We would like to operate two or three days a week, but be closed on Sunday, for the time being. He emphasized that safety and cooperation with the public w ill be priorities of operating the range. He then outlined steps to be completed before the range is open in about two weeks and safety procedures to be strictly enforced. THE RANGE will not open on any date without at least two deputized range officers on duty. Before the opening each day, a telephone call will be made to the Davis County Sheriff s Office and a red flag age must be accompanied by a responsible adult. will be flown at the facility to indicate the range is in opera- tion. Shooters must empty their guns before entering the range and will leave them in racks when not in use. All guns will be checked by a range officer before they are allowed to be used.

She has a degree in botany, and Dave Dalrymple, urban forester from Utah State Divion of Land and Forest Service, who did the recent survey for the city. They met with the committee to assist them in developing a tree ordinance, planning a guide forthertity and creating a master tree plan. DURING RECENT studies, it was found that a large number of trees in Kaysville are improperly planted, that is, the wrong tree in the wrong place. This has resulted in surface and sewer pipe damage as well as displacing of sidewalks. The extensive study review informed the city of the species common name, its location, quality and condition of most of the trees in the city. It also provided information that the city has some unique as well as costly trees that could not be replaced. Most older trees have exhausted their maximum life span. THE CITY wishes to encourage residents to plant more trees. A plan to encourage proper planning is being developed. This will identify natural characteristics which make certain trees especially useful in specific applications. This will help Kaysville preserve and expand the beauty started by early settlers. Kaysville benefits from the shaded beauty of the trees. RECOMMENDATIONS were made for many areas, including conducting seminars for the public in proper plant- ing and care of trees and shrubs. James Pace who has been functioning as chairman of the committee resigned his position. A new chairman will be named at a later date, np ny CcAscit. 7 QJ F.scaL ycat CLEARFIELD REVENUE BHEfil n tj If youre a Clearfield resident and have been wondering how the budgetary pie is made up on city expenses and revenue heres the breakdown for the new fiscal year that started Tuesday.
