By ROSELYN KIRK Residents living at 750 East Mutton Hollow Road will wait another week to see if the county can legally participate in putting in a road in that unincorporated residential area between Kaysville and Layton. RESIDENTS say that a week isnt long to wait when compared to the two years they have already been waiting. Thirteen residents met in county commission chambers to decide whether to form an improvement district to get the project completed. VIVIAN Carver, 1458 North 750 East, said people living on the street have waited since the sewer was installed two years ago to persuade those living on the street to share in the costs. At present William J. Wright, 824 East Mutton Hollow Road, is the only resident who refuses to participate in the cost. Another property owner Eugene Perkins said he was opposed also, but had previously signed a legal document in favor of the project. K MR. WRIGHT said he would be willing to go along with road costs, but cannot afford to pay the $800 cost for the curb and gutter that is required by county zoning. He said the curb and gutter would not 4 Two Davis High School students won first place in the Plymouth troubleshooting contest. Winners are, to r, Jeff Parrish, R.

JOHNSON said she was not requesting that the Council on Aging take over the program, she felt some responsibility since 20 of those currently receiving service are over 55. If either the Council on Aging or Community Action Program (CAP), administered by Carl Chappell, agree to take over the Homemaker Program, they will need additional personnel for administration, they said. COMMISSIONER Glen Flint said he opposes the concept. People shouldnt go to an agency for that kind of service. They should take care of their own family. But, as Mrs. Johnson pointed out, if the county doesnt the agree' to administer program, the State Division of Family Services will contract with another agency outside of the county. The services will continue to be provided. DFS wants to contract the services out by July 1 and so there is some urgency in the matter, Mrs. Johnson said. She asked the commissioners for a decision this week. The private contracting service which has been supplying the service to the county went bankrupt and the program reverted back to DFS. seven PRESENTLY employees are trained in the county to teach housekeeping skills. They are paid $3 an hour. Mrs. Johnson suggested these employees be retained if the commissioner determines to turn the service over to a county agency. About $13,000 has been invested in training. commissioners County delayed a decision on the matter until they talk further with Mr. Chappell and consider other alternatives. encourage talented students to become automobile mechanics.

Mary Bowring visited the meeting and congratulated the city on the increased work being done at the Kaysville City Cemetery, but still felt they should have a full time sexton. The matter of damaged headstones was brought up again. The possibility of requiring more cement around stones was discussed, but Mr. Bott concrete stated they put on these which was more than ample, as driveways only have 4 normally. Mr. Bott ask to make an appointment with Councilwoman Buchanan to discuss other matters at the cemetery in the future and was so arranged. 5-- 6 MRS. CARR and Dorothy Hare met with the council to solicit advertising in the North Davis Directory and ask that a map on Kaysville be updated if needed. The council approved the updating the map if necessary, but the city does not participate in the advertising. Ron Zollinger, Stephen Whitesides and others met with the council to request that the 4 zone East of Main The Street be rezoned to council decided they should define the exact boundaries in question and then return to the Planning Board for a firm recommendation. R-- R-- Ann COUNCILWOMAN Buchanan reported that other cemeteries feel that stones are the responsibility of the family except where damage is due to negligence of employees, in which case the city insurance covers it. Councilwoman Buchanan stated that Farmington's insurance even covers van- dalism. It was suggested the city check this out with their insurance company. MR. BOTT stated it appeared that Mrs. Sally stone that has been damaged, appeared to have been damaged by a sharp blow and ask if the city used planks to protect the area around the digger when digging graves and Superintendent Max Major assured them they did and pointed out at the time of a funeral also. Hig-ginso- MR. LES Derbyshire and Mr. Stayner accompanied by Dr. Jensen presented another plan for their Professional Center Development showing a standard full width street along their south property line connecting with 500 North and reported that the Davis Farm Co-o- p had agreed to donate property for their half of the street. Mr. Derbyshire and Mr. Stayner further stated that they would pave, curb and gutter, sidewalk their half of the street which they now will cost about $15,000. THE COUNCIL questioned whether or not the Co-o- p Resident Requests That Property Be Cleaned Up Fred Kennedy, a Clearfield resident addressied the Clearfield City Council Tuesday night with a petition containing 88 names he has gathered. MR. KENNEDY and the citizens that signed the petition feel that the vacant lot located at approximately 600 South East has been the scene of many incidents in the last few months. have people Many complained about the poor upkeep of the area and of the abundance of juveniles using 800-100- 0 the area for undesirable reasons. HE ALSO questioned the police dept, about releasing information about crimes within the city to the public. It was suggested by the council to contact the owner of the property and ask him to have it cleaned end kept up, and also to give a certain period of time in which this was to be done. MAYOR ROSS Sanders and also Lt. Daren Green of the Clearfield Police Dept, commented on the situation of the police giving out information saying that it hampers their investigations if too much information is leaked out. Lt. Green also stated that they feel a need to protect the victims of certain crimes who because of circumstances wish to remain anonymous and not have all the facts revealed. mnm increase the property value since he plans e to use the plot for agriculture. County planner Albert Cole said, although county Attorney Milton Hess couldnt be present, he advised that the citizens agree on the improvements rather than forming a road improvement district. Mr. Cole estimated that the cost of forming a district would be at least $2,000 and could cost as much as $4,000 for advertising and legal costs. would be willing to do the same on the other half and Mr. Stayner stated he did not know, but didnt feel his development should stand this The council pointed out that they could not accept half a street and the city does not for streets complete developers. Ann Councilwoman Buchanan moved that Mr. Derbyshire and Mr. Stayner further contact the p and if they will submit to the city that they will give the property and curb and gutter, sidewalk and pave their half of this street, the council approved the plan as submitted at this time. This was passed unanimously by the Co-o- RESIDENTS had considered forming the district since this would legally force reluctant residents to pay for the project. When calculators came out and it was determined that the cost of forming the sewer district outweighed the benefits. County planners and commissioners determined that, based on the cost of potential contractors, it would cost residents about $2,000 to put in curbs and gutter and pay for the paved road in that area. They said the cost Would be about $20 a foot if the work were contracted out. COMMISSIONER Glen Flint said he would meet with County Surveyor Glen By ROSELYN KIRK Housing needs for the First District Juvenile Court in Farmington are so severe, that the Utah State Court REGARDS to the sewer line to this development, Councilman Gerald Purdy advised that he would have something further on it this week and suggest Mr. Stayner contact him later. Marshal Larkins Lyle reported that one of his officers had caught the clerk at the Saver Station selling a 17 year old boy beer and he had-ha- d complaints from parents and others in the past to this effect and recommended their beer license be revoked. He also felt that part of the problem was the fact that their young clerks were afraid of not being in with the crowd and were easily persuaded. court administrator, said. MR. MCNAMARA told Davis County Commissioners that both the county and the state have the responsibility to supply that facility. Judge Roland Anderson, Juvenile Administrative Court Judge, suggested that, while commissioners are waiting to determine if there will be room to house the court in the proposed court house addition, they be allowed to trade courtroom facilities with the County Precinct Court. Court administrators Joe Tite, Mr. McNamara and Judge Anderson toured the Precinct Court facilities, now housed in the basement of the county court house with the McNamara, state juvenile COUNCILMAN Dee Sanders reported that he had received a call from the owner and he was also willing to do anything necessary to prevent this from happening again, if they were given a second chance. Marshal Larkins reported that he had been told that the Circle K clerks had also been selling beer to minors even after their last warning. COUNCILWOMAN Ann Buchanan moved that the Saver Station and Circle K owners and Management be advised that this serve as a warning and if it occurs again their license will be revoked without doubt. The council passed unanimously. Pros and cons of the water regulations passed by the council last meeting were discussed with citizens in the was sold. NEITHER MR. Wright nor the residents thought this was a reasonable alternative, even though it would be cheaper than footing the bill to form the road improvement district. Mr. Cole said that, something should be done as a paved road is needed in the area. He said also that the subdivision would never have been allowed under present subdivision ordinances. We wouldnt have allowed the houses there without a road, he said. The houses were constructed prior to the passage of that ordinance. RESIDENTS questioned whether the road had been dedicated to the county, but Commissioner Flint said, no road can be dedicated unless it is built according to county specifications and holds up for a year. If these conditions are followed, the county will accept the dedicated road. Once the county accepts a road, it agrees to maintain it. This road, which is graveled, has not been accepted by the county, he said. RESIDENTS have held two meetings to resolve the problem during the last year, but have not been able to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. They fear that road construction costs will continue to rise if the problem is not resolved. Commissioner Flint said he will get the figures and put together costs. The group will meet again at 4 p.m. on Tuesday to make another attempt at solving the problem. Juvenile Court System council. FURTHER the county attorney advised that there is nothing in the law that prevents minors, working as clerks, to dispense beer in original containers for consumption, off the premises. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Stauffer who were present, stated that they instructed their clerks to always check I D. if there was any doubt of age, but they had to rely on young help, because they couldnt afford to pay adult wages. COMMISSIONER Flint asked Mr. Wright if he would agree to pay for the curb and gutter if the county participated in the project. Mr. Wright said the money was not available and he did not plan to sell the property. Residents were asked if they would be willing to absorb the cost for Mr. Wrights curb and gutter costs, if he would agree to repay them when the property More Space Needed In System has listed expanded space in that facility as a first John need, priority WITH Austin and County Attorney Milton Hess to determine whether the county could legally build the road. He estimated that the county could do it for about half the cost, if that option is open. He asked that residents meet back with the county on Tuesday to learn whether the county could build the road. Mr. Cole said the county could not put in the curb and gutter as they do not have the equipment available. commissioners. Precinct Court Judge John Stewart said he would look over the present juvenile court building at 88 South Highway 106 in Farmington and see if trading facilities was a reasonable alternative. JUDGE ANDERSON said the present juvenile court facilities are the poorest in audience and Councilman Gerald Purdy advised that the the state. He argued that the business of the court is important because it changes attitudes. These are your kinds." Representatives said a waiting room is crucial in both the temporary and per- manent court facility. Juveniles must wait with parents and talk to probation officers in the hall while waiting to be admitted to the courtroom. Seven people, including the intake and clerical staff, must be housed in the court facility. Mr. McNamara said if the change could be agreed upon, the west end of the Precinct Courtroom could be partitioned off with a soundproof wall and used as a waiting room. IN DISCUSSING the alternatives for a court facility in the future, juvenile court administrators asked about space in the second floor of the proposed court house. Commissioner Glen Flint said the county should know whether their grant request for court house construction has been approved in about a month. The grant application, submitted for funds from the Economic Development Administration (EDA), requested $1.25 million for expanding the present facility. THE GRANT was turned down during the first funding period, but was when both houses of Congress to began procedures authorize an additional four billion dollars for local public official notices were being mailed the following day. works THE COUNCIL authorized that Mayor Glen Cundall and Councilman Henry Scheuller to attend the special conference May 25 in Salt Lake City on obtaining Federal Grants. week. would mean that money to complete the upper floor, requested by the court, would not be available until much later. MR. McNAMARA said the court is also considering commissioning a private contractor to construct a facility on a lease purchase agreement. In view of this possibility, he said they have sent out feelers to see what property near the court house is available for purchase. He said the last session of the legislature appropriated be used for building construction, but admitted this would only be a drop in the bucket when the court is faced with the actual construction money needed. Court administrators had earlier suggested to the commissioners that they advance money to the county to complete facilities on the second level.
