The Farmington juvenile court is the first to be built by the state, although By ROSELYN KIRK FARMINGTON A juvenile court building will be constructed in Farmington to serve Davis County residents, according to Deloy Archibald, operation's chief of the Davis County Juvenile Court. About $257,000 has been allocated by the 1977 Utah State Legislature to construct the building. The erection of the juvenile court has been set as the 14th priority in a list of buildings for state agencies, which will be funded through a $20 million bond issue passed by the legislature. JUVENILE court administrators had placed a permanent location for the juvenile court in Davis County at the top of a list of priorities. Mr. Archibald said the Utah State Building Board is presently looking for a site within a two or three block area of the county courthouse. After the land is purchased, an architectural plan, which will include a courtroom, judges chambers, offices for intake probation officers, for the assistant county attorney and the court psychologist are planned. MR. ARCHIBALD said the footage size was estimated based on the projection of the needs of the court. He is hopeful the building will be completed in at least a year. The Davis County court is in Utahs First Juvenile Court District which includes Davis, Box Elder, Cache, Morgan, Rich and Weber Counties. Four regional offices provide courtrooms in that district in Logan, Brigham City, Ogden and Farmington. Salt Lake County Court building in the Second District is being purchased by the state court system. THE Farmington Court has been renting the present site since July 1967. The expansion of the building will allow the court to hire additional intake and probation officers if funds are available, Mr. Archibald said.

According to James Deaton, UDOT District One Superintendent, the state hopes to complete the 5i8 mile stretch as far as Farmington Junction if the money holds out. The work is scheduled to and plans start in are to finish the construction by fall. mid-Apr- WE DONT Taxpayers are urged to bring their tax forms, 1977 W-- 2 forms, and all necessary information to complete their tax forms. Last years return can also be of benefit as a UDOT officials pointed to two other sources from which money may be forthcoming to Davis County. The pedestrian safety program will make available $118,000 to $119,000, previously approved by the Utah State Legislature to build sidewalks along state roads. According to Blaine Kay, District Two supervisor, tfce county and cities must submit requests for specific projects in their areas. ONLY county--Nort- h two cities in the Salt Lake and Centerville-ha- ve received money so far to complete the sidewalk project. Mr. Kay will explain how the funding will be allocated to mayors at the Davis County Council of Governments meeting on March 15. UDOT officials said the proposed construction of four ramps at the Syracuse In- has reached terchange at the hearing stage. THAT project, which is on the Wasatch Front Regional Council Short Range plan, is waiting for the completion of an environmental impact statement. According to Dr. Deaton, if the hearing, scheduled for should show that few residents in the area are opposed to the project, it should move rapidly through mid-Apri- l, the environmental process. study COMMISSIONER Glen Flint asked highway officials to let the county know the names of residents express- - AS THE county continues to grow, the total cases referred ing opposition to the project so the commission could try to shift the opinion. Mr. Deaton said opposition had been voiced by people adjacent to the road who would be affected by the noise. Additional opposition has also been registered since there are two schools in the proposed area of the interchange, he said. ACCORDING to Commissioner Flint, traffic patterns make the construction of the interchange a necessity. Mr. Kay said he is hopeful that, if opposition is expressed, that federal ofCaim- ficials will not require a tegory I environmental pact statement, which would slow the project further. UDOT officials explained that the one-ha- lf cent increase in gasoline tax will also make $800,000 to $900,000 available to Davis County to resurface SR 106 from North Salt Lake to North Bountiful, placing a signal at 450 North and Main Street. Bids on this project will be let May 1, with the hope that construction can begin on July date for the structure has not been set, although crowded conditions at the present site, located at 88 South Highway 106, make a move necessary as quickly as possible. At present the court is housed in a leased building with 1900 square feet of space. When court is held two to three days a week, the waiting room is so crowded that attorneys must go outside the building to confer with clients, Mr. Archibald said. The number of juvenile crimes that are brought to trial is increasing. 1. COMMISSIONER Flint questioned UDOT officials to why SR 106 between 200 North in Kaysville and the Layton interchange had been taken off the state system and asked if any funds would be available to repair the road. According to Mr. Deaton, only B and C road collector funds can be applied for JUVENILE court officials had earlier conferred with Davis County Commissioners to see if room for the juvenile court could be made available in the courthouse addition. The 1977 Utah State Legislature had made $15,000 in funds available last year to help provide an area for the court.
