Single Copy Price Wednesday, August 20, 2003 County is new to Levan allows for transfer of monies to general fund By Rebecca Dopp By Correspondent Times-New- s The Levan Town council decided to transfer $20,000 from the water fund into the general fund. The deficit occurred from expenditures exceeding the budgeted amount. Mayor Bob Shepherd said that there were some insurance premiums that were in the general fund that should have been in the revenue funds. He. said that if that was transferred then they wouldnt be out of balance. Were in budget, but we spent the road fund, the mayor said jokingly. The mayor also recommended that the road fund be adjusted from $60,000 to $70,000 for this year. Both motions for transfers of monies were passed by the council members present. Councilman Rod Wankier was not present at the meeting.

If water connections have to be on culinary water rather been allowed others, then they than have the well the Kays own should be allowed. Otherwise, By Myrna Trauntvein d the city needs to develop a policy so that all are treated equally. Providing connections outside the city limits is a discretionary thing, you can hook them up or deny them, either one," said Doran Kay. Outside the city limits they do not have the same rights and do not get the same treatment as people living in the city limits. The can come and ask, but it is a chscretionan issue. Newell said his personal thoughts were to let Richard Kay hook on to the city system not be his decision alone. He agreed with Fowkes that the issue should be tallied for a future time since, he said, he did not have enough knowledge to make a wise decision. Allan Ray, water master, said that if it would be possible to transfer that kind of water right but that would into the pressurized water system it would be a good idea. That way the water could be used to irri- gate city property and eliminate the need to rent water for city parks. There are a number of preliminary items to be taken care of, said Mayor Bryce Lynn, such as whether a change application would be allowed so that would be a first step, to determine whether that would be possible. That would need to be done before we would know if the transfer could be done," said Lynn. It would be necessary for Richard Kay to pay for all expenses involved in getting the line to his house. In addition, said Doran Kay, the council needs to decide whether they will allow Richard Kay to connect to city water and that needs to be done soon. Before Richard (Kay) makes a change application, we need to determine whether we are acceptable to it or not, because that would be an expense to him if we decided later that we didn't want it and were not going to allow it, said Doran Kay. As time passes, said Doran Kay, it will become more and more critical that water connections to the city system not be allowed outside city limits. Councilman Doran Kay thinks maybe we should not do anymore water connections outside the city limits, said Lynn. Mona roads will be open to ATV traffic By Myrna Trauntvein Times-New- s Correspondent Mona City has decided to post signs making all of the city streets open to ATV traffic, however, Juab County Commissioners want the old Highway 91, which is now a county road, to not be included. Old 91 should just be driven across and should not be traveled on, said Robert Steele, commissioner. It would be in everybodys best interest to not go on old 91. In addition, said Wm. Boyd Howarth, commission chairman, the road into Mona for the freeway is a state access road and the state mandates the laws for that street. Mona Council member, Harry Newell, who was not on the agenda so could not have the commission act officially, told commissioners he had just dropped by to find out how they felt on several issues. Newell said he had ordered 50 or so signs which he would post along streets. Ve want to hold ATVs to 15 mph and want it known that all those driving ATVs should obey the state law, said Newell. That means that they must have helmets, have the proper certification and training. It is against the rules to post our signs on existing sign posts? asked Newell. Steele advised Newell to make certain the city had an ordinance dealing with ATV travel inside city limits. I don't think you have to post unless you designate trails," said Steele, as long as what you expect is spelled out in your ordinance." As for enforcement, said Newell, that is not a problem. The sheriffs office issues tickets to ATV operators. At this point, the tickets do not do much to deter lawbreaking because the city does not have the proper city postings so the judges have been dismiss ing the tickets. Our young ATV drivers just laugh at us. said Newell. Perhaps the old 91 could be posted for travel along the roadway and not on the roadway, said Newell. As long as the ATV operators traveled in the barrow pit, it should not t reate a traffic hazard. said Bob It is a safety ro.ld Garrett, county superinten- dent.
