Show T 6A Lakeside Review North, Wednesday, September State OKs Funds for 12, 1984 DIAMOND Lake Dike RINGS JEWELERS ONE WEEK ONLY' The state legislature has approved funding for a county diking study to determine location, length and height of dikes needed if the level of the Great Salt Lake cbntinues to rise. The diking itself would cost millions. An actual estimate is not available since no study has been made on the diking propos- it : iW&: , al. In its special session last week, $600,000 was approved for engineering studies and preliminary designs to begin on a number of flood control projects to control the lake. The county study is included in this, said County Com- Chairman mission Glen Saunders. MP Our county 'would be the most impacted if the lake level rises next year, he said. The study will examine diking the whole eastern shore of the lake, which would include Davis County, Salt Lake County and possible Weber and Box Elder counties also, he said. Selective diking of certain areas will also be considered. One would be to dike from Cherry Lane in Farmington to Cudahay Lane in North Salt Lake to protect cities from next years projected lake elevation, which could break records. The State Division of Water Resources will hire engineering firms to conduct the studies to be made We are talking many millions of dollars for the diking. Its very difficult to come up with a al estimate at this point, however, until we know whatweare faced with, Saunders said, y' The lake elevation for next year is expected to peak at anywhere from 4,211 to 4,215 feet above sea level. This year, the lake reached an almost unprecedented recorded level of 4,209.25. SHOWS location of West Park in Roy which could get a boost from federal funds. Funds May Expedite Roy Park ROY If Roy City is success- ful in its application for a $109,000 federal grant, the citys new West Park could be almost completed by fall 1985. the Roy City Council voted to ; apply for the funds after holding a bublic hearing on the issue.

Major items included in the list of priority needs are four tennis courts, bleachers for the soccer field, lighting for the baseball and soccer fields, a restroom and concession stand for the baseball area, and paving and access for the north parking lot. Located at 4600 S. 3000 W., West Park is scheduled to open for the fall soccer and football season. It is basically just fields now, but the parking lot is ready and a restroom and two boweries are under constructio," said Roy City Manager Richard Kirkwood. Hopes are that it will increase west Roys desirability, encouraging further development. The city has four other parks, all of which are on the Roys east side. Drinking on Midway Worries City FARMINGTON The city council agreed last week to write a letter of concern to Lagoon Corp. officials about youths dqnking liquor on the midway of the amusement park.

Individuals recently ap- proached Lagoon officials and complained about the situation, he said. Farmingtons Chief of Police Val Morton told the city council that local police cant deal with the situation in the way we would like to, since the area is out of their authority.

Farmington Seeks Grant for New Park A modern FARMINGTON park, not yet complete, may be partially funded by a $1 18,000 federal grant the city is and lighting. The park road, also the citys obligation, will cost an additional $30,000, which will come from city funds, said For- requesting. bush. North Farmington Park, located on Shephard Lane near The park will have a jogging track, a baseball diamond, three softball diamonds, two soccer fields, two picnic areas and four tennis courts. The school has completed its portion of the park, including sodding the ground, building the baseball diamond, two softball diamonds, and the soccer fields. The church will construct the softball diamond as part of its 20-ac- re TThe Knowlton Elementary School, is being jointly constructed by the school, a local LDS church, and the city. The outdoor recreational grant would finance 50 percent of the portion. Farmington citys is also in the process of acquiring five more acres of land for the park. It will be a few months, however, before city officials are notified about the grant success. Last year, there were over $5 million submitted for the recreational grants, but only $850,000 was available. lIt might be a long shot, but well try for it, said city manager Max Forbush. , The citys park improvement cost is estimated at $360,000, wHjich consisting a parking lot, sidewalk, restroom, tennis courts s park obligations. t The deadline to file the grant application was Sept. 5, and requires the city match the funding by 50 percent. We dont have the dollars right now, but we have the resource on the land up there, Forbush said. Since the city must sign a letter saying that the funds are available, this is putting the cart before the horse, said Mayor Merrill Petty. 1 f i X t RUTH MALAN Work has beKAYSVILLE on a Barton Ponds at gun park on 50 West in Kaysville. The Clearfield Job Corps is in the process of doing the grading of the land. Scott Balling of Balling Construction and a resident of Palos Verdes subdivision adjacent to the proposed park, donated his time and labor by staking out the park in preparation for the grading and surveying of the property.

An application made by the city for a grant for funds to develop the park was denied, said Mrs. Maughn. The blueprints which include a softball field, soccer field, a playground, a bowery and a jogging trail, were done by the Montgomery Engineering. Changes in the plans were made by Balling.
