Some meetings have been full day sessions. She credits the early settlement with the ability of negotiating team to settle at a point where further discussion would have ended in impasse. Mr. Burmngham said the 10 member 16 percent. DAVIS DISTRICT is the sixth district in the state to conclude negotiations and the first district along the Wasatch Front to reach agreement. negotiating team, including five school district administrators and five DEA representatives, "stayed away from personal power struggles The agreement, as ratified by the membership of the DEA at a meeting at Viewmont High School, calls for an additional lane change for teachers with training beyond a masters degree. After DEA President Daphne Aller and DEA Executive Secretary Dee Burmngham told the Davis School Board that 444 teachers had voted earlier that evening to accept the proposal, the board unanimously voted to accept the agreement THE AGREEMENT in professional services calls for a class size reduction and review policy, elementary education planning time and teacher involvement in the development of education policies. The areas resolved under the working conditions agreement specify that a second school telephone line will be approved for elementary schools and a travel reimbursement policy initiated.

STUDY UTAH COUNTIES By ROSELYN KIRK Davis County Commissioners dont want to hire a county fire marshal, but are unable to talk any agency into assuming the job. The marshal would see that all buildings in the unincorporated area of the county meet the fire code. SINCE MOST cities dont have fire inspectors, former Fire Marshal Ron Layton has been advising cities on fire inspection matters and inspecting for state fire code enforcement in cities. When Mr. Layton resigned as District Fire Warden hired jointly by the State Forestry Service and the County Commission for wildland fire protection, he also gave up the job of county fire marshal. He resigned to become a full time health inspector for the County Environmental Health Department. RON ZANINOV1CH was hired as the District Fire Warden and is paid jointly for the six month fire season from May 1 through Oct. 31. to But the according agreement with the State Forestry Service, Officer Zanmovich does not have the authority to authorize fire inspections inside the city, his superior Dave Dalrymple, Utah State Department of Forestry said. The fire warden is responsible for issuing burning permits in the unincorporated areas of the county. In an effort to resolve the problem earlier, the county had asked the County Planning Office to take over the responsibility. But County The state is interested in wildland fires and we dont have authority inside the cities, he said. The question of who will advise the cities on fire inspection is up for grabs. COMMISSIONER Planning Director Joseph Moore told commissioners he didnt think the county building inspectors could achieve that function. C.E. Moss said the county is considering plans to hire a fulltime fire marshal on Jan. L, but until that time they are looking for someone to take over the duties of the fire marshal. The Environmental Health Department, The Davis County Planning office and the Utah State Forestry Service all say it is out of their area of expertise. In the meantime, the cities continue to call former fire marshal Ron Layton for advice. Richard Harvey, Director of the Environmental Health Department, said these calls take so much of Mr. Laytons time he isn't able to function full time as a health employee. COMMISSIONER Glen Flint said the Commission will write letters to all the ci- ties advising them that fire personnel within their own cities will have to deal with fire inspection problems and fire prevention since the county no longer has an employee to advise the cities on these matters. Mr. Harvey questioned whether any of the cities have the expertise needed to provide this kind of advice. "The county has a county health department. Why dont they set up a fire department as well? NEIL SESSIONS, county building inspector, said, a whole new area of expertise is needed and building inspectors cant take on this area of responsibility. Mr. Moore pointed out that in the past Mr. Layton has provided cities with information on fire safety which the county planning office is not prepared to do. MR. LAYTON assisted cities in interpreting and enforcing the city and state fire codes, but he said that only the larger cities have fire codes and so enforcement is difficult. There is no county A proposal to allow a gravel pit operation near South Weber will be considered in a joint hearing of the Davis Commission and County Davis County Planning Commission on June 7 if the matter is not resolved first by an annexation proposal. SOUTH WEBER will meet city council meeting on May 24 to consider action on annexing 500 acres of land, in a including the site proposed for the gravel plant. Parsons Asphalt Products proposed the construction of an asphalt plant and crushing facility, in addition to a gravel pit excavation about nine months ago. The 70 acre plot west of Highway 89, southeast of the Canal is now a Weber-Davi- s part of the county. But if the annexation is approved, the land will be a part of South Weber. Parsons presently operates one gravel pit within the city boundaries. 100 About residents from South Weber appeared in county commission chambers last fall to protest the other plant near the city limits. Since that time, the matter has been in the negotiating state, awaiting the passage of a county excavation ordinance.

A ALTHOUGH the excavation ordinance has been presented to the planning commission in the first draft stage, the matter has not been approved by the planning commission. The ordinance cannot be adopted until it gains approval from the county commission. Joseph Moore, county planner, says he anticipates the planning commission will call for a public hearing on the ordinance before they decide to approve the document. After months of working through the problem, Parson's officials presented an excavation and reclamation plan to the planning commission which met the standards specified in the proposed excavation plan.

This is an increase of $545 over the beginning salary last year and a 6.23 percent increase. Teachers with a masters degree will receive a beginning salary of $10,560 and receive a maximum of $17,060 after teaching for 14 years. The beginning salary for teachers holding this degree is $620 over the salary negotiated last year. About 900 teachers hold bachelors degrees, while 350 are in the masters degree category. The remainder of the teachers are slotted into other classifications under the salary schedule. THE OTHER five districts in the state, which have concluded teacher negotiations, all settled below the mark agreed on for Davis teachers except Grand County where teachers were awarded a 7 percent increase. Salary increases m the other districts are: Morgan, 5 percent; Duchesne, 5.5 percent; Cache, 5.6 percent and Logan, Jamie Martens and David Long are two of Mrs. Alexea Stewart's fourth grade students at Kaysville Elementary School studying Utahs 29 counties.

Mrs. Aller reported to the board that at the ratification meeting at Viewmont, 155 teachers opposed settlement because they felt the salary increase was not adequate. Only 10 or 12 were vocal in their protest. She said, They were voicing their sense of frustration that teacher's salaries are not higher generally."
