Bearing 19 signatures, the petition asked for annexation of their property with the understanding that it makes accessible to us culinary water plus all other city services. Dean Udy who told the city council that he owns 15 acres north of the city, said the main service would be to homes. Right now we cant get water out there. If the idea is to build a home out there, you just cant do it now. Im sure if we got water there would be a lot of home building, Udy declared. This is not the first proposal for annexation in the area. Such a move was investigated in 1961 and Recorder Tolman Burke said a report was done on the feasibility and cost at that time. Referred to Commission When the current petition was received Nov. 16, 1972, it was referred to the planning commission and planner Ken Reynolds reportedly said plats would have to be prepared showing utilities.

In addition, the previously prepared map and 1961 report will be referred to the planning commission for a preliminary recommendation.

The council agreed to a funds trade-of- f with Box Elder county for its jail project and heard recommendations from the League of Women for library board changes. Councilman A1 Cazier said he had been contacted by Boyd Newman, chamber of commerce president, and informed that a poll of chamber members showed support for the sales tax.

Of these 17 voiced favor for the tax, three were undecided and five were opposed. Committee Named On a recommendation of Councilman irsieds tat a committee was Byron Armstrong, named to review BOR funds and city projects which these matching monies would help to finance. The panel, composed of Councilmen Armstrong, Cazier and Dale Baron, was charged with making recommendations at this weeks Thursday night meeting.

The council agreed to let Box Elder county use $15,000 which had been allocated to Brigham City this year for expansion of the police department.

In This combined with the citys 1974 share from the Utah Law Enforcement Planning agency should provide a total of $25,000. And Cavalli said he would work to increase this amount to $30,000. Box Elder county expects to have final plans and specifications ready this month for its new jail complex and will utilize the trade-of- f money to buy equipment for the expanded facility, Cavalli indicated.
