Valley Highway (3800-400The report lists advantages and disadvantages for each site, but one thing was clear during the councils discussion of the matter - the only thing agreed upon so far is that the council disagrees on which site is right In a straw poll, council members cast three votes for the Granger park site and two each for the other The site evaluation reports no such problems with the West Valley City Park location It also finds no problem with the third site - a site that some feel is located too far from the city center That site has its strongest supporter in Councilman Claude L Jones, who said he believes the center of the city could well be west of 4500 West one day.

But the site evaluation leaves a lot to be desired, said Councilman I think we Michael R Embley should throw away the studies we now have, he said Mr Embley said the studies were inadequate for making a proper decision Mayor Jerry Maloney supports the Granger park site The upfront costs (curbs, gutters, sewer) are already in. All things being equal, there is absolutely no costs to the city, he said While expenses may be small at Granger park, the evaluation points out several obvious problems with the site. Traffic is extremely heavy at the intersection - which is also one of the worst in the city for traffic accidents. Being adjacent to Granger high, the traffic situation is compounded even more In addition, the park would be lost to the public, for the most part (There is) Potential increase of irritability of city hall visitors due to Valley Chill Of Winter Accompanies Transition WINTER WELCOMES 1985 . . .

Action taken by the board here Thursday calls for a rate hike to go into effect on March 1. For about 400,000 people in the county, that will mean about 15 percent more than theyre paying now for water at the wholesale rate. The districts 30,000 retail customers will experience an increase of about 20 percent. In addition to the rate hike early in 1985, the district plans increases in 1986 and 1987 as well, anticipating major outlay for water supplies and new facilities. The alternative to the boards eventual choice of three increases in as many years would have been to wait until 1987 and take on increase that would have meet the financial needs all at one time. That would have created an increase nearly half again as much as the present level. Individual water bills, as a result of the board's action, will increase in a varied manner, according to handling by each improvement distiict that purchases water on a wholesale basis from the district. |
