At the urging of Commissioner C.E. Moss, the Davis County mayors, who make up the council, voted to lower the late penalty fee from $15 to $5. THE PENALTY had been raised this year at the same time that dog license fees were raised from $3 to $5. COG officials had approved the increase in dog licensing Valerie Wilson $ 5 P Cl 01 S thru April 2nd including Hair Cut and Shampoo Set! For appointment Call 376-433- 5 fees. Commissioner Moss urged the council to move the late I 900 Um 41 North Main water. Earlier the district had said they would deliver only 60 percent of the water contracted for and reserve the 40 percent in the reservoirs for the following year. That position has changed since the district received letters from Ogden City and Bona Vista Water Conservancy District, which demanded that 100 percent of the water purchased be delivered to those purchasers. Based on that demand, Weber Water District attorney Neil d drafted a letter to water users saying that the district will be able to deliver 100 percent of the contract demands both municipal and irrigation water users on the Ogden River system. BUT THE letter states that due to shortage on the Weber River system, which supplies Davis County, they will be able to supply only about 60 percent of the irrigation water contracted for on the Olm-stea- Weber side. Although all users will receive letters saying the water is available for this year, the district continues to urge that districts curtail water use. Any water that is saved will be carried over for use next year and cannot be claimed penalty fee back to the original figure since people arent going along with the change. He said that county Animal Control officers have sold only four penalty licenses a 2 Street-Kaysvil- le (v) T purchaser. MR. WINEGAR emphasized that carry-ove- r water belongs to the user that carries it over. Even though municipal water users have the priority, if they use 100 percent of their water allotment this year, they will not be able to claim water that has been saved by irrigators. The water situation hasnt changed, Mr. Winegar said. We cant legally force our customers to carry over their water. The decision to conserve must be made by the user and not by us. HE SAID the publicity which resulted from the preliminary decision, made about six weeks ago to deliver only 60 percent of the water this year, has been helpful in making users aware of the water shortage. Our demand has gone down 15 percent since people are more aware of conservation. MR. OLMSTEAD said the decision to carry over water makes it necessary for Weber Basin tn waive the contract provisions which prohibits customers to carry over unused portions of water from year to year.

Main St., Layton 773-424- 3 - 376-345- ONE PROBLEM that the district faces is that they dont have the water where they need it. The water on the Ogden River side, which flows into Willard Bay, needs to be exchanged for upstream water on the Weber side, Mr. Winegar said. The Ogden River and Willard canal and reservoir have enough storage water to deliver 100 percent for both the municipal and industrial needs as well as supplying 100 percent to irrigators. agreed, but the method of disbursing the funds was open for discussion. Dr. Williams pointed out that, in other counties in the state, the Mental Health Department handles its own budgeting through a separate account. But in Davis County the budget is handled through the County Clerks office to insure the program is responsive to the wishes and under the control of the county commission. BUT THE district does not have the facilities to pump the water out of Willard Bay to supply the 66,040 acre feet of water that would supply the normal demand on the Weber side. This year only 40,950 acre feet are available, thus making it necessary to cut the supply to irrigators by 40 percent. The board of directors moved that Mr. Winegar move to begin an investigation on how to pump water from Willard Bay to the Layton canal. Mr. Winegar said, This would be a good time to begin an investigation on ways and means of exchanging water. I think it is still cheaper to pump water than look for another source. THE FUNDS in question were those paid out for postage and printing, as well as the cost of employee time needed to compute the Mental Health budget through the general fund. Dr. Williams said the Mental Health THE COST of pumping one acre foot of water 100 feet is $2.30. Estimates on the cost of a pumping plant to pump the water from Willard Bay to higher locations could be as much as ten million dollars, officials said. Mr. Winegar said, My message is to conserve. The board voted to provide the public an example by letting the yards surrounding the water building dry up as a public relations gesture in saving water. They suggested that only the greens at golf courses be watered and the fairways be left unwatered. The district is hoping to hold off until May 1 before they begin to supply water. Department felt it would save money by using the countys printing facilities and having the cost billed to his department. Mr. Walker said postage costs could be estimated and back costs billed to Mental Health. The two agreed to meet together at the sugges IN OTHER unrelated business, the Board of Directors voted to allow Hill Air Force Base to cancel 154 acre feet f irrigation water allotments on areas that will be used for an extension of the runway. The board also voted to sponsor a school to certify water treatment plant operators and reward those achieving higher grade rankings with more money. Those operators, who study and take tests to increase their expertise, would be rewarded with $25 a month more money in comparison to an operator who achieves a grade 4 rank and receives only $10 additional each month. IN A related matter, Commissioner C.E. Moss asked Dr. Williams whether the Mental Health Service in Bountiful might consider moving to the basement of the library where the Golden Years Center moves to their new building in April. Since the library is a county owned facility, the mental health department could use the two or three rooms in the basement rent free, Commissioner Moss said. Dr. Williams said the department would take the commis- sioners suggestion under consideration. IN OTHER business, they approved the hiring of eight new county employees and approved pay raises for 24 others.

HE SAID that posting and printing costs should be coming out of the Mental Health budget. Dr. Russell Williams THE COUNTY contributes about $30,000 annually to the mental health budget, which is largely funded by the state and federal governments. Mr. Walker said that, though it would be more convenient to pull mental health funds out of the general fund and create a special fund as the county library system has done, the auditor does not favor handling too much money this way. opened for discussion when County Clerk Rod Walker ueried the Davis County Commission as to whether a special fund should be established for the County Mental Health department.
