Johnson conducted and all councilman were present. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Kicksteadt appeared before the council lo state they would like to leave their present home at 135 North Center in Lindon as a music foundation for both retarded and normal people at the time they pass away. They further stated they felt there was a great need for the furthering fur-thering of musical talent and perhaps (his would in some way help to promote these talents. Mayor Johnson and Councilman Coun-cilman Darrell Frampton thanked them for their kindness kind-ness and foresight and said the gift would be accepted in gratitude and humility. Mr. and Mrs. ICicksteadt announced their first organ and piano concert will be performed by students of the non-traditional piano teaching method on Friday, Oct. 24 at the Lindon Chapel. Don and Donna Gillies, Marie and Darrell Gillies, Jarma Johnson, Nyle Harris, Robert Jensen, Alan Marchbanks, Lee Swenson and a Mr. Phillips appeared before the council to further discuss the proposed rezoning change on 8th West. Don Gillies read a list of industries in-dustries that would be allowed allow-ed to locate if the land were rezoned to I-l and stated that this was the reason they would not want the area rezoned as such. Mr. and Mrs. Don Gillies also stated they would have no objection to having the land in question rezoned to commercial com-mercial as did the representative represen-tative from Summit Management Corp. Upon a show of hands the rest of the group voted to have the area left in the present A-l district. The point was made clear that a zone change on the property in question would not affect the zoning on the land the citizens presently live on. It was also pointed out that this would not affect present property taxes on land adjacent to the proposed i tzoniiig. Darrell Frampton moved that as the request for a zone change from Summit Management Corporation, the city leave the property described herein, on this request, zoned as is, until proper zoning ordinances can be written and the property owners in the area can agree to a proper zoning leaving them as is, both pieces and the Stone property. Motion seconded and passed unanimously. Because that Mr. Stone was not present and would need to voice his opinion on the Commercial Com-mercial Zoning, it would be impossible to come to a conclusion con-clusion on this matter at this time. Neither had there been a petition received for Commercial Com-mercial Zoning. Mayor Johnson felt that it would be better to have everything in order this time even though it might take another month or so to do it. He pointed out the proposed zoning ordinance changes had been held up by the attorney who had been too busy to give it his attention. Water and Streeets Superintendent Lawrence Johnson reported that LaVal Zimmerman has quit his job on the city work crew, and that he would like to place an ad for a man with mechanical atillty. Council agreed a new man be paid $575 to start and he be reviewed after a three-month probationary period for a raise. Mr. Johnson also reported having received the new dump truck and that he would have it prepared for the snow plow in ample time. Gene Carly of the Council of Governments appeared to ask for Lindon City input to their program. The areas of their studies for which they could be of assistance included transportation, tran-sportation, open space, capitol improvements program, flood control, water and sewer, overall economic program, recreation (off road legislative program, bicentennial plans, updating for school sites, preparing emergency preparedness programs, coordinating the Jordan Parkway Park-way system, building inspection in-spection committee and auditing. Upon a question to the city council as to what the city would like to have help with, Major Johnson informed Mr. Carly that the availability of an attorney for the smaller cities would be of great help.
