Show 2A Lakeside Review South, Wednesday, Sept. 21, 1983 , JOHN OHARA JR. JERRY LAWRENCE NEIL H.' KEITH BARTON F. DIMICK '' 'i-- GOLDEN L. ALLEN CHARLES SHAFTER Candidates Vie For Cte Council John O'Hara Jr. has an- - nounced his candidacy for the Bountiful City Council. OHara, a Bountiful resident since 1972, is senior electrical y in designer at Salt Lake City. The candidate said the most critical problem facing Bountiful today is the continuing threat of flooding. He says now is the time to formulate an emergency plan for the future. OHara said the stream channels must be put into a condition which would handle a maximum flow of wa-tduring runoff periods. We must work now to be prepared. We cannot afford a finacial out lay year after year like that which had to be made in 1983." OHara also said there are problems with the Utah Redevelopment Act and the Bountiful Redevelopment Agency. He said that in the six years since the creation of the RDA it has cost taxpayers dearly in tax revenues. The net result is that less development in Bountiful has been made than would have been possible without the agency. This program must work for our community or be abol-- . ished, said OHara. We cannot afford to perpetuate the program and its poor performance record and longer. OHara said local merchants should be helped to compete in the marketplace. If large corporations wish to locate their stores in Bountiful, we should encourage that too, but we dont have to pay their way, or give them unfair advantage over our merchants. Our people must come first in our efforts. OHara was bom in Los Angeles. He and his wife Gay are the parents of four children. Jerry Lawrence, a resident of Bountiful City for 25 years, is a candidate for the Bountiful City Council. Lawrence was born in Salt Lake City and attended public school there and at the University of Utah. He married Beth Burnett of Clinton. They are the parents of six children and 10 grandchildren. Lawrence said the issues confronting Bountiful are many and complex. Falling into the catago-rie- s of fiscal, enviromental and social. Some of these issues have been well defined such as RDA, emergency preparedness, proper control for flood channels and enviromental impact on the foothills along the east bench, and management of electrical power resources and relationships with the utilities involved. He states that his opportunities of service and business management over the past 25 years provides a base that will enable him to assist in proving that leadership which is necessary to resolve the issues, in a timely manner, which now confront Bountiful City. Lawrence is president and general manager of Rocky Mountain Contractors, Inc., a general contracting firm engaged in commercial and industrial construction in the intermountain area. He has served as president of the Utah Chapter of The Associated General Contractors of America and as a national director. He also has served as a Bishop of the Bountiful ninth and 31st wards and a member of the high coucils of the Bountiful Stake and Muellar Park Stakes. His basic convictions are that the free enterprise system of business is best suited to run businesses. Community gover- Eaton-Kenwa- er . ments are to provide those tradi- residents with low cost power in municipal in scope. Neil F. Dimick is a candidate for the Centerville City council position. Dimick became a Centerville City Councilman when Mayor Neil Blackburn rec- Charles Harold Shafter has announced his candidancy for the Bountiful City Council. He has resided for the past 20 years at 1453 N. 400 West in Bountiful, and said he is dedicated to the maintenance of Bountiful as a residential community. Shafter has been a commercial electrician for 21 years, the past ' 16 with Wasatch Electric Company of Salt Lake City. He has experience in the electrical power field and feels that he can contribute to solving the- - problems facing Bountifuls Pdwer Department. An avid golfer and softball player, Shafter is very interested in the continued development and maintenance of good recreation facilities in Bountiful. As a leader of youth, he said he has an ability to get things done for a minimum of cost by using donated labor in upgrading two ball parks in the Bountiful and West Bountiful area. He believes that a great deal more can be done in the way of community involvement to get things done without increasing taxes. He said the youth especially need to be involved to gain an appreciation for what we have. Shafter feels that some of the most important issues facing the Council are the flood control and flood clean-uthe redevelopment agency, and the electric power management. He favors speedy action to complete the, cleanup with safety being of prime concern at this time. Creek bed alignment and design must be a balance of the desires of the residents who live along the creeks against flood protection for the community. The Redevelopment Agency is ah area of great concern. Shafter believes in an orderly development for Bountiful, but is concerned that too much money is being spent without results. Shafter served in the Marine Corps for three years and was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant. He has been involved in small businesses as a partner, and served as an LDS bishop of the Bountiful 12th Ward for five year. He married Sue Trimble and they are the parents of six children. Golden L.

He also has served as a member of the citys finance committee since it was organized in 1982 to address concerns about the Citys financial position. Dimick is a manager with the national CPA firm, Deloitte Haskins & Sells. Since graduating from BYU in 1973 he has worked in the firms San Francisco, Boise, New York and Salt Lake City offices.

He currently is Treasurer and board member for the Uah Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis . Society. Dimick, said his interest in volunteering his serivce to Centerville is a continuation of life style the residents of Centerville now enjoy. That is, a community that values, its present condi- tion enough to carefully evaluate all zoning and development proposals against an acceptable master plan. H.

He is also a member of the executive board of directors of the Greater Salt Lake Business District, which administers SBA 503 loan pro- gram. Barton is owner and manager of Bartons Family Shoes in Bountiful. Barton named five major issues facing Bountiful. He said he would like to continue his involvement on the council as the city faces these issues. One issue is the construction work which will take place on the citys creeks to help prevent future flooding. He also said the city needs to continue with plans to revitalize the downtown area and to fill in blank spots downtown. Barton said he would like the city to continue to explore plans for a resource recovery plant. He said the city should take a close look at a county wide resource recovery plant proposed for Clearfield, as well as checking into other alternatives. The start and completion of' 2600 South and Orchard Drive to 500 South is also a priority, Barton said. Improvements have been planned along that stretch of road. The city is in the process of acquiring rights to several power projects. Barton said the city should continue in its efforts to obtain hydro power, which he said is a good, cheap source of electricity and will continue to provide Bountiful . WANTED.
