Show i Wednesday, October 8, 1986 Review - - Page 3 Lindon eyes billboard ordinance By KALYN SECRETAN Alan Reed from Bona Signs of Springville met with the Lindon City Council on Oct. 1 to discuss the billboard ordinance. Advertisers have expressed an interest in the Bona services at the Lindon freeway entrances. Mr. Reed previously met with the Planning Committee and requested rezoning to allow advertisements in the entrance area. They were not in favor. Het met with the Council and they hold reservations about giving the zone change. He will appear again with the City Planning Committee. Mr. Bona is anxious to move before a Federal law comes into effect at the end of the year possibly eliminating future signs. The council wondered if the billboard is of any value to the city and felt the only advantage would be if a local business attracted tourists whereby the city would benefit in sales or property tax. Billboards would not necessarily spotlight local businesses. The City is frustrated in efforts to finalize the Main Street Ordinance with Storehouse Markets. With the Storehouse owner out of town, City Engineer Cole Durham is also frustrated in efforts to finalize the agreement before the Oct. 3 ef fective date of the Main Street Ordinance. It is in the overall interest of the city to get Storehouse Market into Lindon, the council members stated. It was agreed to extend the Oct. 3 Main Street ordinance to Oct. 17. Efforts were being made to contact Storehouse Markets and finalize the agreement. Aspen Elementary School has petitioned Orem and Lindon City for a crossing guard. The petition held . 97 Orem and 59 Lindon signatures. Orem stresses there is no need for a guard but concerned parents are pushing for action. The council agreed to pay for a guard on the condition Orem also supports the issue.-The- also made recommendations for moving the school cross walk to another location. The adoption of Ordinance 145, which is the landfill zone change was also discussed. The conditions were reviewed with the Planning Commission, the Council also clarified suggestions and added two additional items. The conditions will be reviewed at the Solid Waste meeting by Councilman Dean Blackhurst and the decisions will be considered next meeting. I Local students join statewide fire drill Thurs.

District, AEA reach accord Teachers to vote on tentative contract this week A tentative contract agreement has been reached between Alpine School District teachers and district officials. Ardy Greening, g Alpine Education Association president and a member of the negotiating team, said last week the contract still had lo be ratified by the teachers and by members of the board of education. The tentative agreement was expected to be voted on by teachers earlier this week and prior lo the next business meeting of the board of education, scheduled for Oct. 14. A separate agreement for the administrators of the district will also be considered during the session, according to district spokesman Michael Robinson. Mrs. Greening said there were no particular issues that delayed the settlement; and that there were good feelings on both sides even though everybody didn't get what they wanted. Both sides said this year's talks have been much more amiable than last year's negotiations. Although neither side will say, it is believed the package deal agreed upon comes up to the 3.2 percent increase asked for by the Utah Education Association. Mrs. Greening was a member of the Council of Local Presidents of the Utah Education Association that recently voted to deny any and all contracts until all state teachers had received at least a 3.2 percent salary and benefit increase. She said she told the UEA at the : time of the mandate that a 3.2 salary figure was ridiculous but she felt a good percentage of the districts could come to a 3.2 package figure. Hearing on tri-cit-y UTA service Thurs. By SHARON MORREY Do people in North Utah County want the UTA bus service? If so, is it ) transportation to Salt Lake City they want or y service between American Fork, Pleasant Grove and Lehi? These and other questions pert-aining to the possibilities of putting in bus service to the local tri-cit- y area will be part of the hearing scheduled in American Fork Thursday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. in the s Senior Citizens building. Representatives of UTA will be there as well as city officials from ' five cities that could be affected; 5 Alpine, Highland, American Fork, Lehi and Pleasant Grove. d Mayor R. Kent Evans of American ' Fork says the results on a feasibility study for bus service will be released and discussed at ' the hearing. "Yes, that report will be aired. There will be an attempt to find out what the level of interest is, talk about the pros and cons, the level of service wanted," explained Evans. "The study indicated an interest in putting stops between Salt Lake and Provo for the five-cit- y area so north end citizens could have access to the transportation there." Mayor Evans said although the possibility of city to city service will be discussed, he did not think that was a viable possibility. "At least, the study did not in-dicate that strongly," he said. If the hearing draws enough people who want the bus service and city officials in each of the five cities decide they want the service in their areas, a public, vote would be required.1 'T-.;- . Police seek missing woman Pleasant Grove Police are r y i heading a search for a missing woman. Lt. Tom Paul said Etta Snyder is believed to have walked away from the Alpine Valley Care Center, 25 Alpine Avenue, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Sunday. Care center personnel, family members, police and volunteers from nearby LDS Wards searched the neighborhood and between Pleasant Grove and American Fork Sunday afternoon and all day Monday to no avail, Paul said. "The description we have on Mrs. Snyder is that she is 83 years of age, tall, 106 lbs., with dark colored hair, and wearing glasses," Paul said. He: said she walks slightly slumped over and suffers' from5 Parkinson's Disease. . "We aren't sure what she was wearing when she left," the officer said, adding she may have had on a housecoat. "She often wears her clothing layered and this may be the case now," he said. He described her as being "somewhat forgetful" but said she "often surprises you with what she does remember." She has walked away in the past, but has usually been found nearby by Care Center personnel, or has come back herself. She has been known lo ask for and obtain rides, however. Paul said Mrs. Snyder has a sister in Monticello, and a daughter in Colorado. Other relatives, including two granddaughters, reside in the Salt Lake area. Two teenagers reported seeing someone fitting Mrs. Snyder's description going towards American Fork Sunday, Paul said, and a couple driving in the area sometime later believed they saw her in the same area, only going towards Pleasant Grove. Searchers were combing fields, ditches, and buildings in the area, the officer said. Mrs. Snyder had resided at the Care Center for approximately a year, Paul said. She had made her home in American Fork for many years. Anyone having any information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the Pleasant Grove Police Depart-ment: i ; , ;.
