Major expressed his concern over servicing residents in the THE COUNCIL approved that one city building inspector could attend the Utah Association Plumbing Inspectors Conference in St. George, aware of this. Councilman Bonnemort felt the contractors were committed to the project and should be alowed to pursue it under the .old policy since he had begun the project under this policy. The superintendent jiaid Mr. Bates had been in the planning stage of his development also since early spring and this should also apply to him, if the council so determined, but realistically this could just not be done. Councilman Bonnemort thereupon .withdrew his motion until $UQh time as a definite line extension policy is approved by jbejcouncil. 'THERE FOLLOWED a dis- cussion on how front end moneys should be collected "and rebated, and Supt. Meacham reminded the council of the budget problem which would have to be solved (ip.connection with this money. Councilman David Sanders . then moved that Plat C of 'Cameron Estates Subdivision be approved subject to a rate being placed on the linen to the effect that the line extension policy is subject to change at any time, that construction of water and sewer lings can proceed, subject to proper bonding. This was seconded by Councilworqan Carol Page and passed unanimously. i JliE COUNCIL approved to send Kaysville Policy Officer Steve Knecht to a three day course at the Salt Lake Police Academy, so he may certify the rest of the police department on the special course. Mayor Elison noted the following places for voting in the November 6 election: Districts 2 and 7, Burton Elementary School: No. 1. 5 for further Sub- division. Cost of service to the area has been estimated at $77,000 for underground service within the subdivision plus $50,000 or possibly $60,000 for bringing service overhead from 50 West Street, depending on whether easements could be obtained for poles there. 1HERE WAS considerable discussion on whether costs e should be applied on a or per-lbasis; Mr. Oswald citing that other cities use the basis for their determination, plus a charge for paperwork for the city to maintain the agreement. Both Supt. Meacham and per-acr- per-ac- re Councilman Sanders expressed their concern over the line extension policy, which is yet to be determined by the city and Supt. Meacham also cited the budgetary problem on front moneys which will have to be solved internally. Councilman Sanders pointed out that both electric and water line extension policies are a prime concern of the council. KAYSVILLE .

SENDING A certified letter instead of regular letter was suggested as one means of notifying the alleged violator. That would provide proof of receipt of the letter. But would the cost and additional paperwork be worth it? Courts today are already overloaded. Caseloads are several times what they should be. Being served a warrant for arrest can be an embarrassing, even humiliating experience. Yet it happens to many. "- - the alleged FOR A few, the warrant is justified nffense is for an indictable misdemeanor or even a ,jr felony. But for most, the warrant for arrest is for a traffic violation, or less.

THE ONLY advantage, she noted, would be that a signed receipt would be proof that the receiver had gotten the letter. Otherwise, you can only assume that a letter not returned to the court was received and read by the recipient. Ms. Cash and former Bountiful Police Chief Dean O. Anderson had similar feelings about justice regarding persons who allegedly violate the law. JHE JP Court, as is customarily done, sent a letter to offender warning him that payment was overdue and i.r. jhe that he must pay his fine or a warrant for his arrest will be issued. The defendant never received that letter. A court clerk verified that the letter had not been received because it was returned to the court as an incorrect address for the recipient. WERE NOT out to make it hard on the public, we are serving the public, said Ms. Cash. Despite the large number of citations we handle, each is treated individually. She emphasized that a person unable to make payment within the designated time may call the court and make other arrangements within reason. THE "offender had since moved, but emphasizes that he was not trying to avoid prosecution." Where then does the responsibility lay?

The severe back and hip pain is the result of pressure caused by the disk on nerves leading out across the lower back into the hips and usually down one leg. Manipulation is a form of treatment by which the spinal segments are gently stretched or moved in a manner that relieves the pressure and allowed the slipped disk to go back in place. A slipped disk in the neck could result in pain extending into the shoulder and down the arm. THERE MUST be adjustments on both sides, he said. Offenders should have respect for the officer, but the officer should also show courtesy and respect to the alleged offender, regardless of the charge. But the question of how to reduce the number of warrants for arrest and the method police officers should follow to carry out these arrests is still unanswered.
