Pleasant Grove and Cedar Hills to share utility services By Tammy McPherson Utah Valley staff Dan Stuart " has been waiting for months to hook into a city sewer system. He lives on a road where the utilities are serviced by Cedar Hills, but Stuart wants to remain a Pleasant Grove resident. He feels Pleasant Grove is better because it has more businesses busi-nesses and other amenities, such as a library. Stuart lives in an area where the boundary between the two cities is a checkerboard, with each city running utility lines only in certain areas. Stuart's Stu-art's next-door neighbor annexed into Cedar Hills because the city provides sewer service in that area. In the past, Cedar Hills has required anyone who hooks into its utilities to annex into that city. But with a newly signed inter-" local agreement, residents can remain in the city they live in and get utilities frofri the other. At least for now. For the next 'five- to 10 years, residents on the border bor-der can choose in which city they want to live.' But the agreement outlines which city they will receive utilities utili-ties from. Pleasant Grove will provide utilities to one area and Cedar Hills to another. , Those who are using utility util-ity services from the city they are not living in will be charged a 10 percent nonresident non-resident charge. In 10 years, the two cities See UTILITY on Page 3 City raises not based on local wages Courtesy photo Kindred Voices will perform Celtic songs at Sunday's Concert in the Park.

Kindred Voices' concert will please listeners of all ages. "Just about everyone has a drop of Celtic blood in them," said Rebekah. The audience is asked to bring blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy an evening of Celtic music on the east lawn of the Pleasant Grove Recreation Center at 200 S. 100 East.

By Cathy Allred City Editor The largest populated city in north Utah County is Lehi City, the highest paid mayor is in Pleasant Grove, and the largest community geographically is Eagle Mountain. The city with the highest municipal property tax is also Pleasant Grove, yet it has the smallest budget for a town its size. Numbers can provide insight when compared from city to city. Eagle Mountain's City Council voted themselves in a pay raise on July 8 to ' be comparable to other salaried elected officials in cities of the same size, according to statewide research done by city staff. ; If it had been to give themselves a raise to be comparable to other elected elect-ed officials in the immediate immedi-ate area, they would have found their mayor now is the third highest paid elected officiai at $1,000 a month next to American Fork's Mayor Ted Barratt with $1,200 a month and Pleasant Grove's Mayor Jim Danklef at $1,500 a month salary. Both of the latter communities have a population of more than 25,000. Salaries can be deceiving. deceiv-ing. Barratt not only has a salary but he has a monthly $350 expense account and a $250 stipend for insurance.

" The Pleasant Grove resident said it was like killing members of his own family. But he said he had no other choice. The city had given him until the end of June to get rid of his birds when the Planning Commission Com-mission revoked his conditional use permit for having more than the allowed 50 pigeons on his property. That wasn't enough time to sell the birds that could have gone for $100 each on the open market, he said. Smith tried giving them away, but some flew back home because there was no time to train them otherwise. "It's horrible. I killed 100 birds over nothing, just to prove who's the dictator," he said. He has moved his 23 breeding pigeons to another location. Smith knew he was breaking the law. He's been to court twice over the matter and is scheduled to go back at the end of the month. The reason the courts haven't made a decision, though, is because Smith told the judge the city was considering a revision revi-sion to the current ordinance. More than a year ago, the Planning Plan-ning Commission recommended the city change its ordinance to allow for expert pigeon racers, like Smith, to raise up to 140 raping rap-ing pigeons and to have more than one loft. Since that time, the.issue has remained in limbo. City Council members have said in an open See PIGEONS on Page 3 - . - . - .... V , ... .
