Show Page Eight - The Pyramid - August 28, 2003 Youth Manti City to council litre ZAN officer MANTI-- - The Manti City Council approved the hiring of a Zoning, Animal Control and Nuisance (ZAN) officer at their regular meeting, Aug. 20. This will be a $13,000 per year position, according to City Recorder Administrator, William Mickelson. "The income will include a base pay of $800 per month, plus $100 for fiiei allowance. The city also expects the ZAN officer to receive about $1,750 from dog license sales," Mickelson 24-hou- r, added. Councilman Walter Fife worried that the position would cost the city about $2,300, which would come out of the General Fund, but Councilman Mark Anderson disagreed. "Its not a negative," Anderson said. "Its a positive, because it comes from the $5,000 we will take in. The proposed revenue will be $14,000, so what is left will be gravy." Mayor Kim Anderson commented that the income from dog licenses and zoning for fees will match the out-g- o the ZAN officer position, so "be a it would actually wash. " One of the responsibilities of the ZAN officer will be to measure the house or building setbacks from the street and other property from the porches and eaves, the council decided. Letter There was a letter councilmens packets in the blamed most of the recent power outages in the city on Scottish Power, then added that the Utah Municipal Power Association, to which Manti is tied, is talking to them about the issue. "We need to feed power from Gunnison or from Nephi," Justesen added. The mayor told him that Manti is already looped to obtain power from both directions if necessary. Water problems Concerning the reports of dirty water coming out of residents taps, Justesen stated that, "People should not get too upset with the dirty water. It is chlorinated and air in the water is to be expected." statement was in response to Walter Fifes comments that sometimes the water comes out looking like it is carbonated. That Other business Manti resident, Karman Riddle, had asked that a $557 bill for an impact fee charge be waived. The fee dates back to when there were no impact fees in Manti. Riddle had brought up the fee issue during a previous meeting. The issue was again taken up this time with both Justesen and Loren Thompson insisting that the bill be paid The council Riddle. by agreed by consensus. Phase two of the Manti City water project was presented to the council by John Iverson, city engineer. The work on the project should start in September. Iverson also explained that the contractor must go door-to-doto let the residents know that their water would be shut off during the that Alan Justesen wanted everyone to sign but did not want the public to know what it contained. "It is too early for the project. "No water would be shut public to know about the off for more than an hour or situation," Justesen said. The council talked about so and none will be shut off the letter but not about its overnight. Most of the water contents, until they were will be shut off at intersecpushed to do so by Linda tions where connections will be made and the line already Smalley, an audience member. After some hesitancy, in existence can handle any the mayor commented that, small increase in pressure," Iverson stated. "We have some concerns about the pageant." Bids for custodial service Walter Fife shed some Manti City Building the at more light on the subject and Complex, along with the when he commented that the disletter concerned "people who library were opened, for tabled and then cussed come to try to sue us." The consideration. further added Mayor Anderson that the city needed to get council did decide not to some guidance from the include the library in the state. At that, the issue was custodial contract. The council will not set dropped. a policy concerning colup Power outages lection of past due bills from In a report to the council, but will let utility Justesen Alan Councilman the city treasurer write up that policy. Mark Anderson brought issue of the vacant lot the up east of the old Rivers West building, now the Manti Business Association building, that the National Guard wants to expand onto. The residents around the lot are now using it to enter the backs of their property, which the Guard is aware of. The council decided to further discuss the matter and it was tabled. The city will not put new landscaping along the east side of the cemetery, but instead will put down some grass seed and see if the present sprinkler system will water it. Blake DeMille will become the new member of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The commission will also be urged by the council to attend a training meeting in Salt Lake City, because they have "gone outside their authority in some areas" according Mayor Anderson.
