By C. Jake Williams

HYDE PARK -- Rich Schaeffer, representing the Cache Child and Family Support Center, asked the Hyde Park City Council to adopt a proclamation making April Child Abuse Prevention Month. The council unanimously consented.

"This is a great program and Hyde Park is proud to be involved," said Mayor David Kooyman.

Schaeffer also announced the Race Against Child Abuse 5K, to be held April 12 in Wellsville. More information is available on CFSC's website.

In other business, the council voted to annex approximately 34 acres, three parcels, of industrial land into the city. The annexation passed without dissent. The land is bounded north to south by 4400 North and 3100 North and east to west by 200 West and 2400 West.

"The tax benefits are gonna be your main benefits to the city," said developer David James, who is also a planning and zoning commissioner for the city. "My goal is to add value to the land."

The council also accepted Resolution 2008-5, which aims to address possible future problems with municipal wastewater planning by unanimous vote.

"We have no problems with the sewage system right now," said Councilman Bryan Cox.

Hyde Park's next city council meeting has been moved from April 9 to Tuesday, April 8.
