AFTER council had tentatively approved the budget three weeks ago, Police Chief Lamar Chard requested that his department have a five percent pay set aside for a retirement fund in lieu of an eight percent raise. Members of the council endorsed the change because it will represent a savings to the city as well as increase the policemens take home pay. . The mayor of Layton City is Lewis G. Shields who took office in 1970. He is employed at HAFB and has been a resident of Layton since 1950. He and his wife, Elaine, have three sons, two married and one at home. - Fawns seem to invite concern from most people. They seem to be abandoned by their mothers, and would be so much fun to play with. But the warning is to leave them alone. Mother is always close LEAVE EM ALONE by. BY CONSERVATION OFFICER TOM ANGELOS Now is the time when many fawns are being bom in the surrounding mountain sides. Hikers and nature seekers need to be extremely cautious when in the hillsides. A TINY creature is such a temptation to fondle but one must refrain from doing so. Human scent upon a small animal could keep the mother from returning and caring for her young. It may appear that . a fawn has been abandoned, but its mother is not far away. The famous saying, look but dont touch applies very much to this situation. Utahs fishing season, which is now underway, produced good results on the opener. Many fishermen not were able to snag some average size fish. PLEASANT offices. THE WEBER River is producing good fishing action now along with Echo Reser-vio- r which is yielding fish averaging around two pounds. Clearfield invites By MARGO MAUGHN Clearfield Mayor O. Ross Sanders and the city council urge citizens of Clearfield to get out to the city council meeting held the second and fourth Tuesday of every month. THE COUNCIL has heard complaints over and over again about the cost and services within the city, yet few people come to the city meetings and public hearings to help them find the answers. Mayor Sanders is in his office in the Clearfield City building during the afternoon on both second and fourth Tuesday of the month prior to the city council meetings to meet with any resident who wants to express views. ALL CLEARFIELD citizens are urged to come and let the officials know how they feel, for that is the only way the people you elected can know what you want them to report from the Davis Control Coiihty Animal Division for the month of A After hearing the planning tion, the Layton City Council raised the rezoning petition fee from $50 to $150 at its meeting last Thursday night. . Itemized expenses for two recent requests were presented, both totaled over $140. Council voted unanimously on the increase. 1 I IN ANOTHER unanimous vote, council voted to revoke the Class A beer license at the Circle K store. Representatives from the Circle K Corporation were present at a council meeting a few months ago to show cause why the license should not be revoked. They agreed to implement a program within 30 days to eliminate violations but have not done so. Bea Christensen, owner of the Beakeeper Inn, was present at the council meeting to protest the license revocation for that business. No sales violations were reported but the building had not been brought up to the fire code standards.

Following are his comments directed to the residents of Layton City. Since the census of 1970, Layton City has grown steadily to a community of 17,500 approximately residents. The second largest city in Davis County. At the same rate of growth planners tell us that by 1999 Layton City could very well have a population of 35,000 to 40,000 people. OUR OBJECTIVES or goals are evident and should be geared towards these figures. We must plan accordingly. Long range planning is necessary and your city government has been engaged for some time in future planning. A recent survey conducted and by the city council department heads has given valuable information from the citizens and other surveys will and should be conducted in the future. This helps put emphasis and priorities in East Layton, was present at the hearing and suggested to In another public hearing which was attended by approximately 20 Layton and East Layton residents, the extension of 2000 N. or Antelope Drive was discussed. A proposal of where the road may be located was presented by Ladd Scoffield. Several owners in the area objected to the location, some wanted none of their land on the south side of the road and others wanted just enough depth for subdivided lots with 80 ft. council that the planning commissions of the two cities should meet together and discuss the extension. He also commented saying that East Layton should have been contacted sooner to see what its plans for development were. In yet another public hearing Thursday night, Capitol Equities petition to rezone a parcel from RLB to CL was heard. Gary Nelson, representing the company, described the piece of frontage rather than the proposed 300 ft. depth. property behind Imperial Realty on Fort Lane as THROUGHTOUT the public hearing, Mayor Glen Shields stressed that the meeting was a preliminary one and that the input of affected property owners will , be considered definitely before a final decision is made. Don DeWitt, mayor of perspective. has been selected to use as a guide and a goal. It states: Layton City shall be the best place to live through efficient service to the public at the least possible cost. The full support of thecity' council and all departments has been received. Our budget and program development has incorporated this information and found it to be of great value. I feel every citizen with an interest in the affairs of the community needs to have his or her input towards the activities of city government. Programs for good communication can and must be adopted for effective acA THEME - complishments. Presently, several such projects are being implemented. AS WAS mentioned, the recent survey has brought forth some very good information. Consistently citizens commented about their desire to encourage additional shop- ping facilities, including specific types, into the city. The location of industry in areas which would lead to this type of development. (Layton City has some of the most suitable and valuable areas for this type of development as any community in the county.) The orderly and well planned residential areas to accommodate the anticipated growth. Well kept toads and streets with new roads as the growth would require. Provide services as needed with efficiency and effectiveness always in mind. All of these items and others which would come in the fu'ure. I have accepted as nearly landlocked. The real estate firm wished to use the ground for additional parking and possibly build rental office space. The minutes of the hearing will be referred to the planning commission for its recommendation. a challenge and set my goal towards their accomplishment to the best of my ability. SOME which I SPECIFIC goals have accepted and will personally and con-'- . tinually- be interested in are; The new Antelope Drive Interchange, which is very much needed tor growth and development in the north end of the community and near the new Layton Hospital; the widening and installation of curb, gutter and sidewalks on Antelope Drive and Hill Field .Road, because our children need the protection; the con- struction of the Layton City - Museum. Many dedicated people are engaged in this project and a great deal of money and materials has been gathered; continual and upgrade when possible of fire protection, police protection, and recreational facilities for all citizens of the community. Many things can and are being done by the elected officials along with the departheids and city ment employees. They are dedicated and interested in the improvement and future of the city. They also appreciate the help and support of each and every resident in all that which is good and beneficial for the community. LET US all pledge ourselves, our time and our talents in this bicentennial year (particularly in July) towards doing our share towards making Layton City the best place to live. As we are all proud to be Americans, let us here in Layton City be proud of that which we have and are. Hooper 0, Kaysville 4, Lay-to- n 26, South Weber 1, Sunset 6, Syracuse 2, and West Point 0, 2.

The cost would be approximately $30,000 and the city has not budgeted the amount. It was decided to refer the matter to the. planing commission for its review.

He will fill the opening vacated by Richard Stevenson. MAYOR SHIELDS Initially taking office in Layton in 1970, Mayor Shields has a year and a half to serve on his current term. , |
