Show DAVIS REFLEX JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 7, 1984 In Normas Opinon I&R Boosts Its Keep Kaysvilles Library Files To Meet Most Questions By NORMA IRKKCK KAYSV1LLE - I would like to respond to a few issues concerning -- the Kaysville City Library. This facility was opened in 1912 and has been a great asset to many generations in this area. As growth expanded in Davis County. True. it became necessary to open a county library. Both the city and county libraries serves its purpose and most residents are grateful to have access to either. KAYSVILLE City Mayor, council people and the library board agree the library has become inadequate to supply all the needs of the people, ''hey realize this and are taking steps to expand, so that it can provide a greater apply of books and materials for f,e public. -- h.ixe the opportunity or I should s.iy take the opportunity of attending most of the civic meetings in the city regularly. This affords me the opportunity of knowing what is being accomplished in many areas. I I AS FOR THE city library, there is a great need for it to stay in our city. I line! if they do not have the material one needs, the librarians are most gracious and willing to ha e it nought in. The .brary Board members are well educated and very knowledg- 1 able and have been working very hard the past years to accommodate the public, as well as lay the groundwork for expansion of the facilities. THERE ARE a few citizens in the community who oppose Kaysville city keeping their own library. They feel Kaysville city should join Layton in building a county library in the Lay,on area. During the last city council meeting. Kathleen Rose presented a petition to the Mayor and council w ilh 3 5 signatures. She called the grossly inadequate" and library also suggested the city pay the fee for those who would rather use the county library. City residents are required to pay a library card fee of $25 to use the county library. MAYOR Pl'RDY responded to this by saying, the fee was raised by the county to $25 in an attempt to get Kassville City to join the county system. As the mayor pointed out. this seems unfair when Weber and Salt Lake County Libraries charge a small fee in comparison. Mrs. Rose also stated, there is never any publicity regarding the library. This is untrue. In September the city sent out a survey in the newsletter along with the utility bill, so that it would reach every resident in the city. Some 400 re- - plies to the survey resulted in a vote in favor of the city library. 9-- WHEN MRS. Rose was asked, if she read the newsletter, she responded, who reads that on the third page. She must of read it on the third page to know about the article being on the third page. Donald Edwards and Library Board members meet frequently with the city council and give an update on the progress of the library. These are open meetings and the public is welcome. MR. ROSE stated, most children in Kaysville now live in outlying areas and cannot walk to the city library. I say, it would take less time to take them to the city library, but seeing they prefer a county library. Farmington library is just a few mi KAYSVILLE - The annual upcoming "Turkey Days in Kaysville, which is sponsored by the Kaysville Chamber of Commerce, will be held Saturday, Nov. 17. -- ing for 1984 year.

ARKOUDAS said, Turkey Days has been a great success in years past and we hope by doing it this way, we can involve more merchants and participants. For additional information con- tact either Mrs. Arkoudas and Doug Stanger. np 1 APPROVAL had been given earlier by the city department heads, the city engineer and the planning commission. One question that was discussed at council meeting was the size of the water sewer line for the new store. The current line is 4 inch. City ordinance requires a line in commercial buildings. Because of store and the fact that the nature of the there has never been problems with the existing 4 inch line, the recommendation of Public Works Director, Jerry Ellsworth was to allow the 4 inch line. If the store is converted to a business that requires more sanitary sewer service then the 4 inch line will have to be replaced with a 6 inch wffinnHis tod HUE y, us- purposes. These methods disgard the Democratic process. Listed are a few of many wrongs: 1. SCARE tactics: Non use of landfill to Layton. No landfill when we have 190 acres. 2. Broken promises: If two cities did not wish to participate, garbage plant would become null and void. 3. THREATS: Non use of landfill or higher prices to those cities not joining Special District. 4. Misinformation: Pollution, deadline dates, contracts, additive cost. $35 million with low interest rate to form District - now District formed Bond debt is $65 million. No protest from any elected official joining District - why? 5. VIOLATION of Democratic process: 500 ton plant voted out; 400 ton plant voted out and Special District voted out by majority. Commissioners made decision for Burn Plant before Special District was formed, thus violating their own proposal and purpose of forming District. The above facts can be verified by newspapers, meetings, minutes of meetings, elected officials, and public witnesses. Shame to all who have joined such practices. A Public Official's first consideration should be to the people and their protection rather than support of power groups" to force Burn Plant in residential area. Their ridiculous protection appeasement to financially damaged homes and quality of life is tall trees, landscaped garbage plant, big signs to designate Burn Plant and a stop light - what generous restitution. IF YOU believe your part of the Democratic process and prefer correct principles over forced incorrect methods then the November 6 vote county for Incumbent Commissioners should tally zero.
