( THE FIRE department has already received a new quick attack vehicle costing $it),ooo and providing a 250 gallon pumping capacity. The truck comes from Emergency One of Oiala, l la. and boasts an body and modular construction, two definite pluses, says Fire Chief Lloyd Brown. It uses less fuel and is lighter," he says W e can set the chasis onto a new body and the insurance underwriters may require fire equipment to be able to change chasis." That isn't possible with most trucks. WITH THIS new truck and a larger 1,000 pumper expected any time, gallon-a-minut- e the chief hopes the city's insurance fire rating will improve. "We have a seven rating mercial business. The insurant e fire rates for them are extra heavy compared to those for rt xulenres. THE LARGER truck tost $70,000 and will provide the city with two modern firefighting vehicles for the first time. While Ihe depart-meis proud of us two voltage vehicles and went to great lengths to bring them up to standards, things will be a lot easier now. Backup will still be provided by a 1,000 gallon-a-minut1944 relay pumper. "We just couldn't part with that." e The chief is as happy about the quick delivery and financing as he is about the units themselves. They were ordered about 45 days ago and are being financed with no extra tax burden on residents. Money was borrowed from a surplus sewer fund to be paid back within four years funds.

THE ANSWER is that there are currently seven United Way agencies that are located tn Davis County. However, there are ilso many agencies located in Salt Lake and Weber Counties that serve numerous Davis County residents. One such agency which served over 500 Davis County residents last year is the Family Counseling Center located at 355 S. 600 E. in Salt Lake City. THE FAMILY Counseling Center is a private non-profi- t, United Way agency. The agency has been serving the residents of Utah for 66 years. n The Family Counseling Center serves the entire state, all segments of society and all ages, and treats all problems and conditions for which counseling is used as a treat THE WEEKLY REFLEX 197 "B'.'

THE CENTER has a staff of professional counselors which The FARMINGTON projected cost of cleaning up the oil spill which occurred Nov. 8 in the marshlands of Farmington Bay continues to spiral. AT LEAST one Amoco Pipeline Company spokesman places the figure at between $10,000 and $15,000 per day -which could result in a total cleanup bill of nearly $250,000. A large crew of men are working almost daily at the cleanup site, sloshing through near-freezin- 1 use t e 1 i e number. Ini includes qualified clinicians representing psychiatry, psychology and clinical social work. The cost of services provided by the Family Counseling Center is met by clients payments which vary according to family income and circumstances, a variety of third-partresources, and the United Way.

DAVIS COUNTYS insurance program will either be renewed with Blue Cross-BluShield or commissioners will sign with another plan in January, according to Commission Chairman C.E. (Bill) e Moss. Carl Zwahlen, representing the benefit plan, told the group that reserves after claims are paid are left with the county for investment or growth in an interest account. g HE SAID the county would probably realize a $52,000 reserve the first year, based on employee premiums of about $208,000. grb I jointly as county library and (or heddqu.it ters pnii essmg of the district's v-- t bunks until last year.

The County 1 ibrary Board has previously expressed interest in main- taining the facility and working out some agreement to buy the district's portion In proposing the $120,(100 figure, Mr. Hansen said, We figure our value is $150,000 and they say about $ 00, (XX). If we split that difference its $125,000, so maybe make an offer of $120,000 on the condition we can sell. This has been going on long enough," he said, referring to negotiations on what to do with the district share. The county needed a decision within several days to facilitate their budget plan. The County Commission is set to act on its 1979 budget Dec. LETTER, the commissioner said the county would pay the $103,000, which includes $100,000 for the building and the remainder for furnishings, over a three year period.

HE SAID another few days will be needed to finish the job. In addition to the cleanup costs, Amoco Pipeline Company also face the loss of some 2,500 barrels of crude oil, plus damages. The damages could be a lawsuit from the state for damage to the marshlands. Amoco JIM CHRISTI, maintenance supervisor, noted that the cleanup operation will be the big cost since the cost of oil loss will amount to only about $35,000, based on $14 per barrel for a spill of a maximum of 2,500 barrels. Amoco could also face a $5,000 fine from the U.S. Coast Guard for pollution of the water. Coast Guard officials admit the fine is small but note that the big penalty to Amoco will come in cleanup costs, grb i i rt i.inC id it if.

THE MUSEUM facility is 95 percent complete but $60,000 is lacking to complete the project and contractors are getting impatient. Museum backers are hoping to raise a sizeable portion of that amount through $100 a plate dinner Friday, but the council may need to step in with further aid until contributions can close the gap is being The museum financed by contributions and federal Bicentennial Commission Funds. THE HEARING was set for Dec. 21 and in the meantime, council members and City Manager Randall Heaps will be investigating means funds might be found to complete the project. Among options being considered are utilization of the citys $21, CRK) library fund or taking $30,000 from the city's unappropriated funds. A public hearing must be held before the council can take the latter move. MAYOR LEWIS G. Shields said another money possibility might be found in working through the state to underwrite funding at about four percent interest. The mayor will pursue that avenue along with Mr. Heaps, the council decided. Museum officials are working towards a July opening. tb |
