PURCHASE price was $90,000 down and the agency will pay off the remainder of the $300,000 purchase price at $35,000 per year. The agency wants to lease the recently purchased property to help pay off the remainder debt.

The agency would also like to obtain an additional 2.5 acres more of the property, that are also part of the illegal subdivision. The auto parts company will continue to lease that building and the Redevelopment Agency is seeking a tenant for the service station.

THE STUDY is necessary before bonding can be n obtained for the dollar proposed plant that would see construction in Layton and tie in with HAFB, providing some of their energy multi-millio- from the 150,000 tons of garbage anticipated yearly from the county. Meeting as a council of gov- ernments at the International Center in Salt Lake City, last week, the group voted nine for the $95,000 study while one mayor, Centervilles Neil Blackburn, abstained, and Clearfield Councilman Kay Chandler voted against the proposal. EXPLAINING the study is necessary before bonding can be obtained, Wilbur Jefferies, Wasatch Front Regional Council executive director, said an independent com- pany will look at the overall proposal, including projected landfill costs and life of the DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL 197 'B' North Main St. Layton, Utah 84041 phone 3 Published Weekly by CUPPER PUBLISHING CO.

THEY SHOULD be able to give us a projection on how all of this will do, said Sunset Mayor Norm Sant. It appears this thing is what weve been ats where a lot waiting for-th- of what weve been asking for should be explained, added. he The project cost could be reimbursed, including about $20,000 each from the North Area Refuse Disposal and the like amount from Bay Area Refuse Disposal, said Mr. Jefferies, if bonds are sold and the project moves ahead. Some is being held in reserve from federal En- vironmental Protection Agency sources that would fund the rest. It was relinquished by Salt Lake County, he added. THERE WAS some concern by those in attendance that all questions hadnt yet been answered with Layton Mayor Lewis G. Shields noting, The big thing is the site. There doesnt seem to be the (feeling) that all the alternatives have been raised. But Mr. Jefferies indicated all of that will be reviewed in the Nov. 18 public hearing. LENGTH of the steam line from the plant to base facilities is a key issue, Richard E. Har- vey, environmental health director, said, indicating one site would necessitate running a line under the airport runway. And while that wouldnt be "awfully difficult it would probably require stopping air traffic, at least during construction. The sites being studied are both bordering State Highway 193. The site to be considered for rezoning Nov. 18 is on the city side at about 1000 W. while the other is directly across the street inside the base. .

THE NARD site is too far from the base, Mr. Harvey said, when asked about locating the plant at the current IT'S HALLOWEEN! north Davis dump site. It would add $3.5 million in the cost, adding it must be close enough to benefit HAFBs distribution system, as well. There would probably be no project if the distance is increased, greatly, Mr. Jefferies emphasized, adding that, If you dont sell steam its probably not feasible to build the plant. Weve looked at evhe added. erything, AND IF pow er were generated from a central county point, for example, cost would be too high for the Davis County market, Mr. Harvey said, noting it might be different in the East where power costs are higher, for example. Coalgenerated and hydroelectric power utilized here make that impractical, he explained further. Mr. Jefferies added that some incentives are being offered to the base in an attempt at procuring the agreement although some points are still under negotiation. CONCERNING sites, Mayor Shields said it makes no difference to Layton but he noted the closer to base housing and Clearfield the more potential there d be for opposition. A summer, 1985 completion 0 date has been eyed for the $40-$5- million plant although there was some concern a pos- sible delay of three-fou- r months to get clearance from Layton on their site could evolve into as much as 18 months if the base site is chosen and federal clearance needed. Commissioners Approve Davis Plan For Floods By CLINT WARDLOW - The FARMINGTON massive flooding that struck Utah last month leaving many residents homeless emphasized the need for an effective flood control plan around the state. prevent flooding that such diversions could cause.

The Flood Control Committee has the right to varv from pointed out that the water ways adequately handled last month's record rains without any problem. The rains were even worse than the weather that decimated Davis County in the 1930s with massive flooding. ONE OF the problems the committee had with the plan was defining what constituted a major water way, said Rolf Williams, a committee member. Major water ways were designated with the help of a study desiminated by the county Water Quality Planning Council. Mr. Williams emphasized the program was just policy and not an ordinance. Being designated a policy gives the committee more leniency in dealing with the plan, he explained. TO, IF it was an ordinance we would not be able to amend it, Mr. Williams pointed out. policy "in principal" Mr. Wil liams said the policy would probably go through some polishing" before being pre sented to the COG and County Commission.
