The five North Ogden Councilmen gave their quick approval to sharing the computer with Roy. Twenty minutes into the council meeting, the council had spent almost $30,000 for a computer system with only the endorsement of Roy city. Mayor McColley was apologetic about this point. This is like buying a used car. You have to trust the salesman, he said. g The new computer system will cost the city $20,000 for equipment and another $8,000 for annual maintenance. It will include a tape drive unit to run memory banks through the computer, and a printer that will print computer readouts at 165 images per minute. Dividing the cost of the computer with Roy was In a move that surprised the North Ogden City Council, Mayor Eldon McColley opened the Tuesday meeting by calling for the council to approve the purchase of a time sharing computer program with Roy City. McColley explained that because of new developments, Roy had to be notified by the end of Tuesday evening about North Ogdens desire to enter into the sharing contract. The new development involves Roys recent sale of its old computer. It was unable to obtain a new computer system until North Ogdens intentions concerning timesharing were made clear.

The entire council meeting appeared to concern money. Greg Simper of the Utah Outdoor Recreation Agency was present to explain to the council the requirements it must meet to gain a grant for a proposed parcourse in Lomond View Park. Although the parcourse is a private project, to gain federal grant money, a state, city government or other organization must pledge its full support. The city will be the agency that signs the contract with the state or federal government for the grant, Simper explained.

Because President Jimmy Carter has cut the Outdoor Recreation Agency funds by almost $3 million, instead of receiving the expected $4.5 million from the federal government, the agency expects to get between $1.5 and $2 million. Despite these complications, the council voted to support the parcourse. We should throw our full support to this project, said Councilman Larry Doman. GO a P ' mr said.

When all of the underground work is completed, a new gravel bed will be laid and the road will be repaved. A new sidewalk will also be installed on the north side of the street. The installment of the sidewalk many discussions between the city and the property owners. A sidewalk on the south side would have come within 20 feet of some of the homes. We decided to compromise, Mr. said. Shupe Property owners on both sides of the street are paying for the cost of the sidewalks. The repair bill will total an estimated $264,000. Of that cost, the storm drains and water lines will cost approximately $45,000, and street work will cost $214,000. The work is being performed by the Whitaker Construction Company. Pleasant View Stake revamped The creation of three new wards in Pleasant View LDS Stake was announced by President Jay Rhees during a meeting of the congregation Sunday at the Ogden LDS Tabernacle. Every ward in the stake was affected by the changes. All ward lines were redrawn to encompass about 350 members in each ward. Previously, the average number of members per ward was approximately 500, according to President Rhees. Equalizing the number of members should give quite a few people the opportunity to serve, he explained. It will give the bishops more opportunity to work with people, especially the youth, and give them a better opportunity to know the people they preside over. The creation of new wards became necessary because of increased activity with the new program and overcrowded church facilities in some wards, President Rhees stated. The stake created a Pleasant View 7th Ward, a North Ogden 16th Ward, and a North Ogden 17th Ward. In the Pleasant View 7th Ward, Vaughan Larsen was sustained as bishop, Neil Ballif as first counselor, and Rodney Garner as second counselor. D. Mark Manning was released as Pleasant View 2nd Ward bishop and sustained as bishop of North Ogdens 16th Ward. Wallace R. Allred was sustained as first counselor, and Stephen L. Hadley as second counselor. Jimmie D. Gray was sustained as bishop of North Ogdens 17th Ward. Gary F. Blacker was sustained as first counselor, and Richard Coleman as second counselor. In Pleasant Views 2nd Ward, Gary Mecham was sustained as bishop to replace Bishop Manning. Melvin Pobanz was chosen to be the wards first counselor, and Dennis Peterson was selected as second counselor. Bishop Gary Harris of Pleasant Views 3rd Ward was released after five years of service, and Robert Echard was sustained as the wards new bishop. Morris Parry was sustained as the 6th Wards first counselor and Richard Diamond as second counselor. In other announced changes Sunday, Donna Roberts will replace Norma Rae Liston as president of the stake Relief Society. Sherma Ballis and Peggy Critchlow were sustained as the new first and second counselors. Garth Welch was released as Sunday School president and Spencer as his Wyatt was sustained replacement.

Curbs and gutters, storm drains, and new water lines will also be installed. The new water pipes will be 8 inches in diameter, twice as large as the old (PHOTO BOYD PARKE By Nancy Lynn Krzton Plain City has a new councilman Boyd Parke, formerly chairman of the city planning commission for 10 years. Mr. Parke was appointed Thursday by unanimous vote of the city council as a replacement for Brent Atkinson, who resigned because of pressing business commitments in Oregon. Mr. Parke will finish out the remaining 3Vi years of Mr. Atkinsons term. Mr. Parke and the entire planning commission resigned last fall in a dispute over the growth of Plain City. As he termed it, there was a difference in personal philosophy. Now that he is back in public office, he plans to pursue his goal of limiting the towns increase in population. My number one priority will be to reinstall controlled growth ordinances in the city, he asserted. Im not saying no growth just controlled City Council seeks sewer for Rosehill Plain Citys City Council is trying get a sewer line installed in the Rosehill subdivision on 4150 W., but problems keep cropping up. The primary obstacle up until now has been money, but Thursday councilman Scott Jenkins reported another potential difficulty. State law requires that sewage lines have a three percent slant towards the sewage treatment plant, and the subdivision slants up, not down, making this requirement nearly impossible to meet. Mr. Jenkins said according to the consulting engineer on the project, the sewage pipe would have to be exposed to have die proper grade, and all homes on the line would need individual lift ejection systems. Between seven and nine homes would be affected, he said, adding that the project would cost $25,000 at the very least. Mayor Sam Lower said perhaps the sewer line could be placed behind the houses on 4150 W., suggesting that only a single lift station would then be to needed. He asked Mr. Jenkins to consult the engineer on his suggestion report back to the council. In other business, the council decided to make the Bowery at City Park across from the Lions Club Hall reservable any night of the week for a fee of $20. If the park is found to be clean after use, $10 of the fee will be returned. Reservations can be made with city recorder Diane Taylor. The council said anyone not wishing to make reservations was welcome to use the Bowery for free, although they would have to defer to anyone who had growth. Explaining other elements of his political philosophy, he said, "Im an advocate of very limited use of government grants. I like money, but I dont like the price you have to pay for it. Mr. Parke said the only reason he accepted Mayor Sam Lowers request to join the council was to serve the community. Having been on the planning commission for 10 years, I know its not a bed of roses, he remarked. When Mayor Lower recommended Mr. Parkes appointment to the council, councilman Kent Hurd said, I think hes as good as youll find. The council did express regret at Mr. Atkinsons resignation. Mayor Lower said, Brent really wanted to stay. I recommend we keep him in mind, and if we can, get him to run again. Mr. Atkinson asked the council to accept his resignation because his construction company has been working on a project in Oregon, making it nearly impossible for him to attend council meetings. His replacement, Mr. Parke, is the owner of W.C. Parke and Sons Co., a feedlot on Wilson Lane. Mr. Parke is the leader of the Plain City Junior Posse, past president of the Ogden Area Beef Feeders Association. He presently belongs to the Plain City Lions Club. An Ogden native, he attended Weber High School and graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelors degree in accounting. He and his wife Florence have seven children. already reserved the facilities through city hall. Finally, the council changed the date of its next official business session from July 24 to July 31 because of the conflict with Pioneer Inside this issue: Day. It voted to hold a public hearing on Plain Citys day care center ordinance July 31 at the request of planning commission head Judy McFarland, who said the commission had a number of changes to recommend to bring the ordinance in line with state law. 4 for a map showing tho now boundaries of Pleasant View Stake's wards.
