Candidate supports Lake Valley City By JERRY OLSEN Its likely that if Lake Valley City is rejected by voters that all incorporated areas will be annexed within a year. This is the opinion of Kaye Brimley, who is a member of the Lake Valley study committee and the Magna community Council. Brimley is one of two people in the Magna area who have announced their candidacy for council members. Kaye first became involved with Lake Valley as a study member last fall. In annexation, the people in the areas that want to incorporate you have the vote. For instance, if West Valley decided to incorporate Magna, the people in Magna couldnt vote against it. The county has to contract ar.d provide an excellent service to Lake Valley in order to make it work, said Brimley. She said the new city would be looking at their own services within a year or two or as soon as enough money is available. I was very unhappy with the way the plan for Lake Valley was originally drawn said Brimley. The Lake Valley study points out a reasonable salary for a full-tim- e mayor and part-- t ime council members. Brimley said the study committee used some of the statistics of the West Valley report, but the problem with West Valley is that the guidelines of that particular report werent followed. Kaye feels that it is essential to follow the original guidelines of the Lake Valley report . $35,000 was spent on the West report, whereas only $17,000 was spent on the Lake Valley report. The Lake Valley report is just as accredible as the West Valley report , said Kaye. staff. toy aroDmamces caumfidlacy businessman, Stay has owned and managed his own company for the past twelve years. He has also served as a commander in a military unit and spent several years in executive positions in his A church. If elected Mayor, Stay wants to involve the community councils in the chartering of the new city and would ask for their input into drawing up ordinances. He wants to see the individual communities keep their identity and would encourage the contown home their of tinuance celebrations. costs. We wont have to increase taxes immediately if Lake Valley doesnt have new services from the beginning, said Brimley. The mayor and council will have to settle for the minimum for the first two years, which means they cant insist on high salaries and a huge business office. The new government will have to operat e on a low fringe because of pressure from people who dont want higher taxes, With regard of services, Brimley said it is recommended in the study committee that the new city contract with the county for them. She added that in two years, Lake Valley City should reasses the value of franchise. For instance, in the case of the fire department, the people of the city can buy materials at a depreciated rate. If the new city decides to improve services in the future, a new fire station can be built, and new materials can be bought if needed. West Valley City is a different situation, said Brimley. West Valley started its own fire department, bought new buildings and trucks, and hired a new Wilford G. Bill Stay today announced his candidacy for the position of Mayor of Lake Valley City. Stay, a native of Utah, has served on community councils in Kearns and Cottonwood Heights, two of the areas affected by the formation of the new city. up by petitioners because it wasnt effective for the west side of the valley, said Kaye. She added that even though the mayor may put pressure on the people of that area to go against the west side issues. The new city will increase taxes to about $8 million, which translates to a $6.50 increase per capita to start up new city Each community council Stay says, should have more say in the functions of planning and zoning for their own areas, especially in the granting of conditional use permits. Stay would encourage the members of the city council to attend all of the community council meetings in their district, and as mayor would want to attend as many as possible himself. He want to be close to the people he is serving he says. Stay also wants to see the new city operate on a cash basis and believes it can be done with proper planning. Taxes are high enough, he says, without having to pay interest with tax money. Kaye feels that people are opposed to the new city because theyre afraid of it, and dont understand what it sail about. It is her opinion that anyone who is afraid to find information about Lake Valley is going to vote against it. The community councils in unincorporated areas have been encouraged to have educational sessions which explain what he new cit y is all about . t Kaye was bom in the Holladay area, and graduated from Olympus High School.
