Show City Council Session Held on Tuesday The City Council met in regular session last Tuesday evening to transact regular city business. The meeting began at 6:30 p.m. in order to provide time to hold two public hearings. At 6:30 the council met with Mick Miller and Kent Evans, owners of property recently annexed to the city, to give this property a zone. There were no others in attendance to present their views on the matter. It was reported that the city council favored a light manufacturing zone for this area but the planning consultant had recommended a residential zone. The owners noted their preference for a commercial zone rather than a residential zone. The council voted to zone the property C-l (light industrial and retail). Wade Springs Property At a 6:45 public hearing to discuss the Wade Springs property and the proposal to declare a portion of this property surplus, the council voted to declare a portion of the property surplus sur-plus and to place this property for sale on a bid basis. The council also voted to sell the building lot remaining adjacent to the new 200 South well. It was agreed that an appraisal ap-praisal of these properties would be made and that a minimum acceptable amount would be placed on these properties. It was reported that the audit report for 1977-78 will be presented on Tuesday evening, Dec. 12, at 7 p.m. All council members were encouraged en-couraged to be in attendance at this meeting. Doug Collett, developer of property proper-ty near the present Lindon landfill, met with the council to request that Pleasant Grove City sign a petition to be presented to Lindon City for annexation an-nexation of property owned by the city in the area of the landfill. A map of the area to be annexed to Lindon was presented and reviewed. The council expressed concern about how Lindon would provide sewer service to these areas, as it appeared ap-peared that the sewer could best be handled by the lines installed by the Timpanogos Special Sewer District. Mr. Collett reported that a pumping pum-ping station is proposed which would take the sewage from this area to Geneva Road and then to Orem's treatment plant. The cost of a pumping pum-ping station was noted and the council coun-cil felt that the effected property owners should be aware of the costs and ramifications of this station. A public hearing on this proposed annexation is planned soon by the Lindon City Council, and Pleasant Grove City officials felt that it should have a representative present at this meeting. Water Quality Plan Dale Berg from the Mountainlan- ds Association of Governments, was present to explain their role in implementing im-plementing the 208 water quality I management plan. A memorandum of understanding between the city and M.A.G. was read and reviewed. The council voted to approve this agreement as that which set forth in the document, the city is presently already doing. Relative to repairs at the Old Bell School, located on 100 East, Councilman Coun-cilman Steven Peterson reported he is still obtaining cost estimates for the work that needs to be done. Councilman Ford West reported on the need to upgrade the water line on Highway 89 from Alpine Drive to the south city limits. The size line and the number of fire hydrants needed was noted.

It was noted also that the state is planning to resurface the highway and that this work should be completed com-pleted prior to completion of the resurfacing project. New Legislators Present State Senator-elect Bill Jones and State Representative-elect Paul Rogers were present at the meeting by invitation of Mayor Cornell Haynie to discuss legislation important impor-tant to the city. The need for the local sales tax to be distributed on a per capita basis was discussed. The need for enabling legislation for cities to impose an impact im-pact fee was also noted. The need for a freeway interchange for Pleasant Grove was a third item which was discussed with the new legislators. These men noted their desire to assist the city and to work to help the city in these three areas. Mayor Haynie recommended to the council that they attempt to attend at-tend the clear air meetings scheduled by the state which will be held this Thursday at 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. in the Orem City Center. These meetings will have a great effect on the future of the Geneva Steel plant in Utah County. The need to hold a meeting of the Board of Equalization in conjunction with the recently completed special improvement district was noted by the recorder. He noted that he had contacted the bonding attorney about the procedure to follow in issuing the bonds for the district and was told that because of the changes made in the assessments because of allocating driveways, that another meeting of the Board would have to be held. The council passed a resolution which set a meeting of the Board for Tuesday, Jan. 2, 1978 at 6 p.m. |
