The meeting began at 6:00 p.m. to provide time to discuss the proposed impact fee which has been reviewed by the planning commission and council members. There were 23 people who attended the meeting to hear the proposal. Mayor Haynie explained the purpose of the meeting and the reasons the impact fee has been proposed. He explained that because of the residential growth of the city many needed capital improvements must be made and this fee will provide a means to obtain monies for these im-provements. Mr. Lee Wimmer, city conculting engineer, explained the future need for improved bridges, storm drain facilities, park property and development of neighborhood parks, and improvement of existing roads that lead into the area to be developed. The need for these facilitites will become greater and greater as the city contiues to grow. Mr. Ken Millard, city planning con-sultant, explained that in order to have futher development in Pleasant Grove the improvements noted by Mr. Wimmer are needed. He indicated that the question is who is to pay for these improvements. He reviewed the operation of the city and noted that there will always be a degree of subsidy from the general revenues of the city to pay for the needed improvements which are necessisated by the impact of residential growth. The extent of subsidy is the question which needs to be answered. With the establishment of an impact fee it places a larger portion of this burden on the people who are creating the demand for the additional improvements. Mayor Haynie noted that the proposal is to charge al' percent fee on all new residential buildings which proceeds would be used in constructing the needed r ! ; "V, MHMMMMl. iVwi - RODDY KARTCHNER Will leave for mission Roddy Kartchner Farewell Set for Sunday, 2:00 p.m. Roddy Kartchner, son of Don and Eleanore Kartchner, has been called to the Mexico-Monterre- y Mission.

It's Coming . . . Sales Days Sets Droning Saturday naments. It is a good tree this year, and the Primary organization is to be congratulated on a job well done. Maron Oveson is also to be given a hand. Without him and the UP&L equipment the lights and decorations would be very hard to put up. He comes willingly to help out. Without even a skiff of snow left, it seems as if Christmas is a long ways away. It's not, it's only 16 days away from today. Get downtown and get your shopping done. Santa was here last Saturday afternoon and the light went on at the Christmas Tree in front of the city hall. Santa also distributed goodies to the kids who came down-town, many accompanied by their parents, who perhaps got the spirit and went about their Christmas shopping. For the benefit of the many who haven't caught on yet, the Chamber officials and the Review goofed last week, and also goofed on the drawing tickets. The tickets and the advertising say the drawing days will be on Saturday, Dec. 10 and Satur-day December 17. That's not so, as anybody knows with an up to date calendar. Satur-days, for December and also the drawing dates are December 11 and 18. Make a note of this and get down-town at 4 p.m. on each of the next two Saturdays. Local merchants are busy giving out tickets to busy shoppers. Put them in the boxes provided in the stores and you might get a prize at the drawings. The tree in front of the city hall was decorated in part by th Primary boys. See photo on the back page. Maron Oveson and also another "cherry picker" were present and gave the kids a lift up the tree to place their or- - Parke Hansen Returns from LDS Mission Field Elder Darrel Parke Hansen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Darrel Hansen, returned from his mission to Little Rock, Arkansas on December 2.

From the time we fir-st began until now there has been a lot of input and changes made. There also might be a few more made before the project is com-plete. i Still, as you might suspect there are some who would prefer things a different way. That is natural and should probably even be expected. However, let's get to the business of explaining just what this proposal is. First: You will note the proposal is in three phases. The first phase includes what will be done next spring, the businessmen willing. Phase 2 deals with the parking on the east side. Phase three includes the building of a civic center and police building. Second: In phase one which will primarily deal with Main Street improvements, they include new sidewalks, where needed. Uniform foun-tains and trash receptacles, I benches to sit on while you are waiting or just shopping. (Note: the businessmen were not really in favor of ben-ches). Other items include several information kiosks, mature trees, of a special variety which work well in these kinds of areas. Brick pavers on the corners and to set them off as well as in the middle of the block. The brick pavers are set in cement to avoid unevenness. New striping of the parking spaces by pros, and the striping at crossings will be bold. On the east side of the street the curb will be ad-justed to prevent cars from roling across the road to the west side as they have in the past. The financing will be through a special im-provement district composed of the businessmen and property owners involved. Third: Phase two deals with changing the campus site in-to parking. 156 parking spaces are shown along with some more that would go in with the proposed police b uilding.
