28S ear Dwight Day Fillmore City Administrator was the receiver of the Administrator of the Year award from the Utah City Management Association on September 20 1985 given during the Utah League of Cities and Towns of Utah convention The annual convention was held at the Salt Palace this year and Mr Day’s honor was bestowed upon him during the League’s awards dinner at the Marriott Hotel in Salt Lake City Fillmore Mayor Doris Rasmussen said Mr Day’s selection for this prestigious award was based on his everyday work that has saved both time and money for the City of Fillof the more Also as Chairman Board of UAMPS (Utah Assoc of Municipal Power) he was instrumental in the sale of bonds which collectively saved all of the member Fillcities in Utah $124 million more’s share of that savings is $620 thousand Other towns in Millard County have also benefited from this sale of bonds Mayor Rasmussen said among his cited at many other achievements the awards ceremony Mr Day had secured funding for a protective flume for the culinary water system in Fillmore During the last flooding he helped with the coordination of the entities of the Chalk Creek and meaHood plain for preventive sures Also during the dispute with the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) about the original funding of the sewer system the results were that the EPA refunded money to the City of Fillmore instead of the City owing them as was originally claimed Mr Dav established a cash management svstem which has significantly increased interest income for the City He has been able to acquire the financing this year for the sewer lagoon at 6° interest from state agencies which had the City scheduled for no funds until 1989 and A number of other programs ideas were also accomplished by Mr Day that helped save money for Fillmore and helped to improve the community Mayor Rasmussen said F5rrF r X- 'I 3 i Dvvighl ' I9n Rabies clinic to be held in Fillmore USU Extension and the Clubs in Fillmore are
