' This would be achieved through a community leaders network, a core group made up of seven persons from all three sectors. Members of the group would include Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson, County Commissioner D. Michael Stewart, Fred Ball of the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, three blue chip business leaders and one mayor on a rotating basis. The group would also receive staff support from the various entities. The EDA would have three major goals, according to Goodwin. - The group would research about 20 businesses each year and narrow that number down to five, based on the desirability of having that com- - 437-un- it area l from its existing (commer(agricultural) and A-- C-- 2 cial) to R-(high density residential). It is also seeking permission to build 27 units per acre on the lot, considerably more than the 20 e limit. The zone change narrowly passed (by a 3 vote) in the City Planning Commission Oct. 13 with members split on whether or not the area could handle the increased population. Some commission members, as well as members of the planning staff, flew to Phoenix (at the developers expense) before the vote to view three similar projects there. .All agreed the Phoenix projects were unusually well managed and would be a definite asset to the city. The members who voted against the zone change felt, however, it should be built somewhere besides 4000 So. Redwood Road. City Manager John Newman told the council Tuesday night the Sunburst project is the best multifamily proposal weve been offered, adding that the real decision faced by the council is whether or not the area can handle another 437 units.

Newman also advised that the developer be required to increase its $25,000 park fee offer. The same group gave Layton $86,000 in park fees when it built a comparably sized project there, Newman noted. If the zone change is approved by the council tonight, Empire West Co. will have to return to the Planning Commission for a conditional use permit before the project can be built. In addition to the Sunburst proposal, the council is expected to reach decisions tonight on the following matters: The council will act on Newmans suggestion that a no parking restriction be put into effect on all four quadrants of the intersection of 3500 South and 5600 West. Newman noted that trucks parking in front of the on the southwest corner of the intersection were creating a dangerous situation. The Southland Corporation will appeal a Planning Commission decision which denied Southland the right to install gasoline pumps in front of the franchise at 5600 W. 4100 South. The commission followed a planning staff recommendation to deny the request on grounds the pumps would add to an already hazardous parking situation at the store.

A report on shared service possibilities in Salt Lake County was a major topic of dri'ssion v hen the County Council ( overurnents met here Thursdav during a meeting in which the group selected West Valley City Mayor Jerry Maloney as the 1984 president. The report, which has been included for discussion on the past several agendas, is expected to be a topic of discussion in many COG meetings to come. Murray Mayor LaRell Muir, chairman of the committee which prepared the report, said COG needs to tackle the shared service proposal slowly, one part at 1 munity,he said. Nov. 10, 1983 a time, like were eating an elephant. In addition to existing municipalities, communities which have given thought to incorporation are show mg an interest m the shared services concept. The report offers 13 recommendations toward making shared services a reality. Several of these recommendations have posed problems for implementing the shared services approach. One of these deals with procedures for the lateral transfer of employees between local governments. Alta Mayor Bill Levitt said many times one city will train an employee, then another city will lure that trained worker away with its ability to pay type of mechanism is needed lo prevent this stealing of services,' according to Levitt. Another area of concern to mayors is the rapid technological changes. One of the reports recommendations states, Given the rapid changes in technology, especially in the communications and data processing fields, cooperative action should be considered before large expenditures are made by each of several entities for equipment or processes which may become obsolete in a relatively short time. With several entities maximizing the use of fewer individual pieces of equipment, replacement costs might be cut considerably. In other business, Maloney, West Valleys second mayor, was selected COG president for 1984, with Midvale Mayor Trent Jeppson as vice president and Draper Mayor Glenn Cannon continuing as treasurer. The officers will be installed during the annual meeting of COG at West Valley City Hall on Wednesday. The group also discussed flooding problems at the Great Salt Lake. Flooding this year is one of the foremost problems in costs to county residents, according to County higher wages. Some -- Commissioner Bart Barker. Breaching the causeway on the Great Salt Lake is one of the major priorities of flood control officials. (See Page 7, Col. 1) 7-- Election Of Board Members On Agenda TAYLORSVILLE.

Those of us whose fathers had tasted it warned that wars horrors were the things remembered, not its glamour. That was the message, too, of the leaders of veterans organizations when they stood on our schools stage to speak. But war seems to be built into mans makeup and each generation has to learn all over again the truth of the war is hell admonition. Perhaps the fear that envelops all of us when the potential holocaust of a nuclear conflict is brought to mind has somewhat changed that.

In the rejection and revulsion people feel toward war today, there is an unintentional tendency to forget the men and women who are supposed to be honored by tomorrows recognition. And thats a shame. Those who answered the call in 1917, 1941, 1950 and 1964 deserve the nations gratitude. They were victims of events over which they had no control. Each made a contribution to our nations strength. So just as we honored the veterans in our youth, we continue to do so tomorrow. Whereas Armistice Day paid tribute to less than five million Americans, Veterans Day acknowledges over 30 million who subsequently have worn their nations uniform in time of war. |
