Show Iffinnonimninif rFn Maayn Robert Durfee As a candiate for the office of mayor of Crantsville City, I offer you the following qualifications and background. 1) Eight years as a city councilman; 2) Two years (in Jan. 82) as a memlier of the planning board of Crantsville City; 3) Numerous leadership positions in the LDS Church; 4) Two years as a director in the Rocky Mountain Rodeo Association. I have lived in Crantsville my entire life (except one month) and have an interest in the way it develops. I feel that Crantsville needs to grow in an organ- ized and orderly manner with definite goals to work towards. Now is the time to make these plans and I feel qualified to lie a part of that planning. Crantsville is fortunate to be located in an area where we have room to grow and we need to be aware of how precious that room is and protect it as we plan our growth. We have some good tools to work with in a good, flexible zoning ordinance and we have adopted a master plan for the city, but we need to have more involvement and interest shown by the citizens. When you speak of growth and improvements the subject of funding mast Gary K. Dalton Cary K. Dalton, the present Director of Health and Human Services in Tooele County, has long lieen a servant of the people. Seeking the public tmst of luring mayor in Crantsville comes after much encouragement and advice from friends, family and supporters. Mr. Dalton suggests that his leadership and understanding of local and state government serve as his greatest qualifications for seeking office. The zeal to serve ranks with other personal characteristics of energy, integrity, understanding and sensitivity, as well as dependability which highlights Mr. Dalton's lie considered. This b why we must plan altead and solicit the type of growth we want to increase our tax base without the constant threat of property tax increases. Ught industry and commercial development needs to lie promoted. I have worked in the past to keep property taxes down and will continue to do so. My voting record while on the coiin-ci- l will (tear out the fact that I have been supportive of thine things that will improve our city in an overall manner and nut favoring special grorqis for personal or political reasons. We must however, face the facts that improvements cost money and cities only have certain avenues by which to get those funds i.e., property taxes, sales tax, state road funds, liquor taxes, city licenses, building permits, water and sewer fees, etc. canqtaign. Candidate Dalton feels that critical issues to lie dealt with in Crantsville's future can Ire summed up as follows: Community Pride: The city must invest its spirit, imagination and energies into supporting elements which bring pride and happiness to the community. The supxrt of city Ireautification, youth activity programs, senior citizen involvement, adult recreation, and increased patriotism are among pledges Mr. Dalton makes in this area. Government Services: The city mast have able leadership in a mayor who is supportive of fundamental services such As your mayor I will work for contin- ued improvements and efficient use of city fluids. I will work for a good working relationship lietween the mayor and city council. I will work for citizen input and involvement and welcome construc- tive criticism. As your mayor we can work and grow together for a better Crantsville City. J, Keith Keith Wanlass Brown I feel my experience in public service the past years in Crantsville qualify me as a candidate for the office of mayor. J. Keith Brown was bom in Crantsville, graduated from Crantsville High School and after high school, graduated from the Utah State University in Logan. I have had a great deal of experience in the areas of water resources and conservation, public safety, having served in that area for 35 years; ranching and farming, city government, church and Mr. Brown worked for Crantsville City 19 years as police chief. He was elected mayor in"1977. During the term of mayor, two large improvement districts have been completed. The water and sewer systems have been upgraded with large amounts of new piping in- civic affairs, and at the present time I am serving as president of the board of directors of the Family Practice Croup. I am particularly interested in working with the following: education, senior citizens, water conservation, public safety, city beautification and improvements, upgrading the water distribution stalled. Three projects were completed and did not cost the citizens of Crantsville anything as state and federal monies were used. During Mr. Browns term of office, interest on the investment of the citys money amounted to more than all of the rest of the mayors investments put together. system, road improvement (in areas not now hard surfaced), repair of sidewalks, more emphasis being placed on the care of the cemetery, and regulated and controlled population growth. Mr. Brown The Crantsville City roads have numerous new coats of asphalt to a point where they are in better shape than they have ever been. Mr. Brown feels that the city should get a dollars worth of goods out of every dollar spent. Crantsville Citys water system needs to be upgraded in a few places, some work needs to be done on the sewer system and he would like to black-to- p more roads. I would bring to the office of mayor the dignity the office demands, and the right that every citizen of Crantsville has to expect that dignity. I feel an elected official has an obligation to be a servant, not a master. I maintain that the effectiveness of city government is directly related to the efficient management of financial as law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency medical services. Dalton strongly supports those services as well as street and road maintenance efforts, water and sewer services, and the care of the cemetery. He recognizes that strong council input is necessary to see that these programs are highlighted and continued. Reyond fundamental government services, Dalton also pledges to update non- - existant city policy and procedures as well as the review, consolidation and indexing of Crantsville City ordinances. Growth and Development: Mr. Dalton will work diligently to attract light industry and business in Crantsville, expand the tax Itase and work in concert with the planning council for an updated planning strategy for the city. Dalton also stresses coordination with county and state agencies and the establishment of a feasibility committee for investigating the likelihood of a youth recrea-tionswimmi- pool complex. Leadership: Dalton, as candidate, makes a final appeal for a mayor who is a leader. . . truth in the office and out. The mayor must be sensitive to the individual and the community, must for difficult decisions, and must be accountable. The mayor has a responsibility for fostering a professional atmosphere for meetings and the conduct of city business. He must also promote harmony with his council members so that government may Ire efficient and not argumentative. As candidate I offer that abil-ittype of leadership and management ar-bi- te y. This first bid for elective office has been tremendoasly rewarding and very exciting states Dalton. It is something everyone should try at least once. Cary Daltons most fervent fans are his wife, Barbara, and their five children. re- sources, public involvement and trust, and an accurate perception of public needs for the delivery of services and programs. I shall strive to accomplish these goals through meaningful public discussion. Editors Note Another of my goals if elected would be to try and unify the community in spirit and action. Much can be accomplished if everyone would work together. I would be available on evenings other than council meeting night to meet with citizens who wish to express public input. These articles were written by each of the candidates for the Grantsville City Council and Grantsville Mayor races. Neither Pete Gallegos nor Ray Woestmann submitted articles for this During my service as a councilman, I was deeply concerned alxmt the safety of children attending Crantsville Elementary School. I still maintain this concern, and feel every means possible should be used to insure the childrens safety, including exploring the feasibility of acrosswalk guard. feature. Complete elec- tion results will be published in next weeks Bulletin which will be distributed early Wednesday I pledge my time and energies to serving the people of Crantsville to the best of my ability, assuring them that I will always have the best interests in the public safety and welfare of all the citizens of Crantsville. morning.
