Show fht alt Lake Tribune Wednesday, January 22, DA7 1SH6 Bountiful Targets Downtown Improvements as a Major Goal Special to The Tribune BOUNTIFUL Downtown improvement was targeted as the first nf five major goals for Bountiful during 1986 by Oty Manager Tom Hardy in a recent report to the City Council Mr Hardy cites the Bay Area Refuse Disposal, expansion of the city's power system, street improvements and better parks as the four other areas "which I consider to be of critical importance in the upcoming year." The city manager suggests "a coordinated, concentrated effort is needed to bring together plans for the Turnmar downtown project, U.S. post office expansion and future use of the Stoker School as a fine arts center or to house the University of Utah's local community-educatio- n program. Mr. Hardy suggested the council should plan to allocate $2.7 million for improvements to downtown curbs, gutters, sidewalks, landscaping. storefronts and Tabernacle Square. He also suggests a new plan for downtown, "that would reflect the de sire of the council and the goals of the community." Such a plan may include restrictions on small apartment buildings which "may preclui good, coordinated planning" as the downtown expands. The resignation of Bay Area Refuse Disposal Manager Elmer Bar-loprovides "a natural break where changes could be made." Mr. Hardy recommends. "It is the (city) staff's feeling that the joint agreement for refuse disposneeds to be completely real done, and a new agreement drafted setting forth a new operational relationship between Bountiful and the other member of the BARD," states the report. The staff is also in favor of eliminating the BARD board of directors and Bountiful taking over complete responsibility for the landfill. However, "it would be more reasonable to expect that Bountiful would assume the operation, control and maintenance of BARD," while still reporting to the board of directors. . .. . Plans are already underway to the city's power system (Those plans were detailed in last week s Tnhutif community editions ) Mr Hardy suggests Bountiful must continue to fight with other cities against Reagan administration plans to raise the price of federal hydroelectric power Bountiful receives roughly 95 percent of its power from the Colorado River Storage Project, at rates designed to recoup only the cost of generating the power. The federal government is now seeking to increase those costs to market rates, in hopes of reducing the national deficit. Three street improvement projects are targeted for planning or construction this year. Orchard Drive is scheduled for a $2 million expansion, $160,000 of which will be paid by the will be with the priv.iic projects there The widening and improvement oi 500 South from Davis Boulevard to the west city limits is also planned for this year Three projects are planned to improve the city park system The city s intends to purchase the gravel pit for the development of a Vat re regional park Cost ot (Inland is expected to total $900. 0(0 Another $1 5 million will be needed to build a softball complex, landscape and install a jogging trail, amphitheater and picnic areas Another $500,000 would he needed to add eight racquetball courts, dressing room, jacuzzi and sauna to the city recreation center 4 Foss-Lewi- SAVE Rusco's SAVE 40 ANNUAL WHITE SALE 40 Use this coupon and enjoy annthei of our super lltth SA7G 2 anniversary ALL STORM savings! city- This coupon is a bonus for valued customers who hove patronized us for up to forty years and is a get acquainted offer to those who have never been in out store.
