A recount of the FARMINGTON ballote uied by Davis Council of Government members in a vote to award community block grant development funds has not changed the list of seven projects to receive funds.

Im going to recommend they look at their ballots and then let them decide what they want to do, said Sant. I dont think the majority will want to change their ballots, but if they do, then we might look at using another process. Sant noted the system funds have reverted to Kaysville City and its water project. This gives Kaysville an additional $91,000 in funds and brings its water projects grant up to approximately $180,000. Clarke Adams, chairman of the Lay-to- n downtown rehabilitation program, and Layton Councilwoman Ann Harris attended Tuesdays hearing. Layton clared ineligible because it did not meet federal guidelines. The committee was under the direction of Chris Beck of the community development division. The ballots were recounted by Davis County Planning Director Rick Mayfield; Mick villes water system improvements, Crandall, Wasatch Front Regional Clearfields flood control project, con- Council programs director, and COG struction of a public safety building in secretary Wilf Sommerkorn.

However, Hunt ordered a recount of ballots to clarify the original tabulations. After the recount results were announced, Adams said that Layton had found an additional 10 errors in the ballots and that the totals were not within 10 points of being right. Tempers flared when an angry Mayfield said, If were going to nitpick over single things, we might as well tear the whole thing up. Adams replied he was here to get the truth and the right answers. Youre trying to get the answer you want, responded Mayfield.
