Show Council prepares for new tasks determining where he wants them to serve during the coming year. During the past year the council assignments have had Donna Brock serving over the Public Safety department and Senior Citizens; Glenn Smith with water and sewer; Dell Young, roads; Norm Barton, parks and recreation, cemetery and golf course; and Dr. David Dickerson, planning and zoning. The mayor has worked with the city hall offices. At the first council meeting of the new year, the mayor will make assignments for the coming year. About three members of the council serve on a committee for each department so even though they might be working directly with only one department, they do have a say on three. Business regarding each department is then reported to the entire city council at the twice monthly meetings of the council by the council member. The residents of Pleasant Grove City are invited and encouraged to attend council meetings to keep informed of the progress the city is making as well - as the problems which confront the council regularly. By MARCELLA WALKER When the bells ring in the new year one second after mignight on Jan. 1, three Pleasant Grove City Council members will give up their positions to go on to other things. As they step down, three newly elected gentlemen will come forth to take their seats on the council. The new councilmen will be sworn in at 7 p.m. on Jan. 3 at the beginning of the first city council meeting of the new year. The public is invited to attend. Donna Brock, Glenn Smith and Norman Barton will find something else to do each first and third Tuesday evening rather than go to city council meetings. John Frampton, Dave Faux and Lloyd Ash will begin their four year term of office. We assume that Norm will be able to devote more time to his duties as principal of Valley View School. Glenn will have more time to keep the shelves stocked at the store and Donna will be able to give more time to her running (you know, she runs several miles every day and she is slightly over 70.) This is decision time for Mayor David Holdaway as he must spend time with each councilman .. . rft f 1 |
