The water in the tank can ; now be sent to the irrigation ponds, said Allen Pay, water Jmaster. I appreciate the way AlJ len (Pay) has set up the tank so the water mixes through and the drinking water stays cool, said Cory Squire, council member. Pay said he is now check- ter cool going into the holding ponds. He is also checking on electric flow meters. If the city is going to spend money on a flow meter, we need an accurate one so we can receive accurate data, make adjustments for flows, and check for leaks, said Pay. He is trying to get costs so the city council can make a decision on whether the city can afford to buy the meters at this time. As our city grows, we will information on costs in order to make a wise decision, he said. Pay said he had also pre- pared the stand pipe and turned it on for the summer. In addition, he had fixed the locks so that all was in working order. If the council decides to sell water, it is ready, he said. Pay and the fire department are the only ones who can regulate use by unlocking the stand pipe facility. need meters, and the city council will need to have the ing on what can keep the wa Mona City Council to send letter of protest for proposed water delivery changes By not a valid right for change, Doran Kay, council member read from the prepared letter.

Myrna Trauntvein Correspondent Times-New- s Gary G. and Ila Ranee Peterson, Darin Glen Peterson and Steven L. Kay are filing to change the point of delivery and the point of use of water in the Juab drainage basin. Council members fear the change will have an adverse affect on the water delivery capabilities of Mona. As a result, Mona council members agreed to send a letter of protest to the state engineer over the proposed water change. understand that this drainage is closed to new apWe propriation, said Kay. If the state engineer were to allow new appropriations, Mona City has other rights that have been filed that should take precedence. In addition, said Kay, the city council is concerned about the close proximity of the proposed point of delivery and the adverse effect it may cause in relation to the draw down and cone of depression in the underground water aquifer supplying the citys We understand that the water right in question was a water right that was used Tor drought relief purposes in the 1930s and, as such, was not a primary water right nor supplemental to a primary water right and, therefore, is and does not inform city hall.

' I would recommend that, in the next month or two, the council consider adopting a policy that would help with this problem, said Blair Painter, city recorder. The problem occurs when one person leaves a residence ; They begin receiving service on someone else's account. Sometimes those new arrivals still do not come in and make the change known.

Denise Pay shared with council members the plaque presented to the team. The plaque represents how well this team responded to the various accidents and home calls in the area, said Pay. It also represents the assistance we gave in during the Mount Nebo bus rollover. She said the names of the team members were all listed on the plaque along with the year the honor was received. in working as emergency medical technicians. There are only two of us in town right now, said Pay. There is some interest and I have requested that money be placed in my budget to cover tending council meeting on another matter, said he would also like to thank the Mona First Responders for the work they did to save his life when le suffered a cardiac arrest in 1999.

Or perhaps, the new renter or home occupant gets stuck with a bill owed by the former inhabitant. The new occupant really should come to city hall to make the change when they first move into the residence, said Painter. They should pay a deposit and have the utilities transferred to their name. Those who lived in the residence previously could get back the deposit they made, if it is not used up in utilities still owed. I think it would be wise to have some kind of official policy for dealing with this. said Painter, businesses approved by Council By Ti m Myrna Trauntvein es-Ne- By Myrna Times-New- s Trauntvein Correspondent Vandals have been at parks and cemetery superintendent and, as a result, Squire repaired the play- ground equipment.

This act of vandalism had been reported to the county sheriffs office and deputies were conducting an investigation. discuss subdivision problems Myrna Trauntvein s Newell, council member, the persons responsible for the damage should be the ones to pay for the repair. We are offering a $100 reward for information leading to the apprehension of the culprits, said Darlene who damaged the equipment. The vandals pushed the railing and bent it. They continued to push it back and forth until it broke. The vandals also pulled a ladder out of the ground, which took some effort. The end of the ladder was buried approximately two feet in the ground and was cemented in place. Nevertheless, the vandals managed to get it out of the ground. It took four hours to repair and I did charge the city $40 for my services, said Squire. In his opinion, said Harry Correspondent According to Nephi City ordinance, a plat is not recorded until a warrantee bond is in place. In addition, preliminary work must be done and receive a final inspection before the deed will be recorded. Contractors are always anxious to complete the work so the deeds can be recorded and they can sell the lots, said Randy McKnight, city administrator. After the staff signs off on the project work, he said, then the contractor comes to the council at council meeting where the final plat is signed and they can sell lots. Red Cliff Estates, east of the highway south of Nephi, preliminary work. This is the project north east of the high school and next to the (LDS) Seminary numbered 1300 South, is nearing the final inspection t on the subdivision project. Drainage, curb and 14-lo- gutter, and roadways are nearing completion. Gas lines, water lines, sewer lines and electricity are in place so that building could begin. Some items, such as asphalt on the roads, will be taken care of and other items still needed to be addressed have been listed by the city staff. We sent them a letter of tasks to be completed before the plat can be recorded and lots sold, said McKnight. The developer of another Nephi City approved two home businesses that will work to provide services for computer users. One is for Ncbo Cyberworks, at 440 South Main, owned by James Pemberton, and the other is for Ali Khan, who lives in Ncbo leights. for software development. Nebo Cyberworks is a business which will work to design and manage web sites and will provide network security. I will make and maintain web sites for customers, said Pemberton. Khan is a software programmer who will commute to clients. "Hopefully, my business will become lucrative and I will be able to hire a few employees," said Pemberton. Neither business expects vehicular activity and neither expects to have an impact on their respective neighborhoods. Preliminary approval of the project allows the developer to proceed with fullblown plans which the council would then review. A planned road, while not part of the current project, would still be feasible after the project is completed.
