Council members considered transferring transfer-ring funds from Downtown American Fork, Inc. or the city's Economic Development department, since those entities perform functions similar to that of the chamber, but Hampton said he would suggest other options before the decision is made. Mayor Ted Barratt said the city would probably support the chamber, but it would probably only be temporary. "Give us some suggestions how you are going to become self funding," he said.

That obligation is another anoth-er issue which has affected the city's thinking about the possible secondary water system. Members of the American Ameri-can Fork Metropolitan Water District recently , brought it to the city's attention that they were obligated to repay the CUP for the water it has allocated allocat-ed to American Fork, even if it is never used. While there was some consideration that the city would not be permitted to sell the water to another user, 11. Lee Wimmer, Assistant Assis-tant General Manager and GUI' program manager and construction manager, gave an unofficial opinion that it might be feasible. "If you do not want that water, I don't believe it would be a problem," he said. "There are other people peo-ple clamoring for water." Council member Keith Blake said that water could be useful to American Fork, but since it is untreated water it would most likely be used for outdoor purposes. purpos-es. "There is no easy way to use that untreated water without a secondary system," sys-tem," he said. "Or we could build a treatment plant." Council member Juel Belmont asked about the aesthetics of piping the ditches within the city. "I know of places where trees have died because the water was covered," she said. Richard Noble, of the Franson-Noble engineering firm which studied the options, said there would be provisions to turn water into the canals periodically in order to keep those trees alive. Members of the American Ameri-can Fork Irrigation Company Compa-ny said there would be advantages to piping the ditches. "We can't afford to have open ditches any more, because of the liability insurance," said Glenn Roundy. Manning Continued from front page and talk to me." I le recalled a fond memory memo-ry of seeing one of those he coached when he was a youth. "He was one of probably one of four or five that I ever yelled at," he said. Manning explained that he had been leaning up against the backstop when the young man threw his bat, nearly hitting him in the head. Despite that experience, experi-ence, or perhaps because of it, the two have become close. "He and I are really good friends now," he said.

Closed Sundays Neighbors, developer cooperate By Barbara Christiansen Communication has become a key for a developer develop-er to gain approval for an American Fork subdivision. He had sought to put five lots on property at 250 W. 300 North. His initial proposal included a cul-de-sac which neighboring property owners said would have limited future development of their land. The Planning and Zoning Commission urged him to meet with neighbors to try to work out an alternative plan which would accommodate accommo-date all. They attended the meeting and responded to six road alternatives prepared pre-pared by Planning Consultant Consul-tant Rod Despain. He outlined the proce dure and the method he felt the planners should use to make the selection. "There are six alternatives," alterna-tives," he said. That may not be all. Decisions have to be based on the best interests of the community, not public clamor or whoever benefits." Commission chair James Hansen agreed. "This body looks at the long-range plan for American Fork City," he said. "Our responsibility is to look at the long-term, not just here and now." Some of the options the planners studied included cul-de-sacs, while others had a through street providing provid-ing access to both 300 North and 200 West. Jim Hardy, of the city's fire department, voiced support for the through street since it allows greater maneuverability maneuver-ability for trucks. The option the planners selected reflected that concern, con-cern, and allowed future development of adjoining property. Commissioner Keith Richan congratulated the developer and neighbors for working together for the good of all. "I have sat on planning commissions for 18 years," he said. "Something unique has happened tonight. I would like to compliment the people. You have done what you have been asked to do. You cooperated and answered questions." iHSinaauran'; Retail Theft -A 19-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl were arrested for retail theft after they allegedly attempted to remove over $600 worth of merchandise from a local business.
