therefore, There-fore, 35 days will have past from the day the decision was made (August 15th) to the time the decision must be made (September (Septem-ber 19th). The problem that than arose from the teachers is that they would have to go back to work without a contract. Arnold pointed out that it would take 12 days away from the classroom, if they did indeed strike, to eat up the raise the teachers are asking for. The other problem with striking strik-ing pointed out was that the schools' administration would have a week to fill the classrooms with substitutes, a period of time long enough to allow such a thing. Finally, before the matter came to vote, four reasons were stated supporting the proposed decision to start school as scheduled. 1: It would show the teachers are continuing in good faith that a settlement would be reached, 2: It would allow better communication between the AEA and the teachers (since they would be in school and that is where communication occurs anyway), 3:It would give time to gather public support, and 4: It would bring in an independant 3rd party to settle the dispute. Of course, the possibility is very high that the teachers won't like the outcome, and therefore may still strike in the middle of September. According to Arnold, overwhelming over-whelming support was declared by the teachers, and all classes will begin on their scheduled dates. One other decision was made at the meeting as well. The teachers were not content to sit quietly while their negotiating team did all the work. The teachers decided to wear arm bands to the district's opening institute in-stitute to show their dissatisfaction. dissatisfac-tion. The meeting stagnated, however, when the color of arm bands couldn't be decided on after being debated for a half hour. No decision was made. |
