Shields has fostered during his years in office is that of setting goals for the year. Each department head in the city organization is asked to submit in writing the most important goal they hope to achieve during the year. Mayor Shields says the goal must be one that can realistically be achieved. AFTER THE goal has been set, the department works to achieve it during the year. Mayor Shields believes this goal setting program helps to make city government better. Many of the goals outlined in past years have been achieved. THE GOALS for this year are concepts that would make Layton City better if they were reached. The public works department hopes to install a storm sewer line on Fairfield Roat from 2951 N. Fairfield to Highway 193. This will alleviate the storm water drainage problem in the area. This goal has been set in other years but it has never been achieved because of the economic conditions. This year alternative methods of funding will be pursued so the goal could possible be reached.
