During his time on the council he said it has been effective in adopting goals and objectives for the trial court system and implementing them. A major change in the trial court system in Utah was the establishment of a circuit court system. The judicial council had worked for its adoption, and in 1978 it became a reality, Judge Swan said reform of the courts was necessary to remove the courts from city control where they were becoming a revenue producing section of city government. He cited automobiles as the start of the downfall for the judicial system in the United States. They provided a host of traffic problems, he said. As the problems grew the judicial systems became bogged down with the workloads. This is what led to the establishment of the city or traffic courts in order to relieve the case load on the court systems. No invention has brought the volume of cases that just the automobile did, he said. Once the traffic courts had been established under city control the revenue issue became a concern and d the need for a system became evident. Judge Swans term will expire on Dec. 31, and he will be replaced by 4th Circuit Judge Douglas L. Cornaby of Layton. Judge Swan is hoping the state court system will call upon his services and said that was a major part of his -decision to retire at this time. He said that in Utah only one judge is being actively called upon to serve in the senior judge assignment program at this time, and he hopes he will be j asked to serve in that capacity.

J Optimism was the underlying tone as Hinkley told DECA members and -members of the chamber that the American economic system is getting back on its feet again, v He pointed out that the stock markets recent upswing is an indication that the economy is getting better. He said the market is going up, mot because of inflated dollars, but because of productive dollars.

J Jfe believes the new administration -will solve many of the economic problems the country has been ex. periencing. , He went on to say that too much government regulation has been habilitating to the country. A the restructured tax system, elimination of double taxation that now legists on dividends, and the elimination of; taxes on interest would make the country's economy much stronger, he said. I He said that after World War II, the ;Upited States rebuilt Germany, and Japan. Those countries, he said, are mow using the dollars that rebuilt their country to compete with the United States on the world market. I He is not against free trade, he said, Roy City will be going to him by developers interested in the areas west of Roy City. Their major concern was what the citys plans are for sewer and water service and whether the city plans on doing anything in the near future. Kirkwood told the council that Roy City has filed a plan with the state in which theyve shown an interest in annexing 2,980 acres in the areas to the west. He said the developers had come to him because of this annexation plan and were willing to work with the city in . order to build in these areas. North Davis Sewer District had told the developers that they could only handle the sewage from developments in that area if Roy City would manage the pump stations that would be needed in order to get the sewage carried to a point where it could connect with a larger sewer line near 6000 West. The question Kirkwood presented to the council concerns the sewer line pump stations and their management. district had made it clear the only way they would take the sewage was if it went through Roys system because the city has the He said the sewer monitering capabilities to handle it. Kirkwood said the county would have to be involved in the decision the city reaches because of several factors. He said if Roy city decides to go ahead and provide the services in the areas to the west they will need some type of agreement with the county on setting up a special improvement district. He said that without this agreement the only alternative to laying a sewer system would be spot development with septic tanks, but eventually Roy will be faced with the same problems. He said with the use of septic tanks they could be facing a problem with spot developments also. "We need the most cost effective approach and we wont have the money right away to support a major development, he said. City Attorney Roger S. Dutson also told the council the agreement with the county, and possibly annexation of the land was necessary before they could consider establishing a special improvement district to handle the costs of the services in that area. He told them that after the first of the year would be a good time with the new commissioners coming into office, to talk with the Weber County Com mission and find out how they feel about development in that area. Dutson also discussed the problem the city has run into with the recent annexation of 188 acres located in the area west of Roy. He said he has been informed that the Hooper Water District has appealed to the State Supreme court a recent decision allowing the annexation to occur. The Hooper Water District filed a suit when Roy City annexed the 188 acres located at 4800 South and Midland Drive and the people filed to withdraw from the Hooper Water District. A ruling by 2nd District Court Judge Ronald O. Hyde said that Roys annexation was proper and upheld the right of the citizens to withdraw from the water district. is healthy.
