Show Page Six - The Pyramid - April 7. 1999 Spring City reviews support of library, trading police car should have a City Water Surplus j Contract. The school taught that a citys water right is only good in the city, to provide water outside of the city there needs to be a contract. It would be good for Spring City to investigate this and also would be a good idea to have water services outside the city limits turn in shares of irrigation water to the city. I.M. Miller Group has a book that Councilman Sorensen would like to purchase. He was given some samples on impact fees and a sample master plan which he will turn over to the Planning and Zoning committee. SPRING CIT- Y- A decision was not reached concerning city support of the Mt. Pleasant Library at the March 4 council meeting. Letters were submitted from citizens who were in favor of continued support to the li- j brary. Bonnie Mellor submitted a budget handout and after the final figures were decided on by the Mt. Pleasant City Council, it was, determined that the fees may be expensive for most1 library patrons so the fee was dropped 40 percent after which,! lt. Pleasant dropped the Spring 'City fee another 40 percent, leaving Spring City with an estimated cost of $6,000. A woman from the library board spoke to the council about the need for the library. She stated that the library is taken for granted and that the library needed the cooperation of the small towns in the area to keep it run-- 1 ning. She also explained the numerous services provided by the library, such as readers advisory, children services, reference tax forms, internet services, access, word processing, inter-libraloan service and home school resources. She asked the council to carefully consider the importance of a library. Mayor Robert Allred agreed that the library is important, however, there may need to be a tax increase in Spring City to meet such a cost increase. He also noted that there are other libraries in the area for citizens to out-of-to- Police and fire report Officer Steven Pyper, on behalf of the police department, report- ed that the department is working on the drug problem. There have been a few reports of theft, which the police department has a few leads on and that the speeding violations have slowed down. Wayd White is currently attending the Police Academy and will be done by June. Officer Pyper asked the council what their plans were as far as actual training for Officer White, once he is done with the academy. Mayor Allred will work this out with the police department. Trading in the police car was discussed. Officer Pyper suggestdrive. ed looking at a four-wheOfficer Pyper also asked the council for suggestions of what the police department could work on. Suggestions included parking on the wrong side of the road at the Post Office, basketball standards in the road and problems that may occur from John Olsen driving his golf cart on roads. The fire department reported three call outs; one field fire, one shed fire and one false alarm. Training for CPR and first aid is scheduled for March 24, 25 and 26. Half the department is scheduled to take the class, the other half have completed the training. ry el use. Cynthia Allred said that it appeared that the support for the library was' not overwhelming. She was not in favor of paying the increase to use the library unless more citizens would bene-fi- t. Councilman Sorensen Neil supported paying some increase, but thought it would be possible for citizens using the library to pay the remaining portion. Spring City citizens commented that many of the kids, especially the problem kids, get help from the library, and that information is an investment. Citizens further stated that there are other programs that get help from the city, not all citizens use them, but they help pay for them. A comment was also made that if people want to use the library, let them pay for it. Zoning applications Water project Councilman Neil Sorensen met with Sunrise Engineering concerning a digitized map of Spring City and a Planning and Zoning map. Sorensen also discussed acquiring a computer system to work with the digitized map. Sorensen met with the Central Utah Water Project where several proposals were discussed. They are looking for a master plan and any suggestions on projects that Spring City would want to work with, conserving concerning water. Sorensen also met with the DevelopSanpete Economical ment, concerning suggestions on how to update the power plant, if it can be worked into the budget. Sorensen, along with the council, would like to thank Kent' Kummer for a job well done as the City Journeyman Lineman. Kummer put in 9 years of service for Spring City, in which time the system has come a long way. Sorensen would also like to thank Val Sorensen for the time he put in at water school. While there. Councilman Sorwhirh ensen attended a rla taught that when a city supplies water outside the city limits, they The Planning and Zoning Committee are working on gathering information concerning the Main Street Historic District. The Paul VanDyke Zoning application was signed by David Allred. The Historical Committee failed to make a timely decision, so the council signed the application.

The agency has kept a close watch on snowpack in the southern portion of Utah since January and found they started out very low and have gone even lower. In Fairview Canyon, Mammoth Reservoir is at 62 percent, e Huntington-Horseshoare at 60 percent. Gooseberry Reservoir was not reported. In Ephraim, the Great Basin Research Center Meadows are at 67 percent. Great Basin Research Center Headquarters are at 49 percent and Seely Creek is at 60 percent. In. Canyon Mt. Baldy is at 60 percent and Beaver Dams is at 12 percent, MantiVThistle Flat is at 53 percent and Gunnison Reservoir is full. Snowpack on the Utah and Sevier River basins are the lowest they have been since 1961.. April first snowpack are lower than the infamous 1977 drought year in those areas. ; Southeastern Utah, from Price to Moab and Monticello, are within 0.2 inches of a new record low, excluding the Price River area, snowpack are virtually nonexistent at five percent of average and springtime snowmelt runoff for this area is basically over. Low snowpack in the south and southeastern areas could create an extreme wildfire potential very soon, limiting campfires and cause open flame rules to go into effect. Streams and springs could run ' dry causing early peak flows, shortened flow duration and low flow volumes.
