Annexation Decision to Be Made At the Tuesday evening meeting of the City Council action was taken declaration for the manila area, set the time of the next meeting when final action of the annexation will oc-cur, approved payments for construc-tion on the central park project, set the width for 900 South Street, en-dorsed the PTA's plan to have the bookmobile stop at the schools in the city, received an update on the pro-gress of the suit filed by the city against the state for the unfair for-mula for distributing sales tax, and appointed judges of election to serve at the November election. The Meeting began at 6:30 to pro-vide time to hold a public hearing to discuss the city's policy declaration on the Manila annexation. Mayor Haynie reviewed the need for the policy declaration and the problems experienced with the original declara-tion which was adopted in June. Because of the decision of the county boundary commission it was observ-ed that the city had to go back through the steps of formally adop-ting the policy declaration. Mayor Haynie noted that the annexation is scheduled in two phases with the first phase including the area north of the present city boundary to the church road or 8800 North. Phase 2 includes the area north of 8800 North to the south city limits of Cedar Hills Town. The reason for the two areas is because of the known opposition of Cedar Hills to the city's proposal to annex north of 8800 North street. This will alow annexation of the area in the first phase without opposition and then phase 2 can be resolved through the courts. It was noted that for the first while, the Manila residents may receive city services on a reduced basis until revenues from the area can pay for providing full services. It was stated that hopefully the county will work with the city in returning to the city a portion of the special service taxes paid by these ' people to the city for payment to assist in reimbursting the city for ser-vices provided. It was noted that without this ar-rangement with the county no taxes would be recevied from the area until December of 1980. Asked if building permits forgone acre lots could be issued by the city after annexation, the council indicated that subject to approval by a planning commission to be appointed from among the residents of the Manila area that building permits could be issued. It was noted that subdivisions before they can be approved must provide for connection to the city utilities. At the conclusion of the public hearing the council voted to adopt the annexation policy and to set Tuesday evening, October 9th at 7:30 p.m. as the time to take formal action on the annexation request.

City Encourages Replace Sidewalks Pleasant Grove City is encouraging residents in the city with broken or raised sidewalks in front of their lots to have these sidewalk sections replaced. To encourage this repair the city will remove the old sidewalk and pay the cost of one half of the concrete. The property owner would then pay for the labor and the balance of the concrete. The city has arranged with a local contractor to work on these projects and the price agreed upon for his labor has been set a five dollars per hour. Because of limited funds available for sidewalk replacement, priorities will be placed on the requests receiv-ed with the major determining factor being the danger to pedestrians if the sidewalk is not repaired. Residents desiring replacement of their sidewalks should contact Mark Johnson, City Recorder, at City Hall for more information.
