Show Review - Wednesday, February 12, 1986 - Page 3 Lindon mulls landfill expansion l By KALYN SECRETAN M The Lindon City Council discussed the Landfill Expansion Zone Change in .preparation for the District Sold S Landfill meeting which will be held Feb. 24 at 5:30 p.m. in the Orem '.';City Hall. The District is made up of representatives from the cities involved and a chairman and vice-chair-are elected for one year " periods. The council discussed concerns Lindon has before a zone change will be granted. e5 The landfill is located in Lindon 'i, City, while landfills are desirable in tt California b ecause they fill up so is fast, it takes many, many years in Utah. to The city feels like it will grant a zone change if they feel it would 1 benefit Lindon. Hi The following conditions must be satisfied. The landfill will be the ti property of Lindon on completion. fs The finished project will be determined before a zone change. It will be groomed and landscaped through funding available through the EPA. A timetable is needed. Will the old landfill be finished before the new one is started? While the state is interested and may be pushing for a rifle range or motorcycle cross, Lindon is more interested in a golf course or park. They want to know how high the landfill will be on completion, the burms planned and how blowing debris will be controlled. They would like to see the police crack down on people who travel to the dump in uncovered trucks. In other council business, recommendations are being sought for a new Justice of the Peace, the present judge is unable to continue due to the age retirement. The Pleasant Grove Strawberry Days Committee would like the city to appoint a representative to serve on the committee for Strawberry Days June 18, 19 and 20. Lindon girls are encouraged to enter the Queen Contest on March 29 and the Rodeo Queen Contest on May 10. The Lindon Fair Rodeo Queen will ride in the Strawberry Days parade and rodeo. Councilmen from American Fork met with Lindon in an annexation meeting. A right-of-wa- y easement was discussed and control on sewer in the area. Lindon suggested an inner-cit- y agreement, as the agreement Lindon has with Orem where some homes are served by Lindon. American Fork questioned how the northwest annexation took place but Lindon pointed out how everything was handled in a legal way. A future meeting will be held concerning issues with the an-nexation. Business loans suggested for block grant funds In the first of two public hearings to secure ideas for uses of Com-munity Block Grant funds, Mayor David Holdaway suggested that the city apply for money to use as a base for low interest loans for economic development in the community. ' The city council will not make a decision on what they will apply to use the funds for until after the second hearing on Feb. 18. The mayor said he would like to see loans be used for merchants to redo the east side of Main Street between Center Street and 100 South. He said the money could be loaned for renovations to try and help develop businesses downtown at a low interest rate. A special com-mittee would be set up to determine who would be able lu oorrow the money. Mayor Holdaway said that the low rates would be appealing to some of the merchants and when it was paid back the funds could be loaned again to' others. Hopefully, this would encourage economic development, he said. He said that this might well be the last time that Community Block Grant funds are available because this source of revenue may be cut off with federal budget cuts suggested. He added that use of the funds for economic development fell within the guidelines used by Moun-tainlan- Association of Govern-ments in determining who gets the block grant money. One resident in attendance suggested that a city park could be developed with the money or assistance given to the recreation program. The mayor said that this would be given consideration and asked the council to give the matter some thought so that a good decision could be made at the next council meeting. In other action, the council ap-proved the hiring of a full time person, perhaps on a temporary basis, to handle the drive-u- p window at the new city complex and to help the Building Inspector with paper work. Mayor Holdaway discussed the new county Justice of the Peace policy which will reduce the number of J.P.'s to two, one for the northern and one for the southern parts of the county. He asked the council's approval to seek to have the northern J. P. court in Pleasant Grove as it was in a central location and the city has a very adequate court room available. Approval was given for this ac-tion. Dave Vickers, president of the Pleasant Grove Ambulance Association, told the city council that the group has received a grant of $2,100 which has been used to purchase permanent light stands for lighting equipment for the Rescue Truck. He reported that they also plan to get a new Rescusitation Annie for CPR training and will put the rest of the grant money on new pagers so that all ambulance personnel can have one. He added that the Association had decided to wait until a study on an automatic defibrillator was con-cluded before going ahead with training and purchase of a defibrillator. Vickers noted that the automatic defibrillator is much less expensive than the other and if the state ac-cepts it they would then for the grant they had received to purchase the defibrillator. The association would have to provide matching funds to acquire the defibrillator. Lindon hears proposal on County government change assessor and the public safety department would be headed by elected officials. The finance department, human development, county development, and public works department would' all be headed by appointed direc-tors. The citizens group have prepared a charter and it is very specific on the changes in county government. They are trying to obtain 15,000 signatures throughout the county in order to place a change of govern-ment referendum on the November ballot. . The group feels within the change proposed, an element in organization and cooperation'; among the municipalities can be . achieved. By KALYN SECRETAN A former county planner, I. Dale Despain, met with the Lindon City Council with a request for assistance in obtaining signatures in an effort to bring about change in Utah County government. Despain represents a group of 'citizens who have been involved since last April for the primary .purpose of proposing "Better in the County." ' The committee would like to bring 5!;about a change in the three member "'commission and propose a seven ';member council with an appointed administrator. The administrator would take n 'care of the day-to-da- y activities throughout the county and enforce '"the policies of the group. The governing body of Utah ''County would be a seven-ma- n ''council, five members to be elected la'in their districts and two members elected at large county-wid- e. The districts have about 55,000 in s 'each district and have been worked stei out to include Lindon to the north as one district and Springville to the south as the other, with three in the Provo-Ore- area. Council members will be elected four four years of overlapping terms and be compensated at $4000 per year plus actual expenses, the chairman of the council shall receive $6000 plus expenses. They will be required to meet weekly in meetings open to the public. The present County Com-missioners are paid $44,000 plus a $300 vehicle allowance and various other benefits. The present County Constitution was adopted in 1896, the same time Nevada was given statehood. The present law requires that County Commissioners meet at least twice a week for two hours. It ' was explained the council would turn from a paid to a service job much like our city councils. In other county organization the county attorney, clerk, recorder, rue! m Continued from front page ; rt . ; .:, Jim did the natural thing to do, he 'caught them from the full one and e "let them go into the empty one. On er' another occasion, Jim was camping in the mountains. His pack mule, loaded with all his equipment, lost ;! its footing and fell off the trail to its death. Everything was lost. Just how does a person grow to be 100 years old? Jim might advise that we are what we eat, and do, and think. In his past 100 years Jim has never been in a hospital. He has visited a doctor but five times. He nhas walked or ridden a bicycle everywhere he has gone. He never owned a car. He was a master at making his ' garden grow. And he was the 'guardian of his garden. Everything was meticulous. They were ''weedless and all the weeds were r; pulled by hand and carried out. He nS!was a master at irrigation. Some .""say he was the very best. 's Jim worked 37 years for the Union Pacific Railroad and when he worked he gave it his best. To him it p 'was a personal rule. An eight hour o"1 day required 10. He treasured good aihealth and was quick to tell anyone ini' he saw who was smoking cigarettes to "straighten up" and quit. Jim came to Pleasant Grove when he was He met his wife, pearl Geneva Cobbley, in Lindon at a dance. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple and raised nine children, two boys and seven girls. Today Jim has 27 grandchildren, 73 great grand-children and an even dozen great great grandchildren. Jim and Pearl raised those' children on love, hard ' work, dedication and $3 a day which he made on the railroad. Jim never owned a home. Congratulations, Jim Rodeback on your celebration of life. ..100 years worth. There are prerequisites in all things and happiness and personal peace come through living the laws of life. Jim Rodeback has lived well his first 100 years. He has realized great results from doing what he firmly believed and truly he may grow older but he will never lose life's zest becasue he knows the road's next turn will be the very best! Bid approved on Wade Springs line Walt Limb Construction submitted the apparent low bid for the Wade Springs Water Line replacement" and Pleasant Grove City Council approved the bid Tuesday nighty br. Upon the re'commertdation' of City1 Engineer Lee Wimmer, the city council accepted the bid of $40,516 submitted by Walt Limb Con-struction. The construction will be carried out in two phases with the bid on Schedule I $17,721 and $22,795 on Schedule II. Eleven bids were received on the project. The engineer's estimate for the project was $43,300 or $19,500 on Schedule I and $23,800 on Schedule II. As part of the Central Utah Project going through Pleasant. Grove the Wade Springs Water line is having to be replaced. Much of this cost will be reimbursed by the Bureau of Reclamation. At the same time the city is enlarging the line and extending it. The city will pay., for these latter costs. Wimmer also discussed placement of a debris basin near 100 North just below the canal. At the present a natural basin is used but it is on private property. He urged the city council to try to acquire property for a debris basin in this area with maybe some others up stream from this site. CIRCUS OF SAVINGS f3L OMG, ) : WE BOUGHT THE. ENTIRE SHOW!
