  • Nephi City clean-up may return, council says

"The Nephi City clean-up will return", say Nephi City councilmen.

When that will happen is unsure though. Councilman Kent Park said that he had been approached by people who wanted the clean-up to come back. All council members felt that the clean-up did a lot for the beautification of the city and that it would eventually make a comeback.

The reason for the cancellation was reported to be abuse of the project by certain area citizens, usually individuals who expected the city to haul items that were not designated as approved clean-up items.

Randy McKnight, city administrator, also reported that 89 letters had been sent to individuals who had vacant lots that needed to be cleaned up for fire hazard reasons and such. Four people were contacted personally.

Out of the 89 letters, all complied except seven, and the city cleaned up those lots. All but two have paid the city for the clean-up services. Those two have been sent a second notice.
