Layton has offered land, utilities and money to accelerate the building of the library certainly. this is an indication of Layton's commitment for a library for the citizens. We need to continue to purchase library services from the county until Layton has their own services. MR. JOHNSON would support a bond election for a recreational complex. He thinks this should be discussed at Layton City Master Plan meetings in each area as scheduled by Scot Carter. 1 his approach would put the issue to the people.

Shields views on the following subjects: Layton City needs library facilities. I plan on surveying the situation from all sides and whichever way will provide our people with these services sooner and at the least amount of cost I press forward. Presently 1 favor the Independent System. Our community needs a civic center and I plan on supporting it as long as no private party can or will provide it. Even a private facility cannot fill all our needs. I therefore tend to favor the Civic Center under the direction of the city. RESOURCE Recovery is looking ahead to the future and am not opposed to planning for the future of our city. However. I do not at this time support the location of the facility in a residential area. We have other locations just as suitable that are not within our residential areas. 1 environmental SHE HAS lived in Layton for 8 y ears and has great pride in our community. She is truly interested in the future of Layton and its citizens and w ould like to help preserv e and improve the quality of our community and the life style which this community offers. Elected officials must listen to the people of the community and then make sound decisions based on the wants and needs of all the citizens. SHE IS IN favor of the proposed recreational complex. It is something the community needs and would support. However she is opposed on any increase in property taxes, and thinks we should explore all possible means of financing such a complex. A library in Lay ton is long over due, but she thinks we must answer several questions before making a final decision. 1 solve the problems of deposing of our waste The plant would be an excellent source of revenue tor Layton City. The impoitant issue we must fuse e w here to locate the plant. Manv north side residents are concerned about having (he plant in their back yards.

THE REVENUE saved by pulling out of the county system will not even come close to paying for the costs of our ow n library. The city will then have fringe or adversely impact Layton residents. Hard and concrete decisions will have to be made regaarding this issue and citizen input will be a must If the impact of locating a waste recovery system in the Layton area overides the benefits then we should look at some alternate means to dispose of the waste accumulation in Davis County. - LAYTON John A.

Management of future growth of our community is the most important issue facing our city government. Our tax revenues of to generate more revenue which will come from in- creased property taxes to help pay for the costs incurred by the new library. If we can build and operate a first class library in Layton without increasing taxes, we should then pursue having our own library. If taxes must go up to build a library, the residents should be allowed to voice their opinions by voting for it. MANY DOLLARS will be involved for us to build a recreational complex. We need to realize the costs out of each of our own pockets before we put out total support behind a complex. The surveys that have been taken throughout the city have never stated how much money the recreational center will take from the tax payer to help build and run it. I would personally like to have a complex like this in Lay ton but we all must better understand the costs involved before any of us can really make a decision on building the complex.
