According to Councilman Williamson, the Animal Control Officer has presented a movie
entitled "Animals Can Bite" at the schools, which was well received and seems to have
helped with the dog problem at the present time. Councilman Williamson mentioned that
the latest reports from the engineering firm of Gibbs & Hill, Inc., regarding the studies
on hydroelectric projects, indicate that three of the sites are not feasible, which is a
reversal of previous unofficial information, and he intends to ask why there was this
change. With reference to an assignment to assist Councilman Swensen in looking at some
property north of Well No.7 which is offered for sale by Melvin Brown, it was noted by
Councilman Williamson that this has not been done yet.
Public Works Director, Hayse Whiteley, reported on work that is underway to close down
the parks, winterize the vehicles, and finish some street patching. I
Claims to be paid totaling $6,580.93 were presented by the City Clerk, along with
vouchers for payroll and related expenses paid since the last meeting in the amount
of $7,284.22, all of which were approved.
Acting Mayor Swensen called attention to a news item in connection with another request
for an increase being filed by Utah Power & Light Company. He expressed appreciation
to Attorney Anderson for the special work he has done for the City as an intervenor in
past rate-increase cases.

offered by Councilman Monson. Minutes for July 15, 1982, were approved as prepared.
The matter of a zone change on the Richard Kelly property, which was tabled at the previous
meeting, was brought up for discussion. Acting Mayor Swensen noted that he had talked to
Mr. Kelly who indicated that he thogght the new zoning should be C-l, as requested, due to
the size of the property. The minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting re-
garding the subject were reviewed, and Planning Commission member, Kathy Dansie, explained
that the Commission recommended an RSD-l Zone, with a waiver on the size requirements,
for this location so that it would be the same as the area across the street to the south,
thus avoiding spot zoning. The details for developing in an RSC-l Zone which could be a
problem for establishing a business on the lot were mentioned, and the feeling of the
Council members that the matter should be referred back to the Planning Commission for re-
consideration was expressed. Following the advice of Attorney Anderson, Councilman William-
son moved that the City Council continue the deliberations on the Richard Kelly rezone
request while waiting for further guidance from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Monson; voting was all in favor; motion carried.
It was reported by Kathy Dansie that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval
on applications for rezoning from R-3A to C-l on properties on the north side of 17th St.

hearing before the City Council on these requests was scheduled for November 18, 1982,
at 7:30 P.M.. She also noted that a committee has been assigned to study a model ordi-
nance on manufactured housing and that Jim McNett has resigned so Gary Butterworth is
acting as Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission at the present time.
The Fiscal Year 1983 Law Enforcement Contract was reviewed. It was moved by Council-
