"This isn't something we just decided to do," she told Mercer. "Lots of time and study have gone into it." Mercer said he wanted "proof" that Council members were acting in the interest of the majority. "You say people have called you, and I want you to prove that" he said. Mayor Blaine Singleton told him proof wasn't necessary as they were elected officials capable of doing their ' jobs. Debate over the passage of the annexation continued for almost an hour with several other residents would be built in flood areas. Those homes built above the flood plain would get a reduced rate on the special flood insurance. Council members decided to study the plan and said they would take action on it at a later meeting. A special power contract was signed by Council members that will bring in $20,000 worth of power to Lehi. That power will be contracted from the Emery and Moon Lake Power projects. Final approval was also given to the Busk Subdivision on 3rd South and 7th s of an acre East. That will be used to construct three homes. Developer Lloyd Brooks asked Council members if there was any way developers who quoted sewer and water prices to prospective buyers could be guaranteed the prices would not inthree-quarter- crease. "I set my prices at the old rates and wasn't prepared for the rate change," said Brooks. "Now, with the raise, it will make things even harder for me." Mayor Singleton told him there was no way he could set a precedent for Brooks. He said the process on the connections had been way out of line and there was no guarantee that they wouldn't increase again.

They were concerned over water rights, City services and the construction that will happen on the land. "All we are approving here tonight is the annexation," Tanner told the audience. "I understand your concerns and want you to know that we who are developing the land will take the brunt of the financial burden." Brown told the audience that growth was inevitable in Lehi and that soon they would all be shaking hands with Riverton and Draper.

Angry because Clyde Herrera was hit and killed by a train Monday evening. They think it was an accident that should never have happened. Clyde was struck by a Union Pacific train at 300 West and State Street and dragged in his car two blocks to 500 West. Tuesday morning Dale Harris and some of his friends got together and decided it was time to do something about the trains that pass through Lehi. So they put on their coats and hit the streets. By Tuesday evening they had over 600 signatures to present to Council members. Their petition asked that something be done about the railroad crossings in Lehi. "What we are asking for are lights and signals and we want to cut down the speed of those trains," Harris told Council members Tuesday night. "We as citizens are willing to do whatever we can to get them." He came to the meeting with about 25 other citizens. They said they have lived with the railroad problem long enough and now it's time to do something about it. Councilwoman JoAnn Brown told them she would try and set up a meeting with Union Pacific officials. She said she had received numerous calls from other citizens since Monday's accident. "You have assurance that my I will do everything I can to get something going on this," Brown told the citizens. "This has been a problem for a long time," Millie Snow said she would be glad to head up a citizens committee to work with the railroad. "Next time it could be a bus full of children that is hit by a train," she said.
