On Tuesday the City Council directed project manager John Schiess to first pursue transferring the area to another recreational use, then use mitigation if necessary. Recreational Recre-ational uses suggested could be as simple as trails and benches, or could include an urban fishery and water sports lessons on the pond itself. In a related action, the council approved two bids for work on construction of the pond project. One for a filter station, which came in at $307,000, one percent below the engineer's estimate. The bid awarded for a transmission project was $2.1 million, which was 31 percent below the engineer's estimate. Council members remarked that the downturn down-turn in the construction industry had brought about the lower bids. Schiess had previously told the City Council Coun-cil of its options regarding the irrigation pond. The area where the pond would be located has been designated 6F, which indicates it should be used for recreational purposes. For decades it has been used by the American See POND, Page 2 HAPPY BIRTHDAY f (f V i f'W v:f iv i - joleen Grant Meredith the founder of the JntermeTZO Music anniversary meeting in American Fork, on March b.
