Show nr PRESS ASSOCIATION 111 in Citizen Steering Committee Report Nine Projects Are Backed For CD Fundings WEST VALLEY. Nine projects, st should receive funding through the Community Development block grant program, a citizen steering committee reported Tuesday. In addition, the committee suggested that studies be launched to explore economic development and redevelopment within the city. A number of projects had to be eliminated from consideration, said citizen committee chairman Tim Dugdale. The committee received 19 project proposals valued at more than $1 million, far more than West Valleys allocation of $768,000, he noted. After a lengthy series of meetings, the seven-memb- -- st Access Bridge over irrigation ditch at about 3900 So. 6800 West: $45,500 requested, $45,500 recommended; installing a bridge there would improve pedestrian safety for children attending Orchard elementary and would help police cars, fire trucks and paramedic units gain access to adjacent neighborhoods which are now separated. This request received the most public support, said Dugdale. - Emergency Housing through Travelers Aid Society: $4,725 requested, $4,725 recommended; the society provides emergency housing for stranded, indigent people who are either moving on or have moved committee er into the area and need someplace to live. It runs a duplex provided by the County Housing Authority at about 3300 So. 2850 West. - ASSIST: $78,000 requested, $68,000 recommended; primarily provides grants and loans for emergency home repairs. The committee noted that the work of this ongoing program has been particularly helpful in Redwood. through the County Housing Authoriloans are provided to ty, low and moderate income residents to fix up deteriorating homes. This is an program in which repaid loans are put into a revolving fund, said CD director Brent Birt-che- r. starting with West Valley City park, recommended that the following projects (in order of priority) receive funding: - West Valley City Park, Phase II (4400 W. 3500 South): $254,242 requested, $254,242 recommended; the committee felt the city is lacking in parks and a centralized park would be a source of civic pride; by providing this amount of money, the committee hoped matching funds might be obtained. The funds would be used to install curb, gutter and sidewalk, fencing, an asphalt road base and an irrigation system, to construct a large earth berm in the center and to plant - Housing Outreach Rental Program: $5,000 requested, $5,000 recommended; private non-prof- it group which helps low income persons find affordable housing. Much of its work is done in the West Valley area, Dugdale noted. Redwood cleanup: $62,500 re- - quested, $10,000 recommended; general cleanup of a neglected area, the committee said. This request was submitted by city animal control director Ed Clontz. - 6400 West drainage system completion: $66,478 Two Sections requested, - 32 $25,000 the money recommended; would supplement $100,000 previously appropriated by the county. The countys contribution is now insufficient to complete the project. West Valleys addition should make it possible to complete piping the ditch. The committee cut that portion of the request seeking curb, gutter and sidewalk. Dugdale said the committee has turned down more than $3 million in requests for those improvements during the last few years. Up to 20 percent of a CD allocation may be used for administrative expenses. As part of its share, the committee recommended the city undertake the economic and redevelopment studies and hire a person to obtain federal grants. members were Committee Dugdale, Stephen Craig, Walter Ewell, Legia Johnson, Steven Martinez, Ann Snow and Lynn Warr.

Two bills dealing with cable television regulation were among the most controversial dealt with in the recent session of the State Legislature. Green Sheet area lawmakers, for the most part, favored those propositions. Little attention, on the other hand, was paid to a pair of bills that will have a significant impact on incorporation and annexation questions. Green Sheet area lawmakers liked those bills too. There was also little disagree-- ' ment, except from Democrats on the west side of the valley, on the merits For Burning In City Boundaries WEST VALLEY. Permits must be obtained for open burning in this city, according to the City Fire Department. Burning is permitted only in agricultural areas - not residential - and is limited to tree trimming, dit- -- ches and weed patches, said department spokesman John Blundell. Burning of salvage materials or trash is not permitted. The Fire Department will grant burning permits only for a few months, Blundell noted. Because of the high fire hazard during the summer months, burning generally is not permitted from about June 15 to the end of September, he pointed out. Burning permits are free. Persons wishing to burn are being asked to call Kay Frisk at the City Fire She will contact the fire station nearest to the site. A crew from the station will inspect the area and, if they determine the request is appropriate, will issue the permit for burning on that same day, Blundell said. He noted, however, that burning is allowed only on those days which meet air quality standards as y Health evaluated by the Hercules Ordinance Is We think were there. Department.

And he apparently had total support from the council. A sports fan, Maloney intends to have the meeting wrapped up in time to watch the University of Utah basketball team battle North Carolina State for a spot in the NCAA West Regionals. Game time is at 7 : 10, so Maloney -with the councils support - indicated he will do what he can with his parliamentary powers to make sure the meeting is short. will half-jokin- that optimistic statement, city long range planner John Janson told the City Council Tuesday that With g the development of the Hercules overpressure zone ordinance may be completed. After meeting with a glass expert from Toledo, Ohio on Friday, Janson revised the overpressure zone ordinance and will be presenting it to the City Council tonight (Thursday) for adoption. It has been a long time coming, a fact attributable largely to the lack of specific data dealing with the effects of blast waves which would result from an explosion at Hercules. Janson told the council Tuesday that the glass specialist from Ohio, Donald Vild, was able to present specific data which could be incorporated into the ordinance. As a result, the ordinance would give developers the option of choosing between three different types of glass for homes within the overpressure zone those areas where art earlier study indicated that damage could be anticipated if a blast occurred at the missile and explosives plant.

These five bills were selected to give Green Sheet area readers an idea of how their representatives and senators voted on divergent issues. The cable TV issues were selected because of the interest which they have sparked. The annexation and incorporation bills were picked because of the considerable attention which those two subjects have generated in this area during the past five or so years.

Although the committee did not cite a particular site, the area mentioned most prominently is around 2700 West just north of 3100 South. The committee cut the request because it included money for a fire truck and other materials; it was suggested, however, that city officials appropriate money for those An example, Crackdown of- it isnt breakable, the ordinance also will allow the use of laminated safety glass or tempered glass, Janson said. Laminated safety glass is like the windshield in a car. It involves a plastic sheet between two plates of glass. If a blast occurred, the glass would stick to the plastic rather than spraying around the room, the planner noted. City Fire Chief Darrell Mcllrath said he still had some concerns about that type of glass. He said there are cases of automobile accidents where a person has gone partly through a laminated windshield and couldnt pull back because of the through characteristics of the glass. The tempered glass is heat treated for strength. Janson said Vild stated that force from a blast would be in- tense and brief, causing the glass to shatter and drop, not spray, Mcllrath remarked. Janson noted that developers will be required to put in double panes. Special requirements also have been included for basement windows, he noted. Because the tempered glass is the cheapest to install, according to estimates received on Tuesday, Janson predicted that it would be used in most of the homes. in the Utah House after receiving easy approval in the Senate. From these five bills, no particular generalizations can be made outside of perhaps the most obvious: on most issues, the Republican majority generally stuck together; the Democrats, limited in number, were not entirely united and were often reduced to casting ineffective protest votes. Heres how Green Sheet area legislators voted on these five bills (described only briefly) : - House Bill 65: Makes it mandatory for students in an unin- corporated area annexed by a city with its own school district to change school districts as well, except those students whose personal preference indicates otherwise. This repeals a law which said annexations did not affect school district boundaries. Passed by House 60-- by Senate 20--- Voting For: Sen. Brent Overson (R); Reps.

Now that local governments will receive liquor tax money to enforce stricter drunken driving laws, they have to decide how best to spend that money. A County Council of Governments (COG) committee headed by West Valley Mayor Jerry Maloney is looking into ramifications of an option proposed last week by Salt Lake City Police Chief E.L. (Bud) Willoughby. Willoughby, noting that there definitely wont be room in the Jail to put all the people arrested for liquor-relate- d offenses, and contending that they shouldnt City-Coun- ty Puppy Found Home !

As envisioned by Willoughby, the structure would begin with four dormitories, each with few amenities. People arrested for drunken driving, as well as chronic drunks, pure unadulterated filth in Willoughbys words, would be placed there. The unemployed indigents could be assigned to cleanup work projects until their fines are paid off. Those holding jobs could be required to pay room and board for their nightly stays during the incarceration period, the Salt Lake City chief observed. He said a parcel of undeveloped ground at about 300 South and 2400 West might be a suitable location. The land is surrounded by freeways, canals and railroad lines and, as such, is set apart from residential areas. But, he added, that site is just a possibility and COG will have to select the best location. Salt Lake City Councilman Sydney Fonnesbeck, for one, was concerned that Willoughbys proposal might be placing too much responsibility on Salt Lake City, something she didnt think was appropriate since that citys council had not discussed the matter yet. Willoughby and Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson assured her that the venture would not put Salt Lake City or any other city into the jail business. The work facility, they said, would be operated jointly by the countys governments through interlocal agreements.

The proposed incorporation of Taylorsville-Bennio- n was favored here Thursday by a narrow margin by those attending a West Valley Area Chamber of Commerce meeting in which both the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and the County Commission drew criticism. With both members and guests casting ballots, city status for was the margin. A preference by a show of hands indicated only a half dozen at the meeting reside in the area where the election will take place on April 5. Taylorsville-Bennio- n 20-1- 8 In previous incorporation issues, the West Valley Chamber conducted a similar luncheon meeting poll, showing its opposition to Lake Valley City last spring, while favoring the West Valley City incorporation three years ago. Also at Thursdays meeting, a poll of the Chambers board of directors showed their disfavor of recruitment tactics of the Salt Lake Chamber, as well as an expenditure for promotional purposes approved by the County Commission earlier this month. By a vote of 10-- 0 on the first and 1 on the second, board members indicated the West Valley Chamber is opposed to: - Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce recruitment procedures that fail to be consistent with a good neighbor attitude toward other chambers of commerce, procedures 9-- -- that entail hiring outsiders to make recruitment contacts, which have apparently been the source of some discontent chambers among numerous of commerce along the Wasatch Front.

On the latter issue, Commissioner Bart Barker of West Valley City was the lone dissenter on a 1 vote to expend the funds for the conference which was held last week. 2-- "N by Jim Cornwell Here are some selected examples: Watt: The lightest of colors.
