In a unanimous action, Clearfield City Council voted Tuesday night to approve a $1,000,000 industrial bond issue for Colotrym, a division of Futura Industries Corp. out of Seattle, Wash. HARRY president manager, SCOVILL, vice and general a presented background of the company which has moved into the complex at Freeport Center. H- -l 1 He stated that the concern has been in business for 29 years and was the first extruder of aluminum moldings and is the first extruder company of Utah. They plan to begin with a workforce of 60 which should increase to 100 by the end of the year. The projected annual by payroll is $500,000 December, 1976; $2,000,000 by the end of the second year, and 312 million dollars by the end of five years. THE COMPANY expects to one million dollars worth of equipment for start up and project a twelve million dollar annual opera- utilize tion within a reasonable length of time. They expect to maintain a steady workforce with no seasonal layoffs and plan on local residents for the operation. Also speaking for the company was J.B. Monnette, executive vice president of hiring primarily Futura Industries Corp., who came before the council to request a letter of intent approving the bond issue. ' HE INDICATED that the First Security Bank of Utah or Idaho, or both, would purchase the bonds and that Clearfield City would incur no risk or liability. Gayle Starks, city manager, commented that industrial bond issues are authorized by state statutes to encourage industry to develop within cities and that the city acts only as a vehicle. municipal facilities to see what modifications could be made to accommodate the handicapped. Councilman seconded the motion and ad-de- d the Chamber of Com- merce also cooperate. THE MOTION included instructions to Mr. Starks to be sure that the Planning Commission the receives guidelines including mandatory regulations and suggested concessions. Mr. Stodgell volunteered to resume an educational program in schools and Mayor Sanders instructed Mr. Starks to contact the school principals. As soon as cutting, filling and widening are completed, the road .will be resufaced to Highway 89 on a joint county and city project. MAYOR CUNDALL pointed out, that during the widening of the road, there will be heavy truck traffic and a considerable amount of construction work which will result in dust and in- information from council about the city. The business operates much like Welcome Wagon, and Mr. Starks was concerned about possible conflict. COUNCILWOMAN Marlynn Lema commented that both groups derive income from advertising and posed the question, who can determine which one has priority? Mayor Sanders instructed Mr. Starks to pass on the appropriate information. Asking council for a letter to support a request for a sidewalk on 700 So. was Jo Nelson, a resident at Sundowner Condominiums, who was accompanied by Justin Hopkins, chairman of the Mangaement Committee at Sundowner. Mayor Sanders agreed to send a letter to the Department of Transportation , and Mr. Starks suggests getting as much support as she f could from other, residents in., the area in the form of peti- -' tions and letters. WITH 700 S. being a state highway (193), Clearfield City cannot build sidewalks there. Councilwoman Lema suggested that Mrs. Nelson contact the base commander and get his feeling regarding possible support of the sidewalk request. In other action, a public hearing was set for May 25 at 8 p.m. to hear a rezoning petition.

Council discussed the possibility of reducing the density allowed in R-- 4 zoning and has referred the matter to the city attorney. The question was brought up because of the citizen protest at the Bob Jack-so- n rezoning public hearing. Prevention Building Inspector Syracuse City chief of police Henry A. Martin is most desirous of getting started with a Crime Prevention HE IS anxious to schedule a series of meetings with the various Clubs, Relief Society organizations, etc. to show films relative to this sort of thing. He also wants to conduct security surveys of any or all residents in the community, and will do this on an ap- pointment basis with the residents.

County Is Seeding Davis County is in the process of looking for another building inspector to handle the increased number of requests for inspections. THE NEW job would on a part-tim- e basis start but would eventually work into e employment. The request for the additional inspector was made to the commissioners by Joe Moore, Davis County Planning Director, and Neal Sessions, a county building inspector. The commissioners approved a motion that the request be referred to County full-tim- Personnel Director Forest Rose. ONE OF the concerns of the commissioners was whether a parttime man could handle to excess inspections, they felt a e man would be better. The decision is left to the planning department and Mr. full-tim- Rose. Mr. Moore indicated that he had plans to go to the Utah Technical College to seek a student to aid with the inspections. When the persons education was over that per- son would have full-tim- e employment with the county. THE COUNTY Planning Department handles all of the Clinton Writer convenience. Therefore, he urged all residents of the King Clarion area to use Highway 89 and 2nd North street as much as matter, pointed out a need for the planning commission and safety council to coordinate planning.

The Planning Department noted that the growth rate in these two cities, as well as all over the county, is growing at a rapid pace. THE NUMBER of building permits issued is an indication of the amount of growth taking place. North Salt Lake in the year 1974 issued 162 building permits, last year it jumped to 540, this year will be even higher. West Bountiful in 1971 issued 132 permits, last year the total was 387. This year is well ahead of that pace. . MR. MOORE also indicated that the County usually charges the city $5. an hour to make the inspections. This rate has been changed to $6. per hour.dw DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL 197 B North Main SL, Layton PHONE 376-91- 33 Published Weekly by CUPPER PUBUSHING CO.
