THE objective of the program is to provide assistance in drought and flood area designated by the Secretary of Agriculture to: Build or restore the productive capacity of soil; conserve agriculture water; prevent MR. WILSON pointed to a typical case in Davis County. The father had the obligation to pay child support for one child, but the child was being supported through public assistance. The father had not paid support for a year. He had filed bankruptcy, saying he was unable to pay the $25 a month support since he had too other environmental problems resulting from winderosion and other extended drought problems; and rehabilitate farmland many financial obligations. The BRS gathered information about where the man worked and made a thorough check on his income and financial obligations. Mr. tt'ilson presented the evidence in the case, the man was held in contempt of court for not paying his obligations and was sentenced to 20 days damaged by flood. Davis County has been designated a disaster area because of the serious shortage of water available to the county this year. MR.

THE SENTENCE resulted in a change of heart. The father agreed to make the monthly support payments. Cases are kept on a rotating review basis. Should the father not continue the payments, he will be back in jail, Mr. Wilson said. Keith Cisney, Regional Manager for the BRS, says the law, passed in 1974 opened up a new route of forcing fathers to be responsible for support. He said in 90 percent of the cases when the man and wife are separated, the woman will apply for welfare and sign over the right to collect support money from the man to the federal government when she becomes eligible for public assistance. t By DONETA M.

JOHN BLAIR met with the council to get their approval on allowing him to build his Learning Center Building on Lot 35 of the Cherrywood subdivision, a split level building facing South Main Street. The council could see no objection to this, as private schools are allowed in residential zones as a conditional use and since it was approved by the Planning Board and complied with parking regulations, etc. It was passed by the council MARSHAL Lyle Larkins and Officer Robert Medmck met with the council and Marshal Larkins stated that some of the neighboring cities had established a youth bureau in their police department, with one officer handling all juvenile related cases, which account for 80 percent of all crimes and this has worked out very well for them. Most cities have received yearly LEPA Grants from the Federal Government through Don Cavaliis office for this. The Kaysville Police Depart- ment felt this would be beneficial to the city and since the deadline for filing was May 13, 1977, they had gone ahead and filed with the understanding that they could not accept the grant unless approved by the city council. THE GRANT would necessitate the transfer of an officer into the youth bureau job and Marshal Larkins felt this should be Officer Medmck, since he had been with the force for three years. He has completed his schooling and relates well with this age group. They also had put in for a part-tim- e secretary (two days a week, to handle the bureaus work). It was proposed that this person would also work the rest of the week at the police office on the other police work, which is presently being done by the Kaysville City Office. THE GRANT would cover 90 percent of the wages and employee benefits of the ofsecrefice and his part-tim- e tary, cost of a car, radio equipped and file, estimated of $23,204 from $2,579 from the city cost of $25,783. cost the grant, or a total The council approved the grant application.

The two juveniles are being held at MOWEDA. Anthony Mike Diaz, 19, is in custody at the Davis County Sheriffs office. rk the IV-- THE STATE pays incentive money to the counties off the top of the money they receive. Last year Davis County received about $16,000 for collecting the money. Both men say they anticipate that the volume of work in Davis County will continue to increase, but there is no plan to increase the staff in the County Attorneys office. Mr. Wilson estimated that there are about 1,300 child support cases on the books in Davis County. These cases continue to increase by about 250 to 300 cases each year. Some involve fathers who have left the state. Provision is now made in the law to handle these cases also through the URESA, a federal agency. Payment by delinquent fathers is made through the County Clerks office. About 90 percent of the cases, traced through the federal agency, are originated through the BRS. MR. CISNEY said the recovery services program is also discouraging separation of couples. Sometimes a family will split up with the agreement that the mother apply for public assistance while the father finds a job. This results in the family having two sources of income. But the bureau has cut down on this con game, by making it possible to trace the father more quickly and nailing the sham right after the application is submitted. When the pressure is applied the guy usually gets right back with his family and the case is closed, Mr. Cisney said. "Many separations result when couples take on too many financial responsibilities and decide to let the state support them. The MR. WILSON said about 25 to 35 percent of the hard core cases eventually end up in the courts. Mr. Wilson works on welfare recovery cases about 20 hours a week. Both men see the need for more time to be spent on the program since following up on each case is a central part results when the man is not employed and seems to be making no effort to find In some cases you can employment. sentence him to work and force him to pay over the money for child support. Sometimes if a man is employed, he is still not able to make the money necessary for the support. In this case you determine whether he is making a good faith effort and get what you can from him. Mr. Cisney explained, In most cases women dont want to be on assistance and they feel a lot of anger. They express their frustrations by saying, Its not fair. Theyre his children as well as mine. These women have more hope now that the bureau is able to force their husbands to pay the support payments. support, the matter is referred to Mr. Wilson, who takes the matter to court. He is assisted by BRS personnel, who prepares information calling for an administrative default order. If this information is presented to the judge and the man found in contempt of court, he is forced to pay the support. laws the father has no Under the IV-choice but to pay the support. The payment cant be negated by bankruptcy or by marginal income, Mr. Cisney said.

The cost of a new truck is estimated at $34,000. Mayor Glen Cundall recommended that the city consider using revenue sharing funds.

The council reviewed the new laws concerning posting and publishing of agendas and what these should consist of and Councilman Gerald Purdy moved that in order to comply with the new law, that any item for the agenda be submitted by 5 p.m. on the Friday preceding the Tuesday council meeting and a notice be mailed to the Ogden Standard Examiner on that day as there is no way it could be published in the Weekly Reflex in time. WAS THIS passed unanimously by the council members. The council also felt that the Utah League of Cities be advised that the council feels this new law is unwieldy and unnecessary. IT WAS recommended that the fee for the board of adjustment hearing, zoning hearing or annexation be set at $25 due to the increase in publication costs, sending of notices, etc. Councilman Purdy moved that a fee of $25 must accompany any applications submitted after this date for any of the above matters. It was passed by the council. THE COUNCIL agreed they should subscribe to the Drought Information Newsletter put out by Utah State University with regards to water conditions, conservation, etc., which is apparently available at no cost. Mayor Cundall and Supt. Max Major reported that 106 from the Highway Cross Roads at Farmington Junction, north to Layton city limits now has priority No. 2 rating for federal funding SUPT. MAJOR pointed out that the reason for the prioritizing is that No. 1 projects are all engineered and ready to go, the No. 2's are not. This project will cost about three million dollars. The Kaysville city share is about ten percent and collector road monies can be used on this although the citys By ROSELYN KIRK Nine families, who live in an unincorporated area between Kaysville and Layton at 750 East Mutton Hollow Road, are hopeful they will get a road built in that subdivision after waiting for two years. The county offered to help the residents by reducing the price on the gravel and asphalt and constructing flooding problem as if the curb and gutter forced the water down Mutton Hollow Road. The residents scheduled an all the residents to pay for the project. But they reconsidered when they discovered the cost of forming a district would be between $2,000 and $4,000. meeting with County Engineer Glen Austin to determine if the construction without the curb and gutter is a feasible plan. Commissioner Flint will work with the residents and be present when they meet Mr. Austin. on-si- the road. COMMISSIONER Glen Flint estimated that the cost to the residents would be about $764, plus the cost of a driveway, if the residents accept the countys offer. The problem yet to be solved is whether curb and gutter is required in the area by the subdivision ordinance. County Planning Director Joseph Moore said curb and gutter is an option in agricultural areas. HE SUGGESTED that, if no curb and gutter were required, the water could dram off the hill onto the lots and not cause as much of a present funds are all com- mitted to the Second North project. The city could save future allocations for this and if the council was receptive to this plan, would start working on the paper work getting it through the Wasatch Front, etc., so they could move when funds are available. The council approved of this plan. SUPT. MAJOR discussed with the council the change in the zoning, subdivision and construction standards, np COMMISSIONER Wendell Zaugg said as long as the water is not diverted, the residents would not be responsible for a law suit. Commissioner Flint said if more asphalt is put in, it will increase the speed of the runoff. He said that whether the the curb and gutter or just the pavement, he is hopeful the road will go in one way or another. Mrs. Vivian Carver, 1458 North 750 East, questioned whether the plan would not result in J j J j S J weeds. MR. MOORE said if the e inspections show the plan is feasible, residents could plant grass all the way to the road. Residents living on the street have waited since the sewer was installed two years ago to persuade others in the area to share in the cost. Most residents seemed to agree to go along with the cost if the county decides to help by building the road. One resident said earlier that he would not share in the cost of curb and gutter.
