RESERVATIONS should be made with the Utah State Historical Society, bet ore Dec. 24, 1979. HIS MAIN objection to Kaysvilles new rates was in improper rate block adjustments. He said that Kaysville increased the first block 13 percent to 25 percent less than UP&Ls first block rate and the final block in Kaysvilles was rate commercial increased 105 percent, to 50 percent more than the last block rate in UP&Ls commercial rate 6 schedule. The city council directed their power department superintendent Walt Meach- am to arrange a meeting with Mr. Bowman and Mr. Hor-ma- n of ICPA to try to resolve the differences in their studies. MR. HORMANS study stated that the cost of Kaysvilles power is 3. 1 cent per kwh.: This was calculated by adding total cost of kwhs and kw demand and dividing by the number of kilowatt hours used in October. Mr. Bowmans study stated that in October the actual kwh cost was 1.9 cents because the kw demand cost portion is and should be recovered in the higher rate first blocks of the power schedule and should therefore not be figured in again. His study also indicated kwh cost should decrease to 1.37 cents when Kaysville obtains a firm contract for its supplemental power which could be on June 1, 1980. The study also stated that October was not a representative month due to extra high UP&L generated that this power costs caused by two of Utah Powers units being closed down makirig it neces- sary for them to provide Kaysville with expensive oil fire generated power. wwl dinance and Hillside Or- dinance was discussed.

THE MOTION to seek independent control of the CAP came on a unanimous vote of the CAP Advisory Board after learning that the county commission had voted to "disengage itself from any part of the CAP organization. The commission, by unanimous vote, decided to withdraw county sponsorship of the federally funded CAP. The commission vote was a climax to a battle with the U.S. Community g Services Administration ed their homes are to be complimented, because their ettorts have resulted in a beautiful city, Mr. Thomas said.

SINCE AUGUST, CSA of- ficials have been opposing CSAs chief of field operations in Denver, Lewis Morris, met with the Davis County CAP Advisory Board and approved the boards ac- tion to rename the county agency to Community Action Agency of Davis County. THE CSA boss told the board that "there will be hundreds of implications youll be working with from now on, thats the nature of the Community Action Program. Now, the new agency for underprivileged and minority groups of Davis County will reorganize its advisory board with at least 15 members one third of status, one third elected officials of their delegates, and one third comprised of other members. IF THE board is comprised of more than 15 members, the total must be a figure that can be equally divided by three, it was explained. The county commission also met last week to reaffirm their position, that being the county will no longer sponsor the CAP after Dec. 31. WE HAVE allowed the CAP to use county facilities and office space for 90 days, afterwhich they must be moved into new quarters, said Commission Chairman Glen W. Flint. He said the commission has no hard feelings about the activities of the CAP, but it (commission) refused to continue in a position where they would receive constant harrassment from the CSA as they have for the past several months. THERE IS probably no other county in the state, and very few in the nation, that sponsor the local CAP," said Comm. Flint recently.

He noted that the county: has earmarked $21,000 an-- 1 dually to the CAP. This will j be discontinued effective the i end of this year. j |
