If they buy it, they pay the maintenance, he said. By MARK D. MICKELSEN FARMINGTON - Kaysville would like to tie into the Davis County computer system for utility billing and payroll services. But some county officials arent sure whether thats such a good idea. AND WHILE the length of the contract has not been negotiated, the price has. With their own equipment, Kaysville will pay the county a $1500 per month on line fee. Fowler said as the county adds more software (programming help), that monthly fee may increase.

THE COUNCIL also approved the city engineers of Nelson, Maxwell and Wang-sgar- d to provide engineering service for the community development block grant, and to authorize Mayor Gar Elison to sign the contract upon release of all conditions. This was passed unanimously by council members. Following discussion, the council also accepted the contract through aerographics to provide orthographies, maps for use with the master plan, providing all requirements are met.
