With last weeks city council meeting starting to wind down after running more than two hours, many in the audience had already left before the council reached the final item on its agenda. Unfortunately, by leaving early they missed the most important, and unexpected, action of the evening. It was anticipated that the council would finish the meeting by giving swift approval to final language on a pamphlet to be distributed to city residences explaining the West Valley highway bond election. In- stead, the council surprised everyone by voting to keep the issue off the ballot entirely. The decision reversed last months unanimous council vote to place the matter on the Nov. 3 ballot. The catalyst for the reversal apparently was a strong appeal by former West Valley Mayor Gerald Maloney, who urged the council to reconsider its previous action. Maloney, who asserted, I want to make certain that the highway will be built. made it clear he feels bonding is the wrong approach: No one ought to vote to mortgage their home to build a state road Maloney predicted that city residents would defeat the measure. He noted the highway will serve a function similar to 5600 West and East, both state highways. Maloney also observed 700 the highway never will be built if it is attacked individually. Instead, he said all of the governmental entities tht will be impacted should get together and lobby the state. West Valley residents Rodney Cox and Larry Shurts followed Maloney and told the council they both are also opposed to bonding Councilwoman Janice Fisher noted that, even if most residents want the highway, a no vole on Percent Cast Ballots 10 City Council Cancels Highway Bond Vote bonding would make it appear to state officials that residents dont want the road.
