Bountiful City officials hope to gain concessions from Utah Power and Light Co. before signing the agreement. The IPP negotiations are being used as leverage by Bountiful'in making its demands because UP&L instigated the cutback. In a letter to the IPA in November, Bountiful Mayor Dean Stahle listed about a dozen items that the city wanted to negotiate with UP&L. Most of the items dealt with transmission of power over UP&L power lines. Also included were demands that participants, Ms. Garrett said. A further delay may cost the participants in IPP as much as $2 million per day. "If this delay goes on too long, it could conceivably cause a delay near the end of the construction (of IPP). At that time the IPA may need to go to the bond market when interest rates are high and conditions on the bond market are unfavorable. Currently the IPA has a good bond market and favorable interest to work UP&L-owne- with, she said. If costs to the participants in IPP do go up, Muir foresees a flurry of lawsuits against Bountiful. Muir said he is concerned that a lengthy delay may scuttle the IPP. If IPP fails, I think theres going to be all kinds of lawsuits filed. I dont think Murray will be the only city to file. I certainly sympathize with Bountifuls needs, Muir said. But I certain coal-fire- Bountiful, Centerville, Clearfield, Clinton, Farmington, Fruit Heights, Kaysville, Serving Vol. 3 No. 26 44,026 Families Layton, ly feel this is not the appropriate way for Bountiful to settle its differences with UP&L. Muir said Murray City has had good relations in the past with Bountiful. "This hurts me that were at odds on this project and I certainly hope this wont effect our relationship in the future, he added. Stahle said negotiations with UP&L have been "quite intense. Were down to the basic issues. However, the two sides arent making a lot of headway, he admitted. Stahle said the two sides have been meeting quite regularly. The negotiations have proceeded in such a way that one side has arranged questions to ask the other side and figures have been put together, Stahle said. Ms. Garrett said that if Bountiful doesnt sign the agreement to downsize the project, then IPP cant be downsized. The projects financial advisers have made it clear that the project cant go through as a four unit project, she said. .

Board member Robert McIntosh said he favors giving talented kids an opportunity to grow, but said he didnt feel comfortable opening the door to ninth grade students. He said 98 percent of the parents he polled in his district were .against ninth grade participa ' d. Board members again told parents that unless the school district can obtain two acres of city property adjoining Layton Elementary, the construction of the proposed new elementary school could be delayed a year. To begin construction on the new building while still operating in the old building, the district needs to obtain two acres of the citys land on the west side of the site. It has proposed a trade of two school district acres on the east side for the citys tvo acres on the west. R$it Layton City has expressed its desire to obtain land at the Verdeland Park School, located behind city hall, by trading two acres at Layton Elementary for two acres at Verdeland Park or trading three acres at Lincoln Elementary for three acres at Verdeland Park. In either trade, the city and school board would then enter negotiations for the sale of the remaining Verdeland Park on a long-terpurchase basis. Board President Sheryl L. Allen also said the board had not yet made a decision on the citys latest land trade offer, which would end three months of proposals and counterproposals between the city and the district. But several parents at the meeting told the board the two sides should reach an agreement allowing the school to be built immediately. Mrs. Allen said that if the district decided to trade the Verdeland Park acreage, it would set a precedent for other cities to withdraw from joint land-us- e agreements with the district. The obligating of future boards of education is a concern, said Mrs. Allen. The district currently owns six acres at the Layton Elementary and playground site on 300 W. Gentile. The city and the LDS Church own two acres each on the west side of the property. The church has agreed to the trade, said Superintendent Lawrence E. Welling. Jim Reynolds, a professional engineer who lives in Layton, said a decision by the district to tear down the old building and build the new school would take an extra two months. Reynolds said that with construction costs rising $10,000 a month, the demolition of the present building and construction of the new school would far exceed the value of the two acres. But Mrs. Allen said if construction were to be delayed a year for the new Layton Elementary school, the district would move another school project up on the agenda, negating Ihe inflation factor. No decision on the proposed trades were made at the meeting and Mrs. Allen said the district plans to send representatives to meet with the city. parents Index Church Classified Home Living School Bedding and bed clothes should also be washed frequently at the same temperature because the head lice can survive for a day without a host. All combs, brushes, curlers and similar hair care products should be washed at 130 degrees for at least 20 minutes, said Valentine. Floors and furniture in the home should be frequently vacuumed. Valentine said the clothes may be dry cleaned to kill the head lice. If a member of the family has the lice, parents should inspect all mdftibers of the family daily for at least two week afterwards. Valentine said head lice is a growing national problem and can be caught by anyone, regardless of their financial status or how clean the home is. The first sign of the presence head lice is an intense ing, Valentine said. of itch- Roy Action Protested By County The validity of Roy recent annexation of the Citys ZinkeMaynes property may be challenged in a Weber ROY 41-ac- re County Boundary Commission Acting on behalf of the Hooper Water District, Weber County Commissioners plan to file a protest with the boundary com- mission unless property owners in the disputed area and the water district can reach a satis- -' factory settlement.
