The Bountiful City Council has since scheduled a public hearing to amend the ordinance on Nov. 9, at 7:30 p.m., one day after the general election. John OHara, a former city council candidate, said the citys rules and regulations should have been given to each candidate at the time candidates filed for office. I disagree that midstream in the election we should change things. Linnell said if the intent of the council was to pass an ordinance allowing signs of up to 16 square feet, the candidates should not be limited to signs of only four re He agreed with OHara that the citys rules and regulations should be handed out to candidates at the time they file for election. Signs should be big enough to be seen, Linnell said, but not overwhelming. What to Do With - With some FARMINGTON funds from the $12 million bond election expected to be available Davis County in officials have begun the application process for cities to apply for funding to improve drainage systems. Representatives of the Davis County Flood Committee received application forms last week and other county bodies such as the School district and landfills are invited to apply also. Davis County plans to ask for bids in November on construction and improvement of debris basins and to clean-oexisting stream channels. ut Under the Utah Code, county commissioners may initiate and approve funding for projects it deems necessary for flood control purposes. Larry Denham, bonding representative for the county, said ratings will be sought with national bond rating agents before the bonds are sold. He said the $12 million in bonds will be sold in blocks of $1,000. Denham said he expects some of the funds to be in the bank by the middle of December. County Commissioners hope to get as many of the projects completed in time for expected heavy runoff and possible storms next spring and early flood-contr- 01 County activities.
