Val Christiansen made an appearance about his property and the UP right of way at the Hardy station in Lindon. Kent Prestwich met and talked about his sub-divisionand sub-divisionand Wayne Johnson said that that the Planning Commission can probably go ahead and get a preliminary plot to the city council to get it signed and then get a final plot later. There was also some discussion here as to why Mr. Prestwich was being delayed and what he could do to get finally ready so he can proceed. A special planning commission meeting will be called to get this taken care of. Several other items of business were also discussed at the meeting concerning sewer hookups and other building problems in Lindon. (Continued from Page 1 ) and Urban Development funds, this line to the industrial in-dustrial area was not specified so the money could not be used that that purpose. Sewer Project Wayne Johnson informed the council that Attorney John Backlund had given written notice to Tolman Construction Co. Tran-samerica Tran-samerica Insurance Co. and Don R., Strong, attorney at law, that Lindon City would invoke the provisions of section 18.2 of the contract by Oct. 20, 1976 unless Tolman Construction resumed construction con-struction on Schedule No. 1 of the sewer project. The council, after discussion, decided to put a moritorium on building permits above the Murdock canal until such time as an acceptable plan for water storage and distribution is submitted to the city. This was seconded and passed by unanimous vote. The problem stems from getting gravity flow of water to homes above the canal. Brian Pead presented the fee schedule for the animal control officer as follows: Picking up dead dogs, $5 per animal; other dead animals, $2.50 per trip; disposal of live animals, $2.50 per animal; animal complaint, $1.00 per trip; licenses whether bought at home or at city building, $8.00 for female, $4.00 male dogs; impounding fees $7.50, dogs, $2.50 cats, $10.00 for horses and cows; removing cattle and horses from public highways, $5.00 per hour for time required. Mr. Pead explained that by raising the fee for picking up stray animals and dead animals this would encourage the animal control officer to do this. Already last month she had picked up 39 dogs. Lindon City has a working agreement with Orem City for disposal of dogs. Mr. Pead recommended and moved that the council accept the foregoing list as the new fees for the animal control officer. He said that the city would receive no revenue from the project at this time, but felt that there is a need to get ridf rid of stray dogs. Mr. Pead said he would study this matter further and bring additional information about dog handling and stray animals as a revenue producting matter to the next meeting. Speed Zone in Lindon Mr. Pead also said he had checked with the Highway Deaprtment and they are conducting surveys both on reduction of speed and installation in-stallation of a median strip on State Street along the Farmers Far-mers Korner area. They will inform Lindon City of their decision. Sewer Problems Again Larry Johnson, reported having installed four water conncections, fixing ten lines broken by the Tolman Construction Co. It was suggested that he keep accurate ac-curate records of man hours and expenses for fixing these and present them monthly to the construction people. -Douglas Johnson also suggested the supervisor get a signed work order from the construction people for fixing broken water lines to protect the city.
