Mayor Haynie argued that he had heard that Salt Lake was looking for other ways of getting water to that area because of the evaporation and seepage from the Murdock Canal anyway. Council members felt that the cities in the north end of the county don't really need the CUP water but feel it is being shoved down their throats. Mayor Haynie said that Pleasant Grove has plenty of water with existing wells and proposed wells for many years yet. He stated also that the agency believes pressurized irrigation water could be used to water lawns and trees so that culinary water would not have to be used and residents would recognize a savings here. Council also approved the purchase of three new police cars as long as the budget allowed is not exceeded. It was felt that two of the Olds-mobiles Olds-mobiles should be kept to replace the two Fords being used by the planning and administration department. Because of the expense of the police package the regular package will be purchased. Councilman Steve Peterson reported that the police are patrolling Main Street to enforce the "No Left Turns" over the double yellow lines. Signs are now in place reminding residents that it is illegal to make left turns across these lines to parking places on the other side of the street. The city council approved the acquisition of signs for the Public Safety Building, Library, Bell School, Shannon Field, and city entrance signs. These signs are available from the YACC program for the cost of materials. Some signs have already been placed at the Recreation Office and Battlecreek Park. The council called for a cost estimate to renovate the old junior high school gym. Council was told that this need will become more imperative if the school district holds to its present decision of not letting the city recreation programs use the Pleasant Grove Junior High School. Councilman Holdaway discussed the lack of water pressure on 200 South below the pressure regulator. He reviewed the alternatives to alleviate the problem. He said they could move the regulator down the road or they could extend a four-inch line parallel to the present line but hooked above tne regulator. Estimated cost of the new regulator was $6,500. It was felt that the running of another line would cost considerably con-siderably less. |
