Two months ago the Davis County Council of Governments (COG) had named the commission as the administration agency to deal with flood control problems in the county.

Although Mr. Hess said the1 commission could loan funds from the general fund to the flood control fund prior to the mill levy, he advised against the plan. Reacting to preure or during an emergency situation should be avoided by ahead planning . and scheduling projects, he said. AN INITIAL priority list of storm drainage projects in the county was presented to the COG in January based on the three county Weber River 208 Water Quality study. COG or the county commissioners have not adopted the priority listing and say changes will be necessary. Bountiful city culverts were placed fourth on the list of priority flood control items are a result of he study. Mr. Hess said he anticipated that if the county allocated for Bountiful project using any funding funds the procedure, they would be in trouble with the rest of the cities. HE WILL study the legal question of whether the Commissioner Flint said county can collect taxes and give money to the cities. It would be best for the com-- , the next step in dealing with lood control measures would oe to contact Mr. Austin to gel his input before naming a flood control advisory mission to administer the he said. The 208 Water Quality Management study, prepared by Dr. Alten Davis and Dr. tjean White, had earlier pointed out that three options for setting priorities for solving storm drainage problems were available. The options suggested by the study were that the advisory group be composed of all COG officials, be a committee appointed COG or be an advisory group with municipal funds, Farmington Police Study Rape Report Farmington Police Depart ment is investigating the reported rape of a 16 year old girl who was allegedly picked up at Lagoon at 11 p.m. on Saturday night and driven to the foothills.

Bountiful. information presented by Pete Hensen, BASED ON the Cache County formerly Fire District, who had helped to organize a similar district in Logan, the COG was informed that any area of the county interested could opt to form a district. The possibility of financing such a district through the general fund rather than calling for a vote to raise the mill levy was discussed as an of option. County Fire Chief Russell Earl had earlier approved the organization of a fire district. He said a fire station in the county should be available every four miles so that fire equipment should not be required to make longer than e run to fight fires. a two-mil- IN PRESENTING the plan adopted by Cache County, Mr. Hansen said that the county followed state fire legislation in setting up a district, but had adopted a had different funding procedure.

Each city appropriated money for fire protection within the city while using the money, provided by the county, to finance fire protection for the unincorporated areas. Each zone purchased four pieces of fire fighting equipment. MR. HANSEN suggested that if a similar plan is set up in Davis County or in a portion of the county, a district We Will Be Closed Memorial Day 4 BIG DAYS THURSDAY 26TH THRU END OF MONTH fire chief or fire warden should be named. A coordinating head is necessary, he advised. Just in time for Fathers Mr. Hansen estimated that the cost to the citizens of Cache County is about three, mills. At present Davis County residents are paying 2'4 mills for fire protection in, the north end of the county.. Firemen and trucks from cities in the north end provide fire protection to the unincorporated area and are reimbursed by the county. IN THE south end, the county has a fire department jointly owned by the cities, except for Bountiful and North Salt Lake who levy for their own city fire departments. Bountiful Chief Darrell Mcllrath estimated that Bountiful assesses a four mill levy for fire protection, while Jerry Lopez, assistant fire chief from North Salt Lake said a two mill levy pays for fire protection there. Other cities in the south end pay a one mill levy for county fire protection. Commissioner Moss said the difference has been equalized in the past since those cities paid an. equivalent amount for a fire fighting equipment to serve, the area. Next year cities in the south end will pay the 2l4 mill levy, the same as the north end, he said. MILTON HESS, Davis, County attorney, said if the county should decide to adopt a fire district for the whole county or a portion of the county, without a mill levy, a vote by citizens would not be required. Commissioner Moss said COG will give further consideration to the matter at the June meeting.
