Commissioner William Dub Lawrence, said the commission in closed executive session last week authorized county property manager Ralph Wilcox to negotiate with WyCal Pipeline Co. representatives in an effort to minimize the environmental impact of the pipeline if it cuts through 60 acres of county land. The county property is located just north of the Salt Lake County boundary and east of Interstate 15. WyCal has proposed to take the pipeline along the Wasatch Variation corridor, across Mueller Park, along the Bountiful foothills toward the gravel pits near North Salt Lake.

The center will officially bare its new title, Davis Applied Technology Center, this July. The new name more accurately describes what the center is all about, says spokeswoman Sheryl Allen. A vocational center is not an accurate perception of what we do, she said. We are technology oriented, focusing on a higher degree of training. , The center has used its current name since it was established in 1978 by the Utah State Legislature. Allen said the center had financial difficulties until the state took it over. (The state taking over)as the best thing that could have happened to us, she said.

According to an accelerated access plan presented to the Davis school board on May 1, students must be assured that they are not sacrificing any opportunities by moving from one program and location to another. The DATC has organized the plan for accelerated access, which is in place and ongoing, at the center for secondary students.

We have an obligation to train people for jobs and to be sensitive to the job market. Allen said a few programs have been discontinued because either job placement was not frequent enough in that particular area or the jobs students were placed in were jobs.
