District mulls sex ed policy A policy which provides guide-lines for the instruction of sex education, including AIDS aware-ness, in the public schools of the Alpine School District was to be acted upon by members of the board of education during their Tuesday evening business meeting Oct. 11. According to Mrs. Jan Lewis, board president, the policy has been under consideration for sev-eral weeks in order to provide pa- - trons with the opportunity to ex-press concern or give input. A number of patrons appeared at the board's last public input session to discuss the proposed policy. In other action, the board was to act on a negotiated agreement with the certified employees of the dis-trict. Certified employees repre-sent the largest employee group in the district, as most are classroom teachers. The Alpine District now employs some 1,600 teachers to instruct approximately 37,500 stu-dents within its boundaries. A "Public Opportunity to Ad-dress the Board" was provided near the beginning of the meeting. On the discussion side of the agenda, the board was to review the social studies portion of the secondary curriculum. pi, Grove police chief concerned about initiatives- - plained that he did not know ex-actly what the impact of passage of the tax initiatives would be on law enforcement, but he urged the vot-ers to be cautious and to make an educated and informed decision. The chief said he did not want his statement to sound threatening but he wanted the public to be aware of the possibilities. "As an administrator over pub-lic safety services, I can strongly urge you to make a wise decision, make one that you and your family can live with," Chief Ferre con-cluded. e pleasant Grove and Lindon Po-Chi- Mike Ferre issued a mentthisweekexpressinghis 8 about the proposed tax "jjflaid that as the Chief of Vteithas been his responsibility itovidethecitizens of the cmmu-."twit- h a safe and peaceful place 'live and raise a family. Over the years I have always that the Pleasant jintained Police Department is a serv-- Oriented department and we are !;ie to serve the people in our imunity and keep it a safe and fori ef place to reside," he said. He added that in studying and !5 .:templatingthe possible effects 'ie proposed tax initiatives that will go before the voters in Novem-ber, he was gravely concerned about its far reachingeffects on law enforcement in the community. The chiefexplained that in Utah the percentage of peace officers per one thousand population is 1.6. officers. The national average is 2.1. Pleasant Grove's is .065 officer per thousand. "That is to say that there is a little over one-ha- lf officer for every thousand citizens," he said. Chief Ferre stated that with the passage of these initiatives it could mean at least a small per cent cut in budget allocation for the depart-ment. "Pleasant Grove and Lindon simply cannot afford to lose any manpower as we are already far below average," he said. He went on to say that his police department is a service oriented department which responds to an average of 1,000 calls for service per month. The chief reported that Pleasant Grove and Lindon have always been attractive and safe places in which to live. Crime statistics statewide are lower than the na-tional average and the crime rate in the Pleasant Grove area has been one of the lowest in Utah. "We want to keep it that way," he stated. "The passage of these tax initiatives could possibly curtail prison construction and the Utah State Prison might be forced to put a cap on its population." He also noted that if this hap-pened then many criminals who deserve to be behind bars could be out on the streets and with fewer officers to deal with them, the con-sequences are obvious. Chief Ferre said that he had other areas of concern if these ini-tiatives were to pass. "Not only could there be a reduction in offi-cers and services, but the inability to provide crime prevention pro-grams, community support and the inability to attract qualified per-sonnel to the department would become possibilities," he added. The chief pointed out that local citizens are getting the best police service for their dollar that the department can provide. He ex- - IPG City encouraged to adopt E-91- 1 Kb-- Lt.

The city is currently re-ts tiring its 911 calls from Orem. E. Lt.

Lt. Paul said this ability is not currently planned for but the com-mittee felt this should be made accessible. With approval of this system, the citizens will be assessed a 50 cents per month surcharge which will be collected for one year to pay for the installation of the equip-ment. Each telephone will be tied in with the system, so that if anyone was unable to speak into the phone, or in the emergency forgot their address, the dispatcher would still know the address the call came from. Lt. Paul added that as soon as the city and county reach agree-ment on the city receiving E-9- dispatch from Orem, and the rest of the county comes on line, that the surcharge can begin being col-lected. He said that Provo and Orem should be ready to begin the E-9- system in one year. Mayor David Holdaway said it should not be difficult to get the computer printout switched to Pleasant Grove. It was explained that the E-9- equipment is too expensive for Pleasant Grove, American Fork and Lehi to have their own PSAP center. Equipment costs about $200,000. "I would like to have the flexibil- - ing in front of the building. The council accepted the site plan for a ward chapel for the Pleasant Grove East Stake at 1200 E. Nathaniel Drive, as recom-mended by the Planning Commis-sion. Rl-- 7 zone description changes have been suggested for the Uni-form Land Development Code. A public hearing will be held for all the proposed changes to this code in a month or two, the council was told. Councilman Keith Christeson said that he has been doing some research to see if the 34 cents per month requested rate increase from Laidlaw Waste Co. is war-ranted. He said that originally the com-pany had asked for a 60 cent in-crease but has reduced the request to 34 cents. The city had denied the earlier request because Pleasant Grove was already paying more than American Fork and did not feel that was fair. Christeson said that since then American Fork has made a study and feels that the 34 cent increase request is valid and American Fork has agreed to the rate increase. So has Lindon. The council will ask Laidlaw to come in and review their request with the city council. The council would like them to justify their request with facts and figures. The council will arrange for Laidlaw to attend the next meeting and the public would be invited to attend. ity of what entity the city goes with rather than having to be tied in only with the county," Mayor Holdaway noted. In other matters, the mayor said that the tax limitation initiatives have not been discussed by the city council in a public meeting, but his personal feeling was that both sides have gone to extremes and feels the real solution or answer lies somewhere in between. The mayor also noted that the fencing along both sides of the Murdock Canal within the city limits from 1100 North to Lindon has been completed. He said they would double check to see if a couple of property owners who had originally refused the fencing would like to change their minds. The council proclaimed the month of October as National Cos-metology Month in Pleasant Grove. Citing the failure of prospective purchasers of the old city hall to meet an agreement deadline, the council also accepted earnest money from another prospective buyer. The first offer came last spring from two men who wanted to use the building for offices. This latest offer is from an individual who would like to use it for a retail establishment. He agreed that he would rent the ambulance facilities back to the city for 15 cents per square foot. He would do some remodeling of the buildingbut would not object to the Veterans Memorial flag pole stay- - ?

The first is the prestigious "AAA School Bus Award," which is pre-sented annually by the Utah High-way Patrol to districts which main-tain exacting standards of safety specifications on their school buses. The second award, the "Clean Bus Award," is presented by the State Department of Public Safety. In its commendation, this de-partment stated: "A program like Alpine's is a team effort. It was apparent to all of the inspectors that the school bus drivers took excellent care and had great pride in their buses." "These two awards represent safety in operation and pride in maintenance," said Jim Critten-den, district transportation direc-tor. .. : ..... . . - . "The commendations translate into a real concern on the part of our entire staff for the well-bein- g and safety of the students who ride our buses daily. We now have a fleet of 125 buses and transport some 13,200 students on a daily basis." "I would personally like to thank our entire staff of drivers, mechan-ics, garage personnel and support people for their professionalism and dedication," Crittenden con-cluded.
