Show Lakeside Review, Wednesday, September 25, 1985 7A Five in Layton Run for Positions on City Council Dale F. Goede Dale F. Goede LAYTON has announced his candidacy for the Layton City Council two-ye- ar seat. A resident of Layton for 22 said Goede if elected, he years, would be willing to commit time and energy required to serve all the citizens of Layton with honesty and integrity. He lists as his primary concerns opposition to any tax increase, growth for the city, and working with the planning commission, parks and recreation and other city departments to insure members have the best available training, equipment and tools to accomplish their jobs. He said he would work with the planning commission to use and follow the approved Master Plan for Layton. He would like to see the city mayor, council, manager and department heads trained and working together to make Layton the best community to live in - a community you can again be proud to say you live in, he said. He will listen to the citizens concerns on issues, he said. A management analyst for data systems, Goede has been and is involved with management planning, budgeting (labor factors, financial and material), and computer systems for a production division of approximately 3,000 people for the past 15 years in the U.S. Air Force. His other job titles have included industrial engineering technician and industrial systems well-plann- ed specialist. I feel with my background working with management and management reporting data systems gives me the ability to make good sound decisions, which will be an asset to me as a councilman for Layton City, Goede said. Married, with five children, he has been active in the Davis County recreation program for 13 years. He served four years in the Air Force, is active in church, and is a district Boy Scout leader. He enjoys outdoor activities, including camping, boating, fishing and hunting. proaches to the tremendous challenges facing one of the fastest growing cities in the state, he said. Layton City has suffered through some extremely difficult and sometimes embarrasing events over the past few years. Its now time to elect individuals who are better prepared and who have deeper experience in effective and quality management skills to help put Layton city back on track. Even greater challenges and harder decisions will face Layton during a rapid growth phase over the next five to 10 years, Hansen said. Layton residents deserve representation that can properly manage their city and in whom they have confidence that all of the affairs of the city are operated in a manner they would expect from a city. Hansen was raised in Davis County and educated in Davis County Schools and is a graduate of Davis High School. He holds a bachelors degree in comunica-tion- s from the University of Utah and a masters degree in business administration (MBA) from Utah State University . Upon graduation from USU, he spent 10 years in management with a $4 billion national firm. Seven of those years were spent as a regional operations manager for one of that firms regional offirst-cla- ss fices. Currently he is a sales representative for a large, national health care company. He has served in the United States Air Force and was honorably discharged in 1974. He is married and has three children. I look forward to the opportunity to sit on the Layton City Council and represent the citizens of Layton. I believe that with hard work, quality management pracatices, and building on a commitment to professionalism, Layton City can beocme a for other cities throughout Utah, Hansen said. role-mod- el Don Crockett LAYTON Don Crockett, an incumbent candidate for Layton City Council, has been a resident of Layton for 43 years.

Hood has announced her candidacy for a two-yeseat on the Layton City Council. A primary election will be held in the city Oct. 8. Ms. Hood believes local elecn tions affect the daily lives of residents as much, if not more, than national elections. Layton city, she pointed out, has the highest mill levy in the county and she believes residents are ar Lay-to- not getting their moneys worth. We need a city council that listens and responds to the concerns and needs of everyone, equal representation from all areas of the city, a council that is capable of dealing with rapid expansion and the future without spot zoning and tax increases, she said. I believe that I could be part of such a council. My only special interest group is you, because Im one of you and I have to live with my conscience longer than my constituents. Ms. Hood said in the 1 years she and her family have lived in Layton, she has watched with concern as Layton grew from a small farming community to the largest city in Davis County. It will continue to grow whether we like it or not. Those of us already here must tak an active part in the city. I would like to see a reduction in the mill levy and a total end to the franchise tax. I believe that it can be done with efficient city services and planning, Ms. Hood said. The candidate was reared in an Air Force family. She graduated 1 Primary Voting Oct, 8 TERESA H. HOOD DALE F.

Ann Harris , LAYTON Stressing the need for strong experienced leadership to renew the credibility of city government, businesswoman and City Council member Ann Harris is seeking the position as Laytons mayor. We need to .open up the city to citizen comments with an open door government, she said, including a mayor holding regular office hours to discuss any issue with any citizen. We also need to focus on economic development to provide attractive jobs and increase our tax base. The fact that we have some of the finest park and recreation programs in Utah is proof that city government can upgrade the quality of life with strong leadership. The candidate has held a succession of leadership positions serving on committees of the Utah League of Cities and Towns, the Economic Development Committee, the Layton Planning Commission and presiding over the Layton Chamber of Commerce. She has been honored as Laytons Citizen of the Year and was named Woman of the Year by Beta Sigma Phi and the Citizen Planner of the Year by the American Planners Association. The experience in her independent business operation and city government offer a background needed for a city with growing pains, she said. Citizens should demand that city government operate in a rational and common sense manner, using its public monies wisely for the benefit of the people, she said. At this juncture, with our city already the largest in Davis County and projected to grow more rapidly than any other county area through the year 2000, an experienced mayor with a background in business and city government is essential.

He indicated that his administration would focus on better fiscal and monetary policies; a restructuring of the citys resources and equipment for improved services; and, finally, increasing the tax base through industrialization. He said city revenues should be reviewed in terms of the service to the people to avoid tax increases. A complete traffic study of the citys streets should be undertaken in view of the present and future use and upkeep. Layton lags in industrial growth behind other cities of comparable size," Johnson said. Plans for industrial growth should be taken to provide a greater tax base and better utilize our labor force in developing Layton City. As the fastest growing com- -' munity in the county, our growth dictates a need for concurrent financial, land use, and industrial planning. Apartment complexes serve the population; however, they also increase demands for services. I would promote greater use of the Fort Lane Shopping ANN HARRIS I a ' NATHANIEL C.
