One of the owners of the building, Jeanne Layton, said they felt it was unwise to gamble on a coin toss for the remaining $87,000. But it still is.a significant amount to help it along, she noted. So I guess it goes back to the old adage, a bird in the hand is worth two in a bush. The other estimated $43,500 will go to the South Davis Fire District for earthquake retrofitting proofing of its building in West Bountiful.

He came to the city offices to check on the time for the public hearing about the matter. He also wanted to know' why the public hearing was scheduled for 8:30 p.m. , and the council moved it up to 8 p.m. He said that he was told by Mayor Neil Blackburn that the time given to the press had been 7:30 p.m. and the agenda had mistakenly said 8:30, so they started the meeting at 8 p.m. Councilman Bruce Ericksen said that he was not too sure the city should be in the business of water. ' regulating We shouldnt tell people they cant have a basement, he said. But Duncan stated the councils position, that they have a responsibility to citizens to keep them from building where the water table is high. city-ha- CENTERVILLE Developers in Centerville criticized the water citys draft of a ordinance last week at the request of city officials. Lee Duncan asked developers present at the last city council meeting to write their comments on the draft so that the city could draw up a suitable ordinance for future housing developers. One criticism by George Hoffman, Willow Farms developer, was aimed at the prohibition of basements in the ordinance. I should be able to flood my basement if thats my choice, he said, defending the right to build houses with basements. He also questioned the city on who would maintain the subsurface drainage required in the ordinance, saying that the home owners association should not be responsible. They could be nonexistent in a few years, he said. Existing subdivisions should be exempt from the ordinance, sub-surfa- he said. Another developer, Ron Trump, was more concerned about the vague wording of the ordinance. There are so many little things that need to be clarified, and reworded. A developer could spin his wheels trying to please somebodys wim, he said. sub-surfa- ce The first owner who built the home may not mind having to deal with a basement swimming pool, he said, but the home could be passed on from one unsuspecting owner to another. The council is asking for comments and will present another draft ordinance at a June public hearing. Drafts will be available at the city offices two weeks before the meeting 1 Leaders Emerge Index has already shown its face, be ready for the weather with :some rain suits made for .
