Then Centerville and West Point decided they wanted out of the district when it was decided there are still plans to go ahead with the proposed burn plant. A citizens opposition group has filed court action against the district and it's still up in the air as to what the outcome of the district and burn plant will be. Manager Randall Heaps and the resignation of Mayor Lewis Shields. Mr. Heaps was given a jail sentence and fined for alleged misuse of public funds and Mayor Shields resigned when allegations were brought forth that he, too. may have been in violation of his responsibilities as mayor by taking a "side trip" while on city business and allegedly using a loan from the city to finance the trip. RANKED NO. 2 among top news stories of 1984 would be the concern and plans for controling the continuing rise of the Great Salt Lake. The lake level has risen drastically - nearly 10 feet in the past two years - and is forecast to rise another three or four feet, at least, this spring. If that happens, the lake level w ill exceed the e high of 4,21 1.7 feet (above sea level). NO. 6 could be the proposal within the Daxis School District for teachers to be rated by steps of a "carreer ladder." This proposal has met with some opposition, while others seem to taxor the proposal. Most cities have problems that plague city officials for a long period of time. Such is the case of Centerville - and their constant water. This battle could battle against be ranked No. 7. - -- There may be a difference of opinion the Top 10 news stories of Davis County in 1984 but theres no question about the No. story of the year. y 1 -- BUT MAKING a new appearance in Davis County this past g news items as Bountiful year were several Redevelopment Agency (RDA) projects; the continuing rise of the Great Salt Lake; flood control projects; new problems and programs in education; and proposals and fears of a new county long-runnin- jail.

Included in the development will be renovation of Carr Printing Company Building. Proposals for a new county jail or a minimum security prison facility - or combination of both - has been thoroughly studied. The most recent proposal is a jail, that can be expanded to 360 beds and will cost an estimated $10 million to $12 million. There has been some public opposition to the proposed sites for the jail, but no definite site has been selected. it - re OTHER stories for consideration might be Bountifuls plans for Redevelopment Agency (RDA) projects between 100 South and 100 North on Main Street; a proposed iareer ladder for Davis County school teachers; and efforts by Davis County Shersearch and rescue missions iffs Department of several and the Task Forces efforts to curb drugs, alcohol and gambling in the county.
