Provo did pass an ordinance ordi-nance four years ago that requires all fights to be approved by the mayor after problems with "fight clubs." But problems mainly start at these events when they are not sanctioned by the commission, Weinsoft said. "People get in trouble when they do the underground under-ground stuff," he said.

Impact fees have not been charged by the city for several years. At a City Council meeting in July, elected officials decided to begin charging the impact fee to new developers to help pay for future storm water drainage deficiencies. The original price was set at a whopping $4,440 per acre, but that enormous enor-mous figure did not seem fair for future developers. develop-ers. "It was deemed inequitable to impose the entire cost of these detention facilities on developers," said J-U-B Engineers and city engineer engi-neer David Thurgood in a letter addressed to Mayor Jim Danklef and the council.

The set is magnificent, consisting con-sisting of a 30-foot-high crows nest and a two-story ship that actually tilts. "The set alone required several hundred hours of working and planning," said Stewart Shelley, the director of the musical, "It is the most elaborate set thus far and definitely the most expensive.

The new total is $2,713 per acre. "Although existing conditions provide a solution to the expected storm water flooding of the Gateway area, this solution is temporary and should be permanently perma-nently replaced using costs of the city rather than those of impact fees," the engineers said. Pleasant Grove City will now pay nearly $ 3.2 million more than they first calculated for the storm water drainage upgrades and infrastructure. infrastruc-ture.
