The first issue on the agenda was final approval of Frank
Hobbs' subdivision. Councilman Tomsic made the motion the
Council give final approval on the Hobbs Subdivision with the
stipulation the sidewalks be completed within a year, seconde
by Councilman McDougald. Councilman Wiseman had some ques-
tions concerning flooding in the area in regard to insurance
and a drainage ditch from the subdivision that leads onto
McCormick Boulevard. He also suggested a clause be added to
the motion to include that Moab Irrigation Company be notifie
that if they were negligent in their duties to take care of
the ditch, the City would take legal action against them. It
was the concenaus of the Council that this was not the respon
Q sibility of Moab Irrigation, but the City. George Russell
was present to ask who was responsible for putting in a side-
walk in front of his house where Hobbs Drive runs. Councilma

W Wiseman suggested that Administrator Koert give a complete
report to the City Council on the issue, with a possible reco

acres, more or less.
Bearings are based on the West line of Section 1 (N 0

easement along the entire East, West, and South boundaries. A
20 feet wide access easement is provided which lies South of
and adjacent to the South line and extends West with an exist-
ing -lane approximately 650 feet from the SE corner to an exist-
ing lane.
Don Peterson of the Department of Contractors, State of Utah,
was in the audience and made some comments on the recent con-
crete problem in Moab. He said he was in Moab meeting with
some of the contractors and Larry Brundage on the problem. He
stated that there were many cases of bad concrete in the state,
and the chances that the replaced concrete would hold up would
be 50/50. Mr. Peterson indicated he felt the main problem
causing so much concrete to go bad was that river -run rocks were
being used in concrete now as opposed to crushed rocks, which
were used many years ago. He said the river rocks were of dif-
ferent sizes, but because they were so smooth, they did not
help to hold the concrete together. He said rock crushers had
been outlawed 12 years ago due to environmental laws. Mr. Pet-
erson said more competition in the area in the way of batch
plants would tend to upgrade concrete quality. He suggested
the City solicit companies to start batch plants in Moab.
Councilman Wiseman asked in what form he would report on the
actions of the Department of Contractors. Mr. Peterson said
it would be in the form of a letter to Mr. Brundage.
A bid opening was scheduled to take place, but only one sealed
bid had been received. The bids were for the purchase of an
Addressograph and Graphotype machines, both refurbished, for
the City office. Councilman Tomsic made the motion the bid
opening be tabled, seconded by Councilman McDougald, approved
unanimously.
Engineer Keogh reported on the Mill Creek Project, saying it
was still on schedule. He said there was going to be some
drainage that would be running through the City park until a
ditch could be installed.
Councilman McDougald directed a question to City employee
Don Robinson in regard to the status of the wells, Number Status of wells.

used than had been predicted, but that there was still
enough water available.

Councilman Wiseman asked the Council to consider the possi State/Senior Cit.. bldg.
bility of the City renting office space in a building whic

is be put on the agenda for discussion at the next meeting.

reports on I/I.
A public hearing was held at this meeting to get citizen
input on the topic of the City paying the insurance of
the City employees' dependents. Three citizens expressed
that they were in favor of the City paying this insurance.
Bill Davis said the insurance would compensate for the
difference in police salaries of Moab and Green River,
since the policemen in Moab were getting paid less than
those in Green River. Connie Caouette said it was a need-
ed fringe benefit, and that he, personally, would not work
for an employer who did not offer this benefit. Donna
Brownell said this insurance would not affect her family
personally since her family's insurance was paid by the
County, but she felt strongly that the City should pay the
insurance for their employees' dependents. Councilman Bar-
ker emphasized that it should be called a fringe benefit
and not a raise, since it was not money directly paid to
the employees. Councilman Tomsic said she was not opposed
to fringe benefits, but was opposed to the timing of the
issue, since it was not included in the budget for this
fiscal year. She said she would still prefer to give the
employees a cash raise instead of paying the insurance.
Councilman Peterson said he was in favor of the City pick-
ing up the tab for the insurance. He stated he agreed
with Councilman Tomsic's objections, but felt the City
should not wait until next year for the insurance issue
to be brought up. Councilman Peterson then made the motion
that at this time, the City of Moab pay the cost of the
insurance coverage for the dependents of City employees,
seconded by Councilman Barker. Councilman Wiseman made
the motion for an amendment to the motion that all single
permanent employees get equal compensation in the form of
an across-the-board increase, seconded by Councilman Tom -
sic. Mayor Jacobs called for a vote on the motion for an
amendment. Councilmen Wiseman and-Tomsic voted in favor,
and Councilmen Barker and Peterson voted against the motion
for an amendment._ Mayo Jacobs voted against the motion
for an amendment to break the tie, and the motion for an
amendment -to the motion did not pass, Mayor Jacobs then,
called -for a vote on the original motion. Councilmen Bar-
ker and -Peterson voted in favor of the motion; Councilmen
Tomsic and Wiseman voted against the motion. Mayor Jac-
obs voted in favor of the motion to break the tie, and
the motion passed.
Susan Lowry was next on the agenda in regard to a water
hook-up, but she was not present at the meeting, so the
Council went on to the next issue.
Jim Smith of Community Consultants briefed the Council
on the results of their Infiltration/Inflow Study. He
passed out the written report of the study to the Council.
Mr. Smith stated their autdies were done in the early
morning hours, which was the least likely time for sewage
to be running through the sewer lines. He said 400 thous-
and gallons were found in the lines at this time, 90 per-
cent of which they estimate to be infiltration and inflow.
The bulk of this amount was inflow coming from nine bus,-
iness establishments in town. Mr. Smith made some rec-
ommendations for cutting down on the inflow into the
sewer lines, as well as improving them. He recommended
they be thoroughly cleaned. He also recommended the inflow
from the major sources be reduced. These businesses were
Miller's Shopping Center, with inflow of 60 thousand gal-
lons, per day, the Ramada Inn with a total inflow of 85
thousand gallons, and the Apache Motel, with 65 thousand
gallons of inflow per day. These three business estab-
lishments comprise over half the inflow. Mr. Smith recom-
mended that other sources be closely looked at so the City
could determine"if it is cost efficient to get rid of the
inflow from these individual businesses. He listed sev-
eral, including the Helen M.Knight School, Travelodge
Motel, Greenwell Motel, Westerner Grill, and Red's Foodtown.
These businesses comprised a total of approximately 1,000
gallons of inflow daily. Mr. Smith said the next issue
was for the City to decide on the cost efficientness of
bringing in a contractor to get rid of the infiltration,
a total of approximately 30 thousand gallons per day. He
said this would be very expensive? and probably not worth
it to get rid of only 30 thousand gallons. He recommende
the City concentrate on getting rid of the inflow from
the above business establishments.

Mayor Jacobs suggested the inflow be dumped into Pack Suggestions for getting
Creek since it was clean water. The possibility of using rid of the inflow.
it for irrigation was also mentioned. Councilman Wiseman
suggested Dave Bretzke of the Grand County Water Conser-
vancy District and Administrator Koert get together for
a possible solution. Councilman Tomsic suggested before
any decision is reached, the City should at least hear
from the Water Conservancy District. There were some
questions on the legality of dumping water into the creek
An ordinance concerning dumping of clean water into the
sewer lines (Sec. 26-61, page 216 of the Moab City Code
Bood) is on record, but there is none concerning dumping
clean water into the creek. Mayor Jacobs said the only
people who would be overly concerned about the dumping of
the water would be the Health Department, and he felt tha
would be mostly if it were sewage being dumped into the
creek, and not clean water. No motion was made for actio
in the matter.

Subdivision. The Russells' yard had been cut into in
W building Hobbs Drive, and the Russells did not feel it
was their obligation to upgrade the yard now to prevent
erosion in the area that was cut back. Mr. Koert said
the possibilities would be to plant grass or put rocks
on the slope, or build a retaining wall to prevent erosio
It was the concensus of the Council that the retaining
wall would be the best solution. Councilman Wiseman made
the motion that the City build a retaining wall of suffi-
cient'strength for the Russells, seconded by Councilman
Tomsic, approved unanimously.
Councilman Wiseman asked if the City would be desirous of State/Senior Citizens
moving their offices into the State/Senior Citizens buil- bldg. for possible
ding that is proposed to be built. There was some dis- renting.
cussion regarding bonding. Councilman Barker felt that
the possibility of owning as opposed to renting office
space should also be considered. She also said that Coun
cilman Wiseman should relay the message that the City
Council was in support of the construction of this build-
ing.

ted to the chairman of the Economic Development Board
rather than just be given to Community Development.
There were no objections to the suggestion. Councilman

10 p.m.
Administrator Koert recognized City employee Lynda Moore,
and told the Council her job as Deputy Treasurer would
go from a Grade 8-1 to a Grade 10-1.
Mr. Koert said the City had received the other bid for
the refurbished Model 1900 Addressograph and Model 6300
Graphotype machines, and a decision could be made. Ad-
dressograph/Multigraph International submitted a bid of
$2,295 for each machine plus $150 for shipping. Inter -
west Business Equipment submitted a bid of $1,250 for
the Graphotype machine and $1,750 for the Addressograph
machine. Councilman Wiseman made the motion the City,
accept the lower bid of Interwest Business Equipment, a
total of $3,000, seconded by Councilman Tomsic, approved
unanimously.
Administrator Koert asked if something could be done about
the condition of the present tennis courts, even though
new ones were planned for in the budget. He said he had
talked to Bill Meador of the school district who said if
the City resurfaced the courts, they would also be respon-
sible for maintaining them. He said Mr. Meador also knew
a tennis court expert in Salt Lake City who could come down
to offer an opinion on the resurfacing of the courts.
Councilman-Tomsic said she was in favor of having a pro-
fessional offering an opinion before any action is taken.
She also suggested it be turned over to the Recreation
Board, and seeing if other funds could be obtained other
than just City funds, such as County or school district
funds. Councilman Tomsic made the motion that the tennis
court professional be brought down from Salt Lake City
to check over the courts to see if it would, be feasible
to improve them, seconded by Councilman Wiseman, approved
unanimously.
Councilman Wiseman said the City Council should go on
record as stating the City heartily endorses Grand County's
action of initiating a polygraph machine application and
sending a man to the training school. He said there
should also be a follow-up letter to this effect, and
made a motion that the City write a letter to the County
stating the City endorses their action of taking it over.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Tomsic, approved
unanimously.
Councilman Wiseman also responded to recent Planning Com-
mission minutes regarding a request for rezoning of area
in the Utex Subdivision. The Planning Commission had
tabled the matter until the Utex Subdivision Protective
Covenants could be read and an accurate legal description
be obtained of the property requested to be rezoned from
residential to commercial zone. Councilman Wiseman rec-
ommended that Administrator Koert pass along to the Plan-
ning Commission the information that in the past, the
City Council had made the mistake of overriding the Pro-
tective Covenants in allowing Jim Sarten to put his bus-
iness there.
Councilman Peterson made a motion in the regular meeting
in view of discussion that had taken place in the execu-
tive meeting beforehand regarding the position of Recorder.
He made the motion stating that Greg Koert be appointed
to the position of City Administrator/Recorder until
the time when a separate position can be set up, and in-
creasing his salary to $18,000 per year. The motion also
included he be sworn in immediately with the salary raise
effective October 1, 1979. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Tomsic, approved udanimous1y,

Mayor Jacobs brought up the possibility of instating into Neighborhood Watch

concerned with the amount of crime and vandalism taking
place and wondered if Moab might organize this project,
which would take place in Price and Monticello, as well.
He said a man would come down from Price regarding the
program at no cost. Police Chief Dalton warned the Coun-
cil of some of the problems that might be incurred with
the instating of the program. With this program, they
had had some drawbacks in the past, but he was still in-
terested in getting together and discussing the possibil-
ities of the program. He said some of the drawbacks were
that neighbors got shakey and sometimes turned against
each other.

were made: Councilman Tomsic said one of the speakers
who spoke in favor of the City paying their employees'
dependents' insurance was not Cheryl Nyland, but Donna
Brownell, who said it did not affect her family personall
since their insurance was paid by the County. Councilman
Barker said'the third paragraph of Page 1 should be
changed to reflect that her comment that the insurance
payment would not be a fringe benefit was because money
was not being paid directly to the employees. Councilman
Barker also said that another correction should be made
to the same paragraph to show that Councilman Wiseman mad

not just an amendment to the motion. On Page 3, Paragrap

Dorothy Mizener was present in regard to the parking
problem near the Westerner Grill. She said there are still
semi -trucks that park in the red areas there without
being ticketed, and they obstruct the view as a person
is pulling out onto the street from Sog Shafer's trailer
court across the street from the restaurant. Another per-
son who lives in the trailer court protested against the
parking, and said she didn't want to put her baby's life
in danger everytime she had to pull out with the trucks
obstructing the view. Mrs. Mizener said two weeks before,
she had called the Police Department to have them come
to ticket one of the trucks. She said the officer on
duty was reluctant to give a ticket to the driver of the
truck, saying it would do no good. Mayor Jacobs said he
was going to Price the following day and would try to
stop in at the State office to talk to them about the prob-
lem, as well as talk to the Police Department to find out
who the officer on duty was. Councilman Wiseman said
Administrator Koert should also talk to Chief Dalton.
Mr. Koert said that he had been down to the Police Depart-
ment and was aware that Chief Dalton was having his offi-
cers enforce the parking law, because he had seen some
notes attached to the officers' boxes stating "Enforce
parking laws at Westerner Grill!"
Two members of the Rotary Club, Lloyd Pearson, President,
and Steve Cummings, Vice President, were present to
request from the Council permission to proceed with plans
for renovation of the Southeast City Park, just off of
Mill Creek Drive near the Southeast Elementary School.
Mr. Pearson said when the Rotary Club first got the idea
to do somthing to the park, they had thought about the
possibility of putting in a skateboard path and some
tennis courts. They later decided to put in picnic
tables and grills, instead. He said they planned to
gravel the entrance road, put in a packing area, and
level an area for ballplaying and frisbee throwing. He
said they were planning to put in some playground equip-
ment for small children and hoped that Howard Balsley's
historic cabin could be placed somewhere in the park. Mr.
Pearson briefed the Council on some of the things planned
for the park in addition to those listed above, including
the installation of restroom facilities. Mayor Jacobs
said there was no sewer line running through the park,
and they would probably have to use a septic tank for
awhile. There were some questions raised by the Council
about the safety of the Balsley cabin if it were moved
to the park. The Council was concerned about possible
vandalism to the cabin. Mr. Pearson said the plans for
moving the cabin to the park were not definite, and it
was just a suggested possibility. Councilman Wiseman
made the motion the Council indicate approval for reno-
vation of the Southeast City Park as suggested by the
Rotary Club, seconded by Councilman Barker. Councilman
Barker suggested the possibility that one of the tennis
courts planned for in the City budget be built at this
park. Mayor Jacobs said he would like to see the restroom
facilities as one of the first things planned for, even
though the septic tank may have to be used for awhile.
Mr. Commings said the Rotary Club planned to make the
restroom facilities very sturdy to deter vandalism,
saying cement would probably be used as much as possible.
Mayor Jacobs called for a vote on the motion, and it was
approved unanimously. The men said the Rotary Club would
start on the park improvements right after hunting season.
Marilyn Cooper represented the FLUF (Fight Local Utili-
ties Faction) Committee and told the Council the Committee
was attempting to get fundinb for senior citizens whose
gas bills last winter had amounted to a major portion of
their total income. She said they were still attempting
to have an audit done of Utah Gas Service's books for the
first quarter of 1979. She requested the City Council
write a letter to Millie Bernard saying the,FLUF Commit-
tee had harrassed the Council to the point where they
found it necessary to request an independent audit to
keep the Committee from continually bothering -them.
Councilman Barker said the letter should be in more of a
positive tone, saying the FLUF Committee has worked hard
and done many things for the community, and that the
audit should be done on this basis, and not just to get
the Committee off the Council's back. Councilman Barker
put this in the form of a motion, and included that the
letter be written -by Attorney Coffman, rather than the
Council. The motion was seconded by Councilman Tomsic,
approved unanimously. Mrs. Cooper asked if the ,Council
would consider donating money to the FLUF Committee as
a sort of refund for phone and gas and motel bills that
had been paid for out of their own pockets during trips
to Salt Lake City to protest Utah Gas Service increases.
Councilman Barker said there was $300 coming to the Eco-

M Administrator Koert opened the two sealed bids received Bids on police car.
O for the purchase of a new police car. The two bids were
rl Peterson Ford bidding $6,743.00, and Mahoney Cheverolet-
C.i Pontiac bidding $6,675.00. Councilman'Wiseman made the
W motion the Council accept the bid of Mahoney Chevrolet -
Pontiac on the basis that the specifications were the
same, seconded by Councilman Tomsic, a..roved unanimousl
The Mayor said in the past, the City had had a lot of
trouble keeping the Chevrolet front ends in alignment,
and strongly suggested this motion be on the stipulation
that Mahoney keep the front end aligned for a certain
length of time, or amount of miles, i.e. 15,000 miles.
Dr. Hoffman of the Spanish Valley Veterinary Clinic was Dr. Hoffman offers sug-
present to offer suggestions to the Council on the pro- gestions for cat ordin.
posed cat ordinance. He said in the past, the Animal
Control Officer had been bringing stray cats to him with-
out any ordinance on the books, and without an agreement
between him and the -City. He said the proposed ordinance
should include a fee where cat owners would be charged
for negligence as dog owners are. There was quite a bit
of discussion on the differences of dogs and cats and
what was considered to be stray. In conclusion, Dr. Hoff
man said the main things he would like to see in the cat
ordinance are a limit on the number of cats per household
and a holding permit for cats.
Susan Lowry came before the Council to request the City Request to lift W/S hook'
lift the moratorium they had established some time ago on up moratorium.
water and sewer hook-up fees for County residents who
wished to be hooked up to City water. She said some of
her neighbors who were in the County had been hooked up
to the City, and she wanted to be also. Mrs. Lowry said
she and her husband did not want to be annexed into the
City because Larry Brundage told her they would not be
able to obtain a building permit because of flood zone.
Administrator Koert said he had talked to Mr. Brundage
about the problem, and that he would be willing to have
the area rezoned to RA-1 and allow them a building permit
if it were zoned to this and they were annexed into the -
City. Mrs. Lowry stated that if they were not hooked up
to City water, they would have -to dig a very deep well
(125-150 feet), and this would be expensive. Councilman
Peterson felt the moratorium should not be lifted, but
that Mrs. Lowry apply for annexation,into the City with
a zone change to BA-1 so the building permit could be
issued. He said this rezoning shouldrbe'worked out with
Alice Hiatt as well, since she was issued a building per-
mit by Mr. Brundage without his --knowledge that she had
been annexed into the City. Councilman Barker made the
motion the Council turn down the request for the lifting
of the water and sewer moratorium, and'that`Mrs. Lowry
look into the annexation possibility and related zoning
requirements instead, seconded by Councilman Peterson,
approved unanimously.

Attorney Coffman had the subdivision agreements and final
plats for Dave Eretzke and Frank Hobbs ready for signature
by the Mayor and City Administrator, who signed them at
that time.
Councilman Barker left the meeting at this time, 10:05 p.m.
Attorney Coffman informed the Council that Redd & Stocks
Investments, Incorporated, had purchased one -sixth of
the Robertson Well and the rights to the Chapman Well for
their proposed Salana Valejo condominium project. The
City had previously made an offer of $25,000 to Ron Robert-
son for.the other one-third of the Robertson Well they
did not own because of the increasing need for water for
the City. Mayor Jacobs said he felt the City should get
as much of the Robertson Well as possible. Other sources
for water were also discussed, as well as operating costa,
including the George White Well. Councilman Tomsic made
the motion the City offer $12,500 for Redd & Stocks' one -
sixth of the Robertson Well, seconded by Councilman Wise-
man, approved unanimously.
Administrator Koert asked for approval of the Judges of
Election for the upcoming City Council election November 6.
The Council had been supplied with a list of those persons
agreeing to be counters and receivers for the election.
Councilman Wiseman made the motion the City Council accept
those listed for Judges of Election at the November 6
City Council election, seconded by Councilman Peterson,
approved unanimously.
A public hearing was scheduled for this meeting for the
purpose of salary adjustments for the City Treasurer and
Police Chief. There was no public opposition to the
changes. Councilman Tomsic made the motion the City Coun-
cil adjust -the salary of Treasurer from $879 to $1,012
per month, and the salary of Police Chief from $1,261 to
$1,324 per month, seconded by Councilman Wiseman, approved
unanimously.
Administrator Koert also mentioned House Bill 303, a muni-
cipal budget limitation bill. The bill would use a formu-
la for computing municipal budgets based on population.
Mr. Koert said Moab City had the option of going along
with some of the other towns in the state to hire an aud-
itor to come down to explain this bill and how the City
would be affected by it. The cost would be between $700
and $1,100. Mr. Koert said Ron Auger, our present auditor,
would be able to explain it just as well for a lot less
cost. It was the consensus of the Council not to hire the
other auditor for this purpose.
Councilman Peterson wondered why Fred Stoye was open for
business at his downtown A-1 Storage buildings when the
grading of the parking lot had not yet been done. Admin-
istrator Koert said that Fred Stoye would be going to the
Board of Adjustments the following week concerning the
problem, and that this should be resolved at that time.
Councilman Tomsic said that now that the City was paying
the insurance for the dependents of the City employees,
the policy manual would have to be changed to reflect this.
She also mentioned the Steve Olschewski property, which
had hay and -bricks stacked -in front of it near the side-
walk, as well as vehicles parked the wrong way. She said
they had had problems in the past with this property, and
it was requested that Administrator Koert talk to the Pol-
ice Department -about getting the stuff cleared away, or
having Mr. Olschewski ticketed.
Mr. J. J. Wang of the Apache Motel had been in to see the 1 1
Mayor and City Administrator several times the previous Request for tree trim -

tersection of Main and First North where he had had an
Apache Motel sign erected. The Council felt that since
the tree had been there before the sign was erected, and
because of the beauty of the tree, they request should be
denied.
Mayor Jacobs said when Bud Stocks was City Administrator, Increased ins. cover -
he attended an insurance seminar in St. George. After age for Jan. 1980.
attending the seminar, he felt -the City's insurance cov-
erage should be increased. The Mayor talked to Ron Davis
at Central Utah Insurance Agency, who suggested the Coun-
cil let the issue go until the renewal time of the insur-
ance, January 1980. Mayor Jacobs had a sheet listing the
proposed insurance coverage increases, which he requested
Secretary Honeycutt to make copies of for the Council and
Attorney Coffman. Councilman Tomsic also read it aloud.
The Council questioned Mr. Keogh on the bill he submitted Approval of the bills.
to the City in regard to Class C roadwork. He said it
did include some Class C roadwork, although there was als
some listed under the Class C portion of the bills. The
Council suggested that Mr. Keogh's bill be separated and
the Class C part be put under this section. Councilman
Tomsic questioned the payment of Ron Auger's bill since
t...1 the audit had not yet been completed. She made the motio

W Mr. Auger's bill and a transfer of the amount of Class C
roadwork in Mr. Keogh's bill to come out of the Class C
fund, seconded by Councilman Wiseman, a..roved unanimousl

The next ordinance in line for discussion was tabled until
a public hearing could be held by the Planning Commission,
since it concerned flag -shaped, or panhandle lots and
street lighting in subdivisions. It vas also not assigned
a number.
The last ordinance discussed was #9-79, an ordinance regu-
lating stray cats in the City of Moab. There was much dis-
cussion and proposed changes for this ordinance. The
changes proposed for this ordinance were: another method
of showing ownership of a cat in addition to collaring,
since many cats do not tolerate collars, licensing of the
cats, a holding period for strays, requiring of rabies
shots, and a limitation of cats per household.
Dr. Hoffman recommended another means for cat identifica-
tion be used in addition to collaring. He said some cats
in the past had gotten hung up on trees and things when
their collars got caught. He recommended cats be tattooed
in one ear with some sort of a registration number. He
said he could get a tattooing machine in just a few days.
This suggestion seemed well received by the Council and
audience, as long as it did not injure the cats. Dr. Hof
man said it had been done with other animals, and he woul
try it on some stray -cats first to see what the result
would be.

hold on cats put into the ordinance. A few suggestions
were made on a limitation number. Four per household was
considered too many, and it was the concensus of the Coun
cil that this number should be reduced to three.
A holding period for strays was also suggested, since thi Holding period.
was not included at all in the draft ordinance. The citi

troy any cat seemingly stray as soon as it is picked up,
and a two-day holding period was suggested to be added to
the ordinance as well.

Sale of City land for
golf course program.
Cat Ord. 119-79.
Mr. Ken McDougald came forward representing the Moab Coun-
try Club, He asked the Council to consider assigning some
60 acres of land in the immediate vicinity of the golf
course to the Country Club for disposal, the money acquired
to be put into a fund to be used for the general upgrading
and expanding of facilities at the Moab Country Club. Any
and all development would be in the recreation category.
Mr. McDougald suggested a committee or panel be established,
made up of approximately nine members, and to include a
member of the City Council, a memeber of the County Com-
mission, a member of the Country Club, and a cross-sec-
tion of the residents of Grand County. After a discussion
of the legality of the proposal, Councilman Barker moved
that Mr. McDougald present a plan at the first December
meeting outlining the proposed plan and anticipated bene-
fits to the City and Country Club. Councilman Tomsic
seconded the motion, and it was approved unanimously.
A public hearing for the proposed cat ordinance was next
on the agenda. Mrs. Coffman read the ordinance as it had
been rewritten from suggestions from the public hearing
of October 23. Mrs. Norah Eubanks felt the limit of three
cats per household should be dropped, since the licensing
and fees would automatically tend to limit the number of
cats a person could afford to keep. Discussion continued
to deciding on the amounts for licensing fees. It was
decided the amounts for cats would be the same as for dogs:
$5 for a male cat, $2 for a neutered male cat, $10 for a
female cat, and $2 for a spayed female cat. A $2.50 per
day boarding fee and a pick-up fee of $5 was recommended.
It was decided this would be added to Section 4-56 of
the ordinance, and the boarding fee and pick-up fee should
be paid to the poundkeeper, and not the City. It was
decided to leave the limit per household to three. Coun-
cilman Tomsic made the motion that Ordinance 119-79 be
accepted with the correction, licensing fee, boarding fee,
and pick-up fee, seconded by Councilman Wiseman, approved
unanimously. Mrs. Coffman said the ordinance would go
into effect 20 days after the first publication in the news-
paper: (Ordinance follows)

last meeting. He stated there were four semi -trucks with
Pennsylvania license plates parked in red areas near the
Westerner Grill. He said he explained to the lady, who
had called the Police Department to have them ticketed,
that it would do no good to give them $2 parking tickets.
He said there was little or no legal parking room for the

Resolution #13-79.
Frank Hobbs came before the Council, stating he did not
represent the Contractors Association, but only himself.
He informed the Council of recent action by the State,
saying he had been turned in by Larry Brundage for unsat-
isfactory concrete, some of which was over a year old and
some which was in his own driveway. He said he felt some
of the contractors were being turned in for concrete work
which was, in some cases, not as bad as some of the work
by contractors who had not been turned in to the State.
He felt the Council should be more aware of what was going
on and the manner in which contractors were being turned
in. There was considerable discussion and some sighting
of examples. Councilman Wiseman suggested Administrator
Koert check into this and come up with some solutions for
the problems.
Engineer Keogh had a drawing showing an easement granted
to the County by the City at the October 2 meeting. The
easement is near the Canyonlands Subdivision. Mr. Keogh
stated the road should be repositioned from what was ori-
ginally planned when the Council approved the granting of
this easement. The Council accepted the new positioning
of the road.
Mr. Keogh also requested a quit -claim from the City for a
certain piece of property on behalf of Doris Barry. This
was thought to be County land, and she had obtained a quit-
claim from them, but in a title search, discovered the
property really belonged to the City. Engineer Keogh said
it was probably a discrepancy in recording it as County -
owned ladd. Councilman Wiseman made the motion the Council
approved the quit -claim to this property, seconded by
Councilman McDougald, approved unanimously.
Mrs. Coffman had a copy of the forms to go to the banks to
change the signatures on the signature cards for the City.

Administrator Koert read the major parts of proposed Ord-
inance #10-79 aloud in a public hearing for the ordinance,
which concerns flag -shaped lots and street lighting in
subdivisions. In a recent meeting of the Moab City Plan-
ning Commission, it had been suggested the word "May" be
changed to "shall" in requiring a developer to install
street lighting in subdivisions. Reason for the sugges-
tion was so that contractors would not be constantly
coming to the City requesting they not have to put in
the street lights. Rather, they would only appear to
request a variance if it were made a requirement. There
was much discussion as to the exact meaning of the ordin-
ance concerning the street lighting section. It was sug-
gested this part of the ordinance be rewritten to clarify
the requirements. Councilman McDougald made the motion
the Council approve Sections 27-2-2 and 27-4-7 only (sec-
tions regarding flag -shaped lots) of Ordinance #10-79, with
a rewriting of Section 27-3-29 on street lighting. The

December 4, 1979
A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to
order at 8:03 p.m. by Mayor Jacobs in the City Council

Councilmen Barker, Tomsic, Wiseman, and McDougald. Also
present were Administrator Koert, Attorney Coffman, Chief

The minutes of the regular meeting of November 20 were
approved unanimously by motion from Councilman Wiseman,
second by Councilman McDougald.
The opening of sealed bids for the purchase of a small
diesel -powered tractor was scheduled, but only one bid of
four companies solicited had been received. The bid, from
Western Implement of Grand Junction, was $5,936.40 for the
tractor alone. Separate bids were also submitted for a
seeder, sprayer, and rotary mower of $198.90, $1,422.00,
and $935.10 respectively. -Each bid quoted was the list
price less ten percent. Mayor Jacobs suggested the deci-
sion on the tractor be tabled until more bids could be
received. Councilman Tomsic felt a decision should be
reached at this meeting to accept or not to accept the sub-
mitted bid, since the three other companies had been invi-
ted to bid and had not. There was also discussion about
purchasing the accessories separately from other sources,
possibly at lower prices than were bid by Western Imple-
ment. Councilman Wiseman made the motion the Council
accept the bid of Western Implement for $5,936.40 for the
tractor alone, seconded by Councilman Barker. Councilman
Wiseman asked Administrator Koert's opinion on the purch-
ase of the tractor. He replied he and the Mayor had dis-
cussed the purchase quite a bit, and he was highly in
favor of a new tractor for the City parks. Mayor Jacobs
called for a vote on the motion, and it was approved unan

the line out the back yard to the Walnut Lane sewer line.
To do this, an easement would have to be granted from Mr.
Orb Wiggle, the owner of the property behind Julie Pil•-
ling's house. Councilman Barker suggested the City Admin
istrator contact Mr. Wiggle in an attempt to resolve the
Orj matter. Councilman Wiseman added his voice to the record

City Auditor Ron Auger was present to review the complete Review of audit.
audit with the Council. Councilman Wiseman suggested
since the Council had not had a chance to go over the au-
dit beforehand, the issue be tabled until the next City
Council meeting. Mr. Auger said it was up to the Council
but that he could go over the audit fairly thoroughly in
relatively short time, so the Mayor gave him permission t
do so. Mr. Auger explained basic aspects of the audit an
answered a few questions from the Council relating to the
figures. After the review, he read a letter commending
the City staff for a good job in controlling the City
funds the past year. His main recommendation for improve
ment in the new fiscal year was for the City to draw up a
service contract with the golf course in order to elimin-
ate the illegal procedure of the golf course presenting
invoices to the City for payment, and therefore, not hav-
ing to pay tax on items not used by the City. Mr. Auger
said the golf course could obtain a tax exemption number
very easily, and this would also reduce work in the Admin
istrative offices of the City in this area.
Councilman Barker made the motion the Council dispense

expansion of the golf course, based on the sale of City
land, which had been discussed at the previous December 4
meeting. Mr. Bob Bailey, representative of Maas & Grassic,
a designing firm from Ogden, was also present, and answered
some questions about the plans. Councilman Peterson pointed

Mr. McDougald said a nine -member committee would have the
responsibility of setting up the requirements and restric-
tions for this land. He proposed the committee consist of
Rudy Higgins, Wayne Jensen, Bob Patterson, Councilman Peter-
son, Councilman McDougald, Dick Allen, Mayor Jacobs, a
County Commissioner, and himself. Mr. McDougald said with
this development, Moab City's responsibility to the golf
course would be considerably lessened. He also asked that
the City pass a resolution allowing them to proceed with
plans. Attorney Coffman said such action should be in
the form of an ordinance.
City worker Don Robinson questioned the quality of water
sources in the area if this land were allowed to be deve-
loped. Mr. McDougald said this would also be a concern of
the committee, and steps would be taken to preserve the
quality of the water.
Councilman Wiseman made the motion the City Council call
for an ordinance on how disposal of the land would be made,
and also to include a proposed deed and covenants at the
second meeting in January, so planning could be done more
intelligently. Councilman Wiseman also suggested advettis-
ing for a public hearing.
There was more discussion'of the plans. Mr. McDougald said
that even though the plans were not detailed, some decisions
should soon be made. Councilman Peterson spoke in favor
of the project and felt the Council should give Mr. McDoug-
ald a more definite idea of their feeling for the project,
since expenses were being incurred in the hiring of the
designing firm. Attorney Coffman also recommended a public
hearing for public input, and Mr. McDougald said he would
be in favor of this. Mayor Jacobs said he would like to
see the project done in separate definite steps.
Councilman Wiseman withdrew his motion and made another,
stating that the City Council entertain an additional meet-
ing with Ken McDougald and his board, and at that time, they
discuss the' board's involvement, land annexation, zoning
control, expenditures, etc., and entertain a public hearing
at that time, also. Mr. McDougald said he would like to
have one more meeting before the public hearing, since the
full Council had not had the chance to hear the plans.
Then, -at this meeting, the Council could take further action.
Councilman Wiseman made an amendment to his motion to delete
the statement of having the public hearing. Councilman
McDougald seconded the motion. Councilman Peterson added
an amendment to the motion that the City Attorney be direc-
ted to draw up an ordinance that would lay out the disposal
of the land, and including the deed and covenants men-
tioned by Councilman Wiseman in his first motion. Coun-
cilman Wiseman accepted this amendment to his motion, and
Councilman McDougald seconded it, Mayor Jacobs called fo
a vote on the motion, and it was approved unanimously.

Engineer Keogh asked about a proposed ordinance for a Keogh questions street
change in street width in subdivisions. This was origin- width ord.
ally 60 feet, then it was changed to 50 feet. The new
change would make these streets 52 feet in width, and Mr.
Keogh wondered if this was legal. Administrator Koert
said this was a proposed zoning ordinance change, which
had gone before the Planning Commission in a public hear-
ing, and would shortly be coming to the City Council for
approval. Much discussion followed regarding right-of-
ways and easements.

with the petition.

George McDonald, the tennis court resurfacing expert, ing.
which included his bid for the resurfacing of the six ten
nis courts in town. This bid, which included $1,000 for
supervision of the resurfacing, to be done by Southern
Paving, was for $29,844. The City's share of this amount
would be $19,844, and the school district would pick up
the $10,000 balance. The work would take approximately
four weeks to complete, and Mr. McDonald would guarantee
Southern Paving's work for a year. Mr. Koert said School
Superintendent Bill Meador could not attend this meeting,
but did want to discuss a maintenance agreement with the
City. Administrator Koert said it would take about one
hour every two weeks to sweep the courts. Councilmen Wis -
man made the motion any action be tabled until Bill Meado,
could address the issue regarding maintenance, seconded b
Councilman McDougald, approved unanimously.

asking the Council if they wished to present a statement o
the Board of Adjustment against Mr. Knight's application.
No such action was taken.

Mayor Jacobs asked if the Council wanted to do anything
on it. It was the concensus of the Council that Moab
City should stay out of it; Orem City was getting enough
support from others.
Mayor Jacobs said the County was closing on Monday, Decem-
ber 24, and wondered if the Council would consider letting
the City employees off that day also. He stated they were
caught up on work, and he felt it would be a good gesture.
Councilman Peterson made the motion the City give their
employees the Monday off, seconded by Councilman McDoug-
ald. Councilman Peterson and McDougald voted for the
motion; Councilman Wiseman voted against the motion. The
motion passed. The Council felt the City should remain
open the Monday before New Year's Day.
There were some questions regarding the payment of a HUD
bill in the amount of $1,000. Since it was not known
exactly what this was for, it was suggested this be held
out until this was determined. Councilman McDougald made
the motion the bills be paid, with the exception of the
HUD bill until a determination was made on it, seconded by
Councilman Wiseman, approved unanimously.
The Mayor said he had gotten a committment from Peterson
Tractor & Implement of Salt Lake City on the small diesel
tractor which was bid on a couple of weeks before. Peter-
son Tractor did not submit a sealed bid on time, and a
decision was made at the last meeting to accept the only
bid that had been received, one from Western Implement in
Grand Junction. Western Implement had not been informed
they had been awarded the bid. The Mayor said he had a
committment from Peterson for $497 cheaper than Western
Implement, but this did not include a $150 shipping charge.
Councilman Peterson made the motion the City Council
reverse their action awarding the bid for the tractor to
Western Implement in favor of awarding it to Peterson
Tractor. The motion died for lack of a second.
Councilman McDougald made the motion the meeting be

Mr. Bill Meador, superintendent of schools, was present
for a discussion of the maintenance agreement between
the City and school district if the six tennis courts in
town are resurfaced. A tentative agreement drawn up
between the two parties included terms that the school
district would be responsible for maintenance of fences,
nets, posts, and other equipment on the six courts, the
City would maintain the lighting system for the two
courts on Center Street and pay the electric bill. This
agreement also stated a member of the City crew would be
assigned to pick up trash and sweep the courts daily,
with the understanding that not every court needs to be
swept every day.
Mayor Jacobs questioned the City's cleaning the courts
every day. He said this could run into a lot of time.
The Council asked Mr. Koert how long it would take to
clean and sweep them. Mr. Koert said if one court were
cleaned and swept every day, it would take approximately
an hour. In this way, each court would be cleaned approx
mately once a week. The Council felt that one hour each
day was not too much time spent cleaning and sweeping.

Councilman Tomsic made the motion the Council approve the main-

McDougald suggested the posaiblity of getting practice boards
set up for each of the courts. Attorney Coffman said he objected
to the wording of the maintenance agreement since it did not
include many important aspects, such as time limit. Mayor Jacobs
suggested Mr. Coffman rewrite the agreement with the important
legalities included, and the Council was in favor of this. Mayor
Jacobs called for a vote on the motion, and it was approved unani-
mously. (Agreement attached)
Mr. Meador said a contract between the three parties involved in
the resurfacing of the courts (City, school distrcit and resur-
facing expert Geroge McDonald) should be drawn up so the contract
is explicit in terms of monetary amount, payment procedure, etc.
He stated the work should be subject to approval by both the City
and school district! Councilman Wiseman made the motion Mr.
McDonald be hired to oversee the improvements of all six tennis
courts, and enter into a contract with him for a total of $19,844
as the City's share, to be supplemented with $10,000 of the school
district's share. Councilman Tomsic seconded the motion. Council-
man McDougald was concerned about the bonding of Mr. McDonald.
Councilman Wiseman said this would be considered before entering
into such a contract with Mr. McDonald. The Mayor called for a
vote on the motion, and it was approved unanimously.
Curt Pehrson, AOG planner, made a short presentation of ideas for
a growth management plan, to include a survey for priorities of
needs in the City and County. There was some negative feeling
from the Council to the survey, since several had been conducted
in past years, with no results of planning or funding. Mr. Pehrson
said the AOG would be looking for specific information in order
to put together a master plan, and thus facilitate Moab City's
decision -making process. He said they planned to obtain as much
information from past surveys and by other means in order to cut
down duplications. He said after the information was complied,
the results would go directly to local officials, and the City
and County would need to get together to decide on the order of
their priorities. Attorney Coffman suggested Mr. Pehrson get
in touch with the Economic Development Committee for a lot of
information that has been gathered through surveys in the past.
Attorney Coffman stated that Moab City was in violation of the
Clean Air Act of 1980 because the disposal plant does not meet
EPA standards: He recommended steps be taken as soon as possible
to rectify this situation.
Mr Coffman had numerous pieces of correspondence he had written
regarding claim against the City by Sheryl Norton for an accident
she had on Mill Creek Drive resulting in injuries to her. He said
the insurance companies involved, as well as Southern Paving, who
did the repaving of Mill Creek Drive, had been notified of the claim.
The City would have 60 days to respond to it. If the City did not
respond by this time, it would be considered a denial of the claim,
and court proceedings would begin.
The case of Duane Wimmer going before the Board of Adjustments for
a variance to move a house onto an empty lot was also mentioned by
Mr. Coffman. After much neotiating with Mr. Wimmer, the Board
finally wrote Mr. Coffman a letter saying Mr. Wimmer was in violation
of the law, and would need to move hie house. Mr. Coffman said his
house would have to be moved within 30 days.
Mayor Jacobs said he felt the Council should study the proposed
resolution handed out by Mr. Coffman in regard to the golf course
and sale of City property before taking any action.
There were some points of concern mentioned over water sources and
the delivery system. Councilman Wiseman stated the Water Conser-
vancy District meets on Mondays and suggested Administrator Koert be
present at one of those meetings to express the City's concern over
the delivery system and also to find out what is going on in general.
Councilman Tomsic said she would like to have the financial reports
from Ed Claus' office in order to see how the budget is going. She
.said the Council used to receive,theae on a monthly basis. Admin-
istrator Koert said he would look into getting them for the Council
again. It was decided a quarterly basis for receiving these state-
ments would+be-adequate.
Coucilman Wiseman inquired about the Croasman case. Att-
orney Coffman said the court date was set for the followi
day.
Croasman court date
gset for 1/3/80.
He also asked about the progression of the Neighborhood
Watch Program. Mayor Jacobs said he planned to attend a
LEAA meeting in Price set up by the AOG in regard.to this
program on January 9.
There was much discussion concerning the legality of tic-
keting people who park in the City Market parking lot now
that visible signs have been posted there forbidding park-
ing at night after store hours. Councilman Wiseman br-
ought this up because he wanted to make sure people could
legally be ticketed without fear of a suit against the
City if it were not legal. Attorney Coffman said this
would be trespassing, and you could not normally issue
tickets on private property. He stated that for enforce-
ment of this law, the private property owner and the City
should enter into an agreement. Councilman Wiseman inst-
ructed Mr. Koert to tell Police Chief Dalton not to issue
tickets in the City Market parking lot.
Mayor Jacobs had a letter from the Mayor of Orem urging
Moab ity to adopt a resolution against HE 303, the Revenue
and Approriations Limitation Law. A copy of the resolu-
tion passed by Orem City was included. Purpose of the
resolution is to deny the federal government this control
of city government. Councilman Wiseman made the motion
Moab City adopt the resolution as submitted by Mayor James

the City of Moab, and send it to the State representatives
Councilman Tomsic seconded the motion; it was approved
unanimously. (Resolution follows below)
Councilman Tomsic questioned a few of the bills on the
December 18 list, the main one being payment for mileage
to Lynn Christensen for her personal vehicle. Mayor Jaco
and Administrator Koert said this was for taking one of th
City employees to a hospital in Price, and they had okayed
this trip. Her mileage was also questioned on the Jan-
uary 2 list of bills. Mr Koert said he was not sure what
this was for, but thought she took her personal car to a
seminar in Price, Utah. Councilamn Tomsic asked about a
bill from Burroughs Corporation for maintenance of the Cit
computer for $1,519.38. Administrator Koert recommended
the City not pay this bill, because it was not mandatory,
and since Burroughs had not' been keeping up with the main-
tenance agreement by having a man sevice the machine.
Councilman Tomsic made the motion the bills be paid with
the exception of the Burroughs maintenance bill, seconded
by Councilman Mcbougald, approved unanimously.
Councilman Peterson made the motion for adjourment at 10:1
p.m., seconded by Councilman Wiseman, approved unanimously

CITY COUNCIL
January 15, 1980
A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was held on the
above date in the City Council Chambers, the meeting called
to order at 8p.m. by Mayor Jacbos. Present were Councilmen
Wiseman, Peterson, Tomsic, and new members Brewer and White.
Also present were Administrator Koert, Attorney Coffman,
Engineer Keogh, Chief Dalton, Inpsector Brundage, Treasurer
McLeod, Secretary Honeycutt, and 11 citizens.
The minutes of Wednesday, January 2, were corrected by Council-
man Tomsic on Page 3, second paragraph from the bottom. A
statement reading "Mr. Koert said he was not sure what this
was for, but was aware that Chief Dalton sometimes had her
run errands for which she took her own car." was changed after
"what this was for," to read "but thought she took her personal
car to a seminar in Price, Utah." Councilman Wiseman made the
motion the minutes be approved with this correction, seconded
by Councilman Peterson, approved unanimously.
A public hearing was held for input on proposed zoning ordinance
changes. Councilman Tomsic suggested in the future, the Council
call a special meeting before a public hearing is set to more
thoroughly understand what is to be discussed. Councilman
Brewer suggested a Council member attend those Planning Commission
and Board of Adjustment meetings when public hearings are scheduled,
instead.
The Council discussed and revised the proposed zoning ordinance
canges for approximately two hours. A few minor revisions
were made, and Mr. Koert said he would have the zoning changes
retyped to reflect these revisions and bring them to the next
Council meeting for final approval.

Chief Dalton briefly explained to the Council the Neigh-
borhood Watch, or "Hands Up" Program. He and the Mayor h
recently attended a seminar in Price, which had better in
formed them of the basics of the program. Chief Dalton
said the program mostly involved concerned citizens getti
together to know one another and develop an interest in
each other. The Police Department would be involved by
showing films, distributing literature, and explaining th
program at neighborhood get-togethers. Mayor Jacobs sai
first a public meeting would be set up, probably in Star
Hall to accommodate a crowd, to introduce the program to
Moab,scitizens. He said he would reserve Star Hall for th
meeting, to be held in approximately a month. Councilman
Wiseman made the motion the City go forward with the sett
up of the Neighborhood Watch Program, seconded by Council
White, approved unanimously.
Chief Dalton also announced it was almost imminent the
Police Department would be going to another radio frequen
since their transmission wipe out radio transmissions in
Price. He said the cost to transfer to another frequency
would be about $100 per unit.
Sheriff Nyland had recently informed Chief Dalton and May.
Jacobs that boarding fees for City prisoners would be goi
from $5 to $8 per day.
Attorney Coffman said the legal documents regarding the
tennis court resurfacing had been drawn up. The Council
had made the motion in a previous meeting to approve thes
but Mr. Coffman needed to make some changes and additions.
It -was the concensus of the Council these had been re-

is a 90-day period starting from the date of advertisement
in which a public hearing must be held.
Mr. Coffman reported some discrepancies in action taken re

Administrator Koert said a resolution would need to be drawn
up in regard to liquor law enforcemnt appropriations. Mr.
Coffman said this should be Resolution #3-80, and that there
should'be a resolution in the files from the past, even though
Mr. Koert said one had been searched for, but none yet located.
The Administrator also asked Attorney Coffman if he would draw
up some contracts between the City and individual professionals
which they employ, i.e. attorney, accountant, auditor, garbage
collector, etc.
Mr. Koert announced that he, together with Treasurer McLeod,
had come up with a plan for a new computer in the City offices
to speed up the accounting processes. He stated their pre-
sent Burroughs posting machine had been used for nine years,
and was obsolete. The Council had received a memo from Mr.
Koert prior to the meeting outlining the pros and cons of go-
ing computer. Mr. Koert said he would like to bring a pro-
posal for the computer to the next Council meeting so the
Council would have a cahnce to better study the situation.
He said in choosing such a computer, its being able to handle
the work load anticipated for at least the next ten years
would be an important factor. Mayor Jacobs said he would
like to see Councilmen White and Tomsic and Accountant Ed
Claus in on the planning for such a computer. The Council
agreed to consider a proposal at their next meeting.
Councilman Peterson said he had forgotten to make a request
to the City in behalf of Judy Carmichael, who had requested
$200 for prize winners in the Christmas parade. There were
four categories, and each winner would receive $50. Council-
man Wiseman made the motion the City contribute $200 for the
Christmas parade prize winners (to come out of the Community
Affairs budget), seconded by Councilman Tomsic, apporved unan-
imously. Councilman Peterson said he would contact Adminis-
trator Koert the following day with the names of the prize
winners, so cheks could be made out to them.
Councilman Tomsic said she would be starting to do periodic
checks to see that personnel policies and procedures were
being followed. It was requested this topic be put on the
agenda for the next meeting.
Councilman Tomsic announced that Sheriff Jim Nyland had been
nominated for the outstanding elected official award in the
State, and felt it would be a good gesture if the City wrote
him a letter congratulating him on this nomination.
She also asked Attorney Coffman for a clarification of a
statement in the last meeting he made in regard to issuing
tickets in City Market parking lot to people who park
there after store hours. He said the con fusion concerned
the differences between "parking illegally" and "trespassing."
He said for parking illegally, arrests could be made, and
for trespassing, a summons could be issued if the property
was reasonalby posted stating no trespassing was allowed.
Increasing the pick-up fees for dogs at the pound was sug-
gested by Councilman Wiseman. He suggested the fees be in-
creased from $5 to $15 for the first offense, $10 to $20
for a second offense, and from $20 to $30 for the third and
each consecutive offense after that. Attorney Coffman said
this would call for an amendment to the dog ordinance. Coun-
cilman Wiseman asked Mr. Koert to find out if the change would
need to be in the form of a resolution or an ordinance.
There was some discussion concerning bidding on City projects.
Councilman Wiseman made a motion stating when the City re-
quests bids on projects requiring an outlay of City funds, the
specifications on the project shall be submitted to the City
Council at the regular meeting prior to time of advertisement.
Councilman Tomsic said the motion should include plans, as
well as specifications. Councilman Wiseman agreed to this
suggestion. Councilman Tomsic seconded the motion, approved
unanimously.
Mayor appointed Council Mayor Jacobs made Council appointments to three boards: Council -

Mayor Jacobs had a copy of a sample resolution from the
Utah League of Cities and Towns to oppose HB 303, an appro
riation limitations bill. Since the Council had already
passed Resolution #11-80 im the last meeting opposing this
bill, it was the concensus that this copy should be sent
to the State, rather than the one from the League of Citi-s
and Towns. The Mayor said he would have a copy of the re
olution sent to Senator Bunnell and Representative_Garr.
Councilman Wiseman asked if from now on a departmental ex-
pendiutre total could,be included with the bills, in order
to better see how th budget is going along. He made the
motion the bills approved as presented, seconded by Counci
man Peterson, approved unanimously.

Zoning Ordinance Change
Final approval of the Zoning Ordinance revisions was made
by the Council. Councilman Wiseman questioned trucking
companies being required to have Board of Adjustment appro-
val when many other types of businesses going into a C-2
zone did not have tohavethis approval. Inspector Brundage
said the basis for this requirement is that trucking companies
are a very different type of business and require special
considerations. Attorney Coffman agreed with this reasoning
and said even though some trucking companies vary (i.e. U.P.S.
vs. a propane -hauling company), all should go before the Board
individually for this permission. Councilman Wiseman made
the motion the Zoning Ordinance revisions be approved as pre-
sented and go on record as part of these minutes, seconded
by Councilman Brewer, approved unanimously. (These changes
are not attached, but will be filed with the permanent record
of the minutes.)

CITY COUNCIL
Emergency Meeting
February 12, 1980
An emergency meeting of the Moab City Council was called
by Mayor Jacobs on the above date at 1 p.m. in the City
Council Chambers. The media were notified of the meeting
a few hours beforehand. Those present in addition to
the Mayor were Councilmen Peterson, Brewer, White, Wise-
man, and Tomsic. Also present were Administrator Koert,
Attorney Coffman, Chief Dalton, Secretary Honeycutt, and
approximately 15 citizens and City employees.
Mayor Jacobs announced the Association of Governments
would be down Thursday at 8 p.m. to talk to the Council
and citizens about the County's withdrawal from the AOG.
The Mayor also announced the City crews had recently
drained and were cleaning out the hillside water tank.
He said it would probably need to be sandblasted and paint-
ed next spring.
Mr. Red Stweart, a concerned citizen, had talked to the
Mayor about having a large cottonwood tree on City property
near the Virginian Motel topped and trimmed in order to
reduce the chance of accidents from falling branches. The
Mayor said Mr. Stewart had a company in mind which would
do the job for $300, and wondered if the City Council would
authorize this expenditure. It was the concensus of the
Council to pay for the tree trimming and topping.
At this point, Councilman Wiseman made the motion the Council
adjourn to executive session, seconded by Councilman Tomsic.
A roll call vote was taken, and the motion was approved
unanimously. The Mayor said the regular meeting would
resume directly following the executive session, which be-
gan at 1:10 p.m.
The regular meeting resumed at 2 p.m., where decisions made
in the executive session were announced.
Mayor Jacobs announced a meeting would be forthcoming for
the Utilities and Administrative Departments to discuss
personnel grievances.
Following receipt of a letter of resignation from City
Administrator Greg Koert, the Council took action in the
executive session. A motion made in this executive sess-
ion was read aloud by Mayor Jacobs and staes:
By motion duly made, seconded, and unanimously resolved:
The City Council acknowledges the tender of resignation,
dated February 12, 1980, of the City Administrator, Resignation contsd'.
to be effective April 1, 1980; however,

The City Council elects not to extend the employment
of the City Administrator beyond his probationary
period, which ends February 20, 1980; accordingly,
the City Administrator is relieved immediately of hi
duties as City Administrator and Recorder, with his
compensation to -include termination pay „from Februar
21 through February 29, 1980.
Councilmen Brewer and White attended a workshop Friday,
February 8, for the purpose of hearing grievances from
members of the Police Department. Councilman White read
aloud a memo from the City Attorney, acting for the Moab
City Council, to the Police Chief and officers of the
Police Department. Six problem areas were discussed in
the memo, these six being 1) Favoritism in the treatment
of persons charged, 2) Council interference with the
Police Department, 3) Inadequate pay, 4) Injustices in
the relative pay positions within the Police Department,
5) Mechanical condition of police vehicles, and 6) Com-
plaints regarding hiring procedures.
Mr. Larry Hill, of KURA Radio, asked when the Police De-
partment could expect to receive the pay adjustments for
injustices in relative pay positions outlined in Item 4
of Mr. Coffman's memo. Police Chief Dalton was,direeted
to make investigations of these injustices and then reco-
mmendations to the Council.
Sergeant Alan West asked the Council for an idea as to
length of time before something would be done about the
inadequate and limited office apace of the Police Depart-
ment. Councilman Wiseman explained there was no way the
could give Mr. West a definite time estimate for action i
the matter, but said they were aware of the problem.
Mrs. Marilyn Cooper suggested to the Council if coming up
with money for the Police Department for raises and adjust
meats was a problem, the Council should cut back on dona-
tions for fireworks, equipment for the Recreation Board,
ect. She said she felt the citizens would rather be ass-
ured of a secure Police Department and know they were mak-
ing a living wage, and give up some of the donations to
groups and clubs. Mayor Jacbos said this would be one of
the things that would have to be done to have enough money
for increased Police salaries.
City employee Mike Adams said it should be not only the
Police Department considered for wage increase, but the
other departments as well. He was advised there would be
no discrimination, and all City employees would receive
salary increase, if possbble.
City employee Jim Griffin inquired about the setting up of
the workshop for the Utilities Department. He was told a
workshop would be held at the convenience of the employees
and Councilmen Brewer and White as soon as possible, but
since both Councilmen had other jobs, this was sometimes
difficult.
As no other personnel matters were brought up, Mr. Les Erb
recommended the City plan to sealcoat the streets, since
he had talked to someone aware of this problem, who said
the streets would fall apart in 1 matter of time if neg-
lected. The Mayor said he was aware of this and was try-
ing to get something worked out. Mr. Bob Westwood of the
County Road Department was also expected to appear at the
next regular meeting to discuss this.
Councilman Tomsic moved for adjournment at 2:40 p.m., sec-
onded by Councilman Wiseman, approved unanimously.

Mr. Rex Rasmussen, a County resident living on River Sands
Road, requested he be hooked up to City water. He said he
had looked into drilling a well, but was told the water was
brackish and would not be up to standards for culinary pur-
poses. He said he would be willing to annex into the City,
however, his property is not contiguous to the City Limits.
Mr. Rasmussen said he had talked to Dave Bretzke of the
Water Conservancy District, who said the District was not
planning to supply water to his area at any time. The
Council said they would not lift the moratorium they had
placed on City water hook-ups to County residents. Mr.
Doffman suggested Mr. Rasmussen look into the possibility
of annexing into the City.
Mr. Rand Taylor, president and general manager of KURA
Radio, read a statement to the Council concerning the City's
compliance with state laws regarding open and closed meet-
ings. He urged the Council to comply with the "Sunshine
Law", and stated the Utah Broadcasters Association might
be forced to take action. He stated several closed meetings
had been conducted recently, and the press had had trouble
getting information regarding these meetings. However,
he expressed a desire to work with the City in getting
complete and concise information for the benefit of everyone.
Councilman Peterson stated that in his seven years as a
Council member, it was never the intention of the Council to
hide their activities, but rather, the meeting had been con-
ducted as a matter of expediency. Councilman White agreed
with Councilman Peterson, and Councilman Brewer expressed a
desire to work with the media and follow the rules and reg-
ulations.
Councilman Wiseman asked what action could be taken if a
public official were misquoted. Mr. -Taylor said the official
would be protected under State laws and could sue.
Mr. Ed Claus, the City accountant, presented a six-month
review of the 1979-1980 budget for July through December.
He first clarified some amounts under question that had been
printed in the paper as a quote from former City Administra-
tor Greg Koert. The review was fairly lengthly, as Mr. Claus
reviewed many sections of the budget. Much of the discussion
concerned payroll and fringe benefit amounts and the feasibility
of salary adjustments,. 'It was the conclusion fo Mr. Claus
that the City was operating at a reasonable spending rate,
and less than the first six months of last fiscal year. The
possibility of having quarterly budget meetings was also discussed.
Mrs. Mary Mahoney of Mahoney Cehvolet-Pontiac presented t
the Council a "Police Package" booklet in light of the re
cent problems the Police Department was having with their
vehicles. She said the package includes options for the
police cars, such as heavy-duty batteries and ties. She
said she had been upset by the recent article in the pape
about the problems the cars were having, and wanted to ma
the Council aware of this package especially for police
cars, since they have heavier wear and tear than the sten
and car:
Councilman Peterson made a motion in view of discussion o
the six-month budget review, and in view of the recent
circumstances with City employees, to grant the employees
a 10 percent raise, effective March 1, in addition to the
benefits that would automatically go with such a raise.
Councilman Tomsic agreed with a raise in pay for the em-
ployees, but said she thought it should be an equal dolla
amount for all employees out of fairness, and alos to keep
thepay sacle chart in line. There was some discussion o
this as opposed to the percentage increase. Councilman
Peterson withdrew his motion and made another motion.
This motion was that he be appointed a liason between the
City Council and the Police Department. Councilman White
seconded the motion, but it was noted that it should be
the Mayor that makes appointments. This motion was also
withdrawn, and the Mayor made the appointment of Council-
man Peterson as liason between Council and Police Depart-
ment.
Councilman Tomsic made the motion that according to Per-
sonnel Policies and Procedures and the July 3, 1979 minute
all improper raises given during that period be properly
adjusted to the correct salary according to Section 13 of
the Policy Manual, effective March 1, 1980. The motion
was seconded by Councilman Wiseman, approved unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic made another motion that Sergeant Alan
West be raised from Grade 17, Step 1 to Grade 17, Step 2,
instead of Grade 17, Step 3, as requested by Police Chief
Dalton. The motion was seconded by Councilman Peterson,
approved unanimously.
Another motion was made by Councilman Tomsic that Police
Officer Fred Gay be raised from Grade 14, Step 3 to Grade
14, tep 5, seconded by Councilman Brewer, approved unani-
mously.
And finally, Councilman Tomsic made the motion that, effec
tive March 1, the granting of a $100 increase in each sal-
ary step on the classification chart for all regular, full
time employees, seconded by Councilman Wiseman. Council-
man Wiseman asked exactly what this increase would be con-
sidered. Councilman Tomsic replied it was an adjustment,
and not a raise. The Mayor called for a vote on the moti
and it was approved unanimously.
The Mayor said a meeting on the Neighborhood Watch Program Neighborhood Watch Proms

any Council members to attend. He said the cost of fundin
for the program was going to be $280. The Council felt
this was a worthwhile cause, but thought it would be bette
to attend the meeting in Price before paying the $280.
Police Chief Dalton said he appreciated the efforts of the
Council in the action they took for the salary increase to
ehlp resolve the grievnaces of the employees.
Engineer Keogh suggested the City be the agent in purchas-
ing fire hydrants in the City, especially with regard to a
certain brand so they would all be the same. The Mayor
said the City could even keep a few of a particular brand
in stock and make them available at cost to subdividers.

There was some question,as to the type of business license
to be given to a Kirby Vacuum repairman traveling to the
area from another town. The Council said he could avoid
paying $500 for a transient merchant license by operating
his business through -a local merchant, such as Gambles.
Mr. Coffman reported the law suit against Mr. Duane Wimmer
to move his house on Fourth North had been filed that day.
He will be given a reasonable time to comply before the
City can take action, and he would be subject to imprison-
ment for failure to comply.
Councilman White gave an informal report to the Council on
the meeting held with the Utilities Department. It was
recommended a supervisor be appointed to that department.
There was some discussion on the Personnel Policies and
Procedures Manual, the availability of copies, and the
updating of ,the Manual. It was pointed out that several
of these -Manuals were missing and some had not been updated.
Councilman Tomsic made the motion some more hard loose-leaf
notebooks be acquired, and funding for correcting this be
made available so that a Manual could be put in each depart-
ment, seconded by Councilman White, approved unanimously.
.It was mentioned a meeting for the Administration Depart-
ment would be set up, probably this week.
Councilman Wiseman said the committee appointed to look
into purchasing a computer for the City offices had decided
not to engage the use of one at the present time, but would
leave it open for consideration in six months. He said
he hoped there would be from $10,000 to $16,000 reserved
in the FY 1980-1981 budget for this purpose.
Councilman Wiseman reported that Building Inspector Larry
Brundage had informed the City on concrete problem pro-
ceedings. He said it was in the courts in litigation at
present, and that things should be solved in approximately
three weeks.
Councilman Wiseman also stated that nothing had been done
to the Russell residence in building the retaining wall
there to prevent erosion to the Russell property from
drainage.
The case of a City shop employee not having a drivers
license was mentioned by Councilman Wiseman. Mayor Jacobs
said he was aware of this, and that this employee should be
getting the license back in April.
Council Wiseman asked Councilman Tomsic if she planned to
continue her monthly reports on Personnel Policies and Pro-
cedures. She said yes. Councilman Brewer stated he and
Councilman White would be helping in this area.
Councilman Wiseman announced the State Land Board was look-
ing for citizen support in lieu of land acquisiton for
proposed potash development. He encouraged the Council to
attend a meeting on the subject the following day.
Councilman Peterson asked the intentions of the City Council
in regard to hiring a new City Administrator. He suggested
advertising for the position. This was agreed upon, as
well as looking at the old applications on file. It was
suggested the salary also be raised in order to attract
well -qualified peoPle who would want to stay with the job.
Councilman Wiseman suggested $24,000 as a top figure.
Attorney Coffman suggested having the position of City
-Administrator and Reocrder separate. Councilman Peterson
disagreed with this.
The motion was made to
stark advertising for
new Administrator.
Councilman Tomsic made the motion the City advertise for
the position of City Administrator/Recorder, and advertise
the starting salary as $24,000, with the applications to
be reviewed in a month, seconded by Councilman Peterson,
approved unanimously.
Advertise for nel kd-
ministrator, cont'd.
The City might lose a $50,000 amount set aside for them i
they do not decide on a use for the money in regard to
garbage disposal. Councilman Tomsic said this was the
opinion expressed to her by Mr. Pete Parry of the Park
Service. She suggested this amount be used in developin
the landfill. Councilman Tomsic made the motion the
Council appoint Councilman Wiseman to get ahold of the
State Department regarding this, then proceed with the
action, so the disbursements could be made, seconded by
Councilman White, approved unanimously.
Mayor Jacobs had received a letter and the signed contrac
for the resurfacing of the tennis courts from Mr. Geroge
McDonald. Mr. McDonald had made a few changes in regard
to removal of net and fence posts. He also requested
the City pay the cost of the bond insurance, an amount of
$360. Councilman Tomsic made the motion the City pay
half the amount of the bond insurance, with the school
district to pay the other half, this amount to come out
of revenue sharing, seconded by Councilman Wiseman, app-
roved unanimously. The Mayor suggested $1,000 be put in
to an escrow fund for the purchase of nets, posts, lights
etc.

and inspected, and it had water blisters. He recommeded
the City think about getting a contract for the sandblast
ting and painting of the tank.
An amount of $7,411.25 was requested by the Mayor to be
added to the Revenue Sharing fund amount of the bills for
payment for a new tractor for the City parks, which was
to be delivered the following week. Treasurer McLeod
mentioned since the tractor and been bidgeted for under
the general fund, there would have to be a public hearing

following week, and he would like for them to test
this well and make recommendations, including a reco-
mmendation on pump size. He said this would cost approx-
imately $700 to $1,100. The Council gave their per-
mission for this testing.
Bids for sandblasting & Mayor Jacobs said he would like to start taking tenta-
painting 112 water tank. tive bids this spring and summer for the sandblasting
and repainting of the #2 water tank for next spring.
Positive bids from contracters would then follow next
spring. He stated it would cost a minimum of $20,0J0,
and this would have to be put in the upcoming budget.

Durango Monument re:

He also informed the Council the typewriter in the
Building Inspection Department was giving them pro-
blems, especially at this time when they were trying
to get the new Zoning Ordinance typed. This is an old
model, and he recommended the purchase of a newer one.
Councilman Brewer made the motion the City accept bids
for this purchase, seconded by Councilman White,
approved unanimously.
A letter from Durango Monument Works had been recently
received requesting a business license to allow them
to service Moab. The Mayor wondered what he should do
in this instance. Councilman Wiseman suggested the
same action be taken as with the Kirby vacum repair-
man; that is, charge him $500 for a transient merchant
license unless they can operate through a local business.
He also said a letter should be written to them in-
forming them of this and enclosing a copy of the trans-
ient merchant ordinance. Attorney Coffman suggested
a possible revision of this ordinance with the collec-
tion of quarterly sales tax as opposed to a set $500
fee. He asked that copies of the model ordinanaces
for transient merchants be distributed to the Council,
with this revision consideration to be placed on the
agenda for the next meeting.
Mayor Jacobs said the City needed to start accepting
bids for the building of the retaining wall at the
Russell residence.
Democratic Women invite The Mayor said there would be a meeting for the public
to the Neighborhood Wat h on the Neighborhood Watch Program, hopefully before
Meeting. the end of the month. He invited representatives of
the Department of the Democratic Women to come to the
planning meeting the following day.
He said the Fire Department had requested permission fro
the Council to place a warning device, or flashing fire
signal, at the intersection of First South and First Eas
This was requested to warn traffic, since the fire truck
go that way on approximately 75 percent of their calls.
The device, which would stop traffic for three minutes
when there is a fire call, would be installed by the Fir
Department. It was the concensus of the Council to allo
the installation of the fire signal.
Utilities Coordinator Don Robinson presented to the Coun
a water study. Since the report was lengthy, he request
the Council take it home and read it. He said the in-
formation could be used for future planning, etc.
Mrs. Pilling said the water at the Southeast Elementary
School had so much chlorine in it that sometimes they
could not even drink it. Don Robinson pointed out that,
actually, the chlorine might be low; this would also caus
the water to taste badly. Mrs. Pilling said the next
time the water tasted badly, she would call the City to
have them come down and check it.
Les Erbs suggested the Council make their objective for
1980 a project to get all the houses numbered, since
emergency vehicles and utility companies were frequently
having problems locating houses. The Mayor said he was
very much aware of this problem; the City was constantly
working on it, and be welcomed any suggestions to improve
the situtation.
There was a question regarding a bill from Big Joe Uni-
form Company on the amount and departmental charges for
some uniforms. Councilman White made the motion the
bills be approved with the exception of the Big Joe bill
for $195.80, this payment pending a check on amounts and

Revenue Sharing / Budge A public hearing was held for making changes in the Revenue
Sharing budget. Some items for purchase had been budgeted
for out of the General= Fund, but were legitimate to be paid
for out of Revenue Sharing, so Council action consisted of
moving budget line items. Councilman Tomsic made the
motion $10,000 be transferred fromthe General Fund to
Revenue Sharing for the parks tractor and well, since they
were valid revenue Sharing expenses, seconded by Councilman
Wiseman, approved unanimously. A diaphragm pump, which
was budgeted for at $400, actually cost $600. Councilman

Peterson, approved unanimously. Councilman Tomsic then
made the motion $7,000 be transferred from the sewer fund
in Revenue Sharing for the 201 Study to the park fund in

unanimously. Mrs. Jerri Pilling asked when a $40,000
amount for some new tennis courts was changed to $21,000
for resurfacing. Councilman Tomsic said this had been in
a public heairng, with the thought that six resurfaced
and playable courts were better than two new ones and six
bad ones. Councilman Tomsic made a motion the City
pay for the park tractor ($7,610.15), a septic tank ($1,000),
tennis court sweeper ($3,000), and irrigating of the park
($15,000), out of the park portion of the Revenue Sharing

discussed turning the

Mi Vida Enterprises was next on the agenda requesting
permission from the Council for a private club license.
Councilman Wiseman made the motion this be tabled until
a proper check by the Police Department had been com-
pleted and recommendations made, seconded by Councilman
Tomisc, approved unanimously.
Mr. Frank Hobbs represented Julie Pilling in a request
for the City to reimburse part of the cost of a sewer
hook-up for her. Mr. Hobbs said he had built a house
for Julie near Lucas Court. He had gotten a building
permit okayed by Larry Brundage and built the house,
then Bud Stocks told him there was no sewer line in front
of the property, and they would have to go down to Lucas
Court to hook up. Because of the distance involved
in running the line, a septic tank had been discussed,
but:this was not allowed, since Julie would have to be
at least 200 feet from the sewer connection, and she was
not. Mr. Hobbs paid the sewer connection fee, and Julie
paid the cost of all the lines, a total of $831.99, not
including the $300 connection'fee. Mr. Hobbs said he
divided this amount according to footage, since the line
crossed a 100-foot easement. The amounts came out $504.00
for the 100-foot easement, and $327.99 for the remaining
65 feet. Mr. Hobbs requested the City reimburse Julie.
Councilman Wiseman -made the motion that Julie Pilling be
relieved of pecuniary liability for her sewer from her
property line to the City sewer hook-up in accordance
with Moab City Code, Section 26-41. The motion was
seconded by Councilman White, and an amendment was
suggested by Councilamn Peterson to add the $504 amount
to the motion. Councilman Wiseman amended his motion
stating Julie Pilling would be reimbursed for $504,
seconded by Councilman White. The motion passed, with
Couniclman Tomsic abstaining because Ed's Plumbing vas
financially involved, but stating she was not opposed
to the motion.
Mayor Jacobs said he would make sure Larry Brundage vas
aware of sewer locations and possible problems before
issuing building permits.
Utilities Coordinator Don Robinson spoke briefly about
his recently -completed Water Sutdy for Moab. He also
answered the Council's questions regarding the water
supply, sources, etc. Be stated that the City should
now be able to tell, on any given day, for any source,
just how much water they have. Mr. Robinson's points
of concern were on water delivery and acquisition, but
the greatest amount of time he had put into the Study was
on water accountability. He said 65 percent of the
water show up on billing, and a great percentage of
the other 35 percent was used for treatment a the dis-
posal plant. He also said source meters could be off
as much as 121 percent, but he was not sure. Council-
man Brewer made the motion a letter of commendation
be written to Don Robinson for this report and a copy
placed in his permanent file, seconded by Councilman
Tomsic, approved unanimously In closing, Mr. Robinson
stated that Moab City had gone a whole year without
one bad water sample.
Councilman Wiseman had been assigned to the task of working
to appropriate funds to sanitary landfill equipment and
improvements in order for the release of $50,000 from
the Park Service to the City for this purpose. He had
a draft of a letter he bad written to Dr. D. D. Parker
of the state Health Division, and wanted the Council's
approval before sending it. In the letter Councilman
Wiseman bad listed several possible expenditures up to,
and slightly over $50,000. After approval by Dr. Parker,
it would then go to the Park Service for a releasing of
the funds. Councilman White made the motion the City
Council approve Councilman Wiseman's letter to Dr. Parker,
seconded by Councilman Tomsic, approved unanimously
Councilman Wiseman had recently talked to the County
Commissioners about the possibility of turning the main-
tenance of the dump over to them. Be said the County
had been in agreement of this. Councilman Wiseman said,
based on a six-month average, it was costing the City
Councilman Wiseman made the motion the City of Moab re-
linquish to Grand County the operational and administra-
tive control of the City dump, effective May 1, 1980, and
trasnfer this control to the Grand County Commission.
Further, that the City continue to pay one-half the cost
of operation of the cump, not to exceed $2,000 per month,
until such a time as the County Commissioners request an
adjustment. The motion vas seconded by Councilman Tomsi
Mayor Jacobs pointed out that this would be double taxati.
Councilman Wiseman made an amendment to the motion that
the City go along with the $2,000 per month until such
time that either: the City or County requests a readjust-
ment. Councilman Tomsic seconded this. It was pointed
out the County already pays half of the $2,000 total, so
Councilman Wiseman made another amendment to the motion
that the City payment not exceed $1,000. Councilman
tomsic seconded this amendment. Councilman Peterson sai.
a deadline should be set for the County to assume total
control of the dump. He also said the County would prob
ably also charge Mr. Hawks for dumping, where the City di.
not. This charge would eventually be passed on to the
citizens. Councilman Wiseman made an amendment to the
motion that this turning over of the dump would, in no wa
affect the legality of the contract with the hauling con-
tractor, seconded by Couniclman Tamale. Councilman
Peterson made an amendment to the motion that the County
assume full financial responsibility of the dump by Jan-
uary 1, 1980, seconded by Councilman Tomsic, approved un-
animously. The Mayor called for a vote on the full motio
as amended, approved unanimously.
Councilman Brewer asked about the progress in the Wimmer
case. Mrs. Coffman said it was being held up, as they
were looking for another attorney, since Bill Benge vas
going to be a defense witness.
Councilman Peterson asked when a decision would be made o
a new Administrator. He was told the cut-off date for
receiving applications would be March 28, and it would be
shortly after that.
Councilman Peterson also asked about getting the drainage
problem fixed at Fred Stoye's It'll Storage. Councilman
Breuer reported that Mr. Stoye bad not been working on it
due to the cold winter. Councilman Peterson made a motio
that Mr. Stoye be written a letter by the atttorney inatru
ing him to correct the drainage problem at his A-1 Storage
property within 15 days, seconded by Councilman Wiseman,
approved unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic pointed out that many contractors were
doing City jobs without having a valid City license. Cou
cilman Wiseman said 20 contractors had done this in the
last fiscal year. Treasurer McLeod said the accounting
offices were in the process of drawing up a list of con-
tractors who had not paid for a license to give to Larry
Brundage. She said this would have been done sooner, but
she bad only recently found out this vas supposed to be
done. Permission was given for a letter to be drafted
to deliquent contractors to collect for a license and also
adding a 10 percent assessment charge.
Secretary Honeycutt was instructed to make copies of the
Recreation budget for the Council and put in their boxes.
Councilman Tomsic made a motion that Steve Brownell be
placed on Grade 18-2 and Hike Ashcraft be placed on Grade
10-3, by recommendation of Mayor Jacobs, and that the lett
of recommendation for them be Wade d part of these minutes
seconded by Councilman "Breuer, approved unanimously.
Councilman Wiseman said that although he voted yes on the
above motion and felt that Steve Brownell deserved this
raise, he was making a token protest against the depart-
mental employee management practices. Letters as follows:

********************
Letter requesting a
raise for Steve Brownel
Motion made and passed
to hire three new polic
officers.
I have a list of salary discrepancies I assume I am to
bring up to employees and adjust. Because of recent in-
stances and indicated statements, I respectfully request
a member of the Council to be present, so that any state-
ments made by either party might be verified.
Of particular concern is Mike Ashcraft, who was raised
one step in August after he pointed out others had been
raised who had not worked for the City as long as he had.
Mike has applied himself sincerely to the reading and
updating of water meters and their repair, and has ac-
quired quite a knack for replacing faulty meters. He
has applied himself emphatcially to repairing metal
work and painting utility vehicles, as well. I inquired
of one of the developers of the Personnel Polices the
possibilities in this instance and was told the super-
visor could generate a one-step raise.
Frankly, I neglected to read the Policy and did not
remember the recommendation had to go before, and be pass-
ed by, the Council. I felt Mike was worth, and entitled
to, the Grade 10-3 rating in August when it was given. I
defintely feel to tell him it is being recinded after
four months would not be fair.
I respectfully request Mike Ashcraft be left at Grade
10-3 with the appropriate salary.
dh
March 17, 1980
Mayor Jacobs and City Councilmen:
This letter supercedes my letter submitted to your March
.4, 1980, since there was no council action taken regarding
my recommendation that Steve Brownell's salary remain at
$1,148.00 (Grade 18, Step 2), rather than decreasing his
present salary to $1,113.00 (Grade 18, Step 1).
Even though this raise was considered illegal according
to the City Personnel Manual, Steve's performance as
Assistant Police Chief did merit such an increase and,
had I had any prior knowledge of the increase, I would have
highly recommended the same and taken the proper steps
required for wage and step increases.
As you are very well aware, Steve is an outstanding
police officer, highly respected by his fellow officers
and the townspeople. He handles the responsibility
of his position with utmost competency and thoroughness.
He is in charge of all investigations locally and also
helps surrounding law enforcement agencies. He is strict-
ly in charge of all crime evidence which he handles pro-
ficiently and is very conscientious of the responsibility
this duty entails.
Steve is a real asset to this Police Department, his ef-
ficiency and temperment have upgraded the department and
the department's reputation, and his performance is al-
ways above and beyond the call of duty.
Again, I recommend that Officers Brownell's Grade be left
at 18, Step 2.
Sincerely,
/s/ Melvin S. Dalton
Chief Of Police
Councilman Tomsic made a motion that three new police
officers be hired on the recommendation of Police Chief
Dalton. They are Ramon Memmott at Grade 14-2, Brian
Ballard at Grade 14-1, and Robert W..Setzer at Grade 14-1
seconded by Councilman Peterson, approved unanimously.
Councilman Wiseman pointed out thi€'!al'ice Chief Dalton
was not being specific in his letters in regard to in-
vestigations performed on prospective employees. Coun-
cilman Peterson said he would see that he got the mess-
age.
Councilman White suggested when hiring an Administrator,
the possibility of using the Job Service for doing pre-
liminary investigations might be looked into.
Councilman White also said that the Utah League of Cities
and Towns seminar for the newly -elected officers had
brought out a point of forming a committee to meet with
the AOG to help funding: He said this should be looked
into as well.
Councilman Wiseman wondered why a bill to Big Joe Uniform
Company had been paid when it was pending checks on depart
mental charges and amounts. Mayor Jacobs said he had
checked it with the Deputy Recorder the following day, and
had been satisfied it was correct, so she had gone ahead
and paid the bill.
Councilman Wiseman requested Mayor Jacobs give consider-
ation to putting in a holding area at the dump for hours
which it is not open. He said people back up and dump tra
in the road if they cannot get into the dump. If there
was specific after-hours area, it could be easily cleaned
up the following day.
The Mayor said he would also talk to Randy Spencer in re-
gard to a request from Councilman Wiseman to have the
Chamber of Commerce sponsor a clean-up campaign again this
year, and initiate a letter for such. Councilman Wise-
man said he would -write the letter. Mayor Jacobs em-
phasized community and citizens participation, not just
that from City crews.
Two seminars were mentioned by Mayor Jacobs, requesting
permission from the Councilman to have Treasurer Barbara
McLeod go to a Utah Municipal Treasurers seminar in St.
George, and Inpsector Larry Brundage to go to a Roofing
symposium in $alt Lake City. Sanction was given for
Barbara and Larry to attend, provided the County would pay
half of Larry's expenses.
Councilman Brewer said a director for the swimming pool
needed to be chosen right away. It was suggested the
postion be advertised for, but Councilman Brewer felt be-
cause of a shortage of time, and the fact that Mary Mar-
tin had managed the pool successfully for two years, she
should be reinstated. Councilman Brewer made a motion
that Mary Martin be reinstated as pool manager for the
1980 season, with her salary to remain at $900 per month,
and $5 per hour for instruction, seconded by Councilman
White. The motion passed, with those in favor: Council
man Brewer, White, and Peterson; those opposed: Council-
man Tomsic and Wiseman. Councilman Brewer said a reply
would need to be written to her letter of application
right away.
Mr. George Phillips, new manager of two Go-fer Stores, had
applied for beer licenses for them. The stores had been
selling beer in the past, and no problems were reported.
Councilman Wiseman made the motion these licenses be
approved, seconded by Councilman Brewer, approved unani-
mously.
Councilman White made a motion the bills be approved as
presented for payment, seconded by Councilman Peterson,
approved unanimously.

unanimously.
Mr. Bob Hawks of Bob's Sanitation was present regarding the
garbage pick-up contract, which expires in June and will be
offered for bids prior to renewal. Mr Hawks gave a lengthy
presentation as to his opinions of what the bid specifications
should include and to his past pick-up procedures, experiences,
etc., as the present garbage pick-up contractor. Mr. -Hawks
advised the Council that when the contract is offered for bid,
the contract should be for at least five years due to inflation
allowing the contractor clause. Bidder should be allowed to
specify type of pick-up service and, at the same time, satisfy
the customers with the best service possible and least cost
possible. Mr. Hawks further stated how essential it is for
the bidder that there be an accurate count of customers, re-
quire a bid bond and a performance bond, all for the protection
of the contractor as well as the City. He also felt the 10
percent billing charge is too high. There was discussion as
to the pros and cons of different types of pick-up service
followed by prasie from several in attendance for Mr. Hawks and
a job well done. Councilman Wiseman asked the Mayor to schedule
a time for the Council to meet and draw up bid specifications.
On a motion by Councilman Wiseman and second by Councilman
Tomsic, the Council passed unanimously to give the City's con-

should be completed:by April 15, 1980, at which time they hope
to give an outline of growth -related problems. Mr. Pehrson
suggested that once the Master Plan is presented, the City and
County will combine and prioritize needs relative to growth, to
be included in a Four -County Plan (Grand, San Juan, Emery, and
Carbon). Mr. Pehrson also suggested the Council and Grand
County Commissioners consider a Council of Governments for
combined representation of priority projects. Mr. Pehrson
anticipated that the outcome of the survey would show "water -
in general" as the major growth problem.
Mr. Pehrson also advised the Council that Continental Telephone
Company, in conjunction with the State Office of Consumer Ser-
vices, had contacted them requesting they conduct a public
meeting in Monticello on April 29, 1980 regarding the quality
of service rendered by Continental Telephone. He understands
that Jerri Pilling has been elected to conduct the same type
of meeting in Moab on April 30, 1980 and wondered if she had
contacted them regarding the extension of telephone service
to the town of La Sal and the cost of some which was in the
neighborhood of $90,000.
Citizen Rocky Newell criticized the P. A. System in the Council
Chambers.
Transient merchant or-
dinance postponed.
The transient merchant ordinance revision possibilities were
postponed until the entire Council could be present.

City Engineer Keogh reminded the Council of their consid-
eration nearly a year ago to build a retaining wall on th
north end of Hobbs Subdivision. Engineer Keogh talked
to a cement contractor and was told it would cost $16 per
foot, or around $2,000, that is, if the City does the pre
paratory dirt work. There is also 125 or 130 feet of
sidewalk work to be done yet on Mill Creek Drive, which
the contractor doesn't want to complete until the propert
owner completes his wall, as his sidewalk would fail othe
wise. Engineer Keogh was told to contact the problem pr
perty owner for his cooperation so the job could be fin-
ished. Also, bids should be taken right away for the
Hobbs Subdivision retaining wall.
Engineer Keogh said he and Attorney Coffman met with a re
resentative of the Flood Insurance and could forsee head-
aches would fall on the Building Inspector, of which Mr.
Coffman would enlighten the Council when he was called
upon.
Engineer Keogh asked the Council if the City was interest
in selling the transit they owned as he had been approach
by an interested buyer. The offer was declined.
Councilman Wiseman asked that the agenda be followed, as
Delbert Oliver and Mike Adams had been skipped. Mr. Oli
was not present, and Mr. Adams was recognized by the Coun
even though his grievance had not been filed properly acc
ing to Personnel Policies & Procedures. Councilman Wise
man advised Mr. Adams that the Council had received the
grievance, and it would be taken care of in the proper
manner. The Council must answer grievance 15 days after
receipt of same. Attorney Coffman advised the Council
must act by April 5, 1980 since the grievance was filed
March 20, 1980. Councilman Wiseman said a hearing would
be scheduled 15 working days after receipt of the grievan
and render their written decision 5 working days thereaft
to the employee and a copy to the City Administrator.
City Attorney Coffman stated he, Building Inspector Brund
age and Engineer Keogh met with the representative of the
Office of Emergency Management in Denver to review the Or
dinance drawn up for government flood insurance require-
ments. Building Inspector Brundage advised at this meet
ing of two probable amendments needed in the Code because
of flood plan requirements, to -wit:
1. A11 mobile homes in flood zones be anchored with ove
the -roof anchors and there is no way to police this requi
ment under present Code, as it exempts mobile homes from
getting building -permits. This needs to be deleted, and
an ordinance established requiring mobile homes moving in
to City limits, whether in mobile home park or on perman-
ent foundation, to comply with Electrical Code, Plumbing
Code, and Building Code as to foundation or a blocking
schedule and tie -down requirements of flood control or-
dinance. This will need an effective date of June 1, th
same as effective date of flood control ordinance, and wi 1
require a public hearing following advertisement of same.
2. Big burden of flood control ordinance will fall on t eFlood Insurance coned.
Building Inspector, as he can't enforce it or accept
certifications in the flood zones if the main floor is no.
at or above 100-year flood plan level, so he needs a topo
graphical survey check to establish whether building is
being built high enough. The Building Inspector suggest
the building fee schedule be amended to add surcharge for
any building permit issued in the flood zone where certi-
fication is required prior to permit being granted, and uppn
certification of occupancy that building was built at min-
imum elevation of the zone, which would• -require two checks
by the surveyor and figures of surcharge would have to be
determined, as City would bear engineer's increase costs.,
Any new construction violations of ordinance after effect-
ive date would result in denial of government lending in-
stitutions. The Flood Control Ordinance is scheduled for
public hearing at next Council meeting on April 15, 1980.

Councilman Tomsic moved that the position of Utilities Co-
ordinator be reclassified to Grade 12, Step 1, (currently
Grade 10), seconded by Councilman Wiseman, passed unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic informed the Council that wage -related re-
ports are based on calendar year and vacation and sick leave
should be figured accordingly for simplicity in recordkeeping.
New employees would accrue annual and sick leave up to the
beginning of calendar year. Councilman Tomsic also request-
ed forms be changed to commence at the beginning of the
calednar year. Councilman Tomsic so moved for these changes,
seconded by Councilman Wiseman, passed unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic inquired as to status of the Wimmer case.
Attorney Coffman advised he had not answered counterclaim
and requested an executive session prior to next Council
meeting to discuss this matter, a second legal matter, and
personnel matters. Councilman Wiseman moved to have closed
meetings one hour prior to next Council meeting (April 15,
1980) to discuss legal and personnel affairs, seconded by
Councilman White, passed unanimously by roll call vote.
d-Councilman Wiseman reminded Attorney Coffman of the letter
he is to write to Mr. Stoye regarding the drainage problem
and surfacing of parking area at hie A-1 Storage buildings.
Councilman Wiseman drew Council's attention to a letter add-
ressed to Mr. Pete Parry with attachment of acknowledgement
from State that they received our request for additions at
the sanitary landfill, and hopefully, $50,000 should be forth-
coming shortly. Also, Councilman Wiseman advised Grand County
should take over sanitary landfill on June 1, 1980, rather
than May 1, 1980, as he has requested 90 days in his original
motion to the County Commission.
Mayor Jacobs advised Council he took tree trimmers to land-
mark tree at First South and Third East for their expert
opinion, as he is afraid the tree is a hazard and something
should be done. He asked Council to investigate the situ-
ation and make recommendation. Attorney Coffman said an-
other possibility would be to close the street if the public
shows displeasure at the tree being trimmed or removed.
Council agreed the problem of Mrs. Virginia Johnson regarding
lack of identification of different trailer courts was a pri-
vate problem and there was nothing the City could do for her.
Mr. Ken Curtis of the Job Service had submitted a letter to
the Council recommending eight applicants for the position
of City Administrator based on prior municipal administrative
experience. The Council agreed to submit their choices by
April 3, 1980 at 5 P.M., thereafter to meet, narrow down
the applicants, make past employment inquiries, and schedule
for interviews.
The bills were approved to include D. & R. Tree Service in
the amount of $300, Julie Pilling - $504, and Nielson, Max-
well & Wangsgard - $900, to which the Mayor would attach a
letter of protect to this charge, motion made by Councilman
White, seconded by Councilman Wiseman, passed unanimously.
(Mayor Jacobs advised Council that he sent Utilities Coordin-
ator Don Robinson to a Safe Drinking Water Conference in
Provo.
Councilman Tomsic moved to accept a bid of $749 on a Silver
Reed typewriter from Office Equipment Company for the Build-
ing Inspection Department, seconded by Councilman White,
passed unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic suggested City equipment be checked prior
.to budget so faulty equipment could be budgeted for and re-
placed without need for budget hearings.
The meeting adjourned at 10:55 P.M., following a motion by
Councilman Wiseman, seconded by Councilman Tomsic, passed
unanimously.

Councilmen Wiseman, Brewer, White, and Tomsic. Council
man Peterson was absent due to being out of town. Also
present was Attorney Coffman, Engineer Keogh, Police Chi f

building. He said the area would have tables with plan s
and other fauna, and that two gates would be placed in t e
fence for entering and to provide adequate exits in case
of fire. Mr. Nod also stated there would be no loud or
electrified music played within the area, servicing of
the area would be through the back door of the building,
and the open hours would be noon until dusk, with an
occasional private party allowed no later than midnight.
Mayor Jacobs asked if he had checked with the Health
Department yet. He stated he had planned to, but had
not as of yet. Councilman Brewer asked about age limit
and control of the people in the beer garden. Mr. Nod
said the area would be controlled and observed as much
as possible and felt there would be no problem with ndn-
ors. He also emphasized that it would be cleaned every
day, and no one would be allowed to sit on the steps or
sidewalk and consume food and beer as long as the open
beer garden was there. Police Chief Dalton said he was
somewhat opposed to the idea, but felt the Popular Place
had had a good record in the past of controlling the act
ivities of its customers. He said he felt the gates in
the fence should have to come through the building and
out the back door for better control. Mr. Nod said he
was willing to cooperate with the Council's wishes, and
that this would be done. Councilman White made the mo-
tion the Council accept Mr. Nod's request for a beer gar

A man in the audience pointed out that it is volunteering
parents that presently do the job, but there are no pro-
visions or insurance in case there is an accident, and it was
harms for parents to accept sole responsibility. Mrs. Tibbetts
said the parents would continue doing this for the current
year, since school was almost out, but they would want a
City employee doing it next year.
Ordinance #1-80 adopted, Attorney Coffman explained and answered questions regarding
Flood Insurance Ordinan -.Ordinance #1-80, which adopts a flood plain map for flood
insurance, which is required to obtain federal loans on hous-
ing. Deadline for adoption is June 4, 1980. The Ordinance
would also require all mobile homes that are moved into ex-
isting moblie home parks or subdivisions, or even moved to a
different location within the a park or subdivision, be
brought to specifications for flooding. Most of the people
in the audience objected to the adoption of the ordinance.
It was stated that the map was not correct; areas that had
actually flooded were not included in the map, but some areas
that had never flooded in as long as could be remembered,
were put on the map as potential flooding areas. Mrs.
Adair White and Mr. Pete Byrd voiced their objections the
most. Mrs. White stated the whole thing was blackmail;
the ordinance would have to be adopted, but she felt the
citizens' should be more active in their protest and form
a citizens' committee for such. Mr. Byrd said the Council;
should refuse to adopt the ordinance, because the citizens
could not fight it after passing it, even though such action
would eliminate all federal housing loans for Moab. Mayor
Jacobs said he would try to get ahold of some of the officials
from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Denver to have
them come to Moab to better explain the ordinance and flood
insurance requirements. Councilman Tomsic made the motion
the City adopt Ordinance #1-80 pertaining to flood plain in-
surance, seconded by Councilman Wiseman. Before a vote
was taken, Attorney Coffman advised the Council of some cor-
rections in the wording of the ordinance. Councilman White
said he opposed the ordinance, and that very day, had called
the offices of Senator Garn and Governor Matheson. He said
he got little help or sympathy from either of the offices.
Mayor Jacobs called for a vote on the motion and a roll -call
vote was taken. Those voting aye: Councilmen Tomsic and
Brewer; those voting nay: Councilmen White and Wiseman.
Mayor Jacobs voted in favor of the motion to break the tie;the
motion passed. Councilman Tomsic then made a motion that
with Ordinance d1-80 being made effective June 1, 1980, a
letter or letters be sent to Senators Garn and Hatch and
Representatives McKay and Merriott protesting the outright
blackmail tactics by the federal government in the adopting
of a flood plain ordinance, seconded by Councilman Brewer.
The motion carried 3 to 0. Councilman Wiseman was out of
the Council Chambers when the vote was taken. (Ordinance
41-80 as follows:)
ORDINANCE NO.1-80
FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION
Section 1.0 Statutory Authorization, Findings of Fact,
Purpose and Objectives
1.1 Statutory Authorization
The Constitution of the State of Utah, in
Article 11, and the Legislature of the State of Utah, in Title
10, Utah Code, has delegated the responsiblity to local govern-
mental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the
public health, safety and general welfare of its citizenry.
Therefore, the City Council of the City of Moab, State of
Utah, does ordain as follows:
1.2 Findings of Fact
A. The flood hazard areas of the City of
Moab are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss
of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption
of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public
expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impair-
ment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public
65
health, safety and general welfare.
E. These flood,losses-are,
caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas
of special flood hazards which increase flood heights an
velocities, and when inadequarely anchored, damage uses
in other areas. Uses_that are inadequately flood-proofe
elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage also
contirbute to the flood loss.
1.3 Statement of Purpose
It is the purpose of this ordinance t
promote the public health, safety and general welfare an
to minimize public and provate losses due to flood con-
ditions in specific areas by provisions designed:
A. To protect human life and health
B. To minimize expenditure of publi
money for costly flood control projects.
C. To minimize the need for rescue
and relief efforts assoicated with flooding and generall
undertaken at the expense of the general public.
O
rl D. To minimize prolonged business
interruptions.
GO GO E. To minimize damage to public fac
ilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, elec-
tric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges
located in areas of special flood hazard.
F. To help maintain a stable tax ba.e
by providing for the second use and development of areas
of special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood
blight areas.
G. To insure that potential buyers
are notified that property is in an area of special floo
hazard.
H. To ensure that those who occupy
the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility
for their actions.
1.4 Methods of Reducing Flood Losses
In order to accomplish its purpose, t is
ordinance includes methods and provisions for:
A. Restricting or prohibiting uses
which are dangerous to health, safety and property due t
water or erosion hazards, or which results in damaging
increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities.
B. Requiring that uses vulnerable t
floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be
protected against flood damage at the time of initial
construction.
C. , Controlling the alteration of na
ural flood plains, stream channels and natural protectiv
barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters
D. Controlling filling, grading, dr
ging and other development which may increase flood dam-
age.
E. Preventing or regulating the con
struction of flood barriers which will unnaturally diver
flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in othe
areas.

The Council had heard a complaint several Council meetings
ago about debris in Virginia Johnson's trailer court in the
vicinity of Walnut Lane. The Mayor and Attorney Coffman
investigated trailer courts belonging to Mrs. Johnson, Dr.
Mayberyy. and the Nelson's. It was the opinion orAttor-
ney Coffman from this tour that no City Zoning ordinance was
being violated.
Attorney Coffman updated the Croasman case, he advised that
Croasman is not the violator, instead the body shop tennants
are creating the eyesore and he intends to file action against
the body shop owner.
Attorney Coffman commended Curtis Fleming on the excellent

There was some discussion regarding a residence in Palisades
Subdivision in violation of the single family dwelling or-

Councilman White had two questions concerning the bills, one
from Boise Cascade Building Material Center, on the new shop
addition signed by Vinnie Camberlango, as to why these were
being charged to the City, the Mayor replied, that Boise Cas-
cade Building Material Center was charging sales tax when
they shouldn't. Councilman Tomsic made the comment'that it
was illegal to handle a bid in this manner. It should be
billed to us in three stages. Councilman White suggested
that an accumulative total and substantial paper work back-
ing it up be presented at the meeting on the 20th of May.
Councilman White also questioned the bill from Alien Memorial
Hospital 'for Fay M. Landon and Nancy C. Williams, for exam-
inations. Attorney Coffman made the comment that it was

Mr. Orb Wiggle, acting as spokesman for a group of
Walnut Lane residents, came before the City Council
to present a petition asking that Arroyo Road be
closed. Mr. Wiggle pointed out the road closing
would only be temporary in order to count the throug
traffic and how many actually stay there. The res-
idents would like to see the City install speed trap
and speed signs. Les Erbes spoke up from the audi-
ence and suggested the group form Neighborhood
Watch Program to help cut down on the crimes in the
area. Mr. Wiggle said that that had been done to
some extent. Councilman Brewer said he had talked

commented that the FM Station would offer a noncompetitive
alternative to commerical radio. He -asked that the Council

they contribute money. Councilman Wiseman moved the dis-
cussion be tabled until the Council could study the pro-
posal, Councilman White seconded, approved unanimously.
Inspector Brundage discussed with the Council the removal of
inoperable vehicles from property in residential areas in the
City. Inspector Brundage clarified some of the applicable
ordinances. Ordinance 27-3-10 states: Storage of Junk
and Debris in residential zones prohibited: No yard or
other open space surrounding an existing building in any
residential zone, shall be used for the storage of junk or
debris or inoperable vehciles; and no land shall be used for
Bach purposes, except as specifically permitted herein. Council-
man Peterson recited ordinances 16-1 and 16-2 "Nuisances" and
"Public nuisnnce; a "Public -nuisance" consists of unlawfully
doing any act of omitting to perform any duty which act or
ommission results in any of the following:
16-1 "Nuisance" and Public Nuisance
(a) Annoys, injures or endangers the comfort, re-
pose, health or safety of three (3) persons.
(b) Offends public decency.
(c) Unlawfully interferes with, obstructs or
tends to obstruct or renders dangerous for pass-
age, any lake, stream, canal, or basin, or any
public park, square, street, or highway.
(d) In any way renders three (3) or more persons
insecure in life or the use of property.
16-2 Creation, Maintenance, etc., of Nuisance Prohibited:
No person, either as owner, agent or occupant, shall
create, maintain or aid in creating or contributing
to a nuisance.
In order for Mrs. Cook to get any where with her complaint,
at least two more people must file a complaint about the cars.
Members of the Moab Sportsman's Club asked the Council's per-
mission to stock the pond in :the Old City Park_ with trout,
to provide a fishing spot for youngsters. Attorney Coffman
said that the City's insurance didn't carry liability for such
a project, and that the fence around the pond and the steep
banks could be dangerous. Mayor Jacobs pointed out the park
is for groups with reservations and stated that adult super-
vision would be necessary. Garth Carter stated that kids
over 12 years of age must have a fishing license. After a
lenghty discussion, Councilman Wiseman made the motion allow-
ing the Sportsman Club to use the pond at the Old City Park
for 9 consecutive days commencing on May 31st, for fishing,
with the stipulation that two adult supervisiors from the Sports-
man Club will supervise duringthesehours: 8 A.M. to 8 P.M.
on the weekends and 4 to 8 P.M. on weekdays. Further, two
signs stating hours, no fishing without two adult supervisors
and that the project was under the sponsorship of the Sports-
man Club. Further permission was granted to stock the pond
on May 29th. The motion was seconded by Councilman Tomsic,
approved unanimously.
Councilman White directed a question to Assistant Chief Brown-
elle, who was in the audience, would closing Walnut Lnae be
a help or a hindrance to the Police Department? Brownelle
replied it wouldn't make a lot of difference either way.
Dennis E. Byrd came before the Council requesting permission
to extend Westwood Street and Palisade Street so he can de-
velop two lots for Farm Home Rousing. He proposed he be
issued building permits, prior to the completion of the ut-
ilities on the -basis of agreeing to complete the utilities

tracts are finalized. A11 improvements to be firm.bid
prior -to start of any construction, and agreement finals
before issuing building permits. Utilities to include
curb, gutter, street, water and sewer. Sidewalks not
included. Councilman Tomsic made the motion the Counci
-grant Larry permission to issue the building permits wit
a six month limit on the improvments from the date of
issuance of the building permit. Councilman Brewer sec
onded, approved unanimously.
Attorney Coffman mentioned a couple of updates in the $t
of Utah Law. The present code has been amended twice in
the last three years. Any government body must provide
defense, which means the City will have to establish a
fund to cover all misdemeanor offenses in the City which
would require the Council's approval. One alternative
would be to reduce all violations of the City Code to in
fractions, which are not a misdemeanor and cannot result
in a jail sentence. Involved would be DUI - Driving Und
the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor, DDR - Driving Duri
Revocation, Shop Lifting, and Petty Larceny. Councilma
Wiseman was opposed, he had several questions regarding
defendant's claiming indigency. Attorney Coffman will
prepare the ordinance and talk to Harry Snow and the Cou
about being the Attorney for these cases.
The Council briefly discussed Councilman Wiseman's lette
of resignation. Besides his City Council seat, he must
be replaced on Special Service Water District and Commit
for Senior Citizens building fund. Councilman Wiseman
suggested a City Councilman be named. Attorney Coffman
informed the Council his replacement for City Council,
would be only until the next general election, which is
November and take office in January.
Councilman Brewer mentioned the letter from the Chamber
Commerce requesting $400 for fire works, which is 1/3 of
the total cost, to be divided with the County and the
Chamber of Commerce. Councilman Wiseman moved that the
Council approve the $400 expenditure, to be included in
1980-81 budget, in the same motion a letter be sent to t
Chamber of Commerce, hereafter that requests come at bud
get time. Seconded by Councilman White, approved unani
mously.
Councilman Brewer questioned the salary for the manager
of the Swimming Pool, in her proposed schedule she said
$1,000, but it was decided back in March at a City Counc
meeting she be re -instated at $900 a month. Also, on
the proposed schedule, the Mayor deleted the last item -
No Kayaks. The season pass fee will remain the same.
Councilman White inquired about the retaining wall in Ho
Subdivision, (bids reviewed and accepted at previous mee
ing). Mayor Jacobs told Councilman White that it was
complete.
Councilman White also inquired about the Budget Hearing
which is scheduled for Thursday, June 26, 1980. He als
mentioned, after reviewing the new financial report, fun
will have to be transferred interdepartmentally. Counc
man Tomsic said that was normal proceedure.
Mayor Jacobs mentioned a memo he received from Ralph MCC
concerning an Auditor for the Budget. The Mayor can ap
point Ed Claus, CPA. There was some question as to whe
ther Mr. Claus, doing the monthly work, could legally do
the yearly audit. The Mayor was going to check with Mr
Hymns at the State Capital.
Mayor Jacobs told the Council about a citizen who brough
a license number to him, some guy pulled his truck up to
the trash cans and was dumping his trash at the City Par
He also told the Council about the horses being rode thr
the City Park. The Mayor would like permission to tell
the dispatcher not to open the City yard to weigh trucks
or to get water on the weekends. They call men from th
shop or a policeman and the City has to pay them over-
time.

end of the season, take the cost of installing the gate out
of the percentage that would go to the Recreation Board.

8$
A -special meeting -was called to open bids on the Garbage
Contract on the above date in the Council Chambers, Moab
City Hall. The meeting -was called to order by Mayor
Jacobs at 8:06 P.M. Present were Councilmen Tomsic,
White, Peterson and Brewer. Councilman Wiseman was ab-
sent. Also present were Attorney Coffman, Secretary
Johnson and 5 citizens:
The only bid submitted was from Robert Hawks, dba Bob's
Sanitation, our present contractor. After Council re-
viewed the different services offered, Councilman Tomsic
made the motion to accept the Council's selected garbage
pick-up service bid for twice -a -week, back door pick-up,
in the residential area•at $8.25 a month. Business,
Commerical and Institutional, 100 gallons per week, twice
a -week pick-up (50 gallons each) at a minimum of $10.00 a
month. And all of the other modifications stipulated in
the contract for a term of six years. Councilman Peter-
son seconded, approved unanimously.
Mayor Jacobs had a couple of other things to discuss with
the Council, one was concerning the Airport. Mr. Dan
Nelson with the State Aviation Division had phoned him
regarding the Canyonlands Airport and advised he's workin
for a subsidy to have a large airline come into the Moab
area on a regular schedule. The subsidy would be forth-
coming and there's a hearing coming up in Washington.
They still need considerable amount of data at a cost of
$1;500.00 to $2,000.00 to the City which would be an in-
vestment, however, this should be discussed with the Coun
Mayor Jacobs said the City needs a regular scheduled air-
line in and -out of Moab. The City still has $2,000.00 i
the Community Relations Fund, that could be used along
this line. There was no action taken.
Councilman Tomsic mentioned that on her way to this meeti
she passed the City park and saw at least five dogs in th
park. The Mayor replied that he would like to hire some
bouncers to control this situation.
The Mayor also mentioned that the shop crews are working
on the signs to be placed at both ends of Walnut Lane and
Arroyo Road; the signs read: Private Property, Resident
Only, No Thoroughfare, Street Open to Residents Only, som
should be completed and installed by tomorrow. Attorney
Coffman stated that the middle lane through Mrs. Johnson'
trailer court has a quit claim deed on it and has never
been transpoased to the raod. Councilman Tomsic had a
phone call from a resident in Walnut Lane Trailer Court
requesting it be a fire zone for the fire trucks and the
ambulance. Councioman Brewer said he had contacted both
of these officials prior to last weeks meeting and learne
they are not used for either service.
The Mayor reported that the ditch was dug today at the Ci
Park for the new pump being installed in accordance with
the new Sprinkling system.

the meeting to order at 8:00 P.M. Present were Councilmen
Tomsic, White and Brewer. Councilman Peterson was absent
and Councilman Peterson was absent and Councilman Wiseman
was not in attendance as he had to leave prior to his res-
ignation. Also present were Attorney Coffman, City Engin-
eer Keoght, Administrator McClure, Deputy Recorder Coursey,
Secretary Johnson, the Media and 1 citizen.
Councilman Tomsic made the motion the minutes of the May
20th meeting be approved as submitted, seconded by Council-
man White, approved unanimously.
Mayor Jacobs advised citizen Ted Knight from Walnut Lane that
the City would have to wait for the traffic counters before
any action can be taken regarding the Arroyo Road closure.
Attorney Coffman stated a solution may take legal action.
Mayor Jacobs mentioned to the Council eight signs had been
placed on Walnut Lane and Arroyo Road and that he had been
informed by residents that the traffic signs had reduced
soem of the through traffic. Councilman Brewer feels the
road should be closed; that the matter should therefore be
brought before the City Planning Commission for their invest-
igation and recommendation, and so moved. Councilman White
seconded, approved unanimously. The City Planning Commission
meeting will be advertised for public hearing.
Rich Laub, an employee of KURA Radio, submitted a letter from
Station Manager, Rand Taylor, voicing their non-support of
the FM Radio Station introduced to the Council at the May 6th
meeting by Mr. Ben Hendricks of Four Corners and providing
classical music, local topics and an educational format, but
did oppose the FM Station asking for outside financial support
from the City. The Council agreed with the feelings expressed
in the letter. Councilman White moved that the Council re-
ject Hendricks request for financial aid. Seconded by Council-
man Tomsic, approved unanimously.
City Engineer Keogh gave a brief report on :he Road School he
attended. He attended meetings concerning concrete and learned
about a new patching material for filling in holes, though this
product was quite expensive. He also gave a run down on the
Millcreek Drive Wall; it is complete and ready for sidewalk
installation. The wall in Hobbs subdivision constructed by
Canyonlands Concrete is also complete.
Attorney Coffman announced a possible hearing at the next Council
meeting on a proposal to amend Section 27-25-1 of the Moab
City Code, to comply with Federal Flood Insurance regulations.
The amendment would require that Moblie homes in designated
flood plain areas meet Federal Regulations regarding tie -
downs and foundations. Councilman Tomsic.had made a pre-
vious statement that the Federal Government is "Blackmailing"
the City by threatening to withhold all Federally insured
financing if the City does not enact the regulations. The
Council had previously adopted an ordinance requiring that
the Federal standards be met in new homes. Mayor Jacobs
stated that an attempt was being made to bring in a Federal
representative from Denver to explain the regulations to local
real estate firms and interested citizens.
The Council briefly discussed Councilman Wiseman's resignation.
Evidently, Councilman Wiseman had to leave town prior to his
date of resignation. Attorney Coffman pointed out that
the Council can appoint any registered voter to fill the re-
mainder of Councilman Wiseman's term. The Council invites
applications from interested citizens.
Attorney Coffman stated that the Discrimination case against
the City has been withdrawn, so that matter is closed.
Councilman Brewer asked when the Council would be able to re-
view the budget before the hearing on June 26th. Mayor Jacobs
said the Council will have a chance to review the budget prior
to the hearing upon its completion.
Parking and traffic a
problem at the Base -
all park.
Councilman Brewer mentioned the problem of traffic and parking
around the Baseball park. He suggested that stripes be painted
on the stree so that all of the parking would be angle parking
rather some of it parallel, thereby providing more room.
Councilman Brewer wondered how soon this could be done,
if it had to be budgeted and so forth. Mayor Jacobs
said it would take four men about two weeks to complete
such a project with the equipment they have, and that
possibly they could start with First South, since that i
where the biggest problem is.
Councilman Tomsic reminded the Mayor to rescind all ap-
pointments of the Council and department heads and give
them to Administrator McClure. She also suggested the
Council think about a gift for Councilman Wiseman, this
is standard proceedure, as he was with the Council about
4 years.
Councilman White welcomed the new City Administrator, Ra
McClure. He also inquired about the $1500 to $2,00 for
airport whichT-was discussed in the Garbage meeting. Ma
Jacobs told Councilman White he'd left that up to Counci
man Peterson, -and didn't know what had transpired, but th
he:will talk to Councilman Peterson. It had been,decid
the money for the airport would come out of the Communit
Relations Fund. Councilman -White also mentioned a lett
from Blue Cross - Blue Shields; the increase will be
approximately $5.00 per employee.
Mayor Jacobs said he had talked to Mary Martin about her
salary, which will be left at $900 a month. Mary menti
to the Mayor all the acts of vandalism recently occurrin
at the swimming pool. Mayor Jacobs suggested the Counc
consider having a uniformed Police Officer patrol the Ci
Park on foot, on a regular beat. The matter will be di
cussed with Police Chief Dalton.
Mayor Jacobs informed the Council about a no -host break-
fast to be held at 7:00 A.M., on June 13th, at the Ramad
Inn with a group from the University of Utah. In 1977 t
group conducted a study of our area, and as they are now
ready to present it for approval they would like to have
members of the City Council and various groups and citiz
present.
The City has been asked to contribute $50.00 to the Amer
ican Waterworks Association. The Waterworks Associatio
is fighting the EPA, as,they feel the EPA is over-steppi
their bounds by creating a difficult situation for Cities
under a ten thousand population. Their membership fees
don't quite substantiate the expenses involved with this
fight. Councilman Tomsic made the motion the Council
donate $50.00 to the American Waterworks Association to
take the EPA to court, seconded by Councilman Brewer, a.
proved unanimously.
The Mayor mentioned the busy schedule at the swimming poo
this season. Councilman White said his children were
taking lessons and are very excited about the things they
are learning. He also said Mary Martin was doing a area
job.
Mayor Jacobs attended a meeting in Salt Lake on Monday,
June 2nd, at which time a committee was set up by the Gov
ment to study the active waste disposal, not tailings.
The committee consists of elected officials, some of whic
are Eddy Boyle from San Juan, Hardy Redd from Monticello,
Hommer Bunnell, Mayon Jacobs and various university pro-
fessors. The states won't have any say in the matter.
Washington is going to make the investigation. Governor
Matheson said he is trying to get a study going so we can
be informed. The program is supposed to take 14 years
to conduct.
Councilman Tomsic made the motion the Council accept the
letter of resignation from City/County Building Inspector
Brundage. Seconded by Councilman White, approved unani-
mously. His resignation will become effective June 20,
1980. Administrator McClure said Inspector Brundage has
agreed to continue hie inspection duties on a consulting
basis until a replacement can be found. Inspector Brund
age will work out a schedule with Administrator McClure,
and will be paid on an hourly basis on $9.25/hour. Mr.
Brundage will have the use of the City vehicle during the
time he is performing services for the City, but the vehi

Administrator McClure told the Council immediate action needs
to be taken to designate Revenue Sharing Funds. The monies
in Revenue Sharing Funds need to be transferred to Capital
Project Funds. If not, the City could stand to loose this
money at the end of the fiscal year. He suggested that
$228,770 be appropriated for a new swimming pool, $9,000
for Administrative equipment, $12,000 for Water and Sewer,
and $3,500 for Utilities equipment, for a total of $253,270.
Even though substantial additional funds will be necessary
for the pool project, once the money is appropriated, it
can be retained by the City. Administrator McClure said
an ordinance would be needed, specifying a proposed'commence-
ment and completion date for the pool along with the total
coat estimate. Councilman Tomsic made the motion that the
funds be transferred out -of Revenue Sharing Funds into
Capital Project Funds: $228,770 for a Swimming Pool, $9,000
for Administrative equipment, $12,000 for Water/Sewer, and
$3,500 for Utilities equipment for a total of $253,270 and
that Attorney Coffman be instructed to prepare an ordinance
for consideration. Seconded by Councilman White, approved
unanimously.
Administrator McClure said he would like to change the pro-
cedure for the presentation of bills to the Council. He
would like to attach a supplement with the Agenda, which
would consist of what the purchase was, which department
made it, and the total purchase amount. The bills would
also be at the meeting if there were any questions con-
cerning them.
Les Erbes, who was in the audience, asked if someone would
write a letter to ABC's Wide World of Sports, thanking them
for an excellant job in televising the Castle Rock Climb in
which:Moab was mentioned so favorably. Councilman White
made the motion to write ABC's Wide World of Sports a letter
seconded by Councilman Tomsic, approved unanimously.
Don Robinson, Utilities Coordinator, reported to the Council
that the Division of Water Resources had given a blanket
approval of City Water rights totaling 11 second/feet from
six wells. At the maximum, the City's sources can produce
4,000 gallons per minute.
Mr. Robinson told the Council in great detail how much money
and time the signs were for the Walnut Lane and Arroyo Roads.
He said it ran the City completely out of sign supplies and
cost a total of $474. He further told the Council about the
complications of giving the Sportsmans Club permission to
stock the pond at the Old City Park with trout. He said that
the water had to be diverted to the pond, requiring the shut-
down of a chlorination station. He asked that the Council
consider all ramifications before making any decision.
Councilman White moved the Council approve the bills for pay-
ment as presented, seconded by Councilman Tomsic, approved un-
animously.
Councilman Tomsic moved the meeting be adjourned to executive
session at 9:44 P.M. for the purpose of discussing personnel
matters, seconded by Councilman White, approved unanimously.

Attorney Coffman summarized an amendment to the Moab Cit Change imprisonment
D4 Code which would change some imprisonment offenses to In offenses from Misde-
fractions rather than Misdemeanors with the following meanors to Infraction:
exceptions:
1. Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquo
Drugs.

meanors the City will not have to provide defense for in
digents. Councilman Tomsic made the motion the Council

cept Shop Lifting; Councilman White seconded, approved
unanimously. Ordinance 03-80 reads as follows:

Councilman Peterson mentioned that these Public Hearings are
for the public to voice their opinions either written or
orally.
Councilman Tomsic made the motion Administrator McClure ad-
vertise for a public hearing on Mike Steele's City Zone
change: Mr. Steele is requesting a change from an R-2
zone to a C-2 Zone, at 478 West 4th North. The Moab City
Planning Commission has given Mr. Steele the necessary
recommendation for City Council approval at a meeting held
April 2, 1980. The public hearing for Mr. Steele will be
held at the City Council meeting on July 15, 1980; Council-
man White seconded, approved unanimously.
Mr. Curt Pehrson, Planner for the Southeastern Utah Associ-
ation of Governments, called and cancelled; he will appear
at the next Council meeting.
Mike Steele publicly thanked the City Council for allowing
the Sportsman Club to stock -the pond at the Old City Park
with trout for the youngsters to fish.
The Council examined personnel sheeets on new, temporary
employees at the Swim Center. After looking those over,
Councilman Tomsic made the motion the Council accept the
new hires as presented, seconded by Councilman White,
proved unanimously.
Chief Dalton stated that things are going quite smoothly with
the City Police Force. Councilman White asked Chief Dal-
ton if he had inquired about the traffic counters for count-
ing the traffic through Walnut Lane. Chief Dalton was
under the impression the Mayor was going to secure the
counters', the Council informed him that he was responsible
for doing that. Chief Dalton said he would get in touch
with the proper authorities.
City Engineer Keogh asked if any of the Revenue Sharing Funds
could be used for Flood Control; there is a drainage pro-
blem on First South and First East near Bullock's Laundry.
Administrator McClure informed Engineer Keogh that Revenue
Sharing Funds could not be used for that.
Attorney Coffman commented on two letters, the first letter
from Mr. Art Mitchell of 498 Rosetree Lane, concerning
chickens in a residential zone. Mr. Mitchell stated the
chickens on his property are a rare breed of bantam hens
and he uses them to control insects around his yard. He
had talked to the majority of his neighbors and none of them
objected to the hens; therefore, he stated he is going to
keep them. Attorney Coffman also mentioned that Mr. Mit-
chell said he would place a fence around his antique cars.
The second letter, written by Inspector Brundage to Mr.
Olivetto, owner of the Greenwell Motel, concerning un-
finished landscaping and sidewalks on the side of his
motel that runs up First South to First East. In a
Council meeting in 1977, a verbal agreement was.made
between Mr. Olivetto and the City Council that Mr. Olive to
and the Greenwell Motel would do this landscaping. Mr.
Olivetto has now been given ten days to start the side-
walk and landscaping and an additional 20 days to comple e
the work.
Attorney Coffman suggested a public hearing be set for
the July lst, 1980 regularly -scheduled Council meeting
to amend Section 27-25-1,of the Moab City Code. This
amendment would delete,certain present specifications
for building requirements. The present Code reads that
a building permit is not required to move a mobile home
into a moblie home park. Also, this Ordinance would
require Mobile Homes to meet the requirements for Federa
Flood Insurance.- The Federal Regulations include speci
fications as to the elevation of main floors and tie -do .s
Also, Attorney Coffman suggested the Council give some
though to raising the scheduled building permit fees.
(Upon Consultation with Engineer Keogh), as to the numbe
of inspections made;two inspections are required. Coun il-
man White made the motion to instruct City Administrator
Recorder McClure to advertise for Public Hearing on July
1st, 1980 with respect to City building Permits and Mobi e
Home Flood Zones, Councilman Tomsic seconded, approved
unanimously.

Administrator McClure mentioned a recent phone call and

of Utah, regarding a downtown Main Street Eeautification
Program. This Beautification program would require a
person to oversee such'a project,' with a cost to the City
of about $22,000.00 per year. The Council agreed to turn
down the request from the Community Development Committee.
Councilman Peterson'reported tha the Air Travel Council is
still in the process of discussing with the Civil Aeronautics
Borad the possibility of bringing air service into the Moab
area. oThe Council briefly discussed sending the Mayor to
Washington, D. C., when the time arises to testify at the
hearing.
Councilman Tomsic informed the Council that the Dead Men
Motorcycle gang was in town, and residing in a house in
Palisades Subdivision. Councilman Tomsic suggested the
City Attorney write a letter informing them they are in
violation of the Zoning Ordinance which prohibits more than
a single family living in a single-family dwelling. Council-
man Tomsic said she had received several phone calls from
concerned residents living in that area. Attorney Coffman
commented that no legal action could be taken unless the
citizens file a formal complaint. A lengthy discussion
followed.
Councilman White inquired as to when the Council will choose
a replacement for Councilman Wiseman. He was informed that
the Council has 30 days effective from Mr. Wiseman's resig-
nation date of June 30, 1980, to make a selection.
Councilman White also suggested the Council solicit bids for
the monthly accounting work. The Council agreed with Council-
man White, Administrator McClure added bidding would have
to be done before the month of May so it can be included in
the budget.
Administrator McClure reported that the First South block
around the ball park has been surveyed and is ready to have
the stripes painted; this will be done within the next couple
of days.
Councilman Brewer asked how the hiring of a new Building Ins-
pector was progressing. Administrator McClure replied that
he thought he could have the selection narrowed down to the top
three prospects, by June 20th, 1980, so that he can meet with
the County Commissioners and the City Council.
Attorney Coffman stated that a pre-trial date for the Duane
Wimmer case was set for July 7th, 1980.
Councilman White moved the Council approve the bills as pre-
sented; seconded by Councilman Tomsic, approved unanimously.

Administrator McClure stated that the Federal Government is
going to continue Revenue Sharing for at least another three
years for Cities and Towns. Administrator McClure announced
to the public that the 1980-81 City Mi11 Levy would not be
raised. It will remain the same as in the previous two
years.
The 1980-81 Budget for the City of Moab will designate
$177,991.00 for Administration, $221,500.00 for General
Government Buildings, $38,775.00 for Judicial, $226,670.00 for

Community & Economic Development and a Building addition.
For a grand total of expenditures of $1,411,856.00.
At 8:29 P.M. Administrator McClure turned the meeting back to
the Mayor. Mayor Jacobs reminded the public that the state
does no receive Revenue Sharing Funds. This will effect some
of the State Programs, but it will not effect Cities or Towns.
There is no assurance that Revenue Sharing will go on indefinit-
ely. He also mentioned that Revenue Sharing is always spent
on Capital Improvements. The Mayor asked if there were any
questions. A lady in the audience from the Helen M. Knight
School, PTA, inquired about the crossing guards they requested
last spring. Mayor Jacobs replied that $2,000.00 had been
appropriated in the Police Budget for a crossing guard and
equipment (reflective vest, whistles, and etc.)
sLoren Johnson, also in the audience asked why the City was
planning to install a new swimming pool when the present
swimming pool was not making money. Mayor Jacobs explained
to Mr. Johnson that money had been earmarked for the purpose
of a new swimming pool only to take it from the Revenue Sharing
Fund to Capital Improvement fund. If this was not done, the
City could stand to loose this money. He also went on to
explain that the swimming pool did loose a little money each
year, but feels it is important that the citizens of the com-
munity(especially the kids) have such a facility. Mr. John-
son also voiced his protest to the donation of $25,000.00 to
the Moab Golf and Country Club. Councilman Brewer explained
to Mr. Johnson each municipality has these functions such as
the Golf Course, Swimming Pool, and Ball Parks, each brings
in revenues.
Councilman Tomsic moved the Council accept the Budget as pre-
sented, seconded by Councilman White. Councilman White men-
tioned the budget included two new police cars and one new
officer. He also menitoned that the budget inlcuded $2,000.00
for drug enforcement which has not been included in years be-
fore. The motion was approved unanimously by roll -call vote.
The public hearing ended at 8:46 P.M.
Councilman Peterson made the motion Administrator/Recorder
McClure be given permission to transfer monies within the
general fund to another. Seconded by Councilman White,
approved unanimously.
Councilman Brewer moved that the auditor be authorized to trans-
fer funds from one account to another by making a loan from
one fund to another. Seconded by Councilman White, approved
unanimously.
Dick Allen, a member of the audience asked if the City antici-

man White, approved unanimously.
Curt Pehrson, Planner for the Southeastern Utah Associa-
tion of Governments, was scheduled for the meeting but
was not in attendance, so the agenda proceeded as written
Ken McDoµgald, a memeber of the Land Committee, a committ
established to study the needs of a multi -purpose complex
was present. The Committee feels additional bonding is
not necessary; it is proposed that approximately 60 acres
of ground near the Moab Golf Course be deeded over to a
special authority, whereby the City and the County jointl
create an Inner Local Corporation Act, which will be sep-
erate legal public entity to develop the multi -purpose
complex at the Moab Coif Course. The 60 acres will be
divided into lots of one or more acres per lot. The lot
that are sold within the proposed development area will
be sold for revenue to start construction of the complex.
Preliminary cost of the recreation center is $523,000.00.
Lots should be ready to sell within a minimum of one year
The user fee for the recreational facilities should be ad
equate to pay for the operation and maintenance of the
facilities. Mr. McDougald■ along with Dick Allen, Bill
Meador, Rudy Higgins and Skip Nightingale, explained to
the Council and the audience the need for a facility whic
will house an additional club bourse for the golf course,
shower and locker facilities, also for the Golf Course,
tennis Courts, a small indoor -outdoor swimming pool,
rqquetball, handball and squash courts, driving range and
a miniature golf course, Rudy Higgin spoke about a poss
ible convention center with a large room for dining, in-
cluding a small restaurant, a meeting room and a dance
floor. Skip Nightingale spoke about the economic bene-
fits to the community. Dick Keeler from Grand Junction,
built a similar complex in Grand Junction; he spoke about
the success of the facility which includes saunas and jac
uzzis. It was mentioned that this future development co
include hiking trails and an additional nine holes for th
golf course (the other facilities mentioned are of higher
priority than the .Golf Course). Mr. Loren Johnson from
the audience voiced his opposition to the project, saying
the facility would only serve a small portion of the cit-
izens. He also resented the City spending money on the
present Golf Course. A public hearing with the City Cou

owned by the City; further stating, Attorney Coffman pro-
vide the Council with a draft of a resolution. Seconded
by Councilman Tomsic, who included this does not obligate
the City to any improvements. The motion passed, with
Councilman Tomsie and Councilman Peterson voting aye,
Councilman White voting nay, Councilman Brewer was absent.
Councilman Tomsic maoved not to allow kayaks in the City
Swimming Pool, seconded by Councilman White. Bill Davis,
a reporter for the Times Independent, said the Council was
doing a desservice to the Community by not allowing the
Kayaks to practice rolling in the pool. He said using
the pool to practice rolling was the only safe way to learn,
as the water has to be still, without any currents. Council-
man Peterson suggested the Kayakers contact one of the
motels to see about renting one_of those pools. The mo-
tion passed unanimously.
Police Chief Dalton told the Council he checked on the
traffic counters for Walnut Lane and Arroyo Road. He
talked to Sterling Davis with the State of Utah and he
in turn contacted the Mayor saying their Counters were
tied up. Les Erbes suggested the City contact Pete Parry
with the National Park Service; they might have some traffic
counters. City Engineer Keogh suggested the City con-
sider making a road through the LDS Church's ordhard, from
First West through to Walnut Lane, as an alternative to
going from Fifth West to First West. Mayor Jacobs said
all aspects should be considered. No decisions were
made.
Attorney Coffman mentioned Ordinance #5-80 amending Sec-
tion 27-25 of the Moab City Code, regarding requirements
for Building Permits when moving and when siteing Mobile
Homes in Mobile Home Subdivisions in the City limits.
Also mentioned was a resolution: Resolution #80-6 amend-
ing Ordinance #9-77 forcthe scheduled building permit fees.
Attorney Coffman instructed Secretary Johnson to include
with the Council's packet, Ordinance #9-77, the present
ordinance with the current rates, so the Council can re-
view and make a decision; Ordinance #5-80 and Resolution
#80-6. (Ordinances #9-77 & #5-80 and Resolution #80-6
- See July 15, 1980 minutes)
Administrator McClure presented the Council with personnel
action forms granting a 10% cost -of -living raise approved
in the budget for full-time, permanent employees. Council-
man Tomsic made the motion the Council accept the personnel
action forms which includes a 10% cost -of -living raise,
granted this year, seconded by Councilman White, approved
unanimously.
Administrator McClure proposed a question to the Council
that Mary Martin, Swim Pool Manager, asked him. We are
starting to have Trails West groups come into swim; they
use the pool facilities and City Park leaving an awful mess.
In prior years, the City has charged them $1.75 per swimmer,
which is 75e more than the regular fee. The Council dis-
cussed several alternatives to solve the problem with the
mess at the Park and the discipline at the swimming pool,
when the Trails West groups are there. The Council decided
to stay with the $1.75 per swimmer; then upon entering the
pool, inform the group's supervisor of the rules and that the
Trails West people will abide by them or not use the pool.
In years to come, a letter will be written prior to the
summer tour season informing the Trails West Headquarters
of the procedure.
Administrator McClure mentioned a letter he received from
the office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, asking
the City to sign a statement of support regarding National
Guard Duty or Reserve Duty; stating that time taken off
from work would not reflect on vacation or leave time.
The personnel policy manual recognizes this and states that
the City will compensate the difference between what the
Guard or Reserve duty pays, but will not compensate over
and above that.
Councilman Tomsic inquired as to the progress of hiring a
new Building Inspector. Administrator McClure said he
awaiting additional information on one of the top appli-
cants; as soon as he receives this information he will be
ready to set-up interviews and proceed with the hiring.
The Council briefly discussed some problems the Sunset
Motel is having with their swimming pool. It was decide
the City has wade all of the required inspections and tha
the problem is now between the owner of the pool and the
contractor.
Councilman White inquired as to the procedure of re -hires
for the City, Employees that have previously worked for
the City, quit, or have been released, are they re-instat
at the same pay, with benefits, etc., or are they consid-
ered new hires and follow the new hire procedures. Mayo
Jacobs told Councilman White that it depends on the cir-
cumstances, the experience of the individual and the posi
tion.
Mayor Jacobs gave a brief report on the new water tank;
he said the Engineers have done some surveying, but need
to get the land and the right-of-way. A11 of the prelim
inary work has to be completed within 90 days.
Mayor Jacobs mentioned briefly the tremendous amount of
water the City is using. 94 million gallons were used
in June. He also commented on the fine job the crews
are doing in keeping the Parks maintained.
Mayor Jacobs urged the Council to attend the Agenda for

Code requiring a building permit when moving add siteing
Ordinance #5-80, Build
ing Permits for mobile
homes.
90
Ordinance #5-80/
mobile homes in mobile home subdivisions within the City
limits of Moab. When several people in the audience ex-
pressed their disapproval of this requirement, Mayor Jacobs
stated the City does not agree with these restrictions,
regarding Federal Flood Insurance; but they are being im-
posed by the Federal Government. If the City does not
approved this Ordinance, the Federal Government can with-
draw financing for City home buyers. The Flood Insur-
ance Program will require mobile homes conform to a speci-
fic blocking pattern and require over -the -top and frame
tiedowns. Attorney Coffman stated that the new res-
trictions will not effect mobile homes currently in parks,
but new mobile homes moving into parks will be required to
meet Federal standards. Building permits will also be
required for mobile homes moved from one park to another
within the City. Attorney Coffman mentioned that res-
idents, mobile -home park owners and mobile -home industry
representatives can file a petition protesting the Fed-
eral regulations. However, Attorney Coffman recommended
that the City contact Federal Officials before making
any changes, in order to protect the availability of
flood insurance to other homeowners. Councilman Peterson
made the motion to adopt Ordinance #5-80, amending Section
27-25-1, of the Maob City Code, requiring a building per-
mit when moving and siteing mobile homes into a mobile
home subdivision within the City limits, thereby deleting
the last sentence from that Section "...except that no
permit shall be required for the moving of an approved
mobile home park", seconded by Councilman Brewer, approved
unanimously. (Ordinance #5-80 as_follows:)

POSING A FUTURE REQUIREMENT FOR BUILDING PERMITS WHEN

leitng from the last sentence of that -section, the clause:

it being the intention of this ordinance by the deletion
aforesaid that on the effective date of this ordinance,
any one moving a mobile home into a mobile home subdivi-
sion in the City of Moab will be rquired to have a build-
ing permit.

Is / Harold Jacobs, Mayor
/s/ Ralph Y. McClure, Recorder
Upon passing Ordinance #5-80, the number of inspections
for the Building Inspector and City Engineer will increas
thereby adding additional expense and tripe to these two
Departments. The current Ordinance (Ordinance #9-77),
which contains the building Permit fees, needs to be re-
evaluated and brought up-to-date. Councilman White mo-
ved to table the proposed resolution until Administrator
McClure can make further investigations and discuss the
matter with the new Building Inspector. Seconded by
Coundilman Brewer, approved unanimously.
Dr. Donald Hoffman, Veterinarian for the community, came
before the Council requesting back pay for boarding and
exterminating cats. The additional work was imposed whe
the cat ordinance was passed. The Council discussed wit
Dr. Hoffman his reasoning for not submitting an invoice
when the additional work was being performed. Supposedl
he was waiting for the City to draw -up a contract coveri
the cats. Councilman Tomsic moved the Council approve
payment -of $600.00 to Dr. Hoffman for back pay, and that
a contract be drqwn up between the City and Dr. Hoffman.
Councilman White seconded, approved unanimously.
Councilman Brewer asked Chief Dalton if the speed of big
trucks is checked going through town. Chief Dalton told
Councilman Brewer that the trucks stay within the speed
limit and it was not a problem.
City Engineer Keogh asked for the Councils opinion about
the width of a sidewalk in front of a house on Fourth
North Street next to the new LDS Church. The sidewalk
in front of the church is five feet (5'), Engineer Keogh
feels four feet (4') would be sufficient if it is install
properly; and he will so instruct the resident there.
The Council agreed with Engineer Keogh. Marlene Manson,
a lady in the audience, mentioned the sidewalk should be
five feet (5') for the handicapped. Mayor Jacobs said
that this was discussed by the Council several years ago
to have all sidewalks five feet (5'), but no action was
taken.
Attorney Coffman announced the Council will adjourn after
the regular meeting into executive session for about ten
minutes to discuss personnel matters.
Administrator McClure explained to the Council the result
of the recently released 1980 Census were considerably
lower than what our utility records indicate. The Censu
figures show a population count of 5,200 for Moab City.
Our figures indicate approximately 7,000 people. Admin-
istrator McClure said according to the Census Bureau, the
discrepancy was probably due to the number of constructio
workers and temporary, seasonal workers. Administrator
McClure said he will submit a letter of protest, although
he does not think the Census Bureau will change the resul
of the census.
Administrator McClure mentioned a letter from the Grand
County Commissioners requesting two additional applicants
be added to the list of applicants to be interviewed for
the Building Inspector position. Administrator McClure
indicated that the top four applicants had been chosen an
interviews were set-up for July 17, 1980. Councilman
Tomsic made the motion the Council keep with the hiring
procedure adopted by the Council, which would be to inter
view only the top four applicants, seconded by Councilman
Brewer, approved unanimously.
Administrator McClure referred a request from Mary Martin
Swim Pool Manager, to the Council, requesting the Moab
Swim Center be closed on Sundays. She stated that atten
dance is low; the ocst of operating is more than the in-
come. The Council feels the pool should be left open,
that it is a service to the community.
Administrator McClure received a letter stating that Moab
City will receive $1,926.00 from an appropriation of the
Utah Department of Community Development for Low -Income
Housing; this is a joint grant with the County.

Administrator McClure wanted the Council's opinion and au-
thorization to advertise for a new police officer, at a
salary of $1,125.00 per month, resulting from the 10%
Cost -of -living increase. This starting salary is con-
siderably higher than salaries in may Cities in the state
of Utah. He feels such a salary will enable the City
to acquire a well -qualified officer. Attorney Coffman
commented that under new laws, there will be more reports
and paperwork and someone with a high skill level would
be beneficial. Councilman Brewer made the motion the
new police officer be hired at a salary of $1,125.00 per
month, seconded by Councilman White, approved unanimously.
Administrator McClure also mentioned the City is now
accepting applications for a secretary in the police de-
partment. The deadline for both applicants, officer and
secretary, will be July 31, 1980.
Mrs. Virginia Johnson, a lady from the audience, mentioned
the need for curb and gutter in the Walnut Lane area to,ac-
comodate all of the irrigation water. Mayor Jacobs said
he was aware of the problem, but did not have any suggest-
ions for a solution.
Councilman White asked when a specila public meeting would
be held to appoint a new Council member to replace Jim
Wiseman. Mayor Jacobs and the Council arrived at a date
of Monday, July 28, 1980, at 4:00 P.M. in the afternoon,
in the Council Chambers.
Councilman Brewer inquired about Mike Steele and his zone
change at 478 West Fourth North. Councilman Brewer stated
that Mr. Steele went before the City Planning Commission
in April and wanted to know why he has not been scheduled
to go before the Council for final approval. Administrator
McClure explained to Councilman Brewer that in order to ad-
vertise forthezone change, the Zoning Administrator needs
a legal description of the property, which Mr. Steele has not
yet been able to acquire due to some technicalities re-
garding recording the'deed. Administrator McClure stated
that as soon as all of the legal technicalities were taken
care of, it would then be presented to the Council.
Councilman Tomsic asked the Mayor if Administrator McClure
had been sworn -in yet. Mayor Jacobs told her no; but he
will be the following day. Councilman Tomsic also inquired
about the memos to all department heads, rescinding all
Council members -of departmental responsibilities. He said
the memos had been writte but not distributed.
Councilman White made the motion the bills be paid as pre-
sented with three exceptions: Conely Company for $210.00,
Turf Equipment for $459.20 and Moab City Recreation Board
for $5,500.00. Seconded by Councilman Tomsic, approved
unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic moved the Council adjourn into executive
session at 9:43 P.M., seconded by Councilman Brewer, approved

City Administrator McClure discussed a letter he had re-

change. Administrator McClure informed Councilman Brewer
he is scheduled for a public hearing at the next Council
meeting on August 19, 1980, if he can acquire a legal des-
cription for the property. Councilman Brewer also inquired
about the puboic hearing for the' Walnut Lane/Arroyo Road
Closure. It will be resolved at the next Council meeting
on August 19, 1980.
Councilman Tomsic asked if a contract had been drawn up for
Veterinarian Dr. Hoffman, as discussed, to solidify an agree-
ment made in the previous meeting. Attorney Coffman will
draw up the contract.
councilman White mentioned how dry the trees around the
City looked and wondered if they were being watered. Nal
or Jacobs told Councilman White the City was spending app-
roximately $7,000.00 in overtime wages a year to water the

local merchants and -businesses could help and water the
tress occasionally.
Councilman Kelling told the Council and the audience she
was glad to be a part of the Moab City Council and thanked
them.
Mayor Jacobs expressed his disappointment in the County Co
mmisioners decision not to approve the new Building addi-
tion'to the Court House, for the City. Mayor Jacobs ask
for input from area residents on the problem. Councilma
White suggested the City 'sit tight' and wait for an alter
native. Councilman Tomsic disagreed, saying the City wil
use a back-up plan. There is a possibility the City coul
work out an agreement with the School District for land
near the Court House.
Building Inspector Dick Horstmann suggested the Mayor look
into a surge control device to control a power surge to pr
vent a pump burn out. Inspector Horstmann said they
were quite expensive.

traffic is already heavy due to the Helen M. Knight School,
the Swimming Pool and various churches. Attorney Coffman
recommended that the closure of Arroyo Road not be permanent,
as the City could loose the right^9£,,way to adjacent proms
perty owners. He said the loss of the right-of-way could
prove to be a problem if the City attempts to complete a
through road from First West to Fourth West, in the future.
Councilman Brewer made the motion Arroyo Road be temporarily
barricaded in two places; near the access road to the orchard
and near the end of the lanes of Walnut Lane Trailer Court;
to be done at the first part of next week, seconded by Coun-
cilman Kelling, approved unanimously.
Mike Steele appeared before the Council to discuss his pending
zone change. He has requested an area at 478 West Fourth
North be changed from an R-2 Zone to a C-2 Zone in order for
him to build a storage unit. A lengthy discussion followed
involving the Council and various members of the audience as
to the possibilities of what future owners might do with the
property if ti is re -zoned. Attorney Coffman told Mr. Steele
it will be necessary for_him_to go before the Board -of Adjust-
ments for a variance. At that time the Council requested
Attoney Coffman prepare an amendment to the text of the Zon-
ing Ordinance allowing storage units in an R-3 and R-4 Zone
as a condiitonal use. Attorney Coffman told Mr. Steele it
will be approximately thirty days in order for proper ad-
vertising procedure to take place. Councilman Peterson
moved to table Mr. Steele's zone change application until the
regular City Council meeting of September 16, 1980, seconded
by Councilman Brewer, approved unanimously.
Mrs. Jerrel Bessire appeared before the Council regarding the
numerous yeards in Evans Subdivision engulfed in weeds. She
wanted to know if the City had an ordinance restricting res-
idents to allow weeds to grow. She went on to say the weeds
are a fire hazard as they harbours pests and insects. Att-
orney Coffman informed Mrs. Bessire the City does not have
an ordinance as such, but they can have the yards cleaned
up at the residents expense. Attorney Coffman also told
her if she will come in and'file a formal complaint with
Mr. Horstmann, the Building Inspector and Zoning Administra-
tor, he can write a letter informing them to clean-up the
yard or the City will do it at their epense.
Attorney Coffman announced an executive session following
the regular meeting to discuss personnel matters. He also
mentioned a meeting with Attorney Harry Snow regarding action
taken by the Planning Commission concerning Mr. Delbert Oliver's
subdivision. The City Planning Commission recently met and
recommended a variance on the preliminary plat waiving sub-
division procedures in this case. City Administrator McClure
stated that this variance, waiving the following requirements
outlined in the Subdivision Ordinances, as not, in Administrator
McClure's estimation, the proper function of the Planning
Commission and did not follow established City Ordinances re-
garding subdivisions. Councilman Tomsic made the motion the
Council approve the preliminary plat of this subdivision
Councilman White seconded, approved unanimously.
Administrator McClure mentioned he was investigating a pur-
chase made by Lynn K. Christensen on July 28, 1980 a week
or so after her termination.
Administrator McClure asked to be released from the duties of
Planning Co-ordinator that he was appointed to in the pre-
vious Council meeting and also be released from monitoring
the activities of the Police Department. Mayor Jacobs told
Administrator McClure said he felt recent actions be the
Council totally renders him ineffective in monitoring that
department. He commented that he has attempted to enforce
some City rules and regulations, but has experienced pro-
blems with variations. Following a,discussion, Adminis-
trator McClure agreed to remain as Planning Coordinator and
monitoring the Police Department. The Council agreed that
polices should be followed. The Council also discussed ad-
vising the Planning Commission and other City boards that
Administrator McClure is available for consultation and ad-
vice, regarding polices and procedures as in the case of Mr.
Delbert Oliver.
Councilman Tomsic made a motion that only those items on
the scheduled agenda will be discussed by the Council,
seconded by Councilman Kelling, approved unanimously.
Councilman Tomsic went on to explain her motion, stating
that people wanting to appear at the City Council meetin
should contact the Administrative office, the Friday be-
fore the meeting by 10:00 A.M.
Mayor Jacobs mentioned a complaint he received about the
condition of the previous Building Inspector's yard and
also the fact that he starts his race cars at 6:00 A.M.
Building Inspector Horstmsnn said he will write a letter
concerning the debris in his yard.
The Council agreed to accept a low bid from Peterson Ford
for a 1980 Ford LTD. at $6,070.00 to be used by the Ad-
ministrative office. A second bid of $6,500.00 from Ma-
honey Chevrolet -Pontiac was rejected. Councilman Tomsic
made the motion to accept the low bid for the Ford, sec-
onded by Councilman White, approved uanimously. Council
man Peterson abstained from the vote.
Mayor Jacobs made an announcement that the City was nego-
tiating the purchase of the Hudson Building, owned by Tom
Stocks, as an alternative to an addition to the County
Court House. The City has budgeted $200,000 for an addi
tion to the County Court House. The cost of the Hudson
Building is about $175,000, which leaves money for some
minor re -modeling that would be required in order to_take
occupancy. The Police Department would remain in the
present building in the offices presently occupied by the
Utilities Department and Administrative Department. The
proposed Building contains three floors with approximatel
4,400 square feet of floor space. The Mayor stated that
there was ample parking facilities and it was near the ex
isting Court House, so it would be easily accessable for
the public. Attorney Coffman raised several questions re
garding OSHA requirements, and various requirements for
the handicapped; Administrator McClure said he had alread
started to make calls on those complications, but as yet,
he has been unable to learn anything. Councilman White
made the motion to authorize City Administrator McClure a
Mayor Jacobs to proceed with negotiations with Mr. Stocks
in acquiring the building, seconded by Councilman Brewer,
approved unanimously.
Councilman Peterson asked Attorney Coffman about a letter
written to a resident on Rosetree Lane regarding chickens
in his yard and also about a fence to be erected to ob-
scure the view of some old cars. Attorney Coffman told
the Council Mr. Mitchell had agreed to erect a fence, but
did not intend to remove the chickens, unless further pro
cedings dictate their removal. The problem is now a
matter of litigation, therefore, out of the hands of the
Council.
Councilman White made the motion the bills be paid as sub
mitted, seconded by Councilman Brewer, aroved unanimous
Administrator McClure commented that a memo had been dis-
tributed to all employees involved in purchasing, requiri
any and all items purchased be itemized and signed on the
invoice. Several invoices have been submitted without
an indication of what they are, or what department they
were for and who purchased them.
Councilman Tomsic moved for adjournment into executive
session at 10:58 P.M., seconded by Councilman Kelling, a
proved unanimously by roll -call vote.

A regular meeting of the Moab City Council was called to
order at 8:04 P.M. by Mayor Jacobs in_the City Council
Chambers with Councilmen White, Tomsic, Brewer and Kell-
ing in attendance. Councilman Peterson was absent. Al-
so in attendance were City Attorney Coffman„ City Adminis-
trator McClure, City Engineer Keogh, City/County Building
Inspector Horstmann, Police Chief Dalton, Board of Ad-
justments Chairman Dennis Wilberg, Secretary Johnson,
the media and twelve citizens.
The minutes of the August 19, 1980 meeting were approved
with'a correction on page three, third paragraph, the
second word from the margin should be 'abstain'. The
motion was made to accept the corrected minutes by Coun-
cilman Kelling, seconded by Councilman Brewer, approved
unanimously.
Don Cook was scheduled to appear before the Council re-
garding a nursing home; a man from the audience said that
Mr. Cook was out-of-town, and that D. L. Taylor would be
in shortly to talk to the Council.
Mayor Jacobs asked Mary Plumb to make her presentation as
she was next on the agenda. Ms. Plumb and Annette Kearl
s appeared before the Council in be half of the Kayakers of
the area. Ms. Plumb explained to the•Council that she
was a beginning Kayaker and had the opportunity to prac-
tice 'rolling' in the Kayak in the City Swimming Pool.
The ladies explained the procedure of rolling in a Kayak
ans stressed the importance of doing this 'roll' in a
familiar environment such as a swimming pool. Many qu-
estions were raised by the Council concerning the cleanli-
ness of the Kayaks and the effect the boats have on the
chemical balance of the water. Ms. Kearl told the Coun-
cil the boats will be washed thoroughly inside and out,
and the ends of the boats will be covered to protect a-
gainst any damage that may occur to the tiles in the pool.
Ms. Plumb and Ma. Kearl expressed their willingness to work
with the Mayor, Administrator and Council in any way.
Councilman Brewer questioned the ladies as to how many
participants there are and if they had an established or-
ganization. Ms. Kearl told Councilman Brewer there are
approximately ten individuals presently. Councilman
Tomsic suggested these individuals form an organization;
Councilman Tomsic also went on to suggest the group post
a bond to cover damages or added expenses incurred.
Councilman Tomsic made the motion to table the issue of
allowing Kayaks in the City Swimming Pool until the group
can be organized and further investigations can be made
by the City Administrator, seconded by Councilman Kelling,
approved' unanimously.
Hospital Board Chairman D. L. Taylor told the Council there
is need for a nursing home in Moab. In the hospital, there
is only room for about five extended -care patients, and
those beds are only for patients requiring skilled nursing
care. Mr. Taylor proposed that the City sell lots adja-
cent to the golf course and the proceeds go to a nursing
home near Allen Memorial Hospital rather than a recreation-
al complex. Preliminary costs for a nursing home facility
range from $55.00 per square foot to $85.00 per square foot.
Councilman Brewer inquired as to a survey being made to
determine if Moab has the need for such a facility. Kay
Hawks, Hospital Administrator, told the Council that a
thirty bed unit would be filled in leas than a year, and
a fifty bed unit would be filled within a year and a half
or two years. Councilman Tomsic asked if it would be
similiar to the nursing home in Blanding. Mr. Hawks told
her "yes". Mr. Hawks went on to say the County would do-
nate land adjacent to the Allen Memorial Hospital and
the Advanced Health Systems, who are operating the hos-
pital, would also operate the nursing home at no cost to the
City or the County. Mayor Jacobs explained to Mr. Taylor
and the other members of the hospital committee that a
public hearing would be held before any definite decisons
could be made. Mr. Taylor told the Mayor and the Council
105
he was aware a public hearing must be held before any de- Nurisng Home coned.
cisions could be made; but he wanted the Council to con-
sider this proposal.
Mr. Alfred Christensen appeared before the Council to ask Right-of-way vacated
for the seven foot (7') right-of-way to be waived so he for installation of
can install a four foot (4') sidewalk and fence next to sidewalk and fence on
the curb on his property at 306 West Fourth North. Afte-Fourth North.
some discussion, Board of Adjustments Chairman Dennis Wil-
berg suggested the Council appoint a committee to study
the possibility of vacating all or some of the City's riglt-
of ways. The Council agreed; the committee will be ap-
pointed by the first of next week, and should consist of
about five people. Councilman Tomsic made the motion to
grant Mr. Alfred Christensen permission to put in a four
foot (4') sidewalk, fence and plant on the City owned pro-
perty; and if there is any reason the fence has to be re-
moved, the property owner will move it at his expense,
seconded by Councilman White, approved unanimously.
Councilman Brewer made the motion the Council accept the Final approval of Del -
final plat for Delbert Oliver's Subdivision; acceptance bert Oliver's Sub -
granted upon the approval of the Chairman of the Planning division.
Commission and with the approval of Board of Adjustments
if necessary, seconded by Councilman Tomsic, approved un-
animoulsy.
Engineer Keogh mentioned he had called to the attention
of City Administrator McClure some concrete that looked
questionable. Engineer Keogh said it was the same prob-
lem as we had before. Building Inspector Horstmann and
Administrator McClure phoned an official at the State Of-
fices and conrete plant owners to try to resolve this pro
blem.
Attorney Coffman told the Council he, the Mayor and Admin
istrator had met with Mr. Tom Stocks concerning the pur-
chase of Tom Stocks' building. The preliminary paper-
work is in progress and a draft will probably be ready fo
the Council to review at the next regular Council meeting
Concrete problems.
Plans are progressing
for purchase of new
office building - Tom
Stocks' building.
Attorney Coffman told the Council the Condemnation suit Thompson -Oliver &
against Thompson -Oliver Enterprises and against Mi-Vida MiVida Enterprises
Enterprises had been filed and is scheduled to go to Court Suits go to court
on Monday, September 8, 1980. The suit was filed for tit Monday, Sept. 8, 1980.
immediate occupancy for the location of the water tank si e.
The authorization of a deposit of two checks has already
been made.
Attorney Coffman also suggested the possibility of studyi g Solar Zoning 0rdi-
a solar zoning ordinance, as there are a number of solar
units in the area. A new ordinance or modification woul
be to restrict certain objects being erected to obscure o
block a solar unit as a protection to the investor.
Attorney Coffman mentioned the City does not need to con-
tinue their subscription to a Defensive Driving Law Text
Supplement. He suggested the City offer the subscriptio
to one of the other Lawyers in the City.
Attorney Coffman also mentioned a letter that was discuss
in a previous meeting concerning City employees in Guard
Reserve Duty. They will not be required to use their
vacation time, The City is only liable to compensate
the employees for the difference between what the guard
duty pays and his City salary. Attorney Coffman made th
recommendation that Mayor Jacobs sign the statement.
Councilman Tomsic included that the City's Personnel Pol-
icies cover such procedures.
Attorney Coffman mentioned some law suits the County was
involved in, in which he, representing the County, filed
action against 220 defendants to declare that along with
various Bureau of Land Management 2' acre small tracts,
in the County there are certain right-of-ways for access
to utilities along those small tracts. Evidently, the
City still holds title to the Cemetary property, therefor
inadvertently, Attorney Coffman sued the City thinking th
cemetary property was owned by a cemetary district or the
County. Attorney Coffman suggested the City issue a qui
nonce to be studied.

sAttorney Coffman told the Council he has not had a chance
to look into the problem with the Heliport behind the Ra-
mada Inn. Mayor Jacobs told Attorney Coffman and the
Council that he has received several complaints concern-
ing this matter. Councilman Brewer mentioned a con-
versation he had with the gentlemen who was landing his
helicopter behind the Ramada; this gentlemen informed
Councilman Erewer he is moving his landing site out of
the City limits. Another Heliport in the same area
owned and operated by the ELM is licensed by the FAA and
follows established regulations. Councilman Tomsic
mentioned that the landing site is within the City limits
and therefore governed by City ordinances.
Administrator McClure also asked for suggestions from the
Council as to a way to stream -line the City Council
meetings. One thought Administrator McClure had would
be to get more information from the individual,or group
appearing before the Council in advance, such as a letter
or statement explaining their appearance; or when tele-
phoning the Administrative office, giving the Secretary sub-
stantial information so the Council is more aware of
what will transpire at the meeting. This would allow
the Council to prepare themselves more and a lot of un-
necessary discussion would be alleviated. Mayor Jacobs
suggested a form be printed which the -applicant fills
out or whe phoning in, the Secretary will fill out to
get more information.
Administrator McClure presented information on Joel P.
Hayward, the top applicant for position of Police Officer.
Upon approval from the Council he will be hired as the
new officer. He will be available to start work on
September 8, 1980. Mr. Hayward has mentioned to Ad-
ministrator McClure he might need to live in the County
if he can not find suitable lodging in the City becaube
of a medical problem with one of his children. Council-
man Tomsic made the motion to accept Joel P. Hayward as
Police Officer; employment to begin September 8, 1980 at
a salary of $1,125.00. An amendment to the motion
by Councilman Kelling concluded that Mr. Hayward be
allowed to live in the County, but as close to the City
limits as possible so he can respond to calls. Council-
man Tomsic approved and seconded the amendment made to
her original motion by Councilman Kelling, approved un-
animously.
Administrator McClure mentioned the Water/Sewer Budget
that he prepared for the Council's acceptance. This
year was the first year for such a budget, so a lot of
the figures are not totally accurate as they were not
programmed into the computer in the past; but will be
in the future, as soon as the new computer is installed.
Another request from an employee, Marget A. Snyder, was
presented by Administrator McClure, to move out of the,
City limits; reason being, to lessen a financial burden
due,to her husband working out of the area. The Council
discussed this matter, stating that City tax payers pay
higher taxes in order to pay City employees salaries;
and did not feel it just for City employees to live out-
side of the City limits. Councilman TOfisic made the
motion denying Marget A. Snyder to l;lve out of the City
limits and still retain her employment with the City.
Seconded by Councilman White, approved by majority vote;
Councilman Tomsic, Kelling and White voting aye; Council-
man Brewer voting nay. Administrator McClure stated
that he would,distribute a memo stating all City em-
ployees must live within the City limits.
Administrator McClure mentioned a conference being con-
ducted by the University of Colorado, in Boulder, Colora-
do, on noise control. The Council, Chief of Police Dal-
ton, Administrator McClure and the Mayor discussed this
issue to some extent. The Chief told the Council the
police force is concentrating heavily on noise control
such as the motorcycles that have modified exhaust systems.
Chief Dalton said the officers are impounding these vehic
as they are in violation of the law.
107
Councilman White, after reviewing the monthly employees r
port, questioned the termination of one employee. He was
told it was a dismissal within the six-month probation
period.
Councilman Kelling referred a question from a citizen want
ing to know when a certain fire plug would be painted.
Mayor Jacobs told her the crews are getting the crosswalks
and curb and gutters painted and it will soon be done.
Councilman Brewer stated after reviewing the Moab City
Code, Section 22-1-6: "acceptance of streets on a sub-
division plat by the City shall be for the purpose of
legal description only and not for automatic maintenance
or construction," that this would apply to Dennis Byrd, a
the Palisades Subdivision. Mayor Jacobs told Councilman
Brewer it was now a legal matter and in the hands of the
Attorney.
Mrs. Ellis Cook inquired about a letter to be written to
Mr. & Mrs. Art Mitchell regarding the hens and antique.2
cars_in their yard on Rosetree Lane. Mrs. Cook was told
Inspector Brundage, upon consulting with Attorney Coffman,
wrote the Mitchells a letter stating they were in violatio
of the Moab City Code, Section 27-2-2 and asked that the
hens be removed. In response to Inspector Brundage's let
ter, Mr. & Mrs. Mitchell wrote the City stating that they
would erect a fence around the cars and as for the hens
they declined to remove them at the present time, but the
will do so if evaluation dictates their removal. Inspec-
tor Horstmann will make an inspection and go from there.
Mayor Jacobs spoke briefly about a letter he received tod
(September 2, 1980), from the County Commissioners statin
that several sections of road being maintained by the Cou
actually belong to the City. According to the letter,
part of Fourth East, all of Hecla Subdivision, part of Fo
th North and part of Fifth West belong to the City; but
have been maintained by the County. The Commissioners
said they do not expect the City to reimburse them for mo
spent on the roads, unless they both collected road funds.
The Mayor said he plans to answer the letter the first of
next week.
Administrator McClure updated the Council on the progress
of the purchase of Tom Stocks' building. He also mentio
purchasing some of the furnishings, desks, tables, chairs
and also a new IBM typewriter. The City budgeted for a
new typewriter for the Water/Sewer Department. Adminis-
trator McClure mentioned the possibility of purchasing thi
one.
Councilman White made the motion to approve the bills as
submitted for payment, seconded by Councilman Tomsic, ap-
proved uanimously.
Councilman Brewer asked if spraying has been done for cat-
epillars, the Mayor replied, "yes".
Mr. John Merritt, from the audience, asked if any action
had been taken regarding a letter from his wife, Cathy Mer
ritt, concerning their drive -way approach in Hobbs Subdivi
sion. Administrator McClure explained to Mr. Merritt tha
a letter had been submitted to the Attorney for a legal op
inion as to what improvements are required by the developer
according to the subdivision ordinance, so we are awaiting
an answer from Attorney Coffman. Administrator McClure
told Mr. Merritt the Council granted Mr. Hobbs an exten-
sion on improvements. Mr. Hobbs will be notified when
the deadline has expired; at that time, Mr. Merritt can
appear before the Council to express his position.

Councilman Tomsic made the motion to table the third item
on the agenda, the proposed Building Permit fee changes,
until further investigations can be made, seconded by
Councilman White; approved unanimously.
Councilman Petersom questioned a letter from Building In-
spector/Zoning Administrator Horstmann regarding a zoning
violation by Art Mitchell. Administrator McClure told
the Council the letter written by Mr. Horstmann stated
that, after reviewing Section 27-2-2 of the Moab City Cod
and inspecting the premises, Mr. Mitchell is not in vio-
lation of the Moab City Code Zoning Ordinance. Council-
man Peterson feels if the Zoning Ordinance is vague an
amendment should be written and so moved that the City

it pertains to the keeping of livestock and foul in the
City limits and present the Council with some alterations
that will close some of the loop -holes in this section of
the zoning ordinance. Seconded by Councilman Tomsic.
Administrator McClure mentioned another aspect to be look

ing their support concerning the County's decision to wit
draw from the program at a public hearing to be held Sep-

Mr. Kurt Balling of 261 Tusher Street, appeared before th
Council for clarification of the zoning ordinance, regard
ing a problem with a neighbor's fence on Tusher Street.
The lots on Tusher SLreet are small and a lot of fences
and carports have been placed on the property lines. Mr
Balling's neighbor is building a dog run, (four foot (4')
high), with one side of the run being placed right on the
mutual property line making it impossible for Mr. Balling
to get in or out of his car without the neighbors' dogs
snapping at him. Mr. Balling presented a petition signe
by 22 of 29 residents protesting the dog run. Attorney
Coffman inquired as to the disposition of the dogs; Mr.
Balling said they were mean and did try to bite. Attor-
ney Coffman suggested Mr. Balling file a formal complaint
with the Animal Control Officer. The dog owner will the
be charged a fine. Councilman Peterson mentioned the
situation would be in violation of Section 16-1 and 16-2
"Nuisance" and "Public Nuisance" of the Moab City Code.

sibility it is to install the driveway approach, the de-
veloper or the contractor. He gave a history of events
that have taken place since April, 1980. At a Board of
Adjustments Meeting in August 1980, by unanimous vote,
the Board concurred it was the developers responsibility
(Frank Hobbs): At that time, Administrator McClure in-
formed Mr. Merritt that the Board, of Adjustments does not
have the authority to make such a decision. There was a
lengthy discussion as to what was included in the contrac
with the developer, Mr. Hobbs and the contractor, Mr. Foy.
Councilman White said he thought the contractor who ihsta l-
ed the driveway should also install the driveway apron.
Also, Mr. Hobbs, who was in attendance at the meeting, me
tioned getting appraisals of the cost of the sidewalk whi.
was included in the contract and wrote Mr. Merritt a chec.
for $127.00. Mr. Hobbs said he felt he -had met all of
