$1250.00 which they could repay to the City, with no interest,
over a two year period of time.

Doug Carroll stated that he had a bad drainage situation
in the basement of the building he is renting on Main Street.
He stated that sometime ago the City took an easement across
various properties along the "Old Arroyo" for drainage problems
and in his opinion it appeared that the City probably had some
responsibility in the filling of the "Old Arroyo" with dirt.
After considerable discussion the Mayor stated that he did not
feel that the City had any legal responsibility and that the
basement of the building affected with this raising water was
not worth the cost of the project to totally drain this "Old
Arroyo", however he would have no objection to allowing the
water crew to dig a hole down to the water level so Mr. Carroll
could pump the water out. This arrangement appeared to be
acceptable to all parties at this time.and the Mayor was instruct-
ed to look into this matter of an easement for drainage, also
what was stated in the minutes of the Council Meetings during
the time the easements were taken and see what some of the
Councilmen of that time could remember about the easement and
the filling of the "Old Arroyo".
The Mayor presented a letter signed by J. Wallace Corbin
reducing the amount of water to be drawn from a water filing
with the State Engineers Office Application no. 42703 (05-939)
from the original requested amount of 1.0 sec-ft., to D15 sec-ft.

The recent session of the Legislature made available to low
cost housing $3,000,000.00. Of this the City of Moab will re-
ceive $13,574.00, however we must create a housing authority to
handle the money or pass a resolution turning the funds over to
the Grand County Housing Authority which is already created.
Councilman West offered the following resolution, which
was read.

The Mayor stated that he has checked over the State and it
appears that most towns license coin operated laundries on the basis
of number owned. Most of them have a $10.00 license for the first
machine and it varies from $1.00 to $3.00 per machine for all the
balance owned. He also stated that the fee of $10.00 plus $2.50
per machine would make the license about the same as the old 2
sales tax plus the 2 gross license.
Councilman Hawks made a motion that the laundries be licensed
at the rate of $10.00 for the first machine and $L.50 per machine
.for the balance owned, seconded by Councilman McDougald and carried.

The Mayor stated that the Chief of Police had informed him
that Policeman Hamner has resigned his position leaving the depart-
ment short one man. We have a good man, Brent Duncan on the
lauxillary police that will take the job, however we must start him
at $600.00 per month.
Councilman McDougald stated that he knew Mr. Duncan and in
his opinion he would be a good officer and would make a motion,
that the Chief be authorized to hire Mr. Duncan and start himHat
$600.00 per month, seconded by Councilman West and carried.
1 The Mayor stated that there was provided in the budget an
increase in salary for this fiscal year and at this time he,would
;like to give all employees with a salary of less than $700.00 per
month a raise of $25.00 per month.
Councilman West made a motion that the employees be granted
la cost of living raise of $25.00 per month, secondediby Councilman

Councilman McDougald°asked if the City had any'need for a road
across property belonging to Ron Robertson and if so would the
Council be interested in contributing any right-of-wayfor.the road.
The road has some right-of-way by constant use for several years,
and it appears that this is a)problem between Mr. Robertson,=other
people living in the area and the Grand County Commission. The,
City does not need any more'road than -is already there, and when
the property is fenced the city travel will be from the south and
inside the fence.

The regular meeting of the Moab City Council was held on the
above date in the Council Chambers. The meeting was called to
order by Mayor Winford Bunce, at 7:00 p.m., with Councilmen West,
Jacobs, Hawks and Hammer present, also City Recorder Maxine Smith
and Attorney Robert Ruggeri.
The minutes of the regular meeting of December 18, and
special meeting of December 28, 1973 were read and approved.
Jimmie Richardson asked that the City cooperate with him in
getting his property title cleared. He met with the Council in
February 1962, and they granted him a building permit to construct
a house in the dedicated street located on 2nd North near the
intersection of 2nd North and 3rd East Streets. He was informed
that the City did not own the street, that it was dedicated for
public use by the original sub -dividers and the Council had no
authority to give the street to anyone and in their opinion the
only way he might get title to the street would be by court
action, however, they would meet with him at the property,in
question at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, January 3, 1974 to decide what
stand would be taken by the Council.
Councilman Elect Gerald Bonser, asked what action the Council
was going to take in regard to the public hearing being held to
grant an increase in rates to Utah Power & Light Company.
It was the opinion of the Council that if anyone of them
wanted to appear and represent themselves and not the City there
would be no objection, however, they thought it was poor policy
for the City to start appearing at rate increase hearings.
Councilman Hammer made a motion to pay the bills as presented,
seconded by Councilman Hawks and carried.
The total cost of the Tri-Media Projection Equipment is
$2651.86 payable to Barker and Jorgenson & Company in Salt Lake
City, Utah. The City Council has agreed to loan one-half of the
total cost of said Tri-Media Equipment to the Travel Council.
The Travel Council is committed to and should sign a promissory
note payable to the City of Moab to guarantee re -payment of the
sums so advanced. Said Promissory xierreto be payable within two
years.
Councilman Weat made a motion to adjourn at 7:45 p.m.,

the City, County and School District. The other was a report
that there had been no recent communication between the City
Administration and Marvin Jensen of the BEM concerning proposed
sites for land fill waste disposal. In this connection Canyon-
lands National Park supposedly had material to fence an area of
(10) ten acres and,equipment suitable for cut and fill.
Councilman Hamner requested permission to pursue the possi-
bility of consolidation of equipment maintenance. As Councilman
Jacobs is already involved in the maintenance program, Mayor
MeDougald asked him to investigate the matter and report back
to the Council. Councilman Hamer assented.
Harold Stewart proposed the annexation to the City of
approximately (10) ten acres north of the Elks Club. Housing
is being developed in the area and the desire is to secure City
water and sewer services. His estimate was 750' of pipeline
for each water and sewer. Initially (5) five sewer connections
would be required to eliminate cesspools or septic tanks. Other
than fire protection only (2) two water connections would be
required in the immediate future. Mr. Stewart left some maps
with the administration. A motion was made by Councilman Hammer,
seconded by Councilman Bonser that the proposal be tabled for
study. The motion was passed unanimously.
Councilman Jacobs raised a question concerning a previous
request from Mr. Jim Richardson for title to property where
his residence is located. By discussion only, it was decided
that Mr. Richardson should take whatever action he deems
advisable to clear the title on property in question. Council-
man Jacobs was to so advise Mr. Richardson.

ment of monthly service fee for a sewer connection presently not

made,by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Bonser and
carried, with Councilman.Jacobs abstaining.
Mr. Bob McTaggart expressed concern about an irrigation ditch
bordering on the south of Palisade Subdivision that apparently is
not a part of the Moab Irrigation Company system. It seems to be
used at times by Pete Byrd. The problem is ditch blockage by trees,
brush,and trash, causing periodic flooding in the residential area.
Mr. McTaggart was seeking aid in correcting'the situation or usage
to eliminate the flooding. Maypr McDougald requested that Coun-
cilman Jacobs investigate and try to get the situation rectified.
Roy Maki rendered a complaint concerning frequent sewer blockage
and surfacing of sewage near.the rear of the Westerner Grill. This
was to be investigated by -Councilman Jacobs, water and sewer employee
_Johnson. Recorder Unger and Engineer Keogh.

Mayor McDougald and County Commission Chairman Newell discussed
the problems relating to solid waste disposal. It was agreed that the
County Commission would take the responsibility of resolving the prob-
lem for the entire area. Councilman Hammer moved the passing of the
following resolution:
"BE IT RESOLVED that the•City of Moab will cooperate
with Grand County concerning the needs for solid waste
disposal and will cooperate in working with the County
when possible to utilize any facility developed by the
County."
The motion was seconded by -Councilman Bonser and unanimously
carried.
State Representative Silliman, being in attendance. was called on
by the Mayor. Representative Silliman had some comment on the protest
of the Utah League of Cities and Towns concerning the amount of State
monies -being diverted from fuel tax funds to other than direct highway
purposes. He stated that although the dollar amount of diversion had
increased annually. so had income to the fund. Allocations from the
fund are on a percentage basis regulated by statute. The percentage
distribution rate has not been changed. He also commented on the
solid waste disposal program proposed but gave no indication of what
the outcome might be. He further stated that in his opinion the pro-
posal to alter State laws on City/County consolidation to suit the
needs of our area would receive good response from the legislative
hearing committee.
Street Superintendent Lynn Day stated that waste water treatment
plant operator Matt Helmann was considering retiring in the near
future and that Joe Severns was traindd in the plant operation and
requested consideration when a job opening,occurs. Mr. Day also
pointed out the problem of doing an effective job of snow removal or
street sweeping with cars parked at the curb.
Councilman Jacobs brought up,the subject of the lack of cdnsidera-
tion by motorists when crews are working on thoroughfares with
"working",signs posted. Several others offered comments., Councilman.
Donser was to investigate methods of policing assistance to insure the
safety of workmen.
Engineer Keogh spoke on behalf of a study in progress toward the
formation of -an improvement district from the south city limits to the
County line (Brand/San Juan) for the purpose of making connections with
the City sewer system. It was estimated that'Z75 to 300 families might
be currently involved. The questions posed were whether the City would
consider -such an activity and the cost of the activity. ,The Recorder
was directed to determine the capacity of the sewer treatment plant as
a prelude to further consideration.
The problem of metering and collecting for water usage inthe
Grand VieW Subdivision (County) was mentioned. The Recorder was
authorized to take steps'to get back to billing on the bps: -f master

Chairman A11en.'mmemmbers Gaither and Knowles, plus about thirty,
citizens.
Extent of revisionss, Consultant,DeSpain was, introduced by the Mayor to,explain
to old zoning or- the proposed ordinance and then field questions. He'stated that
dinance. z the major alterations, over the existing ordinance.concerned a
tightening of controls in the flood control zone and establishing
I; regulations for,the future covering large-scale developments per-
, taining to mobile homes and subdivisions plus minor expansion of
commercial areas.
"Recreational vehi-- He,then requested questions that had been posed to the
cle" definition, Recorder in days prior to.the hearing:. One question pertained to
etc. the definition of the:term *recreational vehicle". Mr: Despain
stated that the definition as stated in the ordinance is atireet
squotation from the description as adopted by the State Legisla-
tore in 1971. HoweVer. it was noted that,the complete action of
the Legislatureipertained to structural` requirements.

tions on such vehicles, particularly in the.ptck-up-mounted can-'
e per claswas spucjfied An the last paragraph-of.Section-02:0627
(p. 22). The Miype responded that the City"required,an ordinance

i lation could be.controlled at the discretion of the enforcement
officer. Mr. Byrd:questioned the validity of placing discretion-
ary powers ,in the:hinds of the Police, such -powers being more
;properly held by the courts: In the interest of.moving on to
other subjects. Mr. Despain. suggested that the-protests:and-com-
ments be noted for study prior to,final adoption of the ordinance.
4 Councilman Peterson said:that he.believed the,purpose was to pre-
-lvent the storage of such vehicles on the streets.
51
As a point of information, Les Erbes commented on the differ-
ence between a mobile home subdivision and a mobile home park, plus
the lot size requirements for a subdivision that would also be in
keeping with the possibility of building permanent homes if desired.
Lawrence Day asked if the proposed ordinances included any
changes that would have an effect on non -conforming lots of record.
Mr. Despain's answer was yes and he explained Section 02.0703 (p. 28).
Another question that had come to the Recorder related to the
permission to pasture animals in an R-1 residential zone (p. 46),
which also passes on the same permission to zones R-2 and R-3. This
was noted for future reference.
Pete Byrd stated that in his opinion the market for larger lots
and homes in Moab is now dead.
The Knights, new owners of Holiday Haven, pointed out that while
the area requirements (Section 02.0956.03, p. 51) for a single unit i
multiple dwelling areas might be adequate, the minimum area for addi-
tional units was inadequate. This point was placed on the further
study list.
It was pointed out that double (parallel) driveways are per-
missible completely to the property line of a lot. but covering is
restricted to Code clearances. It was also pointed out that tandem
parking in driveways is undesirable.
G. U. Foote asked if an existing.earport within four feet of the
rear of a lot and with an existing roof could be completely enclosed.
The concensus was that the existing construction. although non-
conforming. could not have any further non -conforming addition.
Dissatisfaction was voiced concerning Section 02.0609 (p. 13)
regulating the storage of commercial vehicles, particularly the re- I
striction against parking on lots. Mr. Oespain was to take the off-
street parking portion under advisement. At this. or some other.
time during the zoning discussion. Mr. Despain stated that a zoning
ordinance cannot legally regulate the use of streets. This is a
separate matter and is the subject of.proposed amendments to existing
street usage ordinances being studied in another proposal which must
be written in a manner not in conflict with zoning regulations.
The questions was asked regarding can an existing non -conforming
property be sold without changing its.non-confirming status. The
answer was yes.
LeGrand Pritchard suggested that the control of parking of com-
mercial,vehicles on residential streets could be achieved by estab- i
llshing and posting suitable load limits on any street In questions
The restriction against storage of obsolete vehicles stored in
yards prompted a question for definition of obsolete vehicle. The
answer was. one that will not operate under its own power. This
t*iggered considerable discussion concerning the intent;.,...,f repair
or rehabilitation as opposed to out -right abandonment.

Another question received by the Recorder related to the possible;
effects,on assessed valuation in areas where a zoning designation mayl
be changed. The County Assessor had previously indicated that his
appraisal would be on property use rather than zone designation. How-
ever, it was the opinion of Mr. Despain that resulting from State
appraisal for equalization purposes, the value of property, vacant
land,or in use. would be based on its use potential under zoning
rather than its actual use. ti
Mr. Despain briefly discussed C-2 (commercial/residential), C-3 (
and C-4 zoning purposes. They were composed of those considered to be,
the best throughout the State and are in force in Cedar City where
they are well -liked.

Economic Coordinator Don Hoffman stated that he thought the,
City was extremely limited for industrial sites. Mr. Despain
explained that most industrial developmept would probably occur
in the County and that the County is intetested in adopting
' zoning compatible with that efcthe City so, if desired, the
`: problem of annexation would be minimal.
Jay Holland requested that the area at the extreme west
end of 4th North Street, approximately 400 feet in width Para-
; llel to the street. now zoned A-1, proposed to change to RA-1,
be actually rezoned to C-4. This was earmarked for study by
Mr. Despain.
Mobile Home Parks. The Recorder passed along another question relating to the
effect of rezoning on existing mobile home parks should they
wish to alter lot sizes to provide increased space for each
, unit. The answer was that changes could be made if they were
done in a manner moving toward the proposed zoning requirements
for future developments.

As no new points were being raised, the Mayor closed the
public hearing at 9:40 P.M. and continued with a session with
the Planning Commission members and the City Council. Two or
three citizens remained.

Mr. Jack Beeson, Utah State Highway Maintenance Supervisor for
this area. introduced Alfred Richees. Highway Encroachment officer
for the area. whose purpose was to enlighten newly -elected Council-
men And recently hired City employees concerning certain aspects of
the State regulations related to highways. One item concerned the
requirement to file a request for permit to excavate on highway
right-of-way for water or sewer purposes whether on an emergency or
preplanned basis. His other point covered Federal safety regula-
tions covering the proper warning and safety signs to be posted
when workmen were engaged on State "B!.or ".C" roads and he suggested
that the same regulations be followed on the City streets. Coun-
cilman Jacobs asked how much time is required to process a permit. ;
The answer was normally 4 to 5 days.• Question --does new signing (
regulation meet OSHA -standards? Answer, yes. Question --in addition
to itigns, when is a flagman required? Answer, whenever traffic is
being diverted into a lane normally traveled in the opposite direc-
tion. Councilman Hammer asked about the use and spacing of 36" high)
cones. The answer was they should be, spaced sufficiently close to
prevent trafficcfrom passing through the line, about 25-30' apart
and a sufficient distance to gradually shunt traffic around the work!
area. Councilman Jacobs asked whether a contractor on a City job on
State highway right-of-way was responsible to the City or to the
S*A*e. Answer, to the State. Councilman Hammer raised a question -
concerning mid -block crosswalks. The State indicated opposition to

Mr. James L. Walker, representing the Moab Irrigation Com-
pany, appeared before the Council to discuss the condition of the
ditch through the Visitor Center park. He stated that it was
believed a section of the ditch bank would not hold water where
it had been dug out for the placement of rock lining, per land-
scaping plan. Material being available to correct this weakness,
Street Superintendent Day was instructed to complete the work
before the scheduled turning in of water. Mr. Walker's other
problem related to establishing responsibility for cleaning of
trash grate at head of culvert where the ditch leaves the park
to flow under the highway. The Irrigation Company wishes to
place this responsibility on the City as indicated in a letter
of nearly a year ago directed to Mayor Bunce. Replying to this
request was deferred until it can be determined what, if any,
kind of response had been made by the former Mayor.

Guild, called attention to a letter of request that had been
sent to Mayor McDougald seeking permission for use of the City

District pertaining to sewers, copies of a letter, outlining the
capacity of the City sewer plant, from Nielsen, Maxwell and
Wangsgard'had been made available to councilwirn,, On the basis
of average per capita requirements. the plant capacity was in-
dicated as adequate to handle the addition of the Spanish Valley
load. Councilman Bonser pointed out that the measured flow
through the Plant was in excess of the per capita average. Fur-
ther discussion brought out the probability of water infiltra-
tion into the system, particularly in the section between Pali-
sades subdivision and the treatment plant. The consensus of the
Council was to be receptive toward cooperation with the Spanish
Valley group if legal and mechanical problems can be resolved.
The Recorder informed the Council that bids were being sought

The regular meeting of the City Council was called to order
in the Coungqi1 Chambers by Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald at 8:00 p.m.
on the abovE date. In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs. Hammer,
Nightingale. Bonser and Peterson. Attorney Ruggeri„ Engineer
Keogh and Recorder Unger.
The Mayor informed the Council that because copies of the
minutes were made available to them for reading prior to the
meeting. it was permissible to approve or correct the minutes
as written. without reading in the meeting.
As most of the Councilmen had not read the minutes of the
March 19. 1974 meeting. they were read. On a motion made by
Councilman Bonser, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried,
the minutes were approved as read.
Councilman Hammer brought up the question of care for Ute
Circle Park for the coming season. it being understood that
State Patrolman Schiffman, former caretaker, is to leave soon.
Following some discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Bon-
ser to award the job to City Police Sergeant Rowley. upon
Schiffman's departure. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Hammer and carried. Compensation for this job is remission of
City utility charges during the caretaking period.
None of the citizens with scheduled appointments appeared.
Mrs. Roy Daughtee appeared in protest to the size of latest
water billing. Following some discussion and review of meter
book, a motion was made by Councilman Nightingale, seconded by
Councilman Peterson and carried with a nay vote by Councilman
Bonser to adjust the billing from a usage of 46.000 gallons to
a two-year average of 7.500 gallons for the billing period.
Although no one from Grand View Subdivision appeared. a
discussion was held among the Councilmen, with the limited in-
formation made available by the Recorder, seeking a means to
establish a more firm and regulated manner by which the system
could be operated. The problem seemed to bill down to the
property owners organizing in some manner to purchase water
through the Clty's master meter and handle their own distribution.
billing and collections or to bring the system up to standards
suitable for the City to be able to accept for operation as is
normal within the City limits or with individual connections
from City mains. The City would assist in establishing accep-
table standards and recommend consulting or constructionservice
capable of doing the work. As an interim measure, hopefully
to spur the property owners into action, a motion was made by
Councilman Bonser. seconded by councilman Hammer and carried
that City water be furnished to Grand View Subdivision through
one master meter and pro -rated equally to each user until such
timo that the subdivision water system be brought to a ,
standard that the City can accept the system. The Recorder was
instructed to contact William Green and discuss the situation
further before changing the billing procedure.

quiring additional work to be brought up to suitable standards.

to completion.
Street Superintendent Day commented on the problem of irri-
gation water flawing in the gutters on 1st North Street and the
water users making earthen dams in the gutters to divert water
onto their yards. This makes street cleaning diffidult and can
be damaging to bituminous surfacing adjacent to concrete gutter.
No economical solution to eliminate the problem was forthcoming.
It was agreed that the most acceptable operating bo,ution would
be the use of small sand bads by water users with removal from
the gutters when not required.

of any use. It had been -recommended to former Mayor Bunce
that a consulting firma such is Call Engineering, be employed
to do the necessary engineering and be paid from Moab Collec-
tor Road funds with possibly some Federal aid. Current pro-
cedures call for the City to request a consulting firm to
submit.a proposal to do a specific road engineering job.
Paul Gilgen.,Planning Department, Local Governments Project
Engineer, Utah State Highway Department, has a standard fee
chart for consulting charges. If the City rejects the con-
sultant's proposal, the State Highway Engineering Department ,
can then be employed by the City to do the work. However. the
State group is well loaded with work.
In regard to the extension from 4th East Street via Mill
Creek and Spanish Valley Drive (joint City/County), the en-
gineering is nearly completed. The City's portion of the
project which includes some realignment and a Mill Creek
bridge will amount to $125.000 to $150.000 for construction.
The -County portion, while of greater length south to the
County line, will involve only widening and resurfsging at
a much lower cost for the distance covered. if the City can
achieve approved funding from collector road and revenue shar-
ing monies, construction on the project could begin shorty
after July 1, 1974. If Federal &id highway funds are sought,
the project could be held up for about one year. Federal aid
might cover up to 80% of the total costs. However. additional
regulations must be met which would increase the total cost
of the project.
The Recorder is to tabulate funds earmarked or otherwise
possibly available for this project.
the Mayor, some Councilmen and possibly Mr. Hamilton,
will attend the Grand County Commission meeting Monday. May 6.
to discuss the Mill Creek project and the possibility of com-
bining funds to expedite the major item, which is the bridge.
The City group will also make a physical check of 5th
West Street to assess the problems relevant to improvements,
primarily between U. S. Highway 163 and 4th North Street.
A motion to retain 5th West Street as ai-City street and
not Consider it as an alternate highway was made by Council-
man Nightingale, seconded by Councilman Jacobs and carried.
Mr. Hamilton stated that former Mayor Dunce had requested
the west end of 4th North Street extending to the sewer
plant, the 4th East extension (Mill Creek project) and little
Lane between 4th East and the north -south road west of_the
bowling lanes be added to the "B" and "C",Collector Road
system. He also stated that at present there could be added
only 106 miles in the entire State of Utah and was doubtful
that the above requests would be granted in full for this
area, Bittle Lane being a partic_'.:. probable casualty.
He further explained that "B" and "C" funds come from
State gasoline taxes, 50% going to the State and 50% divided
between cities and counties.
Mr. G. U. Foote appeared bef6re the Council to discuss
his proposal to open a child day care center in an R-2 zone.
The present zoning ordinance does not permit such an activity,
but the proposed zoning ordinance includes this activity.
Before he can secure a State License from the.Division of
Family Services he must be able to establish the fact that
his operation will be located in a proper zone in the commu-
nity.

tial streets at any time."

possible on the Mill Creek -Spanish Valley Drive bridge and road
project. Correlation of combined financing with Grand County
and State highway planners on possible sectionalizing of the
project is in progress.

engineering study for 5th West Street between Highway 163 and
4th North Street covering location of utilities, drainage, curb
and gutter, grading and surfacing.
The Council agreed to permit the continuation of minor
repairs, when practical. by City employees on the Boy Scout hut.
The Recorder was instructed to seek additional bids for
work to bring rest rooms at the Old City Park up to a better
standard of completion.
Councilman Peterson discussed the Utah Peace Officers
A«^ciation forthcoming convention. He understands that the
County and City host an outdocr meal on the first evening (a
Thursday). It was estimated that barbequed beef catered by
Millers would cost about $1,000.00. The Council agreed to ppe-
ceedcon a 50-50 cost basis with Grand County.
Councilman Jacobs led a renewal discussion on the dog
impounding and disposal situation. It was agreed that an inten-
sive study should be made in reference to establishing suitable
facilities to handle the problem and locate them at the sewage
dispoaal plant which is attended 7 days per week.

were approved as presented.
Mrs. verlyn Bentley appeared before the Council with a re-
quest that the City take over and operate the water distribu-
tion line in the west end of Grand View Subdivision. This line
was constructed by Loren Johnson several years ago purportedly
in compliance with City specifications. It has not yet been
tapped for any service. Mrs. Bentley stated that the original
24 lots in the area had been consolidated and resurveyed into,
larger parcels for a total of 16 lots. The Mayor raised the
question as to whether or not the City could legally own water
distribution lines and meters outside the City limits. Council-
man Jacobs made a motion. seconded by Councilman Hammer and
carried to take the matter under advisement.
Reed Howell. Mrs. Warielista. Mrs. Johnsu,i. ,,.tch Williams.
Dahl 2ohner. Mary Rees and Ken Latham voiced opinions represent-
ing a group of citizens concerning street noises. mostly auto-
motive, during late night hours and some during daytime. The
complaints covered loud exhausts on cars, trucks and motorbikes,
screeching tires and occasionally entertainment music. Police
Chief Dalton recited activities already in progress to'curtail
the noise. He also invited interested citizens to ride with the
Police Department at any time and noted that other duties left
little time for traffic control during the daytime. The Re-
corder was instructed to check with Price and helper on noise
ordinances. The Mayor and Councilmen indicated ,full support
of the Police in their efforts and authorized te use of addi-
tional time. if necessary. to reduce the problem. It was suggested
that the Highway Patrol might render some help for the situation.
Tire noises emanate mainly from rapid acceleration and turn-
arounds. The turn-arounds.tnless illegally executed. cannot be
stopped.

Regarding motorbikes, it was stated that the Police have no
authority over their uSe on private property. Mike Barker of the
Utah Parks and Recreation Service stated that this service does
have authority to enter private property to control recreational
vehicles.
Councilman Jacobs said that he believed strong and massive
citizen support would be the best aid to correct a problem.
Royce Henningson commented on coffee breaks taken by Police afFicq
officers.
Dahl Zohner also listed the new City street cleaner as creat-
ing a noise disturbance. The vacuum fan does have a high-pitched
whine but is muffled as well as possible by factory equipment. It
works in early morning hours when the curbs are relatively free
of parked autos. but operating hours will be altered as much as
practical.
City Police Sergeant Rowley stated that the Chief has the day
watch which means double duty if all administrative and investiga-
tive work is to be kept up and the indicated desired patrolling is
also accomplished. He suggested employing one more officer to
permit complete 24-hour patrol and permit the Chief to handle all
other essential duties. The suggestion was taken under advisement
by the Council.
Col. Russell Hale. representing the Golf Associ:._ion. presen-
ted their budget indicating a need for additional funds and reques
ing $1.500.00 from the City for the coming year. Request was take
under advisement by the Council for City budget consideration.

ing be published and submitted to the Federal Government.

cleaner was still not in proper working condition.
Councilman Hammer raised a question concerning cooling of
the shop building. The Recorder was directed to research the
activity of last year on the matter.
Mr. Wade Tangren requested a zoning variance in reference
to a house trailer location involving a hardship case. He was
referred to Building Inspector Shaffer.
A motion was made by Councilman Peterson, seconded by
Councilman Hammer and carried to adopt proposed ordinance 3-74
insofar as it is not in conflict with Chapter 16 of City Code,
with an inspector to be designated, to be published in The
Times Independent June 12, 1974 to become effective June 20.
1974.
The Council, in discussion, agreed to having the transfer
made. as budgeted, of $108.000.00 to the special assessment
fund.
As the result of an informal budget study session held
on May 30, 1974 by the Council with accountant E. J. Claus in
attendance, each Councilman had been presented with a rough
budget proposal. Each Councilman then revised the areas as
had been assigned by the Mayor. This information was then

were approved as submitted. Councilman Bonser was not in atten-
dance for this vote.
Robert Hawks, garbage collection contractor, appeared before
the Council to present an oral and written request for an increase
in collection rates from $2.50 per month to $3.50 for residential
pickups and $4.00 to $5.50 On basic commercial rates. He also
was willing to make a nominal compensation to the City for the
billing and collection costs. The amount being considered was
$.15 per billing. On the basis of the present number of bill-
ings and in the interest of simplicity, a flat fee of $160.00
per month to the City was proposed. After some discussion.
Councilman Hammer made a motion, seconded by Councilman Jacobs.
that the proposal as outlined above be accepted for a period
of one year. The motion was carried. Councilman Bonser was
absent during this piece of business.
Representatives of Hank's Billiards appeared before the
Council to clarify questionable action in the extension of
.their building to the east toward First West Street. Presently
First West Street is 66 feet in width on a 99 foot dedicated
right-of-way. The building addition as constructednapparently
encroaches on this right-of-way. The Council agreed to permit
the construction to remain with the provision that William H.
Johnston. owner, sign a release to the City stating that if at
any time the City elected to widen the street the building owner
would remove any part of the building necessary to provide the
proper clearance. The City Attorney would be directed to pre-
pare the Agreement.
In compliance with an advertised public hearing, requests
of K. E. McDougald for zoning reclassification and zoning map
changes were presented on an individual basis. A McDougald
service station located at the intersection of Fifth West Street
and U. 5. Highway 163 was in the recently adopted zoning ordi-
nance classified as C-2 zone. A piece of property south of the
service station and extending from Fifth West to U. S. 163 was classi-
fied as C-5. McDougald's request was to have this parcel re-
classified as C-2. His request further was to reclassify the
next parcel southward to the rear of residential lots facing
Marcus Court and again extending between Fifth West and U. S.
163 from R-2 to C-2. James McEwan,an initial spokesman for
Marcus Court residents, asked concerning the provisions of C-2
zoning. Councilman Bonser read aloud all or a major portion of
the C-2 portion of the zoning ordinance. Mrs. Olesen. Norma Nunn,
Gary Pickard and Wayne Edwards viewed the map of areas in ques-
tion and voiced disapproval of C-2 zoning adjacent to their prop-
erty. On a motion by Councilman Bonser, seconded by Councilman
Hammer ana carried, the request of tir. McDouu to have C-5 p:ticel
rezoned to C-2 was granted and the parcel in R-2 to C-2 was denied.
Another request from Mr. McDougald to rezone an area southward
from Fourth North extending along the east side of Fifth West
for a depth of 70.5 feet from C-5 to C-2 and extend eastward
for 110 feet to encompass the full parcel of property in one
zone rather than have the parcel divided into two zones (C-5 and
R-2) was discussed briefly by the Council. The McDougald request
was granted on a motion by Councilman Hammer, seconded by Council-
man Bonser and carried.
The final zoning item for consideration involved the area of
Ithe Utah State Highway Department road yard, the City shop and
yard and the brine well south of these and west of Mountain View
,subdivision. Some discussion was held concerning the possible
!reaction of Mountain View residents. It was noted that none were
'present to voice opinions and that the facilities were already
in existence but non -conforming as zoned. On a motion by Council-
man Jacobs. seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried the area as
mapped and officially described was rezoned I-1. Councilman
,;Bonser voted nay.

Ray Tibbetts and Barbara Domenic appeared concerning prop-
erty once known as Robin Nest Trailer Court. The area in wh&ch
it is located is now zoned C-5. The trailer court has not been
operated for several years and such activity is not permitted
in C-5 zone. The former,�9p�eration encompassed 26 trailer space
on an area of less than ti+8-`acres. A potential buyer indicates
a desire to redivide it into a maximum of 8 mobile home spaces.
A request for variance or permission to establish this business
had received negative response from the Zoning Administrator.
As rezoning appears to be the only legal recourse for the pro-
ponents and such a request had not been made, they were re-
ferred to the Planning Commission to pursue the proper channels.
In a previous informal budget study meeting the Councilmen
agreed to include in budget revenue an increase in mil levy up
to 6 mils with 2 mils earmarked for special improvement funds.
On a motion made by Councilman Jacobs, seconded by Councilman
Peterson and carried. with a nay vote from Councilman Hammer.
the agreement is made a part of these minutes.
On a motion made by Councilman Jacobs, seconded by Council-
man Peterson and carried, the bills as presented were ordered
paid.
The Mayor noted a request from the School Board President
for the City to cut the curb and provide a driveway on Third
East Street to permit access to an open lot at Third East and
Center to be used for a parking lot for the Junior High School
athletic field. There was indication that both the school and
the County would cooperate in the project. Councilman Jacobs
made a motion. seconded by Councilman Bonser and carried. that
the City would do the engineering and furnish the concrete
toward executing the project.
Councilman Bonser reported on a meeting that was held with

Concerning the Revenue Sharing portion of the budget. Coun-
cilman Bonser stated that outside fund sources for the Drug
Advisory Board had been lost and that the $1,000.00 budgeted in
fiscal 1974 had not been expended. He requested that these
funds be made immediately available to the Board for some
office equipment and that a like sum be made available for fis-
cal 1975. The local Board concentrates primarily on education
and prevention, treatment facilities not being available.

Dodie Moore appeared before the Council posing questions con-
cerning the future of her beauty shop operation. Her business is
located in an area, the rezoning of which places the business in a
non -conforming situation. She wishes to discontinue the operation
for a year or two or possibly three and then resume it. The first
question was if the business license was kept paid up (flat fee
75
license, $30.00 per year) would this offset the discontinuance
provision covering non-conformance in the zoning ordinance
(refer to Ordinance 02.0702, paragraph C). The second questior
was if while not operating, or limiting the operation to hair
cutting only, could the water and sewer be billed at residen-
tial rather than commercial rates. This difference in cost
has been estimated at $40.00 to $50.00 per year. Someone
raised the possibility of operating one month during the year
to retain active status. (Intermittent changes in water bill-
ing would raise havoc in the City business office and would
be a near impossibility to monitor except at the customer's
option.) The Council decided to take the questions under ad-
visement and make response to Mrs. Moore within two weeks.
Joan Key appeared before the Council with a request to
open a beauty shop in a residence in an R-3 zone under the
definition as a home occupation. Attorney Ruggeri voiced the
opinion that this could not be done, but stated that he would
research the ordinance in more detail. Mayor McDougald stated
that if a rezoning request was desired it should be presented
through the Planning Commission.
Les Erbes asked about the continuation of splitting the
town for yard watering purposes. The Mayor stated that the
announcement for lifting the ban would be made the next morn-
ing, Wednesday. July 3, 1974, but that people should continue
using water with care.
Key Construction Co. submitted the only bid for buildings
piping and electrical work at wells 4A and 7. The total bid
amount was $24,639.60. which did not include materials re-
quired for piping and electrical hookups. Bid for buildings
only was $22,170.20 with electrical being $2,272.40. An addi-
tional $1,079.00 was bid to lay a pipeline from No. 7 well to
by-pass to golf course irrigation pond. Well flow character-
istics had developed in a different pattern than indicated at
the time of drilling. Due to this it was thought that con-
struction specifications might require changing. Councilman
Jacobs made a motion to take the Key bid under advisement and
if awarded at a later date any bona fide cost increases that
might result from the delay would be allowed to the contractor
The motion was seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried.
Mr. K. E. McDougald also engaged in a discussion concern-
ing his recent request for zoning map changes, a portion of
which had been denied by the Council following the public
hearing. Mr. McDougald requested that the Council reconsider
the denial action. The Council agreed to further discussion
at the next regular meeting and that the opposing property
owners would be notified to appear and determine if an equitable
agreement can be reached.
Councilman Bonser initiated a discussion concerning the
advisability of installing signs at the Clt; "Irk as an aid in
enforcement against the use of alcoholic beverages, beer in
particular. The consensus of the Council was to continue
enforcement efforts without posting any signs.
The subject of establishing closing hours for private clu
was discussed. Councilman Bonser was to seek a reaction from
the Elks and to advise Towne and Country operator to tighten_
up the operation. The results of Councilman Bonser's inves-
tigation may guide future Council action.
Councilman Bonser was also to investigate a report of
Police shooting cats at the dump and a report of an arrange-
ment between the Poplar Place and the Police concerning the
sound volume of music emanating from the premises.
The Recorder was directed to consult the Utah State High-
way Department traffic engineer concerning the use of traffic
lanes and control signs on some City streets.

This is in reference to reaching a procedural policy for the
distribution of water in that area.
Ordinance 3-74 concerning the cleaning of lots became effec-
tive on June 27, 1974 and was to have an administrator appointed.
(This will presumably become a part of Chapter 16, Moab City Code.)
On a motion made by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman
Nightingale and carried. the Chief of Police was designated as
administrator. Councilman Bonser voted nay.
The Council decreed that the swimming pool should be opened
for general swimming only during afternoon hours on July 4, 1974.

at 7:35 P.M. on the above date.
In attendance were Councilmen Harold Jacobs, Dick Hammer,
Skip Nightingale, Jerry Bonser and Keith Peterson, Attorney
Ruggeri, Engineer Keogh and Recorder Unger.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Bonser and carried, that the minutes of the July 2, 1974
meeting be approved as submitted. Councilman Hammer was not
present for this vote.
In response to the request of Mr. K. E. McDougald for a
rehearing on his previously denied petition for rezoning of
certain property in Utex Subdivision from R-2 to C-2, Mr.
McDougald appeared before the Council. InLL.:ated property
owners had been invited to attend. Those in attendance were
Mr. James McEwen, Mr. and Mrs. P. Olesen, Mr. Wayne Edwards,
Ms. Avis Burd and Mr. Croasmun. Mr. McDougald briefly out-
lined the investment existing in the property and problems
involved toward future development either as residential or
commercial. A few questions were posed by the property owners.
Rather than consume Council time for discussion, the group
withdrew to meet privately and attempt to reach an agreement
to present to the Council at a later date.
In reference to questions raised several weeks previously
concerning Mrs. Bentley's request for water service in the
western portion of Grand View Subdivision, Councilman Bonser
made a motion, seconded by Councilman Nightingale and carried,
that the City would delivery water into the privately -owned
distribution system only through a master meter with a single
commercial rate billing to the subdivider or responsible organi-
zation, with no responsibility to the City beyond the master
meter and the cost of the meter plus installation and a ser-
vice deposit to be paid by the subdivider immediately at the
Stime of installation.

The possibility of restoring an outdoor drinking fountain Main & Center

For the purpose of providing a convenient additional signe
for City checks, Joanne A. Lish was designated as Assistant
Deputy Treasurer, to be bonded, and sign the account cards at
both banks. The above was confirmed by a motion made by Coun-
cilman Bonser, Seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried.
A motion was made by Councilman Nightingale, seconded by
Councilman Peterson and carried, Councilman Hammer abstaining,
to grant the request of the Inca Inn Restaurant for a beer
license. The application was previously cleared by the Chief
of Police.
The case of Dodie's Beauty Shop (non -conforming under new
zoning ordinance) requesting possible relief from licensing
fees and/or commercial utility rates during a proposed inde-
finite idle period, was again discussed. It was thenppinion
of the City Attorney that to retain non -conforming status
rather than to lose the former operating permission, business
license must be kept valid and commercial utility rates should
apply along with the licensing intent, regardless of the amount
of, or lack of, business activity. Councilman Bonser made a
motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried, that a busi-
ness license must be kept active wherever it is desired to
retain active status under a non -conforming situation and that
commercial utility rates must pertain where applicable to a
licensed business.
Mayor McDougald introduced a discussion on the sandy con-
dition in well water and the problems being encountered by some
businesses and residents.
The Council unanimously passed the following resolution:
RESOLUTION 1-74
WHEREAS, the present sources of municipal water
supply are limited; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council of the City
of Moab are acutely aware of the continuing need for
additional water for municipal purposes; and
WHEREAS, it is believed by the Mayor and City Coun-
cil that the water from Mill Creek will eventually
have to be utilized for municipal purposes; and
WHEREAS, the construction of the proposed Mill
Creek Project, in the opinion of the Mayor and City
Council, would provide unappropriated water and
storage facilities for said unappropriated water,
which could be utilized for municipal purposes,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor
and City Council of the City of Moab be and they are
hereby placed on record as favoring construction of
the proposed Mill Creek Dam and storage facility as
a plan for insuring the availability of water for the
citizens and residents of Moab City and as a long-
range plan to guranatee that water will be available
for future needs.
Councilman Bonser announced a meeting to be held at 10;00

Councilman Bonser also stated that there would be no more
shooting at the dump by Police officers. The Chief of Police
had discussed noise problems with the management of the'Pop-
lar Place. He, Bonser, had discussed thelpossibility of clos-
ing time regulations for private clubs with the Elks Lodge
and they were in accord if regulations were deemed necessary;
the Town & Country Club had not been contacted yet. Council-
man Bonser distributed a proposal concerning wage rates for
the Police Department and requested an increase for auxiliary
Police from $2.25 to $2.75 per hour. The proposal and re-
quest were to be taken under advisement for action at the
next regular meeting with the latter item to be made retro-
active if approved.
Councilman Nightingale reiterated his readiness to
assist in coordinating the City Office activities with E. J.
Claus, CPA, the Recorder and office employees.
Councilman Nightingale requested information on the
billing received from I. Dale Despain, The Recorder responded
that it was the premise that the work on the zoning ordinance
was a package arrangement and the billing was complete and
final for this project.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Coun-
cilman Jacobs and carried, that the bills as presented be
paid.
Councilman Nightingale requested that an advance written
notice be prepared for the Councilmen's schedule on Moab

The Council was notified that the mil levy for the new
budget year must be established at the next regular meeting.

League (Jr. High School) Ball Field and the County had
agreed to replace this with like material as soon as possible.

Jim Hudson for subdivision amendment in Utex Subdivision cov-
ering proposed acreage for church construction and two large

August 6. 1974
The regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to
order in the Council Chambers by Mayor ;im, Dean McDougald at 7:40
P.H. on the above date.
In attendance were Councilmen Harold Jacobs, Richard Hammer,
I. D. Nightingale and Gerald Bonser, Attorney Ruggeri and Recor-
der Unger. Councilman Peterson was absent.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion. seconded by Councilman
nightingale and carried. that the minutes of the meeting of July
16, 1974 be approved as submitted.
Sterling Spafford, representing Galbraith and Green, Inc., in-
surance consultants and administrators, presented an explanation
of a group insurance plan underwritten by Gem State Mutual of Utah
for the Utah League of Cities and•Towns {actually for any public
79
employees in the State of Utah). A comparison -was made with the
present Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan in which the City is participat-
ing. Some surgical benefits in the proposed plan are less extensive
than in the present plan but appear to be adequate to cover the
greater costs in the majority of probable situations. There is a
nominal savings in premium. The Council decided to take the compari-
son under advisement but noted that no changes would be made without
consultation and approval of the City employees. A plan submitted by
the Stoye Agency from Travelers Insurance was not submitted to the
Council. It had been previously reviewed in the Mayor's office and
round to be more expensive and offering less coverage.
The Recorder was instructed to secure fuel bids for a period of
twelve months. beginning September 1, 1974.
A request was presented in behalf of John Keogh for the contin-
uation of an agreement permitting him to utilize overflow waste
water from the Old City Park pond, only part of which is presently
being used due to an 114" pipeline which is inadequate, thus permittin
a periodic pond overflow with resultant erosion. The Keogh request
was for permission to replace the 11/4" pipeline with a 4" pipeline,
to share with a neighbor and control runoff erosion. Councilman Ja-
cobs made a motion. seconded by Councilman Nightingale and carried.
to permit the pipe size change with all other factors in the original
agreement remaining in effect.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer
and carried, to adopt Resolutions 2-74 and 3-74, which follow in
these minutes.

Following some discussion with clarifications offered by Ed
Claus, CPA, in attendance for this portion of the meeting, Council-
man Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Nightingale and
carried, to adopt Resolution 4-74, below, establishing the mill levy
for fiscal 1975.
RESOLUTION 4-74
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council of Moab by
resolution adopted a budget at their meeting held
June 25, 1974 for the fiscal year July 1, 1974-June 30,
1975; and
WHEREAS, it appears necessary that additional
revenue be raised to insure' adequate funds to support
the 1975 fiscal year budget; and
WHEREAS. the only source of revenue available to
the City Council to insure sufficient funds to support
the budget so adopted is through property taxes; and
WHEREAS, from the information available at this
time an increase in the mill levy from 17 mills for the
general fund and 1 mill for the Special Improvement
District should be raised to 23 mills for the general
fund and 1 mill for the Special Improvement District.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED. that the 17 mills
for the general fund be. and the same is. hereby in-
creased from 17 mills to 23 mills and the mill levy for
the Special Improvement District be, and the same is,
hereby raised to 1 mill.
The Council authorized a payment of $75.00 for Police parti-
cipation. in the summer of 1974, in Men's Softball Association.
Councilman Bonser Stated that it should be paid from the Police
budget.
The Council authorized a contribution of $50.00 toward a
beauty pageant expense subject to the approval of Councilman Peter-
son for payment to be made from Community Affairs fund.
An agreement made between the City of Moab and Charles D. Chase,
DVM, for impounding and disposal of dogs was presented to the Council.
A motion for approval was made by Councilman Nightingale, seconded
by Councilman Hammer and carried. Councilman Jacobs voted nay.
A question was raised concerning a policy to be followed if a
property owner requests permission for fencing aiiuuld City propertiy
be involved. This pertains in areas where City streets do not abut
property lines. thus leaving an open area between the existing curb
and the property owner's boundary. It was agreed that fencing could
be permitted with a minimum setback of five feet from curb line to
permit foot traffic. If the fence location is on City property or
encloses City property, the owner desiring the fence shall enter
into a written agreement with the City to remove the fence at the
owner's expense at any time the City may so request.
It was noted that the Building Inspector encounters considerable
difficulty at times in relation to securing applications for building
permits. This is particularly true in cases of do-it-yourself pro-
jects where a citizen may not be as aware of regulations as a con-
tractor should be. When approached by the Inspector. then response
is at times quite negative. In cases where a City employee may be
involved in such a violation, it was the edict of the Council that
the Administration should take any additional steps necessary to
assure compliance. Periodic lapses by the School District were also
noted. They. too. should comply with the routine of regulations.
even though the fees would be abated. --

In reference to the new construction of First Security Bank,
the bank has a 20 foot wide strip running north from Center Street
to the south fence line of the post office yard area. Their plan is
to surface this strip along with bank parking and drive -up window
areas. They made a request that the City also pave or repair the
balance of the potential alleyway from their property north on
through to First North Street. It was learned that the City owns a
16 foot wide strip from First North Street southward for 90.5 feet
and a 13 foot wide strip from this point southward for 25 feet. The
intervening distance of 115.5 feet is the property of Dr. Munsey.
According to the bank, the doctor assured them that he would grant
the City a right-of-way to permit execution of the project. This
intervening section has been open and traveled for many years. The
Council agreed that the City should proceed with acquisition of the
right-of-way and make the necessary surface improvements to provide
a usable passageway.
Tom Stocks entered the Chambers, was acknowledged by the Mayor,
and stated that he had been requested by Mrs. John Krist to inform
the Council that a 4-H stock show was to be held at the Rodeo grounds
on Monday, August 12, with a stock auction sale to be conducted at
7:00 P.M.

A letter` from the Castle Valley Institute requesting refund of
a building license fee in the amount of $64.00 was read to the Coun-
cil. Councilman Hammer made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser
and carried, to rebate the amount in question.
A discussion was held concerning recent complaints concerning
noise from the Poplar Place and an apparent lack of cooperation of
the owners with the Police Department. Attorney Ruggeri informed the
Council that he had been requested to file public nuisance charges
against the business. In his opinion a more practical, simpler and
effective means would be for the Council to revoke the beer license.
A decision was reached to seek documentation of the complaints on
which the Council could base a decision and then decide on revocation
or additionally call the owners to a hearing before the Council to
show cause why the revocation should not be executed.
The Council was informed concerning an agreement made last year
between the City and County concerning the financing of the Mill Cree
Drive bridge project wherein a joint bank account was to be estab-
lished for holding the funds. Since this had not been accomplished,
the Recorder had discussed the situation with the County Commission
on August 5, 1974 and learned that it was the will of the Commission
that the City administer the funds with all other provisions in the
agreement remaining unchanged. The Recorder was also instructed to
check with the State Highway Engineering Department concerning the
bridge design as it might relate to the flow of flood waters.
A discussion was held concerning Councilman Bonsee'.. proposal
covering Police salaries effective beginning July 1, 1974. A motion
was made by Councilman Nightingale. seconded by Councilman Jacobs
and carried, to accept the proposal as submitted with one deletion.
The City will not pay the dependent premium on the group medical and
hospitalization plan.
Councilman Nightingale presented a proposal for salaries in the
Administrative Department. This proposal was accepted on a motion
made by Councilman Bonser, leconded by Councilman Hammer and carried.
Councilman Jacobs submitted a salary proposal for the street and
utility departments and made a motion for its acceptanee. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Nightingale and carried.
- Details of these proposals will be made available to the payroll
clerk. Basically the intent was to handle supervisors on an indivi-
dual basis, to honor commitments made to new employees and provide a
percentage increase for all other employees at a specified date. all
in an attempt to achieve some procedural standardization for the futu
- Councilman Hammer was assigned the duty of studying the salary
situation of the Building Inspector. The entire Council is to review
the conditions pertaining to the City Judge and Court Clerk.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion to pay the bills as pre-
sented. The mction was seconded by Councilman Bnnc^.• and carried.
Councilman Bonser read a letter from an Isabelle Bills directed
to the Mayor and raising complaints against the Police Department.
Due to the peculiar nature of the letter. it was decided that it
should be filed without response.
Councilman Hammer stated that he was again receiving complaints
of renewed noise from exhause and tires of motorbikes and automobiles
He also requested information concerning the enforcement of the
recently passed ordinance covering trash, etc., on open lots and •
around buildings. Councilman Bonser responded that it had not yet
been possible to set up a conference between Councilmen, enforcement
people and the court to establish a uniform plan of action.
Councilman Hammer raised questions concerning sandy water damage
alleged by A & W Root Beer and their requests for financial settle-
ment from the City. The tenor of the Council was in opposition to
accepting any financial responsibility. The Mayor had made assurance
to the complainant of City cooperation toward resolving the problem.
The Council gave full support for the Mayor to settle the issue.

An unexecuted request and agreement made with the previous
administration was reviewed. Erma Taylor wishes to reroute the
sewer line between residence and sewer main. The Council agreed
to comply with the previous arrangement whereby,no new connection
fee would be assessed butthe property owner would pay the City for
the actual cost of a new connection front the prolerty line Eo the
City main.
The Mayor announced that he would be attending a Director's
meeting for the Utah League of Cities and Towns being held in Cedar
City on August 10, 1974. He asked if the Councilmen had any
questions or problems for him to present it the meeting. There
were none.

Betty Nelson appeared in protest of her citation and con-
viction concerning a dog violation. She then offered some
criticism of the zoning regulations. Those present listened
respectfully and referred any necessary follow-up to Animal
Control officer Stocks and Building Inspector (Zoning Admin-
istrator) Shaffer.
Marti Benge up -dated the group concerning the activities
of the Bi-centennial Committee. In reference to a possible
convention center, she announced the scheduling of a joint
meeting at 7:30 P.M., September 4, 1974, with the County Com-
mission and School Board and requested City Council represen-
tation at the meeting.
Paul Manoini, dba the Wagon Wheel, requested information
concerning admitting 18 year olds to pool and game rooms op-
erated in conjunction with beer taverns. It being illegal for
anyone under 21 years of age to be in or about tavern premises,
the consensus was that violations should not be encouraged or
permitted. Councilman Bonser is to contact other operations
where enforcement may be applicable.
The meeting was formally opened by the Mayor at 8:50 P.M.
In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs, Nightingale, Hammer and
Bonser, Attorney Ruggeri, Engineer Keogh and Recorder Unger.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Hammer and carried, to approve the minutes of the meetung
of August 6, 1974 as submitted.

Approval by the City of an application from the Apache

cilman Nightingale, seconded by Councilman Jacobs and carried,
to approve the request. Councilman Hammer voted nay.
It had -been proposed that a joint venture be undertaken
by the City and County to place a larger culvert under a County
road in the vicinity of the Old City Park as a flood control
aid. Councilman Jacobs is to investigate.
A question was raised concerning public weighing on the
truck scales at the City yard. Use of the scales has been and
will continue to be permitted during regular business hours for
such vehicles as can be accommodated. It is not intended that
the scale business be exploited, but done only as required as a
public convenience.
A request of Melvin Goff for City assistance in providing
a gutter or flodd run-off ditch alongside so-called Powerhouse
Road was discussed and denied. This access to property off
Mill Creek Drive has been maintained by the City but is in re-
ality a 12 foot wide property easement for Utah 'Power & Light
Co.
Between the cul-de-sac at the west end of Andrea Court to
the irrigation' ditch on the east side of Fifth West Street is
an open concrete storm drain. It will carry a nominal amount o
storm water and prevent or minimize erosion from adjacent
properties. The grade is too flat to carry leaves and grass
cuttings when the only water available is from yard watering th
flows into the gutters from up the street. The property owners
adjacent to the drain complain of the stagnant smell unless
City crews periodically clean the drain manually or with fire
hose. Additional fall (or grade) could be achieved by rebuild-
ing the drain to discharge at a lower level in the irrigation
ditch. Councilman Hammer made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Nightingale and carried, for the City to rebuild this drain.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Nightingale and carried, to adopt the Utility Budget as sub-
mitted.
It was decided to hold a meeting at 2:00 P.M. on Friday,
August 23, 1974, to include Chief Dalton, Mayor McDougald,
interested Councilmen and Joe May, dba the Poplar Place, re-
garding noise nuisance complaints related to the business.
Judge Crist presented a lengthy statistical dissertation
on City Judge work loads and compensation throughout Utah in
support of his request for a salary increase. Councilman Bon-
ser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Nightingale and
carried, that the salary of the Moab City Judge for the period
July 1, 1974 to June 30, 1975 be established at $12,000.00 per
year and in addition the City will pay the 6% reiwement bene-
fit previously deducted from the salary.
In addition to advertising, five firms were invited to
bid on motor fuel supply for the period September 1, 1974 to
August 31, 1975. Texaco, Conoco and Union did not bid. Bids
were received from McDougald Oil and Chevron. On the basis of
prices prevailing at the time of bidding, Chevron was the
parent low bidder. A motion was made by Councilman Hamner,
•econded by Councilman Jacobs and carried to award contract to
ow bidder subject to specification review by Councilman Jacobs
and Recorder Unger.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Council-
man Jacobs and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
Councilman Jacobs led a discussion hn trash conditions at

Wm. Dean McDougald.
In attendance were Councilmen Nightingale, Hammer, Bonser

The following petition was submitted as an introduction to
complaints against Mr. May:
AUGUST 14, 1974

loud music emanating from the "Poplar Place" until late night
hours. We petition the volume of music be lowered to insure
no further disruption of the peace.

It was then pointed out that over a period of time the
Police had received numerous noise complaint calls but their
visits to the establishment produced only temporary results.
The Mayor advised Mr. May that it_was the decision of .the
Council to revoke his license for a ten-day period on a first
offense basis with a second offense resulting in a thirty -day
revocation, and a third offense in permanent loss of license.
He added that it was also the consensus of the Council that the
City had more than adequate Class I leer outlets and if any
existingoone terminated for any reason no license would be
granted on a new application.
Mr. May stated the noise problem was generally related to
times when -live entertainment was provided. He would discon-
tinue the practice of having live music&
Chief Dalton stated that although other problems arise
that are more or less typical to this type of establishment,
the one that had been out of control was the noise situation.
In view of the fact that Mr. May volunteered to discontinue the
live music and said he could maintainLcontrol over the sound
volume from a'"juke^ box, the Chief recommended withholding
action on the ten-day revocation.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Council-
man Bonser and carried, to permit the Poplar Place to prove its
actions under the new arrangement with penalty to be :in ked if
and when so recommended by the Chief of Police.

Linda Steen, Moab representative of Planned Parenthood appeare
before the Council to present a six-month report of activities as
originally -requested by the Council in,granting a one-year trial
operation. She stated that her hours had been from 9:00 A.M. to
1:00 P.M:, with two hours spent in the office and two hours daily,
in the field: Twenty office inquiries had been recieveo rrom low
income families. Door-to-door household calls had received favorabl
response.-1Councilmen Jacobs asked concerning the kind ofiservices
^f'ered. The response was that no pressure is applied, but an
effort made to determine the size of families people desire. It
was stated that the number of low income families in Moab was sur-
prisingly high. The main control services available cover contra-
ception and VD control, the latter posing no local problems. Family
information is available to cover physiological problems., I11
children are referred to the County Nurse.- Unemployment and mental
health are also referred to respective agencies. Councilman Hammer
requested information on program funding. The response was that
funds from HEW are administered by the State on a need basis. Coun-
cilman Bonser complimented Mrs, Steen on her voluntary six-month
report which indicated no public problems or community upsets. Area
Director_ Pat Colosimo from Price was informed -by Councilman Jacobs
that following some local inquiries a letter of comment on the
activity would be forthcoming from the City.

Earl D. Johnston, dba Hank's Billiards, appeared in support
of an appllcation,for,a cabaret license. Councilman Bonser made
a motion, seconded by Councilman,Hanmer and carried, to permit
the issuance of a license for a half year to be renewed on Janu-
ary 1, 1975 on a calendar year basis to coincide with beer licen-
sing period.
Mr. & Mrs. Terry Warner, 336 Park Road, accompanied by Police
Sergeant Rowley, appeared before the Council to register a com-
plaint concerning loud musical practice sessions emanating from
directly across the street at indiscriminate hours. The complaint
was precipitated resulting from threats to sand gasoline tanks and
break windows made by the noise makers following attempts to secure
curtailment of the activities. After some discussion, it was
decided that the Police should identify the noise makers following
which at least three complainants would sign a complaint and if
necessary appear in court as witnesses to abate the nuisance. Dur-
ing this period of activity, Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald, Councilman
Nightingale and Engineer Keogh joined the meeting.
A request was submitted through the Recorder with information
from the Gity Attorney for a one -residence stub water connection
permit off the McDougald 0i1 Company line off the City water main.
This could involve the necessity of pumping to reach the residence.
The City Attorney submitted an agreement proposal to allow such a
connection under permission from McDougald 0il Company and in com-
pliance with all City water connection regulations. Councilman
Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer _ad carried,
to allow an application under the proposed legal stipulations.
Mayor McDougald announced the September 26-28 annual meeting
of the Utah Legaue of Cities and Towns and requested that Coun-
cilmen planning to attend should make their intentions known so
that registration and reservations could be cared for.
Councilman Jacobs outlined week -end problems related to water
or sewer service emergencies during which time no employees were
on duty. He proposed that department employees be scheduled on a
rotation basis to be available for call. The assigned employee,
would be paid $5.00 per day for weekend or holiday stand-by duty.
In addition, for these times or after hours, a non -supervisory
employee would receive a minimum of two hours overtime pay for each
call -out, or to include actual time in excess of two hours. It
was the opinion of the Council that Councilman Jacobs should have
a free hand in developing details of a policy to cover such emer-
gencies.
Councilman Jacobs also expressed a desire to pursue a means
of mechanically monitoring well pumping operation. He was exten-
ded permission to proceed with such a project.
A question arose concerning Police pay policies before and
after the most recently adopted salary plan. The Recorder was to
review prior hiring and report to Councilman Boncar concerning pre-
vious commitments. Particular reference involved Patrolman Duncan.
Councilman Hammer stated that he had received complaints about
school children congregating behind the library during the noon
hour.. Councilman Bonser was to investigate for problems.
Councilman Hammer noted a request for oil dust sealing of
about z block of Park Drive south from Fifth West Street. It
was pointed out that this access was opened and graveled at the
request of property owners, but that paving, curbs and gutters
were the subdividing responsibilities of the street adjacent prop-
perty owners.
There also appear to be some child hazard problems along Fifth
West Street south of Fourth North,Street with the ditch and cul-
verts of Moab Irrigation Co. The street department will check.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion that the bills be paid
as presented, seconded by Councilman Jacobs and carried.

Councilman Peterson explained the planned enforcement of Ordi-
nance 3-74 relating to vacant lot cleanup. The Chief of Police has
been appointed as ordinance inspector. He or his deputies are to
locate or answer complaints on violations, take pictures and submit
with accurate descriptions to the Recorder's office. This office
will contact the owner by certified mail concerning the problem and
the oridinance to initiate complaince. The balance of procedurewoul
follow the ordinance.
It was pointed out that there was some City -owned property that
could be under criticism for similar violations. The Council was to
meet informally for coffee at the Apache Cafe at 10:00 A.M., Friday,
September 6, 1974, and tour some of the immediate area for inspection

A special meeting of the City Council held jointly with the Cit
Planning Commission convened at 12:10 P..M.,at the Sundowner Restau-
rant on the above date.
In attendance were Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald, Councilmen Jacobs,
Nightingale, Bonser and Peterson, Planning Chairman Allen, Commissio
members•,Knowles, Gaither and Cook and City Recorder Unger.
The -Mayor outlined the purpose of the meeting, which was pri-
marily -to discuss means of orderly maintenance of City -owned propert
between curbs and private property lines, mainly in the original 25-
block City area. Depending on paved street widths and center line
locations, these "set backs" range from nothing up to a maximum of
28.51, A few property owners do maintain their frontages with grass
or weed -free gravel, but many areas are bare ground or weed patches.
In line with attempts to enforce the City Ordinances concerning
trashy and unsightly lots, the Council is quite concerned about the
condition of City property.
A general discussion was held and several ideas proposed for co
sideration. It was generally agreed that a good, economical, long-
range solution could not be achieved without considerable study and
City financial planning for the future.
The meeting adjourned at 1:00 P.M.

Due to the fact that the Grand County Road Superintendent had
determined that oil for seal coating was priced the same at all
possible sources and that it had to be taken on an "as available"
basis rather than on any schedule that might be established by the
local users, it was decided to proceed with the City street seal
coating project, when practical, using materials and spreading
equipment from Blackline Asphalt Sales Co., who had provided sat-
isfactory services in previous year. Councilman Nightingale made
a motion, seconded by Councilman Peterson and carried, to approve
the action without the regular bidding procedure.
The Recorder suggested that the Council consider the joint
building inspector, livestock control and Mill Creek Drive Bridge
project and clarify or resolve financial problems with the Grand
County Commission. The Council wished to have time to study the
problems, prepare recommendations and request a special meeting
with the Commission subject to their next regular meeting. It
is intended thatthe Council establish some guidelines to be
followed by the Mayor, Recorder and one or more Councilmen in
settling problems with the Commission.
Councilman Jacobs presented a letter invitation from E. N.
Hunter, President of Utah Power & Light Co. for the Mayor and
others to attend lunch and dedication of the newly completed
Huntington Power Plant. The dedication date is September 30, 1974.
The Mayor had previously stated his inability to attend. Coun-
cilman Nightingale plans to attend under a bank invitation. The
Recorder will make the suitable response.
Attorney Ruggeri joined the meeting.
Moab Jaycees Bob Ames, Ron Turner and one other appeared before
the Council. The Council was unaware of the purpose of their
appearance. The Recorder stated that they had been invited at
the request of the Mayor to discuss recreational problems concern-
ing young adults and teenagers. This was brought about by some
complaints against loud music emanating from an outdoor dance
sponsored by the Jaycees on the previous Friday night. Councilman
Bonser voiced support of teenage entertainment even at the expense
of a few complaints on noise. Councilmen Peterson and Nightingale
concurred. Mayor McDougald joined the meeting and took over the
chair. Councilman Jacobs stated that he believed that sound levels
could and should be controlled. The Jaycees said that they had
sponsored this one dance as a trial balloon. They would like to
sponsor others in the future, preferably indoors if suitable faci-
lities could be located. They did not want to be involved in any
noise disturbance controversies. It was noted that the Police
dispatcher had recieved nine complaint calls. The Mayor stated that
regardless of sentiment on entertainment it was the duty,of the
City authorities and the Police to enforce the laws and maintain
order. Councilman Peterson reitterated that the Council was not
opposed to entertainment when noise levels are held down. Follow-
ing some additional and somewhat repetitive discussion, the Jaycees
retired to attend their owh regular meeting and rc;--t on the
reaction they had received fromthe Council.
Mr. & Mrs. Terry Warner, Mr. and Mrs. James Dressback, Mr.
James Wiseman, Mr. R. Higgins and one or two others appeared
before the Council to reopen a complaint made at a previous Coun-
cil meeting concerning loud music from a "rock" band'practicing in
an open neighborhood garage at all hours of the day and night, plus
refusal of the band participants to conform to Police requests to
control their activities in a neighborly manner and making reprisal
threats against anyone who might attempt to secure Police inter-
vention. To some extent delayed action might be related to the
dislike of people getting actively involved in filing legal com-
plaints. A reassurance was given the group that the names of the
purported offenders would be secured and the City Attorney would
prepare a complaint. One citizen would sign the complaint and
three would appear in court as witnesses for the complaint.
Street Superintendent Day informed the Council concerning a
complaint he had investigated at the Five C's store location. In-
volved are water culverts that have partially collapsed and present
91
driving and walking hazards in the approach from driveway to store
parking area. Mr. Day stated that this was on private property
and he did not believe that making repairs should be a City respon-
sibility. Engineer Keogh confirmed that the properties involved
belonged to the Five C's and the Moab Irrigation Company. The City
Attorney is to write letters to the property owners requesting
them to abate a safety hazard forthwith. The action was confirmed
on a motion made by Councilman Hammer, seconded by Councilman
Jacobs and carried.
Councilman Bonser announced that some of the recent burglaries
had just been solved by the apprehension of two juveniles and re-
covery of stolen property.
He also informed the Council about the loss of one Police
officer to industry for higher pay. He then submitted -two proposals
to the Council for immediate future planning in the Police Depart-,
ment. One involved increasing the pay of all officers, including
the Chief, and putting them on a 44-hour work week operating with
a total force of four men. The other involved increasing the pay
rate for all but the Chief, hiring one new man for a force of five
men and remaining on a 40-hour work week. Councilman Nightingale
made a motion to permit Councilman Bonser to proceed toward main-
taining a five -man force and effecting his latest wage proposal with
the provision that the wage structure remain within boundaries of
the budget. The motion was seconded by Councilman Peterson and
carried. Councilman Hammer voted nay.
In the light of the Police pay problem, the Recorder was reques
ted to prepare a resurvey of all other City departments concerning
wages and related budget appropriations.
Councilman Jacobs voiced his concern over the type of many of
the people now moving into the Moab area.
Councilman Nightingale stated his intention of attending the
annual meeting of the Utah League of Cities and Towns. Mrs.
Nightingale will accompany him to Salt Lake City.
Councilman Peterson had been visited by State representatives
for beautification sheltered at least in part by the Utah Community
Progress program. One apparently worthwhile suggestion was to try
activating the Boy Scouts, Interact Club, Leo Club and other youth
groups to provide work parties for the purpose of weeding and doing
other types of cleanup work for property owners. In lieu of wages
the participating property owners would make reasonably fair contri-
butions to the organization under whose banner the work was done.
Councilman Peterson was designated as the proper person to contact
the youth groups and attempt to establish a cleanup program.
The Mayor stated that the Policemen on duty represent the City
and should be able to handle complaints through the dispatcher so
that Councilmen and administrative personnel need not, in most cases
be obligated to take immediate action to satisfy the complaint.
This did not pertain to emergencies concerning utii,ities.
Councilman Nightintale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Peterson and carried, to pay the bills as presented.

David Allen, Chairman of the City Planning Commission, intro-
duced Gustavo Fava, a Rotary exchange student from Brazil. Gus
read a letter from Mayor Luiz Garcia de Hero of Votuporanga, Brazil,
the student's home town. It is a city of about 45,000 population.
The letter described its location related to other better-known
cities in the country and the local industry. It extended a greet-
ing to the Mayor of Moab. After interpreting the letter, written
in Portuguese, Gus presented it to Mayor McDougald.
Willian Luce, representing consultants Nielsen, Maxwell and
Wangsgard, reported to the Council concerning flow measurements he
had made in some sewer lines during the early morning hours of the
day. Some infiltration was noted in the Palisades subdivision line,
with a greater amount found in one from Steenville or Taylor subdi-
vision areas. The flow measurement, in areas where thprn are no sewer
connections, was about 6 times the permissible structural leakage.
Considerable flow was also noted in the main line. This was basically
attributed to the number of water-cooled refrigeration and air condi-
tioning units that are served by this line. Mr. Luce stated that
the year 1983 was the final deadline for upgrading wastewater treat-
ment from class "D" to class "C" water quality. He outlined the
steps to be taken to achieve the requirements, with the addition of
tertiary treatment being the most costly. He stated that the
earlier plans are made the sooner it will be possible to secure
financial aid. His firm is to prepare a recommended step-by-step
time table on which to make plans.
Some discussion was also held concerning the water supply
situation.
Councilman Peterson joined the meeting.
The Recorder informed the Council that Walnut Lane Trailer
Courtwas seeking written permission to retain a sign on City
property at First North and Main Streets so an encroachment license
can be secured from the State Highway Department. Councilman Pet-
erson was assigned to investigate and report back to the Council.
The Mayor suggested that at the joint meeting with the County
Commission and the Soil Conservation Service scheduled for October
23, the Council and Commission hold over and review the joint ac-
tivities and agreements in force between the City dflU County. The
Recorder was instructed to provide the Councilmen with a list of
these agreements with each Councilman to be prepared to discuss
those in his particular area of responsibility.
Councilman Hammer requested a status report on the noise com-
plaint on Park Road. The report was that a complaint was prepared,
at Attorney Ruggeri's office, against the (adult) property owner,
but that no complainant had yet signed it.
Attorney Ruggeri said he has an appointment with Judge Keller
on October 9 and would attempt to have a specific time set. Inter-
ested Councilmen could also join the meeting, in reference to
juvenile conviction penalties.
Councilman Hammer asked about action taken in reference to cul-
vert problems at Five C's Store driveway. Attorney Ruggeri stated
that letters were dispatched to Five C's and Moab Irrigation Co.,
but no response received.

A motion was made by Councilman Nightingale, seconded by Coun-
cilman Peterson and carried, that the property owners, consisting of
the Moab Irrigation Co. and Everett W. Anderson and Constance L. An-
derson, doing business as the "Five C's" on Walnut Lane have been
placed on notice in writing by the City that a nuisance is being
maintained on the premises that must be corrected. No action has
been taken by the property owners, or either of them, to correct the
nuisance. Therefore, that the City take whatever action is necessary
to abate the nuisance; if necessary, the City crews are directed to
correct the nuisance and collect the costs from the property owners.
Councilman Hammer voted nay.

man Hammer made a motion, seconded by Councilman Nightingale and
carried, to expedite the repairs and proceed with the specified new
installations.
Councilman Nightingale discussed business licensing by the City
and expressed a desire to compare gross business fee returns with
the City's share of sales tax collected by the State. The Mayor and

Minutes approved
Mr. L. A Smith, local area manager of ULd,. das Service 4Utah Gas Service
Company, introduced the Company's president, Mr. Charles Shinn, franchise.
Vice President Lucey and Operations Superintendent Ball to the
Council. The Councilmen had previously been provided with
copies of a proposal from the Gas Company for a renewal of
their service franchise in Moab. Mr. Shinn was the principal
spokesman for the group. He noted that the major change in
the new proposal from the expiring franchise was that it cover
a period of 50 years rather than 20 years. He outlined the
reasoning behind this on the basis of a 33-year write-off perio
for all capital expenditures. They have already made consid-
erable investment to deliver gas from northern Utah into the
Northwest (E1 Paso) transmission line. This gas they can trad
for transmission to the north and thus make increased withdraw-
als from the southern portion of the transmission line in our
area. They do not anticipate any shortage in the area this
winter, including service to industrial accounts. They plan
to continue searching for new gas sources and as future invest-
ments are made the period of amortization extends. With a
long-term contract they are more able to secure funding for
such activities.

Resulting from considerable discussion, Councilman
Bonser suggested that a franchise tax of 1'%% on tie first
i $2,500.00 gross annually through each meter be included,
exempting tax -supported institutions, the franchise fee
to be paid semi-annually. Also, the existing gross busi-
Iness license fee would remain in eFfect. The franchise
;tax would be subject to review at the end of 20 years and
135 years. Mr. Shinn stated that the franchise tax would
be built into their rate schedule as would also be the
case in regulating distances and costs for distribution
line extensions to accommodate new customers.
Franchise provision, where applicable, would run co -
I terminous with regulations of the State of Utah.
The Gas Company will abide by construction regulations
specified by the State and Federal governments and the City
will not impose any additional codes.
The Gas Company was in accord with the requested changes
and additions and agreed to submit a revised proposal in-
corporating the same for consideration at the next regular
City Council meeting.

Councilman Peterson made a motion for the Council to
direct the City Attorney to bring court action against the
Five C's and Moab Irrigation Co. to abate the aforesaid
nuisance. The motion died for lack of a second.
Councilman Peterson reported on his investigation of
the request of Walnut Lane Trailer Court to continue the
display of their sign located on City property on the north-
west corner of First North and Main Streets. He then made
a motion that the request be denied. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Jacobs and carried. Councilman Hammer voted
nay; Councilman Bonser abstained.
A list of City/County joint ventures was reviewed as
preparation for a future discussion meeting to be held by
the Council with the County Commissioners.
Mayor McDougald opened a discussion on the meeting that
had been held with Juvenile Judge Keller and attended by
Councilmen, City Policemen and the City Attorney. Council-
man Jacobs stated that the suggestion for pursuing legisla-
tive action to establish parental responsibility for juven-
ile acts had been presented to the Southeastern Utah Asso-
ciation of Governments and was well received. They requested
some guidelines covering the matter to eu..mit to other.Cuunty
governmental groups and to the State Legislature. Attorney
Ruggeri is to research regulations in other states and submit
his recommendations.
Mayor McDougald announced the forthcoming meeting of
the San Miguel Power Association, scheduled in Moab on No-
vember 15, 1974. Attendance is anticipated at about 120
people. He passed along a request he had received for
suggestions and assistance in providing entertainment for
the group.
Councilman Bonser reviewed some of the recent Police
problems involving a rash of vandalism and break-ins. He
was concerned with threats of vigilante action.
Councilman Hammer stated that he was impressed withcthe
-meeting with Judge Keller and the Police Department.
95
Councilman Bonser also announced that the Junior High
School group wants to hold a Halloween dance at their school
and were working to raise funds to support it. He expressed hi
interest in giving support. The consensus of the Council was
that this type of activity should have parental chaperoning
rather than being placed under the supervision of school per-
sonnel.
Councilman Hammer spoke in favor of employing Gene Horton,
an applicant for shop clerk job. Mr. Horton's qualifications
appear to be more than adequate for the job, but his wage re-
quirements are also in excess of the prevailing rates. Coun-
cilman Jacobs said he is interested in upgrading the City per-
sonnel, but the budget should be adhered to and making indivi-
dual exceptions creates problems throughout the organization.
Councilman Jacobs announced that he was working on a sourc
for funds to be used in flood control work.
Councilman Peterson stated that after hearing of the
Police problems he was reticent to comment on the lack of
attempted enforcement of the recently adopted ordinance to
clean up trash and eyesores.
The Recorder informed the Council that the recent rate
increase for Utah Power & Light Co. would cost the City an
additional $3,000.90 per year for street lighting alone.
The Recorder sought guidance on a licensing rate for pri-
vately -operated child day care facilities. It was decided
to place it under the general professional group at $30.00
per year.
The Recorder announced that a once -required bond and
special license for gas fitters had ceased being enforced in
recent years. He was directed to work toward reviving it as
a necessary safety measure.
The Council was informed that, well drilling bids were
being advertised for well #9, with bid opening scheduled for
the November 19, 1974 Council meeting.
Councilman Peterson made a motion, seconded by Councilman

located in a building on Mill Creek Drive, in the County, once
known as the Alibi Club. A motion was made by Councilman Bonser,
seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried, to allow water service
without the usual customer deposit, but with the admonition that any
delinquency in water billing payment would result in immediate
turn-off.
Attorney Ruggeri entered the meeting.
Attorney Harry Snow appeared -on behalf of Everett Anderson to
attempt clearing a title on property being sold by Barbara Cathey
to Mr. Anderson. A number of years ago Howard Shields had granted
to the City a quit claim deed for property contemplated being used
as a roadway. Included in the deed was the Cathey property in ques-
tion. Attorney Snow contended that this represented an illegal
cloud on the title of the property. His request was for the Coun-
cil to grant a deed to Mrs. Cathey for the property in question.
The Council decided to meet with Attorney Snow and Engineer Keogh
at 10:00 A.M. the next morning (November 7, 1974) to make an
on -the -premises inspection of the location before making a decision.
Roberta Anderson escorted several young ladies, Junior High
School students, to the meeting, who in turn presented the Mayor
with a letter of thanks for cooperation of the City in the Halloween
party held for all age groups November i, 1974 at the Helen M.
Knight School.
Mr. Johnson of the Walnut Lane Trailer Court appea,,.d before
the Council to request reconsideration of action taken at the previous
Council meeting in which a request for a continuation of permission
to maintain their sign on City property at First North and Main
Streets was denied. After some discussion, Councilman Hammer made
a motion to reconsider the previous action. The motion died for
lack of a second.
Mike Gorman appeared before the Council requesting a determina-
tion of the effect of the new zoning ordinance on the building of a
carport at his residence on Tusher Street. Reference was made to
the zoning ordinance 02.0954.06-D, which exempts Tusher Street from
the usual zoning clearance between structures. He was told that he
could proceed under the structural regulations as specified in this
section of the ordinance.
A letter from Holiday Haven Mobile Home Park, copies previously
distributed to Councilman, was brought up for discussion. The letter
stated a desire to drill a water well and, if it developed properly,
use it for domestic and other purposes with the City water connec-
tion remaining intact as an automatic supply back-up should the
well source fail or lag behind requirements. Councilman Bonser made
a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried, to permit no
interconnecting of City water with private sources, reference also
being made to Council action on July 16, 1968.
CPA E. J Claus appeared before the Council to kriefly review
the recently completed annual audit.
The revised Utah Gas Service Co. franchise proposal was dis-
cussed. As there were some objections to revisions, Councilman Bon-
ser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried, to
table the proposal until Councilman Bonser and Attorney Ruggeri
could study and correct the problem areas.
It was noted that the forthcoming TV franchise might pose
similar problems.
A proposal to amend the City Traffic Code to bring it up to
date with the 1974 Utah Rules of the Road regulations was tabled
for further study by Attorney Ruggeri on a motion made by Council-
man Jacobs, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried.
It was decided that the Mayor should appear on the Moab Report
program Thursday morning, November 7, 1974.
Councilman Bonser stated that Valdon Teeples had been hired to
fill a vacancy in the Police Department.
97
Councilman Hammer requested that the City pay $30.00 tuition
for Leon Stocks to take a Medical Technicians Course being sponsored
through the Fire District. After brief discussion the Council so
agreed.
Councilman Hammer informed the Council that the new Dodge
Power Wagon purchased for the Fire District was in service and that
a 2,000-gallon tanker truck had also been received for use in rural
water supply for pumper trucks.
Councilman Hammer also stated that the Tom Tom auto repair and
salvage was changing hands and asked for restrictions on licensing
the new operator.
Councilman Hacobs requested some action to stop auto racing on
Main Street during the noon hour. The Mayor invited Councilmen to
be his guests for lunch the next day at the Westerner Grill to ob-
serve the violations. An invitation was to also be extended to
Judge Crist.
The Recorder requested information on how to establish charges
for water connections outside the City when it is necessary to cross
a paved roadway with the service line. Council decided upon a
charge of $5.00 per foot where pavement had to be cut, in addition
to the regular connection fee.
Councilman Jacobs stated that the connection fees were too low
to cover the cost to the City in making new connections. Follc•ing
discussion, Ordinance 4-74 was established as follows: On a motion
made by Councilman Jacobs, seconded by Councilman Bonser and carried,
the Moab City Code, Section 26-40, is hereby amended to read as

W. C. "Curley" Jones and Mr. Louis Farmer appeared before the
Council to protest activities related to the operation of Hank's
Billiards. Mr. Jones stated that the music was too loud, there was
a parking problem and beer cans and other trash littered the area.
As a result, he was losing renters and his property would decrease
in value.
Councilman Hammer joined the meeting.
Mr. Farmer reiterated some of Mr. Jones complaints and added
that since his residence adjoined the parking area the music and
noise kept him awake at nights. The Saturday music sessions had
been extended to also include Friday nights. Emanating from the
parking lot also is foul language plus the noise of children and
babies left in cars. Councilman Bonser was delegated to attempt
corrective measures.
Police Sergeant Rowley appeared before the Council to request
$40.00 for an entrance fee for the Police basketball team in the
Men's Basketball League. On a motion made by Councilman Hamner,
seconded by Councilman Nightingale and carried, the request was
granted.
The renewal franchise for Utah Gas Service Company was brought
up for discussion. The term of the proposed franchise and the
application of a franchise tax were the main points discussed.
After getting the pulse of the Council, Councilman Bonser and
Attorney Ruggeri were directed to frame a revised proposal for
Council approval and submission to the Gas Company.
We11 drilling bids from Cecil Stephenson and Peterson Brothers
were opened. The Stephenson bid was in the amount of $21,540.00,
plus some contingency fees added by the bidder. The Peterson bid
was in the amount of $31,133.00. Councilman Jacobs made a motion,
seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried, that the bids be sub-
mitted to consultants Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangsgard for review
and that the award be made according to their recommendations.
Councilman Bonser reported on an inquiry for time extension on
a non -conforming mobile home location. The owner wishes to occupy
but cannot meet the time limit due to illness. Water has been kept
on and the yard maintained. It was suggested that the owner place
a renter on the property temporarily to maintain the status. Coun-
cilman Bonser was to notify the owner that the Council could not
grant any extension of time.
Councilman Bonser informed the Council that bids were being
sought for a new Police car.
Councilman Hamner stated that Tom Worster, representing the
parent company of Town TV, had visited him and indicated an inten-
tion of immediately increasing monthly rates by 6%. He further
indicated that they would soon be prepared to negotiate a franchise
renewal. When questioned about the quality of service, he placed
the burden of failure on the micro -wave transmission 4ystem. Most
of the other Councilmen indicated that they had each had a similar
visit.
Councilman Peterson stated that the Chamber of Commerce had
been discussing a parental responsibility law and that the State
Attorney General was preparing a draft related to shop lifting
penalties. Councilman Jacobs stated that through the Southeastern
Utah Association of Governments a more comprehensive regulation woul
be sought in the Legislature to cover vandalism and acts of a moral
nature.
Councilman Peterson urged for enforcement action on the recentl.
enacted clean-up ordinance.
Delbert Oliver, member of the Shade Tree Commission, having
moved outside the City limits, had offered to relinquish his positio

interrupted by a Councilman's absence and a substitution or trade-
off made, the regular schedule will. be immediately resumed.
Mayor McDougald appointed Councilmen Hammer and Peterson to
represent the City on the Grand County Housing Authority to ad-
minister low-cost housing funds. It is the intention of the
Council that home improvements made in the City through this
program be done under the regular building permit and inspection
schedule to assure that the work conforms to the building code.
Since this is an indigent program, the usual fees may be abated.
It was decided that the City should hold a Christmas party
for City employees. It will provide an opportunity for employees
and Councilmen to become better acquainted. Councilmen will pay
their own way for the party. The Mayor, Recorder and office
staff will make arrangements for the party.
The Mayor brought up a problem of cattle running loose in
the vicinity of the Golf Course and Old City Park properties.
Some damage has been done and more is anticipated. The need for
fencing repairs and extensions was discussed. County assistance
is anticipated where the moving of drifting sand and the instal-
lation of road cattle guards may be required. Councilman Night-
ingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried,
to proceed with a fencing project.
A discussion was held concerning residence requirements for
City employees. Elected officials must be qualified voters in the
area from which elected. Public safety and emergency employees
subject to call may also be restricted as to residence. The
Council did not wish to extend the limitations which are well
determined by State law and court decisions.
Following a brief discussion concerning the intended Decem-
ber 1, 1974 wage increase for full-time non -supervisory employees,
excluding the Police Departments, Councilman Hammer made a motion,
seconded by Councilman Nightingale and carried, to set the in-
crease at 6%.
The Recorder informed the Council of a letter from Moab
Irrigation Co. denying any responsibility relating to partici-
pation in the expense of repair to the culvert in the Five C's
driveway.
The Council was also informed of a request to the Planning
Commission, fee paid, for consideration on rezoning the location
of the old L.D.S. Church and First East and First North Streets.

Council.
Mayor McDougald urged all members of the Council to be in
attendance at the hearing on the Mill Creek Dam pronosal being
held at 10:00 A.M. on November 22, 1974.
The Recorder reviewed expenditures made from Revenue Sharing
funds for purchases by the Fire District. Equipment for the
Chief's pick-up was puichased by the District on a quotation and
negotiated basis. Billings have been included with other obliga-
tions receiving Council approval for payment.
The Council agreed to abate a building permit fee for the
Lutheran Church.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Hamner and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
Councilman Jacobs raised the question of requiring pre -employment

The regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to
order in the Council Chambers by Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald at 7:35
P.M. on the above date.
In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs, Nightingale, Hammer (late
Bonser and Peterson, Attorney Ruggeri and Recorder Unger.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser
and carried, to adopt the minutes of the November 19, 1974 meeting
as submitted.
Mr. James Wiseman appeared before the Council reporting on a
meeting he had attended and some suggestions he wished to make as a
result of the meeting. The meeting had been sponsored by a Julie
Walton and was directed at the formation of a local S.P.C.A. in
reference to the humane treatment of impounded dogs. Mr. Wiseman
suggested the need for an S.P.C. Humans. In his continents to the
Council Mr. Wiseman was more concerned with the care and regulation
of dogs prior to impoundment. One suggestion was to increase
licensing fees on all dogs, particularly unspayed females which he
thought might be boosted as much as 300%. Councilman Hammer joined
the meeting. In a general discussion, Mr. W. D. McArthur, a citizen -
newsman in attendance, stated that in the Los Angeles area citizens
or enforcement people took pictures of loose dogs messing up yards.
The pictures were admissible in court where the maximum fi.ie to owner
was $500.00. A few arrests and convictions had a marked effect on
animal owner control. Councilman Jacobs reiterated his support for
a City -owned and operated pound and disposal facility at the sewer
plant. Mr. Connie Caouette said that he at one time had headed a
humane society here and that suitable impounding facilities were
lacking, but acceptable disposal facilities were also very expensive.
He also felt that much of the animal control was a "people" problem.
Mr. Wiseman stated that he thought volunteers would be available to
assist in picking up loose animals. Mr. McArthur added his knowledge
of another location in which they actually made an annual door-to-
door census of dogs which resulted in increased licensing and improv
owner control. Councilman Bonser was given the responsibility of
studying and evaluating the suggestions in reference to future con-
sideration by the Council.
Mr. Caouette invited and urged the attendance of eac` C:_ncil-
man at a meeting on the National Movement for the Humanities schedul
in the Court Room, Wednesday, December 11, 1974, at 8:00 P.M. The
Recorder was instructed to have the Councilmen reminded before the
meeting.
Councilman Bonser reviewed the Utah Gas Service Company fran-
chise as revised and stated that rewording would again be done to
eliminate the property tax exemption and set up the franchise fee as
a rental for the use of property. Also, the line extension require-
ment would be changed from $500.00 to four times annual revenue
anticipated. Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by
Councilman Hammer and carried, that the draft be made incorporating
the above changes and submitted to the Company in lieu of the
proposal submitted by the Company.
Councilman Bonser reported on the Police car bidding. While no
response was evidenced to the newspaper ad for bids, the specifica-
tions were mailed to four automobile dealers. Only one bid was
received. It was from Peterson Ford in Moab. The amount of $4,440.1
The vehicle price is firm, but delivery charges may vary the total
amount. Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Hammer and carried to accept the bid and place an order for the
vehicle as specified.

Only one response was received. It was from Harold Jacobs' Husky
Service for a unit at $700.00. Councilman Hammer made a motion,
seconded by Councilman Peterson and carried, to purchase this pickup.
Councilman Bonser indicated a desire to begin studying franchise
renewal proposals for Town TV. The Recorder was directed to make
inquiry to the FCC concerning possible model franchise ordinances
for TV.
Councilman Hammer introduced a discussion concerning the contin-
uation of business and residential break-ins. The recently initiated
privately -operated merchants patrol has been well received by two
Councilmen who have subscribed to the service for their businesses.
The effectiveness of the patrol is yet to be measured. Various
means of assisting and improving regular policing toward reducing
break-in activity were suggested. It was decided to hold a meeting
during the next week with the Councilmen and City Police Officers
only and limited specifically to the break-in problem.
Councilman Jacobs brought the Council up to date on the recent
series of water main breaks and the dedicated efforts of City crews.
He also advised concerning the rebuilding of the Elgin street
sweeper.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Hammer and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
Councilman Peterson stated that he had contacted the Interact
Club and felt that favorable response would be received in reference
to their participation in lot and yard cleanup as a fund raising
project.
Councilman Jacobs indicated a desire to prohibit parking on
Fourth North Street between Main and First West due to narrowness
and curves.
Councilman Bonser had investigated the noise complaints against
Hank's Billiards and reported that the owners were cooperative
toward controlling noise and cleaning up debris, although parking
could be a problem. The owners had secured a petition signed by
most of the neighborhood, other than the two complainants, to the
effect that they were not bothered by loud music.
The Recorder requested a policy concerning sick pay for employees.
Councilmen recommended paying a particular employee through December
15, pending further policy study.
The Council was informed about a question and answer meeting
scheduled at 11:30 A.M., December 5, 1974, at the SUCCE office on
the subject of flood insurance.
The Council was advised that Nielsen, Maxwpii ° Wangsgard had
selected Cecil Stephenson as the successful bidder for drilling We11

Courtney Brewer, Land Use Planning Consultant for the South-
eastern Utah Association of Governments made a brief presentation
concerning implementing Plan H208, under the Wastewater Control
Management Program, which is a proposal to hire a water quality
specialist to make a two year study in reference to steps required
to assure Class "C" water quality standards in the Colorado River by
1983. Funding for the study would be covered 100% by EPA if accepte.
prior to July 1, 1975 or 75% thereafter. Mr. Brewer indicated that
at this time the project appeared to be a lost cause as it had been
rejected by both the San Juan and Grand County Commissions. He
stated that lack of participation might have an effect on the City
of Moab in reference to Federal Aid for future construction grants.
He also stated that he was to meet with the EPA and attempt to deter-
mine other approaches to the situation. The City Council withheld
action and agreed to remain open for future consideration.

Fire Chief, Troy Black, appeared before the Council as spokes- Hank's Billiards
man for Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Jones and Mr. Louis C. Farmer in reference
to alleged neighborhood problems resulting from the operation of
Hank's Billiards. The Chief's primary concern was parking congestio
in the area that could pose problems for fire protection. Councilm.
Nightingale joined the meeting. The other citizens then reitterated
complaints that had been made at a previous Council meeting. Council
man Hammer made a motion to refuse renewal of Hank's cabaret license
after its December 31, 1974 expiration. Following some discussion,
the motion was withdrawn. Attorney Ruggeri recommended a joint meet
ing with all involved and interested parties to try to solve the
problem. Councilman Hammer made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Jacobs and carried, directing the Recorder to set up a special meet-
ing as soon as possible and to notify the known interested parties by
letter and by telephone.
In reference to the television franchise, some citizens from V franchise
Spanish Valley had apparently met with the County Commission seeking itizens present
improved service. The following Moab citizens appeared before the
City Council in support of their county neighbors and with some
additional requests regarding the service in the city. Susan Leath
683 Mountain View Dr.; Betty Mower, 436 Mountain View Dr., Lirida
Larsen, 461 Marcus Ct., Sylvia Barney, 421 Marcus Ct , Francis Jones,
178 West Center St.; Sheila Maxfield, 28 Apache Circle; Dahl and
Laverna Zohner, 62 East First North; and Woody Quilter, 262 Aspen.
Evidently, the Spanish Valley complaints related to the qualit V franchise
of reception. Within the City, objections were made to rate increas- itizen complaints
without a public hearing, a situation over which the City has no con
trol under the existing franchise. Also desired by th^ ''izenry is
cable serviceman availability during viewing hours and the aforemen-
tioned quality of reception. In reference to franchise renewal,
they asked for more stringent regulation by the City plus an oppor-
tunity to be informed and to make a choice between the alternate of
micro -wave and cable such as translators and antenna pick-up. A
letter from KSL TV was introduced in which was noted the number of
translators this station now has in service and a recommended expert
in the translator field. KSL does not wish to become engaged in a
controversy covering the systems or in opposition to the cable enter
prise business. Councilman Hammer made a motion, seconded by Council
man Bonser and carried, to secure information plus any available
engineering consultants and set up a well publicized public hearing
at the earliest possible date.
Councilman Bonser reported on meetings with people concerned
with the dog problem. They had suggested numerous changes in the
Animal Control Ordinance. Some suggestions were: licensing fees of
$5.00 for males, $5.00 for desexed dogs, $20.00 for females, $10.00
for redemption of impounded dogs, requiring desexing of females befo
redemption, setting minimum fine for leash law violation at $50.00,
much more use of ticket citations for owners of animals running at
large, and an annual door to door dog census, with volunteer help,
if necessary. They were in agreement that it is difficult, or next
imal control

St. ion of parking on 4th North Street between Main Street and 1st West
treet.
City insurance Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
premium ammer and carried, to pay the final, although disputed, premium on
the City's insurance covering the policy period from January 2, 1971,
to January 2, 1974.

A special meeting of the Moab City Co"."--' was called to order
in the Council Chambers by Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald at 7 30 P.M. on
the above date.
In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs, Nightingale, Bonser and
Peterson (late), and Recorder Unger. Councilman Hammer was absent
but had submitted a letter of apology.
This special meeting was called for the purpose of providing a
face-to-face confrontation between complaintants and the operators of
Hank's Billiards in reference to alleged problems relating to the
business operation. Those who had previously made complaints and the
operators were notified of the meeting both by mail and by telephone.
All were present, plus Howard Nickel, Mr. and Mrs. Gary Adam, and Betty
Jacobs.
Very little was offered on either side of the question that had
not been previously presented.
The operators agreed to attempt tighter control over customers,
and the City indicated closer policing would be available during
periods when problems might arise causing complaints.

In attendance were Councilmen Nightingale, Jacobs, Hammer,
Bonser and Peterson (late), Attorney Ruggeri (late), Engineer Keogh,
and Recorder Unger. Also attending were Chief of Police, Dalton;
Street and Water Superintendent, Day; and Building Inspector, Shaffer
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer
and carried,to adopt the minutes of the regular meeting held Decem-
ber 17, 1974, and the special meeting held December 20, 1974, as sub-
mitted.
This meeting was advertised as a public hearing for a reques
zoning change.
A brief discussion was held concerning the rezoning request
covering the old L.D.S. Church. Attending in support of the request
were Robert Dalton, Marvin Clever, and Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Byrd.
There were no objections submitted.
Councilman Hammer made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser,
and carried to rezone from R-3 to C-5 one piece of property on the
northeast corner of 1st North and 1st East Streets, known as the old
L.D.S. Church nroperty, as recommended by the Pii.."'..g Commission.
Legal description of the property is as follows: Beginning at the SW
corner lot 2, block 23, thence N 100', thence E 145', thence S 100',
thence W 145' to point of beginning in Sec. 1, T26S, R21E, SLB & M.
Councilman Bonser reported on his study of the law enforce-
ment radio dispatching system and submitted proposals and costs for
various methods of handling the situation. Chief Dalton stated that
there had been a marked improvement in the dispatch recently; which,
if continued, would be livable. The opinion was expressed that any
action toward change at this time could cloud the issue of City -
County consolidation, which is still under study. Councilman Night-
ingale stated that he believed the pulse of the Council favored hold-
ing any immediate action in abeyance. Councilman Bonser said his
preference of all alternatives would be an independent central dis-
patching office to serve all law enforcement agencies and essential
utilities. No further action is anticipated until the initiation of
City budget studies about May 1, 1975. The Council neither favored
nor objected to a proposal for the County to tape record all calls.
The City would so advise the County by letter.
Councilman Bonser reported on the study concerning possible
changes in the Animal Control Ordinance in reference to dogs. Sug-
gested was making license fees $5.00 for male or spayed female and

was recommended that a camera be supplied to the Animal Control Officer
along with a new supply of revised violation tickets. A form was sub-
mitted to be printed for use by volunteers in making a door-to-door
dog census.
Councilman Peterson and Attorney Ruggeri joined the meeting.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer

About two dozen citizens appeared to continue complaints about
television service. They bore a supporting petition, purportedly
carrying 600 names, requesting more control over the existing service
and publicity for all information pertaining to TV. Mrs. Leatham and
Mrs. Barney were again the primary spokesmen. Very little was offered
that was new over the previous presentation. Much emphasis was placed
on translator and antenna transmission on a tax supported basis as
opposed to micro -wave and cable serving paying subscribers. The Mayor
announced a meeting to be held at 2 P.M. on January 13, 1975, jointly
between the City Council, County Commission and some available TV
technicians. He was emphatic in stating that while the meeting was
open to the public it was not a public hearing. The primary purpose
was to gather technical information. Those who felt that the public
was being denied information were invited to audit the meeting.
Kay Hawks appeared before the Council making a request for a
residential water connection outside the City limits and above the
permissible pressure zone. His request was taken under advisement
for study.
Mrs. Johnnie "Virginia" Johnson appeared for Walnut Lane
Trailer Court asking the Council to reconsider their previous action
in denying a request to continue maintaining an advertising sign on
City property on the northwest corner of Main and 1st North streets.
Councilman Hammer made a motion to reconsider the motion of October 15,
1974, as then voted, seconded by Councilman Jacobs, and carried.
Councilman Bonser abstained. Councilmen Peterson and Nightingale
voted nay. Mayor McDougald cast the tie -breaking vote. The Octo-
ber 15, 1974, motion as stated was to deny the request of Walnut
Lane Trailer Court to continue maintaining the aforementioned sign.
The motion was defeated by the vote as reconsidered. Councilman
Bonser abstained. Councilmen Jacobs and Hamner voted nay. Mayor
McDougald again cast the tie -breaking vote, thus granting permission
for restoration of the sign. A letter of permission „w., to be pre-
pared for the Johnsons to submit to the State Highway Department
with their application for a sign license.
Dixie Barker of radio station KURA appeared before the Council
to express her opinion that legal advertising relating to public
notices published in newspapers should also be advertised by radio.
Councilman Bonser introduced a report on police activity for
the year 1974. Chief Dalton called attention to a recent costly
rate of vandalism. It was his belief that this was in the form of
retaliation for alcohol related teenage arrests.
Councilman Hammer recommended that flowers and a get -well
card be sent to County Commissioner Newell from the City.
Councilman Jacobs announced that he was planning to attend a
hearing in Salt Lake City on January 9, 1975, as an update on waste
disposal.
Councilman Nightingale stated that when Claus and Auger were
properly set up with their new computer system he hoped to have more
detailed accounting for water and sewer.
107
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer
and carried, to pay the bills as presented.
Councilman Peterson requested a progress report on the committee
study for a convention center. The committee made up of a Councilman,
County Commissioner, and the School Superintendent was not particularly
active, according to Councilman Bonser. He stated they had met with
the Bi-Centennial Committee, but the latter felt that timing and their
funding would preclude participation in such a venture. Mayor McDouga
appointed Councilman Peterson to represent the Council on the Bi-Cente
nial Committee.
The Mayor reminded the Councilmen concerning the joint meeting
on January 13, concerning possible TV translator testing.
The Mayor announced that everything was in order and that the
drilling of water well M9 would soon begin.
The Mayor read a telegram notifying him that the first Supreme
Court hearing about Fair Labor Standards that was of considerable con-
cern to many cities resulted in a ruling favorable to the case sup-
ported by cities. He also stated that the City of Moab was financially
indebted to the Utah League of Cities and Towns for a share of the cost
of the case.
The latest information from Courtney Brewer of the SEUAG about
the proposed Colorado River pollution study was that if +he counties
did not consent to the Federal study by January 23, 1975, the EPA fund-
ing for the project would be completely lost.
In addition, the Federal Government would insist upon the State
making the survey, and the cost would necessarily be borne by State and
local agencies. While City support for the program was sought, the
City could not act in discord with the County.
A discussion was held concerning the request of Pete Byrd for
some City gravel at the west end of Westwood Drive. It was decided
that if Mr. Byrd would grade the west end of Palisade Drive, in the
same manner he had done Westwood, the City would then gravel both
locations as an impartial move.
Mr. Byrd's request to the Recorder for a concession on sewer
sludge was denied. The Council agreed to hold the price as originally
established.
Engineer Keogh reminded the Council that the Mill Creek channel
within the City limits would soon be due for cleaning to reduce trash
pile-ups in restricted areas with possible resultant flooding during
high water.
By mutual assent, the meeting was adjourned at 11:40 P.M.

The meeting was called for the purpose of meeting with avail-

alternate TV systems.
Mr. Glen Baxter, an electronic engineer was present. He has
had much experience with the TV system in Green River. Mr. Baxter
presented a written break -down and resume as far as the translation
costs and equipment required to bring the signal into Moab Valley.
Cost estimates for installation of a translator system, as
presented by Mr. Glen Baxter, are as follows: Power, $5-8,000;
blockhouse, $1-2,000; antenna system, $200 per channel; TV trans-
lators, $2-3,000 per channel, FM translators, $2,000 per station;
engineering (including site selection, system design and installa-
tion, signal strength surveys, etc.) $2-4,000.
Operating costs were estimated at $20 per month for fuel and
approximately $50 per month per channel for routine service and
maintenance. Barring any natural catastrophy, Mr. Baxter estimated
the system life should be at least 15 years, probably indefinite
life.
He estimated the cost to the individual homeowner would be
limited to the purchase and installation of home receiving antennas
and should not exceed $20-30.
He projected one summer season would be required to locate
the best site for locating the translator, to order earipment and
to test the system.
Mr. Baxter stated that the signal coming from the Horn
Mountain translator is of excellent quality. The Horn Mountain
translator receives its signal directly from Salt Lake City
stations and rebroadcasts the signal on the UHF TV band. He stated
that the quality and reliability of the Horn Mountain signal has
been excellent for the past several years. Mt. Horn is the TV
source for the San Juan County translator on Abajo Peak.
Mr. Baxter was challenged about the poor reception in Green
River. He stated that it was primarily because of old equipment,
over half of which was over ten years old.
Mr. Milton Davis, a TV translator expert from the University
of Utah, was also present. Mr. Davis stated that there are about
400 to 500 translators in Utah at the present time. Mr. Davis said
he had serviced a large number of these translators and that most
of them are working very well.
Mr. Davis concurred with Mr. Baxter on most aspects in regard
to the feasibility of using a translator TV system in the Moab valley
but did not believe the cost of installing such a system would be as
great as the estimates presented by Mr. Baxter. He believed the
system could be implemented several thousand dollars less than the
estimated $35-38,000.
Mayor McDougald inquired of Mr. Davis if there is assurance
that you would receiWe the same strength signal by translator that
you will by micro -wave. Mr. Davis stated that the only thing which
will lessen the quality of the signal is the deterioration of equip-
ment through age.
Mr. Baxter stated that he thought the discussion should be
limited to the technical aspects first and then to aspects of finance,
as the cost would vary greatly depending upon the site selected. He
stated that more and more systems are using other than commercial
power to operate them, such as propane fuel or solar cells, with
emphasis placed on recent success with solar cells.
Councilman Bonser asked if it were possible to put translator
TV over existing cable and was advised by Mr. Davis that they are
doing it in Vernal. He further stated that the cable we now have
here is translated television.
Mr. Davis stated that the translator system parts are much less
expensive to replace and are readily available within one day by air,
whereas with micro -wave parts it sometimes takes four to six weeks to
get them.
109
Mr. Davis stated that Mr Bill Justeson, who has had much experi-
ence with translator TV in Orangeville, Utah, had indicated that he
would be willing to come to Moab in the near future to test the signal
in the Moab area if the people of Moab expressed a desire for him to do
so. Mr. Davis also expressed a willingness to assist in this test. He
stated that a field strength meter could be brought to test the signal
and also, if desired, a battery -powered portable TV could be brought to
observe the quality of picture.
Both Councilmen Bonser and Hammer expressed a desire to go with
Mr. Davis and Mr. Justeson and felt this would be the most appropriate
next step.
It was decided that the west mountain would be the most feasible
place to begin testing and that Poison Spider might be the best location
to start.
It was decided to meet at the Grand County Courthouse at 10 A.M.
on Saturday, January 18. In addition to the Councilmen, Mr. Baxter, a
representative from AT&T and a representative from one of the electrical
repair services and other interested individuals were also invited to
observe the measurements.

Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer
and carried, to adopt the minutes of the regular meeting held January 7
1975 and the minutes of the special meeting held January 13, 1975, as
submitted.
Councilman Jacobs spoke of his interest in proposed amendments
to the dog ordinance. He suggested a review by a committee of Council-
men, interested citizens and law enforcement personnel to recommend
final action. He was in favor of desexing but feared that the proposed
fees would not achieve the desired end. He also favored an immediate
survey or census of dogs. Councilman Bonser outlined the proposed fee
schedule, enforcement by use of violation tickets where applicable,
and the volunteer citizen survey. The necessary printed forms were
available. Councilman Jacobs said the survey should be well publicized
and supervised by law enforcement personnel. Councilman Bonser stated
that the fees could be established at this meeting, with the basic fee
being for a desexed animal. Councilman Jacobs wanted citizen involve-
ment in establishing fees. Mayor McDougald appointed Councilman Bonser

survey. They were to be called for a meeting at 7:30 P.M. on Thursday,
January 23, 1975.
A discussion was initiated revising the Holiday Haven water well
proposal. Mayor McDougald stated that he did not think the State Health
Department would permit an interconnection with the City water system.
The tenor of the Council as a whole appeared to be in opposition to such
an interconnection. It was stated that the State Health Department
recommends a local ordinance of prohibition. Councilman Hammer made a
motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser and carried, for Attorney Ruggeri
to research existing City ordinances and, if necessary, to draft an
ordinance amendment prohibiting City and private water supply cross -
connections and in due time to serve notice on Holiday Haven of the
prohibiting ordinance.
Engineer Keogh reported that Stephenson Drilling had reached a
depth of 110 feet in water well No. 9, had encountered water at 46
feet, which rises to 32 feet when undisturbed overnight. Drilling
was temporarily interrupted due to an employee injury.
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Nightingale and carried, to issue beer and cabaret licenses to the
Hitching Post (formerly Hank's Billiards) when final police clearance
is received. Due to the calendar timing of the application, the
Mayor recommended that since the new license would cover the full
year, upon payment of the fee, the former owner's license obligation
be excused and the two owners make an adjustment between themselves.
However, Hank's arrearage on pool table licensing shall be collected
by the City.
Councilman Bonser explained the gas franchise which had been
negotiated with Utah Gas Service Co. The Company was seeking a 50-
year franchise, and the City had been reticent to exceed a 20-year
term. A compromise was reached on 33 years. It had also been
determined that a franchise fee, based on business volume, cannot be
legally absorbed by the Company for inclusion in rates but must be
shown as an item on customer billing. In the Company's tarrif
policy filed with the Public Service Commission, line extensions
will be made by the Company at no cost to the customer if the cost
does not exceed two times annual revenue from the extension. The
present policy, confirmed by letter to the City, allows extensions
not exceeding four times annual revenue. It is the intent of the
Company to file this change with the Commission; however, it is
subject to periodic change dependent upon economic conditions.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser
and carried, to adopt Ordinance 1-75, which is the gas franchise
agreement.
Jacobs retires Councilman Jacobs retired from the meeting to return to the
from meeting hospital, where he is under treatment.
Gas franchise Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer
and carried, to extend the existing Utah Gas Service Co. franchise
on a day-to-day basis until the newly-adup. franchise becufles
legally effective.
Judge and Police The Council was informed concerning an increase in rates for
retirement fees Judges' retirement. Due to the salary agreement made with Judge
Crist for fiscal 1975, the Council took the policy that the City
would not absorb any additional retirement fee during the period,
as the City is already carrying more than the required proportional
amount. An increase in the police retirement for both employer
and employee will be handled as prescribed by regulations.
Ordinance 3-74 Councilman Peterson was adamant in his request for some
action toward enforcement of Ordinance 3-74. Chief Dalton was
present at the time and assured the Councilman that the necessary
related pictures would be forthcoming.
Translator TV Councilman Bonser reported on the translator TV testing,
signal testing which he had witnessed in part on the previous weekend. Apparently,
there was no signal available on Poison Spider Mesa. A site off
Blue Hill produced what was called an acceptable signal, and on
Wilson Mesa an excellent signal was received from Orangeville with
good color on the three Salt Lake City commercial channels. Two
translator locations would be required to cover Spanish Valley and
the City of Moab. The position of the Council was that the City
111
would not engage in any tax supported TV transmission under present con-
ditions. Councilman Bonser is continuing his work of preparing a renew-
al franchise with the existing cable company.
Lynn Day raised the subject of dozer work that he is contracting Dump contract
on the dump. He stated that as long as his equipment held together he
could continue this work, but with the increase in fuel and supply costs
more pay would be required for a continuation. Councilman Hammer made a
motion, seconded by Councilman Peterson and carried, to increase the
contract from $175.00 per month to $200.00 per month, retroactive to
November, 1974, which was the termination date of the previous agreemen
with no specified termination date on the new rate.
Councilmen Hammer and Peterson discussed a report of the Grand Grand County
bounty Housing Authority, which is administering City funds relating to Housing Authority
Abusing improvement for indigent owners. The programs available were
explained.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Bonser and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.

Moab, through its Mayor, direct communications opposi-
tion to the proposed relocation to Paul Howard, State
Director of BLM, Governor Rampton, and to each member of
the Utah congressional delegation.

ingly high level other forms of crime had been at a comparatively low
level during the past couple of months.

renewal for Town TV. Tom Worster, representing the company, partici-
pated in the discussion. Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded
by Councilman Hammer and carried, to continue the existing franchise on

ed and anticipated under the recently enacted zoning ordinance. No

cation to the Planning Commission for recommendation to the Council for
or against ordinance amendment.

Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser
and carried, to adopt the minutes of the February 18, 1975 meeting as sub
mitted.
Fran Barnes appeared before the Council and briefly discussed some
realignment in the Bi-Centennial Committee. He stated that there were
problems relating to the pursuit of one of the major projects being con-
sidered. An alternate proposal was the development of the park area
along Mill Creek at the site of the former Mulberry Lane Trailer Court.
This would require an expression of interest from the City. The Council
indicated an interest to consider thin pursuit, and Councilman Hammer was
designated to work with Mr. Barnes for further study.
A sizable group representing Community Action Program was present.
Mayor McDougald acknowledged them and stated that CAP was considered to
be a nonessential agency by virtue of duplicating services of other
agencies already in the community. This reaction had been communicated
by the City to the County Commission and was to be passed on to the
Southeastern Utah Association of Governments.
Roberta Anderson, local CAP Director, stated that she had received
no word concerning any problems and requested an opportunity to present a
f..-1 formal program covering CAP activities.
Question: Does the Headstart Program operate under CAP activities'?
Answer: Yes, but under the regional office in Price, not the
local office.
Roberta Anderson stated that CAP helps people in filling out
assistance requests and has provided aid for housing.
Dr. Shanteau said that CAP may duplicate services but is helpful.

Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Jacobs and carried, to table the problem until the meeting of April 1,
1975 with CAP providing in the interim documented data covering
activities in which it had been engaged and returning on the specified
date for discussion of the information presented.
Stacey Lawrence, representing the Alcohol and Drug Advisory

its board. It was agreed that Councilman Peterson would act in this
capacity with the citizen board of fifteen members. Only three of
the fifteen -member board were named: Reverend Sanford Hampton,
Janice Bonser and Dixie Barker.
Mayor McDougald stated his desire to appoint James A.Wiseman
to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The appointment was confirmed on
a motion made by Councilman Bonser, seconded by Cnmcilman Hammer and

Mr. Wiseman appeared before the Council to announce that he had
received insufficient support toward executing a dog census and felt
that the issue should be dropped. Councilman Bonser concurred and
stated that the issuing of citations for leash violations was to be
started immediately.
Councilman Bonser confirmed the agreement to hold a special
Council meeting on March 17 as a public hearing in relation to the
adoption of an ordinance covering the cable television franchise.
Councilman Hammer stated that the open drainage from Miller's
Supermarket cooling and refrigeration had been cleaned and that
the owners were considering elimination of the drainage by installing
a cooling tower.
He had recently spent some time in Green River. While there
he observed some television, which is received by translator, and com-
mented that it was terrible.
He called attention to a recent ruling by the Zoning Board of
Adjustment and stated that the Board was adhering rigidly to the pro-
visions of the ordinance.
Councilman Hammer's last bit of business was that the Silver
Dollar was dissatisfied with the cabaret license refusal and the
enforcement of closing regulations. The owner wished an audience
before the Council, and the Councilman wanted him to be called and
advised that there would be time for him to appear at this meeting.
The call was made.
#9 well l Councilman Jacobs asked about the status of well #9. Engineer
Keogh said that the gravel pack was in and the well was ready for
surging, but the indicated recovery was disappointingly low.
John Pauley, operator of the Silver Dollar, entered the meeting.
His business was mainly concerned with policing activity. He com-
plained about customers being picked up by the police after leaving
his place of business and about their insistence that the place bP
evacuated and closed by 2 A.M. He wants cleanup time after closing.
While still desiring a cabaret license, this was of secondary impor-
tance for the present. The Mayor assured him that his complaints
would be answerable at the next Council meeting.

table further consideration by the Council until the next regular Council
meeting.
Councilman Jacobs asked for an updating on the M9 well. Engineer
Keogh stated that an attempt had been made to complete the well at a
lesser depth than originally projected. Testing indicated low gallonage,
so drilling was resumed, with the actual depth to be determined by avail-
able water, hopefully in an increased quantity.
Dan Holyoak and G.U. Foote appeared before the Council to again

Councilman Hammer discussed his study of FCC regulations, the
aintenance and monitoring program of Town TV and his accord with the
franchise conditions covering these items.
Having just departed from a Recreation Board meeting, Council -
an Hammer informed the Council that Kenny Yama was the choice of the
:oard to fill the vacant director's post. No public announcement had
,et been made as Mr. Yama had not been informed or accepted the appoiht-
ent.
Councilman Hammer outlined the agreement and TCD guarantee of
good faith which had been posted by Allen Berna to start construction
of an extension of Mountain View Subdivision.
Following a discussion of the periodic recurrence of requests
to use non -City -owned water sources in direct connection with the
City water distribution system, Councilman Bonser made a motion,
seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried, to amend a motion passed
at the November 6, 1974 meeting (page 96, official minutes) from
"to permit no interconnecting of City water with private sources" to
"to permit no interconnecting into the City system of water from any
source not produced or purchased by the City."
Councilman Jacobs asked for the reaction of the Council toward
selling the street washer, if an opportunity was presented, and
securing a replacement more suited to Moab conditions. The Council
as in accord with the request of Councilman Jacobs and recommended
price of $35,000.00 for the unit owned by the City.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
eterson and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
Mayor McDougald stated that in reference to the Mill Creek Dam
tudy the Water Conservancy District needed some projected commit-
ments for future water requirements. Based on a 20-year projection,
/t was decided the City should request a reserve of 2,500 acre feet.
111 A general discussion was held concerning future study and the
eeting with the Community Action Program.
adopt-i Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser
nd carried to adopt the following resolution:
"Resolved, that First Security Bank of Utah, Moab
Office and the First Western National Bank, Moab Office
be designated as depositories of the Moab City Corpora-
tion and that funds of this Corporation deposited in said
banks be subject to withdrawal upon checks, notes, drafts,
bills of exchange, acceptances, undertakings of other
orders for the payment of money when sigr.cc' : behalf of
this Corporation by City Recorder or Deputy Recorder and
the City Treasurer or Deputy Treasurer."
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Peterson
nd carried, to increase the retainer of Engineer John Keogh to $300.00
er month, effective April 1, 1975.
In reference to a request from Kay Hawks for a water connection
in Spanish Valley, which had been under study, the Council determined
that no new taps would be cut into the 16" main where pumping is
required for delivery. If the flow at the existing Allred tap can be
improved, Mr. Hawks will be permitted to take delivery at that point
and run his own line (estimated 500 feet) to point of usage.
Councilman Hammer discussed the fire hydrant situation and stated
that the Fire Department would actively participate in inspections and
testing.

Mayor McDougald acknowledged receipt by himself and each Council-
man of the CAP packet and stated that it was being taken under advise-
ment.
The Mayor introduced Nita Graves, Community Services Administra-
tion (formerly OE0), Denver. This is the financing agency for CAP. Ms.
Graves stated that she was just visiting and observing.
David W. Allen submitted Plat "E" and amended portions of Plats
"A", "C" and "C-1", Mountain View Subdivision extension. This had been
approved by the Planning Commission, City Engineer and City Attorney as
being ready for adoption. Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded
by Councilman Hammer and carried, to accept the plats as submitted.
Fred Schmidt, Roy Ricks and Delbert Oliver appeared before the
Council in reference to Canyon View Estates Subdivision and Emerald Sub-
division, in which remain unimproved lots, which under the new zoning
ordinance are nonconforming. The complaint is inability to get specific
information from the City offices on how permission can be obtained to
use the properties. After some discussion, Councilman Hammer was assign-
ed the task of clearing up procedures to be followed in these and future
cases.
When the meeting was opened to other citizens, Robc-t- 4nderson
announced that she had some additional written information to present in
behalf of CAP. She also asked for financial assistance, approximating
$100.00, to defray the cost of preparing the packet that had been pre-
sentee to the Councilmen. She stated that she was prepared to answer
any questions that might concern the contents of the packet. Councilman
Bonser stated that he had reviewed the packet but wished to discuss the
contents with other people involved. Ms. Anderson said she would like
an opportunity to discuss the packet individually with each Councilman.
Councilman Jacobs stated that he had no questions and needed no explana-
tions. Mervin Lawton said that if the City could not defray the packet
expense he would contribute to that end. Dr. Richard Shanteau commented
that CAP supplemented rather than duplicating other agencies. It had
done well in defending itself, and further discussion seemed unnecessary.
Discussion and some bickering continued. Councilman Peterson courteously
and firmly announced that the City Council was not a rubber stamp body
and that when a decision was rendered it would reflect the individual
thinking of the Council members.
Councilman Bonser stated that the changes, previously discussed,
had been made in the proposed TV ordinance (franchise) and that it was
ready for adoption. Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by
Councilman Hammer and carried, to adopt this Ordinance, 3-75, to be pub-
lished and to become effective in 30 days.

In 1963, the Council had adopted a City personnel policy, which
was not kept active. A copy of this policy, minus the wage provisions,
was submitted to the Councilmen on March 20, 1975 for reconsideration.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Peterson and
carried, to readopt the policy as submitted, to become effective
immediately and to be prepared in suitable form for distribution to
all present employees and new full-time employees when hired.
Councilman Bonser announced that Police Patrolman Duncan had
resigned and planned to locate elsewhere for other employment. His
replacement, Lynn Izatt, comes from Logan. He served three years in
the Sheriff's Department in Cache County and has received the school
training required for Moab officers.
Due to plans for being out of town on his scheduled Moab Report
day, Councilman Nightingale requested a change of dates. Councilman
Bonser offered to trade dates.
Councilman Bonser also stated that the first dog violation
citation had been written by the Animal Control Officer.
Councilman Hammer noted that Mrs. Fratto had complained to him
about smoke from the dump leaving an odor in clothes drying on an out-
door line.
Councilman Jacobs deferred to Engineer Keogh for a report on
drilling #9 well. The depth reported was at 425 feet with drilling
continuing toward 450 feet. A slight increase in water production was
indicated. Below the 230 foot depth, the rate for drilling was under-
stood to be $20.00 per foot.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Hammer and carried, to reimburse CAP for the cost of preparing their
operating packet.
Councilman Nightingale commented briefly on the fact that Claus
& Auger had caught up-to-date and provided the Councilmen with a budget-
ing statement. He was also pleased to note that in total the budget was
well in balance for this time of year.
Councilman Peterson stated that through the State Division of
Forestry some seedling trees were available. He wished to make an
expenditure of $20.00 for trees, about $30.00 for flowers to be set
in tree bases and $24.77 for fertilizer for the flowers.
Councilman Jacobs noted that the Visitor Center was in need of
cleanup, the (rest rooms) in particular. Councilman Hammer said he
would make arrangements to have this work done.
The Mayor asked Councilman Bonser to investigate the requested
need for a painted crosswalk on 4th East Street at Center Street.
The Mayor announced that he wished to set up an administrative
meeting for April 8, 1975 at 7:30 P.M. In addition to the Council,
he wished to invite the County Commissioners, State, County, and City
law enforcement representatives, Attorneys, Jud,:.:, ,chool authorit•es

April 15, 1975
A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to order by Regular meeting
Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald in the Council Chambers at 7.35 P.M. on the above
date.
In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs, Hammer (late), Bonser and Attendance
Peterson, Attorney Ruggeri, Engineer Keogh and Recorder Unger. Councilman
Nightingale was absent.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser and Minutes adopted
carried, to adopt the minutes of the regular meeting held April 1, 1975 as
submitted.
Mr. W. D. McArthur protested the alleged trapping and destroying of Cats
cats by Bill McComb in the Walnut Lane Trailer Court. It was determined
that the trap was the property of the City, loaned to Mr. McComb for use
in his own yard, with the removal and disposition of the animals to be
handled by the Animal Control Officer. Councilman Jacobs had responded to
a previous complaint during the weekend and had requested that the activity
be discontinued until the Animal Control Officer was on duty and available
to handle the animals. There being no regulations to either control or
to protect cats, City Attorney Ruggeri stated that any citizen has the
recourse of filing a legal complaint against another citizen for cruelty to
m animals. This is covered in the Utah State Code and comes under the juris-
d+ diction of the County Attorney.
Ot
Q Mr. Jim Black asked if there was to be any discussion concerning CAP
U CAP (there being a number of supporters in the audience). mayor McDougald
U
read a letter that he had written to the County Commission Chairman on
February 24, 1975 reflecting the thinking of the City Council at that time
concerning the CAP program. He briefly reviewed the activities since that
time and stated that he believed the Council was ready to vote to clearly
establish its position on the matter. Councilman Jacobs made a motion to
reaffirm Council support for the Mayor's letter. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Bonser. Mr. Black stated that he was relatively a newcomer
to the community and had little knowledge of CAP activities here but liked
the work they had done elsewhere, particularly in Texas. Kent Johnson
said that in his mind the action of the Council was a foregone conclusion
and that litigation would be initiated two days hence. Mr. Charles Pipkin
stated that he was holding a petition supporting CAP and that the petition
bore 200 signatures. The petition was not submitted to the Council. Mrs.
Fred Elderkin said that she had been approached on the street today by the
head of CAP, who said there was a family in need of overnight lodging.
Mrs. Elderkin offered a room in her home but was told it was inadequate
due to the size of the family. In her concern for people in distress, she
asked the Council who in the City could handle such situations. Council-
man Jacobs stated that the Utah State Division of Family Services has an
office in Moab to handle distress cases. Mayor McDougald then read a
letter from Councilman Nightingale explaining his absence from the meeting
and requesting that his vote be cast as in opposition to the continuation
of CAP in Moab. The Mayor then asked for an individual vote from the
Councilmen present on Councilman Jacobs' motion. Councilman Bonser said
he had talked to every agency he could contact and none felt that the
assistance of CAP was necessary to the conduct of the',-rograms. His
vote on the motion was yes. Councilman Jacobs voted yes. Councilman
Peterson said he was sure that some people had received benefit from CAP.
He visited their office but could not see files due to confidentiality.
he stated that according to the CAP presentation of records they have con-
ducted good youth programs. However, in talking to many citizens, he
found a great majority to be opposed to CAP activities. It was his belief
that CAP does duplicate existing services. His vote on the motion was yes.
Kent Johnson stated that the same organization would still be operating in
Moab after July 1, under a different name and privately funded. Most of
the audience departed from the meeting at this time.
Councilman Hammer, who had been attending a Recreation Board meet-
ing, joined the Council meeting. The Mayor briefed him on what had previ-
ously transpired. Councilman Hammer stated that most of the people he had
contacted were opposed to CAP. He wished to be placed on record in the
minutes as being in favor of the motion which had been made by Councilman
Jacobs.
The Mayor and Councilmen acknowledged the presence of members of
the City Police Department and of the Utah Highway Patrol and thanked them
for their attendance and interest in local affairs.

Councilman Bonser said he had no new business, but would
follow up on the cat situation that had been raised at the begin-
ning of the meeting. Councilman Jacobs said he would assist but
that he was sympathetic toward the party whose property was damaged
by the animals. Mr. McArthur interjected that he believed the cats
should be impounded a few days to permit owners to claim them prior
to any destruction.
The subject of an animal shelter was again raised, and the
Mayor requested Councilmen Hammer and Bonser to make a study of such
a proposal.
The Mayor ordered that a record be made in the minutes to the
effect that a copy of the Utah State smoking regulations had been
received from the office of the Secretary of State and would be placed
on file.
Councilman Bonser briefly reviewed the City Police report for
the month of March, 1975 citing operating statistics. Copies had
been distributed to all Councilmen. Councilman Bonser also commented
favorably on the cooperative effort of all law enforcement agencies
toward curbing vandalism.
Councilman Hammer reported that one of the primary actions of
the Recreation Board had been to reemploy the former Director, Glen
Richeson, for a five -month period at a salary increased from $420 to
$580 per month. Ken Yama, who had accepted the position earlier,
resigned to attend a summer school session.
Councilman Hammer cited the need for tref^ic control lights
at the intersection of Third South and Main Streets. This will
require action by or through the State Department of Highways.
Councilman Bonser pointed out the need for the painting of
school crosswalks plus appropriate signs and speed control on 4th
East Street at 3rd South and 2nd South Streets, but he did not see
the need for such a school crossing on 4th East at Center Street.
This was to be given further study in reference to more specific
locations at the intersections.
Councilman Hammer reviewed the zoning problems being encount-
ered in some subdivisions, suggesting the need for spot zoning from
R-2 to R-3 to permit beneficial use of property where the Board of
Adjustment could not grant variances on a nonconforming basis. In
reference to amending the zoning ordinance, to clear some question-
able areas, the Recorder was instructed to contact Dale Despain to
arrange for a consulting meeting.
Councilman Jacobs reported numerous complaints about the
persistent noise from motorbikes being ridden on vacant lots. To
a great extent, this is done by underage riders, who cannot be
licensed to travel on streets and highways. ConsideNable discus-
sion was held concerning both the nuisance of and the need for
this type of activity. It was decided that the activity could be
stopped if the owners of private property would post the property.
Still recognizing the need for some people, Councilman Hammer,
Bonser and Peterson accepted the challenge of trying to locate a
suitable area where riding permission could be granted and the noise
would not be a disturbing factor.
Councilman Jacobs emphasized the need for good custodial
services at park restrooms and particularly at the Visitor Center.
Resulting from the group law enforcement meeting held on
April 8, 1975, Councilman Peterson initiated a discussion concern-
ing recommendations to amend the curfew ordinance.
This subject led to adult hours, and the discussion digressed
to problems with the Town & Country Club. The Recorder was ordered
to dispatch a letter to the club operators informing them of licens-
ing regulations and instructing them to comply with the closing -hour
ordinances.
Returning to the curfew issue, Councilman Peterson made a
motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser and carried, to amend Moab
City Code, Sec. 17-6 to read as follows:
125
cfD
V
Sec. 17-6. Curfew --Persons seventeen years of age and under.
No person seventeen years of age and under shall be, or
remain in, or upon, any of the streets, alleys or public places
or vacant lots within the city at night between the hours of
11:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. following, Sunday through Thursday,
and between the hours of 1:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. following,
Friday and Saturday, unless such person is accompanied by a
parent, guardian or other person having legal custody of such
minor person, or unless the employment or lawful business of
such minor makes it necessary to be upon the streets, alleys,
or public places between such specified hours, in which event
such minor person shall obtain a permit from the Chief of
Police to be upon the streets, alleys or public places during
such hours. Where a permit is required from the Chief of
Police under this section, such permit shall be kept upon the
person and it shall be unlawful to be upon the streets, alleys,
or public places within such curfew hours without such permit.
PASSED by the City Council of Moab City this 15th day of April,
A.D., 1975.
The amended ordinance will be published in the Times -Independent on
April 24, 1975 and will become effective on May 15, 1975.
It is understood that Grand County plans to pass a like ordinance.
Councilman Peterson presented a brochure outlining a number of
seminars scheduled throughout the United States in reference to Federal
Funding for Community Development.
Mrs. Wallace Winfield asked for the proper authority to contact to
seek permission for a Girl Scout concession stand at the Little League
Ball Park for the summer season. Councilman Hammer stated that he would
present her request to the Recreation Board and advise her of their deci-
sion.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Peterson
and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
At 10:15 P.M., Councilman Jacobs made a motion for adjournment.
There were no objections.

Council agreed to grant the issuing of licenses when payment is
made. It was stipulated the tavern closing hours must be observed
by the Club. Mrs. Beck requested permission to stay open after
2 A.M. for the purpose of serving food only. The Mayor stated that
this request would be taken under advisement. Councilman Hammer
Joined the meeting during the above discussion. Authorization for
granting the licenses under City ordinance regulations was given on
a motion made by Councilman Nightingale, seconded by Councilman
Jacobs, and carried.
Residents and property owners of Mountain View Subdivision
appeared before the Council to voice objections to the Mountain
View area being considered for a motor bike field for unlicensed
riders. Councilmen Hammer stated there were two other areas being
considered and that the Mountain View location would be dropped.
Jess Zubeck also appeared in support of the Mountain View obJec-
tions and stated further that he wanted the corralled livestock
removed. Attorney Ruggeri cautioned against any precipitous action
until the corral location was checked in relation to the City bound-
aries. This detail was assigned to Inspector Shaffer and Engineer
Keogh. George Anderson stated there were definite legal stipula-
tions in reference to control over juveniles riding motor bikes on
private property. He had done considerable legal research and cited
the related laws extensively. Councilmen Hammer and Bonser rebutted
some of his interpretations.
David May of the National Park Service enlightened the Council
on plans of the National Bi-Centennial Committee to sponsor a road
show tour depicting life and activities in America 200 years ago. He
had invited the tour group to make a one -day stop in Moab on June 10,
1976 and requested the use of the City Park for their presentation,
with an indoor back-up such as the High School gymnasium. Councilman
Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried, to
approve the Bi-Centennial activity. Mr. May was complimented by the
Mayor and the Council for his initiative in getting Moab on the tour
agenda.
Tom Nielson requested consideration of the effect of allowing
the development in the new Walker Subdivision with less than current
frontage regulations. The Mayor, with the sanction of the Council,
assured Tom an on -the -spot investigation would be made the next morn-
ing.
Lenore Johnson and Betty Koskinen, representing low-income
people, informed the Council of the County Commission's request to
them for names of people to serve on the revised C.A.P. Board. They
requested the name of a councilman willing to serve on the Board and
were informed Councilman Bonser was the Mayor's choice.
Darlene Walker informed the Mayor she had heard she had been
appointed to the Shade Tree Commission but had had no official noti-
fication. The Mayor appologized and verbally made the appointment
official and requested her to get in touch wit;;;;.. Hansen for infor-
mation and instruction.
Stacy Lawrence indicated the loss of some support for scholar-
ships for the Drug and Alcohol School at the University of Utah and
pleaded for City participation. After discussion, the Council and
the Mayor requested Councilman Peterson to investigate the proposi-
tion and to participate in selecting a scholar and then to proceed
with financial- assistance if he concurred with the project.
Lynn Day approached the Council on the surmised problem with
getting water to Westwood Acres and was informed there is a water
line carrying water at the rear of the acreage.
Cecil Shaffer informed the Council he was holding a couple
of permits until the Water source was verified.
Councilman Jacobs informed the Council an application had
been made to Four Corners for Title X funds of $100,000 for flood
control work on the slick rock area.
Councilman Jacobs also relayed the information that a letter
from the Mayor requesting the assistance of Jim Harvey's office
might assist in procurring additional funds. A resolution from
the Council concurring with the foregoing was requested and granted.
By unanimous vote of the Moab City Council, the following resolu-
tion was adopted:
The Moab City Council and the City administration
declare 100% support in favor of the flood control pro-
gram. The Council notes previous damage from flash
floods off the slick rocks, and the Council feels the
program will be of vast assistance to the citizens of
Moab in flood protection.
Attorney Ruggeri explained the Sales Tax Ordinance, No. 5-75, which
the legislature had adopted and suggested the Council adopt it. Council-
man Nightingale made a motion that the Ordinance be adopted. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Peterson and was carried unanimously.
Councilman Nightingale moved that the bills be approved. The motior
was seconded by Councilman Bonser and carried.
Mayor McDougald informed the Council he had written the Bureau of
Land Management requesting that Moab be considered for the location of
the District Office if it were to be moved from Monticello.
The Council agreed to give $75 financial support to the Police Soft
ball Team.
John Keogh informed the Council he had made maps of all the subdi-
visions showing the vacant lots to be used in checking for ordinance com-
pliance.
John also informed the Council that #5 well had been pumped into
the golf course pond and that considerable sand was discharged at first
but lessened in appropriate time. It is felt that after a couple of pump-
ings the water will be clear at start-up. John further stated he and Lynr
Day had completed tests of the water main from wells and that information
had been forwarded to the engineers.

May 20, 1975
A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to order by
Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald in the Council Chambers at 8:00 P.M. on the
above date.
In attendance were Councilmen Bonser, Hammer, Jacobs and Peterson,
Attorney Puggeri, Engineer Keogh and Deputy Recorder, Judy Marshall.
Also in attendance for a portion of +he meeting was Chief of Police,
Dalton. Citizens Tom Nielson, Michelle Cook and Jim Walker were also
present. Councilman Nightingale was absent.
Jim Walker had been asked to attend the Council meeting to repre-
sent the Irrigation Board to answer questions in regard to the sinking of
the curb and the street at 1st East and 1st South. Mr. Walker stated he
felt the problem was caused by drainage from yards in the vicinity and
from the roadway behind the Moab Laundry which had washed a trench around
the box and that the weight of the box was then forced downward. Mr.
Walker invited the Councilmen to personally inspect the area to observe
the trench cut by the drainage water. As it was beginning to rain, Mayor
McDougald asked Councilman Harmer to accompany Mr. Walker to the site for
a visual inspection. Councilman Hammer verified the presence of the
trench cut by drainage water but concluded with the other Councilmen that
it would be impossible to ascertain whether or not the problem was caused
from improper drainage, as alleged by Mr. Walker, or from a leak from the
irrigation pipe which may be undermining the box, without digging up the
area. Councilman Jacobs stated that hopefully within a day or two the

Mayor McDougald called attention to the proposed Zoning Ordi-
nance Amendment and also to a letter submitted by David W. Allen,
representing the Moab City Planning Commission, in support of the
proposed Ordinance Amendment. Attorney Ruggeri stated his agreement
with the legal aspects of the proposed Ordinance. Councilman Hammer
made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser and carried, that the
City accept the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment 27-4-3 and
27-16-3.
Councilman Hammer announced that David Stewart had been hired
by the City a couple of weeks ago to do maintenance work at the
Visitor's Center and also at the City parks and is very pleased with
his work.
Councilman Jacobs pointed out that the swimming pool was in
deplorable condition and the opening date was fast approaching. He
stated among other things that the tile was loose on the sides of
the pool. Councilman Bonser recommended the May's Pool Co. from
Salt Lake City do the tile repair work and stated that the problem
could be eliminated in the future by caulking around the tiles each
fall. He also stated it would be necessary to have the pool be
acid washed.
Councilman Hammer recommended that inasmuch as the salaries
of the swimming pool employees were so low, ranging from $1.75 to
$2.00 per hour, that a 10% increase was warranted for the next fis-
cal year. The Council was in agreement with the proposal. He also
pointed out that a swimming pool manager was being sought for employ-
ment at a salary of approximately $550.00 per month.
The minutes of the regular Council meeting of May 6, 1975 were
approved with the correction that Mr. Tom Nelson, as stated, be
changed to read Tom Nielson.
Mayor McDougald directed that a letter be submitted to the Art
Guild in care of Dottie Swasey to the effect that in the future they
are to obtain the proper clearance to use the City Park for public
functions. The Council stated they had no objection to their using
the park if the proper permission were obtained and if the park were
cleaned afterward and cars were prohibited from driving on the grass.
The Council was concerned about the number of cars which were parked
on the lawn during their last function.
Woody's Tavern Mayor McDougald read a letter to the Council written by Chief
license suspended of Police, Dalton stating the Police Department had been having diffi-
culty getting Woody's Tavern to comply with the closing law. Mayor
McDougald recommended Woody's license to operate the bar be revoked
for ten days, effective May 21, 1975. Councilman Hammer put the
above recommendation into the form of a motion, which was seconded
by Councilman Peterson, and carried. The Mayor stated it was his
feeling a suspension should be invoked immediately upon a determina-
tion of a violation of the license requirements by the Judge and
asked Chief Dalton to inform the Council immediately any time he
was aware of a tavern violation.

Mayor McDougald requested a special council meeting be called

Chief Dalton informed the Council Officer Valdon Teeples would
be attending the Basic Peace Officer's Training School this summer.
Mayor McDougald informed Chief Dalton as well as the Council
the Utah League of Cities and Towns is going to help fight the new
requirements that auxiliary police officers be trained as regular
police officers. Chief Dalton informed the Council that at the
present time Officer Nyland was the only auxiliary police officer
who could meet the requirement.
Councilman Peterson asked if the City were going to spray
the trees for tent caterpillars this year as had been done last year
and was informed the spraying had been started and was being continued.
Mayor McDougald asked Councilman Hammer to check with Willis Hansen
regarding the correct timing for the spraying, and he agreed to do so
the following day.

Councilman Peterson informed the Council of the progress being
made regarding arrangements for this year's Butch Cassidy Days celebra-
tion and also explained some of his expectations for activities to be
used next year in conjunction with the Bi-Centennial Committee for the
rodeo and Butch Cassidy Days celebration.
Councilman Peterson also inquired whether or not the fire hydrants
requested had been received and was informed by Councilman Jacobs they
were on order but had not been received.
Councilman Peterson also inquired whether there was any money left
in the original budget for the landscaping of the Visitor's Center which
could still be used for that purpose. He was informed it was doubtful
but the original budget would be researched and he would be informed of
the outcome.

Discussion was held regarding a possible motor bike route to be Motor bike route
used by unlicensed and underage riders to reach an area designated for
riding of the bikes. Because he felt finding a suitable route was doubt-
ful because of complaints from citizens regarding dust and noise caused
by the bikes, Councilman Jacobs proposed the possibility be considered of
having a trailer built to transport the bikes to a designated area,
possibly transported by parents on a volunteer basis. The possibility
was to be considered further, with particular attention to the question
of insurance requirements to transport the trailer and also in regard to
CO
'' the City's responsibility, if any, in such a project.
p Engineer Keogh informed the Council that in attempting to deter- Mill Creek Drive
V mine an easement or right-of-way for the new bridge which has been pro- bridge
posed on Mi11 Creek Drive the proposed route was found to involve private
property, so the State has decided to realign it, which they planned to
do during the coming week. Also, he reported that so far preliminary
investigation had shown the cattle corralled near Mountain View Subdi-
vision to be just off City property. He reported an exact determination
would be very time consuming and quite costly. It was Mayor McDougald's
feeling that either way the cattle were a health hazard and requested
Cecil Shaffer be informed to request a determination from Jim Curry
regarding this. Mr. Keogh informed the Mayor the corral was approximatel
500 feet from residences in the area.
Councilman Jacobs informed the Council a request had been made by Holiday Haven
the owner of Holiday Haven Trailer Park.to rent City equipment and to
employ City personnel for the purpose of patching the Streets within the
park. Following considerable discussion, it was the feeling of the Coun-
cil the project could either be handled on a cost estimate basis with the
City charging for the cost of the work or by renting the equipment to the
trailer park if City employees were willing to operate the equipment and
to do the work after regular hours and on weekends for an overtime salary
to be paid by Holiday Haven. Councilman Jacobs was to discuss the proje
further with the owner of the trailer park.
Engineer Keogh informed the Council of the possibility of obtain- Flood control
ing twice as much funds from the Four Corners Regional District for flood
control check dams. The possibility is to be pursued.
Engineer Keogh informed the Council there is a dc.. per on the :•'ater from Corbin
flat on the Corbin Ranch. A well has been dug on the flat, and the de- Ranch well for
veloper was interested to know if the City may be interested in purchas- sale
inq a portion of the water. The Council was in agreement that the proje i
should be investigated but that a price for any well water purchased
should be based on the volume produced during peak draw -down during July
rather than projected on a curve basis.
Mayor McDougald reported that he had attended the Board of Direct- Utah League meet-
or's meeting for the Utah League of Cities and Towns in Salt Lake City on ing report
May 19, 1975. He noted that the League was working diligently to fight
the training requirement for auxiliary policemen. He also noted that
information supplied to them regarding salaries for judges and legal
services of communities of comparable size showed that Moab was paying
under the scale of many communities. He also stated that the State Tax
Commission has agreed to settle on 2% collections until July of 1976 but
after that time it will be prorated on the total amount.
Harold Jacobs made a motion the bills be approved for payment.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Peterson and carried.

The requested increase would become effective July 1, 1975. The
reasons given for the increase were rising fuel costs, proposed
increase to the City for billing and to allow a cost of living
wage increase for his employees. Councilman Peter=,.i stated he
would like to see documentation to justify the increase. Mr.
Hawks agreed to present an itemized statement to the Council
within two weeks. Councilman Bonser suggested to Mr. Hawks the
$15.00 increase to the City be eliminated and a clause added to
the contract to allow the rates to be reviewed by the Council
every six months. Mr. Hawks was in agreement with these sug-
gestions.
Councilman Peterson requested he be reimbursed from his
budget $100.00 for expenses incurred on the covered wagon to be

Councilman Jacobs stated the No. 6 well pumphouse needs to be
reroofed as well as the roof on the restrooms at the Old City Park.
Rholand Murphy estimated the cost of roofing both buildings at $285.00
with a 2-year guarantee and $185.00 to do the necessary patching but with
no guarantee. The Council suggested to Councilman Jacobs to have Mr.
Murphy do the work for $185 with no guarantee.
Councilman Jacobs stated the Explorer and Laurel groups of the
4th Ward want to use the Old City Park for two to three hours on June 26
for a dance, but would use no amplifier. The Council was in agreement
with this.
Councilman Jacobs also informed the Council Mr. Robert Dalton had
requested to use the City Park for a church -affiliated function on
July 24 and understood no vehicles were to be driven on the grass. The
Council agreed this was permissible.
Councilman Jacobs pointed out the bill for reroofing the Swim
Center exceeded the estimate by $250 because the machinery shed also
required some repair and reroofing.
Robert Hawks presented each Councilman with the documentation
requested at the Council Meeting June 3 to substantiate his request to
raise the minimum garbage collection fee per residential unit from $3.50
to $3.85 and the minimum fee per commercial unit from $5.50 to $6.00 to
become effective July 1, 1975. Mr. Hawks estimated his total increase
to be $432.50 per month, a 10% increase, and his anticipated expenses to
be over 20%. Councilman Bonser made the motion Mr. Hawks' request to
increase rates be granted, effective July 1, 1975, in addition to a six-
month option for review of his rates by the City Council. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried.

totaled $508,804.00 The 1975-76 budget was increased 24%, and revenue
was projected to be increased 26% over the 1974-75 budget.
Mayor McDougald pointed out that if the Mill Creek Bridge is
built it would be necessary to decrease the amounts budgeted in Revenue
Sharing to pay for the bridge. The Councilmen agreed the $12,000.00
budgeted for the Fire District should be allowed, but Mayor McDougald
asked that no more than 60% of the amount budgeted in all other depart-
ments be spent until a determination is made on the bridge. The Council-
men were in agreement.

The Councilmen were in agreement with this. Attorney Ruggeri
entered the meeting.
Mayor McDougald stated he had had an inquiry from a City
employee regarding the possibility of free swim passes for City

evidenced some problems and were not in favor of its continuance.
Councilman Nightingale stated he was scheduled to be on
Moab Report on July 3 and would be out of town on that date.
Councilman Hammer agreed to trade scheduled dates.
The Councilmen agreed there were too many dogs running
loose and that the leash law must be more strictly enforced. It
was pointed out that the dog catcher would be on vacation for
the following two weeks but that more strict enforcement must be
implemented upon his return. In the meantime, the City Police
are to handle all emergency situations.

ments and an engineer from Salt Lake City were scheduled to meet with him
on Thursday, July 3, to complete the application for the grant.
Councilman Jacobs reported he and Robert Hawks had traveled to
Alamosa, Colorado to observe their garbage shredding operation. He
described the end product as shredded bits which were slightly moist and
completely odorless. Chemicals had been added to kill bacteria in the
garbage.
Councilman Hammer, on behalf of the Grand County Fire District,
expressed appreciation for the equipment they are purchasing with their
Revenue Sharing appropriation.
Councilman Hammer also expressed his desire to obtain bids for a
double tennis court to be located at the City Park. Some discussion was
held, but no decisions were made.
Engineer Keogh stated he had requested a development log on 5e
test made by Rhodes on No. 9 well but had not received a copy. He
requested Mayor McDougald write a letter requesting it and was informed
this would be done.
Councilman Hammer stated the Moab Volunteer Fire Department had
been invited to Blanding for a water fight contest. The Contest was to
be judged by Blanding City officials. Blanding Fire Department and the
Green River Fire Departments have been invited to come to Moab on July 26
for a rematch in conjunction with Moab's Water Carnival. Councilman
Hammer requested two Moab City officials to judge the contest.

declare the week of August llth through the 15th as 4-H Week.
Andy Steen informed the Councilmen he has converted his
beer tavern into a steak house and lounge. He requested permis-
sion to hire employees under the age of 21 as bus boys and wait-
resses to serve food only and not to handle any alcoholic beverages.
He stated he has a Class I Beer License and will continue to serve
beer. The Councilmen were in agreement that hiring employees under
the age of 21 to handle food only is permissible and that no further
licenses are required.
Jim West, Director of the Summer Youth Work Experience Pro-
gram, informed the Councilmen of the projects completed by the
employees this summer at the City Park, Old City Park and the
Visitor's Center. He explained the funding is through Title III
and that the youth work 28 hours per week. Mr. West requested
permission for them to paint the yellow curbs in the City. The
Councilmen agreed this is a worthwhile project and are willing
to furnish the necessary supplies. Councilman Bonser agreed to
arrange the details of the project with Lynn Day. Other projects
were also suggested by the Mayor and the Councilmen.
Councilman Peterson stated the previous Tuesday morning `:
had awakened to find water and about a foot of mud covering his
back yard caused by the irrigation ditch bank giving way behind
his home. He further stated he had contacted Mr. Walker of the
Moab Irrigation District who claimed the Irrigation District bore
no responsibility for damage or cleanup. It was also pointed out
there had been considerable damage to the back yard of the
Visitor's Center the same night.
Because of the increasing problem with the ditches causing
land shift, etc. considerable discussion was held investigating
the possibility of Moab City purchasing the shares and diverting
the water to the City water system.
Mayor McDougald stated Bishop Burton of the Moab L.D.S.
1st Ward had petitioned the City for $200.00 to help defray the
cost of the celebration. Mayor McDougald further stated that
since July 24th is a state holiday he felt the City should con-
tribute that amount from Councilman Peterson's Community Affairs
budget. Councilman Peterson requested further information as to
exactly how the money would be spent. The Deputy Recorder was
instructed to contact Bishop Burton and to report to Councilman
Peterson before making the contribution.
Councilman Bonser reported he had missed the last two CAP
Advisory Board meetings but understood Grand County would be
allotted approximately $18.000.00. The CAP officials stated they
would continue to administrate the funds from the Price office
and that the local CAP Advisory Board would function only in an
advisory capacity. The Councilmen stated they felt the proper
coura, of action is to opt out of the program entirely.
Lynn Day pointed out that almost every evening the stools
in the restrooms at the City Park were being plugged with grass
clippings and gravel. This had also occurred•at the Visitor's
Center to a lesser degree. The Councilmen agreed the restrooms
should be locked at night. Mr. Day also pointed out Ray Shumway's
cattle had been running loose and had been getting into the Old
City Park and the Golf Course. Councilman Nightingale agreed to
call him to see if a solution could be worked out.
The need for two-way radios in the Street and Water Depart-
ment was discussed. Councilman Peterson made the motion, seconded
by Councilman Hammer and carried, that the City purchase two mobile

Councilman Hammer reported progress is being made toward establish
ing a motorcycle riding area above the City dump. BLM had given per-
mission to use the land, and the County agreed to donate a caterpillar to
prepare the site.

A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to order on
the above date at 7:45 P.M. in the Council Chambers by Mayor Wm. Dean
C7 McDougald.
C' M In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs, Bonser and Peterson, Attorney
= Ruggeri, Engineer Keogh and Recorder Unger. Councilman Peterson arrived
U at 7:55 P.M. and Attorney Ruggeri at 8:15 P.M. Councilmen Nightingale and
V Hammer were absent.
By request, L. H. Woodward appeared to answer questions and to dis-
cuss the use of a drive -up window to dispense beer. Mr. Woodward stated
that the use of the window represented about one-half of his total
business. He also stated that it was not unusual for an adult to drive
up with a number of underage persons and purchase beer, further that he
always checked a customer's driver's license for certification of age
before making a sale. The Council pointed out that the police felt
monitoring this type of business was more difficult than when a person
was required to enter the building to make a purchase. With assurance
by Mr. Woodward that he would continue vigilance in checking identifica-
tion for age and due to the volume of business involved, the Council
agreed to permit continuation of the practice, but would take appropriate
action if violations were reported by the police. A general discussion
was held -concerning sources of alcoholic beverages for juveniles.
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Peterson,
to adopt the minutes of the regular meeting of July 15, 1975 as presented.
The motion carried.
Councilman Jacobs opened a discussion concerning a letter from Mary
Martin requesting additional pay of $2.75 per hour for the time she was
instructing a swimming lesson session. Mr. Jacobs stated that he felt
the earlier presentation of the letter had been misunderstood. He had
interviewed a number of mothers at random concerning the program and
received very favorable reports. He also cited the pool income compared
with expenses. The Council agreed to pay for instructional time and
requested Mr. Jacobs to attempt to keep the pool open for general swimming
on weekends through September.
Letters from Jim Walker, representing the Moab Irrigation Co.,
pertaining to trees in a ditch on 5th West near Park Drive were reviewed
and discussed. Councilman, Peterson made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Bonser, that the City do no work in this regard. The motion carried.
It was decided that Councilman Jacobs and Recorder Unger should
attend the Utah League of Cities and Towns' annual meeting in Salt Lake
City on September 4-5-6, 1975.
Resolution 4-75 approving the City budget for fiscal year 1975-76

Improvement District from 1 mill to 0.87 mill.
Dave Munden, representing the Credit Bureau of Moab, appeared
before the Council requesting a tabulation of water connections and
disconnections. The Council was reticent to release sbch information.
39
The gathering of this information would place an additional burden on
the office staff. Mr. Munden indicated willingness to pay a fee on a
per -name basis, with no specific amount being meni.ioned. He also asked
if his staff could search the information in the City office. This
latter request was denied. The problem was taken under advisement to be
investigated further.
The Council agreed to allow payment of one half of Engineer
Keogh's expense for a trip to Park City to attend a meeting of Civil
Engineers. The amount was to be included with the bills. Grand County
is paying the other half of this expense.
Lynn Day, Street and Water Superintendent, advised the Council
that Ron Pierce had requested relocation, to a lower depth, of water
meters and asked for help to divert irrigation water to his property.
A discussion was held concerning the possible acquisition by the City of
additional water or water rights.
Councilman Peterson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser
and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
Councilman Bonser noted quotations he had received for a police
car covering 1975 and 1976 models. After some discussion, it was
decided to advertise for bids on a 1976 model vehicle.
Councilman Jacobs opened a discussion on the parking situation at
the Hitching Post. The Recorder reported that a "No Parking" sign nu3
on order to be used with the yellow stripe painted on West Center Street
and when available the operators would again be instructed to construct
a barricade near the street so there would not be room for partial on -
off street parking.
Councilman Jacobs also reported that Dan Welch was doing welding
work at a property on Moenkopi and that there was excessive illegal park
ing of trucks at the location. He stated this was in Emerald Subdivi-
sion. He imparted information furnished by David Allen concerning the
Shrine Convention on September 5, with the City Park to be used Saturday
and Sunday mornings for breakfast and as a formation point for a Saturda,
parade. It was pointed out that some people are not using the restrooms
in the parks and that others are vandalizing them.
Councilman Peterson expressed appreciation for the newly-installe
fire hydrant across the street from his place of business.
The Mayor announced the need for housing to accommodate twenty
five BLM families.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:05 P.M.

Bill Hines appeared before the Council requesting a water
and sewer connection for a nonconforming trailer on his property.
Permission was granted to apply for connections, with the agree-
ment that the trailer would be removed on the death of the occupant.
Mr. Louis Jones and Mrs. Frances Farmer appeared before the
Council protesting activities outside the Hitching Post. The com-
plaints related to obscent language, dust from the parking lot,
and various nuisances and disturbances because of the establish-
ment, supposedly resulting in devaluation of their adjacent
properties. Councilman Jacobs noted illegal street parking and
a complaint from Mr. Jones concerning the use of their property
for parking. It was recommended that Mr. Jones post his own
property regarding parking. Clinton Spinks, the operator of the
Hitching Post, was to be called and to be interviewed by the
Councilmen on August 20, 1975 at 11 A.M. to further discuss the
problem.
Dennis Morris, representing the Heritage Corporation,
appeared before the Council to explain their proposed activities
and to inquire about dividing a lot for the purpose of erecting
two houses. As each resulting lot would conform to the zoning
ordinance, the Council agreed to permit the division.
Mr. Melvin Goode appeared before the Council to apply
for the caretaker position at the Old City Park. He was asked
to come to the office at 10:30 A.M., on August 20, 1975 to discuss
the details with Councilmen Hammer and Jacobs.
Bob Ames, representing the Jaycees, informed the Council
that Moab is hosting the State Jaycee convention next May, prior
to Memorial Day. He requested information concerning any permits
which might be required. In reference to possible parades, he was
instructed to clear them with the Chief of Police so proper traffic
control could be arranged. It was further suggested that he work
with Councilman Peterson for any additional City contact.
The question of opening and improving McGill Street between
MiVida Drive and 5th West was discussed. Councilman Jacobs
recommended that Engineer Keogh determine the property owners
facing the street so they could be contacted, advised of the needs
and requirements as well as costs involved, then determine a course
of action.
Councilman Jacobs recommended a larger wading pool and
refurbishing the main pool this fall after closing. It was agreed
to keep the pool open afternoons and evenings through Labor Day.
In reference to the dog problem, it was noted that repeated
court citations may be necessary. Enforcement was to be referred
to the Chief of Police for review.
Councilman Bonser stated that a committee had been formed
to formulate a program for the Community Action Program. The
committee was to consist of Councilman Bonser, ChariP- Ing and
Charles Pipkin. They recommended operating without any staff
personnel so all money could be used for actual needs. The staff
leadership in Price reported that this could not be done. The
local committee then recommended opting out of CAP. Subsequently
the Price office offered to accept the proposed program. The
committee is meeting with the Grand County Commission on Thursdays
August 21, 1975 for additional study. The Council agreed to
support Councilman Bonser in getting out of the program as it has
existed.
A question was raised concerning a tree at the corner of
Park Road and Emerald which is doing curb damage.' The tree
appears to be on City property, although the adjacent property
owner claims tree ownership. Councilman Jacobs and Street Super-
intendent Day are to visit the owner and advise him of the
necessity to remove the tree. If necessary, legal action would
be taken through the City Attorney and Chief of Police.
Bill Osborne had questioned the necessity for him to go
before the Planning Commission in reference to redividing some
lots facing Park Road. It was determined that since part of
the division would involve rezoning a portion of the area it
would be necessary to have a planning hearing.

Questions arose concerning vending machine licensing. The
Recorder was directed to consult with the City Attorney for answers.
A request from the Church of St. Francis for the City to reimburse

Council.
A request from a juvenile for permission to decorate fire hydrants

are available.
A request to the business office from the local Post Office to
change the mailing date of water bills from the 1st of the month to the
25th of the month was discussed. The Council was in accord with the
request if it posed no problems to the business office. A request would
be made for an access doorway for box patrons to be made in the west side
of the Post Office building to encourage the use of recently established
parking facilities on that side of the building.

A discussion ensued concerning the use of credit cards by
Policemen for the purchase of unleaded gasoline at a service
station. The officers were to be directed to note vehicle mileage
reading on each credit card ticket.
A citizens' group of 11 persons headed by James Hamilton
engaged in a two-hour discussion concerning questions about what
happens when an unlicensed operator of a motorcycle or automobile
is apprehended by the Police. Can or do they impound the vehicle?
What are court procedures in handling citations, particularly
repeaters? Initially the discussion centered on youth but was
later expanded to include all violators. Ron Taylor of radio
station KURA entered the discussion and asked if the radio could
be critical of citizen and law -enforcement activities, legally
or to any community benefit. Mr. Hamilton cited violations he had
observed and about which he had been made aware on August 31, 1975
which apparently had not been observed by the police. Sergeant
Rowley presented copies of 221 citations issued during June, July
and August of 1975 and stated this number was one-third greater
than for the same time period during the previous year. Coach
and Driver Education Instructor, Del Ford, stated that parents
were aiding and abetting juvenile violations. Martin Hamaker,
representing the Jaycees, stated that no activities are available
for the 14 to 18 year age group and that they needed an outlet.
Numerous supervised activities for this age group were
cited by others, who stated that the youth would not partici-
pate in supervised activities. Mr. Hamaker said the Jaycees
wanted to sponsor an outdoor dance, possibly at the shooting
range, to preclude noise complaints. He asked for City Police
assistance in supervision but was advised that this was outside
the City limits and the City Police could not participate.
R. S. Higgins offered the opinion that most juvenile
problems were parental responsibility.
Councilman Peterson recommended that State Legislators be
pressured to enact a parental responsibility law in addition to
the present shoplifting regulation.
A resolution was presented which had been passed by the
County Commission to memorialize the Four Corners Commission
to provide a limited and temporary subsidy for Sun Valley Key
Airlines to continue suitable service for Moab. The resolution
was adopted on a motion made by Councilman Peterson, seconded by
councilman Hammer, and passed. The resoluWWWI reads as folluws:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS: Sun Valley Key Airlines has indi-
cated that it will suspend service to Moab, Utah on
October 1, 1975 because of operating losses incurred
during its trial year of operation in Moab, Utah
under an authority transferred from Frontier Airlines
under direction of the Civil Aeronautics Board AND,
WHEREAS: despite the minor operation loss of
Sun Valley Key, service to Moab, Utah by that airline
has been excellent and well accepted AND,
WHEREAS: there is now in process an effort
aimed at getting Federal Certification and subsidy
support from the Civil Aeronautics Board for third
level carriers and in particular Sun Valley Key
Airlines AND
WHEREAS: these efforts should result in
either positive or negative action well within a
period of six (6) months from now,
THEN THEREFORE: be it resolved that the CITY
OF MOAB petitions the Four -Corners Regional Commision
through the Honorable Calvin L. Rampton, Governor of
Utah for interim financial support to make up actual
operating losses for a period not to exceed six (6)
months time beginning October 1, 1975 and not to exceed
$15,000.00.
Councilman Bonser reported that the local CAP Committee had met
with the Grand County Commissioners in support of their signing a con-
tract with CAP for use of an $11,000.00 annual budget, all to be used
beneficially without provisions for a CAP staff. Roughly, the dis-
tribution was to be $3,000.00 for the Headstart bus to be used on a
limited basis for senior citizen cab service, $3,000.00 for a supervisor
for juvenile court work assignments, $3,000.00 for salaries for the
Recreation Board and $1,200.00 for supervision to install insulation in
low-income homes. The County apparently has about $3,200.00 available
with which to purchase insulating materials. It was noted that re-
strictions on the use of CAP funds prevent purchasing of equipment or
materials.
di
QCouncilman Jacobs reported the "No Parking" sign which was on
V order had been received but not yet installed.
Councilman Hammer raised a question on the perennial dog problem.
Councilman Bonser stated that the Police Department must accept responsi-
bility for dog ordinance enforcement.
Councilman Hammer stated he had recently inspected the Hitching
Post area and that no action had yet been taken to control parking.
Councilman Hammer reported a tree in question on Emerald Street
had been trimmed, apparently by the property owner at the location.
He also stated that having been out of town for considerable time
he had not made any progress on the proposed moto-cross location for
motorcycle riders.
He further reported that the Fire Department was testing hydrant
pressures, and there appeared to be problems on 5th West. An attempt
would be made the next evening to isolate the problem location.
Councilman Jacobs stated he wished to be present to observe test-
ing. He also noted that all fire hydrants have now been numbered to
facilitate inspection record keeping.
Councilman Nightingale expressed his appreciation for the testing
program.
Councilman Jacobs commented on spillage of trash on streets and
roads by persons hauling their own trash to the dump. After checking
the ordinance, he planned to put an ad in the paper as a warning to
violators.
Engineer Keogh requested a ruling on the payment of engineering
fees for sewer locations at new construction. He was directed ^harge
fees to the property owner involved.
He also noted the need for an official abandonment of a street in
Mountain view Subdivision, where lots had been replatted.
In reporting on the acquisition for right-of-way for the Mill
Creek Drive Bridge construction, he stated that Mrs. Walker was a co-
operative property owner, but the new owner of the former Glenn Victor
property was not so cooperative.
The meeting adjourned at 11:05 P.M. by mutual consent.

September 16, 1975
A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to
order in the Council Chambers at 7:30 P.M. on the above date by
Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald.
In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs, Hammer, Peterson
and Bonser, Engineer Keogh, Chief of Police Dalton, Street and
Water Superintendent Day and Recorder Unger. Councilman Night-
ingale and Attorney Ruggeri were absent.
On a motion made by Councilman Jacobs, seconded by Council-
man Hammer and passed, the minutes of the meeting held September 2,
1975 were approved as presented.
It was called to the attention of the Council that the
former Minasian property above the City wells was being divided
and sold for building lots. About two-thirds of the area is within
1,500 feet from the nearest City springs. The State Health Depart-
ment places such a limitation on possible sewerage disposal in
relation to a public water supply. To obviate the requirements
that a water well for individual use and a septic tank be on an
area of no less than two acres, it was stated that the plots
were being sold in 2.25 acre sizes. As the location is in the
County area, it was the will of the Council to seek restriction
of building through the Grand County Commission to maintain the
State Health Department distance requirements in relation to possi-
ble contamination of the City water supply.
A sizable group of citizens was present to again discuss the
problems related to juveniles, law enforcement and penalties.
Albert Brown stated he was disgusted with letters to the
editor concerning law enforcement. It was his contention that
parents are at fault rather than the juveniles, that parental
responsibility legislation is needed and that the law officers
need all the public support they can get to back up enforcement.
Sheila Maxfield requested protection for youngsters from
youngsters in and out of school.
Mayor McDougald acknowledged receiving a clipping from Rudy
Higgins, which was duplicated and distributed to all Councilmen.
The pertinent part of the article was a closing sentence stating
that, "Government should only guarantee people their liberty and
security." Mr. Higgins declined an opportunity to elaborate on
the article.
Martin Hamaker, of the Jaycees and an ardent youth support-
er, said the purpose in writing letters "to the editor" was an
attempt to create public interest in attending meetings. He added
that young people like to congregate and need a designated place
in which to do so. Further, he felt adults could assist the
police by riding with them and learning more about their problems.
He suggested setting up a "Hot Line" similar to Salt Lake City
with a number 5622 (same as MOAB on the telephone alai) which
people observing law violations could call anonymously to secure
a quick police response. Councilman Hammer pointed out there
could be numerous false alarms, such as those experienced by the
Fire Department, if anonymous calls were accepted. When a com-
plaint is filed, it is necessary to have witnesses testify in
court unless a police officer apprehends a person in a criminal
act. Councilman Bonser said people do not wish to call to avoid
being involved. He did believe most calls could be serviced
within five to ten minutes. He added that all officers had com-
pleted their training, so the department was up to full strength,
with one additional officer, and that starting September 1, 1975
the coverage was nearly doubled over the recent past. The
present schedule is for two men on duty during the day, peak
hours, two in evenings four nights per week and three in even-
ings two nights per week. Evening schedules will be varied to
avoid establishing a known pattern.
Connie Caouette stated that many of the young people have
radios which will monitor police calls and make coverage diffi-
cult.
Councilman Bonser said this could be overcome by the use of call
codes, which would require constant changing
145
Call codes
Mr. Brown observed that he did not believe parents realize the
responsibilities public officials carry.
Councilman Peterson favored the "Hot Line" concept as a phycho-
logical benefit toward misbehavorial actions.
Mr. Caouette favored "Hot Line" callers being required to identify
themselves.
Adrienne Taylor stated people would not identify themselves if the,
miscreant happened to be their employer.
Tom Balsley expressed the opinion that those who lack police call
monitoring equipment might be controlled but that real young or elderly
unprotected persons could not be expected to serve as witnesses.
Chief Dalton said his department would answer all calls, whether
or not they might be able to observe the reputed illegal activity. He
said he would appreciate calls and all other possible help.
Mrs. Stevens, a mother, told of her son, Keith, being gang stomped
at the middle school. She took him to the hospital and doctor for
714 medical treatment, but he had not recovered readily from the traumatic
crj experience. The action had been reported by her to the school authori-
M ties.
Mr. Brown stated that parents do not support teachers when their
children are disciplined.
James Wanielista said School Superintendent Meador had made a
statement, somewhat in confidence, to the effect that parents should
bring legal suit against unruly students who are interfering with the
educational process to have them removed from school.
Mrs. Taylor noted that in reference to discipline the hands of the
School Board and the teachers are pretty much tied by regulations.
Mrs. Wallace Winfield stated that very few parents ever attend
School Board meetings and also that she did not believe the curfew was
being adequately enforced.
Mrs. Roby asked what happens if a court suit is instigated. No
one offered an answer. She also commented that she did not think the
problems were related to the schools exclusively.
Mrs. Taylor suggested a request be made to get the subject on the
School Board's agenda.
In response to the curfew -enforcement situation, Chief Dalton said
it is not enforced to the letter of the law due to late drive-in movies
and some church functions, as young people are permitted out while return-
ing home, but that problem children are picked up whenever possible
Presumably from the Jayvees, Kenny Ellis and Kevin Anderson said
the kids want entertainment and probably would not object to its being
terminated 11:00 P.M.
Mayor McDougald mentioned school dances were available, but being
supervised are not well attended.
Mrs. Taylor acknowledged the presence of the two young men, compli-
mented them on attending the meetings, and said she thought that by work-
ing together as adults and juveniles many existing problems could be
resolved.
Mrs. Taylor also defended the School Board and said they need
parental support more than teacher support.
Mr. Dowd, a periodic but regular visitor from Cortez, Colorado
spoke in defense of outdoor dances. He said that in his opinion the
traffic situation in Moab was much improved and that the local citizens
are getting pretty much what they want.

Jim Hamilton was recognized by the Mayor and said he
came mostly to listen but would appreciate additional adult
support.
Mr. Hamaker asked if we bad kept up with the pace of the
times and the needs of the people. No one responded to this
question.
Mrs. Taylor noted that the Mayor had requested a time
limit for the discussion, which had been exceeded, and thought
it could be brought to a close by looking back in history to
the days of Socrates and others and realize that the present
problems are not necessarily new or unique, but history repeat-
ing itself. She reemphasized continuing to work together toward
problem solving.
In, line with the clipping he had supplied, Mr. Higgins
said he thought we were asking government to do too much for
us. He said we should ask what the adult citizens and children
can do for themselves and to help the City, which comes back to
the point of parental responsibility.
Mr. Brown stated that children need an opportunity to
help themselves.
Mr. Hamaker said the previously mentioned young men ;...d
proven themselves by participating in civic events.
Councilman Hammer noted the same problems had continued
to arise for the past four years. His solution is to crack
down and maintain continuous enforcement of laws.
County Commissioner Holyoak commented that the Council
would be harrassed either way they go.
Councilman Jacobs affirmed his confidence in the dudi-
ciary,,stating that Judge Grist had attended a school in Reno
on law enforcement and was being more tough with court penal-
ties.
Mrs. Taylor, being a member of the State Judiciary
Advisory Committee, is to attend a conference concerning the
courts and stated she would present the problems to the con-
ference.
Councilman Jacobs felt the public turnout for the meet-
ing was a compliment to the City Council in that people had
sufficient confidence to bring in and to present their problems.
He believes the majority of people favor good regulation in the
City and in the schools. He stated that some problems are out-
side the Council's jurisdiction but would attempt to set up a
special meeting of the school Board.
Mr. McArthur announced the Bicentennial Committee was
providing funds for a dance floor at the Lions' Park.
Councilman Bonser noted two problems with the judicial
system: (1) Plea bargaining, which can be discouraged by the
Judge in attempting to improve on prosecution. (2) Inflation
has placed misdeneanor fine levels below the rest of the
economy.
Terry Warner asked why the fines which are assessed are
reduced. This question remained unanswered.
Most of the public discussion group departed.
Jim Wanielista proposed that the City provide, or par-
ticipate in, a sign advertising Moab to be located at Crescent
Junction. The Council agreed to take this under advisement.
Jay Axtell asked for a decision on the improvement of
McGill Boulevard to 5th West Street. This is currently under
1. study. For the first time, he mentioned a fence at McGill and
McCormick which obstructs drivers' vision.

The Council decided to hold a public hearing at 8.00 P.M. on
October 7, 1975 concerning the recommendations of the Planning Com-
mission for proposed changes in the zoning map.
A petition was made by David W. Allen to abandon a street in a
resubmitted subdivision plat. It was determined by the City Council
that this will not be detrimental to the general interest, bit on the
contrary, will be beneficial to the public interest. On a motion made
by Councilman Bonser, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried, the
abandonment action was approved. The City Recorder was directed to
secure a proper ordinance from the City Attorney to formalize the
action
Concerning complaints received about abandoned automobiles
parked on the Donald Brookshier property at 454 Carlos Court, the
Recorder was instructed to proceed with the proper letter of nofifica-
tion for removal under the nuisance ordinance.
Councilman Hammer asked if the Fire Department had been in-
formed the Carnival was getting water through a fire hydrant.
Apparently no such advise had been given.
He noted there had been no action at the Hitching Post to
correct the parking problem. It was decided to call Mr. Spinks,
the proprietor, in again at 11:00 A.M. on Friday, September 19, 1975
to secure some action.
councilman Hammer commented on an itinerant photographer who
he did not believe was licensed.
He asked about the Carnival licensing and was informed their
license was paid.
He suggested a restudy of the licensing ordinance and fees.
He also announced the motor bike trail for unlicensed operators
was ready for use.
Councilman Jacobs stated that Moab Motor Parts had requested
permission to install a NAPA sign on the Walnut Lane Trailer Court
signpost on Main Street at 1st North. Permission was granted on a
motion made by Councilman Hammer, seconded by Councilman Peterson and
carried. Councilman Bonser abstained from voting.
Councilman Jacobs stated that a Jones' tenant, across Center
Street from the Hitching Post, had an automobile bumper damaged by a
bar customer using the Jones' parking area.
He also told of a concrete tabletop being dumped on the ground
at the City Park and two lights which were broken at the same location.
Mayor McDougald reminded the Councilmen of the Friday meeting
to be scheduled with Mr. Sprlks.
Councilman Jacobs announced plans were under way to establish
a defensive driving course in Moab as a penalty for traffic offenders,
when determined by the court. Costs to train instructors in Price
would be $10:00 per individualofor the course, plus travel costs.
Indications a.. that about forty people' in Moab should be available as
potential students.
Councilman Peterson spoke in favor of Mr. Hamaker's "Hot Line"
suggestion.
Councilman Hammer volunteered to check with the telephone com-
pany concerning the mechanics of such an installation.
Councilman Peterson voiced concern over the lack of cleanup
after the fire at the old Robertson Service Station.
Councilman Jacobs explained the activities to date and said he
would check further with Fire Chief Black.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hamner,
to approve the bills as submitted. The motion carried.

A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to
order in the Council Chambers at 7:40 P.M. on the above date by
Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald.
In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs (late), Hamner,
Peterson and Bonser, Engineer Keogh, Attorney Ruggeri, Recorder
Unger and Street Superintendent Day. Councilman Nightingale
was absent.
Minutes approved On a motion made by Councilman Bonser, seconded by Council-
man Peterson and carried, the minutes of the meeting held Septem-
ber 16, 1975 were approved as presented.
Water quality Courtney Brewer, formerly with the Southeastern Utah
presentation Association of Governments, now Director of the 208 Water
Quality Program, was recognized and started the presentation
of a slide show accompanied by recorded dialogue to illustrate
the purposes and methods of the Program. During this presenta-
tion, Councilman Jacobs joined the meeting.
Mr. Brewer broke off at 8 P.M., as previously requested
by the Mayor, at which time changes in the zoning ordinance map
were considered. These changes had been previously approved
by the Planning Commission and advertised for a public hearing
to be held at this time. The changes were requested by William
Osborne to extend the C-2 zone along 5th West Street twenty
feet southerly into the existirg R-2 zone. Another request was
from Kenneth Erbes and Kenneth Key to establish the C-3 zone
into R-2 and R-4 zones for a distance of 250 feet west of 1st
West Street between Walnut Lane and Park Road. On a motion
made by Councilman Jacobs, seconded by Councilman Hammer and
carried, the map changes were approved.
Mr. Brewer then completed the balance of a half-hour
program. Before retiring, he stated he was also working
with the Moab Irrigation Company and the County water Con-
servancy District. He stated further that the City should
be represented at the next committee meeting to be held in
Helper within six weeks. He thought R. W. Unger had been
appointed to this committee but had not attended any previous
meetings. Someone also mentioned that Engineer Keogh had been
appointed as a committeeman. Neither Unger nor Keogh was
aware of any such appointment or previous meetings. Mr. Brewer
was to check and advise. He was also to send specific informa-
tion concerning the next proposed meeting.
The Council considered the roster of election judges,
previously submitted, and on a motion made by Councilman Jacobs,
seconded by Councilman Hammer, the roster was approved with one
exception. The Recorder was directed to seek a replacement for
Peggy Tomsic, who is related to one of the candidates running in
the election for City Councilman.

bursed when new connections are attached during a 7-year period.
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Jacobs
and carried, to adopt Ordinance 7-75, concerning a street abandonment
in the Mountain View Subdivision extension which had been done by
motion at the previous Council meeting. The ordinance reads as
follows:

On a motion made by Councilman Jacobs, seconded by Councilman
Bonser and carried, the fuel bid submitted by McDougald Oil was
accepted. This was the only bid received, although other suppliers
had been advised of the bid by telephone and a notice published in
the newspaper.
Bids for a cash register were opened, and on a motion made by
Councilman Bonser, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried, in low
bid from Lloyd's Systems was to be accepted pending an investigative
determination by Councilman Bonser relating to the type of machine
required.
A bid for radio equipment received through Royce's Electronics
for Motorola equipment was to be accepted on a motion made by Council-
man Hammer, seconded by Councilman Bonser and carried. Councilman
Jacobs voted nay. Final acceptance was tabled until the next meeting,
at which time Councilman Hammer is to report on the need for an antenna
tower. Royce was the only bidder on this item. Lightfoot's TV and
Electronics stated by telephone that they were not equipped to partici-
pate in this type of equipment. Red Crawford in Grand Junction also
advised he could not bid but'would'forward the specifications to Moto-
rola for handling. At the time of the meeting, there had been no
response received from Motorola.
A list of delinquents on Improvement Districts #1, #2, and #13
had been submitted to the Councilmen with a memorandum stating Attorney
Ruggeri would suggest procedures to follow. His suggestion was to pre-
pare a form letter for mailing to each obligee with legal follow-up, if
necessary.

Lynn Day reported he was low on manpower for water,

Councilman Bonser outlined a trade which had been nego-
tiated between the City Police Department and an auto towing
service in Monticello involving vehicle beacons and a loud
speaker system which would be about $400.00 less cost to the
City than purchasing new equipment. He also commented briefly
on the memorandum and report submitted to the Councilmen by
the Recorder concerning the method of governmental operation
in Kansas City, Missouri.
Councilman Hammer requested information on how the review
of the City licensing was progressing. Councilman Bonser re-
sponded he was to meet with the retail merchants later in the
week to determine their feelings on the situation.
Councilman Hammer talked briefly on the recent fire
evaluation inspection and noted the lack of water volume on
5th West Street near 4th North Street.
He added that Mr. Spinks had not fulfilled his agreement
in reference to the handling of parking and patron actions out-
side his place of business. The Councilman said he would visit
Mr. Spinks and would like to limit him to one more week to com-
ply or have his license revoked for a period of time. It was
pointed out that the license was not related to activities of
the public outside a place of business.
Mention was made that juveniles are being permitted inside
the building. The Mayor stated the juvenile situation also exists
at the Poplar Place.
Councilman Jacobs reported on his trips to Salt Lake City
on Monday and Tuesday in the interest of air service for Moab.
He stated that Moab was the most active City attempting to
retain air service. Price was less active, and Cedar City was
doing practically nothing.
Councilman Peterson announced that Don Robinson had re-
quested a change in his telephone number to release his old
number, 6622, for the police "Hot Line". He also asked about
negotiations with Pete Byrd concerning the Moab Irrigation Com-
pany. Councilman Jacobs said he had not had time to pursue the
matter.
Mayor McDougald spoke briefly on the noon meeting held
October 7 with representatives from the Utah League of Cities
and Towns and Gem State Insurance concerning medical and hospital
insurance for City employees. Most of the Councilmen present had
attended the luncheon meeting. No immediate action on insurance
was indicated.
Engineer Keogh reported only two easements needed for the
Mill Creek Drive Bridge project remained to be secured. He also
stated that curb stakes had been set on part of McGill Boulevard.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Peterson and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.

A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to order
in the Council Chambers on the above date at 7:40 P.M. by Recorder R.
W. Unger.
In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs, Hammer and Peterson,
Engineer Keogh (late), Recorder Unger and Street Superintendent Day.
Absent were Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald, Councilmen Nightingale and Bonser
and Attorney Ruggeri.
On a motion made by Councilman Jacobs, seconded by Councilman
Hammer and carried, the minutes of the meeting held October 7, 1975
were approved as presented.
Mrs. Colosimo representing the Planned Parenthood office from
Price was in attendance with Mrs. Ricks, local representative. Mrs.
Ricks reported on their activities for the past year as no report had
been received in the interim. In attendance with Mrs. Ricks were
Lucille McEwen and Roger Christensen. Other committee members are
Marilyn Hampton, Ann Pool and Irma Peterson. Mrs. Ricks stated they
had made a door-to-door canvas of the western part of the city, making
70 contacts. Mrs. Ricks stated she had only been active in the program
for about ten months. In most cases, office patients pay a fee for con-
M sultation, with exception of the very low income group. When patients
d' call at the office, the staff takes their blood pressure and urinalysis.
They will counsel persons under 18 years of age but will not provide
any treatment without parental consent. Councilman Jacobs stated he
had checked with some of the local doctors and other individuals and
determined that the operation was being handled in a "low key" satis-
factory manner. Mrs. Colosimo said their financing was assured through
1976. Locally they are handling about five patients per month. Other
activity includes educational work. Mrs. Ricks said that in the 15 to
19 age group Grand County ranks third populationwise in Utah in out -of -
wedlock births. Nothing of this nature is publicized. Councilman
Jacobs complimented the committee on its work and suggested that it be
continued. He made a motion, seconded by Councilman Peterson and
carried, that the program be continued. Statistics from the Public
Health Service should be adequate for final reporting of operating prog-
ress. Councilman Jacobs, now being on the committee, can keep the
Council informed if anything unusual occurs.
Copies of Ordinances 8-75, 9-75 and 10-75 had been previously
submitted to Councilmen. Councilman Peterson made a motion, seconded
by Councilman Hammer and passed, to adopt these ordinances. The Ordi-

The Councilmen had been informed by memorandum regarding a re-
quest from Mrs. Evans for a street light near her front gate. This
request was tabled until the Councilmen could check the area personally
to assess the need.
Mr. Steve Cramer appeared before the Council to introduce Gil-
bert R. Horrocks, President of Horrocks and Associates, a consulting
engineer firm in eastern and southern Utah seeking an opportunity to
do engineering work for the City. Mr. Cramer had formerly been with
the Utah State Division of Health. They have been engaged in subdivi-
sion work on the Corbin Ranch in Spanish Valley. Councilman Jacobs
said he would like to discuss solid waste disposal methods with them
at some time other than in Council meeting.
A fire alarm at 8:05 P.M. caused Councilman Hammer to leave the
meeting.
Grand County Commissioner Dan Holyoak had brought a Boy Scout
Troop to witness the conduct of City government. Mr. Holyoak tnen
appeared before Council seeking permission to utilize the former Min-
asian subdivision, most of which is within the supposed 1,500 foot
health-,striction for septic tanks in relation to City water springs.
It was his contention that the draiaage of the area is away from rather
than toward the particular spring in question. He also contended that
the water produced by the spring was of sufficiently low volume that
the City could discontinue its use without any problems. He cited a
number of residences existing in the area.
At 8:20 P.M., Councilman Hammer rejoined the meeting and was
accompanied by Engineer Keogh.
Councilman Jacobs asserted that he did not believe the Council
should attempt an interpretation of the problem without further con-
sultation with State Health officials.
The Boy Scout troop adjourned at 8:35 P.M.
It was the opinion of the Council to take Mr. Holyoak's request
under advisement until a consultation could be arranged with health
officers Johnson and Storey.

A discussion was held concerning action to be taken in re-
lation to McGill Boulevard. To ease the costs to property own-
ers, Councilman Jacobs suggested eliminating the sidewalk re-
quirement. The other Councilmen agreed and decided to withhold
action until the next regular meeting.
By memorandum, the Council was informed of the necessity
for an official vote canvass on Monday following election day.
It was their desire to hold a special noon meeting for this
purpose.
A memorandum had been submitted to Councilmen relating to
a Civil Defense questionnaire. It was the consensus of the
Council that none of the hazards referred to in the question-
naire were pertinent to the City of Moab.
Councilman Hammer reported he had checked on the Hitching
Post and that Mr. Spinks had taken over the operation. Park-
ing lot graveling was to be done immediately. Parking barri-
cade posts were to be installed by Friday. The City had already
installed the "No Parking" signs on Center Street, north of the
building. He also informed the Council about a confrontation
with a magazine salesman (lady), who objected to City licensing.
The subject of the Police "Hot Line" was brought up, and
Councilman Hammer secured the dispatcher's record log. It was
found that most calls were of a "crank" nature pertaining to
items such as broken curbs, street holes, etc., but nothing
relating to criminal activity.
Councilman Jacobs reported that arrangements had been made
for training instructors for a defensive driving school. The
training session will be in Salt Lake City on October 30 and
31. The initial plans are to train two Highway Patrolmen as
instructors. The City will need to pay their expenses for the
trip to Salt Lake City, but the City can recover costs for the
course through penalties assessed by the court. Driving exami-
ner Bohn had advised he could send persons from Monticello to
this school as they now must travel to Salt Lake City to take
the course. It is anticipated that this activity can be
started by mid -November.
Councilman Peterson had nothing to bring up except questions
about the "Hot Line" activity which prompted the checking of the
dispatcher's log by Councilman Hammer, noted above.
Engineer Keogh reported that all easements pertaining to the
Mill Creek Drive bridge project had been negotiated with the
exception of the First Assembly of God Church, which had to be
forwarded to Salt Lake City for execution. Some had not been
notarized, but he had recorded them and sent them to the State
Highway Engineer, Archie Hamilton, in Price.
Lynn Day reported on work being done searching for valves in
the main water line on 5th West Street to attempt correction of
a low volume water problem.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Hammer and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman

Due to election day falling on November 4, 1975, a special
meeting of the Moab City Council was called to order by Mayor Wm.
Dean McDougald in the Council Chambers at 7:35 P.M. on the above date.
In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs, Hammer, Bonser and Night-
ingale, Attorney Ruggeri, Street and Water Superintendent Day and
Recorder Unger. Councilman Peterson and Engineer Keogh were absent.
Councilman Hammer made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser
and carried, to adopt the minutes of the October 21, 1975 meeting as
submitted.
Mayor McDougald recognized the presence of citizen, James Wise-
man, who stated he had nothing to bring before the Council.
The problem of curb, gutter and paving improvements on McGill
Blvd. between Chinle and 5th West Streets was discussed in addition to
a similar situation on Park Drive east of 5th West Street. Many of
the property owners are proceeding on their own with curb and gutter
installation, one including sidewalk. To relieve the improvement cost,
the Council was willing to follow Councilman Jacobs' suggestion to
delete sidewalks as an improvement requirement on McGill Blvd. When-
ever possible, sewer and water connections to the property line were
to be made. At an appropriate time in the future, the City would
advertise for paving bids to get all paving done at one time. The
First Western National Bank has indicated a willingness to buy a 10-
year bond issue on the improvements at an interest rate appropriate
at the time, but not to exceed 6 1/2%.
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer
and carried, for the City to enter a subscription for Utah Taxpayer

Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Council-
man Bonser and carried to enroll City employees in the #2 plan of
the Utah League of Cities and Towns' (Gem State) medical and
hospital plan, with employees to be called in for a special meet-
ing during their working hours for an explanation of the new plan.
Councilman Jacobs informed the Council the Utah League of
Cities and Towns was to become involved in HUD programs, which
had previously been handled in this area by the Southeastern Utah
Association of Governments.
Councilman Bonser stated monthly police reports were to
be copied and distributed to all Councilmen. He added that about
twelve parking tickets had been issued in the Hitching Post _;ea
in the last month. Additionally, he had attended a meeting of
the Governor's Advisory Board on law enforcement and stated it
was one of the best and most productive meetings he has attended.
Councilman Bonser stated all TV franchises must meet new
FCC regulations, and he hopes our recently executed franchise
meets these regulations.
Councilman Nightingale complained of poor TV reception
and wondered if under the franchise some improvement might be
made. Councilman Bonser stated he would contact the TV people
in this reference.
Councilman Bonser stated that as the newly ordered police
car was to be white and blue in color he would like to have the
one acquired last year repainted to the same colors. A11 of his
bid inquiries were in the same amount, $200.00. Apparently, the
new car will come as white with the blue to be added. Council-
man Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer
and carried, to split the work between the two bidders, J & B
Body Shop and Clair's.
Councilman Jacobs said he would like police follow-up on
the cleanup of the house opposite the Clevers on 1st North
Street with additional action to clear Ralph Dunn's heavy equip-
ment off the street. He also objected to auto repairs h..ing made
on the parking aprun adjacent to the City Park plus trash, gravel
in particular, being spilled on City streets, being left for the
City to cleanup.
Councilman Nightingale had clipped an article relating to
the "Financial Danger Signs" for municipalities. This was repro-
duced and distributed to all Councilmen. He also requested per-
mission to purchase a copy of the City Code book, plus appologiz-
ing for his absence in October.
Councilman Hammer extended an invitation to all officials
to participate in an open house being held by the Fire Department
on November 7 and 8, 1975. He stated the Hitching Post parking
lot had been graveled and that promises had been received concern-
ing other parking problems.
A memorandum submitted to Councilmen prior to the previous
Council meeting concerning Mrs. Evans' request for street lighting
at her gate was discussed. It was noted that street lights on 4th
North Street are evenly spaced. Councilman Hammer suggested the
possibility of an additional light across the street from Mrs.
Evans. Otherwise, she could arrange with the power company for a
yard light of her own.

Councilmen Jacobs and Hammer held a brief discussion concerning
the curb at the Moab Laundry which will require some modification to
improve drainage.
Street and Water Superintendent Day stated the low water volume Water volume,
on 5th West Street was attributed by Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangsgard to 5th West

able work, he had been unable to locate any such valve.

November 20, 1975
A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to
order on the above date at 7:35 P.M. in the Council Chambers by
Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald.
In attendance were the Mayor, Councilmen Jacobs (late),
Nightingale (late), Hammer, Bonser and Peterson, Engineer Keogh,
Councilman -elect Barker, Street and Water Supt. Day, citizens Ames
and Wiseman and Recorder Unger.
The minutes of the November 6, 1975 meeting were corrected
to read J & B Body Shop and Clair's for police car painting instead
of Thompson's. Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by -
Councilman Hammer and carried, to approve the minutes as corrected.
June Tangren, accompanied by Dale Hardin, appeared to com-
plain against the actions of Lynn Ottinger and his tenants toward
Mrs. Tangren such as egg throwing, writing obscenities on her car
and threatening her bodily with a shovel and a knife. In addition,
he allegedly knocked her fence down with a sledge hammer. He is
insisting on a passageway to his property across hers. She has
filed a legal complaint against him in the City Court. Sht .tated
the Judge initially told her she did not need to appear so she was
in a dilemma. The Council informed her the court was the proper
place to get recourse rather than through the Council. Attorney
Ruggeri joined the meeting at 7:55 P.M. and advised Mrs. Tangren
that a court cannot take any legal action without a complaining
witness being present.
Councilman Bonser announced he had met with the Postmaster
and First Security Bank Manager, Dalton, in reference to the drive-
way outdoor mailboxes and the parking area at the Post Office.
With permission from the City, the Post Office proposes to relo-
cate their flagpole to near the curb. In addition, they will
remove some landscaping,•relocate the mailboxes and widen the exit
driveway of the front parking area to permit the use of mailboxes
by vehicles and the passage of vehicles from the parking area.
Street Supt. Day explained a sewer pipe routing problem in
Palisade Subdivision, and the Council concurred with his recom-
mended solution to the problem.
Councilman Jacobs joined the meeting at 8:00 P.M., and
Councilman Nightingale arrived at 8:15 P.M.
Mr. Parmenter, who plans to engage in part-time septic tank
pumping, had requested an audience to discuss the city's dumping
fees. Mr. Parmenter did not appear. Councilman .larnkc volun-
teered to discuss the matter with him and'determine that he was
properly informed concerning dumping regulations.
Douglas White had requested water and sewer hookups for
lots listed in the names of Yakes & White before other improve-
ments are made on McGill Boulevard. He wished to get the con-
nections on a half -payment basis and pay the balance at a later
time. The Recorder was authorized to make this arrangement with
him.
A question had arisen concerning water and sewer rates
assessed against Mary Rees for her residence and one rental.
Councilman Jacobs volunteered to investigate.
The Recorder had submitted a memorandum to the Councilmen
recommending that the Treasurer make a daily cash balance and bank
deposit. On a motion made by Councilman Peterson, seconded by
Councilman Bonser and carried, this recommendation is to be executed.
The question of having a Christmas dinner party for City
employees was raised, and the Mayor said he would take care of the
arrangements.

The Recorder had submitted a memorandum to the Council concern-
ing a temporary permit for an illegal location of a trailer by Wade
Tangren. Councilman Jacobs stated the trailer had been moved.
The Recorder requested permission to pay utility and freight
bills as received to preclude delinquency situations due to the time
interval between Council meetings. As these are regular and standard
expenditures, permission was granted.
Councilman Bonser announced he had met with Mr. Worcester and
the Chief Engineer of the television company. He was told improvements
were necessary for the microwave system, which are planned by the tele-
vision company. They have acquired all necessary microwave equipment
sites except for one in Moab. Bob Ames stated that the technician had
located and was correcting distribution problems of which he was aware.
He added that most distribution problems occur at night and are diffi-
cult to locate in the daytime. He further stated they are seeking an
additional licensed repairman for the cable system. They do have
access to a man from Grand Junction on a one -day call, and he will also
be making once a week visits to Moab.
Councilman Hammer advised that a temporary parking barricade
had been erected at the Hitching Post. He was also disturbed by
flammable liquid vehicles being parked on City streets, adding that
we need to pass a prohibitive ordinance or improve on law enforcement.
Councilman Jacobs added he had observed large trucks improperly parked
at the Greenwell. They had been driven over the curb and were facing
the wrong direction.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Hammer and carried, to pay the bills as submitted with the exception
of the bill for printing additions to the City Code. The Recorder was
to investigate before payment was made.
Councilman Nightingale reported on and distributed letters of
application for the position of City Administrator. The applications
had been received through the Utah League of Cities and Towns. He
planned to duplicate and to distribute all letters to each Councilman
plus placing local advertising for the opening.
Councilman Peterson asked what action had been taken toward
acquiring Moab Irrigation Company water rights. The answer was that
if the Mill Creek Dam becomes a reality the City would probably pur-
chase water from the Grand County Conservancy District.
The Mayor requested authorization to employ Art Maxwell of
Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangsgard to make a study of the cost to the City
for wells and springs to produce four second feet of water. Council-
man Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried, to
grant the request. A general discussion on the water situation follow-
ed.
It was the Mayor's contention that we should have, for the
future, comparative costs of water production from wells, Mill Creek
and the Colorado River.
The forthcoming,hearing before the Public Service Commission
regarding the Utah Power & Light Co. came under discussion. Due to
the potential cost increase to the City for street lighting, in par-
ticular, -t was the consensus of the Council that the City should go
on record in protest of the increase. The Council agreed that the
Mayor should represent the City at the hearing.
As the Council had previously decided to change health and
accident insurance carriers, it was decided to meet with all employees
at 4:00 P.M. on Tuesday, November 25, 1975 to review the newly -proposed
plan.
Engineer Keogh explained the necessity to relocate a city water
main buried in the bottom of Mill Creek to provide clearance for the
construction of the proposed Mill Creek Drive bridge.
He informed the Council that Mrs. Walker had provided easements
for the new roadway location and was interested in having some fencing
done on her property boundary line. There was no discussion, comment
or decision rendered concerning this matter.

A special meeting of the Moab City Council was held on
November 25, 1975 at 7:45 P.M. in the Council Chambers.
In attendance were Mayor McDougald, Councilmen Jacobs,
Hammer and Bonser, Engineer Keogh, County Commissioners Hu.yoak
and Merrill, Utah Department of Transportation Engineer Hamilton
and Recorder Unger.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Mill Creek
Drive bridge, engineering and construction costs plus a County
culvert bridge and widening and surfacing of the roadway to the
County line. The major bridge was estimated to cost $156,000.00,
representing about 50% of the total project, and Mayor McDougald
offered $75,000.00 from the City for the entire project. The
County culvert was estimated to cost 20% of the total and the
roadway 30% of the total. Engineering has totaled just over
$19,000.00. The City desires a walkway on the bridge structure
which may add $1,000.00 to engineering. The City is to take the
responsibility for getting utilities relocated for construction
clearance, which may be reimbursable. Under the mutual funding
agreement, the City has been holding City and County Revenue
Sharing funds in escrow, but it was decided that since engineer-
ing costs had been billed to the County they should take over
the administration of the project.
The State Road Department recommends bidding the three
projects separately but simultaneously.
The meeting closed at 9:00 P.M. by mutual consent.

An employee meeting had been called by the City Council
for this date to explain the health insurance plan offered by the
Utah League of Cities & Towns. Twenty-five employees were in
attendance.
Councilman Bonser explained the proposed plan. He pointed
out differences in the present Blue Cross -Blue Shield insurance
and the proposed plan with regard to benefits and premiums. The
family rate for Blue Cross -Blue Shield is $68.75 compared with
$52.96 for the Utah League plan. The major difference in benefits
161
was pointed out to be in the Major Medical coverage. Upon entering
this category, the patient incurs 20% of the expenses and the insurance
company incurs 80% of the expenses. Under the Utah League Alternate II
the insured is placed in the Major Medical category upon incurring a
total hospital expense of $2,000.00. Under the current Blue Cross -
Blue Shield plan, the patient does not enter the Major Medical category
until the 366th hospital day.
Each employee was then asked which program he would prefer. As Employee vote
the majority of the employees present wished to continue with the Blue
Cross -Blue Shield coverage, Mayor McDougald stated the City would
remain under the present coverage.
Mayor McDougald announced plans for an employee Christmas party Christmas party
to be held on December 23, 1975 at 6:30 P.M. in the Arches Building
with dinner to be served at 7:30 P.M.

A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to order
at 7:40 P.M. in the Council Chambers on the above date by Mayor Wm.
Dean McDougald.
In attendance were the Mayor, Councilmen Jacobs, Nightingale,
Hammer and Peterson, Councilmen -elect Barker and Tomsic, Attorney
Ruggeri, Engineer Keogh, Street and Water Superintendent Day, citizens
Mrs. Cozzens, Mr. Ellis and Mrs. Johnson. Recorder Unger was also
present. Councilman Bonser was absent due to a committee meeting com-
mitment in Salt Lake City.
The minutes of the regular meeting on November 20, 1975 and the
special meetings of November 25, 1975 were approved as submitted on a
motion made by Councilman Hammer, seconded by Councilman Peterson and
carried.
Mrs. Cozzens expressed concern over the curb and gutter install-
ed on the east side of Hillside Drive at Oak Street due to their owner-
ship of property further east on Potash Drive, access to which is
limited to Oak Street. She stated they were not in a hurry to attain
access to develop Potash Drive. Mr. Ellis, representing the owner of
property on Hillside Drive and Oak Street, remarked that if the east-
erly street were not developed there would be very little purpose in
spending r^^ey to open, curb and gutter and pave Oak Street. His
estimate of the cost for this action was $3,000.00 to $4,000.00. He
would be willing to do this when the need arises and would advise any
future purchasers of the property that such an obligation existed.
Councilman Jacobs asked Mr. Ellis if he would be willing to write a
letter of confirmation to the City. To this, Mr. Ellis assented.
Mayor McDougald informed the Council that he was going to
instruct the office to record with the County Recorder all properties
involved in delinquent curb and gutter assessments.
A discussion was held concerning some telephone calls between
the Mayor, Mrs. Gilliland and Councilman Jacobs concerning property
with an easement with a 4" sewer line in it. The sewer line runs from
the main to the east side of the Gilliland property, approximately
five feet south of the property to the James Draper property, east of
the Gilliland property. Mrs. Gilliland was inquiring concerning the

existence of an easement for this line. She was told that one
existed, but the records show none. At one time, Ray Branscom
held a deed showing an easement. This property was transferred
to the Independent Lumber Company without the easement being filed.
No one has determined that the sewer was ever used. Mr. Ellis
attending the meeting and representing Independent Lumber Company
stated that he would check on the situation.
Councilman Hammer reported that the Recreation Board was
seeking driveways to a proposed parking lot area east of the
Middle School Shop Building plus a driveway off Center Street,
midway in the ball park block. He was informed that the City had
previously agreed to provide the driveways to the parking lot but
was waiting for the school authorities to indicate the desired
driveway locations. Some of the Councilmen raised objections
to cutting the Center Street curb on the south side for a driveway
as the gutter in this area serves as a storm drain, and it was
thought that a driveway existed on 2nd East Street into the Ba11
Park grounds which could be used. Councilman Hammer agreed to
consult further with the Recreation Board to resolve the questions
raised. It was generally agreed to establish parallel parking on
Center Street in the block involved.
Councilman Hamner acknowledged the receipt of an apparent
form news distribution from the new officers of the Humane Society.
He also announced the Fire District regrading and stated that the
District would follow with written comments. The City is requested
to notify the Fire Department and Inspection Service when the water
volume problem on 5th West Street is corrected.
Virginia Johnson appeared before the Council displaying a
map of a street easement known as Arroyo Road, which passes
through the Johnson property and requested that a portion of the
street be deeded back to the Johnsons. There was doubt among the
Councilmen that this street would ever be built, and if so, the
original 100 foot width would not be required. It could be re-
duced to a width of 66 feet. Councilman Jacobs made a motion,
seconded by Councilman Nightingale and carried, to quit claim
deed the unrequired portion to the Johnsons. Accordingly, a deed
was to be drawn under a description prepared by Engineer Keogh
as follows:
Beginning at a point (not set) which bears
South 1,823.8 feet and East 6.8 feet from the North-
west corner of Section 1, Township 26 South, Range
21 East, Salt Lake Meridian, said point being on the
record North line of Arroyo Road. Proceeding thence
North 88 33' East 1,013.0 feet along the record
North line of Arroyo Road to a point (not set); thence
South 82u 34' W8st 28.8 feet to a cedar fence post;
thence South 85 24' West306.7 feed along a fence to
a cedar fence post; thence South 71 35' West 15.3

North 73 41' West 30.0 feet along 8 a fence line to a

on the East side of 500 West Street; thence North 0
34' East 3.3 feet along a fence line on the East side
of 500 West Street to the point of beginning.
Councilman Hammer further noted the appreciation of the Fire
District for equipment funding which had been provided by the City.
He then asked how many fire hydrants were available in the City's
stock to provide what he understood was to be the installation of
three additional hydrants per year, at locations apparently not
presently designated. Water Superintendent Day stated that the
City carries one spare hydrant for emergencies.
The Mayor and Councilmen expressed their appreciation for
the work of the volunteers in the Fire District.
Councilman Jacobs indicated that there was some doubt about
the future status of the Economic Development District. The City
Offices are presently overcrowded, and if there is a change in the
handling of the District, he would like to have the City reacquire
the office space now being used by them and have other quarters
provided by the County.
163
He also led a lengthy discussion on the definitions of house
trailers, modular homes and dwellings in reference to clearing of
building permits and tax values. He had discussed the permit facet by
telephone with Jesse Payne, Chief Inspector for the State of Utah, and
learned that an assistant was to be in Moab on the following Friday and
might possibly be able to clarify the situation insofar as City permits
was concerned.
Councilman Nightingale informed the Council of a legal fee in-
curred in the Sun Valley Key subsidy case. The total fee was $2,400.00,
of which $1,000.00 is to be paid by Economic Development. The Chairman
of the Grand County Commission had committed the County to $700.00, and
Councilman Nightingale suggested that the City also pay $700.00. Council-
man Peterson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer and carried,
to accept the above obligation.
Councilman Nightingale recommended that the Council approve the
1975 audit report of E. J. Claus and commend him on a job well done.
Councilman Nightingale made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Hammer and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
Councilman Nightingale requested an additional month in which to
select a new Administrator so the holiday season would not conflict with
making personal interviews. The retiring Councilmen -agreed to continue
CI their efforts on this project. The time extension would then place the
d" newly -elected Councilmen in a voting position. The Mayor volunteered
m the present Recorder for an additional month of employment. Copies of
job applications have not yet been distributed to the Councilmen for
Cam? evaluation.
Councilman Jacobs stated that he is in favor of selecting an
applicant with previous experience rather than a recent graduate.
Councilman Peterson asked about the action on the "hot line". "Hot Line"
Councilman Hammer retired to the dispatcher's office to get the infor-
mation. He reported an average of one call per four days during the
past month. Apparently none of these calls required or received police
action, nor did they create any disturbance in the dispatcher's office.
Engineer Keogh reported on the desired location of the flagpole Post Office
and outside mailboxes by the Post Office. After some discussion, he
suggested giving the Post Office a lease on the full curb -to -sidewalk
frontage, and it was the consensus that the Post Office should solve
their own problems by selecting desired locations for the items involv
The Mayor related the delinquent curb and gutter situation with Curb and gutter
the McMullens, who had purchased property from James Hudson and received
a no -encumbrance Warranty Deed to the property. The McMullens paid the
$285.00 principal amount of the assessment, and the Mayor agreed to
excuse the unapid interest of $94.05 and make an attempt to collect it
from Hudson. Councilman Hammer made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Nightingale and carried, to support the Mayor in this action.

A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to
order at 7:35 P.M. in the Council Chambers on the above date by
Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald.
In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs, Hammer, Bonser and
Peterson, Councilman -elect Barker, Attorney Ruggeri, Engineer
Keogh, Street and Water Supt. Day, several citizens and Recorder
Unger. Councilman Nightingale was absent.
A motion was made by Councilman Jacobs, seconded by Council-
man Hammer and carried, to approve the minutes of the meeting of
December 2, 1975 as submitted.
Judy Hyita made a personal presentation and bid for paint
at the swimming pool, deck, sides and bottom. The paint price was
$21.95 per gallon to cover 200 square feet. A nonskid additive
would be furnished in addition to any necessary caulking material.
The paint is to carry a 5-year guarantee. For application, the
surface should be prepared by sandblasting. Application can be
made by spray, brush or roller. Of the latter two, standard
equipment is not suitable. Reportedly, Flagstaff had used the
material, Sav-Cot, in a commercial swimming pool and also had
been applied to a pool in Phoenix seven years ago. The Mayor asked
for written confirmation of these applications.
Although ahead of the scheduled time, but due to the fact
that Mr. C. S. Thomson was in attendance, the Mayor presented Mr.
Thomson's request for rezoning which had been approved by the Plan-
ning Commission. There being no apparent objections, Councilman
Hammer made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser and carried,
to grant the rezoning request. Mr. Thomson asked for a letter of
confirmation to him for submittal to the FHA. The Mayor agreed to
provide the letter.
The point was raised that Mrs. June Tangren appeared to be
under the false impression that the City had engaged Attorney
Ruggeri to correct the alleged wrongs being done to her by Mr.
Lin Ottinger. It was further stated that she had filed criminal
charges against Mr. Ottinger through Attorney Benge for the de-
struction of property and that she was seeking a restraining order
to prevent any further actions by Mr. Ottinger. Attorney Ruggeri
stated that any action or results would be up to the Judge. The
Mayor stated that he would call her to clarify the matter and
attempt to have her keep her emotions under control while in court.
County Commissioner Holyoak appeared before Council request-
ing water service for lots facing Duchesne Avenue in Grand View
Subdivision. He was advised that previously Mrs. Bently had been
informed that the requirement established by the Council was that
the property owner pay for the cost of a 6" water meter to be
installed at the main tap to take water at the county commercial
rate with distribution and individual metering to be done by the
developer or an organized group of property owners being responsi-
ble for maintenance and cnllections in the area being serve.
He made a further request that the abandoned Robin's Nest
Trailer court be made available for use again as a trailer
court. Under the new zoning ordinance, it will not conform. This
is about the fourth attempt by a realtor to reactivate the area.
The Mayor suggested that it be taken under advisement.
Mr. Curtis Young appeared in reference to the Thomson rezon-
ing request. When he was informed that the application did not
concern his property, he stated that he was not concerned about it
and departed.
The Mayor stated that he had discussed the Post Office park-
ing situation further with Postmaster Knight. It was decided to
have Attorney Ruggeri prepare a lease for ground to be used by the
Postal Department to reinstall the flagpole and outdoor mailboxes.
Councilman Bonser, who had been reviewing the City's licens-
ing ordinance, requested some suggestions from the Council. Most
of the thrust desired by the Councilmen is to protect local business
operations against transient merchants. They object to flat fees as
165
a solution. Councilman -elect Barker noted that the County was making a
similar study. Councilman Bonser advised that he had discussed the
situation with County Commission Chairman D. L. Taylor.
Councilman Hammer said he felt a serious fire problem existed at
the Shields' property on North Main Street. The Mayor stated he thought
the Fire Department could take action toward removal of the building.
Councilman Hammer also said that Recreation Director Richeson had
asked for a driveway into the Little League ball field off from Center
Street. Other Councilmen pointed out that a driveway exists from 2nd
East Street and that a gate there would provide vehicular access to the
field.
As this was Councilman Hammer's last official meeting, he made a
brief departure talk in which he expressed the pleasure of his experience
and the enjoyment of working with the present City Council.
Councilman Jacobs voiced his frustration in attempts to get clari-
fication concerning the use and proper inspection of modular homes.
Confirmation of the employment of Inspector Burr by the City of Ephraim
was dated 1973. He would like to see this updated. Attorney Ruggeri
suggested that a bond be furnished by the manufacturer to the effect that
Ephraim -built structures meet the Moab City Building Code, which is the
Uniform Building Code prepared by the International Conference of Build-
ing Officials. Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Hammer and carried, to ask any manufacturer of this type structure to
furnish such a bond, if the inspector who certifies the structure does
not meet Moab City requirements.
Councilman Peterson had a question concerning the new location of
outdoor mailboxes at the Post Office. Other than granting the use of
City property at the curb, there did not seem to be any specific infor-
mation available.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Peterson
and carried, to pay the bills as submitted. It was noted that electrical
billings have escalated considerably.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer
and carried, to rescind that portion of the minutes of November 6, 1975
in reference to the changing'of insurance carriers for employees'
medical and hospital insurance.
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Hammer
and carried, to give water payment delinquents a five-day shut off
notice by telephone and follow up with the shut off without any written
notice or contact with the customer by City employees.
At 10:10 P.M., Councilman Hammer made a motion, seconded by
Councilman Jacobs and carried, for adjournment.

Former Councilman Nightingale, who had been appointed by
the Mayor to a committee to secure a City Administrator, reported
he had received a number of written applications and had inter-
viewed two applicants, who came to Moab on their own time and
expense. He was anticipating two more interviews in the near
future. One applicant, Shane Luck, had written expressing
appreciation for his treatment during his visit to Moab for the
interview. He also had provided a supplement to his original
resume and requested a second interview. Mr. Nightingale indi-
cated he was favorably impressed by Mr. Luck. Mr. Nightingale
stated that in July, 1975, Mike Sanders had made an application
in person for the position.
The Mayor announced he had discussed the position by tele-
phone with Mr. Thomas H. Barry, an attorney in Florida, who would
like to relocate in Moab. Mayor McDougald had a favorable opinion
of Mr. Barry.
Mr. Nightingale said he would attempt to accelerate the
activity. The Mayor suggested holding back on the possibility
of receiving some applications from California.
County Commissioner, Dan Holyoak, again appeared before
the Council in the interest of trying to make the Robin's Nest
Trailer Court again available for trailer use. He stated he
had showed the property to the two new Councilmen. He alsu
stated he had a letter signed by adjacent property owners, who
favored his proposed activity. It was the consensus of the
Council that the proper route for Mr. Holyoak to take was to
apply to the Planning Commission for rezoning. If successful,
he should then go to the Board of Adjustment to seek a variance
on the area requirements for a trailer park.
Attorney Ruggeri joined the meeting at 7:55 P.M.
In a previous meeting, a zoning change request from C. S.
Thomson was approved by a motion. Councilman Bonser made a
motion, seconded by Councilman Barker and carried, to adopt

of late payment on water bills and bring suggestions to the
Council for corrective measures.
Councilman Peterson asked permission to place an advertise-
ment in a University of California publication for the City Admini-

would take about thirty days to get the ad published and results
back from it.
The Mayor stated he would set up a closed meeting with the
Water Conservancy District in reference to possible Mill Creek

The minutes of the regular meeting held on January 6, 1976 were
approved as submitted on a motion made by Councilman Bonser, seconded
by Councilman Barker and carried.
A request for a beer license and cabaret license by Mr. and Mrs.
Shelton to be operated under the name of the Hideaway (formerly the
Towne & Country Club) was reviewed. The applicants were not present.
Mr. Bill Hines representing hemself, Carl Sabo, the Atomic Motel
and the Moab Motel appeared in protest of the application. It was his
contention that such an operation at that location should be considered
a nuisance, it being directly across the street from the library, one
block from a school and a source of noise.
Mr. Paul Manicia, representing the Tavern Owners Association,
also protested the additional license on the basis that there are now
ten such establishments in Moab and he believes there is insufficient
business to support all of them. He also noted that one such establish
ment had been under three ownerships during the past five years. He
felt the number permitted should be regulated on a population basis.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Barker
and carried, to take the matter under advisement.
Councilman Bonser requested a check on the date the Council had
previously voted to restrict the number of licenses, information on the
date Mrs. Beck had been granted a beer license for the Towne and Countr
and also on the date that the Steen license had been issued.
A request for a beer license from Mr. Lynn Pauley dba. Silver
Dollar was reviewed. Mr. Pauley was present accompanied by Attorney
Harry Snow. No police clearance on the application was given. Mr.
Pauley apologized to the Council for his condition in previous appear-
ances before them. Attorney Snow stated that Mr. Pauley was no longer
drinking. Mr. Pauley stated his wife was to operate the business
assisted by Mrs. Day. Attorney Snow said Mr. Pauley was employed full
time at Atlas Minerals and planned to continue with the employment.
Chief Dalton stated Mr. Pauley had no control over customer actions
during the previous operation and in his opinion the women would have
no greater capacity. Councilman Barker asked how much previous experi-
ence Mrs. Pauley had in operating such a business. The response was
twelve years and that she was to be assisted by Jerry and Donna Day.
Councilman Tomsic stated she could not understand how a woman should be
expected to be able to improve on the operation.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser
and carried, to deny the request.
Mr. Ray Klepzig appeared before Council seeking permission to
install a gas storage facility underground in the vicinity of 5th West
and Cane Creek Boulevard near where an operating brine well exists. Hs.
stated he needed a letter of approval from the City to present to the
Utah State authorities to secure state permission for the operation.
The truck loading and unloading facility is to be located in a small
canyon west of the street intersection. Councilman Bonser made a motion
seconded by Councilman Barker, to approve the operation with the pro-
vision that no structures would be erected to the south of the loading
facility facing Mountain View Subdivision. The motion carried.
The Mayor introduced the subject of modular homes as regulated
by the zoning ordinance. Mr. Jake Henningson, representing Bunnell
Mobile Homes, stated they had not yet delivered any such structures
into Moab but needed to know what requirements had to be met. Building
Inspector Shaffer had examined a set of drawings submitted by the manu-
facturer and had submitted a written list of deficiencies under the
Universal Building Code, which is the building code adopted by the City.
This list was presented to Mr. Henningson, who said he would check with
the manufacturer concerning their capabilities toward meeting the re-
quired code. He was also requested to determine why the manufacturer
was not a licensed contractor under Utah State regulations. It was the
opinion of Attorney Ruggeri that these structures were trailer houses
under a different name and that it is the responsibility of the Council
to determine the type of homes desired in Moab.

Councilman Barker raised some questions concerning the
Parks Department budget, which was discussed briefly. She
also had some comments and suggestions for the Mayor when he
attends the Utah Power and Light rate hearings to protest the
proposed increases on behalf of the City.
Councilman Bonser asked what could be done about the
demolished building behind the Husky Oil Service Station.
Councilman Jacobs stated the fallen trees which wrecked the
building had been removed but that no response had ever been
received from Husky Oil Company owners in Wyoming concerning
the abandoned equipment on vacant ground adjacent to the
service station property. He was in doubt that they could be
prevailed upon to do other essential cleanup work. Councilman
Bonser also announced he had withdrawn his application for the
post of City Administrator.
Councilman Jacobs stated a typewriter was needed for
staff use on the "Slick Rock" project. Since it would only
be needed for four or five months, he would consider a used
IBM, which could be maintained under contract with the balance
of the City -owned machines. It could later be turned over to
the Police Department or shop office.
He added that the record keeping for this project was
satisfactory to the Southeastern Utah Association of Governments
and the Four Corners Commission.
Councilman Tomsic made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Barker and carried, to purchase the aforementioned typal.-iter.
Councilman Jacobs stated the amount of old cars on the
streets was on the increase, as well as illegal truck parking.
In reference to water and sewer, he said the department
is in need of a new pickup. The utility fund finances are to
be checked in reference to the expenditure. If the fund is
deficient, it may be necessary to consider a rate increase.
Councilman Tomsic requested a meeting with the Mayor to
review her assigned duties. She also had some questions con-
cerning zoning regulations under which Ray Alger was denied a
building permit to expand a nonconforming building. It was sug-
gested that the affected property owners seek rezoning of the
property involved.
She had also prepared a proposal of a remedy for animal
control, dogs in particular. Unfortunately, some of the other
Councilmen had previously tried the proposal without success.
The Mayor distributed some information on Revenue Sharing
and requested a resolution for mailing to Utah Congressmen and
Senators, as suggested by the Utah League of Cities and Towns.
Councilman Barker made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bonser
and carried, to have Attorney Ruggeri prepare the resolution.
The Mayor also requested a salary increase Tor Judy Marshall
to $550.00 per month and a wage increase for Connie Sheffer to
$2.50 per hour. The increases were to be retroactive to January 1,
1976. Councilman Barker made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Jacobs and carried, to allow the increases as requested.
Councilman Tomsic made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Bonser and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
The Mayor requested endorsement of State Senate Bill 22.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Barker
and carried, to provide the endorsement pending approval of
the City Attorney.
Engineer Keogh advised the Council of the need for addi-
tional flood control ordinances.

Street and Water Supt. Day, Recorder Unger and a number of citizens.
The minutes of the regular meeting held on January 20, 1976 were

by Councilman Barker, and carried.
Copies of a letter submitted by Jacque and Bill Shelton in sup-
port of their request for a Class 1 beer license were distributed to
the Councilmen. A copy of the letter is included below in these minutes
REQUEST FOR CABARET AND CITY BEER LICENSE
LOCATION: Back of Arches building
(Formerly known as the Town & Country Club)
Gentlemen,
It is not our desire to run or operate a private -type club in these
facilities, as had been done in the past. Our plans are to make a
dinner -dance club type of operation, and to cater, serve, and accomo-
date a noon luncheon for business people, tourists, and etc. We plan
to fix the facilities up for a supper club, where local residents and
others will have some place they can be proud of to bring their wives
and other guests to enjoy a nice supper, as well as dance.
It is our desire to periodically have a band to add to the enjoyment
of patrons, and to run a clean, well -supervised facility. It is our
intention to keep down as much noise as possible and to invite any
boisterous or trouble -makers to leave. We are agreed to cooperate with
our surrounding neighbors with any noise and parking problems.
We feel that this is a growing community, and that it would be an asset
to have this type of operation in Moab. We will cooperate with local
law -enforcement officers and other officials in every way possible to
see that a legitimate and well -run operation will be run.
We have both been raised in Moab, and wish to start a business that we
feel will better our community. We feel that a nice place to dine and
dance will be something Moab will be proud of.
We are sorry that we missed the last City Council meeting, but we were
unaware that we were to be there to present our side in this matter.
We would appreciate any consideration in granting this request.
Sincerely,
Jacque and Bill Shelton
Verbally Mrs. Shelton supported the need for a Class 1 license
to control the exclusion of underage patrons. Joe May stated that in
1974 when he was called in for a special meeting with the Council con-
cerning problems related to his establishment he understood that the
Council took a stand against issuing any more Class 1 beer licenses.
The Mayor had a copy of the minutes of this special meeting, dated
August 26, 1974 which stated that it was the consensus of the Council
that no new licenses should be issued. However, no formal action had
been taken in that respect. The point of inadequate parking for the
proposed location was raised. Mr. Shelton stated that the Food Town
parking area was at their disposal and patrons would be directed to it
by signs and announcements. Joe May stated he could see no need for
an additional (or replacement) Class 1 license or a cabaret license.
Councilman Barker then read the above -noted letter from the Sheltons.
Joe May made the statement that the City of Price was issuing licenses
on a population basis. Mrs. Shelton said there was no other operation
available in Moab such as they were proposing. The Mayor suggested
using a Class 2 license and enforcing age limits as other food establish-
ents do. Joe May siad that restaurants serving beer have no problems.
Ralph Miller, Jr. spoke in behalf of the Sheltons because of his
interest in leasing the building and stated he was making the Food Town

parking lot available. Someone remarked that the City of Price
was not necessarily a good example to follow. Another remark
was that the T & C location was one of the original entertain-
ment spots in Moab. Ralph Miller pointed out that the restric-
tion of numbers by population could also apply to other businesses.
The Mayor countered with the statement that a beer license was a
privilege and not comparable to a regular business license. Mr.
Mancina spoke in favor of restricting numbers, adding that he
would welcome a good restaurant, but that running a cabaret and
selling beer would make it impossible to do a good job of serv-
ing food. Councilman Peterson stated he understood most prob-
lems occurred after the 2 A.M. closing hour. Mrs. Beck said
there were not as many problems as people have been led to
believe. The discussion reverted back to the early days of the
century when the location under discussion was the site of the
Woodman's Hall, a popular entertainment spot. The adjacent
neighbor, Bill Hines, stated he would have no objection to the
place if it were properly operated. This was a different stance
than he had taken at the previous Council meeting. The Moab
Motel representative stated her greatest objection was the park-
ing situation and the noise of people getting into their cars.
When asked, Chief of Police Dalton said the City Council could
regulate the parking. Mr. Shelton said he had talked to the
neighbors and that their prime concern was noise after 2 A.M.
Mrs. Beck said that since she had stopped operating the facility
many people had asked, "When will the T & C reopen?".
Councilman Barker asked that the request again be taken
under advisement as the Council had learned nothing about regu-
lation by population.
Mrs. Shelton asked if a holder of a Class 1 license sold
out, would the new owner be denied a license under the population -
regulation recommendation.
Ralph Miller said he felt the applicants should get a yes
or no answer without awaiting further study. He also commented
that the discussion could go on indefinitely.
Because she felt there was no real guiding regulation in
existence, Councilman Tomsic made a motion to grant the license.
Councilman Barker seconded the motion on the basis of the
applicants proving their capabilities and the Council making a
study for future guidance. Councilman Peterson voted in favor
of the motion with the stipulation that the applicants be fully
aware that if problems developed the license would be revoked.
Councilman Bonser voted no. Councilman Jacobs abstained from
voting.
The Mayor announced that a similar situation still
existed, at which time he informed the Council concerning an
application from Donna M. Day dba. Silver Dollar for a Class 1
beer license. Councilman Tomsic made a motion to permit for
the same reasons as above. The motion was seconded by Council-
man Peterson and carried, with Councilman Jacobs abstaining.
Councilman Barker made a motion, seconded by Counciim.^
Tomsic, that the Council not consider any future beer license
applications until a Council study had been made. Councilman
Jacobs abstained. As the vote resulted in a tie, the Mayor
voted, voting yes.

Peterson and carried, to accept the low bid of Crane Supply Co.
subject to engineering approval of specifications.
Councilman Jacobs opened bids as follows for a 3/4-ton pickup
cab and chassis for the Water Department:
Gaither Chevrolet and Pontiac $4,100.00
(No delivery date specified)
Peterson Ford $3,986.00
(Delivery 4-6 weeks)
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Barker,
to accept the low bid of Peterson Ford. Councilman Peterson abstained
from voting.
Councilman Jacobs stated he had approved the canceling of sewer
fees for Campark in December of 1975 and January of 1976, due to the
business being closed during one month and a lack of business during
the other month.
The practice was questioned in relation to the method of handl-
ing charges for similar operations. The Mayor appointed Councilmen
Jacobs and Tomsic to make a study of the situation and to recommend a
procedure to be adopted by the Council for instruction to the water and
sewer billing department. It was the feeling of Councilman Bonser that
when an operation is open for business they should pay the regular fees.
M David May appeared before Council representing the Southeastern
da Utah Fine Arts Guild. He stated they were forming a new group to be
00 known as the Bicentennial Chorus, who wished to sponsor a performance
A of the Utah Symphony in Moab. The contract cost for the Symphony is
U $1,000.00. The sponsoring group has exhausted their funds which ',ad
V been built up in past years by volunteer subscription and expended for
previous concerts. The scheduled date this year would be in seven
weeks, which would not allow much time to organize and operate a fund
drive. Assistance was requested from the City in the amount of $400.00
to offset an anticipated deficit. Discussion was held concerning the
facilities (high school gymnasium) in which the concert is to be held
as well as admission prices. The Council recommended an increase in
admission prices as a means of reducing the possible deficit. Council-
man Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Peterson and carried,
to allow up to $400.00, if needed, with an increase in admission fees.
Mr. Doug Ames of Town TV introduced Mr. Don Lyndon, newly
employed by Town TV as a microwave expert and to be involved in main-
tenance of the cable distributing system. Mr. Lyndon explained that
some of the recent problems experienced in TV reception were the result
of effects of temperature changes on microwave transmission. The
microwave license of the telephone company will expire in February
1977, at which time, or prior to which, the parent company, United
Cable, plans to have their own microwave system in operation. Tower
sites have been selected and will require EPA and BLM approval. One
long span in the telephone company system will be reduced to two shorter
spans, which should reduce the temperature effects on transmission. Mr.
Lyndon, who has been here only two weeks, said that some maintenance of
the cable system had fallen in arrears and he was attempting to catch
up on work which needs to be done.
Mr. Kenneth Bailey, representing Hal -Ken Homes of mondcello,
builders of one-piece modular homes, appeared before the Council seek-
ing permission to move a second unit, nearing completion, into Moab.
Distrihjtion of these units is done through A11 American Realty Co.
There has been a question of this type unit meeting the Uniform Build-
ing Code, which is the building code adopted by Moab. Mr. Bailey
stated that an FHA inspector makes two inspections during a unit con-
struction for FHA and VA. A memorandum on this type of inspection was
submitted to Council prior to this meeting. He added that the Monti-
cello City Building Inspector also inspects construction. Monticello
is planning to join the International Conference of Building Officials
(author of the Uniform Building Code) and get its inspector accredited
as a Class A inspector under the building code regulations. One home
was recently delivered to Moab from this plant without the ICBO
certification tag of approval. Getting it off the manufacturer's
truck was somewhat of an emergency necessity, so the Mayor directed our
Building Inspector to approve its acceptance. The manufacturer con-
tends that he builds two at a time and has the second one nearly com-
pleted, so for economic reasons he was requesting Council permission
to deliver it. He stated that no further homes would be built without
the required inspection for Moab but hopes he will not have to lay off
any of his crew awaiting Monticello clearance with the International

Conference of Building Officials. Mr. Bailey stated his homes
are built with the same quality construction as if built on
the homesite location. He prefers using the City's or other
outside inspectors rather than being involved in the conflict
of interest situation should he or any of his employees be
delegated to place approval on a structure. His next unit
will be ready for delivery within ten days, but a permit is
needed for foundation.
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Barker and carried, to permit this second unit without ICBO
certification.
Roy Maki and Jake Henningson appeared before Council in
reference to a permit which had been refused for a two-piece
home purchased by Mr. Maki. He was issued a basement permit
with the provision that the building be certified prior to use.
This unit was manufactured in Ephraim, and there has been no
indication that certification would be available from there.
Mr. Maki stated he had visited the factory and was satisfied
with the construction without certification.
Councilman Barker made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Bonser and carried, to issue the permit with the understand-
ing that Mr. Maki would accept the structure at his own risk
and not hold the City of Moab liable for any defects. Mr. Maki
agreed. Additionally, the motion stated that any manufacturer
bringing prebuilt homes into Moab must be certified as meeting
the Uniform Building Code.
Councilman Bonser introduced a discussion on pay pract;_,.s
for holidays. It was his contention that City policemen should
receive holiday pay, meaning regular rate of pay for a holiday
not worked, and the same for a holiday worked plus regular pay
for working. This appeared to meet the approval of the Council.
There was no motion or vote concerning it.
He stated his belief in the need for a traffic semaphore
on Main Street at 3rd East. It was his intention, following
discussion, to approach the Utah State Department of Transpor-
tation Com issioner,Sam Taylor, concerning the problem.
Councilman Bonser requested information on the status of
bids for the Mill Creek Drive Bridge project. He was advised
that Grand County is handling the project.
Councilman Bonser stated Chief of Police Dalton was
attempting to secure one trained police officer to fill a vacancy
in the department. This would save the City considerable money
relating to the training program in addition to the fact that the
Utah training facilities are about 14-months behind in being able
to accept enrollments.
Councilman Jacobs stated he felt the Council should hold
executive sessions prior to open meetings concerning beer license
applications, with the same practice to be allowed in reference
to making contributions.
Councilman Peterson brought up no new problems but took
over the files on nuisance problems from the Recorder.
Councilman Tomsic had no commentary except to request an
audience with the Mayor to check out the duties of her various
areas of assignment.
Councilman Barker stated Rod Phillips had some playground
equipment he would donate for park usage. It was suggested that
she seek the approval of the State Safety Inspector before accept-
ing the equipment.
She requested information as to whom she should turn to
secure information on funds for the parks and swimming pool.
Councilman Bonser assisted her by showing her a copy of the budget.
Councilman Barker made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Jacobs and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
Councilman Jacobs said he was scheduled to attend a meet-
ing in Salt Lake City on February 5, 1976, about air service
subsidies.
The Mayor requested the Council pass a resolution to the Public
Service Commission in protest of granting the final 40% of the 19% rate
increase requested. The City Attorney will be requested to draft the
resolution.

In attendance were Councilman Jacobs, Peterson, Barker and
Tomsic, Attorney Ruggeri, Street and Water Superintendent Day and
Recorder Unger. Absent were Mayor McDougald, Councilman Bonser and
Engineer Keogh.
The minutes of the regular meeting held on February 3, 1976
were approved as submitted on a motion made by Councilman Peterson,
seconded by Councilman Tomsic, and carried.
Chairman Jacobs recognized Dr. B. A. Broughton, representing
the local chapter of the Utah State Humane Society. Doctor Broughton
introduced Mr. John Fox, Chief Investigator of the Utah State Humane
Society. Mr. Fox's subject was a coyote incident which occurred
recently in Moab. He presented a letter covering the subject and re-
quested the City to amend its animal control ordinance to include
coyotes and other wild animals noted in the letter. A copy of the
letter is inserted as a part of these minutes.

Mayor William D. McDougald
Moab City Council
Moab, Utah 84532
Dear Mayor McDougald:
A recent incident involving the injury of a 2 2 year old boy by
a coyote, being confined as a pet, has prompted the Society to request
the Council to consider reevaluating local ordinances.
The Humane Society of Utah believes that most wild animals make
unsuitable pets under virtually all circumstances. Very few individuals
are equipped to properly maintain wildlife in the home environment. We
define wildlife as being any animal not genetically controlled over long
periods of time and spanning many generations of the species, thereby
becoming domesticated and adaptable to the human environment.
In all cases we are opposed to the keeping of wildlife that w111
suffer by capture and confinement in the "so called pet category".
There would be little question as to the conflict of maintaining wild-
life which are potentially harmful or dangerous as transmitters of

Commendation to

Nightingale
Although Utah State Statutes do not prohibit the indi-
vidual confinement of certain species of wildlife, under re-
stricted circumstances, including the coyote, there are statutes
declaring wildlife to be the property of the State (Section
23-13-3). In addition it is unlawful for any person to utilize
wildlife as a commercial venture for monetary gain. This makes
it illegal for individuals to sell wildlife in the majority of
instances (Section 23-13-3).
We would suggest amendments to your local Ordinances
prohibiting the future confinement of wildlife by Moab residents.
This could be accomplished by simply adding a definition of wild
animals and section regulating such. For example:
Definition - WILD ANIMAL: Any live monkey (non -human primate),
raccoon, skunk, fox, poisonous snake, leopard, panther,
tiger, lion, lynx, or any other warmblooded animal which
can normally be found in the wild state;
Section - KEEPING OF WILD ANIMALS: (a) No person shall keep
or permit to be kept on his premises any wild or vicious
animal for display or for exhibition purposes, whether
gratuitously or for a fee. This section shall not be
construed to apply to zoological parks, performing
animals exhibitions, or circuses.
(b) No person shall keep or permit to be kept any wi12
animal as a pet.
Although there may be a question as to constitutionality
of prohibiting the retainership of citizens who currently own
coyotes, etc., provisions to register such could be made
currently, therefore giving the City a record on which to enforce
the new Ordinances.
If we may be of further assistance please feel free to
contact our office.
With kindest regards,
/s/ Lonnie L. Johnson
Executive Director
LLJ/jb
It was stated that the Humane Society has an interest in
protecting animals as well as humans and further that if a public
officer cannot kill an animal he must cite any known situations.
Mr. Fox said he thought Moab has a good animal ordinance, in
which citizens can file a legal complaint against an animal
owner pertaining to nuisances. Councilman Tomsic asked about
the use of tranquilizer guns to capture an animal. Mr. Fox
explained that tranquilizer usage has to be carefully controlled
in relation to the size of the animal but that traps can be used
satisfactorily. He thinks the local veterinarian is doing a good
job with the dog pound in that he has been quite successful in
fi—ling homes for stray dogs.
Councilman Jacobs reviewed the City animal ordinance and
said he would entertain a motion for the City Attorney to update
the City ordinance to include coyotes and all wild animals. A
motion to so act was made by Councilman Barker, seconded by
Councilman Tomsic, and carried.
Former Councilman Nightingale, who was on the administrator
selection committee, appeared to discuss, if necessary, the
progress in this search. He was informed concerning the special
Council meeting on the previous day and the results therefrom.
Councilman Barker made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Tomsic and carried, to commend Mr. Nightingale on his efforts
and to write him a letter of commendation.
Mr and Mrs. "Curley" Jones appeared to renew previous complaints
about the operation of the Hitching Post. Councilman Jacobs stated he
had been by there at about 11:00 P.M. on the previous Saturday. He
stated the parking situation was bad but that he was not aware of any
undue noise reaching the street. Mr. Jones said that at 1:00 A.M. that
same night he could hear the music (noise) in his bedroom, which is on
the opposite side of the building from the Hitching Post. The Joneses
said that Farmers, neighbors on the opposite side, had called the
police about two weeks previously to get the noise curtailed. This was
not checked on the dispatcher's record. Mrs. Jones stated a 16-year
old, son of the operators, was drummer in the orchestra and not only
beats loudly but also yells and whistles. She questioned the legality
of his presence in the place. This question was not answered. Mr.
Jones showed some pictures he had taken of cars parked on the lot belon.
ing to the beauty shop. Councilman Barker commented that parking is a
problem both on private property and on marked City streets. Councilman
Jacobs stated that the business operator cannot control parking or noise
outside the business building. Further than canceling the cabaret
license might be a problem. However, canceling the beer license might
help relieve the situation. Mr. Jones said the situation is now worse
than it was a year ago when he started complaining. Councilman Peterson
commented that the beer license had been originally issued to Hank's
Billiards, then again to the Hitching Post when the business changed
hands. Attorney Ruggeri emphasized a beer license can be revoked with-
out cause but that it would probably put the operators out of business.
Councilman Peterson asked if such an operation could serve setups with-
C7 out a beer license. Attorney Ruggeri responded in the affirmative.
di The Attorney indicated he thought it would be necessary to hold a hear-
M ing to revoke a cabaret license. Councilman Barker said she felt that
C.?a businessman is obligated to meet any agreements he made in reference
V to the conduct of his business. Councilman Peterson voiced the opinion
that removal of the beer license would not stop the cabaret, which seems
to be the source of most of the problems. Councilman Tomsic asked if
the City has a noise law. Attorney Ruggeri answered yes, but enforce-
ment would require a hearing. Councilman Tomsic also asked if it were
necessary to call the police to have behicles towed away from private
property. Councilman Jacobs responded that tow away from posted private
property did not require police action, but that their presence might
be a good safety factor for a citizen so involved. Councilman Peterson
made a motion to postpone a decision until the next Council meeting,
when there would be the possibility of the Mayor and a full Council
being present. Councilman Barker seconded the motion. There was no
vote taken. Councilman Jacobs recommended that an executive session be
held within a week to try to reach decisive action. The Joneses said
they wanted the record to show that they were not the only complaint -
ants, though no others were present at this meeting. Councilman Jacobs
stated that the business patrons are unruly rather than the operators.
Councilman Barker made a motion, seconded by Councilman Tomsic and
carried, to hold a special meeting, specifically on the subject of the
Hitching Post problem, on Tuesday, February 24, 1976 at 5:30 P.M.
Councilman Tomsic made a motion, seconded by Councilman Barker
and carried, to approve a resolution to be prepared by Attorney Ruggeri
for submission to Utah State officials in conjunction with the South-
eastern Utah Association of Governments concerning building inspections
of "manufactured homes".
Councilman Peterson stated he understood that Dennis Byrd and
Tenneco could be receptive to selling shares of the Moab Irrigation
District to the City of Moab if the City could bond sufficiently to
cover the cost. Councilman Jacobs said he supported the objective, but
with a thoroughly adequate investigation.
A motion was made by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman
Tomsic, and passed to approve Resolution 1-76 regarding Revenue Sharing,
which reads as follows:
Resolution 1-76
A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF GENERAL REVENUE SHARING
WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States saw fit to pass
into law the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972
(General, Revenue Sharing) in order to provide additional
funds to general purpose units of governments of all sizes,

(Continued)
WHEREAS, we have used the funds received to benefit
the residents of our community through the pro-
visions of additional services, the construction of
public facilities and utilities and the purchase of
equipment that otherwise would not have been possible
without a significant tax increase or increase in our
level of bonded indebtedness, and
WHEREAS, it would not be possible for our com-
munity to continue to offer the level of services now
being provided,nor continue the community development
efforts we have begun without the funds we have received
by virtue of the General Revenue Sharing, and
WHEREAS, Utah statutes provide that cities and
towns must set the budgets, hold public hearings on
the same, and adopt the budget setting forth the source
of their expected revenues and the purposes for which
they will be spent prior to July 1 of the fiscal year
for which the adopted budget is intended, and
WHEREAS, Utah statutes also require that cities
and towns set the tax levy through which a major por-
tion of their municipal government's general fund
revenues are derived on or before the second Monday of
August in the year preceding the year in which the
revenues are received, and
WHEREAS, the General Revenue Sharing Act will
expire on December 21, 1976, if the Congress of the
United States does not take immediate action to reen-
act the existing law and fund it at its present level
if not higher, and because local governments such as
ours cannot properly plan for the continuation of pro-
grams already begun without severe adjustment both in
terms of final policies and numbers of personnel
employed unless revenue sharing is reenacted.
We, the governing body of Moab City, therefore;
RESOLVE to actively work for and support the
efforts of those local, state and national organi-
zations who desire to see the General Revenue Shar-
ing Act of 1972 reenacted in its existing form using
the existing formula basis for distribution of funds
to local governments.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we, the elected
governing body of Moab City go on record this 17th
day of February, 1976, as urging the members of
Utah's Congressional Delegation, to wit, Congressmen
K. Gunn McKay, Allen Howe, and Senators Edward (Ted)
Moss and E. J. (Jake) Garn, to seek and work for
passage of a bill reenacting the General Revenue
Sharing Act of 1972, as soon as possible and preferably
prior to March 1, 1976.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we, the elected
governing body of Moab City will make our desires
and needs known to the residents of our community
and to the public at large by widely circulating
this document and by taking whatever action is deemed
necessary and/or desirable.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we, the elected
governing body of Moab City will send certified
copies of this Resolution to the members of the
Utah Congressional Delegation at their respective
offices in Washington, D. C.
Passed this 17th day of February, 1976.

voiced against this on the basis that the Juveniles would

Building Inspector Shaffer had left a note for the Council
concerning his trip to Monticello for the purpose of inspecting
a Hal -Ken home being built there for use in Moab. Councilman
Tomsic reported on the note, which in essence stated that Shaffer
had started for Monticello in the morning of March 2, 1976
encountered stormy weather and returned to Moab. After he
caught up the work accumulated at his office, he started to Mon-
ticello again. He traveled 111 miles and was gone 3 2 hours.
He was unable to locate the plant manager but did find his son.
The house to be inspected had been completed beyond the point of
inspection and another house had been started. He was informed
that the completed unit and the one being started were both intend-
ed for the Moab Market.
A motion was made by Councilman Barker, seconded by Council-
man Tomsic and carried, to instruct the City Building Inspector to
continue factory inspections of modular homes being built foh the
Moab market, expense to be billed to the builder.
Councilman Tomsic made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Bonser and carried, to have any contractor applying for a City
business license produce his State Contractor's License and
that the number is to be checked against the State of Utah
Roster of Contractors. As in the past, the State license number
is to be recorded on the City license stub.
Mr. and Mrs. Mancina of the Wagon Wheel appeared and
requested information on their previous recommendation, recorded
in the minutes of February 3, 1976 concerning the limiting of
beer licenses on a population basis. Mr. Mancina made the state-
ment that Price City limits beer taverns to one per 800 popula-
tion. He also made the statement that Huntington, which has had
considerable growth due to construction of a power plant, has
only one outlet. Councilman Tomsic took issue with this stating
that she had counted four businesses there with tavern signs.
Mr. Jay Axtell appeared before Council to protest the
removal of trees near the Taylor property for the purpose of
extending McGill Boulevard through to 5th West Street. He had
removed thirteen trees from his property and felt he had been
unjustly treated. It was pointed out that he removed the trees
of his own volition and had been given a sewer connection by
the City for so doing. He also complained about a fence at the
corner of McGill and McCormick making a blind corner for traffic.
He further stated that when McGill is opened the traffic will
produce a dust problem. He was assured that the street would be
barricaded until paving was done.
Later Councilman Jacobs pointed out that the trees re-
moved by Mr. Axtell were on his own property, whereas the
trees by Taylors are in a dedicated street right-of-way. How-
ever, between the south end of Mountain View Drive, which was
extended by a housing developer east to Highway 163, a passahiP
roadway had been graded which would produce a dust problem.
Since there is no known additional development planned for that
area, paving would be out of the question. Barricading in this
instance was also suggested, but Street Supt. Day pointed out
that prior to the grading work a trail had existed which would
no doubt continue to be used. It was indicated that if a proper
barricade were made there would be adequate room to turn around
ac the end of Mt. View Drive, making the other route unnecessary,
although it might be desirable to some people.
Councilman Jacobs stated that the private hauling of trash
to the dump has increased to the point that at present costs it
is impossible -for Lynn Day to keep up with pushing the material
off and leveling the area. He would like to increase Mr. Day's
pay rate by $50.00 per month for a period of two or three
months, as temporary relief.
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Peterson and carried, to increase the rate to Mr. Day from $200.00
to $300.00 per month from March 1, 1976 until the end of the
present budget period.

Councilman Tomsic made a motion, seconded by Councilman Peterson Bills approved

At 8:40 P.M., Councilman Barker made a motion, seconded by
Councilman Peterson, to adjourn to permit those interested to attend
the public hearing on City -County consolidation. The meeting thus
adjourned.

A regular meeting of the City Council was called to order by
Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald in the Council Chambers on the above date at
7:00 P.M. in closed session for the purpose of intgrviewing Mr. Paul
Fischer from Ripon, Wisconsin concerning his application for the posi-
tion of Gity Administrator.
In attendance were Councilmen Jacobs, Bonser, Peterson, Barker
and Tomsic, Attorney Ruggeri, Engineer Keogh, Recorder Unger and Street
and Water Supt. Day.
At 7:30 P.M., the meeting was opened to the public.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion, seconded by Councilman Barker
and carried, to approve the minutes of the meeting held February 17,
1976 as submitted.
Mr. and Mrs. Spinks, representing the Hitching Post, appeared
before Council. They were advised that their situation was still under
advisement as the Council had not yet completed its study.
A memorandum from the Recorder concerning control of the use of
Council Chambers by other than civic groups to minimize or eliminate
usage by philosophical, religious or possibly controversial groups was
discussed. It was the opinion of the Mayor that usage should be limited
to governmental units such as State, County or City. Councilman Jacobs
voiced opposition to usage for possible controversial organizations,
but noted that some beneficial civic organizations have used the
chambers without any criticism related to controversies. The Mayor sug-
gested that to avoid conflicts of need reservations should be made by
organizations of benefit to the community no longer than two days prior
to the proposed meeting. Councilman Jacobs suggested taking the matter
under advisement for further study.
Mr. W. D. McArthur appeared as a director of the local humane
society and brought up a previous discussion in Council concerning dogs.
It was his opinion that through the Council some people had gained tha
impression that the Humane Society was opposed to animal control. In
his mind, this being a misconception, he wished to correct it. He also
stated that at the Elks Club were two men, Tom Davis and Bill Ecker, on
an overnight star during a horseback trip from Texas to Alaska to be co
pleted by July as a part of the bicentennial observance. It was Mr.
McArthur's opinion that the men should receive a welcome from a City
official. The Mayor volunteered to make an official welcome later in
the evening.
Councilman Barker announced that Mary Rees was being employed to
do exterior painting at the swimming pool, bleachers and buildings.
Councilman Bonser said that although he had not inspected the pool he
thought that its interior might require an acid wash prior to being
painted. Councilman Jacobs said he would like to have the pool inspect-
ed by a local cement contractor with the consideration of plastering the
walls and bottom of the pool. Councilman Bonser recommended securing
an estimate of the cost of plastering the walls and bottom of the pool.
Councilman Bonser recommended securing an estimate of the cost of pool
reconditioning from Mays Swimming Pool Co. in Salt Lake City. It was
suggested that juveniles under work assignments with Mr. James Walker
be used to paint the interior of the main building. Councilman Bonser

Councilman Barker mentioned the letter of notice from the Utah
State Department of Health for a public hearing on the request of the
City for a time extension on the dump burning permit. Her concern was
whether the public hearing was being adequately advertised so the publi
would and could attend. Councilman Jacobs stated that on January 24,
1974 the City had requested and was granted a one year time extension,
without receiving any written conformation. The Mayor requested an
additional year, which is to be the subject of the public hearing
March 23, 1976. As the State Health Department called the hearing, it
was the consensus of some Councilmen that the obligation of advertising
was the responsibility of that department.
Councilman Peterson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Jacobs
and carried, to pay the bills as submitted.
Councilman Barker again noted the public hearing scheduled for
waste disposal and stated that written comments were to be submitted
by March 9, 1976. Advertising of the hearing was again discussed.
Some additional discussion was held with Mr. Paul Fisher, who
is being interviewed for City Administrator. The Mayor invited the
group to lunch on the following day to continue the discussion.

seconded by Councilman Bonser and carried.
Letters were mailed to both Livingston Painters and Molina's
Painting Service in Moab calling notice to an ad in the Times -Independ-
ent on March 11, 1976 and requesting bids to paint the interior and
exterior of the Moab Swim Center. The only bid was received from
Molina's Painting Service. They bid $2,606.16 to paint the interin"
girl's dressing area, boy's dressing area, employee's area and entrance
walls, ceilings, pipes and benches; two coats of paing applied where
needed; all sanding, scraping and patchwork included. They also bid
$1,056.80 to p..int the exterior eaves and block walls, swimming pool

from Molina be accepted with the stipulation that work be completed by
May 15. The motion was seconded by Councilman Tomsic and carried.
Mr. Glenn Bunce of the Moab City Golf Course introduced Mr. Don
Braughman, the newly hired golf pro at the golf course. Mr. Bunce
requested permission from the Council to raise green fees at the golf
course. Mr. Bunce proposed raising the fee for 18 holes from $3.00 to
$3.50, the annual green fee for single membership from $100.00 to
$125.00, rate for the second single membership in a household from

financial assistance from the City be taken under advisement with
consideration at the time the new budget is prepared. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Bonser and carried unanimously. Mr.
Bunce also requested fertilizer from the City of approximately
20 tons for the coming year. Councilman Jacobs stated the City
would have to obtain bids.
Mr. Bunce stated he had asked Mayor McDougald about put-
ting up signs on Highway 163 directing traffic to the Moab Golf
Course and was informed a request had been made to the Utah State
Highway Department.
Mr. Lee Wangsgard thanked the Council on behalf of the Cub
Scouts attending the meeting for the invitation to observe the
Council meeting, and the Scouts departed at 8:00 P.M.
Mr. Clinton Spinks asked if the Council had made a de-
cision and was told the situation was still under observation
and also that a decision would not be made without the full
Council being present.
Councilman Bonser stated he had called the City Managers
or Recorders,of.seven cities in Utah of comparable size to Moab.
The only city called which regulates the issuance of beer li-
censes on the basis of population was Price, which permits only
one license per 800 population. Councilman Bonser further stated
he would formulate an ordinance within the next two or three weeks
for consideration.
Councilman Jacobs stated he believes the situation war-
rants a special meeting being called of the Council and individ-
uals involved.
Mr. Delbert Oliver stated the City of Monticello has joined
the International Conference of Building Officials and that the next
Hal -Ken home to be brought to Moab would bear the ICBO certificate
stating it is built according to ICBO standards. He also stated
the Monticello City Building Inspector has taken all instruction
offered by the ICBO and was in the process of being certified as
an ICBO inspector. He further stated the Monticello City Building
Inspector works for the City of Monticello and not for Hal -Ken
Homes. The consensus of the Council was that because as yet the
Building Inspectors in Utah are not certified by the State they
would prefer to have Cecil go to Monticello to make a personal
inspection of each house to be brought into Moab. They asked Cecil
be informed when electrical and plumbing systems are roughed in
and walls are up to go to Monticello to inspect the home and then
make a final inspection at the home site. Councilman Tomsic asked
that if a home is found to be in violation of any ICBO standard
that it be tagged on site and for Cecil to see that the problem
is corrected.
Courtney Brewer was introduced by Councilman Harold uacobs.
Mr. Brewer stated he is in charge of a waste water quality pro-
gram for a three -county area funded by the Environmental Protection
Agen The plan is designed toward the goal of having all water
fishable and swimable throughout the United States by 1983. Mr.
Brewer had just completed interim reports but stated the reports
were not too significant until further monitoring is done for
comparison purposes. The report was to be given to Harold Jacobs
the following week.
Councilman Tomsic presented a copy of a letter her husband
had written to the Southeastern Utah Title Company stating they
had obtained a clear title to their property and had received title
insurance and that they therefore felt the curb and gutter assessment
against their property was the responsibility of the title company.
e Councilman Tomsic also reported City Treasurer, Maxine
Smith, requested permission to reinvest $107,375.00 from the
General Fund account in a time certificate of deposit if the Coun-
cil was not anticipating any major expenditure in the near future.
Permission was granted.
Councilman Tomsic stated she had received a letter
from a citizen complaining about unsightly conditions at four
Moab residences; that of Lyle V. Palmer at 747 North 5th West,
Kenneth Key at 277 East 1st North, Fred Noyes at 217 Tusher and
Jerry Croasmun at 541 East 2nd South.

Councilman Jacobs stated a request had been received to Barricade
barricade Dogwood Avenue in the new Mountain View Subdivision Dogwood Avenue
extension because of noise from motorcycles and dust as the roac
had not been surfaced. Engineer Keogh is to check to see if it
is a dedicated street.
Councilman Jacobs stated Mrs. Ocea Edwards, caretaker
at the Old City Park had requested the use of a truck to haul
trash. He stated he had purchased an old pickup truck for her
use.
Mrs. Edwards salary had been $50.00 per month plus
trailer space, water, electricity and telephone. Councilman
Jacobs requested Mrs. Edwards' salary be increased to $200.00
for the month of April through October. Councilman Bonser
made the motion, seconded by Councilman Tomsic and passed, that
the wage recommended by Councilman Jacobs be paid.
Councilman Jacobs further stated he would like to put
c,J Mary Rees on a yearly salary and get her to help read water
meters. Permission was granted on a motion made by Councilman

Also in attendance were Attorney Ruggeri and Engineer Keogh.
Marian Narans and Bill Adair requested the Council take
action to stop the developer from continuing work on Hillside
Drive until the problem of changing terrain is corrected. It
was pointed out that the subdivision was platted before the new
ordinances on subdivisions were passed. The Mayor informed the
citizens the City was not the proper enforcement agency to take
action but rather that the court should settle the problem. He
also recommended property owners join together and request an
injunction against the developer. Councilman Jacobs was to call

New City Administrator Dave Bretzke entered the meeting
and was introduced.
Fred Stoye, representing Travelers Insurance Group, asked
the City to consider using a local insurance carrier for group
hospital insurance. Insurance would include $4,000 life insurance
on employees and $1,000 life insurance on their spouse. The basic
hospital plan would cost male employees $29.90, with dependents
$88.38; and female employees $43.52, with dependents $88.38.
It was pointed out that residents who had sustained a loss
from water pressure problems had been instructed to turn in a
written statement at the City offices if they planned to submit a
claim. Attorney Ruggeri suggested the news media alert the public
of a short statute of limitations.
Engineer Keogh pointed out the lack of a pressure relief

Sewage Treatment plant collects and treats the Improvement Dis-
trict's sewage. Following considerable discussion, Councilman

study. The motion was seconded by Councilman Tomsic and approved
unanimously.
An Electric Service Agreement was submitted for Council
approval by the Utah Power & Light Company to provide service
to No. 9 well pump near the Golf Course in Spanish Valley.
Councilman Bonser made a motion, seconded by Councilman Tomsic
and passed, that the Electric Service Agreement be approved. A

Brenda Clark, owner of the Dairy Freeze, 304 East Center, Dairy MA
asked the Council if there is a City ordinance either allowing
or forbidding people from vending merchandise on City streets
and City rights -of -way. She stated she was mainly concerned
that mobile vendors be required to park at least an equal dis-
tance from schools and the Ball Park as their establishment.
She stated she did not believe it was fair competition for vendors
to use public lands for private enterprise. A determination was
to be requested from the City Attorney.
Mr. Robert Gilmore brought to the attention of the Coun- Retaining wal•
cil that a local contractor had been constructing homes in the Walker Sub
Walker Subdivision at the end of Locust street and was building
homes on a higher level than the normal terrain and created a
fill. City Administrator, David Bretzke, informed the Council
the contractor had been advised to construct a proper retaining
wall, which would be required to pass inspection.
Councilman Tomsic informed the Council regarding a pro- "Bill bugs"
blem with "bill bugs", which had spread to several lawns in her
neighborhood, including her own. The bugs had recently been
seen at the Helen M. Knight Elementary School, and Councilman

Councilman Jacobs stated Mr. Mays from the Mays Swim Pool Moab Swim
Co. in Salt Lake City had recently inspected the Moab Swim Center in -
Center at the request of former City Administrator, Dick Unger, spection
Mr. Mays advised that the pool was in need of extensive repair.
He estimated the cost of needed reconditioning and modernizing
between $10,000 and $12,000. He recommended changes also be
made in the kiddie pool. As it was late in the season, Mr.
Mays recommended the needed repairs and patching for this sea-
son be made through a local contractor and that bids be receiv-
ed in the fall to repair and modernize the pool. Modernizing
costs are to be considered at the time the new budget is pre-
paNed. Councilman Tomsic made the motion, seconded by Council-
man Bonser and passed, to proceed with the needed repairs for
this season before t e pool opens.
Unsightly accumulations of trash were noted in the Trash accumu-
yards of a couple of local residences as well as use of a City f lations
right-of-way for storage and parking by another individual. Itt
was the consensus of the Council that the residents and property
owners be advised to clean up the properties to avoid legal prof
ceedings.
Councilman Jacobs informed the Councilmen of damage to f vandalism at
table tops at the City Parks, apparently caused by individuals City Parks
picking up the cement tops and letting them fall on the ends
hard enough to crack the cement. He noted the Lion's Club was
czipleting two cement tables and benches at the Old City Park.
He had also talked to Bud Lincoln regarding the possibility
of the Lion's Club casting tops for the damaged tables at the
City Park. The Council was in agreement to pay for the mat-
erials if the Lion's Club would cast the tops.
A discussion was held concerning citizens scattering
material in their way to the dump because it was not tied down.
Councilman Bonser stated he would advise the Police Chief to
inform his officers to issue tickets to persons so involved.
Pete Byrd initiated a discussion regarding his offer to
the City to sell shares of the Moab Irrigation Company owned
by himself and Tenneco. He stated he would like a decision to
be made as soon as possible. As two Councilmen were not in
attendance, Councilman Jacobs recommended a special meeting be
called to discuss the proposal. The special meeting was sche-

Alfred Richens, Traffic Technician, and Kenneth Adair, re-
presenting the Utah Department of Transportation, Price, Utah,
were present to discuss the February 10, 1976 request by former
Administrator R. W. Unger for a traffic study to determine if
a traffic signal was warranted at the intersection of 3rd South
and Main Street. In a letter addressed to Bretzke dated April
20, 1976, this study had been conducted and the signal study
indicated that at the present time the volume at this intersec-
tion was not sufficient to warrant a signal.
Mr. Richens and Mr. Adair discussed the reasons why a
traffic signal was not warranted at this time. The study was
conducted on March 23, 1976, and the said study revealed the
traffic did not warrant a signal as outlined in the Manual on
Unif:.,•m Traffic Control Devices, which is the guideline the
State uses. There are eight different warrants for signal con-
trols outlined in this manual. If any one of these warrants is
met, then a signal may be considered. None of these warrants
were met by the study.
Twenty to twenty-five locations through the State of
Utah are warranted for traffic signals per year, but State
budgetary restrictions only allow eight to twelve to be in-
stalled per year. The State provides funds fo traffic signal
lights for high accident rate intersections as first priority
projects each year. The traffic engineers indicated that a tray
ffic signal is not a safety device, but it was more of a con- [
venience for moving vehicles. It tends to cause more accident&
at an intersection.

Lynn Day, Street -Water -Sewer Superintendent, mentioned
that he had not given permission to anyone to install a 42"
chain link fence to within 5 ft. of the curb on 3rd East
street, immediately south of East Center Street.
There was a discussion concerning a private individual
using the public street for storage on Cliffview Street at 4th
North, on the west side of the street.
Chief Dalton spoke to the City Council and stated that
complaints on nuisances were handled by his department where
they involved public right-of-way and that nuisance complaints
on private property were handled by the Building Inspector.
Chief Dalton mentioned he had a recent meeting with
Councilman Bonser and City Administrator Bretzke. The Police
Department will work with Lynn Day to install one -hour parking
signs in the central business district on side streets. The
Utah Department of Transportation is responsible for all signs
on Main Street, a State highway. Administrator Bretzke said
he would request by letter the upgrading of existing signs and
additional signs by the Utah Department of Transportation as
soon as possible.
Chief Dalton gave a progress report on four complaints
given to him at a recent City Council meeting.
The City Administrator indicated that the County Com-
missioners had requested the City to prepare an agreement for
consideration by the Spanish Valley Water and Sewer District
for the disposition of the existing 130 water commections out-
side the City limits and also the handling and treating of san-
itary sewage from Spanish Valley.
The City Administrator suggested that he contact
Nielsen, Maxwell, and Wangsgard, Consulting Engineers, to re-
quest an estimate for preparing alternate agreements for water
as it relates to the existing 130 customers and separate alter-
nate agreements concerning the handling and treating of the sar
itary sewer. The City Administrator felt that the consulting
engineers would be in a better position to suggest various al-
ternatives for said agreements.
The Council suggested that the 1980 E.P.A. regulations
should be a part of the agreement, as it relates to upgrading
the existing treatment plant. If the plant needs enlarging at
a future date, then the customers of the Spanish Valley Water
& Sewer District should share proportionately in the costs
volved.
Councilman Peterson requested approval of an expend-
ture of 960.00 and $30.00 for a portion of the prize money a-
warded to contestants in the recent clean-up campaign. Said
bills were included in this week's list of bills to be paid.
Councilman Peterson also requested funds for flowers to
be planted on Main Street on Saturday, May 7.
Councilman Peterson indicated that suggestions were in
order to replace Mr. Willis Hansen on the Shade Tree Committee.
Karla Hancock's name was suggested. Mayor McDougald said he
would contact her.

Mayor McDougald recommended that the City Administrator
heck into the cost of purchasing a larger spraying machine to
pray trees throughout the City with the use of Revenue Sharing
unds. The Council unanimously supported the idea.
The Council discussed the need to study salaries of all
unicipal employees. Mr. James Wiseman suggested a Blue Ribbon
Panel of citizens to help the City Administrator conduct a sal-
ary survey. The Council suggested that Councilman Tomsic, Mr.
Bud Lincoln and Mr. James Wiseman work with the City Administrator
on this committee.
Councilman Barker stated that the opening date of the
Swimming Pool would be May 29th and that the City had advertized
for a summer Swimming Pool Manager, hoping that said individual
would start sometime around May 17.
Councilman Barker also stated that a Bicentennial pro-
gram will be held in the City Park on May 22 and that she hoped
the performers could use the bath house at the pool for changing
costumes.
Mayor McDougald suggested holding another law enforce-
ment panel similar to meetings held in the past. The various
judges, Police Dept. and Sheriff's Dept. personnel should be
invited to attend as well as School Superintendent Meador,
Principals of the Junior High and Senior High Schools and adult
and juvenile probation officers. The meeting was scheduled for
7:30 P.M. June 14, 1976. The City Administrator was instructed
to inform all persons mentioned above.
Councilman Barker brought up a discussion of restrictive
beer licenses based on population, one license per 1,000 popu-
lation, as the current census would indicate.
City Attorney Ruggeri stated that the State Statute
clearly states that beer licensing is a privilege granted by the
State Legislature to allow cities to grant or deny this privilege
at the will of the City Council after they have granted a license.
After considerable discussion, the Council decided that the
present policy would remain as is and that they would give it
further consideration at a later date.
Councilman Tomsic inquired about the Bill Bugs in citizen's
lawns. City(Administrator Bretzke said he thought that the Extension
Agent had submitted a press release to the press, but realized that
the press release was for tent caterpillars instead. He said he
would ask the agent again for information.

A request for a street cut was made by the Utah Power &
Light Co. for the new BLM offices at 200 South & 100 West street.

the Southeastern Utah area to reduce expenses.
Fire Chief Troy Black, Bill Hines and Royce Henningson
representing the Grand Valley Fire District, requested consid-
eration be given to the Fire District when budgeting Revenue

ment.
Mayor McDougald explained Revenue Sharing money for
this year had already been budgeted and that the future of the
Revenue Sharing program is uncertain but that if the program
is extended the Fire District's request would be considered.
Chief Black asked the status of the three hydrants prei
viously requested by the District to be ordered by the City fof
use in the County. The County is to reimburse the City for
the cost of the hydrants. Councilman Jacobs stated the hy-
drants had been ordered. Chief Black pointed out the need fort
additional hydrants near the Visitor Center and the MiVida pro;
perty. It was decided that if one hydrant were placed between
the two locations it may service both areas.

lifeguards only may be used. Councilman Barker also re-
quested permission to pay the Pool Manager $700.00 per
month and the Assistant Manager $600.00 per month. The
above salaries are to include any lessons which may be
taught by the Managers as well as any additional hours
which may be required to adequately supervise and operate
the Swim Center. The above -listed pool fee schedule and
salaries were adopted on a motion made by Councilman Pet-
erson, seconded by Councilman Barker and passed unanimously.
The possible purchase of a new sprayer to spray
City trees was discussed. Information received showed an
adequate sprayer to cost between $8,000 and $10,000. Some
chemicals require a licensed operator to apply them, but
it was pointed out that a City employee could be trained
to apply the chemicals. It was agreed that the City would
be responsible for spraying City trees only and that cit-
izens will have to use a commercial service.
A copy of a memorandum prepared by City Engineer
Keogh was distributed showing cost estimates of several
surfaces which could be applied to Dogwood Avenue in the
Mountainview Subdivision. Following discussion of the al-
ternatives, Councilman Barker made the motion the street be
barricaded until such a time as the development of the sub-
division dicated the need for it. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Peterson and harried unanimously.

attendance for a portion of the meeting were Ray O. Walker,
Jay Bell and Wayne Mulcock, representing Utah Power & Light
Co., and Connie Caouette.
The minutes of the regular Council meeting of May 18,
1976 were approved on a motion made by Councilman Jacobs,
seconded by Councilman Peterson and carried unanimously.
Mr. Ray 0 Walker, representing the Utah Power & Light
Company, reminded the Council their franchise would expire in
August of this year. He stated their company would like to
request a 50-year franchise like the one which is expiring.
A proposed franchise, letter of application and letter of ac-
ceptance were submitted by the Power company officials. It
was explained to the company officials that two other utility
franchises recently adopted had included a franchise tax of
1 % and that the Utah Power & Light Company will be considere
for a franchise tax. The City Councilmen and power company
officials agreed upon a 33-year franchise.
Discussion was held regarding the cutting of street
pavement to install service lines. Mr. Walker also explained
that their installations are based on overhead installation
rates. If installations are made underground, the customer
and subdivider must pay the difference between overhead and
underground installation costs.
The power company requested permission to have their Power company
legal department draft another franchise for consideration by franchise
the Council. Copies of the present TV and gas franchises
were provided to use as a guideline where applicable.
Connie Caouette stated he had been asked by members
of the Chamber of Commerce to ask whether the City has an or-
dinance to prevent people from raising gardens in the City
right-of-way between the street and the sidewalk. He sited
a residence on 1st North between 1st East and 2nd East where
a garden is growing in the right-of-way. He also stated lum-
ber has been piled in the right-of-way for four months. City
Administrator Bretzke was instructed to ask the residents to
clean up the right-of-way. Councilman Peterson was directed
to research the situation and to draw up an ordinance as to
what property owners can grow or place in City dedicated
rights -of -way.
Councilman Barker requested $140.00 to help send four School on drugs
people to a 5-day school on drugs and alcoholism to be held a and alcoholism
the University of Utah. She -stated the school is very helpful
in setting up local programs and that the people who have re-
quested scholarships to attend the school are involved in the
local Alcoholics Anonymous Association. The expenditure was
approved on a motion made by Councilman Bonser, seconded by
Councilman Peterson and approved unanimously.
Councilman Barker stated she was still receiving com-
plaints of disturbances at the Hitching Post. It was agreed
to advise any future complaintants to sign a formal complaint
at the City Attorney's office.
The bills were approved as submitted in the amount of Bills
$4,517.47 from t e General Fund and $20.26 from the Slick Rock,
fund. The bills were approved on a motion made by Councilman
Barker, seconded by Councilman Peterson and carried unanimously.
City Administrator Bretzke informed the Councilman
that Richard Peay, Court Administrator, had been requested
by Judge Grist to speak to the Council in his behalf. He was
advised that the Court Administrator would be permitted up to
a 20-minute presentation at a regular Council meeting.
Mr. Bretzke further informed the Councilmen that Con-
sulting Engineer, Art Maxwell was scheduled to attend a meet-

City Administrator David Bretzke stated Marvin Cleav-
er had informed him he had received a billing in reference to
Special Assessment #2. Mr. Cleaver had informed him that when
the approach to his driveway located at 141 East 100 North had
been poured it was made the wrong elevation and had to be cor-
rected by Mr. Cleaver. Mr. Cleaver had informed him he had pre-
viously been before the Council and that the assessment had been
abated. Mr. Bretzke was instructed to draft a letter stating that
this action had been taken.
Mr. Ralph Keys requested to tap 21 additional lots into
a 6" cast iron line on San Carlos Drive and Duchesne Avenue in
Grand Vu Park Subdivision. He was instructed to contact Mrs.
Bentwood as the 6" pipe belongs to her. The request was taken
under advisement for further study.
Discussion was held regarding Mr. Cecil Thomson's re-
quest to tie his proposed 28-lot "Thomson Subdivision" into
an existing private 8" sewer line at Holiday Haven Mobile
Home Park. Inspection of the present sewer line by TV camera
was discussed to assess its condition. Because of the age of
the sewer line, Councilman Jacobs stated he felt Mr. Thomson
should get another right-of-way and go another route to the
sewer. Councilman Jacobs made the motion the City not sanc-
tion connecting the 38 homes in the Thomson Subdivision to the
existing Holiday Haven sewer system. The motion was seconded
by Councilman Peterson and passed unanimously.
City Administrator David Bretzke stated the present
garbage contract with Robert Hawks, dba Bob's Sanitation
would expire June 30, 1976. He pointed out that Mr. Hawks
is concerned about going to a new dump location as his costs
would increase. Discussion was held regarding the possibility
of extending the present contract for one year. Mr. Hawks would
like to have a weight limit per customer established. Mayor
McDougald stated he had attended a meeting of the Utah Air Con-
servation Committee in Salt Lake City on May 27, at which time
the Committee granted Moab City a variance from the Open Burning
regulations, Section 2.1, Air Conservation Regulations, until
June 1, 1977 for the City's dump. The following conditions are
set forth as a part of the variance:
1. A report of sanitary landfill site selection
efforts must be submitted to the Committee
by September 1, 1976.
2. Final site selection for a new landfill must
be made and a report of the site selection
submitted to the Committee by January 1, 1977.
3. A schedule for development of the new landfill
site and achieving compliance with the Open
Burning Regulations must be submitted by June
1, 1977.
Mr. David May and Mr. Richard Buehler were appointed to
the Moab Shade Tree Commission for 5-year terms to expire June
1, 1981.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 P.M. on a motion
made by Councilman Jacobs, seconded by Councilman Bonser and

June 7, 1976
A special meeting of the Moab City Council was held
in the City Administrator's office in the Courthouse at 7:30
P.M.
Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald and Councilmen Barker, Peter Attendancl
son and Tomsic were present. Also attending were Public Work
Superintendent Lynn Day; Building Inspector Cecil Shaffer, Ci y
Engineer John Keogh, City Administrator -Recorder, David Bretz
ke; developers Charles Zucherman, Walter Pugh and Cecil Thom-
son; Real Estate Agent Wanielista and Art Maxwell, Consulting
Engineer.
The Council reviewed the proposed Walter Pugh apart-
ement project, 37 apartments and a 20-motel unit complex to
be located batween 2nd & 3rd South Streets at 1st East Street
The City Administrator gave a background report on
the development, stating that he felt the project could be de
veloped as far as utilities, street and sidewalk improvements
similar to the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. He
felt the developers should improve the perimeters of the pro-
perty with curb and gutter and 4-foot sidewalks. The side-
walks could be located at the curb line, 4" thick, and 6"
thick at all driveways, with 6" X 6" No. 10 wire mesh under
all driveways.
He indicated that one 3" water line would be suffi-
cient to serve the entire 57-unit development. Administrator
Bretzke also indicated an additional fire hydrant should be
installed on the east end of 2nd South Street. He indicated
that an 8" water line was in the street right-of-way on all
three streets and that it crossed the northeast corner of the
property. He said that a 12" sewer line paralleled the west
property line and that the sewer should enter at a manhole,
clean -outs each 60' and at each bend or combination of bends
which exceeds 45 degrees.
He stated that he had discussed possible cost sharing
on the street paving by the City, in that the City had paid
for paving and radius of curb and gutter, while the property
owners paid for all curb and gutter installations in previous
paving improvement districts throughout the City.
The City Council recommended that before any firm de-
cisions were made on the paving that they would hold a site
inspection at 8:00 A.M. on Tuesday morning, June 8, 1976.
Cecil Thomson Sewer Line
Mr. Cecil Thomson appeared before the Council concern
ing his previous request to tie his proposed 38-lot "Thomson
Subdivision" into an existing private 8" sewer line at Holi-
day Haven Home Park.
The mobile home line is approximately 1,200 feet long
with five manholes. He said he had the line augered out by
a private contractor. There are approximately 175 mobile
home units in the park, and the additional 38 single family
housing units should not cause any problems. Consulting En-
gineer Maxwell stated that with an 8" sewer at minimum grade
that such a line could serve 550 connections and that
line had more than the minimum grade.
After considerable discussion, the Council recommende
that it would allow Mr.Thomson to tie into the Holiday Haven
line if Holiday Haven will maintain the line and make any
necessary repairs at any future date. Mr. Thomson was to re-
port back to the Council if a satisfactory agreement is reach
ed.
Grand Vu Subdivision
City Administrator Bretzke brought up a discussion
of a previous request by Ralph Keys to,tap additional lots
into a 6" cast iron line on Sal Carlos Drive and Duchesne
Avenue. A letter from Mr. Keys was reviewed by the Council
explaining the history of the water system in the subdivision.
After discussion by Council, it was recommended that
Mr. Keys be allowed to make a total of 21 water connections on
the new 4" line and existing 6" line. They also stated that
an additional fire hydrant is to be installed at the end of
Duchesne Avenue and that the developer would be responsible
for all costs involved for the hydrant and meters and connec-

given to each new water customer tieing onto the line. The
water meter cards shall be noted to alert the finance depart-
ment to give this form letter to each new water customer in
the future.
Art Maxwell - Water Survey
Art Maxwell was special agent of the Council to dis-
cuss various water system improvements, as outlined in his
April, 1976 report to the Council. In addition to the re-
commendations in this report, a discussion centered on com-
pletion of Well No. 9. The pump had been on order for sev-
eral months. Mr. Maxwell was going to follow-up on why the
pump has not been delivered. Approximately 1,700 feet of new
water line needs to be installed. The pipe is on hand. The
pump was ordered on October 7, 1975, at a cost of $10,930.00.
It was suggested that the pipe trench and possible laying of
the pipe be contracted out to a private contractor, due to th
present work load on the water -sewer department. Water -Sewer
Superintendent Day was asked to obtain quotations on the cost
of contracting this portion of the job.
Mr. Maxwell recommended a concentrated periodic fire
hydrant flushing program be instituted.
The recommendations in the April, 1976 report from
Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangsgard are summarized as follows:
1. Installation of pressure relief valve station #1
as discussed elsewhere.
2. Construction of pressure reduction valve station
#9.
3. It is recommended that consideration be given to
the assigning of a water superintendent whose sole responsi-
bility is the operation and maintenance of the water system.
Such an individual should be or become acquainted with the
entire system and its operation and maintenance, including
the water supply sources, the priority of water supplies,
the necessary treatment, the location of lines and services,
and the periodic maintenance required for proper operation.
4. Chlorination facilities should be provided and
operated as outlined in our report dated September 1974, and
titled "Culinary Water System Chlorination Facility Modifi-
cations". Chlorination of the flow in the 16-inch line at
the White Ranch will include a flow meter which is considered
necessary in order to monitor the City's total water require-
ments.
5. Consideration should be given to desanding facil-
ities. Sand appears to be causing most of the operational pr
blems in the water system. The sand from the wells may ha
removed and the source, but not so with the spring supply.
After a rather careful analysis of the problem in 1974, it
was concluded that the most feasible method of sand removal
from ,.he entire system would be the construction of a clari-
fier or sand trap on the two main supply lines near the sourc
of supply. The best location for one on the 10-inch line ap-
pears to be near the City Park, and on the 16-inch line near
the overflow box on the north end of the White Ranch. The
removal of sand from the entire supply appears to be more
feasible and probably more economical in the long run than
the additional maintenance required by the sand.
6. Consideration should be given, and the cost in-
cluded in the budget when feasible, for the installation of
telemetering controls to monitor and assist in the daily op-
eration of the water facilities. A rather brief letter re-
port on this dated May 21, 1975 was submitted to the City.

Mr. Maxwell said he would prepare a summary of recom-
mendations and estimated costs for these six items in another
report for the City Administrator.
The City Council felt that the position of Water and
Sewer Superintendent should be filled as soon as possible,
as the work load on Mr. Day has been heavy.
Council adjourned to 8:00 A.M., Tuesday, June 8, 1976

June 15, 1976
A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called
to order at 7:30 P.M. in the City Council Chambers by Senior
Councilman Harold Jacobs in the absence of Mayor Wm. Dean Mc-
Dougald. Also in attendance were Councilmen Barker, Bonser
Peterson and Tomsic as well as Attorney Ruggeri, Engineer
Keogh, Public Works Superintendent Day, City Administrator -
Recorder David Bretzke and Deputy Recorder Judy Marshall. In
attendance for a portion of the meeting were Police Chief
Dalton, Police Sergeant Rowley, Judge Donald Grist, Utah Stat
Court Administrator Richard Peay, Robert and Yvonne Hawks and
representatives from Blue Cross -Blue Shield of Utah.
The minutes of the regular Council meeting of June 1,
special Council meeting of June 7 and special council meeting
held at 8:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. on June 8 were approved on a
motion made by Councilman Barker, seconded by Councilman Bon-
ser and passed unanimously.
Garbage contractor Robert Hawks submitted to the Coon
cil a proposal for a one-year extension to his contract, whicF
expires June 30, 1976. Mr. Hawks requested a 17% rate increa!
to help offset his increased costs. He requested the'residen-
tial collection fee be increased from $3.85 to $4.50 and the
commercial minimum be increased from $6.00 to $7.00. Commer-
cial rates in excess of the minimum are to be negotiated on ar
individual basis according to the frequency of pick-up and
volume. Mr. Hawks sited increased costs in all areas,_the
highest of which is liability insurance, which increased from
$1,900 to $3,300 per year. The one year contract extension
and above -stated rate increases were approved on a motion
made by Councilman Barker, seconded by Councilman Bonser and
passed unanimously. The increases in collection fees are to
be effective July 1, 1976. The public is to be informed of
the increases through the radio, TV and newspaper.
Diane Taggert and Roy Roeller, representing Blue Cros-
Blue Shield of Utah, explained an optional extended coverage
"Health Maintenance Plan" being offered in the Moab area in
addition to the present group plan. They distributed to the
Councilmen a list of increased benefits including office call
injections, full laboratory and x-ray costs, the cost of a pr
scription which exceeds $2.00 and other benefits. They ex-
plained the object of the new plan is to encourage patients t.
seek medical treatment early and hopefully eliminate many
hospitaiizations and thus help curb increased premium costs.
Mrs. Taggert explained each member of a family must cnoose a
primary physician and that Blue Cross - Blue Shield would onl
pay fees charged by the primary physician or physicians upon
r7`erral from the primary physician. The primary physician
can be changed at any time upon written request to Blue Cross,
Blue Shield. They pointed out that when his physician is out
of town the patient is to see the doctor who is covering their
physician's practice and also that in the case of an emergency
or accident the patient is to seek the closest medical care
available. The Health Maintenance Plan will cost $1.65 in
addition to the basic group plan premium for the estimated 20
increase in benefits. The Councilmen requested the represent
atives to meet with the employees to explain the plan. The
meeting was scheduled for Thursday, June 17, at 4:30 P.M. in
the City Council Chambers. They explained the plan has been
in effect in the Uintah Basin for fourteen months on a trial
basis and thus far was felt to be very Successful. A similara
plan has also been in effect in Wisconsin for four years. Ins
dividual subscriber cost for the Health Maintenance plan is
35t.

they are to be covered.
Sherrie Crist, representing Job's Daughters, requested
permission to set up a concession stand at the Little League Ball
Park and also to use the electricity at the Ball Park. City Ad-
ministrator Bretzke stated the Ball Park is School District
owned land leased to Grand County. The Recreation Director had
informed him that it has been the policy of the Grand County
Recreation Board not to allow any concessions inside the Ball
Park area. Clean-up had become a problem when concessions had
been allowed as well as being in competition with three licenses
vendors.
Request to in- Utah State Court Administrator, Richard Peay, addressed
crease Judge the Council on behalf of Moab City Judge Donald Crist to request
Grist's salary the Council to substantially increase the salary of Judge Grist
to be more in line with other Judges in Utah. He pointed out
that Judge Crist is the lowest paid judge in Utah. Mr. Peay
admonished the Councilmen to view the Municipal Court as a sep-
arate branch of government and not just another department of the
City. He further requested the Council to consider that the
Court system is not a department which costs money but rather
that the revenue generated exceeds the costs by more than 2 to 1.
Mr. Peay explained that the State Legislature set the annual
salary of District Court judges at $27,500 and sent a copy cr
a resolution to Mayors and City Managers in the state recommending
a percentage of the salary of District Court Judges be paid to
Municipal Court Judges based on the population served and the
nufnber of cases it handles. The recommended formula would place
Mdab in the 75% category, which would be $20,500. Mr. Peay urged
Moab to consider adopting by ordinance the 75% rule which is set
for other judges in the state in order to attract and maintain
high quality judges.
Bids received for City Administrator Bretzke informed the Council of the
pressure reduc- results of bids received for a pressure reducing valve and fit-
ing valve tings. Specifications for the valve were prepared by the consult-
ing engineering firm of Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangsgard and mailed
to waterworks companies. Bids were opened at 1:00 P.M., June
15, 1976 by the City Administrator. Bids ranged from $1,228 to
$1,689. The lowest bid was a newly -established waterworks supplier,
Plumbers Supply Co., Inc. in Salt Lake City. Mr. Bretzke's re-
commendation was to accept the lowest bid provided they could
supply everything requested. Councilman Peterson made the motion
to award the bid to Plumbers Supply Co., Inc. if it is determined
that availability of supplies, "upon request" means delivery with-
in a reasonable time. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Barker and passed unanimously. Councilman Jacobs suggested that if
the valve is in stock that Art Maxwell check it.
City Administrator Bretzke stated he was working on the bud -
et and that an advertised public hearing is required by law prior
o adoption. The notice must be published at least seven days prior
the public hearing. Councilman Barker suggested the Mayor, City
dministrator and City Council meet in executive session at 5:30 on
uesday, June 22nd, and if necessary again on Thursday, June 24th, to
inalize the budget. The Councilmen were in unanimous agreement.
ouncilman Barker made the recommendation the budget hearing be held
t 8:00 P.M. on June 29, 1976. The motion was seconded by Councilman
onser and carried unanimously.
Brief discussion was held regarding a report entitled, "Better
ommunities for Utah" prepared by the Utah State University Department
f Sociology. Statistics were based on a random sampling of 160
oab residents in the fall of 1975. The report sited strong points
f the community and areas which the people felt needed some improve-
ent. Areas of particular concern were housing for new families, law
nforcement and shopping facilities. Areas of strength were access
o outdoor recreation, lack of pollution, geological setting and en-
husiasm in the community.

and stated the Retail Merchants feel the license fees
for outside merchants is too low. Mr. Tibbetts
pointed out he had checked with City Treasurer,
Maxine Smith, and record could be found at that time
of only one transient merchant paying the gross
business license fee on sales made in Moab. In
addition to requiring a State Sales Tax number, he
felt the merchants should be required to pay 4-6^'r
gross business license fee before leaving Moab. He
uggested a bond could be required of sufficient
mount at the time the license is issued to ensure
tnat the transient merchant will return to pay his
ax to the City. He also suggested that local po-
ice officers could check upon request to be sure
he transient merchant has a bill of sale for every
viece of merchandise he has for sale. He further
tated the local merchants feel transient merchants
hould be required to meet all safety standards and
tate Health Standards required of stationary mer-
hants such as having a sanitary toilet on the pre-
ise. The merchants also suggested a license fee
e required high enough to discourage most transient
erchants. It was also suggested that the City con-
ider regulations to discourage vendors who come to
oab to obtain orders for merchandise to be delivered
t a later time. Councilmen Barker and Bonser agreed
o work with the City Administrator to study the
licensing ordinance. Ray Tibbetts was granted per-
-nission to work with the Committee.

Discussion was held regarding the recently
imposed water restrictions made necessary for fire
protection by a shortage of water. Water Superin-
tendent Day pointed out that the City wells and
springs are producing one-third less water the firs
week in July than they produced the first week in
June. He also pointed out that two springs which
flowed for many years had gone dry. It was the
consensus of the Council that too many wells had
been drilled in the upper valley and had lowered th
water table.
Discussion was held regarding City water
used outside the City limits in Spanish Valley and
also used by the Arches and Dead Horse Point.
Water is carried in tank trucks from the City yard.
It was concluded that for the present water would
still be supplied to the Parks and that they would
pay for the water at the rate of $1.00 per thousand
gallons.
Possible additional sources of water from
springs and wells were discussed, including Skakel
Spring. Lynn Day informed the Council he antici-
pated No. 9 well to be added to the system within
one week.

Lynn Day pointed out Glen Richeson had Awning for Ball
picked up fourteen 21-foot lengths of Schedule 80 Park
pipe to be used in the awning project at the City

neer Keogh; Water -Sewer Superintendent Day; and Times
Independent Reporter, Linda Garrison, and Mrs. McDou-
gald.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss
current developments in the water situation.
A discussion centered on purchase of the Cor-
bin Well, south of Moab. The appropriation of water
had been reallocated to some 39 underdeveloped par-
cels of land, and if the City were to purchase the
well, they would have to transfer water permits from
the well field east of the, Golf Course to this well.
It was estimated that the Corbin Well would
produce up to 3 second feet of water, however, it
was felt that we would only use 2 second feet, and
that a request would be made to the State Engineer
to appropriate 2 second feet from the well field
east of the Golf Course to the Corbin Well.
All -American Realty, who is handling the sale
of the well, offered to sell it for $55,000, plus
$6,000 commission, for a total of $61,000.
Rhodes Testing Service has tested the well,
and a report is available.
Motion passed to A motion was made by Councilman Jacobs, se -
purchase Corbin conded by Councilman Barker, to purchase the Corbin
Well Well for $61,000. Motion unanimously approved.
Motion passed not A discussion followed concerning the purchase
to pursue acqui- of the Chapman We11 south of town for $75,000. A
sition of Chapman motion was made by Councilman Jacobs, seconded by
We11 Councilman Peterson not to pursue the acquisition
of this well. Motion unanimously approved.
Corbin Well ear- The Council directed the City Administrator
nest money agree- to sign an Earnest Money Agreement with Mr. Delbert
ment. Oliver concerning the purchase of the Corbin Well,
under possible financial arrangements of five year
note for $55,000 at interest rates not to exceed 10%.
Tenneco evaluation The Skakel Spring wa.s also discussed. Mr.
of Skakel Spring Hank Ruggeri has been negotiating with Tenneco,
Houston, Texas, owners of one-half of the total
spring about the possibility of the City of Moab ac-
quiring the other one-half of the spring. Tenneco
is d^4ng an evaluation of the spring's worth at
their Salt Lake City office.
Proposed lease of A proposed lease of the Skakel Spring was
Skakel Spring reviewed by the City Council, basically, 120 lease
for one-half of total flow of the spring to comple-
ment the one --half owned by the City, and cost to the
City would be 221t per thousand.
No action City Council took no definite action on the
proposed lease.
Well No. 9 repairs We11 No. 9 pump and motor is presently
near completion }being installed. Work commenced Monday, and it is
hoped that the well will be operational by the 19th
Robertson Well t°f July. Also, the former TGI well owned by Ron
Robertson is presently being reamed out. This well
twill be tested within the next few days. If this
ell is a producer, an agreement will be worked out
with Mr. Robertson concerning the cost to the City
for the water.
207
The No. 9 well should produce 200 to 230
gallons per minute, and the Robertson well should
produce 200 to 250 gallons per minute

Sheldon Hefner explained to the Council
that he had erected a fence on the north side of hi

he had inadvertently created an unsafe situation fo
pedestrians. He had placed his fence on his pro-
perty line, which is adjacent to 4th North Street
as it approaches Main Street facing east. Mr.
Hefner further explained that as his fence is adja-
cent to the street it is forcing pedestrians to
walk in the street and he wondered if the City had
provisions for sidewalks in the area. He had ob-
served a number of children walking in the street
on their way to the Swim Center, and he feared more
children would be walking in the street in the fall
on their way to the Helen M. Knight School. Fug}" -
discussion was postponed until the Mayor joined the

208 Water Quality_ Courtney Brewer and Dr. Vaughn Hansen of
Program testing the 208 Water Quality Program were present to bring
up -date the Council up-to-date on their testing. Dr. Hansen
stated that if an individual or business is found to
be in violation of pollution limits they work with
the person involved. He pointed out that testing
has taken place for one year and that one year re-
mains to complete their study. The last round of
sampling will be completed in August. Sources of
salts and sulfates found in the Colorado River are
being investigated as well as the source of arsenic,
which is being found near town.
Pugh apartments Mr. Walter Pugh informed the Council that
financing the is unable to obtain private financing for his
housing complex but that the possibility of govern-
ment funding is being pursued. He had proposed to
build 41 apartments, and FHA would like to see it
come down to 32. Mr. Pugh stated he would like to
enter the lot from South Third Street and extend
the parking lot far enough to meet the zoning re-
quirements.
Fifteen Moab City employees were in atten-
dance to request the Council support their request
not to change their paydays from the 15th and last
day of the month to the 5th and the 20th of each
month. The employees reported they are making VA
house payments and that the payment date cannot be
changed. They are assessed a penalty for late pay-
ments. The consensus of the Council was that a
directive of the City Administrator would not be
discussed in his absence. The Councilmen agreed
that the proposed pay schedule was not unreasonable
and was conducive to more efficient accounting. The
Councilmen also agreed that the Administration
should work with those employees upon whom the new
pay schedule would be a hardship and forward an
advance, if necessary, until their payment dates
could be changed.
Councilman Jacobs explained the question Mr.

man Tomsic had met with Dr. Wes Maughn from the
Utah State University concerning a community pro-
gram record book and that they felt the project
should come under Councilman Peterson's area of
assignment to community affairs. Councilman Peter-
son stated the Women's Literary Guild had put the
book together at one time in the past and that they
may be interested in the project.
Councilman Tomsic stated David Johnson, the
local State Health official, had called her wanting
to know who gave the City authority to start No. S
well and also who gave the City permission to use
the other wells in the present water system. He
stated he could find no record of authorization.
Engineer Keogh stated samples from No. 9 well had
been sent to the State Health Department last year.
Three proposals to purchase Ron Robertson's
well had been•submitted to him at a noon Council
meeting today, July 20, 1976. Councilman Tomsic
made the motion that if Mr. Robertson does not
accept one of the proposals that they not enter

was seconded by Councilman Barker and passed
unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic read a letter from Mrs.
Ron Steele in reference to damage sustained to thei
home and beauty shop on April 23, 1976 when the
City sewer line backed up and flooded six rooms in
their basement. A $1,900 organ was ruined in ad-
dition to many other items. Mrs. Steele stated
partially burned logs and willows were found in the
sewer line which had caused the back-up. Lynn Day
confirmed the items found in the sewer line. It
was his opinion that the manhole cover had been
raised and that the branches had been plat,-.+ *here
by vandals. It was Attorney Ruggeri's opinion that
if the claim were filed with the City's insurance
carrier that according to the evidence presented he
felt that no negligence could be proven against the
City and that the insurance carrier would deny the
claim. The only other recourse would be for the
Steeles to sue the City, and if no negligence could
be proven against the City, the Steeles would only
add to their losses by having to pay court costs.
Councilman Tomsic suggested the Council hold a
special meeting to discuss our present insurance
coverage, as she felt it was inadequate.
Councilman Peterson made the motion the
bills be approved. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Jacobs and approved unanimously.

was held at 12:00 noon at the Travelodge. Present
were Mayor McDougald, Councilmen Barker, Tomsic,
Jacobs and Peterson; Engineer Keogh and Water Super-
intendent Day. Councilman Bonser was absent.
The meeting was called to formulate propo-
sals to submit to Ron Robertson in regard to the
possible purchase of his well. The proposals agreed
upon read as follows:
1. The City buy the well for $40,000 now
or $50,000, payable over five years.
Mr. Robertson would be allowed 150 gal-
lons per minute for his use. Mr. Robert-
son would pay his proportionate share,
one-third, of any pumping costs. The
well has a permit for one second foot
of water, which is 450 gallons per min-
ute. The City would furnish one-third
of the one second foot of water, approxi-
mately 150 gallons per minute to Mr.
Robertson at'no charge for the water.
Mr. Robertson would pay the pumping
costs for anything over 300 gallons per
minute, up to a maximum of one-third of
the pumping costs for all water pumped
from the well. The City would put in
underground utilities to equip the well.
2. The City buy the water from Mr. Robert-
son, up to a maximum of 300 gallons per
minute. The City would pay the pumping
costs. Mr. Robertson would equip the
well. The City would sign an agreement
to purchase this quantity of water six
months a year for five years. If the
City were to equip the well, the City
would reduce its payment to Mr. Rupert -
son for the water accordingly in order
to recover its investment in the five-
year period.
3. The City buy the well as it sets for
$75,000, payable over five years, or
$60,000 cash now. The City would agree
to sell him water in the future at a
reduced rate, and the City would put in
underground utilities.

After the details of the proposals were
finalized, Mr. Robertson joined the meeting. The
three proposals were discussed, and Mr. Robertson
took the proposals under advisement and agreed to
let the Council know his decision in a day or two.

al consent.

Special invitation was extended by County Commissioner, Harvey Merrell, to
all members of the City Council to attend a meeting with Senator Frank E.
"Ted" Moss, on Wednesday, August 18, at 3:30 P.M. in the City Council Chambers
(see announcement in 8/12 Times Independent, Page 1).
ITEM N2
.I have invited Mr. Tom May from Aquatech Pools, Inc., Salt Lake City, to
come to Moab on the tentative date of August 25 to spend a day with me and
other interested parties to help me prepare specifications for bidding for
remodeling Moab Swim Pool.
An 8 year old boy by the name of Eric Nelson, son of Mr. & Mrs. James Nelson
of 571 East 2nd South, injured his foot severely in a Cannonball dive from the
side of the pool on Wednesday night, August 11. The tendons and arteries
were cut in his foot which necessitated a two hour operation by Dr. Mayberry.
Mrs. Nelson came to my office on Thursday morning, August 12, inquiring as to
whether we had any insurance for such an incident. I advised her that I did
not think we had.
I talked to Paul Mayberry at noon, Thursday, and he said that the family was
adequately covered by TGI Health Insurance and he felt that the boy would re-
cover without any complications. I advised the Pool Manager to secure fire
hose from Troy Black to cut and wedge into the lip of the drain trough where
the concrete had been broken off. When this concrete cap broke off, •` ex-
posed a sharp edge. The Pool staff is restricting this area of the pool from
diving. This should serve as a temporary stop -gap until the pool closes on
August 29.
ITEM N3
Request from Mayor McDougald for members of the Council and John Keogh to be
advised that on August 20 and 21, Mr. Jack Raley, Consulting Engineer from
Meeker, Colorado, for the Grand County Water Conservancy District, will be in
Moab to study alternate plans for the Mill Creek Dais Project.

Mr. Art Maxwell has been invited by the Mayor to come to Moab on August 20
concerning the meeting mentioned above. He has indicated by telephone that
he will be here on the morning of the 20th. .

ITEM N6
I received a telephone call from Dana Peck, Utah State Office of Emergency
Services. His boss has talked to the District Engineers in Sacramento
requesting the Corps of Engineers' assistance on channel improvement on
Mill Creek. He indicated that the District Engineer would like the following
information:
1. Ownership of the creek, City or County?
2. A guarantee from the City and County that if right-of-way was needed
for work to be done that it would be acquired by the City and or County.
3. A guarantee from the City and or County that any control structure
installed would be maintained by the City and or County.
4. To obtain as much information as is available concerning the CCC baffle
work that was done by them in the 1930's. Can you give me any information?
ITEM N7
Paving Park Drive and McGill Blvd.
I contacted Skip Nightingale this week and he indicated that he would be
willing to loan the City the necessary money at 6% interest on a ten year
note to cover paving of these two streets and curb and gutter where needed.
I have contacted 90% of the property owners and they expressed a willingness
to cooperate with the City (no strong objections). I also contacted Hank
Ruggeri and discussed the improvements with him. We came to the conclusion
that the establishment of a Special Improvement District is necessary,
however, not popular with us.
Councilman Jacobs, John Keogh, Lynn Day and I made an inspection of the
drainage on 5th West Street at McGill Blvd. and determined that new curb
and gutter will have to be installed from Moenkopi northerly to Skip
Nightingale's home and additional culverts will be needed to cross 5th
West Street to an existing irrigation ditch across the street from Skip
Nightingale's home. John Keogh and his staff are preparing engineering
documents necessary to establish a Special Improvement District. We will
have this information for the Tuesday night meeting of the Council.
I have asked Mr. Ruggeri to assist me in doing the legal work necessary to
establish a district. A public hearing will be necessary publication
of notice in four consecutive weeks of the local newspaper. Mr. Ruggeri
and I determined that on a ten year pay -back schedule by property owners,
the only safe way to do it was through the district set-up. Determination
will have to be made concerning the patchwork paving by the existing
pavement and curbing on 5th West Street from Sam Taylor's house northerly.
We will have cost estimates on this_by Tuesday night, as\well as estimate
engineering costs for the entire district.
ITEM IR
Ron Robertson called Friday and said he would like to consumnatehis contract
with the City in regards to the acquisition of his well. If there are any
last minute corrections on the contract he would like them resolved, and
that he would like to have final agreement reached at the Tuesday night
meeting of Council.

cil had not been present at the previous meeting.
Councilman Barker noted that at this time there were
still only three Councilmen present and that Council
man Tomsic, the Councilman assigned to Finance, was
not yet present. Councilman Barker requested the
discussion be further postponed until Councilman
Tomsic is present. The discussion was postponed
until later in the meeting.
Ed Claus, City Auditor, explained the pro-
posed water and sewer utility fund budget for the
fiscal year 1976-77. Mr. Claus pointed out that the
Utah State Standardized Accounting System requires
the Water and Sewer Fund be set up on an accrual ba-
sis and that under this system of accounting the
utility Fund had lost $11,108.00 during the 1975-
1976 fiscal year.
Councilman Tomsic entered the meeting at
7:45 P.M.
Revenue of $201,000 is anticipated for the
Water -Sewer Utility Fund for the 1976-1977 fiscal
vear. Expenses of $176,950 are also anticipated.
On the accrual accounting system, revenue would be
the same; however, expenses are estimated at $219,95
This figure includes $52,000 in depreciation costs
and reflects an $18,950 accrual loss.
With capital expenses of approximately
$207,000 estimated for the coming year, the City
will have in reserve about $175,000 plus $33,000
anticipated profit from the year's operation. This
amounts to $208,000 cash available, which after de-
ducting $13,000 in bond payments, will give a net
of $195,000 to spend on the needed improvements to
the system. Because of these projections, the
Councilmen agreed a rate study should be made to
consider an increase in water rates, if warranted.

staff of the City Council would be $15.00 per hour
up to December 31, 1976 and $18.00 per hour up to
June 30, 1977. On August 10, 1976, a letter was
received from Mr. E. J. Claus. The firm of E. J.
Claus, Certified Public Accountant, has provided
auditing and accounting services for the City of
Moab for the past seventeen years. The letter
stated the firm wished to stand on the basis of its
past record with the City and emphasized that the
work could be continued without interruption. The
letter further stated that fees are computed on
the basis of the time actually spent and are influ-
enced by'current experience of City personnel plus
the quantity and type of transactions involved. He
stated that extraordinary problems which might
occur and which might require additional time and
charges would be performed at the request of or
after discussion with City personnel.
Councilman Barker made the motion to retain
Mr. E. J: Claus for the monthly accounting work and
that the annual audit be awarded to Mr. Ronald

approximately $2,875.00. He stated another com-
pany had indicated a desire to bid on both pro-
jects. The cost of pavement on McGill and Taylor
of 24,325 sq. ft. is anticipated to cost approxi-
mately $9,343.00. It would be appropriated back
according to frontage of each property owner on
that street.
Mr. Wade Tangreen, representing the Moab
Sportsmen's Club, stated the Club had recently
held a picnic and dance at the Old City Park and
C7 stated they would like to see the cement slab -In-
d" creased in size to accomodate more tables and area
C, for dancing. Mr. Tangreen pointed out that if the
A City would furnish the concrete the Club would do-
V nate the labor to increase the size of the cement
slab. He stated the Club would like to hole
another picnic and dance at the Old City Park on
September 18 and that they would like to complete
the project at least two weeks before then. The
Councilmen expressed concern about allowing dancin
at the park as it had led to problems at other
locations in the past. It was suggested to Mr.
Tangreen that the Club consider Lion's Park for
their dances. Mayor McDougald stated he understoo
the County is planning two such facilities at the
Rodeo Grounds and also at Lion's Park and sug-
gested he contact Bobbie Domenick. Councilman
Barker made the motion the matter be taken under
advisement and that a decision be made by the
Council at the meeting to be held on September 7,
1976. The motion was seconded by Councilman Tom -
sic and approved unanimously. Councilman Jacobs
suggested that he and Councilman Barker meet with
Mrs. Edwards, caretaker of the Old City Park, and
discuss the proposal with her.
Mayor McDougald stated that when City Ad-
ministrator Bretzke was hired he had stated a pre-
ference to participate in the International City
Management Association Retirement Corporation pro-
gram in lieu of the Utah State Retirement System.
He stated Mr. Bretzke had requested for three
months by letter and by telephone an opinion from
the Utah State Attorney General's Office and had
nc,:, received an answer. Two letters of request
had also been submitted by the Utah State Retire-
ment System. Mayor McDougald stated he felt Mr.
Bretzke's request to participate in the ICMA Re-
tirement Corporation should be granted and that
the City contribute for Mr. Bretzke in an amount
equal to other City employees and that the City
pay into the plan retroactive to Mr. Bretzke's
date of employment. Councilman Bonser made the
motion, seconded by Councilman Barker and passed
unanimously that the following resolution be
passed: For text of Resolution 4-76, see followin
page.

Peterson Ford for both automobiles.
Councilman Tomsic stated she had met with
Councilman Jacobs and that they would recommend the
following policy be adopted for the Moab City Yard
to go into effect September 1, 1976: The City Yard
will open at 8 A.M. and close at 5 P.M. Monday
through Friday. It will be closed weekends and
holidays. Those persons needing access to the yard
for water and the use of the scales should arrange
their schedule to meet these business hours. The
motion was made by Councilman Barker, seconded by
Councilman Bonser and passed unanimously, that the
above -stated proposal be adopted.
Councilman Jacobs stated that a Utah State
Health Department Hydrologist had been in Moab the
week before and that they had looked at cut -and -
fill sites. A site about five miles south of town
and another seven miles north of town seemed the
most promising. He stated he had been instructed
by the BLM that they would have to do an impact
study on any site selected.
Councilman Tomsic stated she had received
a complaint from a citizen regarding the fence owned
by Ray Fetters located at the corner of Center
Street and Third East. She stated she felt the City
should contact Mr. Fetters and inform him his fence
is in a dedicated right-of-way. The form signed by
Street Superintendent Day and Mr. Fetters states
that Mr. Fetters would remove the fence upon re-
quest from the City at his own expense. A motion
was made by Councilman Tomsic, seconded by Council-
man Barker and passed unanimously that City Admini-
strator Bretzke write a letter requesting the fence
be moved back to the property line, both on Center
Street and Third East.
Councilman Tomsic suggested a meeting be held
to discuss the City's policies with Central Utah
Insurance Agency. A special Council meeting was
scheduled for August 31, 1976 at 8:00 P.M. provided
the insurance agent, Mr. Leonard Burton, could be
present.
Councilman Barker stated she had received
complaints about the height of the sign in front of
the new Friendship Inn Motel.
Councilman Barker stated motorcycles were
still causing considerable noise disturbance in
Walker Subdivision. It was believed that the pro-
perty on which the motorcycles were riding belongs
to Independent Lumber Company. It was decided to
have Chief of Police Dalton talk to James Ellis and
verify that the City could put pressure on the riders
and also to see if he would permit the property to
be posted.
Discussion was held in regard to the bill
submitted from Key Construction for the City Ball
Park roof in the amount of $1,344.00. Councilman
Barker made the motion the bill be paid from Reve-
nue sharing. The motion was seconded by Council-
man Tomsic and passed unanimously.
Attorney Ruggeri stated he had written to
Tenneco and informed them the City didn't need the
,water from the spring as it couldn't utilize it
for such a short time. He also stated he had asked
them to put a price on it. The reply was that they
would be willing to give the water to the City if
they could get a high enpugh price placed on the
water so they could use it as a tax advantage. Mr.

Ruggeri stated that the City would be willing to

the motion to instruct Attorney Ruggeri to write a
letter to Tenneco stating that if Tenneco would
give the City the spring that the City would be
willing to set a price for the water at the same
rate for which the City sells it. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Tomsic and carried unani-

August 31, 1976
The Moab City Council met in special ses-
sion on Tuesday, August 31, 1976 at 8:00 P.M. in
the City Council Room, Moab, Utah.
In attendance were Mayor McDougald and
Councilmen Barker, Bonser and Tomsic. Absent were
Councilmen Jacobs and Peterson. Also attending
were David Bretzke, City Administrator -Recorder;
Leonard Burton, Central Utah Insurance Agency; Ray
Tibbetts, Don Knowles, Ray and Barbara Fetters and
eight members of the Moab Sportsmen's Club.
The special meeting was called to discuss
the City's insurance policies as it pertains to
Comprehensive and Liability Coverage; however,
other matters were taken up.
The first item of discussion concerned the
transient merchant, "Peacock Furniture", from
Hobbs, New Mexico. This firm has failed to file
quarterly reports of business transacted in the
City for the past two years, and the salesman had
indicated earlier in the previous day that they
had never sold any furniture in the City on any of
its prior stops here. A survey had been conducted
and it was determined that the fir- `ad made pre-
vious sales.
A motion was made by Councilman Tomsic,
seconded by Councilman Barker and approved unani-
mously, that the Peacock Furniture business licens
be revoked due to this company not filing any
quarterly reports for the past two years, as re-
quired by Section 13-23 of the Moab City Code.
Mayor McDougald suggested that the Council
revoke all transient business licenses after the
thirty day waiting period for effective date of
revised ordinance pertaining to transient mer-
chants, which will be September 25, 1976. This is
for Ordinance 4-76 and 5-76. New applications
would have to be made before Council on all ex-
isting transient business license holders. A re-
vision of the resolution establishing fees would
have to be prepared for Council consideration set-
ting a flat fee for door-to-door slaemen, retail
or wholesale distributors who are residents of
the City, such as Avon, Amway, Fuller Brush, Shak-
lee, Kirby, Tupperware and other business such as
these.

Mr. Leonard Burton, representing Central

cil to discuss the City's Comprehensive and
Liability Policies.
Amounts of coverage; Mr. Burton explained the amounts of cov-
ferage the City has on Comprehensive General Lia-
'bility, $100,000 Bodily Injury per person, $300,000

pressure & !may not have proper coverage to cover recent
back-up problems with excessive water pressure and backed -
!up sanitary sewers. Mr. Burton said the insurance
company has to establish a legal liability and
,that certain occurrences were protected by govern-
mental immunity. Negligence would have to be
iproven on the part of the City for the insurance
company to pay a claim. Mr. Burton said "Liability
;is based on what the prudent man would do". If the
City is legally liable, then the insurance com-
pany would pay the claim, but if the City Council
felt a moral obligation to a citizen, then the
!company would not pay a claim.

Ins present concerning the recent request of the
!City Council to require him to move his newly
installed 42" chain link fence back to his proper-
'ty line on the south and west sides of his proper-
ty. Councilman Tomsic had indicated that she had
accompanied Administrator Bretzke to Mr. Fetters'
;residence. After reviewing the situation and
;discussing it with various members of the Council,
;they felt the matter should come up again at to -
;night's meeting. Mr. Fetters' fence is 5'3" from
!the curb line, both on Center and 3rd East Streets.
'The property line is 14 feet from the curb on
Center Street and 20 feet from the curb on 3rd
East Street. After considerable discussion, the
Council decided to take the matter under advise-
ment until such a time as the Council finds it
needs to move the fence.
Representatives from the Moab Sportsmen's
Club were present to continue discussion of in-
stalling a concrete slab at the Old City Park.
Councilmen Barker and Jacobs had inspected the park
with Park Maintenance Keeper, Ocea Edwards. "t
was recommended that the slab be placed over the
old dried up ponds and that the City would furnish
the fill and cement for this project. Labor would
be donated by members of the Sportsmen's Club.
The Council objected to the slab to be used for
dancing. The Council said that the County was
planning to install concrete slabs at the Lions'
Club Park and Rodeo Grounds, where dances might be
held. A motion was made by Councilman Barker,
seconded by Councilman Bonser, that the City fill
the ponds with fill and supply concrete for a fl-
inch slab. The motion was unanimously ap?roved.
The Sportsmen's Club said it would move picnic
tables it owns up to the Old City Park with the
right to remove them at such time as they needed
Ahem at some place of their own. The City ac-
lcepted this offer on the condition that the City
would not be responsible for any damage which
might occur to them. The Club would notify the
City when the tables were installed and how many,
said spokesman John Eastwood.
The noise problem at the Hitch-N-Post was
again brought up for discussion. No action was
taken.

by Councilman Barker and seconded by Councilman Tomsic.
Mr. Lester Walker was present to present his final
subdivision plat for approval. City Engineer Keogh stated
the City Planning Commission had reviewed the final plat at 1
its last meeting and had recommended it be approved. The
plat consists of four lots on Hillside Drive at the inter-
section of Walker Street. The lots are 90' by 100' or 9,0001
square feet. Water and sewer, paving, curb and gutter, and f
sidewalks are in. City Engineer Keogh stated all require- i
ments had been met. Councilman Tomsic made the motion Mr.
Walker's final plat be approved. The motion was seconded byi
Councilman Bonser and unanimously approved.
Councilman Jacobs stated the building permit fee for,
the new L.D.S. Church on Fourth North was being presented
for abatement as it is for a non-profit organization. It ,
was pointed out that the contractors have taken out licenses
Councilman Bonser made the motion the fee be abated. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Peterson and approved
unanimously.
An application for a water connection by Joanna M.
Shupe on Spanish Valley Drive was presented. The request
was to tap into an existing 16" main. The lot the Shupes
wish to buy is located between King and McQuirt on Spanish
Valley Drive. Councilman Jacobs stated there has been some
problem of loosening the lining of the 16" main. He also
pointed out that no new connections had been granted in the
County this summer in view of ,the water shortage. The Shupes
stated they are now living in the City and are presently on ,
City water and would not represent an increase in present
useage. Councilman Jacobs stated he would have to discuss
the request with Water Superintendent Day and that he would f
advise them of the decision as soon as possible. 1
Mrs. Dannette Winfield had presented a letter dated
September 7, 1976 to the City Council requesting a crosswalk]
be placed on State Highway 163 between the High School and i

Connie Caouette, President of the Moab City Chamber
'of Commerce, stated he was present in regard to a letter he
had written to the Moab City Council dated August 30, 1976,
on behald of the Chamber requesting the Council to consider
adopting a sign ordinance. The sign in front of the new Friend-
ship Inn on Main Street had caused concern by some members of
the Chamber in regard to its size. Mr. Caouette stated the
Chamber was most concerned that more large signs not be per-
mitted_in the City. Considerable discussion was held regard-
ing sign ordinances which some other cities have adopted
restricting the height, width, square footage, distance
from the street and brightness of signs. Mr. James Wanie-
lista, owner of the Prospector Motel in Moab, stated signs
`are a means of advertising, and that he does not feel the
Council should place restrictions on signs.

Mrs. Emma Walker further stated that she owns a sec-
tion of land where the gravel pit operated by Engstrom Con-
struction is located which was annexed into the City some
years ago, when Melvin Goff had built a trailer court on
Powerhouse Lane. She stated Mr. Goff had requested the pro-
perty be placed inside the City limits so he could obtain
City water rates. Mrs. Walker stated her land is adjacent
to Mr. Goff's and that her adjacent land had also been placed
inside the City limits to provide a continuous City limit.
Mrs. Walker further stated that the action was taken withou
proper notification or public hearing and that she had not
agreed to her property being placed inside the City limit
and that she would now like to have her property placed back

Councilman Tomsic stated David Johnson, the local
State Health Officer, had contacted her regarding the pos-
sibility of setting up a rabies vaccination clinic in view
of the recent confirmed cases of rabid bats in the State.
Mr. Johnson had told Councilman Tomsic that the City should ,
request that Doctor Chase arrange for the clinic. The rabies
vaccination is $3.00 if it is obtained at a rabies clinic.
City Administrator Bretzke was advised to check with Dr.
Chase regarding need for such a clinic.
Mrs. Narlene Manson requested the City amend the
truck parking law to prevent all parking of trucks carrying
flammable and self -oxidizing materials and trucks carrying
explosives. It was pointed out that these trucks are pro-
hibited in residential areas by State law, and also that any
truck over two tons is prohibited from a residential area
by City Code. Mrs. Manson asked about the City providing
an area in which to park the trucks containing dangerous
materials. Administrator Bretzke stated he did not know if
the City were obligated to provide such an area.
Discussion was held in regard to bids for the Robert-
son Well pump. Administrator Bretzke stated he is soliciting
quotations from local electricians to supply and install an
electrical panel and/or supply materials. The original in-
vitation to bid mailed was to include installation on the
pump.

A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called
to order in the City Council Chambers at 7:45 P.M. by Mayor Wm. Dean
McDougald. Mayor McDougald made the announcement that being
legally bound, the City Council meetings would begin officially
hereafter at 8:00 P.M. The Councilmen were given the opportunity
to discuss items on the agenda prior to the official beginning.
Councilmen Barker, Bonser, Tomsic, Jacobs, Peterson,
City Administrator Dave Bretzke, City Engineer John Keogh,
Water -Sewer and Street Superintendent Lynn Day, Deputy Recorder
Judy Marshall, and Karen Mitchell were present. Also in atten-
dance were Mrs. Marian Narans, Delbert Oliver, Marlene Manson,
Mr. and Mrs. Gene Day, Connie Caouette and Mr. Alva Rockwell.

The pump situation was clarified by Mayor McDougald. Pump for Well S6
Parts were to arrive from Idaho Falls to replace the pumping ,
mechanism of Well #6. It was recommended by Water -Sewer and ,
Street Superintendent Day and Public Works Superintendent
Jacobs, after pulling the pump, that we should buy a complete
new string to equip Well #6. The problem of the City relying.
on one well will soon be alleviated when the Robertson Well
and the Corbin Well are brought into the system next season. '
As soon as the Golf Course 4-A Well can be withdrawn from
the system, the better off the City will be, and this will
eliminate sand in the water.
Councilman Tomsic asked about the possibility of a
storage tank but was advised that the City was not finan-
cially equipped to do so. A large reservoir would be likely
solution, but not possible at this time. Councilman Jacobs
stated that when new wells are brought into system, it will
make it possible to alternate and to shut down one well for
maintenance without causing critical water situation. Five
years is a normal tear down for a pump and, unforeseeable
problems caused premature breakdown of Well #6.
Repairs were expected to be completed by noon the
next day.
Councilman Jacobs introduced Mrs. Marian Narans to
the Council. Before her business was stated, Mayor McDougald
officially opened the meeting at 7:55 P.M.

Mrs. Narans stated that the new addition in Walker Property damage
Subdivision was causing considerable damage to her lawn from from Walker Sub -
disturbance of terrain, and could foresee additional damage division
to her property, as well as her neighbors properties. One
rain so far, since construction, has already caused fill to
wash down into her yard from lots on Hillside Drive. Mayor
McDougald stated we would check into the legal aspect as to Check legal aspect
what could be done. Councilman Barker reminded the Council
that at a previous meeting it was decided that the property
owners would have to instigate a Court injunction against
the contractor to stop the problem, however, construction
has been completed. Mayor McDougald stated that the loaning
institutions should not have allowed the loans on the homes
without stabalization of the back yards. Mayor McDougald
asked City Administrator Bretzke to look into the legal
aspects and also to get in touch with the loaning institu-
tions advising them of the problem. Mayor McDougald sug-
gested postponing action until receiving a legal opinion.
The minutes of the regular City Council meeting of Minutes approved
September 7, 1976 were approved unanimously on a motion
made by Councilman Barker and seconded by Councilman Bonser.
Mr. Ruggeri entered the meeting at 8:10 P.M. (late). Mr. Ruggeri enter-
ed meeting
Mr. Gene Day, District Manager of the B.L.M., was
in attendance and took the opportunity to voice his opinion
as to the needed improvements of the irrigation ditch lo- ' Irrigation ditch
cated behind the Visitor's Center. Mr. Day's property was by Visitor's
flooded and filled with sediment during the last flood. Center
When the ditch floods, it runs into the unfinished street
Off of McCormick Blvd. This is a dedicated street by plat
only, and until the property is subdivided, the street will
not be built as it is the responsibility of the subdivision.
Mr. Day stated that he is quite concerned about the problems
caused from the irrigation ditch and would like to see some
resolution once responsibility is determined, and they would
be most happy to Join others in seeing that the situation
is corrected.
Mr. Day's main purpose in attending the Council
meeting was regarding some corrections needed on Main Street
with regard to B.L.M.'s new office. Mr. Day stated that
there is quite a bit of illegal parking in the yellow zone
in front of the Ramada Inn Just before 200 South, going
south. This is causing a visibility hazard and drivers are
forced to pull way out into the intersection before turning
onto Main Street. Mr. Day requested sight distance on the
southwest corner of intersection on the Ramada Inn property.
It was also mentioned that the same parking situation exists
at the Poplar Place. Mayor McDougald suggested that the
Illegal parking by
Ramada Inn 6 Pop-
lar Place

'curbs be repainted and ticket illegal parked cars.
Ditch behind Visitor's Mayor McDougald presented a letter to the City Coun-
Center cil from Marge Shaffer, Secretary of the Moab Irrigation
Company, regarding the ditch behind the Visitor Center. The
!letter read that they objected to the City leaving an open
!ditch in the Visitor Center- property and preferred a culvert.
After considerable discussion, it was decided that a culvert
his not the solution, but would only aggravate the problem.
It was suggested that any complaints from citizens regarding
flood damage stemming from the irrigation ditch should be
'referred to the Council. Due to the absence of Mr. James
iWalker, President of the Moab Irrigation District, nothing
!could actually be gained regarding the ditch behind the
{Visitor Center, or maintenance of the irrigation ditches.
Motion to write Moab Councilman Tomsic made the motion that a letter be written
Irrigation Company Ito the Irrigation Company, and seconded by Councilman Barker,
withdrawn 'asking them to maintain their ditches. Motion was withdrawn,
'however, as the City has no jurisdiction over the Irrigation
'Company.
Alva Rockwell re- Mr. Alva Rockwell made a request for a water connec-
'quests water connectl-tion outside the City limits. At the present time, the
Lion outside City City's water shortage does not permit them to tap into
present lines available in the County, as the first obliga-
tion of the City is within the City limits. At the time Mr.
Rockwell purchased his property, he and Mr. Joe Taylor had
a verbal agreement that he would be allowed to use the water
from Mr. Taylor's spring, but lately agreement has been on
a day-to-day basis. Mayor McDougald agreed to speak to Mr.
Taylor on Mr. Rockwell's behalf and also suggested that
Will consider ap- Mr. Rockwell fill out a water application, and as soon as the
plication when water water situation was improved, the Council would consider his
situation improves application. Another suggestion was to drill a well, or
deepen the well already on his property. Tapping the 16"
main would be absolutely impossible and also tapping in to an
already weakened line, plus there is not enough pressure to
maintain the water line. The consulting engineering firm in
Salt Lake does not recommend individual taps or lines.
Robin's Nest Sub- Delbert Oliver was present making the request that
division City Council consider approval of the final plat of Robin's
Nest Subdivision (L ow Imcome Housing Project). At beginning
of project Mr. Oliver contacted City Engineer Keogh as to
the number of lots allowed and also, the possibility of
sidewalks, and Mr. Oliver said it was City Engineer Keogh's
opinion that they were not necessary. The Farm Home Loan
Administration is financing the homes that are going into the
subdivision and they do not feel sidewalks are necessary.
Costs & committed Mr. Oliver presented to the Council, the minimum cost of the
revenue developed subdivision and the committed amount of revenue
Mr. Oliver will receive from the subdivision. These figures
were furnished to Mr. Oliver by City Engineer Keogh:
Pavement $ 6,000

Sidewalks 3,146

Request for vari- Mr. Oliver stated he cannot raise the price to the buyer be-
ance for no side- cause he asked the Farm Home Loan to approve each one of these
walks homes and each buyer before he started the Subdivision. Mr.
Oliver requested a variance not to put the sidewalks in
because there are no other sidewalks in the area, and no place
for sidewalks to go. Also, it is a short cul-de-sac and
there is nq through traffic. Mr. Oliver would like to leave
a right-of-way or an easement for sidewalks in the event
there is an improvement district, and sidewalks are put into
the whole area, or part of the area, there will be an ease-
ment there and the people,•at a later date, can put sidewalks
in. Mr. Oliver can get a letter from each pre -determined
homeowner requesting that the sidewalks not be put in. Farm

Home Loan Administration stated they do not feel that side-
walks are necessary and they are not going to request them.
City Attorney Ruggeri advised that the only ones able to
give that variance was the Zoning Variance Committee. Mayor
McDougald stated that the final decision rests with the City
Council pertaining to Zoning or Codes. Councilman Bonser I
and City Administrator Bretzke agreed that the City Council
did not have the right to make a decision against an exist- i
ing City Ordinance. City Administrator Bretzke stated that '
the Ordinance had been adopted by the Council saying that
they must have sidewalks and quoted the requirements of the
Ordinance to the Council. After considerable research and
discussion, Mayor McDougald pointed out that the binding
thing in the subdivision is the final plat. Any variance ini
the subdivision is written in the final plat and Sec. 22-8
of the City Code gives the Planning Commission authority to ,
grant a variance. Then, the City Council makes the final ,
decision on the plat. The Council suggested that Mr. Oliver.
meet once again with the Planning Commission and request the'
variance. Mr. Oliver agreed, with or without the sidewalks,
to put up a cash bond in order to meet that criteria. Mr.
Ruggeri offered his assistance in working with Mr. Oliver in
obtaining an escrow agreement satisfactory to the City
Council and filed with the First Western National Bank.
Mayor McDougald suggested that he contact each property
owner asking them to sign a form letter acknowledging the
fact that the sidewalks will not be put in and, later on if
they choose to have sidewalks, it would be at their expense.
Delbert Oliver requested the Council to approve the recom-
mendations set forth by the Planning Commission with the
intention of obtaining a sidewalk variance at a later date.
Councilman Tomsic made the motion that the City Council
accept the final plat of the Robin's Nest Subdivision with
the acceptance of the recommendations of the Planning Com-
mission as outlined in a memo to the City dated September 16,
1976, seconded by Councilman Bonser, and passed unanimously.
Resolution Notice 5-76 of Intention to Create Special
Improvement District #4 was presented to the Council. Coun-'
cilman Barker made the motion to accept the Resolution, and
it was seconded by Councilman Bonser. City Administrator
Bretzke advised that we could go ahead and advertise for
bids concurrently with the other public notices of the pro-
test meeting and as long as the bids are publicized 15 days
before bid opening, we could publicize next week on the 30th'
of September, have a bid opening on Friday, October 15, 1976
at 1:00 P.M. and could be ready to award bids the night of
the protest meeting, October 19, 1976.
Councilman Jacobs raised the question as to the in- '
tentions for the end of Park Drive. After considerable
discussion, the Council was in favor of curbing the dead end.
The motion to accept Resolution 5-76 was passed unanimously.
It was agreed that sidewalks was to be added to the Resolu-
tion as required for Park Drive in Emerald Subdivision. For
text of Resolution, see following page.
The City Council agreed that they were not going to
accept any outside water connection requests until they found
more water. Councilman Jacobs said he had informed connec-
tion applicant, Joanna M. Shupe, as such. Council decided
to postpone action on all water applications until water
situation was corrected. City Administrator Bretzke stated
that he was told that Forrest E. Brown already had approval
for water, but not sewer. However, approval was given in
April when the City had water. The City Administrator was
to check the minutes for the date of Brown's water applica-
tion approval.
The Council will talk to Mr. D. S. Wimmer regarding
his water application as soon as we have the water to serve
the City unless Mr. Wimner wants to be annexed into the City
limits. If Mr. Wimner decides to move a double -wide trailer
on his county property,, he will not be able to have City wa-,
ter. Councilman Barker thought Mr. Wimner should be asked to,
have his property annexed. Judy Marshall, Deputy Recorder,
stated that an individual can get a variance on the two -acre
requirement through the county if they can get City water.

ment. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker and
;passed unanimously.
Council was presented with the bids for the purchase
of a new tractor-loader-backhoe. Councilman Jacobs made the
motion that we buy the John Deere model, JD 310-A, from
Scott Machinery Company of Salt Lake City, Utah with certain
modifications bringing the total cost from the original bid
;of $18,974 down to $17,901. Due to the heavy work load anti-
cipated in the Spring, it was decided not to trade in the
old tractor. Councilman Tomsic seconded the motion, and was
;passed unanimously.
Mrs. Marlene Manson from the audience made the re-
quest that a biting dog breaking the skin be held in quaran-
tine for fifteen days for rabies precaution as required by
;the State Board of Health. She felt that Moab City Dog
`'Catcher, Leon Stocks, should be protected by this require-
ment. lie is constantly getting bit but dogs are immediately
'turned loose. Anyone, including the dog catcher, should
file a complaint if bitten by a dog. Also, any vicious dog
,can be killed on the spot by persons given the authority
by the Chief of Police. If dogs are destroyed, the head can
be sent in to the State Health Department for determination
of rabies.
The Council considered a request from Mrs. Dale
Irish for her son to operate a septic tank service after
school hours. City Administrator Dave Bretzke talked with
'Mr. Bill Luce, Sanitation Engineer of Nielsen, Maxwell
and Wangsgard, Consulting Firm, and told him that P & L
;Tank Service was dumping in the sanitary sewer behind the
Ramada Inn. It was Mr. Luce's understanding that the City
,had made a restriction that this should be done in the early
:day and not after 3:00 in the afternoon because of the
impact that it might put on the sewer plant. Councilman
Jacobs disagreed with the idea of this being an extra burden
on the plant. After considerable discussion regarding the
legality of age of the operator and his knowledge of handling
this type of work, but because of Mrs. Irish's initial
'request which did not define the fact that her minor son
would be the operator, the motion was made by Councilman
Bonser to grant Mrs. Irish a business license at $30 per year
and $125 per quarter to dump in the sewer with the stipula-
tion that they would operate their business during normal
business hours of 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 Noon and 1:00 P.M. to
'4:30 P.M., and also, not to park loaded cleaning mechanism
within the City limits. The motion was seconded by Coun-
cilman Barker and was passed unanimously.
disposal Councilman Barker asked Mayor McDougald how he was
;going to answer the letter from the National Park Service in-
quiring as to the community's progress in establishing an
,approved solid waste disposal system. They have funds and
"equipment available to assist in the undertaking but are in
danger of losing both to a project outside the State of Utah
if the community is showing no demonstrable progress. Mayor
"McDougald said he would answer letter the next day.
Request for funds in the amount of $500 from Revenue
Sharing for administration office furniture consisting of one
secretarial desk and chair and two floor mats was presented
to the Council. The motion to approve these purchases was
made by Councilman Bonser, seconded by Councilman Barker, and
passed unanimously.
Sunflowers in ditch ' Councilman Barker gave a letter from MiVida Enter-
prises to Mayor McDougald in which they complained that the
sunflowers are beginning to grow on the ditch. Councilman
Jacobs stated that it was State Highway and Moab Irrigation
;Company ditch, both of which the City,does not maintain. Mayor
McDougald was going to answer their letter the following day.
Mr. Fetters' fence Councilman Jacobs advised the Council that Mr. Fetters
was going to remove his fence tomorrow.

City Engineer Keogh asked if the City objected to a Easement behind
man using the utility easement going behind Miller's store.itl Miller's store
all the adjoining property owners agree to use as an easement)
to access An individual is planning on buying property in
the Miller's Shopping Center where the business, The

from the neighbors if the City objects to him driving over
the easement He will attempt to get a driveway agreement
between Ralph Miller, Dick Allen and himself making it an
alley back of the store coming from Dogwood Avenue The
City Council had no objection.

Date. October 5, 1976
Subject Miscellaneous Matters
1 Mr Jack Smith, Atlas Equipment, Salt Lake City, has brought down
a 3-wheel Elgin Pelican Street Sweeper, for the City Council to
look over This is a fine piece of equipment, and one which the City
sorely needs. Hope you take time to look it over.
2 Special Improvement District No. 4. Street paving, curb and gutter,
sidewalk, etc. for Park Drive, Taylor Avenue, McGill Blvd., and
Fifth West Street We are right on schedule for this project,
thanks to John Keogh, and his staff Rids have been distributed to
three concrete, and three paving firms. Bids will be opened publicly
at 1 00 P M., Friday, October 15, 1976, in City Council Room. I
don't believe it is necessary for the Council to be entirely present
for this bid opening It could be done by myself, and City Treasurer
1 if members of the Council find they can't make this session.
,'
The district includes 2,450 sq: ft. .of paving on east end of Park
Drive; 7,350 sq. ft on west end of Park Drive; 3,280 sq. ft. on
Taylor Avenue, 21,350 sq, ft, on McGill Boulevard all to be paid
for by property owners The bid also includes 301 feet of curb and
gutter and 14,110 feet of paving on Fifth West to be paid for by
the City.
The bid does not Include any work on the existing Moab Irrigation
open ditch on Fifth West. There is an open ditch which is in front
of existing curb and gutter, on an unimproved lot which is approxi-
mately 74 feet. A 24" culvert will be needed here, as well as a
71 foot diversion irrigation box.
The City paid for irrigation ditch improvements on Special Improve-
ment District No. 3, so I am told, and I was wondering if the City
Council would consider having this work done by the City or
Irrigation district? At any rate, no detailed engineering has been
done on this part of the paving district If the Council would
direct me to add this as an addendum to the bid, I will ask Mr Keogh
to prepare specific specifications on this work
We did not include a storm drainage improvement which crosses Fifth
West in front of Skip Nightingale's residence We will have -to-do
some work here, perhaps a new culvert to cross this street to the
west Estimated costs for the irrigation ditch could be In eXCe55
--of-41,000, and the storm drain across Fifth West could exceer-an
additional $1,000, or more.
Public protest meeting is scheduled for 8.00 P.M., Tuesday, October 19,
1976 The bids could be awarded right after the protest meeting, if
less than 66% do not protest, then it's go with the project.

Hitch-N-Post
public hearing
Nature of
complaints
Complaintants Mr. and Mrs. "Curley" Jones and Mr. and
Mrs. Louis C. Farmer, and Clinton and Annie Spinks, owners
and operators of the Hitch-N-Post were present for the public
hearing. It was requested that the Hitch-N-Post show cause
as to why the City Council should not lift their cabaret
license because of the nuisance. Mayor McDougald invited
anyone in the public hearing to voice their opinion on this
matter. Dwight Johnson did not feel that the Hitch-N-Post
was a public nuisance, and thanked them for their civic
'involvement with numerous clubs and organizations in Moab.
Mayor McDougald stated that the public nuisance complaint
,stemmed from the noise and lack of parking spaces causing the
patrons to park in front of Mr. Jones property. Dwight
Johnson said it was the only place in Moab where dances could
Ibe held. Mrs. Jones cited several complaints such as noise
as late as 4:00 A.M., using the bathroom outside of the
building, loud music, vulgar language, fights, screaming,
continued disturbances after the Hitch-N-Post would close,
and all of which they had to suffer most usually five nights
is week, plus, parking on their property, cars of homeowners
in the area being ran into, signs being knocked down,
illegal parking at yellow curbs, broken windows of surround-
iing properties, all of which she stated constitutes a public
[nuisance. Mrs. Jones asked if they were expected to put up
,with these inconveniences simply because they lived in a
,business district. Mr. Jones stated that people in the
neighborhood were scared because they have been threatened.
Hitch-N-Post The head bar maid spoke on Mr. and Mrs. Spinks' behalf
;saying that there were six single girls working there
supporting fifteen children, and four married couples em-
ployed there, all of whom depend on the Hitch-N-Post as
!their sole source of income. She stated that she is married
but husband is unable to work because of disability so she
holds down two Jobs and, felt that if the bar was shut down
1"they" should help find her a job. Mayor McDougald said
social services helps with employment situations, but this
'still had nothing to do with the matter at hand. The Coun-
cil was to consider the revocation of the cabaret license
[only, not the revocation of all licenses. The Mayor said
+there has been a constant problem with the Hitch-N-Post
;since the issuing of the cabaret license with police records
,and statistics to back up numerous complaints. One supporter,
and ex -employee, of the Hitch-N-Post said that probably 2000
;people, at different times, frequented the place. Mr. Jones
commented that he and his wife have together put in a total
of forty years of hard work and wake up one morning to dis-
cover that they are living in skidrow. -Mr. Jones also said
that people who frequent the place can go home when they get
tired of the noise, but none of them would want to live
there. Dwight Johnson felt that this was a police problem
rather than a Hitch-N-Post problem. He used the City Market
parking lot as an exampTe of what he considered a public
nuisance, but City Market isn't shut down because of it. He
felt the police should issue tickets for illegal parking
,since Mr. and Mrs. Spinks cannot be held responsible for what
goes on outside of the building. Mayor McDougald said that
this was a priviledged license from the very beginning, that
the Council issued the license and they can just as easily
lift the license. Also, the owners had been told on many
occasions to police and control their fares, and if this had
been done, there would not be the problem, nor would it have
come before the Council once again. The Mayor said that if
there are 2000 people patronizing the place, there is defi-
nitely a parking problem and the Council is faced with the
issue of deciding whether it is or is not a public nuisance.
The Mayor agreed with Mr. Johnson that the Council is, indeed,
la servant of all the people and it is their job to consider
}each complaint brought before them. Another supporter blamed
the zoning as the problem, but Mayor McDougald said zoning
;had nothing to do with it, that the problem is the violation
'of a priviledged license.

she put an ad in the paper telling their patrons not to Hitch-N-Post

she cannot control what happens outside the building but,

than any language that anybody has used outside that Mr.
Farmer has put on cars at the Hitch-N-Post, the Fire Chief
was knocked down at the Fireman's Ball because he was trying
to get admission from the Scharf boys; 90% of the police
calls come from the Farmers and the Joneses; she was taken
to court last week, but the Court threw it out as a public
nuisance; offered to buy Farmers out at an FHA fair appraisal
price, but they would not sell; does not see how they are '
violating Sec. 6-6 which calls for revocation for illegal,
disorderly or improper conduct; police told her to call when
trouble begins, but will not call them again if they are
going to take it down every time she calls; the three plus
persons - only one person should count.
After listening to Mrs. Spinks, Mayor McDougald gathered Hitch-N-Post
the impression that there must be quite a few problems on
the inside as well as the outside, and should possibly take
a more serious look at the entire situation. The Mayor
advised Mrs. Spinks that if she did not want policing on the
inside, they would not be able to police on the outside, and
therefore, a public nuisance was in order.
Mayor McDouglad asked Sargeant Rowley to give a report
regarding the number of complaints received against the
Hitch-N-Post. He said that more calls were received on the
weekends, hardly any through the week, and that they had no
way of knowing who all of the complainers are. Receive
many anonymous complaints. Sergeant Rowley was sympathetic
of both sides of the situation and his view point was, that
when the Hitch-N-Post is making their living, at the same j
time, they are subtracting, from the others involved, their j
capacity to make their living. He felt policing the area tot
a point of harrassment would not do any good, and they cannot
issue tickets on private parking lots. Sargeant Rowley i
admitted the situation has caused a nuisance, and agreed
with the Mayor that there should be a compromise by lifting
the cabaret license. j

Numerous requests were made by Hitch-N-Post supporters 1Hitch-N-Post

Sargenat Rowley advised that a nuisance on private property ;
must have a formal complaint filed through the City Attorney,
before an arrest can be made. He again made the statement '
that he believed the Joneses and the Farmers have a legiti-
mate nuisance complaint, and there will have to be a compro
mise.
Mr. Farmer reported that the windshield of his car had kir. Farmer heard
been broken recently, and their living room window has a
hole in it from gravel being thrown.
Mayor McDougald asked for a decision from the Council.
Councilman Jacobs made the motion to table the matter and
hold a special meeting one week from tonight at 8:00 P.M.,
October 12, 1976, when the full Council and the City Attor-
ney could be present. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Barker, and passed unanimously.
The motion was also made by Councilman Jacobs to assign
two police officers to the Hitch-N-Post to prevent more dis
turbances until a decision could be made. The motion was '
seconded by Councilman Tomsic, and passed unanimously.
The Council heard a request from Roland Murphy for City
water to the new home he is building on Murphy Lane. Coun- t
cilman Jacobs told him there would be no problem in granting
his request in thirty days.

Electric Service The Council was presented with Electric Service Agree -
Agreements 'ments between Moab City and Utah Power and Light Company for
electric service for the Robertson Well No. 10, Spanish
Valley, and the Corbin Well No. 11, Spanish Valley. Council-
man Jacobs was going to look up electric bills on Wells
No. 9 and No. 6, and also depth of each well. Councilman
Barker made the motion that the Electric Service Agreements
be accepted, seconded by Councilman Jacobs, passed unani-
mously and Mayor McDougald signed the agreements.
Sanitary sewer D. S. and Bette Wimmer had made the request for a sani-
connection request tary sewer connection on residential property located on
!Fifth West outside the City limits. Point was made if the
!Wimmers were granted City water on their county property,
they would have to pay a double rate, however, the Wimmers
:are getting a small well permit. Councilman Tomsic made
'the motion to approve their request for a sewer connection,
seconded by Councilman Barker, and passed unanimously.
City Administrator's The Council was asked to review the City Administrator's
salary review salary per memorandum of agreement, "The City Administrator's
salary will be reviewed after six months service, and any
increase shall be based on his performance." Councilman
Barker made the motion that this matter be taken up at a
special executive session, seconded by Councilman Tomsic,
'and passed unanimously. The Special Executive Meeting will
be held at 7:30 P.M., October 12, 1976. Councilman Tomsic
will gather comparisons from other Utah Cities before the
special meeting.
Street sweeper The Council discussed the possibility of purchasing a
new street sweeper, but no action was taken.

It was brought to the attention of Street -Water -Sewer
Superintendent Day that several signs around town needed to
be replaced, which he agreed to take care of.
Councilman Jacobs stated that he was approached by a
man today asking if they had given up on dogs. A complaint
.was made by this man against a dog, the dog was picked up
because he was running loose, taken to the vet, sold the
owner a dog license, charged one day's board, the dog was
brought home and turned loose the same day. The complainer
felt that the owner should have been fined. Councilman
Jacobs was inclined to agree with him that there should be a
fine against the owner for the dog not being licensed, and
letting the dog run loose. City Administrator Bretzke
advised that the City ordinance requires a $5.00 charge for
the first pickup, $10.00 for the second pickup within one
year, plus a board fee of $3.00 per day.
Councilman Jacobs announced that the floor of the Mill
Creek Bridge was gone. The City has to pay 40% of $8,000 that
the State billed the County, and the County pays 60%, or a
total due from the City of $3200.00. Council approved payment
'of this bill for the bridge that collapsed. The City and
the County are to pay $15,000 on the new bridge, the State
will pay about $180,000. The state called today advising
that we are out from under the guard rail matter and the
paving. The State is going to finish it, and hopes to have
it in by the first of January, 1977. The new bridge is
going to be longer and we do have new hangers on each side
of the bridge, one for the City water line, and one for the
cemetary district, and a walkway for children.
Council also discussed, again, the need for flood con-
trol on the ditch behind the Visitor's Center. Improvements,
hopefully, to be made soon with the use of Flood Control
,Revenue funds.

Councilman Tomsic inquired as to the progress of Marian Walker Subdivision
Narans complaint at the last Council meeting. City Admini- complaint
strator Bretzke was to check into the legal aspects, and also
check with the FHA Representative, Marvin Clever, as to why
these loans were approved on the new homes in Walker Subdivi-
sion when mud from these lots rushes into neighbor's lawns
City Administrator Bretzke had prepared a four -page Special Improvement
memorandum for the Council to review. (For text of Memoran- District #4
dum, see following pages.) The second item regarding the
Special Improvement District #4 was discussed. Councilman
Jacobs was not in favor of paving Fifth West at this time.
However, was included in the bid invitation in case the
Council decides they want to include the work in the improve-
ment district. Paving of Fifth West would cost an additional
$7,000 which would be the City's responsibility. Mayor
McDougald said the Council should look the situation over to
see of the paving is needed at this time, and if not, exclude
from the bid.
City Engineer Keogh asked about the possibility of re- Curb and gutter
placing the 300 feet of curb and gutter between McGill and replacement,
Moenkopi by removing the existing curb and gutter, then McGill & Moenkopi
grade it and put in a good gravel base which, he thought,
would save a considerable amount of money for the City.
00 Engineer Keogh will look into possible contractors and costs,
d.'' but it is not an immediate emergency.
M
A Item #7 of the Memorandum was discussed regarding the Extra typewriter
Vextra typewriter belonging to the Police Department. It
was decided by mutual consent to give it to the Street -
Water -Sewer Department.
Item #10 regarding the order to replace non -working ;New water meters
water meters at a sale price of $18.85 per meter was ex- I
plained as follows: $26.50 per meter, less $5.00 credit
for junk meter, less 10% discount if purchased before
December 31, 1976. There was no need for Council to take
action on this matter, and the meters would be ordered the i
next day. i
I
Also discussed the need of larger meters at the Hospitalpeed of larger
Holiday Haven and Grand Vu Subdivision. The one at the hosmeters
pital was taken out and overhauled and there was no by pass
around it. Superintendent Day said the hospital needs a
smaller meter with a bypass so when repairs are needed, work'
could be done without shutting the water completely off. The
hospital has an unnecessary 3" meter, should have a 2" meter,
unless the 3" meter would be for fire extinguishers and an :
insurance requirement. Councilman Jacobs said he would find:
out the reason for the 3" meter from the Hospital Administra'�
tor, Mr. Hawks.
City Administrator Bretzke advised Council as to the ;Bids - carpeting
status of bids for carpeting the water department office. accounting dept
Councilman Jacobs suggested hiring two men through the
employment office for moving the furniture in and out.
City Engineer Keogh advised the Council that in 1955 Doris Barry property
Doris Barry and her husband granted the City a 25' x 25'
tract of land in Section 7 for a well site. The contract ,
stated that in the event the City of Moab intends to sell the
same described land, the Grantor shall be given the first
right to refuse or to purchase the said land for the same
consideration which the City of Moab paid the Grantor for
this conveyance. It was mutually agreed to deed the property
back to her.
City Engineer Keogh also brought up a request made by Request for services
property owners in the George Roberts vicinity for services '
on a private road. He was asked to measure the easement in
that area, and found that it was a 34' easement rather than '
a 40' easement. Mayor McDougald was going to write a letter;
to the involved property owners the following day advising 11
them that the City could not construct improvements in
234
Request for services sparsely spaced areas, and could only be made after proper
(Cont.) dedications of right-of-ways for streets and utilities.
Water District in Councilman Jacobs stated that he was going to meet with
Spanish Valley pan Holyoak about the organization of the water district in
Spanish Valley. Hopes to start getting some water out there
o the meter could be done away with in Grand Vu Subdivision,
mnd, at the owner's expenses, put in new lines and individual
eters in order to get them on the City system. The possi-
bility of a joint water district was also discussed.
Westwood Subdivision City Engineer Keogh presented a map of the Westwood Sub-
division, located in the County, and said that these people
wish to put in a circuit and be served. The main line goes
to the edge of the subdivision, and it was mutually agreed that
it would be alright if the property owners want to bring a
" connection up to the main line at their own expense.
Bills approved The bills were approved unanimously on a motion made by
Councilman Jacobs, seconded by Councilman Tomsic.

#4. Investigation concerning Mrs. Marion Narans, 365 Walker Street, and
her complaint regarding dirt washing in her rear yard from Hillside
Drive I talked with Marvin Clever a week ago who indicated he
would get back to me, and didn't. I ran him down and he gave me
the name of his supervisor in Salt Lake City, Mr Arthur W. Isakson,
Chief Architect, Department of Housing and Urban Development,
Federal Housing Administration, Salt Lake City Insuring Office,
Federal Building. Mr. Isakson said he was familiar with the
drainage problem in Walker Subdivision, especially Hillside Drive
In fact, he had a report on his desk concerning a home built by
Lucas Construction at 838 East Oak Street, a corner lot His
report states that builder is to complete grading to meet FHA
minimum standards and submit for HUD FHA, a method for grading and
retaining soil A solution must be acceptable to buyer, adjoining
property owners, mortgagee, and HUD FHA. He thought that the same
would apply to the home built by Bernd Construction but did not
have that report readily available when I called him. If these homes
are to be financed through some other method such as conventional,
then they would have no say regarding a retaining wall In this area.
I also talked to a Mr. John Dldenhover, Assistant to Mr. Carroll in
the Farm_Home_ldministration office_in_Monticello. They_arEsot,
at this time, financing any of the homes on the west side of Hill-
side Drive. However, they are involved on the home built by Al
Berna at 341 Hillside and the yellow house north of this address.
They indicated that if a drainage problem is prevalent they would
try to Make the contractor cofrect a drainage problem which midht
affect neighbors. I told him to advise us if they are involved
with homes above Mrs. Narans and, that between the two of us, we
might be able to enforce a proper retaining wall.

tonight. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker, and denied (Cont.)
passed unanimously.
Mayor McDougald recognized Dwight Johnson as spokesman Dwight Johnson speak
for the ownership of the Hitch-N-Post. Mr. Johnson felt the 'for compromise
Joneses and the Farmers had a very legitimate complaint and
that the situation could be solved through the law enforcement
measuring the noise and deciding on an acceptable level
with which they must comply. The owners have stopped the dances
on Wednesday and Thursday nights as a step towards a com-
promise. Mrs. Spinks approached the complaintants suggesting, Mrs. Spinks for
a compromise of holding dances on Friday and Saturday compromise
nights, holiday dances, jam sessions on Sundays, trying to
police the parking lot, trying to keep the noise down, and
trying to keep their hired help without the City Council
being involved in the feud betweeen both parties. Mayor
McDougald asked the opinion of legal counsel as to whether
a compromise was in order. Mr. Ruggeri stated that the Legal opinion on
ordinance was adopted by the City Council and, instead of compromise
laying the interpretation of the complaints that have been
made to the Court, the City Council provided that they would
be the determiner of the hearing as to whether or not the Hitch-
N-Post, in this particular instance, is violating any of
the provisions of this chapter, or operating in a manner that
`y is not in the best interest of the community. Attorney Ruggeri
M read the Ordinance pertinent to this hearing orally as re-
quested by Joe Stocks, a supporter of the Hitch-N-Post.
V The Ordinance reads as follows:
U
Sec. 6-6. Revocation of Public Dance Hall License
The city council may revoke any license issued pur-
suant to this chapter when it shall appear to the city
council that any public dance hall so licensed is con-
ducted in an illegal, disorderly or improper manner,
or whenever a person conducting such dance has been coni
victed of a violation of any of the provisions of this i
chapter. No such license shall be revoked until a hear
ing shall have been had by the city council in the manner.
Written notice of such hearing shall be served at least'
three days prior to the date thereof upon the holder
of such license, or his manager or agent. Such notice I
shall state the ground of complaint against the holder
of such license and the time when and the place where sch
hearing shall be had, and it shall be served by deliver;
ing the same personally to the holder of such license ,
or to his manager or agent. If at any time the li-
cense of a public dance hall shall be revoked, at least!
six months shall elapse before another license shall
be given for dancing on the same premises.
Joe Stocks commented that he did not hear anything 1
about three or more people. Mr. Ruggeri replied that it is Mr. Ruggeri defines
an improper manner and what all of the nuisance statutes from "nuisance" and
Webster's Dictionary to the City Ordinance, to the State
improper manner
Statute, say that if it interferes with the peace, repose,
health, or happiness of three or more persons it constitutes1
a nuisance, and if it does, it is being operated improperly.I
"Section 16-1 of the Moab City Cade defines a "public j
nuisance" consisting of unlawfully doing any act or omitting)
to perform any duty which act or omission results in any of !
the following: (a) Annoys, injures or endangers the comfort;
repose, health or safety of three or more persons; (d) In
any way renders three or more persons insecure in life or the
use of property." Mr. Stocks was advised that more than
three persons have made complaints. Joe Stocks felt that this
was an unfair move by the Council to the owners of the
Hitch-N-Post, as well as to the people of Moab since a lot
of people like to dance. Councilman Bonser pointed out that
they had been asking for a compromise for two years, and why
did it have to reach this point before they were willing to
compromise. At this time, it was too late for a compromise
and a decision had to be made.
Ordinance 6-6

Hitch-N-Post (Cont.)Mr. Farmer informed the Council that last Tuesday night,
fter the Council meeting, at 2:00 A.M. a rock (which he had
ith him) was thrown from the Hitch-N-Post parking lot at
Mr. Farmer against `the big west window in their bedroom. Luckily, the window
compromise Was not broken as he and his wife could have been seriously
(injured. Mr. Farmer did not feel that this was a good example
Bar maid supports iof a compromise. The head bar maid asked the Mayor if revoking
compromise he cabaret license would stop this type of vandalism since
n t was not the fault of the owners. Mayor McDougald agreed
;that this type of violence was not the fault of Mr. and Mrs.
Spinks, however, they were dealing under Sec. 6-6, and have
'a situation of a nuisance that affects the peace, tranquility
(and quiet of three or more individuals, and these complaints
have been brought officially before the City Council and the
Council has to acknowledge them with action. Mr. Spinks
claimed he talked to several neighbors who said they were not
bothered by the music. Mayor McDougald advised that from
past experience regarding the Poplar Place, the noise was
bsually felt at a distance. The bar maid supported Mrs.
Oinks' offer of a compromise, and advised the Council
of the steps which had been taken the past week towards a com-
Question and opinion promise. Karl Tangren questioned the zoning and was advised
on zoning that it is a Commercial Zone. Mr. Tangren felt that, in that
case, a business had more right to be there than a residence.
Attorney Ruggeri stated that the operation of the Hitch-N-Post
does interfere with the lives of a number of people in that
area and the fact that the area is zoned commercial does not
carte blanche give the people who are running the establish-
ment the right to play loud music all hours of the night.
The fact that you have a commercial zone no where says that
this gives the person who is operating a business in a commer-
cially zoned area of the City, the right to impose harsh
noises upon the people who live in the same general area.
Mayor McDougald said there are several areas in Moab that are
mixed residential and commercial, and we still have to respect
the residences within these zones. If the radiator shop in
,this same area caused a disturbance for the surrounding neigh-
porhood and a complaint was signed against them, the Council
!odd be faced with the same situation as they are faced with
tonight. Therefore, the zoning is not the question they are
dealing with, but the creation of a nuisance. Councilman Bonser
advised that one of the special provisions of the zone which
Sec. 27-8-4 (B) the Hitch-N-Post is located reads as follows: Sec. 27-8-4 (B)
"No dust, odor, smoke, vibration or intermittent light,
glare or noise shall be emitted which is descernible beyond
the premises except for normal traffic movements". The Council
Mr. Tangren in favor was asked by Karl Tangren to take into consideration, the
of owners people who frequent the Hitch-N-Post as well as the people
who filed the complaint since it was the only place left in
,town to dance, and the owners should not be held responsible
for what goes on outside of the place. Mayor McDougald inter -
Sec. 16-3 'vened and read the following: Sec. 16-3: "(Authors of
'Nuisances Designated) Where a nuisance exists upon property,
`and is the outgrowth of the usual, natural or necessary
use of the property, the landlord thereof or his agent, or
;the tenant or his agent and all other persons having control
of the property on which such nuisance exists shall be the
!authors thereof, and shall be equally liable therefor; but
,where any such nuisance shall arise from the unusual or unneces-
sary use to which such property may be put, or from business
ithereon conducted, then the occupants and all other persons
contributing to the continuance of such nuisance shall be the
authors thereof". Councilman Peterson cleared up an earlier
!accusation stating that the Council is not against dancing,
and agreed that Moab needs such a place as the Hitch-N-Post,
ybut the present location and the circumstances under which
(these dances are being held has created a nuisance. Dwight
Johnson felt the Council should take into consideration the
changes that the owners have made the past week in order to
Mr. Farmer refused solve the problem, and asked Mr. Farmer if he would be willing
to withdraw com- to withdraw his complaint, Mr. Farmer refused.

After adjournment, Councilman Jacobs informed the Bob Norman request
Council that Bob Norman has requested moving a corner post
16' for access to his property which would take away a portion
of the Golf Course. Councilman Jacobs and Street -Water -Sewer
Superintendent Day were going to look into the situation
with the manager of the Golf Course the following day.
Councilman Jacobs also advised the Council that the
Government Flood Control map needs to be completed and
asked if the flood potential of Stewart Canyon should be
designated on the map. City Administrator Bretzke didn't
think it -was a good idea, his reason being, everytime someone
considered purchasing land in that area, variances would be
requested. Mayor McDougald thought it should be shown on the
map so prospective buyers could be alerted of the problem, .
and enable them to obtain the necessary insurance coverage.
Mayor McDougald asked Councilman Jacobs to check with the
Federal Insurance Administration as to their _commendations.

Plus, and not to exceed, 25% for administrative and engineer-
ing costs for curb and gutters - $5.00 sq. ft.; sidewalks -
p .25 sq. ft.; driveways - $2.00 sq. ft. Owners will only be
charged for actual expenditures and Mr. Bretzke explained
that the 10% contingency fee was a State law requirement if
assessments are made prior to construction, and 15% for the
'administrative and engineering costs. However, these costs
'are not expected to exceed 15% all together.
Robert Mrs. Pat Schmidt of 475 Park Drive made her protest
known that she did not feel responsible for the cost of the
Paving. Mr. Robert Tangren 495 Park Drive also protested.
Neither one of these property owners was told that they
would have to pay for the paving, and nothing was so stated
on their building permits, therefore, they felt that the seller
should absorb these costs. Councilman Jacobs said it was
his understanding that the property owner is responsible
at the time the improvements are made. City Attorney Ruggeri
said that was also his interpretation. There were only
two official protests made which did not represent the re-
quisite number and Councilman Bonser made the motion that
the Special Improvement District be accepted, excluding
#4 Fifth West Street. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Barker, and passed unanlmoUSly. Bids were awarded to Mark's
Concrete and Engstrom Construction on a motion made by
Councilman Tomsic, seconded by Councilman Barker, and passed
unanimously.
City Administrator Bretzke made the request to apply for
Use of the remainder of funds from the Collector Road
Fund for replacement of curb and gutter, and other improve-
ments, on Fifth West Street, which would probably amount to
around $2,000. He was told to check out the possibility of
being able to use the funds for these reasons.
Mr. Axtell brought to the attention of the Council
once again his feelings that the fence around Councilman Tom-
sic's backyard is unsafe and is afraid someone could be killed,
'situated along McCormick and McGill Boulevards. Councilman
Tomsic feels that it is the trees past the fence that cause
the unsafe situation, and not her fence. Legally, the fence
comes under the existing non -conforming statute, therefore,
the ordinance does not affect this particular fence. Council-
man Jacobs said that the fence was there before the ordinance
was passed and nothing could be done until the fence was removed.
The ordinance was adopted May 30, 1974, Tomsic's bought
the property in 1973 and the fence was there several years
before that. Mr. and Mrs. Doug White also agreed that the
fence was unsafe. Councilman Bonser suggested that both par-
ties accept the opinion of a State Highway Traffic Safety
Engineer once the street is completed. Mr. Axtell and
Councilman Tomsic were satisfied with this solution. Appli-
cation will be made for a safety inspection as soon as the
street is completed, and copies of the letter will be sent to
Mr. Axtell and Councilman Tomsic.
Correspondence from Fred Stoye concerning Utah Gas Ser-
vice Company's $120 deposit for natural gas service was re-
viewed by the Council. Councilman Barker made the motion
that a letter be written to State Representative Milly O.
Bernard making official protest, and mail a copy of same letter
to the Utah Gas Service Company. Councilman Tomsic seconded,
and the motion was passed unanimously.
Council discussed a letter received from Mr. Alvin E.
Rickers, Executive Secretary, Utah Air Conservation Committee,
,State of Utah, Department of Social Services, pertaining
to site selection and development of a schedule for establish-
'ment of a sanitary landfill site for the City of Moab. Council
'was unfamiliar as to what action the Mayor had taken on
this matter, and Councilman Jacobs was in favor of post-
poning until his return. Councilman Tomsic made the motion
that the matter be tabled for one week and allow the Mayor to
handle, seconded by Councilman Bonser, and passed unanimously,.
The Council considered a request from Mr. Tom May, Swimming Pool
Aquatech Pool & Patio Shoppe, Salt Lake City, Utah, concerning
the _renovation of the,Moab Swimming Pool. Councilman Jacobs ,
would like to investigate the situation further before appro-'
ving renovation from an outside company, and consider the
possibility of local City employees doing the work Council-
man Barker and Jacobs will arrange a meeting with the City
employee involved to discuss this possibility with him.
Councilman Bonser made the motion to table the pool repairs Pool repairs quote
quotation for further study, Councilman Barker seconded, itabled
and the motion was passed unanimously.
Troy Black, representing his son Troy Dean Black, made Troy Black mobile
a request to put a mobile home on a lot he gave his son and home request
be allowed to obtain required building permit later, after '
his son had decided what he wanted to build. It was brought!
to Mr. Black's attention that Sec. 24-2 of the Moab City Code Sec. 24-2
allows temporary placement of an occupied mobile home on a 1
lot not to exceed one year dugin the construction of a build-
ing on the same lot. Councilman Bonser stated he was not I
in favor of giving approval until application has been made ,
for a building permit. Mr. Black agreed to encourage his
son to finalize his plans and apply for the building permit
right away, before he moves on the lot.
da M Mr. Dave May requested the Council's advise as to 'Dave May rezoning
q what was required of him to get the zoning changed at the !request
✓ end of West Center from an R-3 Zone so he would be able to
✓ establish a commercial greenhouse and nursery in that area.
City Administrator Bretzke advised Mr. May that he should
set up an appointment with the Moab Planning Commission
requesting rezoning. A nursery would be permitted in an
R-4 Zone. The ordinance requires that there must be a notice
of public hearing published in the newspaper 15 days prior
to the hearing. Mr. May was going to meet with City Admin-
istrator Bretzke to set up the meeting with the Planning
Commission the next day.
City Administrator Bretzke advised that a comment needed Correction on
to be corrected on the Memorandum dated October 15, 1976, ;10/15/76 Memoran-
Item k6, in that Mr. Oliver agreed to pay for curb and gutter,dum
not sidewalks. (For text of Memorandum, see the following ;
pages.)

City Administrator Bretzke also advised the Council 'Corbin Well
that the meeting with the Spanish Valley Water and Sewer
Committee will be tomorrow night at 6:00 P.M. in relation
to what is being done on the Corbin Well.
City Engineer Keogh asked whether or not the final plat Robins Nest Sub -
of the Robins Nest Subdivision had been approved by the division
Council. He was informed that the Council had agreed to
approve once Mr. Oliver met all requirements of the Planning
Commission. Date of approval to show on the plat is Septem-,
ber 21, 1976.
City Administrator Bretzke informed the Council that
Mr. James Ellis of Independent Lumber is hoping to obtain
a variance for sidewalks on the amended plat consisting of
seven lots in the Walker Subdivision. The Council felt
that he should have to meet the sidewalk requirement.
City Administrator Bretzke inquired as to the inter- ;Question on Sec.
pretation of Sec. 26-40, an ordinance on the water and 36-40
sewer connection fees, which led to a lengthy discussion.
No decision was made and the manager was asked to submit a re-
port concerning this matter.
The bills were approved on a motion made by Councilman ;Bills approved
Tomsic, seconded By Councilman Bonser, and passed unanimously.

Nl. Robertson Well Report
2,000 ft of 6" PVC pipe for the Robertson Well has been delivered,
as well as other equipment, to complete the water line from the
Robertson Well to Well #6. John Keogh has made arrangements to have
Canyonlands Concrete install the pump base for the Roberton Well
this weekend. J & N Machinery is providing the bolts for the pump,
base. In a conversation with Peterson Pump Company in Salt Lake t*
City this week, they indicated that the pump should be coming fairly
soon. Also;4that it would have been here Thursday of this week,
but would probably be within the next week before they could
install it.
S2. Development of Palisade Subdivision
Council members have received a special report concerning work to
be completed by the developer, Mr. Pete Byrd, and the City, on
Westwood Avenue. I would like to have the Council review this and
make any comments regarding this memorandum. I recommend its
approval.
N3 Sewer Plant
Last Friday, October 29, 1976, a Mr. Dean Wheadon from Water and
Wastewater Services and Supply Company of Provo, Utah came to Moab
and calibrated the partial flume meter for the incoming Wastewater
at the sewer plant. While he was here, I indicated to him that we
were trying to comply with the EPA requirements as sent down from
the Denver EPA office. Mr. Wheadon suggested increasing the chlorine
in our final affluent at the plant by an additional 15 pounds per day
It is estimated that this will cost approximately $2.25 more per day
for chlorine. He also performed a volume test on the three pumps
that pump the sewage from the primary clarifier to the trickling
filter. These three pumps have lost a considerable amount of
efficiency, from 500 gallons per minute, down to as low as 200
gallons per minute on one pump, and 300 gallons on the other pumps.
Mr. Wheadon said he would provide me with a quotation to overhaul
these three pumps and would provide a price for new impellors for
each of these motors. Sewer Plant Operator, Joe Severns, indicated
he could repair these motors with assistance from the Water and
Sewer Department. As soon as the quotations are available on this, `
I will notify the Council, and probably order this work to be done \
as soon as possible It was Mr. Wheadon's opinion that the trickli l
filter is not doing an adequate job due to the low flow of sewage i�
this treatment process.

would purchase all of the necessary materials to complete the;
project and requested that the City furnish the equipment
and manpower for the entire project. Mayor McDougald stated
the City had a moral obligation to help because we do dump
water into the irrigation ditches during flood time and sug-
gested that the Council take the matter under consideration.
Mayor McDougald asked Mr. Walker to meet with the City Engin-
eer and Superintendent Day when his .plans are finalized. Mr
Walker also took the opportunity to thank Councilman Jacobs
for his help in the past.
Council discussed the preliminary investigation per-
formed by Consulting Engineers, Neilsen, Maxwell and Wangsgavid
regarding water supply desanding methods. Councilman Jacobs
felt that the sand problem would be pretty well eliminated
when the water supply is increased with the addition of the
new wells, plus he was concerned with the availability of
funds for this desanding method. Mayor McDougald did not
feel that adding more wells would ever eliminate the sand

roblem completely and would eventually be forced to install

ossibility of purchasing the expensive desanding system would
of take care of the problem, the money would be gone, and
he complaints would continue. No action was taken as Mr. Art
axwell was due in Moab the latter part of the week and they
ould seek his further advice.
Councilman Tomsic asked when the lines were going
o be flushed and Superintendent Day advised they had a dead
ine to meet in this respect and could probably accomplish this
s soon as the Robertson Well was completed.
Mayor McDougald also brought to the Council's attention
he electric cost to pump the Robertson Well. He said he had
igned an electric contract in the amount of $1577 per year
o pump the Robertson Well which he thought was quite high.
fter considerable discussion and comparisons, all agreed
hat the contract was fair and electrical pumping costs did
of exceed the cost of the other wells. Mayor McDougald also
Well #9 sked the status of Well #9 and was Informed by Superintendent
gay that this well is pumping and we have been using it. No
eter has been installed as of yet.
Dump site project Mr. Peter L. Parry, Superintendent of the National
'ark Service in Moab, Utah, was in the audience and announced
hat they are satisfied with the action to date on the dump
ite project providing the dead lines are met.
Fence by Jim Walker' Councilman Barker mentioned the fence that is being
residence uilt next to Jim Walker's residence clear to the curb, and
as told that the problem was directed to Building Inspector
ecil Shaffer for his investigation.
Delinquent business Councilman Tomsic made the suggestion that some form of
licenses ommunication is needed between the Building Inspector and the
reasurer's Office so he would be aware of delinquent business
-menses, and permits would not be issued to contractors who
ave not paid their business license fee. Mayor McDougald
uggested that a list be kept current for Building Inspector
haffer.

Councilman Barker asked if the company that took over

rd-nance, and it was agreed they should. There was a lengthy
iscussion as to the interpretation of a transient merchant,
nd also if a retailer is liable for the business license and
he 2% sales tax, one or the other, or both.
Councilman Jacobs announced that he was very disturbed
ith the slow progress on the Special Improvement District N4.
he concrete bid was awarded to Mark's Concrete and, as of
his date, the work had not been started. City Administrator
retzke was to contact Mr. Mark Beeson the following day ad-
ising him if the concrete work did not commence immediately,
e would be forced to withdraw the contract.
Complaints for Polio Councilman Jacobs voiced two complaints which would have

AGA meeting on
Drug & Alcohol
Councilman Jacobs announced that he would be attending
he AGA meeting the following day. He had heard that the
ssociation was considering funds for another coordinator to
ork three counties on drug and alcohol, and said coordinator
ould work in Moab two days a week. Councilman Jacobs asked
he Council's reaction to this and to be briefed of the duties
f the former Drug and Alcohol Administrator, Stacey Lawrence.
ouncilman Jacobs said he was in favor of putting the money
into a constructive program rather than personnel and would
like to vote against this proposal. Councilman Barker felt
fihat there is more accomplished on a voluntary basis and didn't
i
think we needed a program development coordinator such as
Stacey Lawrence. Mayor McDougald pointed out that part of
this funding is specifically for planners and coordinators
it is not distributed. Councilman Barker made the motion
that the Council make the recommendation that Councilman
Jacobs vote against the hiring of a Drug and Alcohol
Coordinator, Councilman Tomsic seconded. A question on
the motion was made by Mayor McDougald as to the possibilit
of receiving the funds for another project. Councilman Jaco
advised he was in hopes of getting funds for the Title 20
Program for senior citizens, if possible. The motion was
then passed unanimously.
Councilman Jacobs advised the Council that Superinten-
dent Day had started laying pipe to the #10 well today, and
a base for the pump was put in over the weekend. Hopefully,
the pump will be installed sometime this week. Peterson Pum
Company is to furnish the pump and the panel.
City Administrator Bretzke was absent but a memorandum
had been passed out to the Council informing them of his pro
gress on various projects. (For text of memorandum, see the
following pages).
Superintendent Day advised the Council of a problem
existing on McGill Boulevard regarding the fence and trees o
the back of Councilman Tomsic's property. It was determined
that the trees are on the City's utility right-of-way, there
fore, two problem trees should be removed by the City.
Councilman Jacobs said bids should be sent out for a ne
dump truck. He was going to ask City Administrator Bretzke
to prepare bid invitations.
Councilman tomsic made the motion that the bills be ap-
proved for payment with the exception of Canyonlands Auto
which had mistakes on two of their invoices. Invoice D12873
totaled $141.11 and should be $121.11. Invoice #7346 totale
$22.00 and should be $21.70. Councilman Barker seconded the
motion after it was clarified all bills would be corrected
and paid, and passed unanimously. Mayor McDougald was
advised that Deputy Recorder Judy Marshall checks the exten-
sions of the bills and prepares them for Council's appro-
val.

Notice of a public hearing had been published in The
Times Independent on October 28, 1976 regarding a rezoning
request from C-5 to C-2 by Mr. and Mrs. Larry D. Clark and Dr.
Paul R. Mayberry to allow underground gasoline storage at
the Gofer Grocery Store, now under construction at the
northeast corner of the intersection of Fourth East and Mill
Creek Drive. Protests were voiced by several adjacent neigh-
bors and acknowledged with their signatures, as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. Venice Denney, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth McDougall,
Mr. and Mrs. Jan Pratt, Mr. and Mrs. Eloy Vialpando, and Mr.
Gail Leavett. The recommendation of the Planning Commission
on their October 22, 1976 meeting was to approve this request
by a vote of three to one. Councilman Tomsic made a motion
to deny the rezoning request due to the fact that the majority
of the proerty owners involved did object. The motion was
seconded by Councilman Barker, and passed unanimously.
Mr. David D. May was also present requesting rezoning
at property located at 240 West Center Street from an R-3
to an R-2 in order to construct and operate a retail green-
house. Notice of this public hearing before the City Council
and the Planning Commission was also published in The Times
Independent on October 28, 1976. The Planning Commission met
on this request November 12, 1976, and they had passed a
motion to table the matter until it was determined whether
an R-4 or C-4 Zone change was being requested and, if an
R-4 Zone allowed this type of business. City Administrator
Bretzke, Mr. James Wiseman and City Attorney Ruggeri reviewed
the case on November 15, 1976, and it was the City Attorney's
opinion that the exclosion of the statement prohibiting com-
mercialactivity within an R-4 Zone was, therefore, interpreted
that a commercial plant nursery was permissable. Based on the
ttorney's opinion, the Planning Commission was polled, and
ruled in favor of recommending the rezoning of the property
from R-3 to R-4. None of the adjacent property owners attended
the public hearing and Mr. May informed the Council that he
had polled several of the neighbors and had received no ob-
.ections. Councilman Tomsic made the motion that the Council
pprove the recommendation of the Planning Commission that
the area be rezoned from an R-3 to R-4 Zone as requested,
nd was seconded by Councilman Barker. Question on the motion
as raised by Mayor McDougald as to the absence of a dedi-
ated right-of-way to Mr. May's property. Mayor McDougald
sked that it be recorded in the official minutes that a motion
had been made but there is no dedicated right-of-way to this
roposed business. Mr. May made the statement that he would
ppreciate it if the Council would proceed with the rezoning
equest and he would worry about the access to his proerty.
e said he was well aware there was no deeded access to the
roperty, and has been since he began negotiations to pur-
hase the property. Mayor McDougald asked that the record show
e was opposed to this request until public access to this
omnercial business was established. With this understanding,
he motion was passed unanimously.
Mayor McDougald expressed his,thanks to the Planning
omnission for their attendance.
The next item on the agenda was a request for a cabaret
icense by Mrs. Donna Day dba Silver Dollar Bar. Mrs. Day was
of present and the motion was made by Councilman Barker to
able a decision until the next Council meeting in order to
heck out the required floor space, parking space, etc.
ouncilman Tomsic seconded, and the motion carried unani-
ousl . Councilman Bonser also asked that Mrs. Day be informed
hat the license fee is not prorated.
Olivia Martinez, representing Clint and Ann Spinks, made
he request for permission to rent the Hitch-N-Post for private
arties. Councilman Jacobs suggested that they get the City
ttorney's opinion before making a decision. Mayor McDougald
greed and advised Miss Martinez that they would contact
er by Thursday.
Mr. Bill Meador and Mr. Connie Caouette were present
o ask if the City would serve as agent of record to make
application to the federal government for fund grants for
a community center and swimming pool on property presently
owned by th high school. Councilman Barker reported that el
igibility is based on unemployment, and the unemployment rat
of Grand and San Juan Counties were combined in order to
qualify Grand County for the funds. Also, with the prelimi-
nary plans they have, they are eligible to make application
for the money, and that Mr. Jack Ehler, the architect, would
be in town Friday to meet with the committee and the agency
making application. Councilman Barker made the motion that
the City agree to Mr. Meador's request, Councilman Bonser
seconded the motion, and was carried unanimously. The
applications should be ready for Mayor McDougald's sig-
nature on Friday. Mr. Caouette advised that funds are
available right now and $10,000,000 has been allocated for
the State of Utah, and an unemployment rate of 8.9% quali-
fies Utah. It was clarified that the City would apply for
the funds for the Civic Center and Swimming Pool, and the
County would apply for the funds for the sewer and water.
Police Chief Mel Dalton entered the meeting at 9:05 P.M
The slow progress of the Special Improvement District
$4 was discussed and City Administrator Bretzke suggested
that the City Engineer be appointed in charge of the project
City Engineer Keogh agreed to accept the responsibility.
Superintendent Day and Councilman Jacobs expressed thei
dissatisfaction with Peterson Pump Company as they have
been waiting for the pump for the Robertson Well for nearly
three months. Mayor McDougald, Superintendent Day, Council-
man Jacobs, and City Administrator Bretzke were going to cal
them the next morning.
Councilman Barker asked what had been done about the
fence being built next to Mr. Jim Walker's residence. Karen
Mitchell reported that Building Inspector Shaffer had called
Mrs. Kim Robertson and was told she would speak to her hus-
bund about getting a permit, which as of today, had not been
done. Inspector Shaffer was by there today and said that th
fence was up and had been placed clear to the curb, and woul
have to come down. Administrator Bretzke was to notify Mr.
Robertson by letter as to the requirements the next day.
City Engineer Keogh was asked by Councilman Barker to
see what could be done about controlling the water from over
flowing at the ditch that goes through the Visitor's Center
park. Superintendent Day suggested that angular trash racks
be installed to keep culvert clear of trash and enable the
water to flow. Councilman Tomsic made the motion that trash
racks be installed by a contractor, seconded by Councilman
Barker, and passed unanimously.
Councilman Bonser reported that about a year ago he was
appointed to the Utah Council of Criminal Justice Administra
tion and they are now proposing legislation before the State
Legislature on several matters. He was asked how the pro-
posals should be presented, either for or against, and Coun-
cilman Bonser wanted the Council's opinion as to how they
wanted him to represent this area. Councilman Bonser
read the proposals to Council and was advised to use his own
judgement. Summary of the proposals were: (1) Decriminal-
ization of Public Intoxication (2) First Offense Program
(3) Health Insurance Benefits for Alcoholism and Chemical
Dependents (4) Juvenile Alcohol Offenders Education Program
(5) Legislation Making Drinking Beer and Driving Illegal (6)
Clarify Court;s Interpretation of Determining Blood Alcohol
Content.

Councilman Tomsic asked if anything had been heard from
Tenneco regarding the assessment of the Skakel Spring, and
Councilman Jacobs said he would check with City Attorney Ruggeri.
Councilman Jacobs advised that he, City Engineer Keogh,
Administrator Bretzke, and Superintendent Day had recently met
with Art Maxwell of Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangsgard. Mr. Max-
well asked if the City was interested in sharing the Corbin
Well with the Spanish Valley Water and Sewer District to which
Councilman Jacobs stated he would not be opposed if 1,000
gallons per minute is available to the City, and if the Span-
ish Valley W/S District would furnish permits and help with
the pipe. Council agreed to consider this proposal, but was
not in favor of making a long tern agreement with them.
Palisades Subdivision City Engineer Keogh advised the Council of the continued
sewer line problem with the sewer line from Palisades Subdivision to the
sewer plant. He said he would like to run some good elevations
in order to put in an adequate sewer line by rerouting it.
Councilman Jacobs was in favor of having this done. City En-
gineer keogh also suggested considering plastic liners being
inserted in the sewer pipes which would eliminate infiltra-
tion.

City Engineer Keogh was making request on behalf
of the Spanish Valley Water/Sewer Improvement District
that the City enter into an agreement with them on the
Corbin Well. Mr. Darwin Gilger and Mr. George White,
representing the district, made the official request to
the City Council. Everyone was in agreement with Councilman
Bonser's suggestion that if the City is going to bill and
collect (at no charge to the City) for these services,
the district should be held responsible for any bad debts in-
curred. The agreements were accepted as written for the pur-
pose of making application for the necessary funds to
establish the Spanish Valley Water and Sewer District.
Councilman Bonser made the motion that the City accept Water & Sewer con -
the water and sewer contracts as presented, seconded by Coun-tracts accepted and
cilman Jacobs, and passed unanimously. Mayor McDougald signed
and Mr. Gilger signed the contracts, and Councilman Bonser
was going to deliver them to Denver the following day.
Olivia Martinez, representing the Hitch-N-Post, wanted Hitch-N-Post pri-
to know the counsil's decision for permission to rent the vate parties
Hitch-N-Post for private parties which she had requested
at the November 16th Council meeting. She was informed that
legally they had the right to rent the premises to private
parties, but it would have to be closed to the public. Also,
the organization renting the building would be required to
obtain the necessary licenses. The City Council insisted
if any problems occurred, the City would not be responsible.
Superintendent Day reported that he has started pumping Well N 10
Well #10 and it looks real good, is pumping around 800 gallons
per minute, and there is no sand. In eleven hours, pumped
529,200 gallons of water.
The City Council voted to accept a job evaluation study Job evaluation
on a motion made by Councilman Bonser, and seconded by Coun- study accepted
cilman Barker. The motion carried by a vote of three to
one, Councilman Barker, Bonser, and Peterson in favor, and
Councilman Jacobs opposed. The study will be performed by
the Utah Intergovernmental Personnel Agency Technical Assis-
tance Division Service. Mayor McDougald questioned the poss-
ibility of over -classifying employees for public works, but
was assured the analysis would not cause this problem as the
,lob descriptions were to be broadly defined. The City would
have the option of choosing the type market they wanted
analyzed giving them a guideline for a salary scale. The
judge and the administrator would be excluded from this
evaluation.
Regarding the recent correspondence received from Mr.
Ray L. Pruett, Manager, Utility Engineering & Service of the
Public Service Commission pertaining to the City's complaint
regarding the $120 customer deposit, Councilman Barker made
the motion that the City respond in writing requesting a publ
hearing, seconded by Councilman Bonser, and passed unanimous -
There was a lengthy discussion regarding distribution of
a second foot of water to the Spanish Valley Water and Sewer
District from the Corbin Well. Councilman Peterson again
expressed his feelings that he did not like the idea of the
City entering into a permanent agreement with them. Council-
man Jacobs advised the second foot of water was offered on
a temporary basis in order to help them establish the dis-
trict, and back them in making application for the funds. It
was suggested that an agreement should be drawn up between
the City and the district confirming the fact that they
would be expected to search for a different source of water
as soon as possible. City Engineer Keogh said he would con-
vey to the County that the City Council will make Spanish
Valley Water and Sewer District aware of the fact that one
second foot from the Corbin Well is for the district's use
for the purpose of application of funds primarily, and that
the District should agree to acquire it's own source of water
from a different point of diversion other than the Corbin
Well.

Councilman Jacobs requested a resolution be drawn up

stating the City would be interested in water from the plan-
ned lake to be serviced by the Sheeley Tunnel at a future
date. Councilman Jacobs put his request into a motion, it was
seconded by Councilman Barker, and passed unanimously. (For
text of Resolution 6-76, see the following page.)
Councilman Jacobs announced that an Invitation for
Bids on specifications for a truck chassis had been prepared
and would be awarded at the next council meeting.
Councilman Jacobs reported that a salesman was here to
demonstrate a sewer flusher but the machine had froze up,
so returned to Phoenix. Plans on returning to Moab for a de-
monstration in the near future. Councilman Jacobs said that
the City does need a sewer flusher.
Councilman Peterson questioned the progress of some
items discussed at the November 16th council meeting. Number
one, a request for a cabaret license from the Silver Dollar
Bar. It was concluded that the owner had probably decided
to wait until after the first of the year, rather than pay one
ear's license fee for only a few days left in the year.
Also, Councilman Peterson inquired as to the status
of the illegally constructed fence on the Kim Robertson prop-
erty. City Administrator Bretzke reported that Mr. Robertson
had ignored his correspondence, and upon calling him, found
Mr. Robertson unwilling to comply with the City Ordinance.
It was the pleasure of the council to take legal action, and
insist on the fence coming down within ten days, or fined each
day that it stands.
Councilman Peterson asked Councilman Jacobs if he talked
to City Attorney Ruggeri regarding the Skakel Spring asses-
sment. Councilman Jacobs said he had, and that City Attorney
Ruggeri was going to call Tenneco and would report the
results to City Administrator Bretzke.
Councilman Jacobs asked the Council to check the resi-
�ence of Al Keast, G46 MiVida Drive. He has requested permis-
sion to enclose an existing open carport and breezeway between
his home and carport which is classes as nonconforming. The
.rdinance reads that no further development or change can be
ade. Councilmen agreed to look into the situation.
Councilman Barker also made reference to the minutes of
he November 16th meeting regarding Councilman Jacobs progress
n the sanitary landfill project. He reported that the City
ust abandon the existing dump which could take anywhere from
hree to five years. Will begin filling with sand and elimi-
ate the burning as soon as possible. Tentative plans are to
wild a road on the north side and begin filling from the bottom
p, creating an earth covered slope when completed. Those
ttending the meeting and inspection of the site were Coun-
ilman Jacobs, Commissioner Merrell, City Administrator Bretzke,
►uperintendent Day, Gene Westwood and Bobby Hawks. BLM
anager, Gene Day, was approached by Councilman Jacobs as to
hat was required by the City in making application for the
property selected for the new landfill site, which was the
•rimary site recommended by the State. At this point, it isn't
known whether this is State land, or BLM land. The BLM
epresentative informed Councilman Jacobs he would check into
he ownership and report back with all the pertinent informa-
ion. Gene Westwood has agreed to pull out junked cars and
aul to Bert's Auto Salvage if Clair Tangren is in agreement.
ouncilman Jacobs stated he was not opposed to using Mr. Parry's
ractor; that he would be glad to string the 2,000 feet of
once around the dump which could be salvaged for the new
ite; the $50,000 and he understands, is earmarked for a road;
e would not be opposed to their furnishing us with a compac-
or loader; he would hesitate Mr. Parry dictating hours and
gays of operation.
Councilman Bonser informed the council that the county
had set aside $1,500 for a Juvenil Delinquent Work Program
Supervisor, of which they were asking that the City pay
half. Councilman Peterson made the motion that the City
meet this request, and it was seconded by Councilman Barker.
Mayor McDougald made the suggestion that the City budget
the amount, and pay the county back at the fiscal year
end. Councilman Jacobs was going to make request for these
funds at the Assn. of Government meeting in Price on January
12, 1977. The council was in favor of supporting this pro-
gram.
City Engineer Keogh reported that the Special Improve-
ment District N4 is progressing at a slow pace. Council dis
cussed the problems with the contractors awarded the project
and considered calling a meeting with them, John Keogh,
Councilman Jacobs, City Administrator Bretzke and Mayor
McDougald if the work performance doesn't improve.
Councilman Jacobs made the motion to approve and pay
the bills, seconded by Councilman Peterson, and passed unan-
imously.
The meeting adjourned at 10:50 P.M. on a motion made
by Councilman Barker, seconded by Councilman Jacobs, and
passed unanimously.

ids submitted, Councilman Bonser made the motion to award

ump body be taken under advisement. The motion was seconded
y Councilman Barker, and passed unanimously.
The council considered a request by Forrest L. Simpson
or out -of -city water connection for business at Spanish Val-
ey Drive. The written application was to be referred to the
ater and Sewer Department.
Mr. Roy Pogue, owner and operator of the Alibi Saloon
as present at the written request of City Administrator
retzke. Mr. Pogue stated that the water connections are
he same as they have been for the last two years, that
my one trailer and the bar are hooked up to city water.
here are three other trailers at the location that he in -
ends to hook up to a well. City Administrator Bretzke
ad investigated the situation and verified Mr. Pogue's
tatement, therefore no council action was needed.
City Administrator Bretzke requested permission from
he council to attend a statewide workshop of city managers
nd administrators on January 27, 28, and 29 in Midway,
tah. Councilman Bonser made the motion to approve this
equest, Councilman Barker seconded, and carried unanimously.
City Administrator Bretzke also gave a follow-up on
the Kim Robertson fence complaint. Building Inspector
Shaffer checked into the violation of Mr. Ivan Bailey.
Mr. Shaffer did not recollect issuing a building permit
to Mr. Bailey for his additions. Council agreed Mr.
Bailey's situation had no bearing on the complaint a-
gainst Mr. Robertson and legal action should be carried
out.
City Attorney Ruggeri agreed with Board of Adjustment
Chairman, Jim Wiseman, that the request by Mr. Al Keast
to enclose the existing carport at his property located
at 646 MiVida Drive did not come under the Board of Ad-
justment's jurisdiction, and therefore, was referred back
to the City Council. Councilman Peterson was in favor of
the proposed improvements to the nonconforming structure,
and so moved to approve Mr. Keast's request. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Tomsic, and passed unanimously.
City Administrator Bretzke reported that Mr. Marvin
Johnson of the Utah Intergovernmental Personnel Agency will
be in Moab January 4, 1977, to hold meetings with all city
employees during the day, and will meet with the City
Council that evening prior to the City Council meeting
in regards to the comprehensive personnel program.
Councilman Jacobs presented preliminary flood hazard
boundary maps submitted by Michael Baker, Jr., Inc., En-
gineers and Surveyors, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Coun-
cilman Jacobs requested that a revised map be submitted
designating additional flood -prone areas in the northern
part of Moab City, and accuracy is essential in the event
federal aid is needed. Councilman Tomsic made the motion
that a flood -prone study be conducted, it was seconded
by Councilman Barker, and passed unanimously.
City Attorney Ruggeri reported that he was waiting for
a reply to his telephone calls regarding the Skakel Spring
assessment.
Councilman Jacobs reminded the council of Mrs. Edwards
equest to move her trailer under the trees at the Old City
Park. He investigated the situation and the health officer
said if the septic tank is below the spring it should

and a fertilizer spreader for maintenance of the Old City
Park.

. At the request of the City Council, comprehensive and collision coverage
was deleted on all city vehicles except 7, 17, 18, 20 and 21, making a
total savings on the premium of $1,035.00. The new police car was added
to the policy with full coverage.
The council approved the purchase of a truck chassis from Peterson Ford
in the amount of $9,396.81. After reviewing the bids and specifications
by Superintendent Day, Councilman Jacobs, and myself, the dump body was
awarded to Peterson Ford in the amount of $2,497.00.
3. On the January 4, 1977 city Council Agenda is a consideration to authorize
City_Administrator Bretzke to advertise for bids on a new trickling filter
pump. Mr. William A. Luce from'Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangsgard prepared the
specifications for the fourth trickling filter pump on December 8, 1976,
and I sent copies out to Mayor McDougald, Councilman Jacobs, John Keogh,
Joe Severns, and Lynn Day on December 13th, requesting a meeting to discuss
this matter I have discussed this with all of the above at one time or
another, and feel that it is essential to proceed immediately with adverr
tiling for bids. The first and second pump have been rebuilt and serviced
by the Worthington Service Corporation, Salt Lake City. They are presently
overhauling the third pump. Even with the overhaul of these three pumps,
we feel that the addition of a fourth pump is necessary at this time to
comply with EPA standards.

Ifl. After the January 4, 1977, council meeting I discussed the street e-
curb and gutter situation with an inspector on the Mill Creek Bridge, N4
and also with Jim Deaton. A copy of the results are covered in a
letter I sent to Mr. Deaton.
112. In regard to the caterpillar spraying program, I contacted Kay Hancock
with the SUCCE who referred me to Mr. Reed Roberts, State Extension
Entomologist with the Utah State University of Logan. Mr. Roberts
called me Friday and indicated that the tent caterpiller does not
migrate too far, but pupates in the ground near the trees. His
recommendation is to use a mist type rather than a sprayer type
machine. A mist machine will go up 40-50 feet. The best chemical
to use is Sevin. He also recommended Dizsban, manufactured by Dow
Chemical, and Diazamon is used sometimes. Chloradane was good but
it is ro .anger per.mitied. In regara t5 law's, he woutc lirce Lo cnerr-
on the type of bug we alight have. It could be a lawn meth, a white
grub beetle, or a bill bug.
His agency is planning a Pesticide Applicators Training Program in
Moab on March 2, 1977, a one -day training program primarily geared
for the farmer. This will certify anyone attending this school to
be able to use restricted compounds. City and County officials are
also invited to attend. For further information we should contact
Mr. Jim Stevens from Monticello., He_has_a very busy schedule ahead of
him, but would like to come to Moab and he said within fifteen days
he would get back to me to determine if he could make it to Moab. If
he can't make it, he will recommend specific types of machines to use,
and chemicals. I would recommend that an individual from the City
and the County payroll staff be requested to attend this one -day meeting.
#3. Mr. Steve Moehlmann from the Utah State University was in town Thurs-
day to conduct his on -going Wastewater Treatment Plant Operators
Training Course,
#4. i attended a Spanish Valley Water and Sewer District meeting Thursday
night and, as you may know, their request to L.P W. funds through

their request. Also, they are going to check other sources of
funding available through EPA, and the possibility of private
financing. From the gist of the meeting last night I would say
that EPA is somewhat short of funds until President Carter makes
his first move.
HS. Mr. Arnold Marks was in Friday making application to the Board of
Adjustment for a home occupation to do television -electronics repairs.
This individual was recommended to me by the Mayor. His public
hearing will be January 19, 1977.
#6. Mayor McDougall and Harold Jacobs suggested that I send a telegram
to Bobby Morris informing him that his job had been eliminated due
to the fact that he did not show up, or call. He was due to report
to. Work on Monday, January 3rd. The telegram was undeliverable, but
I was able to reach his wife by telephone on Friday. She said he
left Pensacola on Sunday, January 2, and that he was in Amarillo,
Texas, on Monday. She hasn't heard from him since. He has
apparently been offered a job An Trinidad, Colorado, at $15,000
per year and led her to believe he was going either to Trinidad
or Moab. I asked for a police check on him from Chief Dalton, but
Florida authorities did not answer his request.

ed by Councilman Barker, and passed unanimously.
At the invitation of the Mayor, Mr. Tabberer expressed
his dissatisfaction with the curb, gutter, driveway, and
paving project on Park Drive (a portion of Special Improve-
ment District #4) which fronts his residence at 402 Park
Drive. After much discussion, Councilman Tomsic made the
motion to shut down the contractors, take the city crews in
and put in the necessary form and gravel to help the pro-
perty owners in the district through the winter, deduct
these costs to the city from the contractors bids, and have
the State Inspector check out the quality of the work,
namely the concrete, since cold weather had delayed the pa-
ving work. Counc;'.rear. Barker seconded the motion. The
uncil was inforTAd of a dispute between the City Engineer
tae concrete contractor as to who is responsible for
some off -grade concrete work for which the contractor is
billing the city an additional $320.00 for this correction.
Councilman Jacobs wanted to meet with the paving contrac-
tor the following day before any council action was taken,
however was in favor of ordering the concrete test. Coun-
cilman Tomsic amended her motion to withhold the standard
10% of the concrete invoice, and the contested $320.00.

City Attorney Ruggeri suggested that the entire invoice be
held until the results of the concrete test were received.
More discussion resulted in Councilman Tomsic withdrawing
her motion until she had talked to State Inspector C. Don
Peterson the following day, and council agreed to hold
up payment of the Mark's Concrete Construction invoice.
Bids for trick- Council considered a request by City Administrator
ling filter pump Bretzke, at the recommendation of Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangs-
gard, to advertise for bids for a fourth trickling filter
pump at the wastewater treatment plant. Councilman Jacobs
requested running tests in June or July after the third
pump is back in operation before spending the money for the
fourth pump.
Board of Adjust- Mr. Ray Tibbett's term expired with the Board of
ment Adjustment on January 1, 1977, and is not interested in
serving another term. Jim Wiseman, Chairman of the Board
of Adjustment, said he would check for candidates to fill
this vacancy. Mayor McDougald advised Mr. Don (Adair)

committee.

Mayor McDougald informed the council that the county
was checking into the possibility of housing a permanent
FBI agent in one of the city offices. Councilman Tomsic
said she would review the situation and return with a
recommendation.
Crosswalks were requested in front of the LDS Church
on Locust Lane. City Administrator Bretzke was to take
this up with the Chief of Police.
Council reviewed the excessive workload of Building
Inspector Cecil Shaffer, and Councilman Peterson made the
motion to give the county a sixty-day notice that, effective
January 1, 1977, Mr. Shaffer's duties would be confined
strictly to the city, being no longer available for county
inspections. Councilman Barker seconded the motion, and
was carried unanimously.
Councilman Peterson questioned the results of two item
discussed at their meeting on December 21, 1976. City
Administrator Bretzke reported that he had asked City
Attorney Ruggeri, by letter, to prepare the necessary
legal forms for filing a complaint against Kim Robertson.
Also, Mr. Al Keast had been informed by telephone, and by
letter, that council had approved his request for improve-
ments to his home, and should obtain a building permit
from Building Ispector Shaffer.
Councilman Barker asked that the council consider making
immediate arrangements to spray all city trees for tent
caterpillars. Councilman Jacobs suggested contacting spec-
ialists for their recommendations and report these findings
at the next council meeting, at which time the council
would take action.
Mr. Verlin Hatch of the Division of Family Services arrived
at 9;30 P.M. in keeping with his request to be put on the
agenda. He is hoping to create a community youth program
and was open for suggestions from the City Council. Mayor
McDougald told him the city would help in any way possible,
and suggested that he contact Mr. Jay Holland to request
a meeting with the Recreation Board.
Mayor McDougald asked that the official minutes of
the regular City Council meeting of May 4, 1976, be amended
to read that Karla Hancock was appointed to a five-year
term on the Shade Tree Commission commencing June 1, 1976,
and expiring June 1, 1981. Councilman Keith Peterson's
term on this same committee expired January 1, 1977, and
he accepted another five-year term.
Councilman Jacobs said he was still working on the
sanitary landfill project, but had nothing new to report
at this time.
Bills approved
The bills were approved, with the exception of Mark's
Concrete Construction bill in the amount of $6,868.23,
on a motion made by Councilman Tomsic, seconded by Councilm n
Peterson, and passed unanimously.

Mr. Engstrom has not paid his contractors license fee of $30.00 to the City
it for the current year, plus he is in arrears on water bills, and other
charges. There is also some question regarding crushing of gravel for the
City which I will need to investigate next Monday. I will have more infor-
mation on this Tuesday.
I have requested Dave May to bring in the copy of the letter he had
received from the Federal Office of Water Research Development wherein he
wanted the Mayor to write a letter of recommendation to approve a water
research study, and as of this date, he has not brought in the letter.
N1. copy Machine for City Hall. Councilman Marge Tomsic and myself have been
working on acquiring other copy machine services during the past month.
A couple of weeks ago the county made if physically impossible to get to
their maching other than 8:00 A M. to 12:00, and 1:00 P.M to 5 00 P M.,
Monday through Friday The copy machine room has been locked at all other
times. Quite frankly, we need the use of that machine after 5.00 P M., also h
during the noon hour, and on occasion, when I work on a Saturday or Sunday.
Based on 1300 copies per month, the cost for the use of the county machine
was running $176 per month. I check on the cost of an IBM #1 Copier and f
It would run S138.85 per month for the same amount of copies I check with
Randy Spencer on a rental under a six month agreement and it would cost !Ir
1 me $154 per month for 1300 copies. Under a 24 month lease purchase
arrangement, ,t would cost $169 per month. I authorized Randy Spencer to I
1monthly
place a machine in the City Hall Office on a 30-60 day trial basis on a
rental agreement to determine whether we want to buy the machine
or not Within the next 30-60 days we will make a determination as to
hether we should purchase this machine ;

N2. Robert Engstrom was in Tuesday requesting one-third payment on his paving
contract on Special Improvement District N4. His bid on the project was
$12,394.80, and his request would amount to $3,718.48. I will have John
Keogh Check this request for payment and ask him to recommend whether we
should pay at this time or not, for consideration by the City Council at

#5. I talked with Lee J McQuivey on Wednesday, January 26, 1977, of the Corps
of Engineers inquiring as to the status of the Emergency Bank Protection
Project on Mill Creek adjacent to the high school. His office sent their
report to the San Francisco office. A few questions were raised by that
office which were answered by Mr. McQuivey. He said he expected funds to
be approved by the San Francisco office soon. However, it depends on
availability of funds, and he was going to follow up on this request
As far as the long term flood improvement project is concerned, he indi-
cated a meeting was going to be held by Dan Lawrence in Salt Lake City
on February 3, 1977, with Ken McDougald, Ev Schumaker, and Mr McQuivey
to review the studies on the floodway of Mill Creek and the reservoir in
upper Spanish Valley.

Mr. D. G. Inskip-Spykerman, new owner and operator of
the Poplar Place, was advised, upon his request for a re-
tail beer license, that the matter would have to be tabled
until the police investigation was completed at which time
the Council would hold a special meeting to make their
decision. This was passed unanimously on a motion made
by Councilman Barker, and seconded by Councilman Jacobs.
Mr. Leo Seiler of Grand Junction, manager of the Pizza
Hut now under construction in Moab, was present also making
request for a retail beer license. He, too, was informed
that the council would make their decision at a special
meeting as soon as the required police investigation report
was received.
Mr. Cecil S. Thomson, Developer of the Thomson Sub-
division, located south of Holiday Haven Mobile Home Park
and immediately west of Fifth West Street was present
requesting the City's assistance in obtaining an agreement
between the City, himself, and the owners of the Holiday
Haven Mobile Home Park to deposit his collection system
into the existing private sanitary sever main which runs
along the westerly line of the Holiday haven Mobile Home
Park, providing that the present owner grants a permanent
easement to the City of Moab for operation and maintenance
of said sanitary sewer main. The easement should provide
enough right-of-way for excavation and placing of excava-
tion materials in the event said main needs to be replaced
at any time in the future. In the event the City would

have to repair and/or replace any segment, all or in part,
of the sanitary sewer main, the owner of Holiday Haven
Mobile Home Park would be required to remove and replace
at his sole expense, any mobile home and/or accessory
structure located within said easement. Superintendent
Day said the increase of sewage waste would assist the flow
in the main and should easily service the proposed thirty-
eight residential lot subdivision. Councilman Bonser so
moved, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Barker.
The motion carried four to one, Councilman Tomsic opposing
based on the fact that the line is sixteen years old and
could require excessive maintenance problems for the City.

A letter from the Chamber of Commerce was presented
Service to the Council requesting they propose to the Public Ser-

deposit by the Utah Gas Service Co. The council was in
favor and also agreed to request in their proposal a de-

from date of billing rather than the 30 day time limit now

ing council's decision to request a concrete test on ce-
ment work done by Mark's Concrete in Special Improvement
District B4. After several referrals, a letter was mailed
to Mr. James L. Deaton, D.E., District Director of the
Utah Department of Transportation by City Administrator
Bretzke requesting the evaluation of core samples from
said concrete work and receipt of a cooperative agreement
for the City to sign. That agreement had not yet been re-

Councilman Tomsic attended a County Commission meeting
and informed them that the City did not have any available
office space for an F. B. I. agent, nor for the County
Health Nurse. She suggested they contact the BLM or the
other federal office buildings in the area.
Councilman Tomsic also inquired on the progress of the
illegal fence constructed by Kim Robertson. In the process
of moving, Attorney Ruggeri misplaced City Administrator
Bretzke's letter requesting legal action. Duplicates would
be delivered to Attorney Ruggeri the next day.
It was agreed that Mayor McDougald, City Administrator
Bretzke, and City Engineer Keogh would attend the Safer
Off -System Road program meeting to be held January 20, 1977.
The tent caterpillar spraying program was discussed,
but no action was taken. It was agreed consultation was
needed with an expert. Councilman Jacobs said he didn't see
how the City could afford the purchase of a sprayer be-
cause the revenue sharing funds are tied up for priorities.
The clean-up program will require a street sweeper; the city
needs a sewer cleaner; and two and one-half miles of water
line have to be installed. Finally, it was decided to pre-
pare a tree spraying program and present it to the county
for their suggestions and assistance.
Councilman Jacobs and Councilman Peterson strongly
agreed that the City could not contribute any more funds
to the Fire District.
City Engineer Keogh advised the Council of a woman
who had recently purchased a lot on Fifth West Street with
an open ditch across the front of the lot which prevents
access to her property. Moab Irrigation would not help
her, but did not object to a culvert being installed, and
she wanted to know if the City could help her. The council
agreed that the problem would have to be resolved at the
expense of the property owner.
City Engineer Keogh also requested the council's
approval of a variance to the Lucas Subdivision prelimi-
nary plat accepted by the Planning Commission approving
a 50 foot right-of-way. The best they can get is slightly
less than 50 feet, but more than 49 feet. Council approved
the request.
Superintendent Day advised the Council that the 4A
Well needs to be pulled and repaired and was given permis-
sion to proceed immediately.
The bills were approved as presented on a motion made
by Councilman Tomsic, seconded by Councilman Barker, and
passed unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned at 11;00 P.M. on a motion
made by Councilman Barker, seconded by Councilman Jacobs,
and carried unanimously.

2. The Kim Robertson Fence Case. I was called upstairs to the court room
Friday afternoon to meet with Judge Crist and Kim and Ron Robertson. The ?
sheriff was also present. Mr. Robertson pleaded guilty to a charge of
violation of Section 21-14 (b) which prohibits fencing within right-of-
way public streets or sidewalks. After a considerable amount of discussion
between parties, the judge ordered Mr. Robertson to remove his fence so
that it is at least five feet from the curb on either side property line,
and that no fence would be permitted across the front parallel with the
street. Mr. Robertson was given ten days from date of the hearing to
remove the fence. At the hearing Mr. Robertson gave me a list of 47
alleged fence violations within the city. After the hearing Mr. Kim
Robertson came to my office and wanted me to proceed with enforcing the
fence ordinance on this list of alleged violators. I told him if he wanted
to make a complaint he should send me a signed letter spelling out what
his complaint is, and that he could bring such a letter to the city council
meeting.

1. Recently r sent a -letter to the council from Art Maxwell regarding 75t
Eluding from EPA for facility planning of Mob's wastedater treatment
plant in relationship to Spanish Valley Water and Sever District. Last
week I received information from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
of Denver regarding the city's Natural Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NIDFS) discharge permits pnhi,e notice. I have sent a copy to
Dill Luce for his recamnnidation, and it would seem the logical thing
for the city at this time is to set up a special meeting of the council
to meet with a representative of the State Division of Health, the
Salt lake City office of Water Pollution Control Administration, and
Dill lire of Nielsen, Maxwell and Nangsgard. The purpose of such a
meeting would be to inform the city council of recent changes in the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act. I would suggest that this meeting
be held either !arch 22, or March 29, 1977 (See attached letter from
Hill Luce.)
2 I received a call from lee ArQuivey of the Corps of Engineers last Friday,
February 25th. He said that the Emergency Bank Protection Application
for Mill Creek at the high school has been approved by his office and the
Sacramento office. The application has been sent back to Washington, D C.
for approval He also stated that plans were still in the works for the
long range plan to improve Mill Creek from powerhouse Drive to Fifth West
street The only requirement the city would have to meet on this proleet
would be to acquire right-of-way easements, and relocate any existing
utility lines (sewer and water) within the work project The city would
have to add, at its expense, a third box culvert channel on Third South
Street The channel would be concrete lined from the high school to Main
Street
3. The bids on renovation of swimming pool. The Department of Natural
Resources approved a grant of $17,500 for swimming pool renovation We
received ton bids last Friday. One from Rocky M7Untaln Pools! Inc. In the
amount of *19,750 00, and the other from Aguatech Pool a Patio in the amount
of 517,382.00 My recommendation is that we award the bid to Aguatech, and
they have assured we that they can complete the project by May 1, 1977.

In regard to the Cecil Thomson request for condemnation of property
within -loliday Haven Mobile Home Park it would seem that the correct procedure
to follow in this case would be to have the city write to Mr. Steven N Lisle,
who llves in Phoenix, and explain to him the problem with the existing sanitary
sewer line which runs under the trailers along the westerly side of the trailer
park.
Rdivi-
;
on of
We sent an agreement to Mr. Thomson on February 4, 1977, outlining the
terms of utilizing this existing sewer main to service the Thomson Subdivision spray -
The owner of the park would be required to remove and replace, at his sole
expense, any mobile home and/or accessory structure located within said easement.
The easement would be ten feet wide. Mr. Thomson told me that Mr. Lisle did t' not want to sign this agreement but did not object to him obtaining a ten foot
easement immediately adjacent to the fence of the mobile home park and the gas
line that runs parallel to the fence which is approximately nine feet from the Nested
fence.
It would seem to me that in order to condemn the property for an ease-
ment, a fair market appraisal must be prepared and this amount would have to be
paid to Mr. Lisle. I feel that Mr. Thomson should be responsible for payment of
tieslegal work involved, as well as the market value of the easement, and he
shailfl_also pay for the cost of the new sewer line that would be constructed in
this right-of-way. All of this information should be discussed with Mr. Lisle

City Administrator Bretzke reviewed his memorandum State Division of
received by the councilmen in advance. He had recommended Health
that the council meet with a State Division of Health

Discussion on the landfill project determined that a

burning by July 1, and gradually close the old dump which
should take two years at least. Council considered a
schedule for days and hours of operation, eight hours
prior to sundown, and closing on Mondays, turning over
to the sanitation department, and establishing a garbage
disposal district by the County. Will need the cooper-
ation of the law enforcement for controlling the existing
litter problem on the route to the dump. A letter would
be addressed to the Police Chief ordering the enforce-
ment of Moab City Ordinance Section 17-11. The council
approved proposing the dump and salvage operation to
Garth Tangren for $600.00 per month plus salvage, and
loaning a city truck, tractor, and backhoe to the dump
as needed. Superintendent Day agreed to help out in any
way he could Councilman Bonser made the motion that the

We toured area $5 which is the head of Spanish Valley, and area N2,
the old 160 near the arches. These sites were from a list prepared by
the Bureau of Land Management.
L. i
The 45 site is 13.5 miles south of the intersection of Center and
Main Street. The last 1.2 idles is unimproved road. The second place
we visited was area $2 which is 11 miles north of Center and Main, by going
north where old Highway 160 cams onto Highway 163, and south of the Dead
Horse turn off. The old 160 road would not'be conducive to heavy truck
traffic. The committee unanimously agreed that area $5 was the first
choice for the future land fill site.

made a complete tour of the Murray, Magna, and South Salt Lake City wastewater treatment plants. We were quite impressed with the South Salt
Lake City plant, and the Murray plant, however, we had some reservation
about the Magna treatment plant. While in Salt Lake city we visited
Mr. Bennie Schmidt at the Utah League of Cities and Towns, and also had a
a tour of the Nielsen, Maxwell i Wangsgard engineering offices conducted
r by Mr. Bill Luce. Mr. Luce also spent time discussing the cities respon-
- .—ibililles in meeting EPA pollution standards as of July 1, 1977. We
feel that at the present time our plant will be in fairly good shape pending
the outcome of our experience with the three recirculating pumps between
the primary clarifier and the trickling filter. Mr. Luce has written to
EPA asking them not to put any more pressure on us until we have had a
better experience factor established on the use of these two reconditioned
pumps. Mr. Severns indicated that he was going to increase the flow into
the trickling filter and perhaps this should make some difference on our
final monthly test results from Ford Chemical. The South Salt Lake city
plant was a model for anyone to look at. It was well maintained and a
very clean plant. I must compliment Joe Severns and Emil Schocknmmiyer on
their housekeeping and maintenance of our local plant. I feel that they
are doing an excellent job at keeping this plant up. We found out for
sure that there isn't any two sewer plants constructed in the same manner
anywhere in the United States, however, they all use the same principle
of treatment, more or less.
5. Discussion of Walter Pugh regarding his apartment complex on Third South
Street: Mr. Pugh will be in this week to obtaih a building permit for a
four -unit apartment building immediately behind the Virginian Motel. His
plans are to eventually contruct seven different buildings for a total of
28 apartment units. His access to this apartment complex will be Third
South Street, with no improvements to be made on Second East Street. If
you recall, Mr. Pugh was in to visit the council in July of 1976. At this
time the council had discussed deeding one-half of the street right-of-way
on Third South to him, and the other half to the property owner in the
A -frame house on the corner of Third South and Second East. Also. in
dedicating this right-of-way in this manner to these two property owners,
the property owner in the A -frame home would take over the responsibility
of maintaining Second East Street, and Mr. Pugh would extend the curb and
gutter an additional 50' easterly to this existing paved street right-of-way.
If this is the wishes of the city council, we will proceed in completing
II1` this arrangement.
1 6. Mr. Charles Belson, who is planning on extending a water line to his
property in Sinda Heights Subdivision outside the city limits: Mr. Nelson
has been in contact with the city regarding this matter previously and he
would like to install PVC water pipe to serve three lots he Owns in this
subdivision. it is our understanding he would be tapping on to a line that
VMS previously laid by Mrs. Bentley or Mrs. Key, from the Kentwood Trailer
Sales. At this time the subdivision,where the Bentwood Trailer Sales was,
is served by 6" water line and Mr. Nelson would have to extend this line
approximately 300' to serve the residences he presently has under construction.

A special meeting of the Moab City Council was called
to order at 8:30 P.M. by Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald in the coun-
cil chambers. Present were Councilmen Dixie Barker, Keith
Peterson, and Marge Tomsic, City Administrator Dave Bretzke,
City Engineer Keogh, Street -Water -Sewer Superintendent Lynn
Day, and Karen Mitchell. The special meeting was requested
by the Grand County Water Conservancy District and members
of that organization present were K. E. McDougald, Ev Schu-
maker, Bill Hines and Betty Bowen.
Ken McDougald explained that the Corps of Engineers would
be in town April 7, 1977, regarding channel improvements, right
of way for creek bottom, some needed work on the Third South
bridge for which the Utah Department of Transportation may
participate in funding. At this time the District will re-
quest approval of the Mill Creek Dam Project consisting of
a 100 surface acre lake with 2800 to 3000 acre feet of water
storage, plus a multi -purpose line for culinary and agricul-
tural uses. Water would flow from Mill Creek through the
Shelley Tunnel. A gravity flow line would be installed to
the present city line. The water would be used initially
for agricultural use with an exchange of water from farm
wells for culinary use by the city.
The initial Mill Creek Dam Project was estimated to Mill Creek D;4 6 9
cost $3,000,000 which has increased to over $8,000,000, and Project
the proposed newidam site would amount to approximately
$3,000,000. The irrigation water would serve an additional
700 to 1000 acres of agrncultural lands. It was estimated
that 1400 acre feet would be available for culinary purpose ,
1000 of that amount for the city, and 400 to serve Spanish
Valley. An acre foot of water should serve the needs'of on
family. The State could fund $1.5 million, interest free,
on a thirty year note. An additional $1.5 million bond is-
sue would have to be floated from Grand County at large.
The Conservancy District was also requesting funds from the
Four Corners Regional Commission. At the present time one
mill levy,county wide, brings in $26,000, and they are goin
to approach the voters for three mills for $78,000 to hope-
fully take care of useage increasing and would not have to 1 an
on the mill levy after five to ten years. The remainder of
the cost will be paid on an annual basis of $130,000 per
year over a thirty year period, of which $50,000 + will
come from agriculture, and $79,000 ± will come from culi-
nary water,;
The project would take three years to construct; the
first year, possibly the tunnel development; the second
year, a water line to the valley; the third year, construc-
tion of the lake. The project cannot proceed without parti
C*j
0 cipation by the city. It was recommended that the city
would start acquiring water in 1981, or upon completion of
Q the dam, and the city would acquire the following amounts
U of water:
V 600 acre feet - 1981 $42,000
700 " - 1982 $49,000
800 " " - 1983 $56,000
900 " " - 1984 $63,000
1000 " " - 1985 $70,000
$280,000 (5 years)
Average cost per 1,000 gallons = 21.4¢
The $70,000 figure would include maintenance and oper-
ation of the facility. The City Administrator indicated
that the cost of pumping all city wells this past fiscal
year from all water sources was .0346¢ per 1,000 gallons.
Councilman Peterson made the motion that the City of
Moab accept the offer from the Grand County Water Conser-
vancy District to purchase water beginning in 1981, or
when water becomes available, based on the formula indi-
cated above, stipulating the City of Moab have the right to
purchase water above the 1,000 acre feet if needed. The
motion was seconded by Councilman Barker, and passed un-
animously.
Mr. Curt Young, representing_Moab Irrigation Company, Moab Irrigation Comp
reported they had ordered the pipe for the irrigation ditch pany
behind Emerald Subdivision. He made request to the city
council that the city participate with the installation
of the 21" culvert pipe and Mayor McDougald assigned this
request to Superintendent Day.
Prior to the public session the council discussed with Lucas Subdivision
Gary Lucas the four lot subdivision he is deve)oping on
West Second North, known as Lucas Subdivision. The city
council agreed to participate with up to $600 of water line
cost to extend a 6" main from First West approximately 400'
to his four lot subdivision. Mr. O. C. Wiggle and Mr. C.
R. Zimmerman are to pay for the line in front of their
properties. The city council also agreed to allow Mr. Luca.
to install 6" Class 150 PVC Plastic Pipe for the water line
from First West to the subdivison, with a 4" PVC line to ru
southerly to Walnut Lane, thereby looping the water system.
The PVC pipe must meet the recommended specifications pre-
pared by Nielsen, Maxwell and Wangsgard on March 23, 1977.

A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called
to order by Mayor Wm. Dean McDougald at 8:00 P.M. in the

Harold Jacobs, Keith Peterson, and Marge Tomsic, City Admin-
istrator Dave Bretzke, Street -Water -Sewer Superintendent
Lynn Day, City Engineer John Keogh, City Attorney Hank Ru-

ter "Bud" Walker, and Les Erbes.
The corrected minutes of the April 5, 1977, regular
City Council meeting were approved on a motion made by Coun-
cilman Baonser, seconded by Councilman Tomsic, and passed
unanimously.
Lea Ellis, owner of the P & W Trailer Court confronted
the City Council regarding maintenance responsibility of the
+ 20" strip of city property on the north side of her trail-
er court along Second East Street. She was advised that there
is a 99" street dedication of Second East, however, the
street is only 60" wide and, although this strip belonged
to the city, the city did not have funds to maintain the un-
improved strips of land within this 25 block radius. Coun-
cilman Jacobs, City Administrator Bretzke, and City Engineer
Keogh will make a survey of the entire 25 block area. Coun-
cilman Tomsic made the motion that the council make a defin-
ate decision as soon as tFiis survey was completed, and to
act on their recommendations. Councilman Peterson seconded
the motion. Mayor McDougald felt the city would have to re-
tain 10' from the back of the curb becuase of the utility
easements. Councilman Bonser abstained from voting because
of conflicting interest, and the motion carried with the vote
of the three remaining councilmen.
Mr. Lester "Bud" Walker informed the council he had
been under the impression that all he was required to do
in order to get final approval of his Walker Subdivision
Addition W2 consisting of three lots was to divert the flow
of the channel, thereby protecting his property from flood-
ing. He was told that the city could not allow him to divert
the water and pass the hazardous conditions on to other pro-
perty owners. The preliminary plat had been approved by the
Planning Commission stipulating that Mr. Walker's dam would
have to meet the approval of City Engineer Keogh. Mr. Keogh
had suggested that Mr. Walker approach the soil conservation-
ist about dam construction as he was not in favor of approv-
ing hiw own dam design. It was concluded that Councilman
Jacobs and City Administrator Bretzke would help Mr. Walker
In contacting Kedric Somerville, the soil conservationist,
or his recommendations the following day.

locate his river expedition business on Lots 17 and 18,
Block E, Plat B of Utex Subdivision which fronts on North
Main and is zoned commercial on two sides. Utex Subdivision's
Restrictive Covenant clause has complicated this move for

New City Building Inspector Larry Brundage appeared
before the council explaining the city did not have a need
for a full time inspector and would be willing to conduct
a joint city -county inspection department upon the council
approval. Councilman Barker made the motion to integrate
a City -County Euilding.Inspector on a six month's trial ba
sis providing him with a part-time secretary with the unde
standing that the department would perform under city jur-
isdiction at a salary of $1,200 per month. Councilman Tom
sic seconded the motion. It was determined that all fees
would be collected by the city and departmental costs woul
be divided 50-50. The fees collected for -county permits
would be applied toward the 50% of the_total cost of opera
ing the department. Costs will be calculated monthly and
the county billed accordingly. Also, the county commissio
ers agreed to direct their requests or complaints through
Councilman Tomsic, thereby eliminating more than one boss.
During the meeting Mayor McDougald telephoned County Com-
mission Chairman Leo Burr informing him of council's motio
and to see if the county would agree to adopt building cod
identical to;those of the city. Mr. Burr agreed. The
motion passed=unanimously.
Police Chief Mel Dalton presented the written job ap-
plication of John Mealey asking the council's consideratio
for employment with the Police Department. Councilman Tom
sic made the motion to hire Mr. Mealey on a 90 day trial
period, Councilman Barker seconded, and was passed unanim-
ously.
Mayor McDougald discussed the Grand County Water Con-
servancy District's request to the city concerning a speci
service district. Advice from the District's bonding agen
was that the conservancy district should proceed with form
ing a special service district primarily for construction
of the dam, and not be involved with distribution and
charges. Further review by their attorney and the city
attorney will be necessary before any action is taken by
the city council.
City Administrator Bretzke brought up a discussion co
cerning Chapter 26, City Code, Water and Sewer, Section
26-40 through 26-55 as it applies to extensions and additi
to the water and sewer system. Bretzke has been following
the Code as close as practical, regarding requiring develo
er and land subdividers to pay for all installation charge
for water and sewer mains serving new developments, includ
ing installation of five hydrants at the developers expens
this plus charging the required customer connection fee fo
both water and sewer. This was formerly $200 each for bot
water and sewer, and recently was raised to $300 each with
the enactment of new water and sewer rates.

In prior years, there was a surplus over operation an
maintenance expense, which allowed the city to contribute
towards expense of extending water and sewer lines to sery
new developments, but with the expenditures in excess of
$200,000, this present year in adding new trunk water line
and new wells, the City Administrator could not see how th
City could continue this practioe.

the mdnutes of that meeting:
On May 26, 1977, Mrs. Johnson resubmitted the Johnson
ubdivision plat to the Planning Commission for approval,
s the original improvement date had expired January 1,
1974. i It was determined by the Planning Commission that
the ten lost do not meet the new 90' wide subdivision re-
�uirement, but the Board expressed no objection. They did
stipulate that property owners would be required to sign
an agreement acknowledging responsibility for subdivision
requirements as outlined in the Moab City Code before buil
ing permits would be issued. Jim Wiseman so moved adding
a sidewalk requirement and time limit for improvements.
Sam Taylor seconded the motion, and it was passed unanim-
�usly. Mrs. Johnson was advised that she would have to
petition the Board of Adjustment for a lot size variance
and that the Moab City Council would consider final ap-
proval.
It was the consensus of opinion of the Council that
Lots 5, 6, 7 and 8 should be divided into three lots and
that perhaps a variance could be granted by the Board of
Adjustment on lot 10 and lots 3 and 4. The motion was mad
by Councilman Tomsic to reject the Planning Comm ssion re-
commendatibn. The motion was seconded by Councilman Bark
and approved unanimously. She will have to be referred to

erated his shop for 23 years and saw a zoning map which d
fined the allowable parking areas for trucks. He wondered
if it could,be expanded to include all of 4th East and is

an Wiseman asked what the policy is concerning the hiring
f new employees for the Police Department. City Admini-
trator Bretzke responded that applications are submitted
ither to the Police Chief or the City Administrator. When
vacancy occurs, the applications are reviewed by the Chief,
ho in turn recommends an applicant to the Administrator for
nterview. When the Chief and the Administrator agree upon
n applicant, the Chief makes a criminal record check and
ersonal investigation of the applicant. This should be
one before an oral interview with an applicant and the
ity Administrator. After the oral interview, if both the
dministrator and the Chief concur on the applicant, the ap-
licant (if available) or the application form is brought
afore the City Council for an interview with the City Coun-
il. If the Council concurs with their recommendations, the
pplicant is immediately hired. CitS, Administrator Bretzke
ndicated that the Chief and he had come to a conclusion that
obertson's application would not be pursued any further.

eter repaired, and we would be able to meter all water pro-
uction in the city.

ed on this man's property. He further stated the City woul
gravel the road to the site and that he felt some type of
arrangement should be made on Mr. Nay's water bill pertain-
ing to the use of this property. It was suggested that the

for code books to sell to contractors and that the city
ould eventually get it money back on this item. It was also

mended that $25,000.00 be added to expense account number 16,

bution toward the purchase of a tractor at the Golf Course
and an additional $1,500.00 would be a cash contribution from
the General Fund and that a new account number was added in
the amount of $3,000.00 for fertilizer for the Golf Course
for a total contribution of $7,000.00.
Council then went into a discussion of the Revenue Shar-
ing budget. It was reiterated that there was approximately

Councilmen Tomsic,and Barker indicated that they would
study the possibility of increasing building permit fees to
something in line with a 40% increase rather than a 100% in-
crease and that the business licenses and contractor's licenses
would also be reviewed for changes. The, Building permit fee
nd the new building code would be adopted soon and the bus-
iness licenses would be considered for changes in the follow-
ing year of 1978-79.
The Council also decided that they would continue the
study of the personnel manual sometime after July 5 in a
special meeting.
Councilman Jacobs said that he had been talking to Mr.
Bill Shelton who lives at First East and Third South. He
and John Keogh and Lynn Day had reviewed the drainage situa-
tion at this location and Councilman Jacobs recommended that
he approach Mr. Walter Pugh about the possibility of vacating
the entire street and using the east twenty-five feet for a
private driveway to serve Mr. Shelton's property. This would
be a cement driveway to the back of this property and then
there would be a cement ditch down to Mill Creek. If the
Council could convince Mr. Shelton they would recommend that
his additional twenty-five feet of the street would be deeded
to Mr. Pugh, allowing him to have an additional seventy-fi
feet to the east of his existing property. The exact amou t
of right-of-way to be given to Mr. Shelton would depend on
the size of the street that would be constructed at this
location.

Council discussed the Special Improvement District #4 Special Improvement
in regard to Mr. Clarence Engstrom not having completed this District #4
paving project. It was the general consensus that a lette
ould be written to Mr. Clarence Engstrom, sent certified
mail, return receipt requested, that he complete the project

he fact that these LPG gas trucks traveling through town
ere not allowed to park on the streets of Moab at any time.
Chief Dalton gave a report concerning parking of trucks
ver two ton capacity on City -streets. Chief Dalton stated
hat there has been a concentrated crack down on these trucks
hroughout the City during the past month and that his first
commendation would be to do nothing but continue as before
uring the past month, advising on a individual basis, and
econdly, that First West Street be marked from Second North
o Fourth North Street with signs allowing truck parking.
ity Council recommended that the Police Department continue
oing what they had been doing in the past and refrain from

ndicated that School Superintendent Bill Meador was to con -
act Mr. G.-A. Larsen concerning his property on Fourth Nor-
h and North Main Street.

imates for installing a sidewalk on Fourth North Street from
ain Street to First West Street. It was estimated that the
istance was 470 feet and would possibly cost approximately
3,500.00 for a 5 foot wide sidewalk. Council further dis-
ussed the possibility of establishing a sidewalk improvement
isctict leading to the various schools in the city and the
eed for establishigg,such districts in the city. If a dis-
rict was established, the City could get by with 4 foot side-
alks on both sides of the street, but if sidewalks. were only
ne side that they should be at least 5 feet wide.
Mr. Kit Brown spoke to the council concerning his pre Private 297
vious request for conducting a private security and guard Security and
service within the city. Attorney Hank Ruggeri'was asked Guard Service

it prepared; but that he would have it prepared for thane t
meeting.

rather than on the 24th, which they are scheduled for this
year.
' Councilman Barker raised the question about the gar- Garbage contract
bags contract. She asked if the city was paying the con-
tractor, Bob Hawks,,based on the billing that the city sen s
out or -based on the revenue received from the customers.
City Administrator responded that they are paid on the ba-
sis of the customers who are billed rather than on actual
collection.
Councilman Barker also stated that certain dances at Dances at City Park

M newspaper and also on the P. A. system as a public dance.
She emphasized that people can have a dance at the Old,
00 City Park, but should not advertise the dance. Council
U approved of this statement.
V Council discussed the possibility of increasing the Fees for garbage
city's fee for billing Bob's Sanitation customers. Pre- collection
viously, the City has been charging $160.00'per month for
the collection of these bills. Council suggested going to
10% of the amount billed and discussed 10X versus 5%. On
a motion made by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Council-
man Tomsic, it was determined that the City would collect'
5% of the charges'made to customers and bill this back to
Bob's Sanitation. Harold Jacobs abstained and the remain-
der of the Council approved the motlon.(04/.,,h-• yr-w
Councilman Jacobs mentioned that a meeting was to be

City Engineer John Keogh discussed his and Councilman Janie and Emma
Jacob's recent visit to Emma Walker's property. He had Walker's property
talked to Janie and Emma Walker concerning filling and lan�-
scaping their property near the Mill Creek bridge. He es-
timated that there would be approximately 7,000 yards of
fill and felt that this could be used as an area to dump
excess material up to a certain level and then put gravel
and top soil on the top. Mayor McDougald recommended that
whatever agreement was made between the Walker's and the
city that it be put in writing before the actual work
started.
Engineer Keogh brought up the subject of Hobbs Sub-
division located on MiVida Drive east of McCormick Blvd.
There was a problem concerning cutting completely across
Mi Vida Drive to service each individual lot with water
service. It would be necessary to cross the'entire street
and cross under two curb and gutters'and a fibe foot side-
walk to get to this line. It was suggested that the City
make one tap for water from McCormick Blvd. easterly to
the first lot in the subdivision and then run a 6 inch
water line in front of the houses, back of curb.

City Engineer Keogh stated that a new valve had been

roblem in that neighborhood. This was a valve that had been
ecommended in 1968 by Nielsen, Maxwell & Wangsgard, but
ad never been installed.
City Administrator, Dave Bretzke, mentioned two problems.
ne, concerning Cecil Thomson's Subdivision and Kisida Sub-
ivision. Bretzke said that Al Berna had approached Judy
arshall concerning a waiver of installation of sewer line
cross Borreson's property until a corn crop is harvested at
his location. He felt that there wa no problem in letting
hem do this, however, he did indicate that his particular
ubdivision known as Thomson Subdivision had not had final
ubdivision approval by the city, planning commission or city
ouncil and that before any building permits would be issued,
he subdivision regulations shall be met and final plat ap-
roved. Council concurred with Bretzke's recommendation.
ity Administrator,Bretzke stated that he had been approached
y the county commissioners earlier that day concerning the
ity taking over maintenance and billing the customers in
isida Subdivision outside the city limits. The county com-
issioners had purchased this water system. The city council
ndicated that they had never agreed to do anything with this
ubdivision and was not interested in any dealings with it.
Bretzke indicated that he had a letter from Carl Carpen-
er regarding testing of a possibilty of using a,sand separator
evice, which is installed in the well itself rather than an
xpensive separator system on the water mains for desanding
he city water system. Bretzke was to check into this further
nd report back.
Councilman Tomsic indicated that she felt there was no
eed to have Judy Marshall attend Council meetings to take
inutes. She felt,that the tape recorder should serve to be
ufficient to make minutes of each council meeting. The meet-
ng will be taped completely and then reviewed the next morn-
ng. From this, the minutes will be taken..
Mayor McDougald indicated he had received a letter of
esignation from Don Knowles of the Planning Commission due
o the fact that he is moving outside the city. Mayor McDougald
uggested the name of Bob Nelson to replace Mr. Knowles and

City Administrator 6retzke brought up a discussion con
ceD erning Frank Hobbs regarding the Hobbs Subdivision. Mr.
Q obbs had met with Councilman Tomsic and Councilman Jacobs
nd City Administrator Bretzke on June 11 and it was decid-
d that the City would install a 6" PVC water line along
he north side of Mi Vida Drive to serve the first seven
ots from McDormick Blvd., easterly, in the Hobbs Subdivision
or water. The City would pay the expense of installing th
" line'to avoid having to cut the street for each water se
ice. It was determined that a seperate sewer connection
ould have to be made by cutting the street at least halfwa
cross to serve the 'first seven lots. Council reviewed and
oncurred with the decision made by Councilman Jacobs and
omsic.
The City Council then discussed the consideration of
ranting a 13% across the board salary increases for all
ity employees: City Administrator had provided the counci
ith a list of all city employees, both full and part time,
ndicating each employees 1976-77 salary, the budgeted 1977
8 salary, and grade and step level for each employee, and
comparison of 13% increase over 1967-77 salaries. It was
etermined that the total increase for salaries and fringe
enefits for 13% across the board increase would amount to
pproximately $20.000.00 more than what was budgeted in the
une 30th approval of the 1977-78 city budget. It was de -
ermined that the general fund would be effected by an ap-
roximate $9,000.00 increase over the 1977-78 budget that
as approved on June 30 and the balance would be charged to
he water/sewer fund.
On a motion by Councilman Wiseman, seconded by Council
n Peterson, Council decided to raise the mill levy by two
ills. City Administrator 9retzke said that one mill would
ield approximately 0,000.00 in additional revenue. On a'
ote, Council approved with Councilman Tomsic opposing.
ity Council realized that this particular motion was a mo-
ion of intent on the Council's part in the consideration o
aising funds to balance the proposed budget. This matter'
ould be discussed in detail at the June 19 public hearing
f the City Council concerning a revision of the 1977-78 c y
udget. The Council discussed alternatives for handling
alary increases and it was the general consensus of the
ouncil that they would approve paying the higher of the tw
alaries listed of those that were in the original budget
ersus the 13% increase over the 1976-77 salaries with the
xception that any employee that had less than six months
ervice would remain at the present 1976-77 salary and upon
ompletion of six months service to the city their salary

Councilman Tomsic made one final motion that the bills
e approved as presented with Councilman Barker seconding this
otion and she then excused herself from the remaining portion
f the meeting.
Mayor McDougald recognized Attorney Aldine J. Coffman,
member of the audience, petitioning the Council relating to
street right-of-way on First North between Main and First
est. He explained to the Council that the building line had
een mislocated causing a problem concerning their deed for
arold and Betty Johnson. They have asked Mr. Coffman to re -
resent them in asking the Council to narrow that portion of
irst North lying between Main Street and 100 West, which is
djacent to their property. They did not desire the entire
treet to be narrowed, but to narrow the street a distance of
11 feet along the course of the building running from the
orner of the lot on the east to approximately 7Z feet west of
he last building encroaching.
Councilman Barker moved that the Council accept the request
ade by Mr. Coffman as Ordinance No. 12-77 and she also stip-
lated that the typographical error be corrected on page 2,
f the ordinance. This motion was unanimously carried.
Mr. Delbert Oliver, owner and developer of the Robin's
est Subdivision, was present at the meeting to discuss the
greement he has with the City of Moab. Mr. Oliver informed
he Council that he had met with his attorney and they went
ver the agreement. He reminded the Council that whe: _ first
nitiated the subdivison, he put, in escrow or under an agree-
ent, $20,000.00 in the First Western National Bank with an
greement that he would put in all stipulated improvements.
e then claimed that all improvements specified had been made
nd that he had asked City Administrator Bretzke to release his
unds six or eight weeks ago. He stated that Mr. Bretzke had
nformed him that there is a potential flodd problem in this
rea. Mr. Oliver agreed with this, but he also stated that
e has met with all the specifications on the agreement, as
he flood problem was not mentioned in the agreement. He went
n to say that in view of the fact that his part of the agree-
ent. He went on to say that l,n view of the fact that his part
f the agreement had been fulfilled, he saw no reason for the
undd to be held any longer.
Administrator Bretzke pointed out that there were specifi-
ations concerning the drainage, with the Planning Commission
n the approval of the subdivision. Mr. Oliver again pointed
ut that there was no such agreement In the document he held
ith the City. He wanted to make it perfectly clear that if
he City directed him to install some sort of drainage system,
e would comply, but that there was no such stipulation in the
greement and that the City, therefore, had no right to hold
he funds any longer.
Councilman Wiseman pointed out that when the Planning Com-
ission approved the Robin's Nest Subdivision, that he was cer-
ain there were some specifications concerning adequate drain-
ge, making Mr. Oliver responsible to remedy the situation.
r. Oliver stated that this may be true, but that this had no-
hing to do with the funds being held in the bank. Mayor Mc-
ougald asked the Cit Engineer, John Keogh, to look at the
ite and make his recommendation to the Council.
Mr. Oliver once again stated that his obligations as far
s the agreement holding his funds in escrow are concerned, have
een met and that he would like his funds released. He also
tated that he would cooperate with the Council in their wishes
oncerning a drainage system, but that he would not install
culvert.
Councilman Wiseman made the motion that Council agree to
elease the funds to Mr. Oliver and the City Engineer Keogh
nspect the site and make his recommendations. Councilman
eterson seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously

following day.
Mr. Oliver brought up another problem concerning a par
cel of land that he wants to develop into two residential
lots. He stated that he is buying one lot that he would 1i
to divide into two lots and that this would exempt him from
subdivision ordinances. He stated that Mr. Bretkze insiste
that in view of the fact that he is buying the land from on
individual, he is retaining a piece of property and he is
taking another piece of property and dividing it into two
pieces of property that this constitutes a subdivision.
Mr. Oliver stated that in his opinion, and in the opin
ion of his attorney, this does not constitute a subdivision
Mayor McDougald stated that the tract of land being referre
to had already been divided once, and that if Mr. Oliver di
vlded this land that this would constitute a third division
fulfulling the definition of subdivision tract of land, mak
ing Mr. Oliver not exempt from subdivision ordinances.
Mr. Oliver pointed out that he could not be considered
a subdivider because he only has enough room to divide the
property into two lots.
Councilman Wiseman recommended that he take this case
the Planning Commission for review. Mayor McDougald asked
Mr. Oliver to bear in mind that the Planning Commission is
not a decision -making body, but an advisory board. He also
stated that under all pertinent ordinances, this matter
qualified as a subdivison, but that he felt there could `2
some kind of compromise. Mr. Oliver would be scheduled to
meet with the Planning Commission.
Next on the agenda, the Council was to review a propos
ed amendment that City Attorney Ruggeri had taken from a
Salt Lake Code regarding a private detective agency and at
the meeting concerning this was Mr. Kit Brown. Mr. Brown
said he had no intention of using guard dogs in his busines
After much discussion, Councilman Wiseman moved that
the Council accept the proposed ordinance No. 13-77 amendin
Chapter 13, Licenses, Sec. 13, Moab, City Code adopting a
new Article IV, "Private Detectives," requiring a corporate
surety bond of $1,000.00, licensing fee to be $30.00 with
an additional charge of $5.00 for each individual hired.
Councilman Jacobs seconded the motion, and it was unanimous
ly carried.
Mayor McDouglad respectfully requested the postponemen
of the appointment of Mr. Dennis Wilberg to the Board of Ad
justment, as he had not had an opportunity to discuss his
tentative appointment to the Board. Councilman Barker made
the motion to accept his request and Councilman Peterson
seconded this motion.
Councilman Jacobs made a motion to finalize the three
year garbage contract with BobTs Sanitation, with Councilma
Barker seconding the motion, the motion unanimously carried
Councilman Peterson stated tnat he would like the Coun

Street Sweeper
Council Councilman Barker discussed her concern that Council
eetings were lasting too long, and that entirely too many
roblems were being addressed to the City Council at Council
eetings, that were not on the agenda. She felt meetings
should move more rapibly and specific items should be on
the agenda. The Council generally concurred with her comments.
Councilman Wiseman inquired as to the working order of
the new street sweeper. Councilman Jacobs informed him that
it was in good condition and that it had been operated just
that afternoon.
Schedule for streets Councilman Wiseman asked about the possibility of making,
sweeper some kind of schedule for the street sweeper so that cars would
be cleared off the streets. Councilman Jacobs pointed out that
it was not possible at this time due to the fact that there
is a lack of personnel that can operate the machine.
Policeman at land- Councilman Wiseman also brought up the fact that there
fill site hould be someone to enforce the new regulations at the land -
ill site. He requested that a policeman be present at the
ite and he issue a summons to violators dumping after hours
r outside the landfill area and that the Judge should fine
iolators up to $299.00
Signs at park pro-
hibiting dogs
Councilman Wiseman also asked about signs in the city
ark prohibiting dogs. Councilman Jacobs told him that the
igns had been prepared, but there was a question as to where
hey could be posted. Councilman Wiseman also pointed out
hat Mary Rees, the park maintenance worker, brings her dog
o the park during her working hours. He stated that there
's an ordinance prohibiting any dogs at the park and that she
s in direct violation of that ordinance and that some action
hould be taken on this.
Adjournment Councilman Barker moved that the meeting be adjourned,
econded by Councilman Wiseman.
Meeting adjourned at 12:27 P.M.

Regular meeting A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to
order in the Council Chambers at 8:00 P.M. by Mayor McDouoald.
Attendance All council members were present. These included Mayor Wm.
Dean McDougald, Councllmen Tomsic, Barker, Wiseman, Jacobs and
Peterson. Also present were City Attorney Hank Ruggeri, City
Adm4-istrator David Bretzke, City Engineer John Keogh, and Water -
Sewer -Street Superintendent Lynn Day. Citizens present included
A. J. Coffman, Dr. and Mrs. Broughton, Les Erbes, Frank Hobbs,
Dick Unger, Bill Benge, Jim Walker, and Liz Ruggeri.
Minute approval On a motion by Councilman Tomsic and seconded by Councilman
tabled Wiseman, the review of the minutes was tabled until the next
regular meeting of the Council. The motion was unanimously pass-
ed.
Request for apart-
ment permit
Mayor McDougald recognized Mr. A. J. Coffman, an attorney
representing Dr. and Mrs. Broughton in their request for an
apartment permit. Mr. Coffman explained that the unit will be
Changed from owner -occupied to tennant-occupied and will remain
a single family unit dwelling. He stated that this change is
in accordance with regulations for non -conforming buildings and

uses. Councilman Wiseman motioned that the request by Dr.
and Mrs. Broughton be approved and Councilman Tomsic secon
ded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously.
The drainage problem at the Visitor Center was then
discussed. Frank Hobbs, who is building a subdivision,
south of there voiced his concern. Recently the ditch
overflowed, broke in two places and flooded down to Sam
Taylor's property on 5th West and McGill. Problems and
solutions were discussed. Councilman Jacobs stated that
the ditch is full of weeds and should be cleaned periodi-
cally since there is already debris in the ditch after it
was cleaned Monday. John Keogh stated that the south end
of the culvert is two-thirds full of mud and should be
cleaned out. The City has been trying to obtain additiona
funds to divert the floodwater elsewhere to permanently
correct the problem but until that time it was agreed that
the ditch and culvert should be kept clean.
The Council next considered the purchase of a jet
sewer cleaning machine from the Water & Wastewater Service
Company. The price of a new unit would be $9,987 and the
price of a demonstrator unit, with immediate delivery,
would be $8,649. The jet operates under 1,200 lbs. pres-
sure and has a suplemental nozzle on the side of the ma-
chine. O'Brien and F.M.C. offer similar cleaners but they
cost more initially and are more costly to service. Lynn
Day stated that he has been fighting with the existing
rod machines for quite some time. He was very impressed
with the jet sewer cleaner because it locates holes to go
through and cleans the lines much better than the present
machine. Councilman Jacobs suggested that we use the
machine to clean sewer lines, storm culverts and the bull-
dozer at the dump. Councilman Peterson motioned to pur-
chase the demonstrator machine and Councilman Tomsic sec-
onded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously.
Bids were opened for two compact pickup trucks. One
is to be used by the building inspector and one by the
animal control officer. Gaither Chevrolet submitted a
bid of $4,300 for a 1978 Chevrolet Lub. Peterson Ford
submitted a bid of $3,865 for a 1976 Ford Courier and
$4,086.51 for a 1977 Ford Courier. Both are in stock and
will be equipped with air conditioning. Councilman Wise-
man motioned to accept the trucks from Peterson Ford and
Councilman Barker seconded the motion. The motion was
approved unanimously.
The purchase of three portable two-way radios for the
Water -Sewer -Street Department was considered. David
Bretzke stated that $2,500 had been budgeted for this.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the City put the radios up
for bid with detailed specifications. Councilman Barker
seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic made a motion to table consideratio
of the Water -Sewer budget for 1977-78 and amendments to
the Water -Sewer Ordinance as it pertains to connection
fees until a special meeting Tuesday, August 9th at 8:00
p.m., and that all information relating to these two itmes
be written and delivered to the councilmen in the next two
days. Councilman Barker seconded the motion and it was
approved unanimously.
The Mayor recognized Water -Sewer Street Superintende
Lynn Day who was concerned about the street problem betwe>
Bill Shelton's property and the PAZ apartment complex on
3rd South and 1st East. Councilman Jacobs recommended the
City abandon the street to give Mr. Shelton what he wants
for 4 driveway and get PAZ to help pay for the cost of a
cement driveway to control water drainage. Councilman
Jacobs said he would try to get a decision from Mr. Shelt
on what he wants to do and report back either next Tuesda
or August 16th.

Superintendent Day wasalsoconcerned about plans to
withdraw the Multiple Use Act for a year to study its impact.
Such action by the Forest Service would have a tremendous
impact on Grand County. The County has written a formal
letter of protest and he suggested that the City do the
same. Mayor McDougald stated he would write a letter.
There will be a meeting August 11, 1977 to consider this
proposal.
John Keogh reported that a new trash rack will be
installed Wednesday in the ditch near the Visitor Center
to prevent debris from entering the culvert.
City Administrator Bretzke recommended that the City
withhold $500 from the payment to Engstrom Construction
Company until they repair damage to a guard fence near
Milt's Stop and,Eat. Councilman Barker so motioned and
Councilman Peterson seconded the motion. The motion was
approved unanimously.
Mr. Bretzke asked that the Councilman inform Judy
Marshall of any changes on who will attend Moab Reports.
All Councilman agreed to do so.
Mr. Bretzke informed the Councilman of the Utah
League of Cities and Towns annual convention to be held
September 8, 9, 10 in Salt Lake City. Councilmen agreed
to see Marsha Christensen for further information and to
make their reservations.
Mr. Bretzke informed the Councilmen that the City
has invited City Councilmen and all City employees to
attend their summer picnic to be held August 27, 1977 at
6:00 p.m. at the Old City Park. Those who wish to attend
should leave their names and $3.00 per person with Marsha
Christensen in the City Administrators office.
Mr. Bretzke informed the Council that he had been
approached by Pete Byrd for a house permit. The Council
requested that this issue be brought up with the Planning
Committee.
Councilman Tomsic wanted to know if the P.A. System
had been returned. She was told by Mr. Bretzke that it
had been.
Mayor McDougald asked about the whereabouts of the
State and American flags that had been in the Council
Chambers. Councilman Jacobs suggested calling Southeast
Elementary to see if they could be returned.
Councilman Wiseman indicated that Delbert Oliver
raised some objections to accepting a letter written by
City Administrator Bretzke concerning drainage from the
Robins Nest Subdivision. It was Councilman Wiseman's
understanding that Mr. Oliver agreed to obtain necessary
easements from adjacent property to handle the increased
velocity of storm water runoff from the Robins Nest
Subdivision. City Engineer Keogh and Mr. Bretzke discussed
three alternate suggestions for handling the storm water
which were indicated by a drawing and letter that was sent
to Mr. Oliver. It was their understanding that he agreed
to divert the water behind the Day-Nite Laundry westerly
towards Milt's Stop and Eat. Mayor McDougald said that he
did not think Mr. Oliver had to handle the water after it
left the subdivision. The City Administrator said that he
had released the $20,000 bond at the First Western Bank on
July 29, 1977. Councilman Jacobs suggested that if the
mobile home residents behind the Day -Nate Laundry had
complaints they should voice them to the owner of the
trailer park. Nor further definite action was taken on
this matter.
Councilman Tomsic stated that she wants to proceed with
the personnel policies and proceedures that had been
formulated by the Personnel Policy and Proceedures Com-
mittee under the auspices of the Utah Intergovernmental
Personnel Agency. She had asked for comments from the
Councilmen but had only heard from Councilman Wiseman.
She asked that this issue be brought up at the special
meeting next Tuesday.
Councilman Jacobs voiced extreme concern over the
County's decision to place ten fire hydrants on the main
line in Spanish Valley. He feels the City Council should
inform the County that they can install them when they se
up a water system. This line was paid for by city resi-
dents. In addition, there probably is not enough,pressur
to handle them. Councilman Barker stated that the County
did not want to take any action until after the forth-
coming bond issue. Mayor McDougald suggested charging
$5.00 to county residents to use the dump. Councilman
Barker suggested a joint meeting with the county to discus
this issue and the fire hydrant issue. It was suggested
to meet August 15, 1977 for a noon luncheon at the
Greenwell Restaurant.
Councilman Peterson motioned that consideration of
Mr. A. R. Knight's request to trade land in lieu of
Special Improvement District No. 3 assessment, curb and
gutter be tabled until the minutes of the City Council
meeting dealing with Special Improvement District No. 3
could be studied. Councilman Tomsic seconded the motion
and it was approved unanimously.
Councilman Peterson voiced concern over the conditio
of the G. A. Larsen property. Hank Ruggeri said that Mr.
Larsen had told him that he would have the building down
by August 1, 1977 or remodel it to the point that it is a
attractive building. Nothing has been done so far and th
metter will probably have to be taken to court.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the bills be approved a
listed with the exception of withholding $500 to the
Engstrom Construction Company until the fence is repaired.
Councilman Peterson seconded the motion and it was
approved unanimously.
Meeting was adjourned at 10:48 p.m.

Drainage problem

Consideration of
revision of the
Water -Sewer
Ordinance as it
pertains to
connection fees
The 1977-78 Water -Sewer Budget was then considered
for approval. Ed Claus explained how and why this budget
was put together. The State Auditor's Office requests a
cash budget while state statutes require a budget based on
full accrual. Mr. Claus said that this will create some
confusion because in a budget based on accrual, any capital
expenditure is treated as an expense, while in a cash budget
any capital expenditure is capitalized and not treated as
an expense.
Mr. Claus, Councilman Jacobs and David Bretzke felt
all that could be compared would be June and July of last
year with June and July of this year. When the variables
of gallons used, number of meters, and the rate change were
considered, it was concluded there would be about a 30%
increase over last year's figures.
Based on a 30% increase, it was estimated that water
sales will be $190,800 4s compared to $146,782 last year;
and sewer service charges would be $93,210 as compared to
$71,729 last year. Including sundry revenues ($8,300),
and interest income ($2,000), the total revenue would be
$294,310.
Most expenditure figures were increased 5 or 10% to
account for inflation. The figure for employee benefits
includes the 13% pay increase, and the figure for building
supplies and maintenance is $15,000 higher than normal this
year because the water tanks need to be painted. Total
expenditures are estimated at $258,345.
A cash ruplus of $35,965 is estimated even though the
financial statement for next year will show a loss because
of depreciation.
Councilman Wiseman moved to accept the Water -Sewer
Budget for 1977-78 as presented. Councilman Barker sec-
onded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
John Keogh, City Engineer, explained a plan to handle
the drainage problem at 300 South 100 East. 100 East, from
300 South northward approximately one block would be aban-
doned. A strip approximately 20' wide and 255' long would
be deeded to Bill Shelton who would in turn deed the re-
maining 20.5' x 250' fronting his property to the Virginian
Engerprise. Mrs. Day's son, Sarge, has indicated they have
no desire to assume ownership of their share of the abandon-
ment on the west side of the creek and north of the Shelton
property. They would.deed their portion of the abandonment
to the Virginian interest. These transactions and the
Virginian abandonment share would create a total of 0.60
acres acquired by the Virginian Enterprise. It is hoped
that the Virginian owners will agree to pave, curb and
gutter the driveway and culdesac for Mr. Shelton in exchange
for the acquired land.
The proposal has been suggested to all parties but none
have definitely agreed. Mr. Pugh indicates a lack of fi-
nances and Mr. Sheldon questions getting his appropriate
share. The Council agreed in principal with the proposal
and instructed Councilman Jacobs to come back with a def-
inite answer by the next council meeting.
There was an extensive discussion concerning re-
visions of the Water -Sewer Ordinance as it pertains to
connection fees. Councilman Jacobs explained that on an
individual lot where the City does all installation and
labor the fee is $300 for sewer and $300 for, water. It is
proposed that the City set a fee of $200 for water and $200
for sewer connection in subdivision where the subdivider
does all installation, except for the meter which is in-
stalled by the City. Councilman Jacobs suggested that this
fee is justifiable in that the subdivider is paying for per-
mission to use the services which have been paid for by City
residents. He also feels the fees are necessary in order to
pay for future expansion and maintenance because there will
not be many more individual lots developed.

Councilman Tomsic stated that the existing ordinance
has been interpreted in many different ways and everyone
has not been treated equally. She does not object to
assessing a fee, but, when a subdivider does all instal-
ation, except for the meter, a fee of $200 for each servic
is too much. Councilman Barker agreed.
At this point in the discussion Councilman Peterson
arrived.
Mayor McDougald stated that it was his opinion that
the fee for an individual lot where the City does all the
work should be twice as high as that charged in a subdi-
vision. He stated that it is not that we do not need the
revenue but that it is not fair to assess the same fee for
individual and subdivision connection. Councilman Tomsic
agreed and suggested a fee of $100 for sewer and $100 for
water connection fees.
Councilman Jacobs stated that the value of the lot is
enhanced by adding water and sewer and that the only other
alternative is drilling a well and installing a septic
tank. He further stated that most other cities of similar
size assess such fees and that the subdivider will pass
this cost on to the homeowner.
Councilman Wiseman asked if the City brings water an
sewer lines to the property line of the subdivision. The
Mayor informed him that this is the case. Councilman
Wiseman stated he did not feel that a fee of $1.00 per
foot to cut an existing street to install new lines is
enough. Councilman Jacobs stated that the City is break-
ing even with that fee.
Councilman Wiseman made a motion to establish a fee
of $100 for water and $100 for sewer connection per house
in a subdivision and that $1.50 per foot be assessed when
an existing street must be cut to install lines. Council
man Wiseman and Tomsic voted aye, and Councilmen Jacobs,
Peterson, and Barker voted nay. The motion was not carri
Councilman Peterson made the motion to establish a
fee of $150 for water and $150 for sewer connection in a
subdivision and that $2.00 per foot be assessed when an
existing street is cut to install lines. Councilman
Tomsic seconded the motion and a vote was taken. Council-
men Peterson, Darker and Tomsic voted aye, and Councilmen -
Wiseman and Jacobs voted nay. The motion wa's approved.
Councilman Tomsic requested that Subsections 6, 7, 8
and 9, Section 26-40, Ordinance No. 16-77 be amended to
assess $150 each for water and sewer connection and $2.00
per linear foot for street cuts. The revised ordinance
will be formally approved at the next meeting.
Council next considered approval of the Personnel
Policies and Proceedures as proposed by the Personnel
Policies and Proceedures Committee. Councilman Barker
questioned what would happen,if in the future there would
be a supervisor in charge of Parks and Recreation. Counc
man Tomsic stated that the policies will be updated when
situations such as this occur. Councilman Wiseman made
the motion to aCCept the Personnel Policies and Proceedur s
as presented and corrected and Councilman Peterson sec-
onded the motion. The motion was approved,unanimously.
Mayor McDougald announced the official appointment
of Dennis Wilberg to the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Wilber
will fill the position vacated by Jim Wiseman. Mayor
McDougald told Mr. Wilberg,that whenever a case involves
moving a mobile home he should abstain from voting. Mr.
Wilberg has agreed to do so.

Council considered a request by Mr. and Mrs. C. A.
Raymond, Mr. and Mrs. R. O. Cozzens, and Mr. and Mrs.
M. H. Wise to change the name of their street from Potas
Drive to Crestview Drive. No objections were raised to
this request. Councilman Barker made the motion to than e
Potash Drive to Crestview Drive through an Ordinance re-
vision. Councilman Wiseman seconded the motion and it
was approved unanimously.
Dave Johnson came before the council to see what
could be done about the water that floods in his back-
yard when the valve in the water storage tank fails to
shut off. He suggested routing the water somewhere else
or installing a gate valve. Councilman Jacobs stated ,
that it is better to close the valve at the well than
install a gate valve and there is not another place for
the water to drain. He has contacted Ross Manufactures
who made the valve and every effort is being made to
remedy the situation. When the valve is fixed, Council-
man Jacobs stated that a bulldozer and more dirt will be
brought in to repair damage.
Only one bid was submitted for the two-way radios.
Royce's Electronics vis-a-vis Motorola C Z E Inc. sub-
mitted a bid of $1,721.20 for three five watt single
frequency portable radios with external speaker mikes
and heleflex antennas and one six unit charger. Council
man Jacobs moved to accept this bid. Councilman Wiseman
seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Council considered an agreement between Pete Byrd
and the City as proposed by the Planning Commission.
Mr. Byrd desires to build a home on Lot 18, Block 2 in
Palisades Subdivision but does not want to install curb
and gutter or pave the street until a new subdivision
plat is approved. Since it is city policy to extend
services and improvements as development occurs, the
Planning Commission suggested an agreement with Mr. Byrd
wherein he will extend curb and gutter, water, sewer,
and pave the street in the event he sells the house.
Several questions were raised about such an agreement.
John Keogh questioned the legality and suggested legal
counsel. Councilmen Jacobs and Wisemen were concerned
about future development of the subdivision because of
a high water table. Councilman Barker felt that prece-
dence would be established if such an agreement were mad

has run out of money, he is not interested at this time
in acquiring approximately 0.60 acres of land on 2nd East
between 2nd and 3rd South Streets in exchange for instal-
ling pavement, curb and gutter for Mr. Bob Shelton's
driveway. Councilman Jacobs stated that he will meet with
Hank Ruggeri to see what can be done legally and get some
figures on the cost of installing a driveway and drainage
ditch to handle the runoff problem.
Councilman Barker made the motion that it -be noted

Deposit Policy.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
I. The undersigned parties (except for Utah Gas Service
Company) have submitted complaints to the Utah Public
Service Commission and/or to the Governor of the State
of Utah regarding the security deposit policy of Utah
Gas Service Company.
2. The undersigned parties have reviewed the Proposed
Security Deposit Policy which is attached hereto and find
it to be reasonable and equitable.
3. Utah Gas Service Company hereby agrees to implement
said Proposed Security Deposit Policy for a period of 12
months. At the end of 12 months Utah Gas Service Company
will evaluate the results of this policy, solicit and
review comments from the other undersigned parties and
make any modifications which Utah Gas Service Company
considers necessary and proper based on its experience
with said Proposed Security Deposit Policy.
4. The parties hereto and each of them do agree that
it is in the best interest of each of them as well as all
concerned that upon the execution of this document that
their respective complaints regarding the security deposits
of Utah Gas Service Company be deemed Withdrawn without
prejudice to the filing of similar or other complaints
not earlier than one year from the date hereof and all
parties hereto agree that the hearings presently scheduled
by the Public Service Commission of Utah relative to the
security deposits of Utah Gas Service Company may be
cancelled.
3 '7
The above Memorandum of Understanding was signed by
the City of Moab, Grand County Economic Development, Moab
Chamber of Commerce and Utah Gas Service Company.
PROPOSED SECURITY DEPOSIT POLICY
1. The security deposit provided for hereunder is to
protect Utah Gas Service Company against the risk of non-
payment for the service to be provided. In the event of
nonpayment, Utah Gas Service Company may at its sole dis-
cretion use any or all of such security deposit against an
debt obligation resulting from nonpayment.
2. The security deposit for homeowners shall be $50.
3. The security deposit for occupants of trailers, for
house renters and for apartment renters shall be $80.
4. The homeowner security deposit rate will apply to hous
renters, and apartment renters if service is provided in
landlord's name and the landlord is responsible for the bi 1.
The homeowner security deposit will also apply to occupant
of trailers if service is provided in the name of the
owner of the trailer park or the owner of the land where
M the trailer is situated. A separate deposit would then be
d+ required for each meter.
00
A 5. The security deposit for commercial customers shall be
U based on two month's estimated usage. This deposit shall
V be reduced to one month's estimated usage if the customer
establishes to the sole satisfaction of Utah Gas Service
Company that he has above credit or if the customer owns
the building or if service is in the landlord's name and
the landlord is responsible for the bill.
6. The security deposit will be refunded upon customer
application after 12 months of the customer continuously
paying his bill by the 15th of the month. For example,
the bill for service during the period June 21st through
July 20th would normally be received by the customer on or
about the 1st of August and payment would be required to b
received by Utah Gas Service Company on or before the 15th
of August.
7. Landlords must qualify pursuant to the conditions stat d
in paragraph 6 above with respect to all properties to
which service is provided in their name in order to receiv
a security deposit refund. A landlord must continue to
qualify pursuant to the conditions stated in paragraph 6

A special meeting of the Moab City Council was
called to order at 2:15 p.m. in Council Chambers by
Councilman Jacobs. Councilmen present included Barker,
Jacobs, Tomsic, Peterson and Wiseman. Also present
ere City Administrator Bretzke, Building Inspector
Brundage, Marsha Christensen, A. J. Coffman and Adrien
Taylor.
Building Inspector Brundage stated that Section
27-2-2 of the Moab City Code prohibits farm animals
ithin residential and commercial zones within city
limits but that there are numerous violations occuring.
r. Brundage requested permission to draft a letter ad-
vising people of the zoning ordinance which prohibits
such animals and that such violations are a class B
isdemeanor punishable by a $299 fine and, or six months
in Jail. Councilman Tomsic motioned that Mr. Brundage
.raft the letter, have it reviewed by the city adminis-
trator and the city attorney, and hand deliver it to
those in violation of Section 27-2-2 of tic.% Moab City
ode. Councilman Barker seconded the motion and it
as approved unanimously.
Mr. Brundage asked for clarification on how Section
7-4-2, Nonconforming Buildings and Uses should be inter-
�reted as it relates to mobile homes. (A) states that
"no further development or change in use can be undertaken
ontrary to the provisions of this Ordinance, it is the
intent of this Ordinance that nonconforming uses shall
of be increased nor expanded except where a health or
afety official, acting in his official capacity, requires
.uch increase or expansion."
r
Mr. Brundage stated that in the past it has been per-
issible to replace an existing trailer with another but
ast week City Attorney Ruggeri stated that in his opinion
uch action was an expansion of use under the above stated
ection.
r. A. J. Coffman stated that the problem with interpreting
his section revolves around whether a functional or struc-
ural definition is applied to the word 'use,' and that the
ording could be changed to clarify this point. Councilman
acobs suggested that the length of time a nonconforming
uilding may be abandoned and still be replaced be reduced
rom one year to six months to facilitate the relocation of
railers in mobile home parks and discourage these lots
eing used for trailer rentals. Councilman Peterson sug-
ested the time period be three months.
At this point Mr. Coffman suggested that a motion be
ntertained as follows: Ordinance 27-4-2 be revised to
eflect the intention that an owner occupied mobile home
onstituting a nonconforming use in its present location
ay be removed and replaced by another mobile home within

90 days and so continue as a nonconforming use providing
the mobile home replacing the one formerly removed be
located within the minimum set backs as required by the
zongin district for residential use in that zoning district.
Councilman Wiseman moved to accept Mr. Coffman's wording.
Councilman Tomsic seconded the motion and it was approved
unanimously.
Mr. Brundage requested a decision from the council a
to the cost of building permits for pre -built homes in-
stalled on foundations Foundation, footings, electrical
and plumbing systems are inspected by Mr. Brundage while
the home is inspected before it arrives in Moab. Council
man Barker moved that in the case of pre -built homes whic
are constructed and inspected outside of Moab City and
installed on foundations in Moab City that the building
permit fee be 50% of the building permit fee established
for a house constructed in Moab. Councilman Tomsic sec-
onded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Mr. Brundage stated that many sidewalks on city righ
of -way are obstructed by signs, poles and merchandise and
that he intends to write a letter to all violators. He
wanted the council to be aware of his actions. Councilma
Jacobs suggested that Mr. Brundage make a study of the
sidewalk situation on Main Street and make a recommendati
to the council of how wide sidewalks should be along Main
Street to accommodate existing utility poles, fire hydran
and driveways.
Councilman Barker motioned to adjourn at 3:45 p.m.

Larry Brundage presented his recommendation for width
of sidewalks on Main Street to the Council. Because of
light poles in the area, he suggested a sidewalk width of
6 feet. Councilman Tomsic made the motion that the City
accept this recommendation for a 6 foot sidewalk width on
Main Street. Councilman Wiseman seconded the motion and
it was approved unanimously.
City Administrator Bretzke stated that the Sidewalk
Agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation grants
$10,000 to install sidewalks as continuously as possible
for safety purposes. 1,693 linear feet of sidewalk, six
feet wide, would cost approximately $15,273. This would
complete the sidewalks on both sides of Main Street from
Pack Creek to 4th North. Mr. Bretzke asked if the City
327
could contribute the difference between the grant and the
total project cost from the General Fund, Street and
Highways Department. Councilman Barker moved that con-
sideration of the Sidewalk Agreement be tabled. Council-
man Tomsic seconded the motion and it was approved

sewage problem will be taken care of. Councilman Tomsic
seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.

CYD and Peterson voted "nay" and Councilmen Wiseman and Barke
d" voted "aye." The motion was not carried. A discussion
g ensued concerning exactly what animals the term 'livestoc '
includes and it was decided to get clarification on this
U from City Attorney Ruggeri.
City Administrator Bretzke informed the Council that City employees

I. Lee McQuivey would,like the City and County to furnish John Keogh's
time and pay for his afrvices to work with two men from the Array Corps
of Engineer office t'o survey several cross sections on Mill Creek above
and below the emergency flood bank protection area at the high school.
2. Marvin Johnson of the Utah Intergovernmental Personnel Association
called on Thursday and said he would have eight copies of the personnel
manual here next Tuesday, October 18, 1977.
3. Shelly and EmiLee Hefner were in and discussed the letter that was
sent out to all young people in town who received various swimming cer-
tificates at the pool this last summer. They felt the letter inferred
that they were not qualified instructors. Cory Tanner, Director for
Safety Programs of the American Red Cross, is obtaining letters from
some parents of children who felt that the girls did a competent job
and he in turn will write to me to authorize the girls to re -issue
Certificates to be signed by another Red Cross representative in Moab.
He also recommends that another letter be sent to all swimmers and
apologize if in any way a parent felt that the Hefner girls were not
qualified. I have agreeed to send another letter to correct this
situation.
4. Mr. Ed Claus suggested at the time he was appointed to do the
financial reporting that the council might consider having a quarterly
review of finances of the city as to how we stand against the budget
He has recommended that we do this, perhaps at a special meeting on
October 25, 1977. The September financial report should be available
by Tuesday, October 18, 1977.
5. The last time the council reviewed the dog control situation was on
September 6, 1977. I can call Leon Stocks into the meeting on October
18, 1977 if you desire.

Bill Benge, representing Mr. and Mrs. Pat Head and

problems with the Moab Irrigation ditch behind Emerald
Subdivision. On two occasions the ditch overflowed and
flooded their homes. Councilman Jacobs stated that the
ditch was dug by the city but Moab Irrigation is totally

A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called
to order at 8:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers by Mayor
McDougald. Councilmen Tomsic, Jacobs and Wiseman were
present. Also present were City Administrator Bretzke,
City Engineer Keogh, City Attorney Ruggeri, Water -Sewer
Street Superintendent Day and Marsha Christensen.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the October 4, 1977
minutes be approved. Councilman Wiseman seconded the
motion and it was approved unanimously.
Walter Pugh came before the council with three items
he was concerned about. One item is already being taken
care of, (fire hydrants). Another item was what the City
is going to do about the curb and gutter on the north side
of the Carroll Meador residence lying west of the Virginian
Motel. The third item was resolving the situation at
First East Street between 2nd and 3rd South Streets
Mr. Pugh stated that it was his understanding that
the curb, gutter and paving west of his property would
be done by the city. Mayor McDougald questioned Mr. Pugh's
statement Councilman Jacobs stated that this issue was
discussed and that the city would do something about
getting either Mr. Meador or the city to pay for the cost
of these improvements. It was the general concensus of
those present that the question of vacating and improving
First East Street had not been resolved.
Councilman Tomsic moved that we have the minutes
checked that deal with these issues and see what action
was taken by the council and that the results of this
survey be sent to Mr. Pugh and the council. Councilman
Wiseman seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Bill Hines of the Grand Valley Fire Protection District
came before the council to discuss plans for handling sewage
on property they want to lease from the city for a sub -fire
station. He stated that a holding tank will be installed
if sewer lines have not reached this area by the time the
station is built next year. Councilman Jacobs moved that
the city lease the land to the Grand Valley Fire Protection
District for a period of 50 years. Councilman Tomsic sec-
onded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic moved that Building Inspector Brundage
attend the Utah Plumbing Inspectors Association Annual
Business Meeting and Educational Seminar in St. George on
November 10, 11, and 12, 1977. Councilman Wiseman seconded
the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Bill Benge, representing Mr. and Mrs. Pat Head and
Larry Ing came before the council to discuss drainage
problems with the Moab Irrigation ditch behind Emerald
Subdivision. On two occasions the ditch overflowed and
flooded their homes. Councilman Jacobs stated that the
ditch was dug by the city but Moab Irrigation is totally
responsible for it The ditch was designed to handle both
irrigation and flood water, but boards had lodged in the

igation may be avoided.

that the city and county help pay for John Keogh's servives
in providing additional cross sections on Mill Creek for
their flood protection plan. This would amount to about

$300 or $400 each for the city and county. The Corps
has made the request because they are short of money.
Councilman Wiseman moved that the city contact Mr.
McQuivey and get an idea of what the Corps eventually
wants to do with this project. Councilman Tomsic
seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
City Administrator Bretzke presented a plan to the
council wherein sidewalks could be installed at various
places along Main Street between 4th North and the south
city limits, thus creating continuous sidewalks. This
could be accomplished by using the $10,000 grant from
the Utah Department of Transportation and approximately
$900 from the city's General Fund, Streets and Highways
Department. Councilman Wiseman moved that the city enter
into a Sidewalk Agreement with the Utah Department of
Transportation for $10,000 and that the city contribute
approximately 10% of the cost to accomplish this project.
Councilman Tomsic seconded the motion and it was approved
unanimously.
Leon Stocks, the Animal Control Officer, came before
the council to present his animal control report for the
months of September and October. Mr. Stocks questioned
the legality of issuing citations as this is not mentioned
in the City Code but was handled by council action. He
also stated that violators have not been fined for cita-
tions. City Attorney Ruggeri stated that it is legal to
issue the citations and it was his understanding that
the purpose of issuing citations was to correct the dog
problem and not collect revenue through fines. The
council agreed with this position.
City Attorney Ruggeri stated that the courts are in
conflict regarding what animals are included under the
term 'livestock' and suggested that the city go ahead
with assuming that livestock includes fowl and see what
happens after the letters are delivered to violators of
Section 27-2-2 prohibiting livestock within city limits.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the bills be approved
for payment as presented. Councilman Jacobs seconded
the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the council authorize
Mayor McDougald to sign resolutions regarding city owned
easements and right-of-way on the Emergency Bank Pro-
tection Project of the Array Corps of Engineers along
Mill Creek. Councilman Wiseman seconded the motion and
it was approved unanimously.
Meeting adjourned by mutual consent at 11:40 p.m.

Mr. Lee Kuhre of the Anshutz Corporation presented a
status report on their oil and gas development activities
in the Book Cliff area of Grand County. Two of their state
leases were included in a State Roadless Area and through
the efforts of Grand County residents, a preferred south
access route to the sites was finally approved by the
State. However, the most practical route from the south
must cross Indian and private land. Neither group is
receptive to such a road at this time. Mr. Kuhre offered
a formal thank you to the citizens of Moab and Grand
County for their support.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the final plat of Utex
Subdivision, Plat C, Paul Cox developer, be approved and
that the word 'purchaser' be changed to 'developer' on
the plat. Councilman Barker seconded the motion and it
was approved unanimously.

a ..roved unanimously.

appoint Harold Jacobs as the city's elected official
and Mary Ann Murray as the citizen representative to
the Solid Waste Disposal Committee and that the Council
recommends the appointment of Lyle Jamison to the Board
of County Commissioners for consideration as the govern-
ment representative. Councilman Tomsic seconded the
motion and it was approved unanimously. Councilman
Barker also moved that it be the Council's recommendation
that the length of terms for members of the Solid Waste
Disposal Committee be set up like those of the Water
Conservancy Board. Councilman Tomsic seconded the
motion and it was approved unanimously.
Tom Stocks, Citizens Party Candidate for Mayor,
requested permission to have a party member at each
election district to monitor. Councilman Wiseman moved
that the Citizens Party be allowed to have a monitor at
each polling place. Councilman Tomsic seconded the
motion and it was approved unanimously.
Councilman Wiseman moved that Building Inspector
Brundage's request to attend a week long workshop on
the Energy Conservation Code be approved. Councilman
Tomsic seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Councilman Jacobs moved that the lease agreement
with the Grand Valley Fire Protection District be signed.
Councilman Tomsic seconded the motion and it was approved
unanimously.
At the October 18, 1977 City Council Meeting, Walter
Pugh had asked what the city was going to do about curb
and gutter on the north side of the Carroll Meador pro-
perty west of the Virginian Motel on second south. At
that time it was requested that the minutes be checked
to see if any agreement was made in this matter. At an
on -site meeting on June 8, 1976, the minutes state that
331
City Administrator Bretzke recommended "complete pavement
and curb and gutter on the south side of Second South
Street from Main Street to the dead end of the street.
The city to pave and curb and gutter from Main to west
right-of-way of Pugh Zuckerman property." No formal
action was ever taken. Councilman Tomsic moved that the
city notify Mr. Pugh that the city is not going to assume
the expense of curb and gutter from Main Street to the
Pugh Development on Second South. Councilman Wiseman
seconded the motion. Councilmen Barker, Jacobs and
Peterson were opposed to the motion. It was agreed that
Mr. Pugh should come before the council to discuss the
matter.
City Administrator Bretzke stated that only one Sidewalks on
person had approached him concerning bids for sidewalks on Main Street
Main Street. Mr. Bretzke had a new proposal to make in
this matter, i.e., old sidewalks could be repaired. This
would avoid the issue of installing new sidewalks at no
cost to property owners while property owners in the past
have installed them at their own expense. It was the
Council's decision to honor the motion made previously and
proceed with obtaining bids for the construction of new
CO sidewalks on Main Street.
d"
M Councilman Peterson questioned what was being done Status of Croasmun
L.?about the Croasmun property on Main Street north of the property clean-up
v Poplar Place. City Attorney Ruggeri stated that the
wrecked truck has been moved but that a court case would
probably fall through as the only problem with the propert
is that it is unsightly and there are no statutes against
this. Mr. Ruggeri stated he would try to contact the
property owner and get some action.
Councilman Jacobs informed the Council that Ocea Salary for Ocea
Edwards still has work to do at the Old City Park and she Edwards to continue
has requested an extension of her summer pay rate until
she cannot work outside. Councilman Barker moved that we
continue Mrs. Edward's salary at the present rate as long
as the work season continues. Councilman Tomsic seconded
the motion and it was approved unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the bills be approved as Bills approved
presented. Councilman Wiseman seconded the motion and it
was approved unanimously.
Councilman Wiseman stated that the owners of the Numbers on trailers

1977 were corrected to include mention that a fence along the
west side of Main Street immediately north of Mill Creek
would be built, to be included in the State Pedestrian Safety
Sidewalk Program which is nearly completed.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the minutes of December 20, 1977
be approved as corrected. Councilman Wiseman seconded the
motion and it was approved unanimously.
Two bids were received on the City's insurance, one from
Central Utah Insurance Agency and one from Kelling Insurance.
Central Utah Insurance Agency submitted three proposals
including one with Guarantee Insurance Company and two with
Northwestern National Insurance Company (No's 1, 2 and 3
respectively) as follows:Comprehensive General Liability:
$8,155.00, $5,850.00, and $5,850.00 respectively; Automobile
Bodily Injury Liability: $2,370.00, $2,489.00, and $2,489.00
respectively; Automobile Property Damage Liability: included,
included, and included respectively; Automobile Physical
Damage Liability: $964.00, $3,468.00, and $2,429.00 respec-
tively; TOTALS - $11,489.00, $11,807.00, and $10,768.00
respectively. NOTE: Proposal N1: This bid is with Guarantee
Insurance Company and reflects the following changes as you
requested in your December 20th meeting: (1) Property
Damage Liability limit is reduced from $100,000 to $50,000.
(2) The 1958 Chevrolet ladder truck is deleted. (3) The
deductible for comprehensive coverage has been increased to
$200 and the deductible for collision increased to $500.00.
Proposal #2: This coverage is not as broad as the coverage
which was bid on December 20th with the Guarantee Insurance
Company. It does not meet with your specifications in two
areas: (1) It does not include Errors & Omissions Liability.
(2) Personal Injury Exclusion vC" is not deleted (this means
you do not have any civil rights coverage). This,is subject
to audit and if the payroll or population actually exceed
those amounts upon which the policy is based, you may be
billed for an additional premium. Comparable savings to
the Guarantee Insurance policy can be enjoyed on this North-
western National policy if you wish to increase the comprehensive
and collision deductibles. Proposal N3: This bid is the
same as the Northwestern National bid, but with a $500
deductible for collision.

Resolution #1-78
A discussion was held concerning improvements on Second improvements in
North from First West to Lucas Subdivision. Another Lucas Subdivision
lot is being created in that area and the Council
discussed whether the new lot would have to be
improved before building on it, even though the other
lots with homes already on around it aren't improved.
It was suggested by the Mayor and Mr. Bretzke that the
property owners in the questioned area be asked to sign
an,agreement that each of them will willingly improve
his lot when all of the lots are improved in the future
No formal decision was made except the new lot will not
be required to be improved at this time.
Chief Dalton requested that he be allowed to hire a new
policeman, Robin Lowry. He has interviewed him, run
checks on him and requests that he be allowed to hire
him. Councilman Wiseman stated that he has also inter-
viewed the candidate and recommends him, although not
so highly as the Chief. He so moved that he be hired.
Councilman McDougald seconded the motion and it was

one year from now due to increased workload of the City
Police Department. He stated that the officers who quit
in the past month left because of lack of advancement,
low pay, and one probably because of a better opportunity.
Councilman Barker stated that she will soon be making a
recommendation to the Council for the replacement of
Jay Holland on the Recreation Board.
Councilman Barker stated that she needs to locate a copy
of the Recreation Board's bylaws. Councilman Tomsic
stated that Ed Claus possibly has a copy of it or knows
where to locate one.,
Councilman Barker stated that she has been working with
Bill Meador in trying to arrange for a full time Community
Education Recreation Director who will work with the
City, County and School system. He would oversee and
direct the golf, swim, ball programs, etc. They will
present their findings in the near future to the Council.
Mayor Jacobs stated he feels that the park could use some
new equipment. Also, that the Council ought to think
about getting some type of supervision at the park so
that no one gets hurt and so that some of the vandalism
can be curtailed. He stated that articles and
packages have been pulled from the trash barrels at the
park with names of residents of Castle Valley on them
and he hopes that a supervisor at the park could eliminate
this.
Councilman Tomsic questioned the appointment of Carl Dixon
by the County to replace Mr. Holland on the Recreation
Board. Councilman Barker stated that the authority to do
this appointing lies in the Council, not in the Commissioners
of the County but they have become aware of their mistake
and it is on the way to being corrected. Mayor Jacobs
stated that he too feels that it is nearly straightened out
and that an appointment will be made by the City Council.
Councilman Wiseman requested that the State Highway Dept.
be requested to replace the convenience crosswalks in
middles of blocks in town. Mayor Jacobs informed him
that the State Highway Department has eliminated this
procedure.
Councilman Wiseman informed the Council that he will be
submitting a letter to them regarding the annexation of the
area of Spanish Valley that is now in San Juan County into
Grand County and voicing the support of the Council. He
feels that because the dump is out there and the mill
project will be out there, it is advisable to annex them
into Grand County and he feels that most of the residents
out there will go along with it.
Councilman Wiseman stated that he has recieved quite a few
comments about annexing parts of the Valley into the City.
He would like to see some City Fathers or ohter knowledgable
people set forth some guidelines to proceed with an orderly
and progressive annexation program for parts of the County
that adjoin the City. Mayor Jacobs agreed that annexation
is the way to go if the property adjoins the City.
Mayor Jacobs stated that he had received a call from Pearl
Bailey from Green River requesting to obtain the old dupli-
cating machine which the City used to use. He stated
that he had found it at the shop and suggested just giving
it to her since it is useless to the City anyway. Members
of the Council agreed.
Mayor Jacobs informed the Council that the City patched a
culvert down on Walnut Lane a few years ago as a favor to
the Irrigation Department and that the patch has worn out.
He has been contacted by the Irrigation Department to fix
it but has informed them that the City will do nothing
further on it and that the City is not responsible for the
repair, as it was not responsible for the original patching
but did it anyway.
Mayor Jacobs informed the Council that the County Commissioners
were not happy with the appointment of Mr. Urbanack to the
Solid Waste Board because they do not feel someone
from one of the services should be on that Board.
Councilman Wiseman moved that the appointment be confirme
Councilman McDougald seconded it and it was approved
unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic asked about the moratorium on the
water connections south of town. She feels it is not
fair to supply water to one end of town and not the other
Councilman Wiseman suggested that the Council. offer
annexation to people on the north, west and south sides o
town who reque-t water connections. Mayor Jacobs stated
that the only reason there has been discrimination, if
so called, is that the facilities don't enable people
on the south end of town to connect to the existing water
lines and that eventually plans will be made to set up
another entire system for the Spanish Valley area. Also,
the sewer and water are already okay to offer annexation
to the people west of town. Further discussion was held
about possible annexation of area into the City.
Mayor Jacobs informed the Council that a carnival from
Provo has requested permission to set up in Moab in the
Spring. Councilmen Tomsic and Peterson stated that when
the last carnival was in town, adjacent residents com-
plained to the Council and were told that since there is
no place zoned to put a carnival in Moab, no more would
be able to stop here. The Council was in agreement that
a carnival is a good thing to have stop at Moab, if it
is a clean one, because it is good entertainment for the
people and it gives the City some revenue. Councilman
Wiseman suggested that some area be re -zoned to allow
for carnivals. Mayor Jacobs will go ahead and tell the
carnival to come down. Councilman Barker stated that
Article 18, a C-2 zone states on page 25 that temporary
revivals are allowed. Perhaps the carnival could fall
under this.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the bills dated January 17
1978 and January 31, 1978 be approved and paid. Council-
man Wiseman seconded the motion and it was approved
unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the meeting adjourn.
Councilman McDougald requested that he not be shown
any minutes of any special meetings in which his
appointment was discussed. He was informed that there
were none. He further stated that he goes along with
the action taken tonight before his swearing in and
will serve as a Councilman to the best of his ability.
The meeting adjourned at 9:42 p.m.

and Councilmen Barker, Wiseman h McDougald were present.
Also present were City Administrator -Recorder Bretzke, City
Attorney Ruggeri, Chief of Police Dalton, Secretary Sandy
Martin.
Councilman Barker corrected the minutes of the Council
meeting of January 31 to show that she made the motion to
write the letter to the Director of the Division of Fuel
Cycle and Material Safety instead of Councilman Tomsic.
Councilman Wiseman moved that the minutes of the regular
meeting of the City Council of January 31, 1978 be approved
as corrected. Councilman Barker seconded the motion and
it was approved unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic came into the meeting at this point.
City Administrator Bretzke stated that the Building Inspector
had asked that the Council hold off on taking any action
concerning the repeal and adoption of a new Chapter 15 of
the Moab City Code. The matter was tabled until the next
meeting.
Mayor Jacobs stated that Keith Brewer had recommended
appointing Ron Turner to the Board of Adjustment to replace
Les Erbes. But, the Mayor has not talked to either of these
men about it. Councilman Wiseman stated that he has talked
to Mr. Brewer who stated that Ron Turner is amenable to
accepting the appointment. Mayor Jacobs will contact Mr. Turner
and report back to the Council.
Mayor Jacobs stated that he has talked to Ken Erbes about
serving another term on the Planning Commission since his
present term has just ran out and that Mr. Erbes stated
he would be glad to serve again. He will be appointed for
a five year term. There were no objections.
Chief of Police Dalton was present and requested that he be
allowed to send Steve Brownell to Salt Lake for a one day
school concerning handling of riot sticks, etc. There will
be a $45 registration fee and he would probably take one
of the police cars. Councilman Wiseman moved that Mr. Brownell
be sent to this one day school on the 28th of February.
Councilman Barker seconded the motion and it was approved
unanimously.
Mr. Bretzke informed the Council of the annual seminar on local
roads which will be held in the Council Chambers on the 9th
of February from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There will be
representatives from four counties and their inclusive cities
present. Mayor Jacobs urged members of the Council who feel
they could attend to be present.
Mayor Jacobs informed the Council that the approximately
$9,000 sign project is coming along and the inspectors were
down last week to look over the plans. Almost all regulatory
signs in town will be replaced to adhere to the Federal
regulations.
Councilman Tomsic stated that she and Councilman Wiseman have
been working on the Employee Personnel Program and will be
recommending some changes in some grade and pay steps.
Councilman Tomsic also suggested that the Council start
working on this year's budget in May and have a special
meeting each week, each being set aside for a specified
department and that the Council go over the budget in detail
and have it all ready for acceptance by the deadline. Members
of the Council agreed.
Councilman Barker reported on the Economic Development Committee
meeting. She stated that they recommended locating the new
swimming pool at the high school so the high school students
C'7

G
c.�
U
can utilize it during school and the public can utilize
it at other times. Further, Bill Meador was present at
that meeting and he concurs. She stated that the most
recent estimated price of the swimming pool is $700,000,
and they are working on a grant for it. Further, that
the priorities of the Economic Development Committee for
funding are: 1. Water, 2. Sewer, 3. Swimming Pool,
4. Golf Course, and 5. Community Center.
Councilman Wiseman questioned a statement made by the
Mayor at the Chamber of Commerce meeting saying that the
recent sidewalk project cost $3,000. The Mayor said that
he had said it cost near $10,000 and, further, it didn't
cost the City anything to do it.
Councilman Wiseman asked whether any action had been
taken on a letter received from Mr. Steen of Mi Vida
Enterprises complaining about a water bill and about a
water pump liability matter which has been going on for
quite some time. Mayor Jacobs stated that he had talked
with Mr. Steen and is taking steps to come to an agreemen
with him. The City will test his meter and see if it is
measuring accurately. Mayor Jacobs will take care of thi
problem with Mr. Steen and his water won't be turned off
pending the solving of this disagreement.
Councilman Wiseman asked why nothing has been done by th Pittman's fence
City with Mr. Everett Pittman's fence which was supposed moving questioned
to be moved at City expense. The City had given him per-
mission to put it where it is and then after he did, the
City wanted it moved back about 10 feet. So, the City is
to be responsible for having it moved. The Council'had
previously voted to move the fence but nothing has been
done. Mayor Jacobs stated that he will go see Mr. Pitt-
man and advise him that the City will have the fence mov
and a letter will also be sent to him to notify him of
it. Mr. Bretzke will contact the company who installed
the fence and see if they can come and move it as soon a
possible.
Mayor Jacobs informed the Council of the circumstances
causing the dismissal of Utilities Superintendent Dennis
Burke. Further, Mr. Burke has agreed to accept his final
check and dismissal.
Councilman Tomsic suggested that since the Council has
adopted this new Personnel Policy ; from now on the City
should enforce it and use it to fire and hire all new
employees and to regulate all present employees and
their salaries. Councilman Wiseman also recommended
this. Councilman Tomsic brought it to the Coucnil's
attention that presently Joanne Lish is at a much lower
grade and step than she should be after taking over the
job of City Treasurer.
Mayor Jacobs stated that he is having desk name plates
ordered for the employees in the City offices.
Councilman Tomsic moved that the bills be approved and
paid. Councilman Wiseman seconded the motion and it was
approved unanimously.

complaints about the dog situation down by his house.
A discussion was held about the dog problem in Moab.

presented ideas on how the gas pressure connection inspections
could be done in the future. The Mayor suggested that he and
Brundage review proposed ordinance changes with Mr. Louis
Smith, Manager of Utah Gas Service Company. Due to the fact
that a public hearing would have to take place before the
ordinance can be changed, no formal action was taken at this
time.

concerning trying to obtain,grants from HUD. The Mayor
had a negative reaction to the workshop he attended and
he got the impression that money was only available for
very poor and mostly residential projects. Councilman

for the community center or for the completion of the
Spanish Valley Water project, etc. Applications must
be in soon and multi -year financing is also available.
