Abandoned cars, cats concern Mendon council By
Hilary Ingoldsby MENDON -- Talk about towing abandoned cars, dealing with abandoned cats and thinking about a new sprinkler system for city parks took up most of the Mendon City Council meeting Thursday. Towing a few abandoned cars off of city property is a process that has to be worked out, said Councilwoman Tamera Jensen. No company will tow the cars without state's impound. Jensen said she will contact the Cache County Sheriff's Office to get the cars impounded and have them towed as soon as possible. Jensen also said that five cats had been abandoned by a former resident and must either be put to sleep or given away. "It will be quite expensive to put them down," she said. A proposal to start work on an underground sprinkler system for the town's parks and sport fields was presented by Councilman Bruce Anderson. The current sprinkler pipes are old and hard to move, and with a new system the fields could be watered more adequately especially during the fall, Anderson said. "It'll probably take about eight years to do it at about $10,000 a chunk," Anderson said. He would like to see work on the system start next spring, he said, but no decision was made. In other business, the council voted to require all existing individual lots within Mendon city limits, fronting 200 West on the west side from 300 North to 200 South, be five-eighths of an acre. It also gave suggestions for the placement of recycling bins, and suggested possible candidates to fill a vacancy on the planning and zoning commission. Councilman Joe Yonk announced the completion of the new Fire Department Hall. "We're there. The old one can be torn down. It turned out definitely better than what I anticipated," Yonk said. An open house will be at the Fire Hall on Oct. 13 from 1 to 6 p.m. with guided tours available.
