Show Tuesday Night Meeting for P.G. City Council Has Varied Business Stems With Mayor Haynie presid-ing and all members of the city council present the regular meeting of the council was held Tuesday evening beginn-ing at 7 p.m. The first matter of business was to open bids on the cemetery well and pump house. Bids were as follows: John L. Christensen Construction Co., $31,971; Walker Construc-tion Co., $28,886; R. C. Jones Construction Co. $27,900 and Bouchard Construction Co., $40,283.47. The council voted to take all bids under advisement and a decision reached after con-sultation with the city engin-eer. Lee Wimmer, city engineer, also discussed with council members the need to provide input to the state about the acceptability of the state wat-er quality study. This should be done prior to the public hearing set for October. Con-cerning the need for city coun-cil members, planning commis-sion, city planner, city attor-ney and city engineer to meet together to discuss the imple-mentation of the new subdivi-sion ordinance, it was agreed to set this meeting for Wednes-day, Sept. 11, 1974. City superintendent Art Steele was present at the meet-ing to report on activities in the city departments for the past month. He indicated that there is a need to complete one area of curb and gutter which was not totally completed un-der the youth corps program. He indicated that he had re-ceived notice that there has been made available to the city a quantity of pipe from the sur-plus property division of the civil defense. Councilman Bezzant report on the meeting held last Friday with the property owners to be effected if Center Street is ex-tended east. He felt that there would be some problems in get-ting the road through but that it appeared a possibility for ob-taining ingress and egress from the east part of the city. A local citizen and property owner in the concerned area expressed his view it ap-peared that 100 South Street, which had been previously in-vestigated as a route to this area of town had been dropped because of the pressure exert-ed by several the families near the termination of the present street. The council as-sured this resident that 100 South is expected to be extend-ed in the near future and that it has not been dropped and that the council is aware of the several families resisting the extending of 100 South St., but that this road will be con-tinued to be reviewed for ex-tension. It is the feeling of the coun-cil that at this time some thought should be given to the extending of Center Street as a possible alternative to relieve future traffic problems of the area. Councilman Bezzant also re-ported on his trip to Denver, where the new community de-velopment program was ex-plained. He asked for a time when he could thoroughly re-view this program with the council members. Councilman Bezzant report-ed that the meeting he had held last week with home own-ers in the Blackhawk Estates subdivision and the contractor had proven quite beneficial. It was felt that the problems ex-isting in the development could be worked out satisfactorily be-tween the parties involved. The contractor had expressed his willingness to cooperate with the city and the home buyers. Relative to water used on the planter strip on west cen-ter, Councilman D. Ford West reported on several apparent abuses of the sprinklers. Coun-cilman John Huntsman was asked to look into this prob-lem. Councilman Frank Mills dis-cussed the program for mass transit as outlined by the coun-ty committee. The need to the council's feelings on this matter was stressed. Information about the program was presented to the council members and they were asked to review it and determine to what extent they could support the study. Shayne Luck, representing Mountainlands Association of Governments, was present at the meeting to discuss the pro-posed four city personnel dir-ector program. Mr. Luck ex-plained the advantages of this position and the cost break-down for the' four cities to be involved. An information bul-letin was given to each of the councilmen for their review. Mr. Luck asked the council to review this information and to make a decision on the matter as soon as possible. John and June Frampton met with the council to express ap-preciation of the support of the (Continued on page 6) "Pleasant Grove, the Most Beautifully Situated City in Utah County" VOL LIXX, No. 36 PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH 84062, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1 974 Pleasant Grove Stake Conference to Meet in Split Sessions This Sunday Stake President Leon R.

UP&L officials reported the shooting incident occurred just north of the city of Springville and caused the severance of a 138,000 volt power line which fell into a 44,000 volt line, cau-sing power loss to parts of Utah and north Juab and Sanpete counties for several hours. Speaking for the utility, J. L. Shoemaker, manager of pub-lic affairs, said this type of vandalism is not only thought-less and costly, but dangerous. "The vandals forget or ignore the fact that thousands of people are inconvenienced, some of whom may be serious-ly ill, or dependent upon an iron lung or other life-savin- g apparatus that requires elec-tricity." Under Utah statuteqs, per-sons convicted ox shooting any power line or related facilities can be charged with criminal offense and subject to both fine and imprisonment. Shoemaker said that Friday's act of van-dalism cost the company and its customers many thousands of dollars "certainly an avoidable expense affecting the cost of electricity," he said.
