Show City council revises budget, hears requests from several delegations At a recent meeting of the Parowan City Council, an early ear-ly session was held to adopt an amendment to the city budget bud-get for the year to take care of an item of increased spending. spend-ing. This was brought about by the hiring of two men under un-der a government program of assistance to cities and towns. Wayne Eyre has been working under the general city works program, and Steve Harten, has been a member of the po lice force, both paid by a gov ernment grant But these intention to start an improvement improve-ment program there and also on the planted area south of the pool. They intend to move the irrigation ditch out of the parked area and pipe that water across the plot north of the pool and across the highway high-way for the users on the east side of the canyon road.. The north area is to be leveled, le-veled, and new top soil is to be moved in for the planting of an additional grass area. A sprinkling system is also on the agenda for both projects, pro-jects, we understand. funds have to be included in the city budget under the law. Wood row Decker, works supervisor sup-ervisor appeared to state that work was to get under way on improving the area immediately immedi-ately north of the municipal swimming pool. The Parowan Lions, have announced their Jim Pinkham appeared to ask the city to install parallel paral-lel parking alortg Center St., east of Main, and especially in front of the Post Office, as several car accidents have occurred along this area recently. re-cently. So Mr. Pinkham urged urg-ed that a move to be made for parallel parking, at least from Main Street up past the post office. This type of parking park-ing is already in use on east on that street. Wm. M. Eyre, representing the Chamber of Commerce, appeared ap-peared to ask city aid in reestablishing re-establishing the tourist information infor-mation center, on the city Park as it was years ago. It would be placed on the same spot as before, only on city property. The council gave permission for this project to go ahead, and offered to contribute any aid it can in providing the building. Jay Moore, city building inspector, in-spector, appeared to seek some changes in the city building code for the issuing of building build-ing permits. He made some recommendations on some of the new things he feels It should contain. The council felt that some changes should be made and named councilman council-man R. T. Harris to work with Moore in drawing up the proposed code. Some time back a committee commit-tee was named by Parowan City and other organizations interested, to govern the use and care of the city race track and grounds. At this meeting Roy Whittock, president of the Red Hill Wranglers, who has had a lease on the area, appeared and stated that the club's lease had expired on Mar. 1, and the way we understand un-derstand it, the club would like to renew this lease but without the committee. Then appeared representatives representa-tives of the other interests, which use the track and area, to ask that the city continue the committee to govern the track use, but that the city, make this an active organization. organiza-tion. The council discussed a new street oiling project, and considered con-sidered what streets need attention at-tention at this time with the funds that are available. The; funds are to come from the city allocation for B and C roads from the state of Utah. One street in particular that is in urgent need of attention, 400 North from Main Street west to the west edge of the city. The heavy . use of this street by trucks working in the M5 highway by-passing the city, has made it impera. tive that this street be rebuilt, This was taken into consideration, consider-ation, along with some other streets around the fringe of the city, that haven't as yet received any attention- No de-; de-; cision was made on this matter, mat-ter, however. A delegration from the Parowan Par-owan Senior Citizens group ap peared to seek permission for that group to take over the 1 care of the south end erf the Parowan City cemetery. This area, not yet used for burial plots, is still covered by pinon and cedar trees, and is used by many citizens as a dumping area for old flowers, bottles and cans used on the graves to the north. The city council approved their request, and went on record as prohibiting the dumping of this matter on the proposed area |
