The proposal recommends that all communities in north Davis County have a number to call that would terminate in the sheriffs office. This office would dispatch the emergency vehicles until the more Based on approval of the Utah State Paramedic Council, limited paramedic service in the north end of Davis County will begin on August 1. The Fmergency Medical Council (EMS) approved the final draft of the plan, which they will submit to the State Paramedic Advisory Council on July 5 complex system can be developed. BOUNTIFUL will continue to dispatch ambulances from the police department, but dispatch paramedics through the sheriffs office. The recommended communication system, that the council is hopeful cf implementing in five jears, calls for a central county communications center a day basis The operated on a system would have two full time permanent dispatchers available at all times and suggests the possibility of hiring handicapped people for those positions DR. JAN Freeman, chairman of the EMS Council, and Dr. Richard Johns, director of the Davis County Health Department, will present the proposal which has been written under state guidelines. The proposal calls for a paramedic Fmergency Medical Training (EMT) team with telemetry communication to Weber Hospitals to initiate the paramedic service August 1. A second paramedic-EMunit will be available in the south end of the county by January 1978, according to the proposal. IF AVAILABLE, the communications channel w'ould operate on a 911 system. Fire and police units could communicate with the common channel but would hae separate communications channels to conduct police business. The proposal calls for the Lakeview Hospital in Bountiful and the Davis North Medical Center in Layton to obtain communication equipment to provide hospital emergency room support for the paramedic service. teams will provide services to the county until August 1978 when one paramedic unit, THE PARAMEDIC EMT fully equipped and staffed by paramedics, will cover north Davis County. By December of 1978, a second unit and staff will provide 24 hour coverage in the south encLof the county. Paramedics to staff the service will be supplied by the Davis County Sheriff's Office. By the end of July 1977, six fully trained paramedics will be available to the program. By December 1978, 18 trained to paramedics wilfTTa-ve-beeimplement the full program. FUNDING for the program has not been worked out, but the committee has said hopefully the money will come through federal grants and hospital corporations. An anticipated $14,000 is sought through community efforts. n probably be PROPOSED MALL By RUSS FOTHERINGHAM housewives and others. They also spin-of- f create employment opportunities in trucking, warehousing, custodial and personal services. Weve wanted a mall, weve hoped for a mall, and weve asked for a mall. We have endured unfulfilled promises, partially developed shopping centers, and endless rezomng fights. NOW AFTER years The new mall in Layton will have a strong and direct bearing on the areas construction industry. It is estimated that close to 1500 construction workers and members of affiliated trades will be gainfully employed in the building of this center of disappointments and anticipation, all indications firmly point to Layton as the location for a three department store enclosed mall by alone. May of 1979. When fully developed, Lay-toHills Mall, to be located n where the North Layton interchange intersects Gordon Avenue and Hill Field Road, will contain three department stores and close to 600,000 square feet of leasable store space. n BEYOND the emotions mentioned above, what will such a shopping center mean to Layton? What kind of an impact will this kind and size of center have on our community? In two words, the impact will be heavy and "diverse. -- Shopping centers do more than supply their customers retail needs. They also create jobs, pay taxes and provide services which contribute significantly to of the communities they serve. CONSIDER the sizable sums put into circulation by the total payrolls of the shopping center and its tenants. As a rule of thumb, it is eswell-bein- g timated that a shopping center creates one full time job for every 500 square feet of its leasable area. Based on the 600,000 square feet of leasable space men- APPROXIMATELY $315,000 of that total will be funneled into the Layton City treasury every year. If periphery development is included in the calculations, Laytons sales tax revenues of $420,000 in 1976, will be effec- tively doubled! Shopping centers also pay ever present real estate taxes which are imposed to support a wide variety of services from roads and highways to hospitals and educational systems. AT EXISTING assessed valuation and mill levy levels the Mall will pay over $195,000 per year in such taxes. In- tioned above, Layton Hills Mall will generate 1200 full time jobs for area residents. THIS IS direct employment of full time workers. Shopping centers are also a major of source secondary employment, providing an important number of jobs for students, part-tim- ALL OF the numbers above and below show only the minimum influence of such a development. The auxiliary development that will undoubtedly occur around such a major shopping center complex will greatly add to all such numbers. As a major taxpayer, Lay-toHills Mall with either directly or indirectly, pour millions of dollars into state and local treasuries. When the center is fully operational, conservative sales estimates indicate that state sales tax revenues of over $2.1 million will be generated. e dividual tax payers benefit too. Commercial developments, such as shopping centers, have created huge tax advantages to home owners as well as the community at large. For example the Layton Hills Mall will pay a major share of local real estate taxes, approximately 40 per CARPET CLEANERS Over 20 Yrs. Experience Steam Cleaning Special!!

THESE pluses are in addition to the modern shopping centers relative when it comes to its use of essential municipal services. Most large shopping centers have their own security forces - often larger than the local municipal police, to protect customers and property. Sprinklers and modem fire detection devices and controls help reduce the potential for major fires far below what might be expected for public facilities as large as a shopping center. Garbage collections are usually privately contracted, as is snow removal, at no cost to the 376-335- 7 FREE ESTIMATES - 232-66- 26 mall. It w have ill if a community OBVIOUSLY, such a center will mean additional traffic and a variety of public expenditures to deal with that traffic. It will also generate additional growth which is a desirable thing to some people and undesirable to others. To answer our initial question, w'hat now'?, based on the often expressed desire for a shopping mall in Lajton, we can summarize as follows: selection convenience, choice, civic or community price and maturity, new jobs, economic booster - construction expenditures and jobs; vastly expanded tax base, overall economic stability and health, catalyst for growth of other economic sectors.

Coffman Promoted ONCE manned, two emergency vehicles will be availabje, according to the proposal. These units would each cover a six mile radius responding zone, using Layton and Bountiful as centers Residents could expect maximum response time to be five to 10 minutes in the suburban areas of the county, while the more rural areas would have a maximum response ume of ten to fifteen minutes. Since this estimate does not take into account service to either Lagoon or Antelope Island breakdowns, and local road and city congestion, the EMS plan calls for the development of other paramedic units from cities or volunteer agencies which would serve as backup units to the two county sponsored paramedic units nt impart on the area in Kaysville basis.
