Town officials discuss bookmobile, meet the candidates events

By Linda Petersen
Cedar Fort — Town officials have received notice from Utah County that the county will no longer be supplementing the cost of the countywide bookmobile. New rates for the bookmobile will be $8,400/year for a regular three-hour stop in Cedar Fort.

Mayor Howard Anderson and town council members discussed various options for reducing the cost at their Sept. 19 meeting. Anderson said about three-quarters of those that use the bookmobile are school children and suggested sending a letter to the Alpine School District asking for some help. He also suggested that the town have the bookmobile cut back to a two-hour stop with the town paying one-fourth of the cost.

At the same meeting, council members discussed the format for upcoming candidate debates.

Anderson reported that after the previous council meeting where it was suggested that Rep. Mark Roberts write the questions that would be asked of the candidates he had received feedback from residents indicating they would prefer to ask their own questions.

Anderson and the council then discussed the fairest way for questions to be gathered. Most council members favored having a box people could put their questions in. The council also decided to have two meet the candidate nights, one for the mayoral candidate and a second for the council candidates at the community center. Dates were discussed but not finalized at this meeting.

At the same meeting the council approved a water connection for Shantelle Cleverly, outbuilding permits for Carolyn Cook and Josh Watterson, a carport building permit for Howard Anderson and a the commercial business license application for Taras Lojik, "TLW Auto" contingent on the town receiving a letter from Junction Market indicating the applicant is leasing the property from them. Lojik said he intends to operate a small used car lot on the property.
