While employed with Templeton, Linke and Associates, Flanders served as resident engineer for County, water treatment plant additions in Draper, security improvements at the Utah State Prison, water tanks for Kearns and street improvements in South Salt Lake. 1 546-220- Mr. Flanders has been serving as resident engineer for Layton since January of 1984. Public Works Director Terry Coburn stated, We were very lucky to be able to hire Bill. He has a great deal of experience providing engineering services for public entities and he is No Hike Planned KAYSVILLE - Although Kaysville Citys budget will be up by about $300,000 this year, there are no plans for tax increases or higher electrical service rates. THAT GOOD word comes from Dean Steel, city recorder, the man responsible for finally hammering out those figures agreed to by the city council. A public hearing on the budget has been set at 6 p.m. for June A $1,723,810 general budget is planned, not including electricity, cemetery or redevelopment, he says. While up a hefty $250,000 from the current budget that goes through June 30, commercial and residential growth is picking up the extra funds. IN FACT, the mill levy should stay at 13.009, although that final figure may need adjustment after property tax assessments are received from the county. Mr. Steel terms that a pretty lean budget-mil- l levy package, especially considering the city operates its own library and electrical utility. Only one additional employee is being requested for the parks department. The city has seen its parks virtually double in size over the past five years while responsibility has grown to include the topic of discussion as recreation and the cemetery--itsel- f major expansion is contenplatcd there. The council is considering s new lots to the east of the present deopening up veloped area. THE CITY currently employs 34. The water utility budget is set at $387,840, up slightly from this years $360,425 and including a slight surplus of $2,160 while the sewer budget will see some $16,145 accumulated over expenses with a $276,855 budget planned. THE ELECTRICAL budget includes $2,748,750 in expenditures, up by less than $100,000 from the 1984-8budget, with a $36,250 surplus earmarked. -- 1 familiar with Laytons enginering needs.

USUALLY, summer jobs open to young people are in the unskilled and semiskilled occupations, Mr. Bailey says. The pay is usually minimum wage of $3.35 per hour, although some occupations such as construction laborers, short order cooks and general office clerks usually make more. Here are some of the jobs with better prospects for summer employment: amusement and recreation; child care attendants; construction laborers; ery drivers and helpers; facility workers; farm workers; fast food service workers; general office clerks and hotel and motel maids. LAYTON - David W. Adams, executive director of the Department of Community and Economic Development for the State of Utah, will be the featured speaker at the June 6 Chamber of Commerce luncheon to be held at Valley View Golf Course at noon. MR. ADAMS received a Bachelors Degree from Brigham Young University in I960 and held positions with General Motors Corporation, Charles Pfizer and Company, and Wallace Laboratories from I960 to 1968. During those years, Mr. Adams invested in older residential properties in the Salt Lake area, with an emphasis on remodeling and conversion to rental units. IN 1967, Mr. Adams entered the apartment construction and land e development field on a basis, constructing the Richmond Apartments, The Willows Apartment Village, and The Creekside Project. Fie additionally operated a multistate construction firm specializing in custom manufactured offices, institutional and commercial buildings, with projects constructed in most of the western states and Alaska. full-tim- HIS CLIENTS included the U.S. Postal Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Department of the Navy, The L.DS Church, and num- erous other private and gov- ernmental agencies.

Boastered by successful litigation, a positive environmental impact study from the Air Force, and its own efforts at hiring a district manager, the board of the Davis County Solid -- Waste Management and Energy Recovery District has authorized the purchase of 23.5 acres of land for the project. THE DECISION to purchase the property came during a special meeting last Wednesday, a meeting preceded by interviews with the five finalists for the district manager position. Chairman Robert Palmquist said the board has now narrowed that choice down to two finalists, with a decision likely to be made tonight. Weve been impressed with all five, but two emerged from the crowd and we are now doing a little background checking before making our decision, he said. He added that either of the two finalists stated they could be on board by July , which meets with district preferences. PURCHASE of the land is still being negotiated. Board members were informed that an appraiser of the property placed its value at about $1 1,750 an acre if access is available, but about half of that amount if access is not available. Mr. Palmquist said a clarification on that appraisal is now being asked for before actual purchase is made. To help accomplish that purchase, the district has also voted to remove from escrow approximately $6 million. Mr. Palmquist stated he hopes to have the money in an operating account by June 7, or shortly thereafter. He said that amount would allow the first two months of construction to begin. INITIAL construction efforts will involve a gravel access road to the plant site. The board was informed at an earlier meeting that the road will probably be finished about six w eeks after it is started. In a related matter, the U.S. Air Force late last week released findings of an environmental assessmennt report on the project prepared by the Seattle-base- d engineering and consulting firm handling the project. 1 Tills STUDY by R.W. Beck and Associates, arranged for by the district, was designed to meet an Air Force requirement. It concerned certain conditions the Air Force requires before entering into a contract with the district. Those conditions include providing steam to the base, granting a 7000 foot right of way for steam lines from the facility to the base steam plant, granting a 2500 foot right of way for an access road from State Route 193 to the facility, and disposal of reuseahle condensate. An Air Force spokesman said factors considered in the study included air quality, water quality, traffic, land use and aesthetics noise, residue disposal and sanitation. THE AIR I 7orce estimates that using steam produced by the burn plant could save them about $300,000 a year in fuel costs. The base uses steam for process requirements and space heating. The report is available for public inspection at the base. The board also discussed its budget for fiscal 1986. Mr. Palmquist explained that the district actually has four budgets, divided into areas of construction, operation and interest payment on bonds. He stated that actual costs for the next two ears of construction will probably run between S37 and $38 million. The balance of the $54 million w ill be used by the district to pay bond interest and cover maintenance costs. IN A matter related to the budget, the district has hired the accounting firm of Arthur Young and Associates in Salt L.ake City to do district books. The firm was chosen two weeks ago from several who had applied for the position. The project has been the subject of some controversy, particularly from residents in a subdivision adjacent to the construction site. That group filed a suit against the district, seeking an injunction to halt or at least delay construction. But a decision rendered in April by Second District Judge Douglas Cornaby denied that injunction, and the project has progressed rapidly ever since. MR. PALMQUIST has stated that several communities in Weber and Morgan counties have expressed interest in participating in the burn plant operation. District officials hope to have the construction completed and plant on line within 24 months after start. OTHERS are: kitchen helpers; landscape laborers; material handlers and dock workers; receptionists; sales clerks; short order cooks; sprinkling system installers; typists; waiters and waitresses and warehouse workers. Just over of the states jobs are filled by those in the 4 year old age in bracket, going up to nearly the summer. More than three in five of one-four- th 16-2- one-thir- d those seeking summer employment-abo- ut in 20,000 extra jobs are filled-cothe high school category, Mr. Bailey me says. success increases with age and experience, he emphasizes. The 4 year olds, totalling about 20,000, will land about 10,000 of the available jobs, joining an equal number from that age group who are unemployed. That means about a 25 percent success rate. That success ratio varies from about 30 percent for year olds and 20 percent for 16 year olds. More education and more work experience account for most of these differences, Mr. Bailey stresses. The remainingjobs will be taken by the older and more experienced workers in the labor force.
