THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1978 Single Copy 15t P.G. City Council Met on Wednesday Because of the general election being held on Tuesday, the regular meeting of the city council was held on Wednesday, Nov. 8. First matters of business was presented by Lee Wimmer, city con-sulting engineer. Final payment to K&P Plumbing Co. for installation of water and sewer casings under Highway 89 in the amount of $5,990.08 were presented for ap-proval. The council noted that as soon as minor repairs were made on the sides of the road that payment would be sent. An aerial photo of the Wade Springs property was presented by Mr. Wimmer. He noted the locations of the springs and the elevation which can be served with city water. The council agreed to the area that could be sold and authorized the recorder to proceed with arrangemen-ts to allow the property to be sold. Regarding a drainage problem on Mohican Land and Nathaniel Drive, Mr. Wimmer reported on the meeting held with the developer, attorney and city community development direc-tor. It was felt by this group that the best way to correct the problem is to remove a section of the existing curb and gutter and install it correctly. The council felt that though this problem concerns several parties the city recourse is with the developer and he in turn has recourse with the other parties. The council agreed to have this work completed as soon as possible. Highway 89 Improvements Concerning highway 89 street im-provement, Mr. Wimmer noted that plans and estimates have been prepared for this work. It was felt that a letter should be sent to the ef-fected property owners indicating costs and the scope of the im-provements so that a determination can be made if the project is accep-table to them. Jon Tolman, animal control of-ficer, and John Backlund, city attor-ney, were present to review with the council a new dog ordinance. This will be further reviewed and prepared for final adoption at the next council meeting. The council discussed the possibility of setting Mar. 31 as the due date for licenses, thus coinciding with the state schedule for holding rabies clinics. An agreement with Lindon City for use of the city animal control equipment was reviewed and approved. Mr. Backlund reviewed the present status of various lawsuits filed against the city. Concerning the lawsuit filed because of the city decision to decline issuance of a special use permit to house foster children, Mr. Backlund stated that he felt the city acted properly in this matter and he has filed the necessary replies on the matter. Mr. Backlund discussed the problem of occupancy of homes prior to final inspection. He proposed a temporary water service application which would be signed when the building permit was issued which would place as a condition of con-tinued service, the passage of the home on a final inspection. The coun-cil authorized Mr. Backlund to prepare the necessary papers to effect this requirement. Final Subdivision Plats Final subdivision plats A, B & C of Noble estates located on 110 North and 600 West were presented. The council voted to approve these plats TEENAGERS OF MONTH Willis E.

Councilman Grant Atwood reviewed the feelings of the planning commission regarding the request of the developers of the Roxbury Sub-division to have the city accept the maintenance ot drains in this proposed subdivision. At this time the developers and engineers of the subdivision arrived at the meeting and this matter was discussed at length. A letter from the F.H.A. was read which indicated their desire to have the city accept the maintenance of these subsurface water drains and noted that they cannot finance the homes to be constructed unless the city will accept such maintenance. The developers noted other cities which ahve allowed these drains and have not had problems with them. The council agreed to make an on site inspection of the subdivision and to have the city engineer contact other cities who are maintaining similar systems to determine their feelings on the request. The council discussed the zone for the Miller property recently annexed to the city. The council favored a commercial-industria- l zone and it was noted that the planning commission had favored a residential zone. The council voted to hold a public hearing on Dec. 5 to decide on the zoning for this property. The proble m of access to 920 Nor-th in the Mahogony Hills Subdivision was discussed. The council felt that the developers in this area should have improved as soon as possible the east and west access to this area. Councilman Frank Mills reported that the public safety department is in contact with the cities in the north end of the county about dispatching of their public safety departments. Comment is now being received from the various cities. The council discussed the renovation of the junior high gym-nasium. Councilman Mills reported he is working on a grant to assist in this renovation and it appears very possible that the city will receive this grant. Final approval of the grant will not be received until March of 1979 and the council discussed the need to do something to the building now to preserve it over the winter months. New Officer to Be Selected It was reported that Officer Wayne Robison has terminated his employment with the city and that a new officer will be selected by Nov. 15. Mayor Cornell Haynie reported to the council that he had understood that the county commission had voted to discontinue their par-ticipation in the Council of Gover-nments. This organization is com-posed of mayors from the cities in the county who work together to solve county-wid- e problems. Mayor Haynie noted that this is a vital organization and even without county par-ticipation should continue fun-ctioning. The council discussed the disposition of 300 South west of 1300 East. This city street runs directly into the LDS Church parking lot and is unimproved. The church has been contacted about having this road deeded to them. The council voted to begin the procedure to close this street and to deed it to the church subject to the church agreeing to im-prove the road with asphalt. The council discussed the present policy of charging for an additional fee for homes which operate a business. The present policy is to charge the additional fee when toilet facilities are provided for customers andor employees. This policy will be further reviewed.
