A memorandum and copies of the city zoning ordinance and master plan will be submitted to Third District Court today (Thursday) in the next phase of the corrections facilities lawsuit. The memo, expected to be about pages, responds to legal arguments contained in a statement which attorneys for the State Department of Social Services submitted to the court prior to the opening of last weeks trial, said city law clerk Paul Morris. West Valley is seeking a preliminary injunction to halt construction of a maximum security youth corrections facility at Decker Lake and a halfway house at 2560 W. 2365 South. The lawsuit is against the Department of Social Services, which oversees corrections operations. Third District Court Judge Jay E. Banks, who heard verbal testimony last Monday, gave City Attorney Ron Greenhalgh until 5 p.m. today to answer the states response to the citys original complaint. City attorneys also will submit copies of the citys zoning ordinances and masterplan (adopted from the county at incorporation). Greenhalgh argued in the trial that the state should be required to comply with local zoning ordinances in selecting sites for corrections facilities. Assistant Attorney Generals Carlie Christensen and Douglas Richards then have until Tuesday to respond to new material in the city's memo, Morris noted. 10 40-pa- i v.v4 - . tions in Salt Lake County to County Council of Governments Friday.

A public hearing will be held tonight (Thursday) on whether this city should establish its own Housing AuthorityThe City Council will consider comments on the proposal, which entails breaking away from the County Housing Authority in January, as part of its regular session at 6 p.m. in City Hall, 2470 So. Redwood Road. The Housing Authority would be for providing responsible into low to assistance moderate come persons. Most of its initial duties would involve the distribution of low interest housing rehabilitation loans. That money is allocated from federal Community Development funds. City Manager John Newman has recommended the Housing Authority board not begin functioning until January, allowing time to understand the system. A city employe probably would start out as the agencys executive director to carry out board directives, he added. The council also is expected to approve an administrative code defining the roles and hierarchy of different officials in city government. During Tuesdays study session, the council decided to increase the bond insurance for the city finance director because that position requires him to handle funds just like the treasurer. The change would increase the premiums on the bond insurance for the finance director, currently Russ Sanderson, to about $500 per year, said City Recorder Kathy Grantham. five-memb- THE VOICE OF WEST VALLEY CITY UTAH Barker. Bill Stay, president of the SLCACC, presented the COG five friendship goes back nearly 35 years. Admittedly, as our age has advanced, 35 years doesnt seem quite so awesome as it once did. We raised children of approximately the same age although they also had both older and younger ones than ours. But - our interests were always so similar that we were attracted to and even the separation of a one-anoth- er thousand miles in places residence didnt dull our friendship. Somehow, though weve met in various places, including their home, they havent Mid-wester- n recommendations: - That a hold be put on annexations and incorporations in Salt Lake County until representation of the unincorporated county can be worked out. - That the COG resolve municipal policy boundary declarations in accordance with the policy of That COG work with SLCACC to inform unincorporated county residents of the consequences of options which are theirs: incorporation, annexation or remaining unincorporated.

Postal Service officials contend the centralized delivery areas will save the federal agency money, thus delaying needs to increase postage. In other matters, the commission will discuss the status of fruit and vegetable stands in the city. Last week, planning staffer Jared Campbell told the City Council that his office had received a complaint that two fruit stands operated by Walter Brock had been built in residential areas. A check verified that both fruit stands violated city ordinances because of a combination of size and location, Campbell said. But, several councilmen commented, Brock has operated fruit and vegetable stands in the city for years, providing a good service to the community. Hesitant to shut down Brocks operations, the council instructed the staff to begin looking into the matter in closer detail and to allow Brock's operations to continue intact this season. Thursdays discussion is the first phase of the review process, which probably will result in slight modification of the ordinance governing such stands. Two conditional use applications are before the board. Lee Foster is seeking approval for a day care center at 3996 So. 5600 West. In terstate Transmission is requesting approval for a transmission repair center at 2830 W. 3500 South. Two rezoning requests also are scheduled.

The deadline for completion of the study is Sept. 15. Cost of the study will be $10,760, according to special projects coordinator Jan Taylor. Two other bids considered by the division included one by Bill Callaghan of $4,600 which he said was based on the price he charged the county to do a study on Lake Valley City.

The field into which he walked in 56 is - a subdivision now and sos most of the surrounding area. Nobody lingers in our valley long without seeing the enormous hole in the ground that is Kenne-cott- s mine.

The Union Pacific station today is a cavernous house of echoes; virtually abandoned insofar as rail travel is concerned.

There were no masses of boatpulling vehicles headed out to Lake Powell or Flaming Gorge in those days, either. The dams were well underway, but the immense bodies of water hadnt yet accumulated and as a result, they were unknown recreational spots. The same could be said for Bear Lake, which was a little known bit of scenic grandeur in 56 and today is rapidly being transformed into a tourist attraction of great appeal. We drove to Park City one day in 56 to show them the old mining town. What an itll be to return there today!

Major hotels of todays Salt Lake City werent even being discussed -- the Hilton, TriArc, Little America, Marriott and Dunes, for example. And the remarkable thoroughfares which move valley traffic so swiftly these days - the free26 ways - were non-existe- years ago. For that matter -- - and perhaps one of the most surprising things of all - roughly half of the people you meet in our valley today werent even alive in 1956! Time certainly marches on. -- |
