Show 8, May 1991 The Three Page Pyramid CIB approves $800,000 loans to develop Fairview museum SALT LAKE CIT- Y- The Community Impact Board has given its approval for two st $400,000 loans for the development of the Fairview Museum of History and Art. The loans are contingent upon repayment of the second loan at a rate of $20,000 annually for 20 years. The other $400,000 loan includes withholding about $70,000 from the project and putting the money in an interest-earnin- g account which will repay the $400,000 in 20 years. Members of the museum board met last night with the Fairview City Council to study several revenue options to come up with $20,000 annually to repay the second $400,000 loan. If funds are not found the entire project could be zero-intere- jeopardized. The CIB gave its approval to the $800,000 expansion project at a hearing in Salt Lake Thursday morning along with several other cities who were competing for funds. The project will include complete renovation of the old junior high building to house the ancient Columbian Mammoth which was discovered under the Huntington Reservoir Dam in 1988 and remodeling of the present museum facility which is located in the towns old rock elementary school. Also included will be landscaping of the entire area. The presentation to the CIB which lasted nearly 40 minutes was done by Director Curly Swensen, Mayor Jerry Hansen, board members Vcrn Fisher, Jerry Hansen and Harris Cheney. Also attending and giving support were Don Haag, director of the Utah Museum of Natural History and John Markham, from Markham and or Hansen explained that the citys water, fire and ambulances services arc good. He added that CIB members were concerned with Fairviews failure to support a city-wisewer facility which was to be partially funded with CIB money, but felt the mayor had done all he could to support The $800,000 will allow the museum to expand and bring in more exhibits as well as de the project. The museum was founded 25 years ago this coming August by the late Golden Sanderson and Lyndon Graham along with other citizens concerned with preserving the countys history. It is now operating with Swensen as the director along with 15 volunteer board members whose expertise covers a broad spectrum from finance, exhibit area displays, building and grounds maintenance, publicrelations, documental ion and cataloging of exhibits, advertising and promotion. Some of the displays include those of the renowned sculptor Avard Fairbanks. The carved miniatures of Lyndon Graham and many pioneer artifacts and other objects are also on exhibit in the museum. Markham, the architectural firm working on the project. Reporting on the CIB hearing Swensen said a petition signed by 263 adults in the community supporting the project was instrumental in giving the project a boost. He added that apparently outright grant funding is going to be difficult as government funds become tighter in the future. Swensen reported that May Citizens speak out Spring City cleanup commended; object to approach, uncertainty Not all owners attending last property weeks special council meeting April 30 were sure what action was necessary to bring their lots into compliance. Others have elected to let the city hire a backhoe, clean up the property and send them a bill as Mayor Ron Christensen reported one Grand Junction man authorized before the meeting. Still others objected to the city issuing ultimatums when it was unable to correct its own violations (city property is also on the "hit list") and' had not responded to one property owners request for two years to remove stumps on the city right of way. Some patrons commended the city for taking on a clean up project, but objected to the way it was being approached.

"But they didn't even get to our side of town, they were too busy handling the trash in the mayors neighborhood," Van-Dy- ke said.
