He said further that he had nothing against the Davis School District. Howard Stephenson, UTA staff member, was contacted Tuesday morning. He wrote the press release although it was released under Executive Vice President Jack Olsons name. Mr. Stephenson said the board had taken action in a meeting last week allowing local taxpayers to act according to their own wishes on particular issues. HE DID not say a formal board vote had been taken on the Davis School vote, however. A letter was sent to the 120 Davis members asking their feelings on the election and Mr. Stephenson said about 50 percent responded. He could not supply an accurate count, however, and was not able to give an exact tally of those responding as to who was for or against the election. And while he said he would compile the data before press deadline, he could not be reached later for comment. A STATEMENT in the Utah Taxpayer, published by the UTA, said taxpayers in Davis County are mad as hell about the school districts mill voted proposal for a 3.00 be held to election leeway Thursday, Oct. 2. When questioned as to statement backing for such a to Mr. Stephenson was unable if county any, say how many, taxpayers had such feelings. ON HANDLING of the election preparations, the press release said further, According to Utah law, election clerks are supposed to be impartial in matters connected with balloting. We believe this is a clear case of electioneering by the school district clerk. That statement was attributed to the taxpayer group but Mr. Stephenson said the release and that statement-werprepared by the paid staff. SCHOOLS CLERK Roger dines said a pamphlet urging support for the leeway had been mailed with six absentee ballot applications but noted, Approval By MARK D. MICKELSEN One of the secretaries slipped them in. They went out to six people and we stopped it. She just thought the material would be helpful. It (the pamphlet mailing) wasnt approved by anyone here, he emphasized. TAX consultant Vernon Carr of Bountiful said, I suspect its a matter of interpretation (of state law). The law says there can be no campaigning within 100 feet of the polls. have suggested to the board (schools) that they not do it. It had been only six appliI cations. Any time you work with the official election process it should be neutral, he said, tb CLEARFIELD - The Clearfield City Council has approved a contract change with the North Davis Sewer District which will add an additional 75 cents onto most resident sewer fees. EMPHASIZING that the rate increase is not the citys fault, City Manager Gayle Starks told an audience Tuesday night that theres no way to get around the change. He said Clearfield made their contract with the district in 1964. The charge for connections based on the gallonage of sewage was then $1.25 per month, he said. And now the district, worried that they will soon have to buy a new sewage digester to handle the tremen Of Sewer Increase dous growth in North Davis County, have decided to raise the fee to a $2 minimum. Ad Deadline: Friday Noon Mr. Starks told the council they would officially have to approve the addendum in order for the increase to take effect. He added that trailer houses will be included in the fee change, to take effect October 1st. THE DISTRICT feels it (increase) is a legitimate protection plan, Mr. Starks said, a raise needed just to break even. He said an Ogden account- Picture Deadline: Monday Noon ing firm told district officials that the fee increase is the best projected change effort, and the best way to keep the system on its feet. There is also a good chance, according to Starks, that if the district isnt able to acquire a federal grant for their proposed digester, another fee increase will be pushed onto Clearfield Clearfield City Council Tables Rezoning Issue In Lieu Of Info. By MARK D. MICKELSEN A propCLEARFIELD osal for a new country-styl- e store near the south end of Clearfield was refused by the city council last week until the planners give specific details of their rezoning request to the citys planning commission. they have to drive too far to any other local markets. Mr. Wolfley received initial approval from the planning commission earlier this month, but at Tuesdays council meeting the city fathers questioned the details of his plan. Part of the plan calls for a rezoning request, from A-- l to SC-a change which would 1, THE PROPERTY, owned by Monte Wolfley and located at 2398 South Main, has been adopted as a possible site for a new grocery facility to aid nearby residents who claim allow any grocery-typ- e or development. AN AREA near his property had already been set aside on the citys master plan for , similar development and the planning commission, in their recommendation, decided that a small change in the master plan moving the space to Wolf-ley- s property, would not be a problem. The councils questions came when no definite footage plans could be decided upon by the planners at the meeting. The rezoning request requires that the development be no larger than five acres, however, a, representative of the planning commission explained that a one acre space would not be spot zoning. This was another worry of the councilmen. THE COUNCIL asked that Wolfley and the development planners meet again with the planning commission to determine what sector of the property is to be rezoned. Another public hearing will be set up after the commissions recommendation is made public. No one at Tuesdays hearing complained about the zoning change and a representative for Wolfley assured the council that people in the area want the store, if only to save gas. citizens. OUR CHANCES of getting federal help are good, he added, explaining that sewage disposal on the local level is deemed an important project by most government institutions. Of the $4 fee being paid regularly by local residents, Mr. Starks said only $1.25 goes to the district. The rest goes to the city. SOME OF the citys outlying water lines are being used to wheel sewage through va- rious parts of Clearfield, Starks told the council. So, in retaliation for this city service, he informed the group he too will be asking for an increased fee, an increase the district will have to pay. room in an ftMin adJuioa added to the ongmal nine room buiMing, Flint call fur a 25 room school in place of the current 15 room facility. THE ORIGINAL building, including offices. ill be ratted on completion of the addition, anticipated for December 1981 completion. New offices would be constructed and a circular loading-unloadin- g drive area built in front of the Khool. The addition will be conn structed while Khool is in and district administration estimates say the projected space needs could be met for two or three years and noted that such a plan would fit ks-sio- into budget plans. ONE BOARD member, however, did not support the plan. Bruce Watkins, a Sunset resident who includes Clinton in his precinct, pushed instead for a new Khool and addition to Clinton Elementary at a cost of about $3.3 million. Possibly because of the de- pressed economic situation bids for construction projects have been lower from January-no- Mr. Watkins said, in- dicating he felt a school that would have cost $3 million (the new school projection) could be completed for $2.3 million. AND A previous plan presented to the board calling for 13 new rooms at Clinton Elementary at about a $1 million cost could be done more quickly, allowing more classes at lower cost, he added. But Assistant Supt. John S. White, who oversees buildings and grounds activities, said that while it would seem feasible to build half as many rooms at twice the speed that isnt possible. Its all right to be optimistic about the time (a building) can be delivered but I'm not (sure about it) considering the options. There are so many variables I think it is fairly realistic (to assume a December 81 opening). BOARD MEMBER Sheryl Allen of Bountiful questioned ability to spend $3.3 million for Clinton alone. If we could build all the elementary schools we need now we could save money but we cant. I really question putting all that money there when we have needs in other areas. I question putting all that money there since some other projects would have to be deferred, she said. (Continued On Page 2) |
