Show GenterviMe Changes Site For Well By GARY R. BLODGETT News Editor CENTERVILLE -- The site for Center-ville's Center-ville's new culinary water well has been changed to a primary location near 75 E. Center-on property owned by the defunct Centerville Lions' Club and leased to the city. ACTION TO change the site from the park at Centerville Elementary School back to the Lions' Club property, the original site of the proposed well, was by a 4-1 vote of the City Council last Tuesday night. Councilman Coun-cilman Dennis Knoles voted against the new location. After meeting with former members of the Centerville Lions' Club, the council agreed to revert back to the original site "if there is not too much opposition from nearby near-by residents." COUNCILMAN Dennis Lifferth, representing repre-senting the council on the water committee, noted that the water application form was originally for the Lions' Club site. "It's also the most favorable site recommended by geological studies and received the okay from the water committee," he said. Thus, the council decided to go ahead with engineering and preliminary studies for a well to be dug this summer on the Lions' Club site. The 600-foot deep, 10 to 12-inch well is planned for the southeast corner of the properly. COUNCILMAN Lifferth explained that soil, geology and other water-related studies stu-dies show the Lion ' Club site to be the "most promising area in the city for the well which will help in the distribution of culinary culin-ary water to the south part of the city." Former Lions' Club members David and James Parrish told the council that they would still like to see the nearly two-acre site between Main and 100 East on the north side of the street developed into a city park. THE PROPERTY was deeded to the city on the stipulation that the land would even tually be developed into a city park or used for some other public use. Club members said they still prefer the park development. In other council action, a business license was granted for use of an ice cream truck to serve Centerville during the summer, and a report was heard from league officials for scheduling of softball and baseball games on city park dimonds. THE COUNCIL also spent considerable time reviewing an providing input to a proposed prop-osed citywide random survey that will be conducted next month (April 1 1 or 18). Survey Sur-vey questions will be printed in the Clipper when completed, but prior to the survey. Roy East, representing league officials working on a schedule for summer recreation recrea-tion in the city told the council that about eight men's teams have already committed to play. "WE EXPECT at least a 12-team men's softball league and possibly a half dozen women's teams," he said. "Right now. women's teams are looking for sponsors." He noted there are already 12 Pony League, eight Bronco League and seven Mustang League teams registered. In addition, addi-tion, six to eight T-ball teams are being organized orga-nized for use on other than the Main City Park diamonds. OFFICIALS of the adult leagues are registering reg-istering and collecting fees from teams wanting to participate. The agreement calls for Centerville City to allow the teams to play with the only cost for the leagues being $3,900 for use of the lights. Rodey's Ice Cream, Inc., was given a license for one ice cream truck to serve Centerville every other day throughout the summer. The postal-style jeep wilp be colorfully col-orfully painted with a logo on both sides. TIM RODE, an officer in the Boise-based firm, said they operate in several northern Utah communities. He said they have a minimum of $1 million liability insurance. "We are very cautious and concerned ab- -out the safety of children," he told the council. |
