Adding a lot to the aesthetics will be a retention basin in the form of a acre pond. Mr. Garfield emphasizes the retention basin should not hinder anyone down stream. Well be very careful in use of water, he stresses. The pond will be filled only after other water user needs have been met, he explains. We can completely drain the pond, drain it to clear it of silt or for whatever reasons, he adds.

The director of Davis County Housing Authority the past nine years has lead that agency from almost total chaos to a model that assists thousands with housing needs each year. Effective Wednesday, Mrs. Davis took over the helm of Salt Lake Citys capital planning and programming department. With a budget of $43 million, the agency works closely with community citizen councils to determine needs from parks to sidewalks to new roads. Community development block grants, redevelopment projects and city food banks also come Sign adds character The newest addito tion Laytons Historic Downtown business district is a brick column sign and reader board on the south comer of the First National Bank of Layton property. LAYTON The special reader board is an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) system, a technology that uses very large plastic, liquid crystal sign modules. It has the advantages of lower price, easy installation, low power consumption and solid state reliability. The sign was constructed by Letter Perfect Company of Bountiful. Time and temperature information is fed into the sign through a computer inside the bank. The system has the capacity to change messages daily through the computer. Lights make the reader board very visable in the evening. The Job Corps center holds a monthly graduation of students, the next one scheduled for this Friday, April 10. State representative Scott Holt, an attorney, will be guest speaker. Next council luncheon is slated for April 28. under that offices direction. Im thrilled with the opportunity but will be real sad to leave here. The staff and board of directors have been real close and we have built a strong program, she adds. When the Carbon County native took the reins at Davis County Housing Authority in 1978, she knew nothing about housing, she readily admits. The Housing Authority had gone through a series of directors, staff and board members. Only one seasoned staff member was left in the rubble when Mrs. Davis came on board and only two board members had stayed on. The budget then is dwarfed even by the housing rehabilitation loans program, these days where about $250,000 is e awarded. A staff of three-fou- r has grown to 14 while the budget has mushroomed to $4 milunder-$200,00- stated.

These areas include cooking, accounting and related business skills, and machinery. Once a curriculum is selected, the center trains students in a wide variety of areas, she explained. The automotive program, for example, is really twofold. One level puts emphasis on service station type mechanics, while the United centers Auto Workers program takes those skills one step further. Clearfield Job Corps has had huge success in placing UAW graduates in the auto industry. The center's building maintenance program has eight disciplines, and other areas of training include custodial, electrical, horticulture, masonry, plumbing, and center. Welding and metals are also taught in a discipline. Davis Housing Authority bids farewell to one tough lady Building Americas Future.
