CLEARFIELD'S CHIEF BUILDING INSPECTOR, Howard 'citys municipal building. Footings will be laid this week. E. McMillan and John Beutler, City Councilman, look over plans for the new addition to the Voters will receive another chance Schools woDD be hyrting if Deeway election isn't passed Davis County voters will get another chance at a voted leeway election on Oct. 3. The Davis County Board of Education made that decision Tuesday night after being told by Superintendent Lawrence Welling that there is still no definite word from Washington concerning federal impact funds. A representative of Rep. Gunn McKays office contacted me yesterday (Monday) with very promising news," Welling said. But nothing is for sure until its in the bank." Welling said that it appears that some of the 874 (impact aid) funds will be forthcoming. (funds alloted for the We were told that A in Davis students of number County) will more than said. he come through," likely If it doesnt, the schools will be left without funds for maintenance and operation, he said. Another option discussed by the board to recoup the possible loss of federal funds was the emergency mill levy authorized by the state legislature for such a situation. The board set an emergency meeting for 8 a.m. Monday to discuss possible action. The board will be asking for three mills on the Oct. 3 . voted leeway election. Board Chairman Lucile Reading emphasized all board members are committed to the necessity of the voted leeway but stressed It is sad the voters didnt understand in the last election they would be helped rather than jeopardized by this action. Mrs. Reading stressed that if the tax limitation act is passed in November, it will kill the voted leeway. The tax limitation bill sounds good but it is fraught with dangers," she said. The state would return two mills to the Davis County school system, meaning if the three mill voted leeway election is approved by the voters there will be $1.7 million in the coffers, according to Board member Cheryl Allen. We have tightened our belts as much as possible without some real drastic changes, said Allen. All of the other districts, except Weber, along the Wasatch Front have the voted leeway. None of them are suffering the cutbacks and lack of funds that we are because of it, she said. The 874 funds should have increased to compensate for inflation and student growth but instead it has decreased. Board Listens to Clinton Group The board listened to several Clinton residents who made a plea for improvements in their school building. Acting as the groups spokesman, Brent Buckner told the board members You are our representatives yet we have received no action in the past. We are hopeful that we will receive some answers to our problems from you this time. Mayor Keith Cisney cited the fact that Clinton is the second fastest growing community in Davis County with over 50 percent of its 5,709 citizens being under the age of 18. Even with inflation we have had our fastest growing year so far in 1980. We do not have the big Sommerset Farm homes; ours are starter homes for There will be lots of young couples and empty-nesterchildren in Clinton for quite some time, he said. were: no teachers lounge or mens rest room, children must go through the bathrooms to get to the playground, delivery trucks must pass through the play area to make deliveries, huge windows with no shades making the sun unbearably hot for certain rooms, and the fact the library is unable to store film due to the heat. Welling assured the group that an extensive study into the needs of Clinton School is being done. Clinton has growing pains, but we are not in a position to build schools for children we build them for school-ag- e children. pre-scho- ol Chairman Lucille Reading told the group, "You wondered if you had been listened to. You have. The board has been faced with money problems, change of personnel, growth changes and many more problems. But we will study, we do listen. School Lunch Fees Increased The high cost of food, labor and equipment coupled with reduced federal support were cited as reasons given for the increased school lunch charges. The board set the following prices for the 1980-8school lunches: elementary 60 cents; junior high, 70 cents; senior high, 80 cents and adult, $1.30. s. There are 474 lots in Clinton right now with 286 homes being built and 188 vacant lots in approved subdivisions, he said. The need for 35 classrooms was stressed by Cisney. Clinton school has 15 classrooms with three portable modules. There were 1 items discussed here a year ago and nothing has been done, he said. Some of the complaints listed by the Clinton group 1 10-1- Conservative budget responsible for Creeping mill levy down Clearfield city officials passed a resolution Tuesday night to maintain the mill levy at 16.67 mills.
