The resolution was only to show intent and was not legally binding, said city administrator, John Thacker. Construction of the plant has a July 1984 proposed date. Operation of the plant is planned for July of 1986 if enough cities agree to dispose of their solid refuse at the plant. The proposed plant would burn the garbage, converting it to steam which would be sold to Hill Air Force Base while electrical energy would be sold to power companies. Will Jefferies, Wasatch Front Regional Council director previously said there are a number of cities outside of Davis County that have expressed interest in participating in the refuse burn plant. Three of Davis Countys largest cities, Bountiful, Centerville and Layton, have declined their support. (Zt&lb QESinssi GUROV Wednesday, April 11, 1984 Vol. 4 No. 14 Layton Balks at Bookmobile Fee V LYNDIA GRAHAM Review Correspondent LAYTON Its back to the drawing board as far as library bookmobile services goes for Layton, or at least back to meeting with the county Library Board to see if money matters can be worked out to keep the bookmobile service, in Layton. After reviewing a letter to Lay-to- n Mayor Lewis Shields, Lay-to- n Library Board member Lynn Wood told the city council the board felt the suggested funding by the county was unfair to Layton and suggested meeting again with the county board to see if other terms could be agreed upon. The main point of controversy according to Wood was that Davis County has two bookmobiles, one from the state which services the north end of the county and another, sponsored by the county that services all areas south of Farmington. The state estimates that the bookmobile in the north end of the county costs about $65,667 to operate for a year with the state subsidizing $38,581 of that leaving the actual county cost - near. $27, 186. The County Library Board es- timated Laytons share of that subsidy to be $7,465 based on Laytons share of population in the county. Taking the yearly cost of running the bookmobile at $65,667 and considering that the north end bookmobile is in Layton 52 percent of the time, the county figured Laytons share of the service at $34,540 less the share of the subsidy for a total cost to the city of $27,075. But Wood said that formula is unfair to Layton because it does not take into consideration that the bookmobile in the south .end of the county sponsored by the county is budgeted at $3,709 to operate in the Davis County budget, thus being much less expensive to operate than the north end bookmobile. I services Chamber Drops 5 x,' - Jeanne Layton, Director of Libraries for the county, said that the bookmobile for the south end is leased from the state for $10 per year. It became a surplus bookmobile following state cutbacks which were made three years ago. The county maintains, staffs and stocks the bookmobile for use within the. south end of the county. Ms. Day said that the $3,709 budgeted is not all inclusive, since it does not reflect supervisors time, some staff and tech- nical V Officials BARRY KAWA Review WMGTOH - ' CUV i m. . CHj .I expenses, emergency road repairs or costs absorbed in county shop housing. But Wood said that the cost of both bookmobiles should be combined and that amount averaged out over the county in order to be fair to all county ' ' ' , residents. By taking the cost of operating both bookmobiles at budgeted costs, Wood estimated the total cost for the county to be just over $102,000. Subtracting the state subsidy of $27,186 the approximate county cost for both bookmobiles would be near V' Mv ' ' ' ,, V - 'X ' ' "V S' s $64,000. According to Wood Layton uses the bookmobile about 25 percent of the total county time which he said should result in Layton paying 25 percent of the total cost of the county which he said comes to just over $16,000. Since Layton withdrew from the Davis County Library system more than 3 years ago it has paid approximately $14,000 per year for the bookmobile service. Under the new formula, which is to take effect July 1 of this year, the city would be required to pay $13,537 for six months service through the end of this year., Ms. Day said that the new formula accommodates everyone. She added that in the past when the formula was based on time use only Layton had, in effect, been receiving half of the state subsidy which penalized people in other cities. & Review Staff ' FARMINGTON Operation of the Davis County community service and restitution program has been turned over to Utah State Adult Probation and Parole from the Davis County Sheriffs Department. Beginning April 10, offenders who have been sentenced to community work for convictions such as DUIs will be supervised through Adult Probation and Parole. According to Sheriffs Department Capt. Jim Stewart, this . LAYTON Unhappy with neglect from local officials, the North Davis Chamber of Commerce Association has decided to eliminate all representation but from the three local chambers on its board of directors. The move eliminates a voting board member from each North .Davis city but officials from Kaysville, Layton and Clearfield Chamber of Commerces will still be retained on the board. North Davis Chamber Executive Chairman Hersh Ipaktchian explained the association was upset because the commissioners or HAFB would invite the Salt Lake and Ogden Chambers for input on decisions that affected North Davis. He said a recent incident happened at Hill Field when people from Salt Lake and Ogden Chambers were involved on the board for the proposed aeronautical museum. When it came to raising money through donations, then they came after us, Ipaktchian said. He also claimed that the res- tructuring was important for political reasons due to the large number of elected officials from various cities who attended the ' meetings. We got into a little difficulty when these people would have a little political feud or problem with not getting the right grant money, Ipaktchian And the Chamber explained. board would suffer lack of attendance. The. reorganization leaves the three chamber presidents and three representatives of each on the board of directors. Ipaktch- ian remains executive chairman and Ron Richins executive treasurer. Representatives dropped include a mayor or councilman from each North Davis city. When informed of the boards restructuring Monday, Layton Mayor Lewis B. Shields said he does not have any heartburn about those people keeping that going. As far as them reorganizing, I would think the good part about this whole thing is they, are all still together, he said. Ipaktchian said the chamber decided since they were more geared toward the business community, they would just limit the board to business leaders. The North Davis Chamber of Commerce represents about 300 active members of the local bus- iness community. When, you t . Photo by Rodney Wright DEJA VU? Scenes like this one in Farmington where the road is being eaten away by undergroundwater appear to be much like the damage caused by the Flood of 83. But officials say the flood of 1984 may be even greater and the need to be better prepared is also greater. The Lakeside Review has pub- lished a special Flood Guide in this issue to help area residents get ready for the flood potential. Restitution Program Goes to Adult Probation BARRY KAWA Staff signed in the sheriffs office as a contact person in the program.

He added the parole dept, originally supervised all community service work' but they felt the program could be better handled under the sheriffs depart' ment. But its become a much larger program, than they initially ex- pected, he said. Weve also found there was some duplication in what they were doing and what we were doing. Weber said the parole dept, will cancel two weekly briefing meetings given by the Sheriffs Dept, to people on the community service program. The offenders who sign an agreement at the parole dept, to work the designated hours will be briefed then, he said. Weber said after July 1, his department will probably be hiring additional staff to handle the rapidly expanding workload on the program. As of March 16, 1984, the community services program has had 360 offenders who have served. 16,043 hours'. have a small chamber, your voice isnt very loud, Ipaktchian said. So when we group together and say we represent the business community of North Davis, theyll listen to us a little better.
