He thinks that there ought to be some way the graves can be identified and moved into the city ceme- Falcon Commichaux purchased six acres in Cedar Fort in April 1970. ' In 1994 he was finally able to move his family into their new home in town. A programmer analyst for the State of Utah, Commichaux likes the quality of life in Cedar Fort and would like to see it maintained. He would like to see a long term decision made on the water policy in regards to the irrigation vs. the culinary and would like to see careful management of the growth of the town. "I think we need input to what citizens said want," really Commichaux. "We need to research, educate, get input, then make a decision based on the community's input. I dont like all the lawsuits the town has been involved in lately." Another issue that concerns Commichaux is the pioneer ceme right-of-wa- y tery. "It's not appropriate to have a road going over it." Also at issue is the present condition of the fire department. He wants to train people in how to use what equipment they have rather than purchase new. Commichaux is for returning the inspector job back into the hands of the county and is against hiring the town's own policemen. Concerning additional ordinances: "Before we make an ordinance we need to determine the cost of and how we're going to enforce the ordinance," concluded Commichaux. Commichaux says he has a willingness and an interest to help the town. Juveniles lead police on chase I Continued from front page base will broaden, we will have more parks and better streets," he said. "We need to apply this growth to our advantage and not stifle it plan and prepare for this growth and spend many house weighing the issues. "Previous councils have tended to ignore the recommendations of these committees," he said. "This cannot be tolerated. No governing body should completely ignore their citizen's input; to do so invites anarchy." He said that, although the city has sufficient water available, the water system is "lagging far behind in its capacity to provide residents with safe, clean water" and that drinking water storage capacity will "remain marginal without further planning for its upgrade." Park also tackled the issue of parks and playgrounds and additional open areas where families can spend time together. "We should be planning for additional areas throughout the city," he said, "areas free of commercial and residential development and to which all of our citizens have access." Finally, he discussed commercial development, which he said must be brought into the city to expand the tax base to provide services that individuals cannot provide for themselves. His goal, however, is to achieve a balance between residential and commercial development while maintaind ing a lifestyle. With water as a major issue facing citizens, Richard Smith is with moratoriums. North Utah County is going to grow and I would like to see Lehi grow with it and not against it." He felt that American Fork and Pleasant Grove have progressively grown while Lehi has taken the back seat many times. With such Micron as and projects Thanksgiving Point, he said that Lehi is now in the driver's seat. But he also felt that the burden of growth should Tbe "absorbed by the developments coming in and not by the citizens already here." Olsen also spoke out on the importance of advisory committees such as the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Power Board. Specifically, he said that an issue should not have to face the vote of a council member on an appointed board and then face the vote of the same council member at city coun- cil meetings. "I also feel that citizen input is vital," he said. "Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and each citizen should be treated with dignity and respect." Bob Park, too, talked about the importance of the committees that have been formulated to make recommendations to the council. He said that many dedicated individuals serve on committees trying to family-oriente- a intersection. The officer then used a siren, but the vehicle continued at a high rate of speed, running through several intersections with stop signs. County officers were now joining in the chase, which continue into the foothills west of SR-6Eventually, one of the car's tires became flat and the vehicle soon stopped. The vehicle was impounded and the two passengers were released to the custody of their parents. The youth was charged with theft of a vehicle, evading an officer, possession of stolen property, no Utah driver's license, possession of tobacco and curfew violation. sprinkling his campaign with an initiative for citizen signatures to limit growth in Lehi to three percent per year. According to his figures, that growth rate would mean construction on dwelling units would be limited to 147 for 1998, 152 for 1999 and 156 for the year 2000. "Our growth must be controlled because water will become a most critical issue," he said. "Micron will be using two to three million gallons a day and they have no plans at the present to recycle it." Saying that Lehi is a good place to live and raise a family, Blaine Thomas brought up several ideas to improve the community along with the growth. Plan ahead of growth," he said, "not behind it," and suggested areas where we can "move forward with interest in good programs for the people of Lehi." One of his key points was that council members have a responsibility to listen to all citizens courteously. Specific programs he targeted were recreation programs and facilities for the youth, public safety second to none, and continued cultural arts development. He also said that he has no interest in raising taxes in Lehi, yet would like to see an upgrade of existing road to accommodate the increased traffic and an upgrade of water, sewer and electrical facilities to meet the needs of the Photo by Cathy Allred Cedar Fort residents crowded into the recent town council meeting, with some finding a place to sit on the city's fire truck.
