Mr. Jefferies explained the newest proposal for controlling and administrating the control of solid waste material in Davis County. THE NEW concept is to organize a special service district in Davis County. Each city in the county has 30 days to decide whether or not to join. One representative from each city would serve on the district governing board. Deci- sions would be made by the board with the consent of the city councils. The district would have the responsibility of developing a waste to energy program. There would be several options. One possibility would be to continue negotiations with Corporation for the proposed burn plant. Another avenue the district might pursue is to develop another waste to energy program similar to the plan. A third choice would be to upgrade the land fill and continue the policy of dumping garKaty-Seghe- rs Katy-Seghe- rs bage. MR. JEFFERIES seemed to favor continued partnership with He said this would be the most economical and practical since so much research, work and money has already gone into the plan. Mr. Jefferies said the minutes, news reports and public hearing reports had been looked at carefully to determine what the objections were to the burn plant proposal. The main problem seemed to be private ownership of the burn plant. If a special service district were established,4he burn plant would be publicly owned and or another waste to energy company would be the leasee. Katy-Segher- s. Katy-Seghe- rs Katy-Seghe- rs LACK OF participation in this service district shouldn't prevent those who want to solve the longterm problem of waste disposal from acting, Mr. Jefferies stated. He stressed that if all the cities in the county agreed to join the district there would be fewer problems. The district would be able to function if only a few cities elected to join the district. The council seemed to interpret Mr. Jefferies statements as a request to approve a burn plant. The question asked was Where will you build it? MR. JEFFERIES stated the best site was still the state road shops on SR 193 in Clearfield. He said other possibilities were the pond site that Layton just recently purchased and a site at the land fill. If Clearfield and Layton strongly object to the burn plant being in their cities, it probably wont happen. We dont want to force it on anyone, Mr. Jefferies said. He told the council that a special service district would have the power of eminant domain so property could be condemned over the objection of cities and property owners. This wont happen. We believe it is best for everyone to work together toward a common solution. THE PROBLEM with locating the burn plant at the North Davis Land Fill is that it is so far away from Hill Air Force Base, the primary user of steam. The pipe line would have to be buried and this would be very expensive. Councilman Bob Stevenson asked if the burn plant might be located on county property east of the HAFB runway. If the property were annexed to Layton then there would be some monetary benefits to gain. Citizen objection to a burn plant in this area would not be as great, Mr. Stevenson reasoned. THERE WOULD be some problems with the run way, Mr. Jefferies said, but this suggestion is still being considered. Mr. Jefferies stressed that the role of the special service district would not be just to determine where to place a bum plant. The real decisions the district would make would be what to do with land fills, garbage collections, etc. Building a bum plant would be only one responsibility of the district members if this option for garbage control were selected by the district representatives.

THIS ACTION was taken Thursday evening at the regular meeting of the city council. Quail Point is located at 3100 N. 2250 E. The subdivision is zoned for single family homes. The first phase that was up for lots. approval consists of FINAL APPROVAL of this subdivision was not listed on the official agenda. The plans needed to get council approval were not turned into the city planning office until Thursday. Residents living in subdivision heard nearby the council was going to consider approving the subdivision so they turned out in large numbers to voice opposition to approving the subdivision until several problems were solved. Because the people were in attendance at the meeting, council members felt they should take action so the citizens would not have to attend another meeting. STEVE BEEZER represented the developer of Quail Point at the council meeting. Mrs. Lindy Roberts, a resident acted as spokesperson for the citizen group. MRS. ROBERTS brought up three serious questions about granting approval of the subdivision. 1. Is there adequate water pressure in the area to give fire protection? 2. Is the storm sewer and the sanitary sewer system alright? 3. What about another major access road into this fast growing area? R-l-- started. SEVERAL residents ofTri-Oak- s stated their water pressure that day was completely gone. The developers have proposed a system of four drainage basins each with a holding pond to control storm water. Councilman Golden Sill questioned if a holding pond in sandy soil was a plan that would keep water from draining into the adjacent Thornely property. MR. BEEZER stated the sewer system had received approval of the city engineer. The sanitary sewer would have out fall along the west boundary of the subdivision. Citizens expressed great concern about the lack of adequate roads into the proposed devleop-menWhen will a second access t. be developed? How will this road be constructed? were the questions residents asked. The people stated that 2400 North was completely ruined because of heavy construction equipment that has been using the road for access into new home construction areas. The people indicated they had called the public works department many times and nothing had been done to repair the deteriorating road. COUNCILWOMAN Ann Harris made the motion to table action on Quail Point until these problems could be worked out between the city planner and other department heads, the developer and the citizens. This motion was unanimously approved. The city council did give final of the East approval to Phase Meadows subdivision. There aie seven lots in the first phase. The subdivision is located at 1050 E. 1000 N. Mr. Carter informed the council that problems w ith fencing and barracading had been worked out with the developer, the neighbors and the planning commission. FINALLY, the council approved a Class A beer license for the Country Cuzzins store. This new business is located across from the new hotel near the Antelope Drive in1 terchange. Councilman Sam Tru- jillo opposed the license request because the store is close to North Layton Junior High School and school officials had not been notified that the store was asking for a beer license, dmg Tri-Oa- - William Lee Glad, principal of Monte Vista, KAY$VILLE will speak at the Kaysville Jaycees and Jaycee Womens combined meeting, Wednesday, Aug. 22, 8 p.m. in the Kaysville City Hall, 44 North Main.
