Randy Sant, RDA executive director, said the agency in the past has had a bad name. He said he would like to change that. Sant listed the public relations program and eight other goals as his top priorities as new executive director for the agency.

The agency will also establish a land inventory of areas suitable for new business development. Sant said the agency will also look for various other programs to finance RDA projects and increase the tax increment to the agency. He said he would also like to develop a closer relationship with other Bountiful City departments. Together we can come up with good projects, he said. Sant also said he plans to organize the agencys budget and eliminate some expenses. One expense that Sant suggested eliminating is the agencys membership in a national organization that involves many redevelopment agency executive directors. In the past some Bountiful RDA board members have voted against travel plans made by the previous RDA executive director to the organizations meeting. Sant said the agency also needs to develop a cash flow through the sale and develop- ment of agency-ovne- Sant said the agency needs to begin doing that immediately. RDA Chairman Dean Stahle said one of the agencys goals is not to condemn any property in the city at all for RDA projects. He said that one of the reasons Sant was hired was because Sant and the Ogden RDA were able to do their projects without condemning any property.

The board of education will be as fair as we can but we will be limited going into negotiations. Mrs. Allen also said the impact of the Legislatures decision could be felt in years to come especially if the economy turns around. One of the biggest problems is this being a discouragement for people going into education. As soon as the economy turns around we may lose some teachers. The budget of the State of Utah was balanced at the sake of education, Mrs. Allen said. Welling said that he didnt believe a severance tax would hurt the oil companies because of the 10 most successful businesses in the country, five are oil companies. Im disappointed to see there wasnt more sensitivity on the part of the Legislature. It will take a lot of creativity for districts to get through this, Welling said. Its a disheartening kind of thing. Mudslide Poses a Danger to Residents in NSl By CHERYL ARCHIBALD Raview Corral pondsnt A NORTH SALT LAKE month ago the ground had only pulled away from the sidewalk by an inch, and now the whole piece of ground has slid into the canyon. Where trees were standing there are trees lying on the ground. That is how Mayor Robert Palmquist of North Salt Lake described a mudslide at David Way and Bernice in North Salt Lake. Palmquist said there are o cracks in the road which itself is pulling away from the curb. Utah State Geologist Bruce Callister, Palmquist and City Manager Collin Wood have examined the site and study will be made next week to find the cause of the slide and a report will be made. Callister is inspecting mudslides in other areas. The whole Wasatch Front area from Provo to Box Elder County has had problems because of the excessive amount of rain, be said. Some suggestions made at the last North Salt Lake City Coun- pptin g were to nut a fence 10-t- . along the sidewalk to discourage children from playing near the slide and to protect people who may use the sidewalk at night. Also, posting signs was mentioned. A house sitting on the lot next to the slide area, according to Callister, could be in danger of moving, but he wont know until ah investigation is made. Neighbors are concerned about the danger to children who play on the hill and under the house, said one resident, Shelly Clifford. She said that people living by it never really wanted the house to be built in the first place, and that they had voiced their disapproval at a meeting with city officials. , When the variance for the home to be built was approved, the neighbors were surprised because they didnt feel it was a very good place to build a house. She said that they are concerned that the house may it unsafe to live in, the state geologist has stated that it has nothing to do with the mudslide. Palmquist said that as soon as the geologists report comes out they will get recommendations from the engineers on how to save the street and sidewalk and prevent more mudslides. Farmington city has had its problems with mudslides also. According to Max Forbush, city manager, last fall a mudslide at the base of Compton Road threatened 200 families on Compton Bench. Soil engineers found that oversaturation of the ground in the form of springs at the base of the road had made the top layer of soil heavy. The hillside slid laterally 50 to 50 feet causing a vertical cliff. Engineers said to install a drain for the water underground. With the help of the National Guard, for 10 days soil was hauled in and the slopes of were reconstructed at a slighter cause the have been the movement of the land. grade, and a sophisticated Although Mayor Palmquist drainage system of fabric and admitted that the home was mesh was installed to capture very poorly built and that the tfle water and drain it into a building inspector-h- a g declared ,ripe.
