Many of the book are geared more to younger populations, Council on Aging Director Alice Johnson said, eluding some childrens titles. St. Marks Gardens in Kaysville, it a senior housing facility, and The Meadows, a seniors project operated by the county housing authority, will also benefit by receivine books. IN OTHER business, the Councils board of directors agreed the federal cheese-butte- r commodity y program should be evaluated and possibly even passed on to another agency.

SHOULD WE let others do the commodity distribution," Mrs. Johnson asked, adding, its not our primary function. In fact, on the days its distributed, centers become beehives of activity as thousands of bricks of cheese are given out. Much of that work must be done by volunteers since staff have to continue operating regular center programs. Officials have cited continuation of the program, over the years, as a means to acquaint more with the senior centers, although in Clearfield the cheese is distributed in the library auditorium, meaning those recipients dont get actual contact with center activities or facilities. THE COMMUNITY Action Agency, housed in the county courthouse in Farmington, also distributes commodities to households the Saturday following senior center distribulow-inco- tion, Mr. Marion said. Senior centers dont have walk-i- n freezers and its been luck, he said, thats depleted supplies alleviating need for storage. Elementary Menus REGULATIONS for participation, among other facets, are continually changing, Mr. Marion said, noting for instance, that individuals could obtain cheese last month but itll be limited to households in November.

BLODGETT Clipper News Editor BOUNTIFUL -- - A proposal to form a special service district for policy making and bonding of a controversial garbage burn plant in Davis County was heatedly debated at a recent meeting of the Bay Area Refuse Disposal (BARD) board of directors. THE BOARD is comprised of mayors or representatives of the six Davis County communities from North Salt Lake to include Farmington and the adjacent unincorporated area of the county. Com. Harry Gerlach, who made the presentation, said the service district will only determine, by state statute, what can be done a board of directors is established and how its determined if a plant is to be built, where and who would build it. HE EMPHASIZED that protesters at a public hearing held earlier today (10 a.m. in the Commission Chambers) would determine if the proposed improvement district should provide necessary garbage disposal service, similar to special improvement water and sewer districts. But the big concerns facing Bountiful Mayor Dean S. Stahle and Centerville Mayor Neil L. Blackburn are (1) would the cities be locked into a agreement as members of the district; and (2) would their cities get fair representation (voting power) on the board of directors? had no more input than one vote, commented Mayor Stahle. A board would be too divided to provide much unity. Also, south Davis County communities would have to pay the cost of garbage delivery to the plant, where ever it might be built although a small pickup shelter probably would be provided at BARD for area residents to privately take their garbage for pickup and delivery to the plant, it was explained. BOUNTIFUL garbage pickup trucks may also use the shelter at BARD for delivery of residential garbage so that daily trips would not have to be made to the proposed burn plant. Com. Gerlach emphasized that cities could withdraw from the service district but only after financial obligations had been met. THIS MEANS that other communities would have to agree that the plant was operating at full capacity and there would be no additional financial burden to the remaining participants (cities) said Com, Gerlach. He said the purpose of the district is to bind the county into one uniform district with all paying a which fair share of the costs would be no more than the garbage - collection and disposal costs today. MAYOR STAHLE said he has deep bjas against special improvement districts and they should be used only as a last resort which this one is probably a last resort to obtain a burn plant. "Four communities previously opposed the burn plant concept and it appears to me that this is just another try to do things that were previously defeated. Bountiful presented the proposed developer with a list of conditions that must be met before Bountiful would accept the agreement. We think these conditions are justified and still want some answers direct from the developer, said Mayor Stahle. CENTERVILLE Mayor Neil Blackburn said his council is still (Katy-Segher- s) Tuesday, Sept. II, deep fried sauce. French fries buttered peas, hot rolls pink applesauce, brownies and milk.

He noted that there still is no definite site and its possible that in the future power derived from a burn plant could be used to supply industrial parks, new jail, or whatever. ar and Swiss. BOTH MAYORS said they opposed the burn plant as a private venture because they did not want to bind their cities to financial obligations for the next 20 years without an option to withdraw (from the plant agreement) so that they could pursue other options of garbage disposal. They also questioned representation on the board of directors because each community - regardless of size or population - would have an equal vote of one member per city. -- -- WED BE JUST as well off not participating in the district if we AS THE center enters its eighth year of operation, the staff is looking forward to serving parents in a wide variety of ways throughout the coming school year.

THATD MEAN not only Laytons returning to the county system that it left nearly three for years ago, but an about-fac- e its of Kaysville, a city long proud own service since inception 64 years ago. County Com. Chairman Glen Saunders expressed belief the well-wo- uld one-fourt- h THE ISSUE was discussed last week by the county library board and at the weekend, Com. Saunders said he had briefly discussed Kaysvilles situation with Mayor Gerald Purdy, indicating the mayor said hed take the matter to the city library board. The mayor reportedly asked for circulation figures and other data with any information. Noting Kaysvilles pride in their small library that shares space with other city offices in city hall, the citys been feeling a space crunch for several years although money's been tight, preventing any expansion. MAYOR PURDY said he'd evaluate and get back with the commissioner, Mr. Saunders said. The mayor couldn't be reached for comment. A letter from Deputy County Attorney Gerald Hess set the stage fordiscussion by the county library board, with that document indicating a board or county commission , cant bind another to a new facility in advance. THE ATTORNEY researched such a possibility after the board was approached last month by two Layton officials asking if a definite timetable could be set meaning construction could start within three years. A declaration of intent" supporting construction of a library when "sufficient funds" are accumulated could be prepared, acting as a bridge from one governing a new host of officials. to body LAYTONS BEEN levying a tax comparable to the county rate ex cluding Kaysville and setting that aside, figuring a library would be built either by rejoining the county or separately. Kaysville hasn't follow suit, continuing operation of their own facility. Emphasizing the commission's always supported a library in Layton area, Mr. Saunders said problems plague the county from the animal shelter, where he said a substantial commitment" is needed to upgrade facilities vs. a bandaid approach such as was used for the jail addition while a new jail is being considered heavily now vs. remodeling or expanding the existing facility. EVEN IF we wanted to commit capital improvement (construe- tion) money, we couldn't without some revamping of the state (tax- ing) statute. he continued, referring to the 106 percent of previous year's taxes that can be levied. That mandate drastically restricts the ability to proceed with any large project. he added. The Farmington headquarters, built 20 years ago. is considered overcrowded by staff and several options have been studied, includ- ing expansion, although it's restricted by lack of unused land. The facility houses more than 70.000 volumes, or twice the number in either branch, but is housed in less overall area, with relatively cramped patron reading areas. ", |
