Money for the project will come from a $523,000 Department of Housing and Urban Development grant. Thacker said actual construction of the water storage facility would begin as early in the spring as possible. The city is now in the process of selecting an engineering firm to design the tank. Other matters which concern Thacker include the redevelopment of KaysviUes downtown area and the improvement of the citys parks. Thacker, who has a masters degree in public administration and a bachelors degree in political science, from Brigham Young University, previously served as the city manager of Mount Pleasant, a central Utah town of about 2,500. He and his wife Wendy have four children ranging in age from 5 months to 6 years old. I like Kaysville very much," he said, Its a very good city.

The widow was able to retain her home. That case, however, invoked considerable criticism of tax sale procedures in Utah and even raised industrial and commercial facilities to build a better tax base for the city. With the crunch of resources, its going to get harder and harder to provide the services people are used to, he said. He listed proposals to eliminate the state sales tax on food and revise the tax article of the state constitution as matters of particular concern to him, noting that no one will know whether Kaysvilles resources will be diminished until those questions are decided in the November election. Our biggest and most urgent project is the improvement of Kaysville City Power and Light Companys power system, he said. Its well under way and, hopefully, will be done soon. The city is increasing the capacity of Kaysvilles power substation and adding more power lines, something Thacker said is badly needed. Alison Dalton, violin, Sept. Kelly Parkinson, violin, Oct.
