By NORMA PREECE The Kaysville City Council met Tuesday evening for their regular council meeting. MAYOR GERALD Purdy was absent from the meeting. Mayor Pro Tern, Carol Page stated that the Mayor had received a letter from Pat Bates, Gary Wright and Howard Kent expressing their disappointment in the vandalism of the recently placed Welcome to Kaysville" sign and donating $300 toward replacement of the sign. The Council expressed sincere appreciation for this donation and said that the sign is being restored by Ernie Davenport at his shop in Kaysville. THE COUNCIL then discussed a location of the last sign that is to be installed in the city. Dr. H.C. Burton and two other representatives of Burton Property east of the city that is located at 200 North and Highway 89 (to the south) met with the council to discuss the proposal of annexation for the 7.29 acres of land. that (This land is directly east of the are already built in that area.) John Thacker, city administrator, stated that this matter has been presented to the Planning Commission and that they had recommended that the area be zoned 2 with a PUD overlay. four-plex- es R-- THE COUNCIL moved for the annexation and recommended going to the 2 Zone and set a public hearing for Sept. 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the city chambers for the zone designation. The council also discussed the waterline contract. Administrator Thacker explained that the original waterline project was done in 1982 in West Kaysville, but since that time, labor costs have tripled. The city was given $146,000 in grant money for this project but all three schedules total $213,000, therefore, he stated the. city has to reduce the project. He informed' the council that this is a very expensive piece of piping, in that it has to go under a double railroad track, a single railroad track and a freeway, but that it is also a very important link. R-- COUNCILMAN Brit Howard made a motion approving the low bid of Claud Nix Construction Company on Schedule A and going as far as money allow on Schedule B. The motion was approved by the council. Following a discussion of the Subdivision Ordinance which had come before the council previously, the council voted to adopt Subdivision Ordinance 291. An ordinance amending Section (1) of the Kaysville City DeCode by adding Section (D) and (E) velopment for the purpose of giving the city council discretionary authority to permit other means for subdividers to guarantee installation and construction of improvements in lieu of actual completion before approval of final subdivision plat and providing an effective date. 19-6- -4 THE TWIN Creeks Sewer Extension was discussed by the council. Mr. Thacker pointed out this area has the only sewer pump left in Kaysville City and has been seeping sewage. He advised the council the opening of bids for the project were to be let on Aug. 8 and he expected the project to be rather costly, but it was a necessary item to be taken care of, in that it was necessary to do away with this sewer pump. The council had given authorization for the purchase of a pickup truck for the Public Works Department and also a car for the citys use, and therefore had taken bids. MR. THACKER distributed copies of car and truck comparisons for the council to review and stated that he had looked at both new and used vehicles. The council approved the purchase of the two vehicles as proposed by Mr. Thacker. The council reviewed two new license applications that had been requested. MAYOR PRO Tern, Carol Page informed the council that the Jobs Corps wjll come to Kaysville in two weeks to help begin work on the Barton Ponds Park. Administrator Thacker informed the council that he had received a request from the Desert Mills to be permitted to use high volume pressurized water about once a month for cleanup. Mr. Thacker asked the council what kind of fee they would like to impose on the Mills for this usage. The council decided to have the city engineer determine what kind of flow would be needed and then refer back to the council for a price fee. np n SP rUliii LNLKUI These high voltage wires seem to show some of the energy within them, as the wires reflect sunlight.

TOM BUSSELBERG North County Editor By CLINTON - Clintons city manager is very optimistic the city will receive a $ . million grant that not only will help finance new apartments but provide funds for curb, gutter and sewer improvements, to boot. -- 1 THE CITY will utilize $125,000 from the grant for off-sit- e improvements, including sewer, water and road improvements while the remaining $992,000 will be loaned to 1 Kier Corp. at three percent interest, Mr. Young says, paid back over 25 years. When the funds return to the city, they can be used for infrastructure-type" projects that enhance new or existing housing stock, as required by the grant, and will include sewer, curb and gutter or other projects that normally would go through LlDs. or local improvement districts. WHAT SOME might consider a pot of gold could be coming from federal Housing and Urban development department monies, but, as might be expected, there should be plenty of other hands reaching for the pot. Applications were due in the nation's capital last Tuesday. As City Manager Nolan Young explains it, the citys hoping for $1,119,000 to initially stimulate e construction of a it bedroom apartment complex at 800 h N. 750 W. of those, or 12 units, must be rented to those median income guidemeeting lines, or just over $19,000 yearly for a family of four. 60-un- two-thre- One-fift- THE DAVIS County Housing Authority alerted Clinton to the new program, approved by Congress in November and involving more than $200 million nationally, says Director Rosemary Davis, whose board of directors approved an inducement resolution in a special Friday morning meeting that helped make it possible to submit the proposal.
