DONETA GATHERUM SUNSET The Sunset City council voted unanimously to allow Mayor Norman Sant to sign the garbage disposal contract and resolution that was written by the newly created Davis County solid waste management board. From very small beginnings, Faith Baptist Church now has grown to its new facilities, largely built through countless hours of volunteer labor. NEW CHURCH THIS ACTION that was taken last Tuesday evening means Sunset City is in favor of and will support the construction of a burn plant that is to be located just east of Hill Air Force Base on property that is in unincorporated Davis County. Councilman Clifford Spendlove, a member of the solid waste management board, explained the contract and the reasons Sunset City has for joining the district and sign- ing the garbage disposal pact. - By DONETA GATHERUM - The Faith Baptist LAYTON Church motto of Not equal giving but equal sacrifice" and "In faith we grow proved to be an appropriate axiom for the family of Tony and Gloria Sorenson.

Tuesday night, as four out of five voters supported him in a second term bid, and let that feeling prevail in virtually all other local and state partisan races. A VAST majority of residents took their voting privleges seriously, as well, with more than 85 percent of the 73,568 voters using their option on what was a warm, partly cloudy day. About 50 absentee votes were still expected at the county clerks office Wednesday morning, in addition. Looking at the home front" first, state GOP Legislative nominees had things pretty well "sewed up" by midnight, but several north county races were relatively close while in another, what had earlier been a close race in the 13th representative district, proved to be a solid win for the incumbent. Davis-Web- er ALTHOUGH Republicans swept" north county races, tal- lies were closer, while two newcomers seeking the Syracuse area representative seat fought a fairly close battle. In south county, meanwhile, a mandate" seemed to clearly demonstrate itself in several senatorial and representative races. In Representative District 13. where Incumbent Kaye Browning was seeking a second term, the race proved a relatively strong win in final counts, as he garnered 2.078 votes against his competitor Kenneth D. Bradshaw, who polled .409, for nearly a 60 percent win. That race was almost within 100 votes earlier in the evening, though, and considered one of the closest legislative races. 1 IN DISTRICT 14, meanwhile. Morris Hansen didnt seek another term, leaving the race to two newcomers, although theyre both longtime residents. Scott W. Holt, the Republican, pulled ahead with probably the narrowest victory in the county, garnering 53 percent of the votes 4.069 to Dan C. Gardner's 46.9 percent on the Democratic ticket. In other north county races, meanwhile, voters were a bit more decisive for one or another candidate. District 15. however, including the South Weber area in Davis County, saw veteran Henry J. Dickamore unopposed, he received 3,872 votes, and ran on the GOP ticket. THE KNOWLTON brothers, meanwhile, both fared well in their In legislative bids for District 16, including Layton area, long-tim- e House member Franklin D. easily won his bid for gaining 69.7 percent, or 5,531 votes, whie his two challengers split about 2.4(H) votes: UDOT projections THE COMPARISONS were incorrect, with monthly figures compared with yearly salaries. This gave the erronous impression that Layton department heads earn much more than the top employees in other cites. The correct information shows that Layton department head" salaries are under market value in most cases when compared with the other cities studied in the July 1984 Utah Division of Personnel Management report. BETWEEN 10 and 15 salaries were compared for each position in the personnel management study. There was a tremendous range in all categories. Laytons police chief earns $45,192 per year. The midpoint range for this position from the Personnel Management salary survey was $29,700 to $41,376, with $35,929 being the midpoint average. THERE WILL be careful inspections at the plant.

The midpoint ranges from the salary survey went from $32,652 to $43,872 with a midpoint average of $38,340. Parks and recreation directors used in the comparison survey averaged a salary of $33,525. Layton's Parks and Recreation department head earns $33,480. THE PERSONNEL Management survey pointed out that department heads in Layton were often paid under the market value. Medium and low range salaried employees were paid slightly above the marketplace rate. It is important to remember that all cities are unique.

The amount charged must be large enough to off set the retirement of the bonds and the operation of the plant. These figures won't be known until the bonds are sold, the interest rate is established and of the participating cities is established. The tipping rate started at $9 a ton. Now the projection is upto$l2 a ton. This would mean a change of about one dollar per month per household. 31 aircraft.
