A futile attempt was made by improvements to be made on the commercial property. Proprietor of Riverton Motors, Don Page, indicated that he faced an expense of approximately $1,800 to tear up the existing asphalt strip on his frontage, and councilman James Warr with install a sidewalk.

Chris Page from Riverton Motors stated that the city owned the Butterfield Motors land (now Riverton Motors) for several years until 1979. "Why weren't you concerned about sidewalks then?" His father Don Page continued the argument by stating that he understands the council's desire to have an attractive business community. "You have the best of intentions, but this ordinance (minus the amendment) will run business out of town." Councilman Warr made the motion to amend the ordinance, but it died for lack of a second. The effect is that the business license will be revoked for used car sales by Riverton Motors until the improvements are made. Another somewhat unpopular decision of the council meeting of off-si- Aug. 17 te was a split decision incorporation petition for denying a conditional use permit to Mr Ulrich for conducting a night towing service from his home on Redwood Road. According to City Planner Robert Buchanan, the city company can produce adequate financial statements to prove that they have the necessary backing to provide adequate cable service to Riverton residents. had requested Ulrich to apply for a business license for the home occupation because neighbors were concerned about the trucks and vehicles on the property. Buchanan stated that Ulrich had reappeared at the Planning Commission "after all the complaints were rectified." The council unanimously approved a resolution to contract for Large Animal Control Services for "dead, stray, and estray"1 animals. The City Administrator will obtain informal bids from any interested individuals, and the bid will be awarded to the lowest bidder. The council also approved expenditure of approximately $5,000 to "chip and seal" the road on 3600 West. Half the road belongs to the county, and the other half to Riverton. The work will be done between 13800 S. and 11800 S. The city will also spend $1300 to asphalt under the new bleachers in the park. By using city employes from the Public Works Dept., the city will save substantially over the cost of contracting out the work, stated councilman Steve Brooks. Dale Beckstead was lowest bidder on the Water Department contract, and was awarded the bid despite opposition by councilman Brooks. Brooks argued "there are no checks and balances if Dale Planning , Commission recommended the granting of the permit with the stipulation that as of the first of January, 1983, all trucks were to be stored in the rear of the house. Councilman James Warr made the motion that the city grant the conditional use permit as per the Planning Commission's stipulations. The motion failed Councilman Don Beckstead indicated that he would prefer to have the trucks moved to the rear of the property immediately. In other action, the city council failed to grant a franchise for cable tv service to Intermountain Satellite Communication until the 3-- 2.

Wes Taylor, who operates a video business in Riverton stated that "there is not enough business here in town." "We need to encourage more business." Don Shepherd echoed the sentiment by adding that the city needs to "ease the burdens" now placed on businesses. Tolman, Mayor Dennis Randall, City Attorney Stephen Homer and council members Sherm Monson, Chris Buttars, Betty Naylor and Howard Barben as individuals and as officers of West Jordan. The petition states as officers of the city, they are without legal power and authority to adopt and implement a resolution which allowed the city to withdraw from the state system June 22 and also the refusal to contribute to the system in accordance with state law constitutes a conspiracy and renders city officials personally liable for all costs, including interest and earnings on delinquent deposits. In addition to the petition, the State Retirement Board filed an answer to the class action suit which denies all significant causes of action. Attorney for the State Retirement Board Mark Madsen claims West Jordan's position in the system is statutory and not contractual and the rights and privileges of the city are fixed by statute. The State Retirement System does not provide for in the changes retirement position and funding on an ongoing basis. City Attorney Stephen Homer said he did not expect a quick settlement but the city and the retirement board will now be able to question each other and each will have the right to look at records. The council elected to leave the 65,000 member system because they felt money being contributed by the city was not benefitting employes, contributions made by the employer had no benefit to the employer and a study comparing the benefits showed the private plan to be superior. Presently there are only two West Jordan City employes who are retired and the average employe only works five years for the city. In its complaint West Jordan lists seventeen causes of action which includes violating the constitutional and civil rights of its employes by requiring employes to remain in the system perpetually, without the right to withdraw. The city is seeking $11 million in punitive damages for this action and $1 million for funds paid into the system. alternate W.J. history to be featured at open house Saturday Little known facts about West Jordan history and some of the, newest programs of the LDS Church will be combined during an open house, Saturday, Aug. 28 at the 1300 W. 7350 S.
