MICKELSEN FARMINGTON - -The like Davis Park Golf Course d a number of businesses - is faced with a dilemma. county-operate- -- SHOULD THE county take legal action against patrons whose personal checks bounce? Golf pro Pierre Hualde says the items residents purchase while at the facility are so it is difficult to take small, legal action. IN ADDITION, the collection process is an expense for the county. In charting the occurrence of insufficient funds checks since 1977, Hualde pointed out that fewer than five or ten checks are returned as "uncollectable." He said court action is never taken against patrons whose checks end up in the uncollectable pile. Davis County Fair will be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Davis Fairgrounds adjacent to the Lagoon.

Former Davis FARMINGTON Nearly ten square miles of land formerly designated as "Wetlands by the federal Corps of Engineers has been relin-quise- making it accessible for future development. THE PARCELS are located near the Great Salt Lake primarily in west Farmington, Kaysville and Layton areas, says County Planning Director Harold Tippetts, who indi- - cated some 5,800 acres has been after coordination between county, state and federal officials. Land designated as Wetlands normally is removed from any type of development that would detract from its natural condition. Or if a change was desired, such as for building a canal, a trade-of- f with another parcel might be required. PROBLEMS HAVE arisen where land had been zoned by the city for an industrial park and development had started when federal officials issued a stop order, insisting the property was in a Wetlands designation. Such a program was started after large areas in the coastal regions, primarily, were developed, raising concern by environmentalists and others, Mr. Tippetts says. Much of the land designated as Wetlands in Davis County was done by use of aerial photographs, however, and didnt necessarily fit the specifications, at least in the minds of some. The parcels under contention in Centerville were not affected by the change, Mr. Tippetts says. in west Centerville Winners The Kaysville Chamber of Commerce announces the winners in their recent Fun Run held in conjunction with their annual Krazy Days celebration.

I dont think I should pay for a decision 1 didnt make. If I was on my own we wouldnt have to pay for five years at once, she said, noting federal officials havent replied to that stance. THE QUESTION is where in the budget it comes from (money to pay). It has to come out of Social Services. I get tired of someone else making a decision if they dont have to pay for it. If we pay, we will do it under protest and then they cant spend it, Ms. Johnson said. The auditor (LuDeen Gibbons) feels this could be a test case," she added, noting temporary employees are hired by the clerks office, golf course and as jurors, for instance, with none receiving Social Security. The decision could affect action statewide. The board was also informed of a seminar to involve some staff in alcoholism training. They were told that officials are realizing we have as much problem with the elderly as anyone else.

Government-subsidized housing projects are on the decline in Davis County, Mrs. Davis told commissioners and a small group of reporters. She said 25 percent of the people on housing authority waiting lists" seeking adequate living quarters are young couples on a minimunj wage income. One proposed project is a unit housing development in Layton. Many of the proposed apartment-lik- e dwellings will someday be converted into condominiums, according to Mrs. Davis. 50-6- 0 -- - low-inco- low-inco- ONE OF the problems is there is very little land available for sale, although Bountiful does have some property the housing authority is considering. The county commission asked if the new bonding plan will require that the housing authority hire additional staff members. Mrs. Davis said the boards personnel pool will have to be increased as construction plans are put into action. MOST, SHE she said, are living in their parents basements because they cant afford high monthly rental costs or house payments. The introduction of tax exempt bonding will allow the county to secure financing for housing projects without having to include the bonding money in their yearly income tax reports. IN ADDITION, Davis said some of the countys cities are going to have to change some of their more strict zoning policies to e allow low and housing developments.
