Another project the city coun- cil hopes to complete this sum- mer is the construction of at least one ball diamond at the elemen- tary school, said Young. Plans call for three diamonds on the site. The council would like to get the backstop in and bases cut this summer for at least one of the diamonds. Bleachers will be constructed using the natural slope of a hill. I think it will look pretty nice, said Young. The council would also like to build an impound yard by the fire station, said Young. Now vehicles are scattered all over town. The First Responder system the city is backing will be in the name of Mona, said Young, and will be sponsored hy the city but will actually be separate from the town. It will be much like a fire department, part of the community but a separate entity. Also facing the council during the coming year will be a decision of what to do to repair the city water tank and improvements to the city water system. Construction is taking place on a new railroad crossing automated gate on the Goshen road leading from west Mona. Where the roadway crosses the railroad, Union Pacific Railroad is installing a gate and flashing lights.

A Five Day Pass and a slight increase in camping fees on Friday and Saturday nights are other changes Utahs state park visitors will find in 1994 and 1995. The changes, approved by the Utah Board of Parks and Recreation, went into effect January 1, 1994. The fees remain in effect until December 31, 1995. Holders of a Utah State Park Special Fun Tag are allowed free admittance during the day to all of Utahs state parks, as well as a $2 discount on overnight camping on Sunday - Thursday nights. Were very pleased to now of-fSpecial Fun Tag holders a camping discount on week-fi- -' nights, said Steve Roberts, nancial manager of the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation. The Special Fun Tag is available free of charge to Utah residents, age 62 or older, who provide proof of age, such as a driver license or birth certificate. The pass is also available to residents over the age of five, who are either blind or permanently unable to ambulate without the aid of a wheelchair or other mechanical device.

The Special Fun Tag is available at any Utah state park or the divisions administrative office, located at 1636 West North Temple in Salt Lake City.

The $10 pass allows the passholder and up to seven guests traveling in the same private motor vehicle, access during the day, for five consecutive days, to all of Utahs state parks. We feel the Five Day Pass will encourage tourists to spend more time in the state, especially in southern Utah, where there are so many natural wonders and museums to see, Roberts said. Camping fees remain the same, except for a slight increase in fees on Friday and Saturday nights. The camping fee in- creased by $1 per site on Friday and Saturday nights, at state park campsites with flush toilets, and showers, and sites with An extra $2 electrical hook-upper site will be charged on weekends at sites with electrical and sewer hook-upIn raising the weekend fees, we surveyed all of the states with similar type of camping facilities to make sure our fees were in line with theirs, Roberts said. s. s. |
