The Lehi Industrial Park Special Improvement District got off the ground at Tuesdays City Council meeting and an emergency council meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, April 11. Council members declared their intent to create a special district for the park which would install curb, gutter and water and sewer lines. Before the district plans can be completed notice of the intent must be published four weeks in a row and a special public hearing must be held. That hearing is scheduled for May 2 at 9 p.m. in city hall. The purpose of the meeting is to give anyone opposing or supporting the creation of the district a chance to voice their opinions. If the district is approved bonds will be sold by the city to pay for the special improvements.

Lehi Stake Youth Fireside Awards Banquet Friday Utah Power & Light Co. recently filed with the Utah Public Service Commission a h request for a $9.2 million fuel cost increase applicable to all customers (3.76 percent incresae in company revenue), and for a $64.8 million general rate increase (25.48 percent) which includes a special provision in the rates for customers where the head of the household is 65 or older, and a special provision in the rates for those who can conserve electricity below a given level. As a part of the company's general rate rate increase request, the "Age-Incoprovides that for residential customers who are 65 years or older and are heads of households and have annual incomes of $7,000 or less, there would be no generlt rate increase other than the fuel increase applied to over 300 used in the first 300 kilowatt-hour- s any month, the general rate increase will apply. The company would rely upon a commission-authorized agency to certify customers who would qualify for the special "Age-Incoprovision. Also a part of the general rate application is a special "Conservation" provision applicable to any residential customer who manages to hold his use of electricity to 300 kilowatt hours per month pro rated (which is an average of 10 kilowatt hours per day 5 during the billing period, normally days). The special "Conservation" Provision would be calculated so as to eliminate any increase during such a period except that attributable to increased costs of fuel. Note: If more than an average of 10 kilowatt-hour- s per day are used, the full increase on all usage applies. The fuel costs pass through application takes into account the recently negotiated United Mine Workers wage increase as well as other increases since the company's last fuel order from the commission effective Feb. 8, 1978. The general rate incresae is due to economic inflation, and increased costs of doing busines- s- especially construction costs and increasingly costly requirements for the athletic awards banquet this Firday night at 6:30 p.m. in the Stake Center.

The Lehi Lions Club who developed the Little League Park several years ago will build a bowery, a chain link fence around the park, picnic tables, toilet facilities He said several area businesses, including the Lehi Bank bid on the bonds but they were only partial bids and the city could only sell them in total. After final contact with the Denver Company this week council members will vote on acceptance of the bid at 7 p.m., that April 11. Following meeting they will have a closed meeting to discuss personal matters and other related business. In other council action 170 acres of land the majority which is owned by Gary Cooper was annexed into the City. A portion of that lanx had previously been annexed in Highland but Mr. Cooper had applied and been accepted for from Highland. The land will be zoned R-- l, residential and RA-- 1 residential with an option to have animals if the property exceeds 20,000 square feet. Council members also declared their intent to create another special improvement district to establish the 1978 curb and gutter project. A hearing to gain public imput for that project will also be held on May 2 at 8 p.m. in city hall. The cost of the im- - which include curb, gutter, sidewalk and blacktop is $9 a square foot. The cost of the improvements would be levied to the property owner over a ten year period. Jim Hale, executive director of the Alcohol Recovery Center in Springville attended the meeting to explain his program and the need for extra funding. The Center is funded through area cities and he is asking for an additional $918 from Lehi. He said he has not over spent his yearly budget but there is a deficit in accounts $40,000 receivable because his center treats "the working poor". "Most of the people we treat are referred to us through the courts and they aren't on welfare and are not wealthy and by the time they pay their court fees they have no money left for treatment," Mr. Hale explained. Last year he said, 16 Lehi residents were treated at the center and people from the provements area are referred there con- stantly, he added. "We charge $8 a day for treatment here and you people know that it costs $18.50 a day to keep a person in jail, so on the whole we are doing two services for the cities," he said. Council members said they would go over the budget in the next two weeks and see if they could afford to donate the extra money to the program. They also postponed a decision to allocate $300 to the Retired Senior Volunteer program until they can check further into their funding. Karl City Superintendent Webb announced that the new city garbage truck should be arriving sometime this week. He said he had received a request from Cedar Valley to collect their garbage. He said the City could probally handle the pick up for a while but Lehi was growing so fast they couldn't guarantee pick up on a continueing basis. Mayor Singleton said he would contact Cedar Valley and advise them of the situtation. The council also decided that they would not continue their creek clean up and flood protection work into the county unless they were for their work. m 30-3- The youth of the Presbyterian Church in company to install producing pollution control equipment. The company's earnings per share have been receding since November, 1976; and earnings have not reached the level allowed by the Utah commission. The company in 1977 earned about 8.4 percent on rate base in Utah; that authorized by the commission is 104 percent. The company emphasized that one of the reasons for the large overall March 30th rate request is that the increases allowed by the utility commission have been substantially less than the amounts needed to maintain a reasonable rate of return which would allow a continuance of full reliable service. Costs not fully allowed would be substantially les had the full amounts of increases requested been allowed earlier. The full amount requested in this filing provides for electric service in the amount needed to supply present and new customers of the company in the foreseeable future. Anything less than the requested amount presents the probability of shortages and curtailments of service because the company's construction program would have to be curtailed. The company is asking that the commission authorize it to implement short-terload for irrigation management procedures pumping customers "on peak" (during the summertime) . Such load management allows credit for irrigation customers who shut down their irrigation pumps over peak on specified days of a week. The proposed schedules provide for seasonal rates (higher in summer; lower in winter) to track cost of service and place the cost more equitably on the high-us- e customers during summer peaking months. E.A. Hunter, president of the utility said, "The company has implemented savings and efficiency programs for many years and has intensified them this year in an attempt to offset as much as possible the inflationary . pressures forcing up electric rates." non-reven- pass-throug- The Lehi Utah Stake will hold its second annual agreements payment year period.
