Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and City Council:
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Acting Mayor Russell N. Sw'ensen with the
following City Officials present:
Acting Mayor Russell N. Sw'ensen
Councilwoman Carol A. Dille

Absent: Mayor George Wehmann (leave of
Councilman Thayle D. Monson
The pledge of allegiance to the flag was directed by Councilwoman Dille and prayer was I
offered by Acting Mayor Swensen. Minutes of the meeting on April 2l, 1983, were approved
as prepared.
The first matter of business was a request received from Michael Jones of 1805 Midway
Avenue to be reimbursed $302.17 for the expanse of having gravel put in the gutter in
front of his house. (The drainage problem at this location was discussed previously this
year in the meetings on March 24 and April 7.) In response to Mr. Jones' comment in his
letter that "This problem was caused by your contractor improperly putting in the gutters
when the L.I.D. was done", Engineer Benton pointed out that the house at 1805 Midway Ave.
did not exist when the L.I.D. #8 construction was completed there. Reference was made
to Mr. Jones' failure to comply with the City standards requiring a swale in driveways
in non-curb-and-gutter areas. A motion was made by Councilman Williamson and seconded
by Councilwoman Dille to deny the claim of Michael Jones for the repair of the gutter in
front of the Jones' residence at 1805 Midway Avenue. Voting on the motion was all in
favor; motion carried. Acting Mayor Swensen indicated that he would write to Mr. Jones
to explain the City Council action, and recommended wording for the letter was drafted by
Engineer Benton and Attorney Anderson.
According to a report given by Councilman Williamson, notice has been received that Utah
Power & Light Company has withdrawn the present rate-increase case. He noted that the
fire siren is now on radio control, so the fire telephones have been disconnected and a
radio pager will be placed in the City office as soon as possible. Plans to check out a
complaint about a problem with chickens in the Hillview Addition was also mentioned by
Councilman Williamson.
