City Planner Scott Carter ree enmarked, Having a gineer will eliminate a great deal of confusion for us.

THAT prospect can be anything from frightening to just plain hard, at the outset, but Clearfield Job Service Manager Jack Bailey offers some tips on how to go about it while also outlining your best bets. Emphasizing summer jobs prospects are reasonably good, competition will be severe with these eight hints offered when looking for work: early to give yourself as much time as possible. -- Check for job leads with family, neighbors, school counselors and those at Job Service. -- PURSUE more than one job lead at a time. -- Be prepared to fill out applications. That means bringing along a list of references, complete with names, addresses and telephone numbers. If youve got previous job experience, be prepared to provide the employers name, address and dates you worked. It also helps to know your Social Security number. -- BEFORE GOING for an interview, familiarize yourself with the company what does and its product or service-ju- st it do? Present your skills and assets in their best, positive light. Arrive for the interview alone, and be there at least five minutes early. -- Dress cleanly and neatly. Dont smoke, chrew gum, or wear jeans. Leave transister radios and headphones at home. In the interview, be sure to speak clearly, avoid slang, and always be positive and enthusiastic. FLEXIBLE about working hours. summer jobs require working afterMany noons, evenings and weekends. -- BE Tips ng After the interview and applications have been completed, follow up by calling two or three days later to see if the positions are still available. 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; delivery drivers and helpers; facility workers; farm workers; fast food service workers; general office clerks and hotel and motel maids.

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 acies of land for the project. THE DECISION to purchase the pioperty came during a special meeting last Wednesday , a meeting preceded by interviews with the live -- he-loi- d finalists for the district manager position Chairman Robert Palmquist said the boaid 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 esciow 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 weeks after it is started. In a related matter, the U.S. Air Force late last week released findings of an env n onmental assessmennt report on the project prepared by the Seattle-base- d engineering and consulting firm handling the project. 1 I HE SI I I)Y by R.W. Beck and Associates, at ranged for by the district, was designed to meet an Air Force requirement. It concerned e certain conditions the Air I orce requires the district. with a contract into entering I hose conditions include providing steam to the base, granting a 7000 toot right ot way lot steam lines from the facility to the base steam plant, granting a 2500 foot right ol way tor an access road from State Route 193 to the facility, and disposal of reuscable condensate. An Air Force spokesman said (actors consi-deiein the study included an quality, water quality, tratfic. land use and aesthetics noise, residue disposal and sanitation. HE AIR I oice estimates that using steam produced by the burn plant could save them about 8300.000 a year in fuel costs. I he base uses steam for process requnements and space heating. The icpoit 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 years of construction will probably run between $37 and $38 million. The balance of the $54 million will be used by the district to pay bond interest and cover maintenance 1 costs. IN A matter related to the budget, the district has hned the accounting firm of Arthur Young and Associates in Salt Lake 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 gioup 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. PAI.MQIIST has stated that several communities in Weber and Morgan counties have expressed interest in participating in the burn plant opeiation. District officials hope to have the construction completed and plant on line within 24 months after start. h 16-2- one-thir- 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 4 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.

Public Works 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 w hile responsibility has grown to include the topic of discussion as recreation and the cemetery-itse- lf major expansion is contenplated there. The council is considering new lots to the east of the present deopening up 1,000-plu- s veloped area. THE CITY currently employs 34. The water utility budget is set at $387,840, up slightly from this year's $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.
