"This afternoon I noticed Sunset Mayor SUNSET Norm Sant said Monday a building permit will be required of residents doing major construction jobs on their property, but for for minor repairs, like replacing a window, the permit is not necessary. THE COUNCIL has come under fire in recent weeks from BECAUSE of this, the city council long ago adopted a uniform building code which sets up certain priorities for the safety of not only the builder, but the city as well. Mayor Sant explained that if someone puts in a sprinkler system without the correct valving procedure, unfit water could leak into the culinary supply and threatened to throw rocks through the city councilmens windows, their purpose to see if the city fathers would buy a permit to replace their own windows. Mayor Sant is asking, however, that anyone who has Two The Davis BOUNTIFUL School District is considering two proposals that would add up to 15 rooms to Clinton Elemental y School and demolish the older portion. classrooms would be constructed west of the present addition along with a media center. That, with the six room ' MAYOR SANT said people have to judge what is or is not a major project. As for the fee for the permit, the charge he said will be calculated according to the work involved in the project. If it appears that we are out of line, the mayor said, something will be done to change the stipulations. But he said the fees are derived from a gen eral code, the code having been effective in the city for many years. HE SAID an analysis will be done in the city building department to determine if the current fees are sufficiently de- funding the activities of the Get Ads If youve got that set of snowtires you want to sell or a stereo youve been meaning to get rid off, come on down to and the place a want-aBUT TO save yourself extra worry and assure that it gets in, why not pay us a visit Thurs Mraa)iws addition added several years ago, would make for a 2 1 room school. That would be as large as many district schools and could meet projected needs, at least for new, the board was told. By TOM BUSSELBERG THE TWO proposals were I presented to the board during an emergency meeting last week following the teachers convention. Both would call for demolition of the older sec- tion but one would be more gradual and include use of the older section after $75,000 in revisions had been completed. Under the first plan, 15 new roundings attractive and does not want to discourage any improvements. But a lot of people, the mayor added, dont know how to make the improvements and still maintain endanger local residents. This was given as one example why the city has, for so long, required the permits. Though the city has clarified its stand on the building permit ordinance, the local building inspector still has the right to inspect a project if he believes it to be of some danger to the party or the community in general. house. their homes. One group : city encourages people to make their homes and sur- safety standards within the local citizens complaining that they shouldnt have to pay money to the city to improve - a question on whether or not they need a permit, call the city offices for advice. He said the THEN WE would demolish the old building and add offices, explained Assistant Superintendent John S. White. That would also include sidewalk repair and installation of a bus turnaround at the new entrance. There would be no need to interrupt school under such a plan, with a similar massive refurbishing done at West Bountiful Elementary School pre- viously, Superintendent Lawrence Welling said. THE SECOND proposal would include seven new rooms and a media center west of the current addition. A minimum of $75,000 in code violations in the old building (would have to be corrected), Dr. White said. The older portion could be demolished later and six rooms and offices added at that time. Administrators were to have informed Clinton residents of the proposals with the matter to be placed on the regular Sept. 2 school board meeting agenda. UNDER THE first plan, some 26,300 square feet would be added with total cost estimated at $1.5 million. Assuming a November bid date, the classroom portion could be ready for classes by August, partment. Until then, the In related aciton, the board set a Sept. 16 8 p.m. bid opening for an 1 1 room addition to the Cook School in Syracuse, bringing that school to 21 rooms and a media center. It will be a duplicate plan of the just opened East Layton Elementary School. one-tw- THE BOARD also heard a recommendation to add six classrooms to Laytons Lincoln Elementary School, a move that could mean elimination of Hilltop Elementary in Layton. Assistant Superintendent Gayle Stevenson said about 290 students attend Hilltop, an old school that was hastily constructed of cinderblock o dents will be relocated to neighboring school, he noted, noted. I think two portables will handle it very well. Presently there are 11 portables in the south end of the county and with completion of the new junior high (Mueller Park in Bountiful) we can move those to new sites. Mr. Stevenson THE PASTOR said he would like to buy the Pioneer School (when it is declared surplus) if he can get enough money but he said there are only seven "good" families contributing and he said the school would cost $200,000, Mrs. Douglass said.

Speaking of disposal of Hilltop, a school with an average 90 percent yearly turnover rate 2800 E. in Supt. Welling said, The board may want to seriously consider declaring that building surplus. I think the board should consider adding on to Lincoln rather than refurbishing Hilltop. THERE IS an advantage, where its appropriate, to build additions. I think one way to solve the capital outlay problem in the future will be to move away from the standard 4 room (schools) and r aybe think in terms of 28 AFTER SPENDING two weeks researching the law, Mr. Bailey concluded the referendum petition had been filed within 120 days and this was all the time necessary for a municipality referendum vote. He also concluded the establishment of a police de- partment was a legislative function since the police force was created and dissolved by council resolution and since the funding for a police force was handled by the city council. AFTER THE council decided to accept the petition and place the police question on the ballot, Mayor K. Delyn Yeates asked Gayle Cloke, representative of the citizens group that submitted the petition, if she had any second thoughts about the petition now that the Sheriffs Office had the chance to showt the East Layton citizens the type of services they could provide.
