Show DAVIS REFLEX JOURNAL, SEPTEMBER 19, 1984 Bonds Aid Apart meets By TOM BUSSELBERG FARMINGTON More than 900 new apartment units could be added to the tight apartment market, within the next 18 months, if planned Davis County Housing Authority bond sale moves forward and final details with developers can be completed. SIX DEVELOPERS have so far thrown their intentions behind major apartment projects in Clinton, Layton, Farmington, Woods Cross and North Salt Lake, totalling $27 million. Some final details must be worked out, but its hoped approvals can be County Poised To Set Up Garbage Dist. R. BLODGETT Clipper News Editor By GARY FARMINGTON Although an official decision cannot be made until Monday, Sept. 24, it was evident at a press conference called Friday that the Davis County Commission will approve a special service district for the purpose of disposing of solid waste in the county. THE OFFICIAL vote by the Commission cannot be made until Sept. 24 because the State Statute specifies that a waiting period must elapse from the time of a public hearing until the vote is taken. That public hearing was held Sept. 5. During the waiting period anyone within the boundaries of the district may protest in writing (or petition) against the formation of the district. A citizens opposition group is circulating petitions in this behalf. COM. HARRY Gerlach admitted at the press conference that although the decision cannot be made until Sept. 24, it is obvious from his press release and comments made at the meeting that the Commission favors a special service district and subsequently a resource recovery (garbage bum) plant to be constructed near Hill Air Force Base. That is not to say that we wont honor the petitions that may be turned into the commission or the lack of a site for the proposed plant, Comm. Gerlach emphasized. HE TOLD the press and others that it would be economically feasible to build a per day plant adjacent to Hill AFB if that is what the district board of directors decide. Wilbur Jefferies, executive director of the Wasatch Front Regional Council, said the district must accept garbage from all municipalities within Davis County - whether or not they elected and may seek garbage from to participate within the district other sources until the plant reaches capacity. HE EMPHASIZED, however, that entities -including Bountiful, Layton and Clearfield may have to pay a higher (tipping) fee than those cities that have elected to be a part of the district. Since Clearfield and Layton are not participating communities, y it is unlikely the proposed. mass bum plant will be built in these cities. Com. Gerlach said he takes the stand that if these cities do not want to participate in the district, the plant should be constructed elsewhere. A TENTATIVE site was selected adjacent to Hill AFB within Clearfield City limits but that citys Planning Commission refused to grant a conditional use permit for construction of the building. Clearfield and Layton City Councils have said they do not want the plant located in their cities. There is some government-owne- d land (state and federal) near the military installation on which the site could be located, it was explained. Proponents of the plant emphasize that it is necessary to be located near Hill AFB since the steam will be sold to the base. COM. GERLACH read a prepared statement he said outlined the feelings of the Commission regarding the status of the proposed district and subsequent construction of a bum plant. We are not trying to hide and disguise anything, the commissioner said. The statement, in part, indicated that the district would do the following: 1. CONSOLIDATE and, in the case of the north landfill, legal- -' ize landfill activities. Mason-Dixo- n line that presently 2. Eliminate the inter-city frustrates cooperation. 3. ALLOW THE district board of directors to evaluate prob-- : decisions without exces- -' lems and make fiscal and sive delays. 4. The board of directors would be created with legal standing and representation from each of the participating cities. 5. ALLOW IMMEDIATE board action if new technology must f be incorporated to dispose of solid waste.

THE SITUATION started when three city council members, Golden Sill, Bob Stevenson and Sam Trujillo approached the county attorney, Loren Martin, with questions about administrative policies and practices in Layton City. Mr. Martin requested a $5,000 audit of city books. The expense of the audit was assessed to Layton City. After the audit report was complete, Mr. Martin met several times with Layton council members and the Mayor. It was suggested on Aug. 26th, that the county attorney would file criminal charges against Mr. Randall Heaps, city recorder and administrative assistant to the mayor. The council voted to suspend Mr. Heaps without pay until the question was resolved. MONDAY EVENING, Sept.. 10, at a press conference. Mayor Lewis G. Shields said he was not in agreement with suspending Nr. Heaps without pay. The Mayor said he would consider the suspension if Mr. Heaps received pay. Layton Citys ordinance says an employee can be removed from office with a majority council vote and the concurrence of the Mayor or the recommendation of the Mayor with a majority vote of city council members. A CRIMINAL complaint was tiled Monday, Sept. 10, by the county attorney citing five third degree felony counts of misusing public money. An additional neglect and misconduct complaint alleges Mr. Heaps, Did between May, 1978 and August, 1984, and while Layton City had a City Treasurer, sign all checks of Layton City contrary to the laws of the State of Utah. Conviction on this neglect and misconduct misdemeanor requires removal from office, according to Mr. Martin. ONE DAY before the Layton decision to invite the state auditor to assist in reorganizing Layton Citys administrative office, state auditor, W. Val Oveson announced he would audit Laytons fiscal proceedings wjth or without an invitation from the city. Arraignment for Randall Heaps was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon as we went to press. 1986.
