Mayor David Holdaway suggested that the amount assessed be paid. In addition, David Fullmer, who is the new band director for Pleasant Grove High School, had asked the city council for $200 to help with the summer band . expenses as it represents the city in various parades. The money will assist with special training the band needs for these activities. The city council-approved both of these expenditures. City Engineer Lee Wimmer reported that a considerable amount of damage had been done on 1100 North from 500 East to the Murdock Canal. He estimated the damage at $28,000 and said he believed it had occurred because the contracter on the Central Utah Project had diverted water down 1100 North, saturating the shoulder of the road so that when trucks drove over it, it caused damage. He said he felt that the contractor was responsible for the damage and that the repairs should be made before the project continues. The road was just overlaid last summer, he reminded the council, and the road should have handled the traffic if it had not been saturated by the water. The contractor's representative reported that the weather was very wet at the time the water was pumped. He also stated that another .contractor was working above the ' site with trucks and the contractor in question was not driving trucks over the site at that time. He added that although his company was definitely responsible for some of the damage, he did not feel they were totally responsible. It was explained that the contractor con-tractor had blocked the normal drainage and this caused the water to go down the road. The council told the contractor that the city would not issue a permit to cross 200 South until the damage on' 1100 North is repaired or a bond is posted to guarantee the repairs. |
