In the newspaper business, we call that an anonymous source. "I M OULD think it would allow more flexibility but there have been some complaints that it's (problems) in the computer but Mr. Glines said he felt some people are blaming difficulties on the computer as an excuse. And asked by Mr. Forbes if some space on the computers might be utilized only to fill it up, as hed heard is a tendency, Mr. Glines responded that were only writing programs for the departments that are needed. noting staff didn't WELL THIS anonymous source wanted me to look into what were called some dirty doings in Kaysville City government. Naturally, the mere mention of political corruption was enough to tear me away from the mundane story of an uninspiring chamber of commerce luncheon and set my investigative blood to boil. What was even better was the fact that the source promised not to contact any of the other newspapers until I had looked into the matter. Nothing gives more joy to a reporter on a weekly newspaper than to break an important story before the big daily papers even hear about it. We call that a scoop. ANYWAY, the source preceded to explain that Kaysville had recently advertised to hire a new parks manager and that out of 33 applicants, the city had hired a Mr. Vance Garfield from Oregon. The source reported that at least two of the applicants had come from Kaysville and that it was a shame to bring someone in from out of state when so many are unemployed in Utah. Well, that wasnt much to go on. The source continued to say, however, that Mr. Garfield didnt have any college degree in horticulture or a related field; unlike at least two other applicants who both graduated i v from reputable universities. STILL I wondered what all the fuss was about, but the caller finally let loose a bombshell. The source reported that Mr. Garfield was the brother-in-laof Kaysville City w Administrator John Thacker. 1 Id )Ttf pUffiuM. 1 1 i- -i W.

VUT1I BOND interest rates rising anJ energy contrad delays cropping up. (he Iasi thing plant developers needed was an unexpected additional cost. Jus! as city garbage contracts were being drawn up, howeser, the Utah Air Conservation Committee recently slapped on a new requirement that would force developers to add about million worth of pollution control equipment to the plant. "That decision ha maJe it impossible to construct and operate the plant competitively w iih the landfill," said Wasatch Front Regional Council Director Will Jefferies. ONE OF the requirements that the Clear-Hel- d City Council placed on the plant was that tipping fees would not exceed current rates, which are about $12 per year in the south end of the county. Rates for the North Davis Refuse Dump are now about half that, but will likely be raised to accommodate necessary landfill improvements. The state's decision would require that expensive acid gas scrubbers be installed in the plant which would raise operating cost by about 50 percent, according to Mr. Jefferies. He added that including the extra debt retirement money that would be needed, operating costs would raise the tipping fees to the $14 to $15 range. evaluate the plant, we cannot ilctevt kscl of acid gassciesenwithin measurable quan-risks- ." Clear-Hel- REPORTING to the countys Solid Waste Management Board last week, Mr. Jefferies said the states requirements were surprising due to the low levels of acid gasses that would be produced by the burn plant. The states concern is mainly for dorine and sulpher dioxide emissions, he said. HE ADDfD that the Weber County go-baburning facility puts out more gasses in one day than the proposed Da is County plant would produce in a week. Kcnnccott produces about 400 timet as much in a gs day." Solid Waste Board Chairman Robert Palmquisl said that in his talks w ith the stale sir quality people he had rcccised the impression that the stale didn't want to set a "no scrubber prccident" since several larger industries would soon be coming to the state. "THIS ISN'T an air quality issue at all," said Davis Environmental Health Director Richard Harvey. "From an economic standpoint there is no justification for the scrubbers." - Mayor Falmquist added that if the project died, Hill Air Force Base would go ahead with a coal fired steam generation plant that would emit even more acid gasses than the proposed JCaly Scghcrs operation. THE SOLID Waste Board unanimously agreed to ask the Air Conservation Committee for a public hearing to present additional evidence in hopes of reversing the scrubber requirements. The board will also be inves-- . tigating legal avenues of appeal at the same time. The state's decision, meanwhile, has given a citizen's group opposed to the Clearfield project something to celebrate about. Spokesman Hal Hallett remarked that the light at the end of the tunnel was getting lighter" for the group and that other garbage disposal alternatives should now be considered. They (Plant supporters) wont lay down and die, but neither will we,' he said. Two Sicks HE ALSO gave me a copy of the job description. Looking through the evidence, I began to notice some discrepencies from what my anonymous source had told me. The position was for a landscape gardener rather than a parks manager and TRUE, THE men are brothers-in-IaThe day that Mr. Garfield applied for the position, however, Mr. Thacker sent a memo to the mayor of Kaysville which read, My brother-in-lahas applied for the position of landscape gardener. Utah law prohibits any person holding any public position to employ, appoint, or vote for his. ..brother-in-law- .. .to any position when the salary is to be paid out of any public funds.. .(U.C.A. ). I therefore remove myself from the selection process, effective this date, and request that you select and appoint the landscape gardener. Still, it seemed strange that Mr. Garfield was chosen over 32 other applicants. Looking over the application forms, however, it was obvious that most of the applicants came nowhere near to meeting even the minimum requirements. w THIS WOULD warrant a personal visit to Kaysville City Hall. When I arrived there, I was shuffled from one person to another until a clerk told me that the job application forms I had requested to see were considered personal and confidental. In other words, I was being told that I could not see the records. Aha! A cover-up- ! That only made me more determined to bring the story to light.

Five applicants were eventually chosen for interviews. I dont know what happened in the interviews, nor have I met any of the passed- - over applicants. If I had to choose only or the basis of the forms I saw, however, Mr. Garfield would have been high on the list. KAYSVILLE MAYOR Gerald Purdy confirmed the fact that Mr. Garfield was was going to hire relations, Ive got plenty of my own that could use the job, he said. Though we in the media would rather be able to quote specific persons, we still appreciate the anonymous sources. They keep us on our toes and often provide vital information which should be made public. I HOPE my anonymous source isnt too upset thah I am taking the side of city hall on this one, but often citizens dont see every-thi- nk that goes on behind the scenes in government. As part of the press role as watchdog on government, there is nothing Id like better than to expose illegal actions in the pub: lie sector. This time, however, there is no- thing to report. IT MAY be illegal to hire someone to a public position because he is a relative, but it would be just as unfair to restrict him from! employment for the same reason. Mr..' Thacker s action to remove himself fronr the selection process was the only way he could both comply with the law while still being fair to Mr. Garfield. I may have missed my scoop, but the: story was still worth covering. At least it was more exciting than the chamber of commerce meeting. ;- - i |
