Show Cedar Hills City Council Recongition for Don Earl Mcpherson, Mc-pherson, former councilman for Cedar Hills, was the first item of business for the Cedar Hills City j Council's monthly meeting. : Mcpherson recently passed away j and the council wished to pay it's respects to the Mcpherson family and to the great service councilman Mcpherson gave in his two terms of office, a total of six years. A moment of silence was observed and a letter j ( ommending his service was read. The council listened to a j presentation from Jan Furner of the ! Utah League of Cities and Towns. Furner discussed the possibility of ! Cedar Hills joining a municipal cooperative co-operative that controls a multi-municipality multi-municipality fiance pool. The funds from the pool are used by member cities for whatever purpose the city may need. The . funds are disbursed on a first come first serve basis every six months. Documents were given to the council for their review and con-i con-i sideration. After seeking legal ! counsel the city will determine if it wishes to become a member of the co-operative. Ed Miller, district manager for Utah Power and Light, made a 1 presentation reviewing the details of ! the Utah Power and Light merger with Pacific Corp. Few questions were asked by the council and the bottom line seemed ; to be that the merger would save the consumers money in the long run. A resolution was passed that voiced support for the merger. City planner Rod Despain reviewed the first draft of the draft resolution preparing a notice of intent to create a special improvement im-provement district in the North Meadows area. The question was raised as to how far the city would go with sewage lines to the individual homes. Should lines be placed from the main line past the curb and gutter ' and sidewalk to the lot or should each homeowner connect to the main line as the need arises. The main concern is that if each home owner connects as the lot is improved, it will cause constant damage to the road. If the city puts leads to each lot the road can be patched and resurfaced without any further damage. The next step the city will take is to finalize the notice of intent and make legal notification and begin the protest hearings. These hearings will in a large part determine whether or not a SID will be created. Several citizens from the Oak Road area voiced their concern over the dust and roughness of the road. Sherryl Hassard lead the fight for the citizens. Mrs. Hassard inquired of the council why she had to attend the council meetings and get upset before any action is ever taken, "I have to come down here and have a nervous breakdown before anything is ever done." She felt that care and maintenance of Oak Road has been neglected by the city. Hassard felt that since it is part of the city, it should be maintained naturally. "I always thought is should just come naturally, like Christmas, it just comes once a year." Mayor Harris expressed his concern and indicated that he would check into the situation. No formal action could be taken as there was not a quorum present at the time. The audit report was accepted and further business was postponed due to a lack of time. |
