If we go into city-typ- e development then we need impact fees, the former county planner agreed. NO MATTER what type of subor divisions are allowed--larg- e small lots, "we should still plan for flood control and preserve the rights-of-wa- y for drainage, County Com. Harry Gerlach Sr. said. The commission also heard a request from Layton resident Natha-nia- l Johnson emphasizing that citys ongoing need, in his words, for a library. The city withdrew more than two years ago but the council has shown some signs of leaning towards voting to rejoin, or late. LEADERSHIP should come from this commission leading to resolving the issue, Mr. Johnson said, noting, taxpayers couldn't support (a new library) totally by themselves. Although as Com. Gerlach emphasized the commission had said itd build a library there when 10 percent growth was registered in a single year, Mr. Johnson emphasized lack of a specific date raised concern, and questioned the possibilities for such a growth year. COUNTERING that he felt such a year would be "right around the corner," Com.

THAT SOFTER approach won out over a moratorium on all building until the matter was decided requested by the planning commission. Although the county commissioners centered attention on Mutton Hollow between Layton and Kaysville, their lay counterparts on the planning commission have stressed the issue must be tackled countywide, to the point of suggesting a drainage plan be implemented. Several builders have requested permission to construct subdivisions in Mutton Hollow within the past four months, prompting discussion about what sort of safeguards are needed, drainage-wisSOME WOULD like to see the area remain as it is, with acre lots, County Planner Rick Mayfield told e. the commissioners Wednesday, adding others would like to see smaller lots that could be annexed later into Layton or Kaysville. Were at the point we think the whole area (of drainage) ought to be studied," he said further. We ought to do the same as the cities, former Clinton Mayor and now Com. Chairman Glen Saunders said. If we okay a subdivision, we should charge an impact fee for flood control. COM. HAROLD Tippetts, who has consistently reiterated county letting cities develop areas over the subdivision-typ- e county wherever possible, said he was a little hesitant to approve the moratorium, he asked, At interest where you can get away rather nicely with a system.

HOWEVER, THESE ponds are on private property and the greatest courtesy should be exercised in moving in and out of the to organize plans and earn money. On May 19 a parking lot sale was held at the American Savings in order to earn money to purchase playground equipment. The Recreation Committee wishes to thank Robert Bone for the many trees he donated for use in the Barton Ponds Park. Groundbreaking ceremonies are scheduled for this summer, np area to avoid damaging plants, crops, etc. THROUGH THE publics cooperation, it will help continue this park project by the Kaysville Recreation Committee and the owners of the property. He reminds the parents, that THE KAYSVILLE resident, who has headed the county's mental health program for the past decade, recently gained the post that will mean working directly with the board of directors. The agency brings together more than 2,000 community mental health professionals and advocates, largely in education-relate- d activities.

Subdivi- -- - IN 1977, things changed. He had to get a medical discharge because of back problems. Since that time, the road hasnt been easy. For more than two of those seven years he was out of any permanent job, other than odd jobs here and there, and often those were what he needed. LIFE STARTED looking a little brighter, about a month ago, though, as he started training in the residential living section of the Clearfield Job Corps. And although it's the graveyard shift and hard to adjust the old body around, Mr. Taylor calls the chance fantastic and looks to a future there, as a residential advisor. He was hired under the Emergency Veterans Job Training Act, passed last November by Congress. Administered locally by Bob Lowe, Veterans Coordinator, at the Clearfield Job Service, employers receive 50 percent salary reimbursement during the training program. For Mr. Taylor, that'll be about nine months. JOB SERVICE completes all the paperwork and background material, making it relatively simple for an employer to participate. So far, seven are employed under the program, including three at the Job Corps. One is training for a security job and another works as a clerk specialist trainee. Most employers still aren't aware of the new program but Mr. Lowes doing his best to spread the word. Job Corps Personnel Mana Assoc, to AS A POSITION comes up, if the Veteran is the more viable" candidate of those applying, he can be utilized, Mr. Lowe says. Personnel Rep. Kim McFarland also speaks highly of the program. "My experience with Veterans is that the military provides a lot of very helpful training experience. Most at one time have worked as managers. OFTEN PROSPECTIVE employers don't realize the sort of training and experience available in the military, Mr. Lowe emphasized, noting some of the Veterans hes worked with had overseen mammoth operations involving millions of dollars in equipment, for example. Mr. Taylor had his age and the lack of a college diploma working against him, but Ms. McFarland speaks positively of his efforts thus far, and emphasizes any paperwork involved is not a real problem." POSSIBLE training for jobs that could be considered includes positions in: an occupation in a growth industry or requiring the use of new technological skills or where labor demand exceeds supply. Training should last at least six months, before premanent employment and provide salaried vs. commissioned income. Further information is available by calling Mr. Lowe at 773-838- 0.

FARMINGTON -- - 30-3- Davis County. Anglo-Saxo- THATS THE bunch of houses along the side of Interstate 15 between Ogden and Salt Lake, isn't it? Layton--nolets see; that's somewhere around Ogden, isn't it? Bountiful-o- h, thats a suburb of Salt Lake City. You mean it's a different county? SUCH REACTIONS are far from unusual when the subject of the states smallest county, at only 268 square miles not counting water, is brought up. But times are changing. Part of that revolution is being forged through such efforts as the countys economic development division, coming out with a new, colorful packet that proclaims; Feel the Spirit of Davis County. GEARED PRIMARILY to tell the countys story to prospective new businesses, whether from elsewhere in the state or from thousands of miles away, the packet includes a brochure briefly describing the area, its lifestyle and location, published a couple years ago, and then focuses the right pouch on pull-o8' by sheets, breaking down the county's makeup into everything from its population and age distribution to employment and how many firms there are throughout the county. Davis County may not be San Franciscos China Town, but did you know there are about 160 Chinese living here? Or, did you know there were 2,200 people over the age of 75 within the county land-wis- e, four-col- ut 1 ses the 9 age group, totalling 16,630. By comparison, there were only 11,000 in the 4 age group. -- Davis County may be getting a more cosmopolitan look if it's still largely a white, area, you really search-b- ut statistics confirm. Of the 146,000-plu- s recorded at the last census, more than 95 percent were categorized as "white, with the next group, about .5 percent or 2,423, listing black. Spanish descent counted a few less, at 2,301. Only two other groups topped 700, with 715 Japanese and 781 Indians noted. There were 347 other and 338 classified as "not Spanish. Believe it or not, though, there were 158 Samoans, 274 Filipinos, 193 Koreans and 182 Vietnamese. There were also 45 Hawaiians, 43 Asian Indians and 19 Guamanians, plus six Eskimos. -- THE LABOR force-thwilling and wanting to work-grfrom 36,700 in 1970 to 68,562-- or about 45 percent of the population, up from just above 40 percent in 1970. Employment, meanwhile, stood at 49,509 in 1980, and dipped by nearly a thousand in 982 the latest figures available in the packet. Projections call for more than 100,000 working by the year 2005-- or more than double 5-- North County Editor or 1 in 1980? THESE AND other tidbits help tell a prospective employer what kind of environment hes considering. Of course, numbers cant begin to tell the story but are far better than a spot on a map between Ogden and Salt Lake. Its all part of an effort to draw new business while helping strengthen that foundation of mostly small businesses thats economic development officials stress. already As the county continues to grow by a fast pace, theres concern the tax base should catch up. meaning less dependence on residential property taxes and more business taxes, especially sales taxes, would help. SOME IN the know have said businesses have a faulty or incomplete picture of Davis County that might push them elsewhere. Thus the promotional push. Heres a look at some of that data that makes up the surroundings we spend our lives in: -- AS MIGHT be expected, the biggest age group, population-wiscenters tn the under fives, with 10,385 males and 9,832 females in the 1980 census. The next largest segment encompas e, n 1 ose ew 1 1980's. -- It's that Utah generally pays less than other out-b- ut not by as large a disparity as some might think. The average annual pay in 1982, nationally, was $16,461. Utahns, on average, earned a little under a thousand dollars less, at $15,686, or within 95 percent. It ranged from mining, where those in the state were above the national average by $1,000 at $28,852, to manufacturing, where Utahs nearly $2,000 less, at only $18,619. -- THE MOM AND pop" business is no stranger to Davis fortune the home of mammoth, County-hard- ly 500 firms.

A lone trio employs more than 500. -- While the most people are employed in the Clearfield-S- . Weber area, home of the Freeport Center and HAFB, at 22,094, or about 45 percent of the workforce, Bountiful comes in a strong second at 9,623 while Layton lists only 4,658 in 1982. Centerville accentuates its residential character with only 1,320 working well-know- n states, and the statistics in the packet bear that multi-nation- al 1 four-nin- one-thre- 100-24- 10-1- 9. there-t- he 250-49- ; ; ; lowest. -- BOUNTIFUL BOASTS the most employers, at 860, or well the countys total .while Layton is a distant second over one-thir- d Weber at 301 .
