Commissioner Jerry Wagstaff noted that city employes preferred the state system to Social Security. With the state retirement program, the city and employe pay matching funds into the system each payday. The city has the option of paying up to five percent of the employes total (8.95 percent). The city commission Tuesday elected to go that route. The city also agreed to pay five percent of officers shares headed for the police retirement fund.

What all three high schools have is a street named in honor of their school mascot Granger high joined the other two schools in this category Thursday when the West Valley Planning Commission approved a request to give 3650 South the name, Lancer Way. Granger student body president Jay Shumway submitted the requested name change to city planners after having collected the signatures of more than 50 percent of the residents or businesses on the street. Lancer Way will run from 2700 to 3600 West, where it terminates in front of the school.
