It's amazing our public officials arc concerned about thi amount of misinformation disseminated against the Burn Plant This misinformation is a guilt complex targeted right at them. Your commissioners forced the Burn Plant on you, the citizens, by false information supported by some elected officials. Who is misinforming - w hen the facts are: . THEY TOLD the citizens there would be no risks, yet Bond Debt is $246 million without any guaranteed yearly steam revenue and only approximately 15,000 families involved for payback. This is not my idea of safe and sound indebtedness. They misquoted prices and inflated summer and mild weather revenues. When their advisor informs you they will receive $6.00 per thousand pounds of steam and the actual price is around $3.00 - thats a shopping economic difference. the PTA. The motion carried. Councilwoman Page pointed out that lines needed to be painted on Main Street and the council agreed to get it done. A portion of the council meeting was taken by Carolyn S. McNeil, general manager of Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems, to describe to city officials the situation with regard to building a power line to connect with St. George. This is the first step in UAMPS plan to interconnect with as many other systems as possible and to do their own transmitting. UTAH POWER and Light is opposing this action by UAMPS. and a battle is heating up. The purpose of Carolyn's explanation was to give Kaysville officials an overvie w of the situation and make sure they concurred with UAMPS position. Mayor Purdy commented that Kaysville's Power Company has been a tremendous asset to the city over the years, and expressed appreciation to UAMPS for protecting the interests of the city so well. Council members were in agreement on this matter. THE CITY BETTER LATE THAN... council also approved adoption of site plan review fees for developers building anything larger than a duplex.

Weber and Utah counties, according QG00GQ SUNDAY, the 18th, my mother was contacted by Bernice Smith and was told that she was concerned about how I would handle the press because of being younger. And also stated that if they followed the contract I would receive the crown. Why wouldnt they follow the contract? Wednesday evening the 21st, I had a message at home to call Bernice. I called her and she wanted to meet with my mother and I as soon as possible, and she said that she had very bad news for me. My mother at the time was not available, so a family member called Bernice. Bernice stressed that she had been in three days of meetings with the county auditor, county attorney and with points county commissioner. That there was a mix-uand names. That the auditor put my name with Lynette Owens points. Bernice was asked who found the error. She replied that Troy Thornton's wife, a pageant judge, had found the error and told Troy about it. Troy contacted Bernice. First of all. why were the ballots in the hands of Troys wife? She was not a CPA and had nothing to do with the pageant. To my knowledge the ballots are legal documents and should be under lock and key with the CPA, if not, they are in position to be altered. Isnt it odd that I'm supposed to be the new queen and they find this drastic mistake. p ANOTHER question, w hy wasnt the error found at the beginning of my reign as first attendant.

D.liTiOR t chat mm THE FURTHER we have looked into this matter, the more questions there are left unanswered, and I truly believe politics are involved. The pageant officials did not handle the pageant on a professional level. First of all, I was called and congratulated by Bernice Smith, pageant director, and was asked not to meet with the press for a few days. So my mother and I told Channel Four News that we were going to respect Davis Countys wishes and not meet with them at this time. I was interviewed by a radio station and Troy Thornton made the comment that the crown usually goes to the first runner-up- . I Thats odd.

STREET WORK was outlined to ORIGINALLY, the project was to solve Davis County solid waste problem. They are now soliciting Weber and Morgan County garbage, which proves it is not a county problem but only to solve the economics of the Burn Plant. They stated 500 tons was an absolute necessity and now with only approximately 200 tons available and only 60 percent of that burnable, it is pretty slim pickings. They promised if two cities did not participate there would be no Burn Plant, another broken promise and violation of citizens rights to be justly represented. A special district was originally organized for the purpose of Solid Waste evaluation and research. Commissioners gave cities the understanding they could drop out any time, yet before the Special District Board was even organized, Commissioners on television announced the Burn Plant would be constructed and site location, and cities found they could not get out. Commissioners methods were trickery and deceit, and dictorial process in place of citizens representation.

Areas of 500 and 600 North need repairs, as well as 100 West and a street in the Cemetery. City Engineer Lee Cammack described these plans for repair together with plans to overlay Main Street to prevent further deterioration. In a surprise move. Dale Haw- Dixie Cammack, of Kaysville, thought it was a little strange to receive a telephone call from the local postmaster. He said he had a postcard for the Cammacks with an address that they hadn't lived at for six years. The postcard was postmarked Aug. 7, 1976! It was mailed from Silver Dollar City, Mo., by Noelene Cammack, a daughter-in-law- . Ironically, Mr. and Mrs. Bill maK.es a auierence that 1 was a high school senior and the new queen is a college graduate. I was never formally contacted by the pageant officials that I was being replaced by Lynette Owens. We wanted to look into this further. and I My went to meet with Com. Harold Tippetts andfamily Com. Glen Saunders Friday afternoon, Aug. 23. We wanted to find some facts concerning the days of the meetings and who attended. We were told by Com. Tippetts that they met Monday, Aug. 19 in Salt Lake with Bernice Smith, Troy Thornton, Jerry Hess and John Aoki. It is not the same information Bernice Smith gave. We found that Com. Tippetts and Com. Saunders had no feelings of wrong doing and no compassion. COM. SAUNDERS handed us a news release which had been prepared to go to the press concerning the mix-uIt said that I had been contacted. Which I had not been officially contacted at the time. We were told by Com. Tippetts that they had already contacted Lynette Owens. Shouldn't I have been officially informed before the new queen. In reviewing the news release I noticed Carol Hobbs moved up to first attendant and they had not announced a second attendant. We were told by Com. Tippetts that there was only one auditor. But I understand that there should be two auditors. Who is the auditor? I wonder how e feels s about the since they were responsible for the mistake. p. he-sh- mix-up- FROM THE commissioners office we went to the counattorneys office to talk to Jerry Hess. When we first sat down in his office, he received a phone call from Com. Tippetts, what was said we don't know, but Jerry Hess said to the commissioner Theyre in here now. We preceded to ask Jerry if he attended a meeting on Monday the 19th in Salt Lake with Com. Tippetts, Bernice Smith Troy Thornton and John Aoki. He said that he was called down to meet with Bernice and the Commissioner to find out the legalities concerning this matter. He had not attended a meeting in Salt Lake with the commissioner as was stated. We asked Jerry Why did the Commissioner say that you were in a meeting with him in Salt Lake when you werent?" We said, Stories don't jive, and he The holy writ does not jive. Jerry phoned the commissioner to clarify but he was not available. Mother asked Jerry to not take the story to press to save me from humiliation, but Mr. Hess said it had to go to press. Its funny we respected their wishes, why dont they respect ours? This is why I doubt what has really gone on. I hope to get all my questions answered soon. How can the pageant director tell my mother that I did well in every area with the exception of being a touch weak in talent, and place at the bottom of 15. ty FELT IT a great honor to be first attendant, not caring was queen, and now Im nothing, but I would find it very hard to represent Davis County especially under these circumstances.
