The construction project was contracted miraculously when the interest rates were lowest. Now, according to Starks, the city has time certificates working for three to four percent on their money. WE HAVE the right to pay it off without penalty," he noted, applauding the city council for timing their decision just at the right time to take advantage of the interest rates. The mayor and council should be complimented on the good judgement they used," he said. CONTRACTORS for the new addition asked for and received approval on a 220-da- y contract, Mr. Starks said. But for every day they go over that, they will have to pay a penalty. Depending on the weather and other unforeseen conditions, he said the construction should be completed by early spring.

Clearfield and Sunset, at recent meetings, expressed enthusiastic support for the tricity merger. Layton is the newcomer to the project, Mr. Davenport said, while the other cities have at least had some time to investigate the proposition. THERE HAS been some confusion from the cities involved as to where the central base for the facility will be.

The Clearfield City Council has decided to delay the purchase of a new civil defense radio system while they secure funding for the project. THE ACCUSATION by City Manager Gayle Starks, that Clearfield isn't civil defense oriented enough, prompted the council at last weeks meeting to look seriously at some method to protect local residents in emergencies. Dave Comer, a civil defense spokesman, told the group to appropriate the radio money for a portable pop-omodel, because in a disaster the system can be taken to the scene, while at the same time allowing ut HE SAID during one flood emergency, a man using the radio was able to take pop-oit out of his car, up a mountain, survey the flood damage from there, and make quick reports to emergency crews below. He added that if funding is approved by the city, there is a good chance that Clearfield would only have to pay half the cost. Because of a special grant system used by the federal government, the city check for $2500 could be sent to Washington, D.C. He said the government would then send a return check of $1250 back to the community officers. APPARENTLY in favor of stepped up civil defense pro ut between the two other cities. Because were a cooperative effort, he said, we would be sharing ideas. THE GREATEST advantage, he said, is not only the cost savings the cities will benefit from, but the growth potential of the computer. At an earlier Sunset city council meeting, Mr. Davenport explained that no city alone, in buying their own computer, can share as many advantages as in the merger system. Sunset Mayor Norm Sant was favorably impressed with a proposed system, Hewlett-Packar- d and so am I, Davenport said. THOUGH HE said it is wise for the cities to look at other systems and get the best deal and price, the planner explained that Roy city already has a Hewlett-Packar- d sys- tem, and is happy with it. In addition, he thinks the three cities could benefit from the experience of Roy. The merger will create a separate interlocal governMr. ment operation, port said, and will serve the computer needs of the communities. WE GOT the idea from an rather than only three cities. The system began in 1972, and according to Davenport, has continued successfully through 1980. its Wherever being done, he said of the mergers, its being done successf- ully.
