R H0G T , on AD STREET SPRINGPOWT ' Vol. 7, No. 30 Thursday, July 25, 1985 50 cents a single copy Group urges building j ; of city hall elsewhere Frampton, representing a JJerned group, said he was in fir of the concept of a new city i did not feel that it was the Sea to build on to the Public Tiw ftd talked with the "t of the Public Safety I Sing and had been told that the structure was not designed for such large addition. Frampton, a detective sergeant L the Pleasant Grove Police J teDartment, said that the chief of X was not being kept informed the plans to build a city hall wing onto the building. HeSaid that the police department needed the area where the proposed city hall is to go for its own in years to come. He suggested that the city hall be on property to the north of the public Safety Building which the oty owns. He urged the council to take a second look at the proposed project and consider the expansion needs of the police department, also. He said that the plans for the proposed city hall addition did not include city council chambers and he felt that a room large enough for this purpose should be in the new city hall. Mayor David Holdaway told Mr. Frampton that he appreciated his remarks. He noted that all city buildings are under the control of the city council and that that body had to make the overall decisions for both the present and future use. He said they had to consider the city's current ability to pay for improvements. He added that he and the city council had tried to include the chief of police in their plans and had thought he was agreeable to the plans. The mayor also stated that the city council meetings do not usually draw a crowd so he felt that the courtroom which they are presently using was adequate. He noted that a f school building or the Kiwanis Room j in the basement of the Public Safety f Building can be used when a larger crowd is expected. He explained that it seemed a ; waste of money to spend a large sum on construction of a room which is j only used twice a month. The mayor also said that if the time should come that the police department needs the extra space used by the city hall addition, possibly a separate structure for a city hall could be erected. The city council had determined that the present city hall is inadequate and does not meet the state building code. The city has sufficient funds on hand in the Capital Improvement Fund to pay for the city hall addition without having to raise taxes. It was also noted that at the time the addition is built, the problems with drainage on the north and east sides of the present structure and the heating and cooling system would be remedied.

Don Peterson reported the ( completion of the 600 North and 2000 West road projects. The council expressed ap-preciation for the quality of the project and felt the purchase of new equipment has paid off. Water leakage repair is in progress. Water created problems on 400 North filling in manholes. Repair is accomplished by sealing new rings in the drill holes using quick drying plaster. It was noted loans and vehicles are available for pressure irrigation systems. The council will explore the possiblity. for pressure, irrigation. Advantages include cutting down the use of culinary water supply and doing away with irrigation ditches and ground water problems. Lindon is among the cities without insurance as of July 1.

He will assist the Water Depart-ment when he is not out on calls and a portion of the funding for the program will come from this source.

By MARCELLA WALKER On Sept. 1 the First ...p.esppaso,;. program in Pleasant Grove wiuV become a reality. The Pleasant Grove City Council gave its stamp of approval Tuesday night to the program by providing full funding for the coming year. The council had budgeted $11,000 toward the program which had a very successful trial period this spring convincing the council that it was a necessary program Dave Vickers, a Pleasant Grove Police Officer and current president The city councilmembers had expressed concern., about using., a highly ' qualified and trained in-dividual to work in other depart-ments, but were pleased to have him continue to work shifts in the police department where necessary. He will report to Police Chief Mike Ferre on matters regarding the First Response program. The quicker response time when the ambulance is called was a prime motivator for the council in adopting the First Response program. The Fire Department had ex-pressed its support of the program andthe Ambulance Association is fully behind it. Members of the Ambulance Association will be assigned to the First Response when ' necessary to give Officer Vickers a break. A First Response vehicle has been purchased and equipped and will be the first on the scene since Am-bulance personnel are on call and must first go get the ambulance and bring it to the scene. The First Response vehicle is equipped with extrication gear, life saving equipment, lighting, and first aid equipment. The Police Department will probably hire another officer to take ' the place of Officer Vickers. Council mulls sales, voting, insurance He said, however, his main con-cern was to do what the city wanted him to do. In other action, the city council approved combining voting districts for the municipal election which will be held this fall. The consolidated districts would vote at the multi-purpos- e center. Districts' 1 and 2 would be con-solidated district 1, districts 3 and 13 and would be consolidated district 2, districts 4 and 6 would be con-solidated district 3, districts 5 and 9 would be district 4, districts 8 and 10 would be district 5, districts 11 and 14 would be district 6, and district 7 would be district 7.

Carnes seeks lighter sentence Charles Alan "Chip" Carnes, convicted of conspiracy in con-nection with the July 24, 1984, slaying of Brenda Lafferty and her old daughter, appeared before Fourth District Judge J. Robert Bullock July 19 to asked for a reduced sentence. Appearing with his attorney, Tom Patton, he asked his prison terms run concurrently rather than con-secutively. He was sentenced last fall to serve three consecutive terms of five years to life in the state prison for his involvement in the case. He originally had been charged with two counts of first-degre- e homicide. The charges, along with one charge of aggravated burglary, were dropped when Carnes agreed to testify for the state against Ron and Dan Lafferty. The Laffertys were later found guilty of the murders with Dan given a life sentence by the jury, and Ron given the death penalty at a later trial. Carnes was sentenced to three terms of five years to life on two charges of criminal conspiracy to commit murder and one aggravated burglary charge. Judge Bullock took the motion under advisement, and said he will rule on the matter this week. Carnes told the Court he is sorry about what happened; that it hap-pened the day before his birthday and that it's "not something I'll easily forget." Utah County Attorney Noall T. Wootton says he doesn't object to the motion. He said Carnes was helpful and vital in assisting police in the case, and has lived up to his part of the negotiations. Mr. Patton told the Court Carnes was a follower, not a doer, and followed the lead of Ron and Dan Lafferty. Judge Bullock noted Carnes did not go to the police before or after, the murders were committed and fled to Wendover, Nev. He said he was impressed with Carnes' statement of remorse, however, and' will consider the motion this week. If the sentence is reduced, Carnes could be out of prison within five years. r r Y "T '"" I ( JY. ' - V v , y v. : u ft -- ,. r r. - 4 . ' i .! ,Y, i t , i ; ,5'f .
