That word isnt expected on grant approvals until review the stack of grants and Although an appeals procedure apparently is in place for time. mid-Ma- FARMINGTON Laytons hopes for a : recon- sideration of its block grant proposal are now in the hands of the state. A MEETING with county mayors and commissioners last week to provide "information netted virtually no sympathy one month after the body reviewed 18 block grant proposals worth more than $2 million and pared the selection down to fit the $850,000 avail- able. Layton had submitted a request for $388,867 or nearly half the total in grant monies. The funding was asked for a downtown redevelopment action such as Laytons, Mayor Shields said he doesnt believe its ever been tried before. This is only the second year of the grants due to President Reagana decentralization program, removing it from federal control to local and state administration. CLARK Adams, chairman of the Layton Downtown R- ehabilitation committee, addressed the mayors pinpointing three problems he felt arose with the decision- making process. It's about an impossible task in few days to project that wouldve seen revamping of the street as well as sidewalks and other beautification efforts. It was the second time around for the request. Eight projects did receive approval. WHILE IT was inferred Layton might take legal action over the procedures used in making the grant selections. Mayor Lewis G. Shields emphasized in a telephone interview that, the only thing were doing is waiting to see "I suppose you feel your project was more worthy, make critical decisions that affect so many in such a short Farmington Mayor Merrill R.

EMPHASIZING the city doesnt doubt the worthiness of those grants approved, he questioned qualification to attributes by some projects, although he and the mayor both indicated they felt improvements had been made since the first year. n I think everyone who participated did the very best in choosing what was most need- ful (of funding), last Mayor Petty continued. His city received $200,000 for a new public safety complex. Im very disappointed youd come back and make an appeal--- I feel its sour grapes. NEW DEADLINE FOR MXSSMMAKT CENTERVILLE Mayor Neil Blackburn also questioned the grant proposal. The knowledge I had of the particular project be why couldnt other grants pursued or a redevelopment agency set up, such as safe sidewalk monies.

TIIAXK YOU County Commissioners Solve Attorney Problem By CHERIE HUBER when he submitted the billing FARMINGTON An agreement was reached by the Davis County Commission last week solving a problem with Attorney Stephen Oda concerning payment of a partner he has taken into his practice. ATTY. ODA IS a member of a firm that contracts with the county to be public defenders for the indigent. He had taken on a partner in a capital offense case he is working on, but for his partner it was refused. The billing totaled $1200 at a rate of $35 an hour. Last Wednesday the commission voted not to approve payment for services up to that time but to authorize Atty. Oda to contract for help at $35 per hour not to exceed $1200 from this point on in the case. AT THE SAME time Atty. Oda objected to having his billing approved by the county attorney because he felt that the hours he spent on the case might give the county attorney knowledge of what he is doing on the case. The commission MR. SINGLETON saved the county $12,000 by suggesting that the road shop trucks be however determined that Atty. Odas billing in general in converted to propane. nature and the county attorney could not determine from the billing where the hours are being spent even if he wanted to. At the same time the County Commission has made incentive awards to two road shop employees, Del Singleton and Mr. Belnap saved the county $11,000 when he found and replaced a diesel engine in one of the county trucks. It would have cost an estimated $ 1 1 ,000 to repair the engine that Mr. Belnap replaced for $500. THESE this objective (funding), he went on, asking whether the businessmen could be involved in providing funding. Mr. Clark said of criticism a great deal had been re- ceived by the city council for organizing a redevelopment agency a year or so ago. It came to the point the RDA received a bad connotation in the publics eyes. TV-- r A J; Mayor Shields said he believed a technical committee should be set up to review the proposals. A separate committee did that in 1982 but it was felt the whole group should be included to provide a fuller picture and less chance for bias last month. tJL. "i if VM s' t 5 r u LAYTON will do what they feel is best and we will do what we feels best, Mayor Sant said. "I didnt believe this tr r- review should disqualify ourselves. Weve gone through it but added that possibly five points could be deducted for cities whod already received funding on grants, for example, to more easily spread them out.
