County Commissioner, Winford Bunce requested the city to paylpart of
the salaries for a radio operator. The Council agreed that there was
a need for this service, but that the city did not have the funds to
participate this year.
County Commissioner, H. B. Evans, requested the city pay the $7,5Q0.00
supposably due the county on the swimming pool. Councilman Mayberry,
explained that no money was budgeted for this year and that it was his
opinion that all of this may not be due, as the city had spent approx-
imately $5,000.00 in equipment and repairs in order to open the pool
and that a considerable amount will have to be spent in the near future
to put the building in a safe and workable condition.

William Robert McConkie as City of Moab Judge.
The council recommended that Mr. H. Marsh wait for final approval on
the Bowen -Nichols subdivision plat before the council would consider
issuance of a building permit for a church building. City Engineer,
R. O. Cozzens, explained that in his opinion the property in question
was much to small for this type of building., and that he should have ,
from 20 to 30 feet more property on the east side before the lot would'
have ample area.
Chief of Police, Christensen stated that the county commissioners
thought that he would be called out in the event of any need, and in
their opinion the Civil Defense Director should be someone other than
a law enforcement officer.
The Chief, also explained the present situation regarding the safety
patrol for the school system. He stated that he is waiting for a
decision from the Slate Engineer regarding speed limits and signals on
the State highway within the City. He was instructed by the council to
contact Mr. George of the High School regarding some traffice safety
measures needed there.
Mayor McDougald, stated that he had been in contact with the Attorney
General and that he will review the transcript on the city's Water
Bonds, and will let us know of his decision as soon as this is complet-
ed.
Councilman McDougald recommended Lhat Street Depart-nent crews remove
any trees that would interfer with the curbs, gutters, and sidewalks
in the proposed Special Improvement District. The Mayor, stated that
there will be a representative from the Bonding Company in the city in
the near future to go over this project, and that we will be able to
proceed with the sections now signed up.

The regular meeting of the Moab City Council was held March 3, 1959 in the
City Hall at 8:00 P.M. Present and presiding Mayor K. E. McDougald;
Councilmen D. W. Allen, G. R. McKee, Dr. P. Mayberry, D. W. McDougald and
R. S. Parsons. Also present were City Attorney A. Reed Reynolds, City
Engineer R. 0. Cozzens and City Recorder D. Reardon. The following
citizens were also present, Mr. Mil pimpell, Ed Drake, Wally Corbin,
Bill Hines, Mars Pope, Winford Bunce'and Mrs. Gramlish and her sixth
grade class from the Helen M. Knight Elementary School.
Upon determination of a legal quorum being present, Mayor McDougald de-
clared the meeting open for business.
Minutes of the regular meeting held February 17, 1959 were read and
approved as read upon motion of Councilman Allen, seconded by Councilman
McKee and carried.
Mayor McDougald welcomed Mrs. Gramlish and her class and thanked them for
their interest in coming to the meeting. The Mayor introduced the various
city officials and explained the city departments and their operations.
Mr. Mil Pimpell and Winford Bunce representing the Chamber of Commerce
explained Senate Bill 230 and 231. This would be a State Sales Tax
and of the monies collected, $6,000,000 of this would be allotted for
State Parks of which Dead Horse Point is top priority. The Chamber of
Commerce feelings are that 3% tax is the saturation point and did not
want to go on record as being in favor of these bills if the Citjr at this
time could not afford to lower the gross business license fee to in-
stead of the 1% now being collected. The council agreed that the City
not express its opinion one way or the other but the Chamber of Commerce
could do so at their own discretion.
Mr. Bill Hines asked the council what type of threes the City would allow
to be planted in the parkways. Council explained that there would be an
ordinance passed governing this but all the necessary information had not
been obtained as yet but would be available within two weeks.
Mr. Mars Pope complained to the council of the width•of the parkway on
East 2nd North Street and requested the council to allow the sidewalk to
be installed five feet from the property line. City Engineer Cozzens
explained that this was in a commercial zone And ill this type of zone he
would not recommend any variance from the extablished one foot from pro-
perty line. The Mayor stated that he had checked with other cities with-
in the state and the system Moab City was using was common engineering
practice as this area is used for utilities, but that he would have the
Planning Commission investigate this situation and report back to the
council at a later date.
Mr. Ed Drake of the Gas Compagy and Mr. Wally Corbin of the Telephone Co.
requested the City to align the proposed curb and gutter or sidewalk to
conform with the existing Aas and telephone installations where feasible
to minimize the moving of these installations. They stated that it would
work a hardship on both companies, not only financially but there Was
also a shortage of manpower to do this work. Council instructed Engineer
Gozzens to make a preliminary survey of any future construction with the
utility companies and city council before issuing a permit for this work.
Councilman Parsons discussed the poor mechanical condition of the present
police car and stated that the Chief had used his personal oar much more
allowance allowed in the past few months. The Mayor said the Chief
should submit a bill to the City for any extra expense incurred to his
car while being used for City Police duty.
The council discussed the present police salaries with the Chief and he
explained they were fairly well in line with other cities in the State
and the police were budgeted for a $15.00 raise in July.
The Chief of Police discussed various traffic and safety problems with the
council and stated that he did not recommend a stop light in place of the
existing blinker light on Main street at 1st north.

sanitation part of the position was the more important of the two. Mr,.
Miller stated he felt the County definitely had"need of a Sanitation
Inspector and that they were looking et the building end of the work at

The Mayor announced that the main purpose of this meeting wag, for
planning for the future of the City. He then gave a brief outline of the
Master Plan that was made by Dale Despain in 1954 and what has transpired
e.since that date.
Mr. Holder then explained the growth of Cities and the ordinances and
plans that should be made to enable the Cities to handle this growth in a
more orderly fashion. Some of the problems that Mr, Holder outlined were
for the City to have a strict industrial zone that would have a tendency
to attract industry. One of the problems was trailer courts, and it was
his suggestion that there be no more trailer courts allowed within the Cit, ifilts
limits, and if it should be decided to allow more courts that there should
be a specific zone for them. Also he stated the City should make a
determined effort to see that trailers on vacant lots and in back of house
be put in trailer courts. Another point that Mr. Holder brought out was
to improve on the master street plan and when this is set up to deny build ng
permits where a future street is proposed and to also acquire the property
and build these streets as fast as money would allow. He also stated that
the future zoning and planning should be on a metropolitan basis with co-
operation between the City and County.

There being a legal quorum present, Mayor McDougald declared the meeti
open for business.
City Inginser Molder reviewed some of the City's water needs and also
present and future needsfor the Golf Course. Mr. Holder stated that the ne
of the Golf Course would be 3000PM during the growing season for the first
year or two and then their needs would be about one-half this amount, or 1
in Mr. Molder's estimation the .at feasible and economical way to ban
the Calf Course needs world be to develop Somerville Spring No. 1. At the
present this spring is contributing approximately 100 GPM to the City Water
System. With proper development this flow could be increased to 300 to 350
GPM. As the City water main from this source could take only 100 GPM of th
increased floe , the balance could ba diverted from Somerville Spring Mo. 2
for Golf Course use with no additional pumping costa to them.
Mr. Holder explained that this project would cost approximately 410,50
but that approximately one-half of this amount or '5,250.00 would have to
be spent in cleanup of tbs spring, with no water development, in order to
satisfy the requests of the State Board of Health.
Council discussed with Mr. Holder as to what percent or on what basis
the Golf Course should participate in financing this development work. Sal
of water at a reasonable rate to the Golf Association was discussed.
Mr. Molder stated that _`_: present storage needs for the City were 2,0
gallons and the present storage is only 1,200,000 gallons. The proposed
Pack Creek project was also discussed mad Mr. Holder suggested that the
City contact the M.M.F.A. regarding financing the advanced engineering on
proposed water development, mains, and storage projects.

City Engineer Holder reviewed the developments that have been
made in the past and spoke of the proposed developments for water
and sewer. Mr Holder emphasizes not only the need for water deve-
lopment, but also needed sewer improvements It was explained that
the present disposal plant would be utilized, but would need expan-
sion to take care of the increased load as at times it is over capa-
city even without any •f the increased load •f future growth. The
plan would include a secondary treatment plant as well as replacing
some existing inadequate lines in our present system.

In order to pay for the proposed bonding from revenue only, it
would requite approximately $40,000 00 more revenue from water and
sewer per year. Holder stated that he had been making a colnprehensiv►
study of the proposed water and sewer rate increases by use and should
have some accurate figures shortly. Ris preliminary study with the
present usage showed that approximately $46,000 00 could be raised by
increasing residential water use minimum to $3 00 per 3 M gallons, and
220 per M in excess of 3 M, residential sewer service minimum to be
$3 00 plus $1 75 for all over two bathrooms. Commercial minimum
water rate t. be $3 50 per 3 M gAllons, and an increase of about 30%
for all over 3 M gallons per month, Commercial sewer rates to be the
sane as residentirl. Schools would also have some sort of increase
These proposed rate increases are only preliminary.
Populati.r growth figures were discussed, and the impact potash,
oil and uranium would have o'n this growth.
'Tke Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend the pre-
liminary water planning to the City Council.

survey, but that approximately 37,000 00 had already been expended to

foi more detailed information on Pack and Mill Creeks. The possibilit
of flood control dams have been investigated. It was explained that
a more detailed engineering study be made •f Mill and Pack Creeks,
surface drainage and all tributaries leading to these creeks. This
study would take approximately two years time and they would recom-
mend to the higher authorities that this study be made. If the pro-
j posed project were finally approved for construction, the local in-
terest could have to pay for all right-of-ways, bridges, surface

Mayor IlcDougali invites City Engineer Davis Holder to bring to
light and answer some of the questions the citizens were asking re-
garding the proposes water and sewer project Mr Holier first em-
phasized that the engineering fee for actual construction was six
per cent. This fee is not exorbitant as fee schedules controlled
1y national agencies range from six per cent upward Mr Holier
further emphasizes the fact that the last water development project
was only a part of the overall master plan of Moa1't water needs and
was not a cure-all project. This same master plan for water will be
followed for years to come. Mr Holder states that the four basic
steps the City has to take are. 1. acquire water, 2. develop
water, 3. stare water, 4 sell water.
Mr. Holder further emphasized the importance of the pleposei
sewer project because this is a health factor to the entire City and
should not 1e ignores.
A proposes increase in rates to utility users was recommended
and no property tax increase would be needed to pay for the pro-
posed projects.

A special meeting of the Moab City Council was held on the
above date at 8:00 p.m. in the City Hall for the purpose of a
meeting with representatives of the Grand County Citizens 0rganiz
ation. Present were Mayor N.G. Boyd, Councilmen E.E. Provonsha,
R.S. Parsons, L. Erbes and S.E. Scharf with R. Norman being absen
Also present were City Attorney R.H. Ruggeri, Building Inspector
J. Jacques, and City Recorder D. Reardon, Grand County Citizens
Organization representatives present were co-chairmen Mitch
Williams and Jerry Maloney, Owen Malin, D.E. Byrd Iva Shields, an
Wesley Oliver.
There being a legal quorum present Mayor Boyd declared the
meeting open for business.
Jerry Maloney explained the background of the Grand County
Citizens Organization, stating that it has 150 actiie, members
who operate trailer courts or own trailers not in trailer parks.
Mr. Maloney stated that the action taken by the Council regardin
zoning and sanitation was not either legal or ethical. Mr. Melon
further stated that in his opinion the trailer park operators wer
not properly notified when the State Board of Health made a san-
itation inspection of all trailer parks. Mayor Boyd explained th
the City had requested the State Board of Health to make this
inspection, but did not establish any policy as to whether they
notified the owners or not. The Mayor further explained that
similar inspections had been made in past years and the trailer
park operators were not aware of the inspection being made at tha
time.
Mr. Maloney read an exerpt from a prospectus published by
Holiday Mobile Home Resorts, Inc. whereby they stated that the
Mayor and Council had invited them to construct a mobile home cour
in Moab. Mayor Boyd stated that the former Mayor and City Council
had contacted the Mobile Home Manufacturers Association about the
shortage of desireable trailer space. ;.,re in Moab and they in
turn contacted the firm which constructed Holiday Haven. The Mayo
further stated that this firm had not been given any more preferen
by the City than would have been extended to any other new busi.neS
moving into Moab and that the members of theCity Council, himself
or any employee had no personal financial interest in this mobile
home park in any way.
Mayor Boyd explained the reason for zoning ordinances and
stated that the City had every justification for enforcing these
ordinances..
Mr. Maloney stated that there seemed to be some conflict in t
spacing of water and sewer lines as the City ordinances state that
there shall be a minimum of 6 feet between water and sewer lines
and the State Board of Health has only a 5 foot minimum. Mr.
Maloney stated that there would be considerable expense in changin
these lines and requested that any action taken by'the City to
enforce this ordinance be -held in abeyance until this conflict in
ordinances is settled.
The Mayor and City Attorney suggested that the City invite th
state Board of Health be invited to attent a joint meeting with
the City Council and Grand County Citizens Committee.

Mr. Maloney recommended that Council rezone property to it's
highest and best use and if it is required to leave trailers there
on a non -conforming use to allow this, until such time as the
trailer might be moved or the property Is sold. It was agreed by
this committee that, all temporary permits should be complied
with as these people had made a definate contract with the City
and were allowed a specified time.
Mr. Maloney requested that a list of persons issued temporary
permits to park a trailer and all conditions of these permits
be given to him. Council agreed to comply with this request.
Mr. Mitch Williams recommended that the City should cldirify
all zoning ordinances and inform the public on why and how they
will be enforced.
City Attorney Ruggeri explained the reason for issuing a
complaint where a person refuses to remove a trailer from an
illegal parking place especially if it had been permitted to park
there on a temporary permit.
r Councilman Scharf read a letter from DR. Munsey, regarding
a hardship case where the City has requested the owner to remove
a trailer from their premises and explained the Dr.'s attitute
on this matter after he had been informed of all of the facts.
The Committee representing the Grand County Citizens Committee
Organization agreed to have its recommendation to revision and
amendments to the zoning ordinances to the City prior to the
regular meeting October 2, 1962. This is being done at the request
of Mayor Boyd.
After discussion, Councilman Provonsha made motion, seconded
by Councilman Scharf and carried to purchase a 1953 Ford truck for`
$600.00 to be used for flushing streets.

be moved, but in his opinion, was not within the jurisdiction of
the Board of Adjustment.
Mr. Ralph Miller, Jr. stated that the merchants handling the
sale of beer would appreciate it if the council would consider

ear to be authentic or a juvenile is sold beer by a disgruntled or
careless employee. Councilman Scharf stated a list of names of

ed to each establishment selling beer. Council agreed to check

The purpose of the meeting was to_interview two applicants
for the position of Chief of Police of Moab City
Mayor Boyd read a letter from Mr Karl Johnson, Chief of
Police of Grand Junction, Colorado who interviewed Mr Robert
Pipkin and Mr Robert Ritchie
Mayor Boyd then introduced Mr Pipkin Mr Pipkin stated
he thought the Police Department needed a guide post, with
information pertaining to Police procedure covering all subject
Also that more public relations was needed Officers should
conduct themselves in a gentlemanly manner at all times That
smoking in the Police car and in public view while in uniform
was not becoming an officer He also stated when hiring an
officer, the officer should have a high school education or the
equivelent, should have a slow temper and a good vocabulary, so
that roughness in speech would not be necessary Mr Pipkin
siad he thought the Sheriff and Police could work together and
that a central file system between the two departments would
benefit both departments
Mr Pipkin also said that he felt that the Highway Patrol
was doing a fine job He thought the r"--lef should do the hirin
but before firing an officer, they should have the right to a
hearing before the Council He also stated that an aptitude
test would be a good thing before hiring a man, and an investig
tion into his background would,be good All officer's should
be neat and clean - he would not tolerate a dirty officer They
would be expected to respect and take better care of their
uniforms if they bought them themselves
The officers coming on shift would be told what was to be
done, instead of written orders Mr Pipkin stated that he
would move to the City, if hired for Chief of Police and that
he felt there were some good men;on the force and some others
who could be replaced by better men
Mayor Boyd thanked Mr Pipkin for coming
Mr Robert Ritchie was then interviewed,by the Mayor and
Council Mr Ritchie was asked what he would do to up grade
the department He said that he thought the Police department
needs more respect from the public Too many people have
complained to him about the Police Department, and their in-
ability to handle situations He related an example where he
took matters right out of the City Police hands, because the
officers lacked the respect of the people involved

He feels that he can help to remedy this situation and to

Mr Ritchie also feels that the City Police and Sheriff's
rDepartment could and should work together He feels that one
central filing system would be a great help to both departments
When asked how he would instruct has men, he said everything
would be written down They would have all information on what
had been done and what more there was to do He explained at was
the Chief's duty to see that all things were carried through
Mr Ritchie said he was sure that aptitude tests were good
but that sometimes they were not accurate He thinks -that
Policemen should be slow to anger, but that he has a rotten
temper himself He also feels that the officer should try to
be friends with the drunks, petty thiefs, and criminals of all
nature, they are human beings and although he hates their guts
for trying to tear down all that you are working to build for
a better community, you get more accomplished, if they respect
you He thanks that you should be lenient with the law breaker
to a degree, for not all cases are the same and cannot be
handled the same Mr Ritchie said that not one person whom
he has had to arrest has not cooperated with him 100 per cent
Mr Ritchie said personal appearance was necessary, that
all Police officers should follow a standard set of rules, but
didn't think the public really cared if you smoked, so long as
you used good common sense He stated that there were times
and places where there should be no smoking and such, but to
give the men credit for having the experience and ability to
know when and what is offensive to people (He thinks these
are petty things )
Mr Ritchie said there was a lot to do for the new Chief
He's heard nasty remarks made about the department and a lot
of criticism He said he applied for the 3ob because so many
people had asked him to He would try to do a good Job
Mr Ritchie stated that a probation should be for all men
hired by the department He feels also that the council should
approve the hiring and faring of all men;- He feels that when
hiring a man one should rely mainly on general reactions and
qualifications. He says Moab does'nt have highly educated people
for Policemen and you can't just pick a man off the street and
make him a police officer
Mr Ritchie said he had a good Job with the Sheriff's
Department, but he felt he had something to offer the Pollee
Department and he would be an assett to the force and also
that he has the ability +^-traighten out +he department
Mr Ritchie said if he was given the Job, he would move
to town Mayor Boyd explained the six months probation to
both Mr. Pipkin and Mr Ritchie and both agreed that it was a
good thing It would give them a chance to prove or disprove
their ability

Mayor body explained that the reason for calling this special
meeting was to try and inform a smaller area of property owners of

proposed Special Improvement District #3 and estimated costs of
curb -gutter and five feet sidewalk at $4.65 per linial foot.

ction but Council agreed that a survey should be made of the

Mayor Boyd read a letter from Mr. D. H. Shields stating
that he would pay in full a delinquent water bill plus 6% in-

asked for an extension of time for one year in paying this
bill or until this place of business is reopened.
The Mayor presented plans for a shop building that were
prepared by City Engineer R. Cozzens for Council's considera-
tion. Plans showed the proposed building to be 60' by 70' or

en.
Mayor Boyd introduced Mr. Bart Lee, Tom Stocks and Aullen
Larsen representing the Moab Jaycees who explained the Pro-
gram Plan for the "Clean-up Paint -up Fix -up" campaign to be
held during the month of March, and Mr. Lee, Chairman of this
campaign, requested the use of City owned trucks and loaders
to be used on the 21st and the 28th of March to aid in the
cleaning up of the City. A request was also made for the
Council to help them on judging the contest an conjunction
with this campaign. Councilman Scharf made motion seconded
by Councilman Curfman and carried to have the City back this
campaign 100% and aid them in any way possible to make this
campaign a success.
Considerable discussion was held on the segregating of
water rights and transferring Point of Diversion from Wells

eler be allowed to sell Dog license and be instrueted not to
release dogs from ine Pond regardless of where the owners lived

ment Project number 3, and stated that Mr. Holder would have

and carried that the City recognize this association and
agreed that 60% of the commission would go to the writing
agent and the other 40% divided among the other agents xn

suranee for the City.

to minors. Mayor Boyd further requested that the City
take the same action that they had taken in the past,
and not consider reissuing a license before a period of

ment be closed for a period of thirty days and that an appli-
cation for a new license would not be considered before
August 30, 1964.
Councilman Norman objected to the Police Department
personnel being cut by one man, and stated that in his opinior
this would hamper the efficiency of the department by leav-
ing only one man on duty at all times, and that he felt
that two men should be on duty at night. Chief Hart also
expressed his opinion that an extra man was badly needed for
the safety of the City, and that the City deserves this
added protection. He added also that any number of police
duties that they had taken care of in the past would have
to be curtailed. Councilman Norman further recommended
that an,additiollal two on three mills bt'added to our mill
levy to take care of this situation and other Departments

Mr. Winford Bunee appeared before the Council and ex-
plained that he had sold a lbt on Walnut Lane to Mr. D.

Limas intended to park a trailer on this lot which is pres-
ently zoned as R-3 and is used as a "Non -conforming" use.

vided for in our subdiv,_pion ordinances, and that it be re-
zoned to R-4 to permit a trailer to remain on this property.
Mr. Limas requested that he,be allowed to riay for this
connection fee within three months period of time. Council-

note for the balance.

ing that the City make some adjustment on her sewer service

ment of $72.00 to Mrs. Nichols.

The City Council and City Attorney discussed what agree-
ment should be made with the Moab Country Club regarding

agreed that the City had done everything in their power,
and it would be up to the Board of Directors of the Moab
Country Club to propose some agreement that would be accept-
able to the City Council.

port for the Council's consideration.
Councilman Norman Reported to the Council that he had
been out of town the past few weeks trying to sell prospective
potash producers on the Moab area, and Mr. Norman stated that
in the future he could see no reason why his business would
preclude him from having a high level of attendance at Coun-
cil meetings.
The dangerous traffic situation at the inter -section of
Highway 160 and Eane Creek Boulevard was discussed as to what
should be done to eliminate this hazard. It was suggested
by Councilman Mullen that possible a yellow line in the
center of Cane Creek Boulevard would be of some help. It
was reported that the State Highway Engineer realized that
this intersection was a problem and had suggested that maybe
a curb and gutter radius be constructed and more pavement be
installed. Councilman Norman agreed to check with the Chief
of Police regarding the possiblity of painting the yellow line,
and Councilman Scharf agreed to check with the State Road
Department regarding the radius and pavement.

A fence on City property constructed by the owner
of a lot on the Northwest corner of Walnut Lane and 100
West Street was City Attorney Ruggeri in-
formed the Council that the property owner had no right
to construct this fence on City property. Also a sign
placed on this corner by Mr. Johnny Johnson advertising
the Walnut Lane Trailer Court had been removed by the

to have the sign at this location he should make some
sort of a lease agreement with the City, providing adja-
cent property owners approve.

A special meeting of the Moab City Council was held
on the above date at 7:30 P. M. in the Council Chambers.
Present were Mayor Boyd, Councilmen E. Scharf, R.
Norman, Wm. McDougald, R. Curfman and J. Mullen. Also
present were City Engineer R. 0. Cozzens, City Attorney
R. Ruggeri, Disposal Plant operator Del Taylor, Consult-
ing Engineer Davis Holder, and City Recorder Darrell
Reardon.
There being a legal quorum present, Mayor Boyd declared
the meeting open for business.
Mayor Boyd announced that Mr. Lynn Thatcher and Mr.
Howard Hurst of the State Board of Health and the Water
Pollution control Board had met with the Council at the
regular meeting held December 15, 1964, and they stated
that they did not understand the reason for the delay in
2 9 9
GO
c
the final plans for the proposed Sewage Disposal Plant.
Mr. Holder stated that the Council had instructed him
to proceed with plans for sludge removal equipment as recom-
mended by the State Board of Health and this was the reason
for the delay in completing the final plans. Mr. Holder
presented designs of two types of sedimentation tanks for
the Council's decision as to which type they would prefer.
the Circular type would cost approximately $10,500 more than
the rectangular type.
Mr. Holder stated that after this decision had been made,
the final plans were practically completed with the exception
of some chlorination equipment and that the final plans would
be completed within one week to 10 days from this date. kWith
this assurance that the plans would be completed as stated by
Mr. Holder, Councilman Mullen moved seconded by Councilman
Scharf and carried to accept the rectangular type tank and to
have Mr. Holder furnish the City with the required number of
final plans and specifications by January 20, 1965.
These plans will be immediately taken to the State Board
of Health in Salt Lake City for their consideration and then
sent to Denver for approval of the Public Health Service which
would enable the City to obtain a grant in the amount of 30%
of the total cost of the project.
Mr. Holder stated that after the plans had been in Denver
for one week or so that he would yersonally go to the Public
Health Service Office and try to expedite the approval of the
plans.
Excerpts from the meetings regarding the proposed Sewage
Disposal Plant for the past few years were read and discussed.
Mr. Holder stated that an adjustment on the engineering fees
for the past water and sewer projects was in order as these jobs
were split and would not carry the same engineering fee percent-
age that was in the original contract.
Upon Mayor Boyd's request, Mr. Holder stated that in his
opinion the total fee due him upon completion of plans and
construction of.the Sewage Disposal Plant should be $15,000.00.
This would make an increase in the over-all fee of approximately
$9,000.
After considerable discussion regarding this increase in
fee, Councilman McDougald moved that the total balance of engi-
neering fees for all phases of the water and sewer improvement
projects -be adjusted and set at $15,000.00 payable contingent
upon performance of Holder Engineering Service. From the pro-
ceeds of these fees it is understood that Cozzens Engineering
Service, City of Moab, and the Cooper Estate will be paid and
any earned balance will be paid to Holder Engineering Serviee
upon final completion and approval of the project. Motions
seconded by Councilman Curfman and carried with Councilman
Scharf casting the lone dissenting vote.
There being no further business to come before the Council,
meeting was adjourned at 10:15 P. M. on motion of Councilman

Byrd,and City Recorder Darrell Reardon.
The irrigation project being constructed jointly by the
City and County forces was discussed and it was agreed that
right-of-way should be obtained for the Irrigation Company
if a change in location of the ditch is made.
After discussion of rental equipment, Councilman Scharf
moved seconded by Councilman McDougald and carried for the
City to pay 1/2 of the tractor rental costs as the County
had agreed to pay for 1/2. The tractor is being used on
the irrigation project as neither the City or the County
own equipment of this type.
Commissioner Holyoak recommended that the City Council
and County Commissioners schedule regular meetings. Council-
man Scharf recommended that we meet on the 2nd Thursday
of every month at 8 P. M. if there are any mutual problems
to discuss.
City Engineer Cozzens explained to those present that
a different design of pipe had been used at the road cross-
ing for the irrigation ditch on 3rd East so that the Road
Grade could be lowered. This arch -type pipe used has the
same capacity as the 30" round pipe being used in the rest
of the project.
Councilman Scharf moved seconded by Councilman Norman
and carried that the City enter in an agreement with Grand
County on the employment of Arnold Holyoak as a live-stdek
Pound Keeper. His salary is to be $30.00 a month - the
County will pay this and bill the City for 1/2 or $15.00
a month. Agreement is to be dated as of December 1, 1964.
Justice of the Pea4p- Justice of the Peace Court system and the City Court
County appointed system was discussed. Commissioners stated that upon the
-Dennis Byrd to resignation of 13tho Murphy as Justice of the Peace that

The commissioners agreed that they may have been in
error in their haste in appointing Mr. Byrd after it was
explained to them that they did not have to appoint any-
one to fill this vacancy.
Judge Crist read a report on the history of the Justice
of Peace Court and matters concerning this type of court
that in his opinion was the wrong type of justice. Justice
of the Peace Byrd stated that since his appointment on
December 23, 1964, he had handled only 20 cases and had
made himself available on a 24 hour a day basis. Judge
Crist stated that he was available on a 24-hour a day
basis and was often called out at night to hear cases.
After much objection by the Council for the commissioner's
action in,appointing.Mr.,Byrsi the Justice of the Peace, the
Commissioners suggested that the easy way to handle this
would be to have Mr. Byrd resign as long as there was so
much objection to this appointment. This resignation would
be up to Mr. Byrd.

Mr. Ralph Griffin representing the Grand County School
Board spoke on the possibility of having the Navajo Indians
send their children to school here tin Moab. He explained
the Navajo Tribal Council is considering various Cities
for this purpose. 'mere would be no more than 25% indians
in any grade in the public schools, and the tribal Council
would build any dormitories necessary to house these children.
The tribal Council would like to know the feelings of the
City Council on this proposal. A Tribal meeting will be
held on February 23, 24, and 25th, and members of the City
Council are invited to attend.
Council agreed a survey should be conducted before any
decisions are made on this matter'. A Short discussion
followed. Mr.rJohniKeogh, president of the ,School Board,
also spoke on behalf of the NavajoJ'Indian's proposal.
Ray Bmniscom appeared before the Council with a complaint
that the City of Moab had written a letter to the FHA
eoneerning poor curb and gutter work in the subdivision
of,Hillside'and Oak Streets, and he stated that this letter
to'the'FHAAwas'preventing him from going ahead with present
plans to complete a subdivision. However, City,Engineer
R. 0. Cozzens explained to him that he had approved this
work and had accordingly sent a letter to the FHA confirm-
ing this fact. Mr. Branscom apparently was unaware of this.
Mr. Branscom also complained that the City had caused

because on the North end and on the upper side the con-
crete curb and gutter is failing completely through 6" of
concrete. Discussion -followed.
Mr. Winford Hume representing the Shade Tree Commission
wondered if the City would be interested in planting trees
and landscaping at the City Park. Council suggested that
perhaps Mr. Bunce could contact Mr. Alvin Stark and see
what he recommends in the way of landscaping and trees. After
the plans are worked out, Councilman McDougald suggested
we go along if the City can afford it: Chief -Hart said it
was best to keep any shrubbery at 18" heighth in a public
park.
The application of Lucian Tangren for a beer license for
Fern's Cafe and Bar was presented. Mr. Tangren wanted
to pay 1/2 the fee, which is $250.00 total, and the other 1/2
in thirty days. John Mullen moved not to allow him to pay
1/2 .now and 1/2 later but he is toviay the $250.00,
seconded by Councilman Curfman and carried. Lucian Tangren's
delinquent water bills were also discussed.
It was reported that a garbage truck had hit a septic
tank on the Ace Turner property past the J & N Machine
Shop, and that the people involved were complaining and
wanted the City to repair this septic tank. City Engineer
R. O. Cozzens stated that this was private property and
the City had no responsibility in this matter. He also
stated that it was the Garbage Company's responsibility
and they would probably have liability insurance. A dis-
cussion was held on getting these five connections on the
Sewer line. It was agreed that by ordinance they should
be connected to City sewer lines. It was also discussed
that all trailers in the City should be connected to sewer
lines, and that a survey of all unconnected trailers should
be made.
City Engineer Cozzens reported on the Sewer line in
the 300 N. area - Westerner Grill, etc.
City Engineer Cozzens reported that the completed plans
for the Sewage Disposal Plant had not been received from
Mr. Davis Holder, consulting engineer for our proposed
Sewage Disposal Plant. A discussion followed.
COUNCILMAN Mullen moved that if final plans ara
specifications are not received by Thursday January 21,

area. He explained that one of the vital factors in obtaining
this smelter for Grand County would be obtaining an Area
Redevelopment Agency loan, but that the area would have to
comply with the criteria established by ARA before such a
loan could be obtained. Mr. Byrd read parts of the law re-
garding the requirements that Grand County must meet before
this area could be designated as an ARA loan area.

ment funds.
