Show ' 4C Davis Library Card Easier for Layton Residents to Obtain Lakeside Review North, Wednesday, Jan, 11, 1984 LYNDIA GRAHAM' Review Corrttpoodtnt LAYTON Layton library users will find getting a card from the county library system a little easier in 1984. Since the city withdrew from .the county system over 2 years ago those wanting to use the countys libraries had to purchase a card at the cost of $10 per family. The fee has been raised to $25 by'the county but, as in the past, the city will pick up the tab for the cost of the card. Last year each card holder had to purchase the card at a library' and then present their receipt to the city which later mailed the to the card holder. The delay in being for the card was of prime concern to Layton City Councilman Bob Stevenson, especially when it became apparent that the county would more than double the fee. ' He told the city fathers that he felt that the delay in might present a hardship on some- families and possibly even keep some Layton families ' from applying for cards. But last week at a special city council meeting the city okayed the payment of the increased fees by the city to the county -- k J '4 1 J - v f t '' vitf :w g ? :v : r 1 , i w8, '4 i " i'W Um in Roy lies in motorists to bank of snow pushed to the side of 1900 West by HIGHWAY sign directing No Cure in 15 &?

Sight Snow SHELLEY KANCITIS in Roy were slick, but said that until more salt is available,, there would be no improvement. As for alternatives to the salt and sand .mix, Faulkner explained ' that untreated salt or straight sand freezes and balls up creating large chunks that disable plows. To make the salt usable, chemicals are added which lower the freezing point. According to Bud Powers, manager of the Salt and Specialty Chemical Division of GSL, relief is imminent. He predicted there would be ample supplies of treated salt by Jan. 9. Because of the demand this year, we had to harvest in new ponds that needed preparation and are difficult to get to, but we should have enough for everyone shortly. Powers said that in the initial stages of harvesting new ponds, to allocate limited , GSL had supplies. Like Roy, many cities were then faced with distributing scarce salt on a priority basis. Even with adequate salt supplies, problems remain such as seven foot drifts containing parked cars. After homeowners finally shovel out their cars,, it often leaves ice chunks hidden in the drifts, said Max Reeves,-Roypublic works director.

Record breaking snows have given Roy, like other Lakeside cities, a collective headache that neither city officials or homeowners can cure. In one day, I got 45 phone calls at home from people com- , plaining about snow removal problems, said Roy City Manager Richard Kirkwood! Although sympathetic to resi- -' dents frustrations, Kirkwood and other city officials say that the unusually severe conditions prevent road crews from alleviating some annoying and occasionally hazardous situations. Our biggest problem right now is not having enough salt, said Dennis Faulkner, streets superintendent, during a recent Roy City Council meeting. He said that the citys supplier, Great Salt Lake and Mineral right across the road. Although Faulkner said an ordinance to temporarily ban onstreet parking would help tremendously, no action was takR en. And its not only frustration levels that are soaring. So are costs. Three of Roys five plows are partially damaged. Along with repair costs, the city faces higher prices for salt. Last year salt cost $6.95 per ton. Special supplies to tide the city over un- - til regular suppliers are available cost $13.95 a ton and salt purchased from GSLs new harvest will cost $9 per ton. Despite these added fiscal demands, 'Kirkwood predicts nega- effects on the street maintenance budget will be moderated. The main impact will be less money for street tive -- overlay work next spring. Most Of our money will probably go to repairing storm related damages like pot holes! MEDICAL - and arranged with the county to directly pay them for the cards used by Layton families. Monthly the city will pay the county for the cards issued thus n eliminating the need for the users to present their receipt to the city and then wait for Lay-to- While the increase in the cost of the cards will cost the city approximately $8,000 according to an earlier estimate by Stevenson the city will still be putting over $150,000 into a Layton library fund, after paying for the cards and the bookmobile service within Layton. Stevenson said that the city is still considering the issue of whether or not to rejoin the county system but further meetings with the couty commissioners have not been set to further negotiate. Last month the Layton Library Committee, formed to investigate the posiblilities of Layton building its own library, recommended that Layton not rejoin the system and turn its library funds back over to the county without a definite time limit on getting a library in Layton. The. issue of the time limit will quite likely be the largest hurdle to overcome between the city and the county when they meet.
