An airline subsidy study, conducted by Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) shows that $100,000 would be needed to finance state-widair service. Any subsidization would require a change in federal law. railroad assistance program considered in is also being THE REPORT, based on a connection with three month study, was presented by Ronald Delis, Regional Council (WFRC). Another study, which explored a local railroad assistance program for class 2 railroads, was also submitted MR. DELIS said the study, which included questionnaires sent to business and in 15 communities indicated that 85 per cent of the air traffic in Utah is geared to business and professional people. Sky West Airlines was used by researchers as a demonstration airline. Passengers on the airline were questioned also to come up with the survey results. Mr. Delis said the study showed that for airlines to break even, they would have to maintain 65 per cent capacity, even with the sub- 376-835- System Road funds.

The county had understood PRELIMINARY plans, hopefully funded through 402, require a description of the proposed project, a location map, a statement that matching funds are available and a statement of the estimated cost of the project.

COUNTY Commissioner C.E. Moss and Noel Evans, animal control officer, said a similar plan was initiated last year. Officers sell licenses after working hours. Residents were required to license dogs by March 1. Those who did not do so, will be required to pay a late fee of $10 for altered dogs and $15 for unaltered animals. This is a $5 increase per license over the normal fee. which was $10 last year, has risen to $15 this year. o o o o o o o o o o ooooooooooooooooooooo 5. DAVID HANSEN, spokesman for the citizens group, said that group had hired Mark Hafey, a planning engineer, to draw up an alternate plan, since the committee contends that Compton Road is being considered as the main access road into the area. Scott Carter, Davis County Planner, who is on contract to Farmington City, disagrees. He says the Compton Road access is only one of several alternatives that are currently being considered to provide access to future development in the northeast area of the city. A moratorium un building in the area was imposed in January until the problem can be resolved. The citizen's committee presented the alternative plan on the 58th day of the moratorium, Mr. Hansen said. The citizens plan recommends an access road which would cross Farmington Canyon and enter the disputed area from the east. Mr. Carter said this is the same plan the city is recommending. The city is now asking for a cost estimate on a bridge, which would allow traffic to travel north along First East cross the proposed bridge, circle around the hill and enter the disputed area from the east. The cost estimate is being made by Bert Taylor, District Director for Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Mr. Carter said. available. DEAN Prisbrey, district traffic engineer for UDOT estimated that about 85 percent of the signs in the county need to be updated to meet safety standards. THE BULK of the citizens paper deals with the inadvisability of using Compton Road, as presently constructed, as either a primary or secondary access. They also say the Bayview Drive or Allen Drive could not provide alternate access to the area since it flows into Compton Road. The position paper states that both Compton Road and Bayview Drive are too narrow to serve as secondary access roads. Neither have sidewalks so pedestrian traffic would have to share the present roads. They say heavy traffic would result if Compton Road were to provide access to 61 more lots for single family dwellings. MR. HANSEN quoted the Bountiful Hillside Development ordinance which requires that at least two ingress and egress routes shall be provided for each subdivision or condominium. At present Farmington does not have a hillside ordinance, but one may be developed in connection with the master plan, Mr. Carter said. The citizens plan calls for Compton Road to be improved to meet the 66 feet wide specifications and be allowed as a secondary access road. MR. CARTER said the meeting last week, but the meeting ran overtime and the matter was not discussed, Commissioner Moss said. Mayor Lewis Shields of Layton requested a special session to deal with the dog licensing issue, but a date for that meeting was not set. MR. EVANS said that COG as the bridge across Farmington Canyon, he said. Mr. Hansen said the city council and DAVIS County Council of Governments (COG) has still not determined whether Davis cities will individually license dogs as Bountiful is doing.
