Just as we cant move with our lifestyle preferance to the area of Roy above the tracks, we feel the same courtesy should be shown us 8 in not having the congested housing being put among us where definite forms of friction are bound to be created. 1 feel Roy has the opportunity to create and grow into a town with development for each persons tastes. This pattern has already been set. years ago 8 R-l-- The East portion has high density housing, parks, a recreation complex, library, two swimming pools, tennis courts, fire and police station and many businesses. Then below the RR tracks there is a golf course, posse grounds, with excellent development possibilities for a large park with riding and nature trails, four large housing developments with only half acre and larger lots allowing horses and other large animals, a new large animal practice on five acres which serves Weber, Davis counties. Even further, there are greenhouses and people with homes on acreage with a preferance for horses and farm type living. Why not continue! ! !

I also feel we are not represented well in this area as none of the council members live here, or share our enjoyment of this way of life. With so much being shown in the news media of the need for less spoiling of our earth with overcrowding, etc., I wish the council would open their minds to a more variable There seems to be a large concern for the young people and where they will live, but no mention is given of the future middle aged persons, and those already here who will and do like a more open way of living. The city seems to have so many problems now with the secondary water system, crime, and streets always needing repair. With all the development going on around Roy, why not keep this town a little better with some thing for each taste. Why were we asked our opinion four years ago as to how to develop this western half, and then even that is turned aside?

Former Roy Fire Chief Ken Hancock had asked for three e men to be added to the department additional beginning July 1. This request was denied by City Manager Wayne Kimber in his efforts to balance the budget. It was expressed by Kimber that the addition of these three men would then change the concept of the department from a e volunteer organization to a group and the council added expense. this wanted if to decide needed they Chief Darrell Mcllrath of Bountiful, a city with a population of 38,000, indicated that at the present time, their e men including himself, with two department has six more being added after July 1 . He said that two men per shift Monday through Friday has been sufficient to take care of the calls that city is getting, running both an ambulance service and responding to fire calls. The way they would handle a situation if the department received both a fire and ambulance call simultaneously, he work force said, would be by calling upon their part-tim- e which includes some 14 city employees and 16 other interested residents. workers for the fire department are not These part-tim- e inexperienced help, Chief Mcllrath emphasized, as they sign up for weekend duty, working 24 hours on either Saturday or Sunday. A majority of them are also Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) so when they are needed, they can respond to ambulance calls. As to cutting costs, this type of system really helps as the city pays, he estimated, only one third the cost of hiring e men to have the same kind of coverage for a enough size. their city Oh, its the dream of every fire chief to have enough men to meet his needs, but its just not possible. With city budgets being tight, they just cant afford to increase their full time force fast enough to keep up with the demand, Chief Mcllrath said. This is something the new fire chief should look into as he will not have a chance to adjust his budget much during the coming year. The major concern of most of the firemen at the Roy station is that they are not covered by volunteers between the hours of 6a.m. to 5 p.m., while most are at work and unable to respond quick enough. If city employees were encouraged to take the EMT e course, sign up for duty part of the time to relieve men to get the necessary training, there would be enough coverage during these hours. As it stands now, Roy City does not have sufficient fire force to adequately protect its 20,000 residents during the force system used by Boundaytime hours. This part-timtiful should be looked into by city officials as a definite possibility while cutting costs. . full-tim- full-tim- ahead and ask.
