Councilman LeBaron, Thanks so much for talking to (my boy scout son) for his merit badge. We were both very interested in what you told us about some of the things that need to be done. We are avid users of the Recreation Department, and appreciate all the great things they offer us here. Thanks for watching over recreation in American Fork, and for taking time for a scout!

Councilmember LeBaron,
This was the second time you've disappointed me with your vote to disregard the safety
of our youth, the future of our city. You said you wanted to do what is best for the city.....the city is people.
Sincerely, (a citizen)
Note: The vote was to determine whether the city should negotiate with a contractor to deliver gravel from the upper reservoir, to use for a needed water line to extend from the west of 1120 N. Am. Fork to 900 West. The motion included an out clause, conditioned on a use permit and that further work on the area in question would be noticed for public comment. The vote did not pass 3-2, because the Council (3 votes carries and it is now a Council Decision) felt the permit was needed first and our "ducks needed to be put in a row first"). This citizen was concerned that this motion carrying may lead to the extension of 1120 N. to 600 W. in turn increasing traffic in front of the Jr. High and posing a risk to Jr. High Students.
My reply:
I'm sorry you feel that way. The vote to negotiate a contract with contractors to save the city $400,000+ had nothing to do with the safety of children. Remember 5 yrs ago I led the charge to not sell part of Mitchell Hollow to a developer. What was the first time I voted to disregard the safety of the children?
