Show City approves boiad s ale commissioners on a population basis. The Bureau of Reclamation had requested an easement for the Jordan 4 acqueduct through the Wade Springs property owned by the city. Mayor Holdaway said that because of the city's stand against the proposed acqueduct it could not approve the easement. There will be no consideration at the present time. The city would have to look at the entire easement situation throughout through-out the community before it could be considered, the mayor said. Dot Smith, city librarian, met with the council in connection with the ' new policy of the council meeting with a city department head each month. She explained that the library had a large increase this year in the number of books checked out of the library. She indicated that there had been an increased of nearly 2,000 books circulated this summer compared with one year ago. The loss of CETA workers had been a bit of a problem for her, she noted. The council suggested that perhaps some student trainees from career classes at the high school might be able to help her out a few hours per week. The mayor added that the library needed to be enlarged. Adding on to the present structure with the approval of the State Historical Society would be ideal, Mrs. Smith noted. Funds would need to be raised by the public for this expansion, Mayor Holdaway said.

The council took no action on the proposal at the meeting. City engineer, Lee Wimmer, discussed the recent testing of the Wade Springs Water supply and that the state has , indicated they want a chlorinator on this line. Mr. Wimmer noted that the masterplan shows redevelopmentn of the Wade Springs to be a need. He indicated the cost to redevelop the Wade Springs would be about $27,000. This led to a discussion of the capitol improvements needed in the water system. The engineer noted that a new storage tank is needed for the Monson system, equipping the new Grove Creek Well is a priority, updating and installing sufficient fire hydrants throughout the city, and redeveloping Wade Springs was a must. Methods of financing these improvements was proposed. The council asked Mr. Wimmer to look into the costs of bonding and any other available financial aids such as grants, etc. The mayor pointed out that the city will have several bonds paid off in 1984. Perhaps re-bonding could be held for the needed improvements which would dove-tail into the payoff of the old bonds so that no increase in taxes or fees would be needed, he suggested. Mr. Wimmer will bring some figures on possible financing methods to the first October council meeting and also the cost of a chlorinator for the Wade Springs line.
