Show Sandy, Draper feud continues over Crescent area "Everything will be considered," stated Mayor Glenn B. Cannon. "The reported findings of the survey are not quite as overwhelming in favor of the disconnection but a large number prefer the disconnection. We don't agree with the complaints that the services are not satisfactory; they may not be real fancy but there is good police, fire and snow removal services provided." What really disturbs the council is the way Sandy is Controversy surrounding , the disconnection of the Crescent area from Draper City continued at the city council meeting Thursday evening with city manager Mike Zullo presenting the results of survey which showed residents were not as willing to disconnect as reported earlier however, a large number of residents the attending meeting also voiced concern and stated they would prefer to be disconnected from Draper. No action was taken at the heavily attended meeting, but the council agreed to review survey statistics, boundary . adjustments, openly possible alternatives most and importantly resident concerns. Following this review, the council will make a final decision at its Thursday, Nov. 3 council meeting for residents living in the northwest corner of the city east of State Street and running west to the Jordan River and from 11400 S. to 11800 S. .

"It is not very ethical and if I were a taxpayer in Sandy I would be upset if I were supporting legal action in Draper." But Sandy Mayor Larry Smith and Attorney Dale Gardiner, representing Crescent residents, who also is the mayor of Riverton, do not view the funding by Sandy as anything but in the best interest of Sandy. m J ; " I - , fejH t ' r - ,- In my petition to the council three weeks ago, calculations showed 93 percent of the Crescent area residents wanted for annexation we on negotiations and lines water the selling agreed to pay the legal proceedings because it is in the best interest of Sandy for the Crescent area to be out of Draper and into Sandy. For over a year we negotiated on the we price of the water lines but could not get a fair price, he added. Residential views are divided with many concerns being petitioned terminated to annex to Sandy and if the boundaries were to be adjusted it would leave most of the in Draper but businesses and residences agriculture would go to Sandy, replied Gardiner. If they wait and have a court case like the one with Bluffdale they may lose more and I would like to know how did that benefit the town of Draper to lose all that land?

We have paid $27,000 for a metering station but negotiations have been stifled since Sandy is interested in annexing the area. Also because Sandy will not issue any new water connections, no new business or dwellings could be developed for the past two years. In our survey we found 58 percent of the residents favored disconnection but 87 percent were willing to talk further and work out differences, reported Zullo. In addition, 75 percent were willing to give the city six more months to work on the problems and 62 percent felt it was not morally right for Sandy to fund the disconnection. "It is just a select few working with Sandy who are interested in getting the disconnection and we receive threats that they will take what they want," added Sites for voter I t .J..jtft.jl : :l "My attitude is that this community has no business being in Draper and planning objectives would be better served by Draper facing up to that fact," said Gardiner. We are very willing to take the area in and have it united with the rest of the Crescent area already in Sandy, explained Mayor Smith who added that Sandy felt it had a certain obligation to the residents who wish to disconnect. Despite the bantering, the central issue revolves around which water, prompted residents to petition the council to consider realigning the city boundaries so Crescent could be annexed into Sandy. Residents felt Draper had failed to provide water services and other municipal services to the area and the residents said they identified more with people to the north in Sandy. said Zullo Responding, been held has hostage Draper Ave., .

Governor signs Midvale Middle proclamation The studentbody officers from Midvale Middle School spent a few minutes with Governor Scott Matheson in his Capitol Hill office Thursday morning and watched proudly as the state's chief executive signed into law a proclamation they had written. The document could have proclaimed no better nor more noble a cause than the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. Studentbody president Todd West explained that idea came from the school's PTA group, who wanted to do something to The display patriotism. studentbody, said West, has really gotten behind the project and to date $500, half the stated goal of $1,000, has been raised. "I'm glad to hear it," answered the governor. "It's certainly a very worthy cause and everyone connected with it should be congratulated." Midvale Middle principal Don Ragsdale said the PTA got the idea when they heard of President Reagan's request of private donations to pay for the much needed refurbishing of the "grand Old Lady."

Riverton council avoids lawsuit with developers council Riverton City members passed a motion Tuesday insuring correction of flooding problems in Edgewood Subdivision and resolving some basic differences with Heritage Property Company owners. After a lengthy discussion with Larry Bradshaw of Heritage Property Co. and officials of the Riverton East Drainage Riverton District, City officials went into a closed session to determine if a lawsuit against two was the companies warranted. Various flooding problems in A Edgewood Subdivision have been traced to the subsurface drainage system installed by Heritage company and approved by the East Riverton Drainage people. To avoid a lawsuit, Larry Bradshaw of Heritage Company offered to replace 700 ft. of pipe and gravel in Edgewood if the city would agree to a 100 percent release of the bonds on two of Bradshaw's other projects. "I don't think we should stated negotiate," Mont Evans. Evans then motioned for the council to council-memb- er (cm ULY IT v 4 1 proceed with legal action to force Heritage to make the necessary repairs. Referring to Bradshaw's offer as a bribe, council member Russell Peterson replied, "They are separate entities, they (the projects) should not be tied together. "I tied those items together because of advice from your city attorney," said Bradshaw. Further directing comments to Bradshaw, councilmember Peterson stated, "we're not out to get you, but you need to follow the procedure, if you'd done that, then there'd be no problem." In an effort to compromise, councilmember Mont Evans made a new motion asking that Heritage Co. repair the 700 ft. line in Edgewood, correct the drainage problems on 12400 S. and make all necessary repairs in Brookwood Subdivision H. The city in turn will release all the bonds associated with the projects when the repairs have been completed and inspected. The council also voted to rescind the motion on the lawsuit against The council Heritage. the approved unanimously motion. In further action the council named Keith Coleman, 13726 S. Buckboard Way, as a new member of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The council also passed a new shooting ordinance which the city r ( Delegation from Midvale Middle School joins Utah Governor Scott Matheson for signing of proclamation the students drew up, pledging the school to raise money for the restoration of the Statue of Liberty.
