JUNE 15. 1978 WEEKLY REFLEX Residents Protest ezonirag Bn Area By ROSELYN KIRK FARMINGTON that since - Over 100 residents from the Val Verda unincorporated area in Bountiful packed the county commission chambers Tuesday to protest the rezoning of a 64 acre area for the development of 84 units of four-plehousx ing. DAVIS County Commissioners took the matter under advisement although they first determined from a vote that only three of those in attendance favored the rezoning proposition which the Davis County Planning Commission had recommended for public hearing. Albert ole, county planner said that recommendation indicated that the planning commission was not necessarily opposed to the proposal. JAMES A. Rasmussen, a spokesman for the citizens group, said that 75 to 80 people in the area had met about a week ago and agreed to protest not only against the multiple housing unit proposed by Keith West at 2329 South 200 but also to make a stand against other multiple housing projects that were impacting the area. According to Dennis Stoll, 278 multiple units have been built in close proximity which he said impacted the area which was zoned as single-famil- y residential. West MR. RASMUSSEN said if constructed, the units would overload the existing access roads, resulting in danger to the children attending school and impact the schools and churches in the neighborhood. Residents asked that a master plan for the area be developed which would allow citizens to work with the county planning commission to control development. According to Mr. Cole, the county hopes to provide a comprehensive plan for the Val Verda area by next year. KEITH EAST said that the development plan had taken neighbors along the fence line into consideration. The family had owned the property for over 100 years and wanted to use the land for their best advantage, he said. According to Robert Chamberlain, a teacher at Boulton the School, Elementary children who walk along 200 West where there are no sidewalks, to attend Boulton School would be in danger due to heavy traffic problems that from the would be gent-ratemultiple housing.

MR. BURNINGHAM said that the salary settlement itself was resolved in about 20 percent of the negotiation time. The ten member team, five DEA members and five administrators of the Davis County School District, met 15 times in two or three hour sessions before the tentative agreement was reached on 16. May According to Mr. Burningham, this year of teacher negotiations throughout the whole state has been marked with an effort to define the problems more than in any year in the past. This has resulted in a comparatively peaceful year" state-wide- , with little name calling between other district associations and school board representatives which has marked negotiations in the districts in past years. 1H1S PROBLLM has never tharaiterized negotiations in Davis District teachers negotiations. which Mr. Burwas said ningham characterized this year by "another good round of problem solving. A lot of time is spent in developing an understanding of the other person's concerns, he said.

Mr. Burningham said that several teachers had been terminated this year and such an evaluation would have resulted in other teachers helping them to sharpen up their skills. During the negotiating process, the DEA team also asked for an increase in pay for substitute teachers, although Mr. Burningham said the DEA does not have the established right to represent substitute teachers. AT PRESENT, substitute teachers are paid $18 a day if they have no degree and $20 with a degree. The verbal agreement between the negotiating team is that pay will be raised so it is competitive with other districts, which would be about a 40 to 50 percent increase, according to Mr. Burningham. The team also resolved the issue of teacher preparation time, which will adjust the school hours so that teachers will be able to plan together one afternoon a week. Six schools in the district have implemented the plan on a trial basis this year and will be allowed to continue next year. Other schools wishing to initiate the program next year must ask for that option by Sept. 15, based on negotiations. MR. Burningham said the seven and three quarter percent salary increase for teachers was accepted by the DEA executive board prior to being presented to the general membership. He predicted that, several districts could settle higher. Granite School District, the largest m the state, agreed on an eight percent increase. The purpose of the negotiation system is "based on the ide-that you convince the other guy that your idea has merit," Mr. Burningham said.

By ROSELYN KIRK - A FARMINGTON document outlining the Com- munity Action Program (CAP) planning process to involve people has been accepted by the Federal Community Services Administration (CSA) in Denver which indicates that a CSA funding will be available during the federal fiscal year low-inco- beginning m October. CAP DIRECTOR, Carl Chappell, said two more plans must be submitted prior to Sept. 30. The CSA funding to CAP has been under question since Di:. 1977 when Davis County Commissioners received a letter stating they would be required to show cause why they should not lose their funding due to management problems. officials were notified they would receive funding through Sept. 30 while CSA officials monitored the preparation of future plans. The first ON APRIL 26, CAP document required was the plan, now accepted, which outlines a process for getting low income people involved in planning their own programs. Mr. Chappell said the CAP agency now has 45 days to submit a multi-yea- r plan, followed by another 45 day allowance to submit a yearly work plan. Neither of these plans should be difficult to have accepted, Mr. Chappell said, so officials are optimistic that federal funding will A, CAP and the Weatherization Program, Mr. Chappell said. Davis County pays $23,000 to the CAP program which supplies services to low income people. In other business commissioners heard a report from MR.

Mr. Chappell discussed plans for moving the CAP offices from a house on the courthouse lot which will ultimately be tom down to provide room for parking when the construction of the new courthouse is completed. He suggested the CAP office space now occupied by adult probation officers in Farmington. Davis County Commissioners told Mr. Chappell to a Utah Police Officer Association Convention in Brigham City.
