Mr. Miller stated that there were some questions involved in Item #2 and Item #3
and recommended that the City take action on the-other items at this time.
D. F. Romero, City Engineer, recommended that the Kimball Company bid on the GMC
dump truck be accepted as the Dodge truck deviated from the specifications. Frame
was fish plated instead of gloved and the wheels were a size other than those
specified. He recommended that the City Council accept the bid on the GMC truck whi
did meet specifications.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Shipsey, that the City
accept the bids as recommended by the Administrative Officer on all items except
Items #2 and #3. Motion carried.
R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, reported that on Items #2 and #3 the City
specifically called for bids for compact pick up trucks, primarily for the low
maintenance Ad up keep involved and the fact that these pick ups were used primaril
for transportation of personnel and not heavy duty equipment.
He continued that Standard Motors Company had bid on a standard 1/2 tone pick up wit
a smaller engine which met the minimum specifications, but was not what the City
Council had in mind when setting up the specifications, although the City Attorney
stated that the Standard Motors bid met the specifications and should be considered
by the City Council.
The Administrative Officer recommended that on that basis, the low bid of Items #2
and #3 be accepted.
J. W. Abraham, Director of Planning and Building, stated at the request of the
Administrative Officer, that he and Mr. Thompson, Water Superintendent, had inspecte
the GMC vehicle of a type bid on by°_- Standard Motors Company. He stated that this wa
a standard International pick up with a delux cab; but with the regular engine
replaced by a smaller engine which, 3n his opinion, was not economical and in the to
run would prove to be expensive in its operation!
Carl Hysen, Ford dealer, stated that the word "compact" in the bid specifications wa
the key and they had bid only on compact pick ups and not cut down standard pick up
trucks which any of the other bidders could have also bid on if it had not been for
the specifications of compact.
He asked that the City Council only consider bids meeting the specifications of
compact.
W. M. Houser, City Attorney, stated that while the International pick up truck meets
the minimum specifications, it does not, meet what the Council had in'mind in calling
for bids, as the Council's intention was for the City to acquire design compact
pick up trucks and not under powered standard pick ups.
Mr. Houser continued that the City Council had the right to take the'bid that met
the specifications as intended by the City Council.
On motion of Councilman Miller, seconded by Councilman Shipsey, that the bid of
Hysen- Johnson Ford in Items #2 and #3 be accepted as this is what the City intended
when calling for bids.

The City Clerk then read a letter dated November 30, 1962, from D. F. Romero, City
Engineer, regarding the sidewalk situation at 124 Highland Drive, (property of
J. Barry Smith).
Dr. J. Barry Smith appeared before the City Council protesting the inclusion of his
' parcel under this program as the City at one time had the right to have the sidewalks
placed when the adjacent properties were improved and subdivided, and does not believ
that he should now be required to put in sidewalks as he believes that it would cost
him between $3,000 and $4,000 to put in a retainer wall in addition to the required
sidewalks.
Councilman Miller stated that the present Council has embarked on a program to place
curb,gutter and sidewalks throughout the City upon the urging of citizens and the PTA
groups-.:and once started, he does not believe that any property should be'excepted
from this program as it is being followed on a plan suggested by a citizen's cd®ittei
and approved by the City Council.
Mr. Raymond Vincent, 415 Patricia Drive, appeared before the City Council protesting
the inclusion•of his property on this program under the 1911 Act as the entire tract
in which his property exists has over 100 houses which do not have sidewalks and just
because one lot in the adjoining tract has sidewalks, he has to place'siiewalks, whit]
no•one else in the tract has to do.
He further stated that he did not object primarily to the installation of sidewalks,
but did object to being singled out when the balance of the tract does not have
sidewalks and apparently cannot be forced to install them.
Councilman Graves explained that only under the provisions of the 1911 Act could the
City require sidewalks to be installed and only under the condition that 50% of adjoii
ing properties are improved.
' He continued that these recommendations were made by a citizen's committee urging that
the City improve all streets with sidewalks for use by pedestrians.
Councilman Miller stated that he and Councilman Graves are going to meet with
representatives from the Quintana P. T. A. in an attempt to have the P. T. A. spear
head a drive to have all the property in the second MacMillan Tract improved with
sidewalks. He then explained the City's procedure in allowing the cost of improvemen
to be carried for three (3) years by the City at a low rate of interest.
Mayor Davidson stated that this program was initiated for the safety of-pedestrians,
particularly children walking to and from school. Also, the City should consider the
requiring of only the minimum type of improvement of each property.
He also suggested that possibly the parking could be discontinued in front of 124
Highland Drive and allow pedestrians to walk in the street area in front of this
property.
Councilman Shipsey stated that if this project at 124 Highland Drive'was going to cost
the property owner $3,000 to $4,000 and was primarily for the use of school children,
then he believed that the Quintana School should contribute by placing'sidewalks on
the school property fronting Highland Drive in order to help protect the children
going to and from the school.
Mr. Houser, City Attorney, explained the definition of "block" as pertaining to the
1911 Act.
Dr. Smith stated again that he objected on the basis that his property had been
exempted from the subdivision requirement in the past and this present Council now
had changed this and included him under the 1911 Act.
On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Miller, that a four (4) foot
integral sidewalk be allowed to be placed in front of 124 Highland Drive'in order to
help reduce the cost of the sidewalk to the property owner. Motion not carried on
the following roll call vote:
AYES: B. L. Graves, Jr., Donald Q. Miller
NOES: Clay P. Davidson, Gerald W. Shipsey
ABSENT: Miss Margaret McNeil

Councilman Shipsey suggested that the City defer action on this problem at 124
Highland Drive until the School District has had the opportunity to contribute to the
placement of sidewalks on the Quintana School Highland Drive frontage-.
Dr. Middleton appeared before the City Council as a citizen and former School
District member and stated that the School District does not have any money for
construction of sidewalks at this time.
On motion of Councilman Shipsey, seconded by Mayor Davidson, that J. Barry Smith:,s
objection be held over for Council's consideration for two (2)'meetings. Motion
not carried on the following roll call vote: ,
AYES: Clay P. Davidson, Gerald W. Shipsey
NOES: R. L. Graves, Jr., Donald Q. Miller
ABSENT: Miss Margaret McNeil
Mr. John Cook, 1292 Sydney Street, appeared before the City Council and objected to
being included in this program as his property faces three (3) streets and believes
that he is being unjustly treated in this matter.
Mr. Harvey.Reinhardt, 1284 Sydney Street,. objected to being included under the 1911
Act as he does not believe the requirement of a block as there are nine (9) residents
on this block and four have sidewalks and five do not have sidewalks and he does not
believe that this comprises 50% or more.
Mr. Cook stated that presently he has a hedge on three (3) sides of his property
which would have to be moved in order for the sidewalk to be placed and which, he
claimed, will reduce the value of his property as this will expose property to three
(3) street frontages.
Councilman Graves explained the recommendation to the City Council of the Council
appointed committee which was appointed to study the sidewalk problem in the City
and to make recommendations to the City Council to implement and encourage the
installation of sidewalks throughout the City.
Councilman Graves then briefly explained the recommendations of the Citizen's
Committee which was to place sidewalks were as follows: (See August 24, 1962, sidewa
report) -'
Councilman Graves continued that all trees removed for placement of sidewalks will
be replaced by the City.
Mr. Cook asked that the City Council look into these matters very carefully before
ordering this type of work done by the tax payers because of the hardships involved
and further that he could not afford to improve the sidewalk on Reba, Sydney and
Augusta Streets.
After discussion of the City Council there was a motion of Councilman Graves, seconde
by Councilman Miller, that the City would advance money for any property owner who
wished to improve his property with sidewalks, curb or gutter anywhere in the City,
limited to residential properties only. Motion carried.
Mr. Scott, 296 Warren Way, questioned the matter of being required to place sidewalks
on one side of his property as no one else in the tract has sidewalks or is to replac
sidewalks. He questioned his being picked out without anyone else in the tract being
required to put in sidewalks.
On motion of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Miller, that the City
Council delay action to allow the Council to look into the protestors problem and
to take action at the December 17, 1962 meeting. Motion carried.
11. At this time the representatives of the Sierra Vista Hospital and the Chiurch of the
Latter Day Saints appeared before .-the Council regarding the acceptance by the City of
the street known as Deseret Street.
Mr. Romero, City Engineer, presented the following brief history regarding this stree
Deseret Place was built to City standards several years ago, but had never been
formally accepted by the City., A previous City Council-had determined that it would
accept a fully improved street, including sidewalks, on the northerly side of Deseret
Street, and would accept only to the back of curb around the.bulb and on the southerl
side. He explained that:•this was done because the property owners did not wish to
install concrete sidewalk around the bulb and on the southerly side, but that the
-7-
i
1
Council in turn had not wished to accept any portion of a street which had not
been constructed'to City standards. .
Mr. Romero explained that the applicants engineer had never described the property
to be deeded as a street and, therefore, the City had never accepted the street
although a previous Council had agreed to do so.
Richard F. Harris, Attorney representing Sierra Vista.Hospital, appeared before the
City Council and explained the background of the.development ' of this street by the
church and the hospital. He explained that the original discussion with the City,
the hospital had enlarged the street right of way at the'City's request and as no oni
faces on this cul de sac street except the hospital, church and the Stenner Family,
whose property is under option to the hospital, he believes that the street should
be accepted in its present condition by the City.
Further, he stated that while the official minutes of the City do not show it, a
former Council agreed to accept the street if certain conditions were met by the
hospital and church, which he stated have been met, and urged that the City respect
the original commitment by a former Council.
Dr. J. Barry Smith, representing the Sierra Vista Hospital, stated that-he was a
member of the City Council at the.time that the Council agreed to accept the street
for maintenance as it presently exists and further stated this action was taken by
the Council;sitting•in official session, but, unfortunatly, this action was not
shown in the minutes.
Mr. R. Harris stated that at no time had the hospital believed that the City would
not accept this street as they had complied with each and every request of the City
for acceptance and had they known that the City was now going to require additional
conditions before acceptance, they would not have gone to the expense of placing
the street-in - its present condition.
On a motion.of Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Shipsey, that the City
accept the maintenance on the full street width where the sidewalks are installed
and improvements to the back of curbs where no sidewalks are installed as there is nc
need for sidewalks at this time. If at any.time new additions.to the hospital or
church are made, then sidewalks will be placed in accordance with the City ordinance
and the land to be deeded to the City for sidewalk area at no cost to the City,
subject-to an agreement to be prepared by the City Attorney in regards to future
development. Motion carried.

Z. R. D. Miller, Administrative Officer, reported to the City Council on the Bissell
parcel being purchased by the City for Parking Lot No. 7; that the former owner
had offered to demolish the property at no cost.to the City.
Mr. Houser, City Attorney, stated that this would depend on the situation when the
City calls for bids and also that a private citizen who did not hold a valid license
for demolishing buildings might cause complications in the bidding.

design a parking lot so the Little Mill adobe building could be retained for use
by the public..
