The council reviewed the new laws concerning posting and publishing of agendas MARSHAL Lyle Larkins and Officer Robert Mednick met with the council and Marshal Larkins stated that some of the neighboring cities had established a youth bureau in their police department, with one officer handling all juvenile related cases, which account for 80 percent of all crimes and this has worked out very well for them. Most cities have received yearly LEPA Grants from the Federal Government through Don Cavallis office for this. The Kaysville Police Department felt this would be beneficial to the city and since the deadline for filing was May 13, 1977, they had gone ahead and filed with the understanding that they could not accept the grant unless approved by the city council. proposed that this person would also work the rest of the week at the police office on the other police work, which is presently being done by the Kaysville City Office. THE GRANT would cover 90 percent of the wages and employee benefits of the ofsecrefice and his part-tim- e tary, cost of a car, radio equipped and file, estimated cost of $23,204 from the grant, $2,579 from the city or a total cost of $25,783.

The payment cant be negated by bankruptcy or by marginal income, Mr. Cisney said. Two juveniles age 17 and one adult, age 19, have been arrested for the theft of 48 boxes of cereal and a cutting knife from the kitchen store at the Weber Basin Job Corps.' LT. DEAN Egbert said the incident was reported by Errol Whiting, representing the Weber Basin Job Corps, on May 24. Entry was gained Kaysville Okays Learning Center - and what these should consist of and Councilman Gerald Purdy moved that in order to comply with the new law, that any item for the agenda be submitted by 5 p.m. on the Friday preceding the Tuesday council meeting and a notice be mailed to the Ogden Standard Examiner on that day as there is no way it could be published in the Weekly Reflex in time. WAS THIS passed unanimously by the council members. The council also felt that the Utah League of Cities be advised that the council feels this new law is unwieldy and unnecessary. , IT WAS recommended that the fee for the board of ad- justment hearing, zoning hearing or annexation be set at $25 due to the increase in publication costs, sending of notices, etc. Councilman Purdy moved that a fee of $25 must accompany any applications submitted after this date for any of the above matters. It was passed by the council. THE COUNCIL agreed they should subscribe to the Drought Information Newsletter put out by Utah State University with regards to water conditions, conservation, etc., which is apparently available at no cost. Mayor Cundall and Supt. Max Major reported that 106 from the Highway Cross Roads at Farmington Junction, north to Layton city limits now has priority No. 2 rating for federal funding. SUPT. MAJOR pointed out that the reason for the prioritizing is that No. 1 projects are all engineered and ready to go, the No. 2s are not. This project will cost about three million dollars. The Kaysville city share is about ten percent and collector road monies can be used on this although the citys MR. WILSON said about 25 to 35 percent of the hard core cases eventually end up in the courts. Mr. Wilson works on welfare recovery cases about 20 hours a week. Both men see the need for more time to be spent on the program since following up on each case is a central part administrative default procedures are Juveniles Arrested through MR. WILSON said the frustration results when the man is not employed and seems to be making no effort to find employment. In some cases you can sentence him to work and force him to pay over the money for child support. Sometimes if a man is employed, he is still not able to make the money necessary for the support. In this case you determine whether he is making a good faith effort and get what you can from him. In most cases Mr. Cisney explained, women dont want to be on assistance and they feel a lot of anger. They express their frustrations by saying, Its not fair. Theyre his children as well as mine. These women have more hope now that the bureau is able to force their husbands to pay the support payments. UNDER THE IV-program the new legislation which the BRS began to implement in the county last July, the father is located and receives the notice of support in the form of a summons. The should contact the County By DONETA M. GATHERUM undertaken by the BRS staff located in Ogden. If the father still does not pay the MR. CISNEY said the recovery services program is also discouraging separation of couples. Sometimes a family will split up with the agreement that the mother apply for public assistance while the father finds a job. This results in the family having two sources of income. But the bureau has cut down on this con game, by making it possible to trace the father more quickly and nailing the sham right after the application is submitted. When the pressure is applied the guy usually gets right back with his family and the case is closed, Mr. Cisney said. Many separations result when couples take on too many financial responsibilities and decide to let the state support them. The state law provides that fathers, when found, can be allowed to make either voluntary or involuntary wage assignments. They can agree to have a certain amount of money withheld from their checks or the county can file a writ to have a certain amount of money withdrawn from the wages. monthly support payments. Cases are kept on a rotating review basis. Should the father not continue the payments, he will be back in jail, Mr. Wilson said. Keith Cisney, Regional Manager for the BRS, says the law, passed in 1974 opened up a new route of forcing fathers to be responsible for support. He said in 90 percent of the cases when the man and wife are separated, the woman will apply for welfare and sign over the right to collect support money from the man to the federal government when she becomes eligible for public assistance. by tive STORE hours are 9a m. until 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9a.m. until 6 p.m. Saturdays, and noon until 5 p.m. on Sundays. Mr. Wilson estimated that there are about 1,300 child support cases on the books in Davis County. These cases continue to increase by about 250 to 300 cases each year. Some involve fathers who have left the state. Provision is now made in the law to handle these cases also through the URESA, a federal agency. Payment by delinquent fathers is made through the County Clerks office. About 90 percent of the cases, traced through the federal agency, are originated through the BRS. THE SENTENCE resulted in a change of heart. The father agreed to make the land, land agricultural leveling, seeding to correct Meister, manager. THE STATE pays incentive money to tlje counties off the top of the money they receive. Last year Davis County received about $16,000 for collecting the money.

The father had not paid support for a year. He had filed bankruptcy, saying he was unable to pay the $25 a month support since he had too many financial obligations. The BRS gathered information about where the man worked and made a thorough check on his income and financial obligations. Mr. Wilson presented the evidence in the case, the man was held in contempt of court for not paying his obligations and was sentenced to 20 days in the county jail. agriculture water; prevent other environmental problems resulting from winderosion and other extended drought problems; and rehabilitate farmland business, the Radio D program, which allows the state 25 percent of the money collected.

The county offered to help the residents by reducing the price on the gravel and asphalt and constructing the road. COMMISSIONER Glen Flint estimated that the cost to the residents would be about $764, plus the cost of a driveway, if the residents accept the countys offer. The problem yet to be solved is whether curb and gutter is required in the area by the subdivision ordinance. County Planning Director Joseph Moore said curb and gutter is an option in agricultural areas. HE SUGGESTED that, if no curb and gutter were required, the water could drain off the hill onto the lots and not cause as much of a flooding problem as if the curb and gutter forced the water down Mutton Hollow all the residents to pay for the project. But they reconsidered when they discovered the cost of forming a district' would be between $2,000 and $4,000. Road. The residents scheduled an e meeting with County Engineer Glen Austin to determine if the construction without the curb and gutter is a feasible plan. Commissioner Flint will work with the residents and be present when they meet Mr. Austin. on-sit- COMMISSIONER Wendell Zaugg said as long as the water is not diverted, the residents would not be responsible for a law suit.

MOORE said if the e inspections show the plan is feasible, residents could plant grass all the way to the road. Residents living on the street have waited since the sewer was installed two years ago to persuade others in the area to share in the cost. Most residents seemed to agree to go along with the cost if the county decides to help by building the road. One resident said earlier that he would not share in the cost of curb and gutter.
