Mayor Jameson explained to those who met to discuss Lighting District Four that the City Council had started legal proceedings to instigate the lighting district because of requests and comments made by property owners in certain areas of the district and that other properties had been included to set up a uniform lighting program in these areas. However, Mayor Jameson emphasized that the Council had no intention of "pushing" the lighting district on to the property owners if they do not want it. Mayor Jameson further stated that it is costly to initiate a special improvement district, and he sincerely hoped the people would go ahead with this district as it may be a long time before another is initiated.
Also, Utah Power and Light Company have petitioned the Public Service Commission for a 10% increase in power rates which would reflect in the cost of a new district.
Lynn Bellows stated that residents do not object to street lights on street intersections and schools and church areas, but do feel that the lights in District Four are planned too close together. Others stated that the owners of corner lots should not pay more than those with inside lots as they receive no more benefit.
Tom Varley stated he is in favor of the lighting district, that according to the American Society of Engineering, Morningside Heights is inadequately lighted. Wes Barry stated he is in favor of the district as planned.
Mr. Beck asked why Utah Power and Light Company did not send a representative to meet with the protest group, and was told that they would install the lighting according to the desire of the people and there was no necessity for their being represented.
DeRae Pugh stated that he had visited 15 or 20 people that all of them wanted the lights but felt there were too many.
Ray Watters complimented the Council for work done and stated he knew of their integrity and honesty, and was certain they would do their best.
Kermit Anderson stated that after receiving a better understanding of the project that he would like to withdraw his written protest. Motion was made by Lowell Thomson to permit Kermit Anderson to withdraw his written protest to Special Lighting District Four. The motion was seconded by Laird Billings and passed.
Motion was made by Lowell Thomson that the City Engineer tabulates the written protests on Special Lighting District Four and verify footage on petitions in comparison with total district, and make a report to the Council. The motion was seconded by Alvin Rowley and passed.
The public hearing on the Subdivision Ordinance was called to order. Harley Gillman stated that he objected to the statement that Orem City "shall" purchase water for building permits. Dale Despain said this could be taken out. The Subdivision Ordinance decision was tabled.
William R. Jex met with the Council to request permission to complete a half street on 1000 south and 150 West due to the hill problem existing in the area.
After discussion, motion was made by Lowell Thomson to approve a 22 foot paving from existing curb and gutter on 1000 South from 150 West to 190 West Street, and to stipulate uniform grading on the south side of the paving strip according to the City Engineer's specifications. The motion was seconded by Alvin Rowley, and passed.
The Judge's report for July was read and approved.
Mayor Jameson read a letter from Lynn Thatcher of the State Health Board stating that the State Health Department required complete treatment of Alta Ditch water, also that a conventional type treatment plant is required.
Meeting adjourned.
