Progress Program Planning Discussed Church and civic leaders met to discuss the Community Progress Program. The Planning Commission is seeking to establish priorities tor the coming year in regards to the needs and desires of the citizens of Pleasant Grove. Over the past few years the City Council has recognized a need for improvements. It is now felt that (here should be input from the citizens of the community to decide what is best for the town and what direction we will take. A Community survey will be taken with each and every household contacted. The survey will be based on an Altitude Survey in five seperate calagories. 1. Human Relations and Cultural Enrichment. 2. Economic development. Tourism, business, and the future projection of the town growth will fall into this catagory. 3. Physical environment, Air qua,;ty, garbage pick up, streets, housing, street lights etc. 4. Community services. Ambulance service, fire department, health, water. 5. Planning and initiating. Street planning and the traffic problems, protection for the children, and road conditions. The people who participate in the survey should give sincere consideration to the questions. They should answer the questions with the family so that young and old aJike might express their desires. The structure of the survey will begin with a Mayor's Steering Committee. Five leaders from the community will be chosen to spearhead the program. They in turn will choose committees. Names should be submitted to city hall for people qualified and in-terested in the project. This will be an ideal opportunity to get the feelings of the people. During the meeting it was brought out that the citizens of Manila might be interested in participating to some degree. It was also noted that they will surely need some planning for their community with the population explosion that is taking place out there. When the city council meets in January to study their budget the priority items will be taken into consideration and monies appropriated ac-cordingly. In the year it is hoped that the concept of a Government of the people and by the people and for the people can be achieved. Citizens need to be educated to the needs of Ihe town. Pleasant Grove is a town to be proud of and it is certainly a town of heritage. The Planning Commission is charged with the responsibility of carrying thru with the survey and making recom-mendations. The city desires to build stability wilh legitimate objectives.
