Relative to repairs needed on the recently paved 200 south street it was felt that the contractor be asked to make the repairs in the early spring. Concerning the diffi-culty of snow removal on dead end streets Mr. Steele reported that is it felt by the street de-partment that these areas can-not be serviced. The council felt that where it is not pos-sible to turn around with the snow removal equipment that these areas not be serviced by the street crews. The matter of periodic of water hydrants at With Mayor Jack Cook pre-siding and all members of the city council present except Councilman West, who was excused because of work the city council held their f jrst reg-ular meeting of the month Tuesday evening. Garland Mayne, disposal plant operator, was present at the meeting to discuss with the council the need of purchasing equipment and materials in order to take certain tests as required by the state division of water quality standards.

Dave Greenwood, represent-ing the Utah State Highway De-partment met with the council to discuss various programs' of the federal and state highway departments. He explained the Urban Road System and sug-gested to the council that the city engineer submit a list to roads to the local council of governments which the council feels should be considered for improvement. Mr. Greenwood also presented forms and infor-mation to be used in requesting Class "C" road allocations from the state. He recommended that these forms be completed and submitted as soon as pos-sible. David Stanton of the depart-ment of community affairs met with the council to discuss the housing program for the needy under the federal housing act. Because of the relatively small amount allocated to each city ($15,087 to Pleasant Grove) the cities are allowing the county housing authority to handle the dispersing of the money in those areas where it is most needed in each city. The coun-cil felt that they should use the county administration and pass a resolution to allow the county agency to administer funds of Pleasant Grove but that the city maintain control of how the funds will be spent in Pleasant Grove. Rodger Dudley and Boyd Wathen joined the meeting to discuss the proposed sewer line from the Blackhawk Subdivis-ion to the present existing sew-er line on 900 South street.

The ARBC recognized that through Scouting's Bicenten-nial Program, youth and adults will find a meaningful relation-ship between their active parti-cipato- n in Scouting and the spirit of the Bicentennial. Scouting identified this rela- - tionship through existing and newly-create- d programs from 1973-7- These programs direc-tly contribute to the develop-ment of youth, forge an incre-ased awareness of family rela-tionship, and enhance aware-ness and support of projects af-fecting community, national and international progress. Special task forces of adult volunteers, youth members, and BSA professionals on the nat-ional level have been working for over two years to develop a Bicentennial observance pro-gram that would be meaningful to members of the Boy Scouts of America. These task forces have integrated BSA monthly program themes, national act-ivities, and suggestions for lo- - cal programs into a package ' that will immediately involve ' all SBA members into the spi-rit of the Bicentennial.
