Two young ladies of the group read two self composed letters saying that the law prohibits All Terrain Vehicles on (ATVs) and streets but, "If we can't ride scooters, what do you want us to do? Cause problems?' one letter said. Another one stated that "Scooters are a way of transportation. If you don't want us on the road, make us a place to ride." Diane Dyches, an adult with the youth, explained that there is nothing for these kids to do." She urged the council to set up anYATV route that would allow the kids to ride to the mud boggs. "Richfield has an ATV course," she said and then added, "We need to work on something so these kids will have good memories of their childhoods." Another adult agreed, commenting that youth are allowed to ride scooters in Ephraim. A third person added that with youth being idle they end up in trouble on Main Street. "We need to be allowed a little freedom," Dyches said. Councilman Milton Larson responded that the city cannot make an ATV route because no city streets go to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land. Councilman Paul Bailey, who said he was open to youth riding scooters, also stated that Utah law does not allow any self- - propelled vehicles on city streets. "What about lawn mowers?' a resident asked. Larson replied that they would only be allowed if they mowed the weeds. Although Bailey offered a compromise allowing scooters on "back streets" he also stated that the police should stop youth from riding them on city streets. The council tabled the issue until they could talk with the city attorney and research what access to BLM land would be available. Concerning law enforcement, councilman Bailey said he had been asked by residents why Moroni does not have a police When Mayor Scott Robertson said that the city would have to advertise to have an officer move into Moroni, Bailey responded that maybe an officer would move in if the city paid more. 'We make more than $ 10 an hour. We pay an officer that. Let's pay him $40,000. At that the mayor asked, "What about the grant for the sewer system?' "Don't skip the subject on me," Bailey shot back. "Let's talk about the issue. If you have someone in your bedroom, do you want someone to come from two blocks or from 12 miles away?' Robertson said that he had received no complaints about the level of law enforcement in the city and complained that many applicants want Moroni to put them through officer training and they move somewhere else for better pay. He then asked Bailey to say which department of the city should have to lose money to pay more for an officer. Bailey responded with, "It's a matter of priorities. It's more important than buying a flag." The issue was tabled so it could be discussed further. Mayor Robertson announced -- four-wheele- rs Cleary Building Corp.

Councilman Milton Larsen suggested that as long as Skyline Telecom was in town let them do it. Councilman Robert Morley suggested that d of the two proposals, the city go with Van Conn since his was the lowest bid. The council agreed to that by consensus.
