J ta t' t , r Lakeside Review, Wednesday, October 21,1 987 1 1 A CandidatesClinton Dennis Simonsen CLINTON Dennis Simonsen is running for to the Clinton City Council. As a city councilman for the past eight years, I have seen many changes, accomplishments and growth. As these changes continue we will need to address growth in the future, especially with regard to utility facilities and a strong base to help alleviate some of the tax burdens," Simonsen said. Because Clinton is my home I . have enjoyed serving the community in various capacities in the past, he said. Along with his eight years service on the City ; Council, he has been Kiwanis Club president, Lions Club presi-- , dent and was the first president of the citys Little League. He has been employed at Hill ; Air Force Base for the 29 years and is currently the supervisor of an instrument shop. He is also re- tired from the U.S. Marine Corps ' Reserve. The dedication and teamwork ; ; of the present council can be a great asset to Clinton City as we , face the inevitable challenges of ' the future, Simonsen said. light-industri- al V As a financial professional I offer a high level of expertise to the city at a time when the financial stress of federal and state cutbacks is seriously affecting the city. My professional expertise in the financial area would be a f fi-- rn v vy 4 n strong asset for the city, Smith i x said. He is on the Clinton City planning commission, where he has served since January, 1985, and is presently serving as chairman. He also served on the Clinton City board of adjustments, where he was chairman. The time I have spent in public service provides valuable ex- ) perience for serving in public Ll office.

Police and fire departments should be funded at the highest possible level consistent with the citys financial resources. I am particularly concerned about the safety of children walking to and from school. Many of the streets are narrow and few of those leading to schools have sidewalks. Until such time as sidewalks are in place I will work to extend school zones and increase enforcement during peak pedestrian hours, he said. More importantly I have learned that every issue has two sides, both of which are often well taken. It is extremely important that public officials listen to all sides of each issue prior to making decisions or implementing ordinances. There are several issues facing the city. Smith said. One is development and growth. Clinton City should continue to grow and develop in a way f Mark H. Smith which benefits both present resiCLINTON Mark H.

Smith everything from announcing parades, to writing articles for local newspapers, to helping organize the Idaho Special Olympics. Clinton has changed a lot since I grew up here. There are hundreds of new homes, but the business district still looks about the same, she said. There is an effort being made to shift some of that burden. The City Council has appointed a group of citizens called executive strategy committee to look at ways to promote economic development in Clinton, she said. I CLINTON Kim Smith is running for a seat on the Clinton City Council. I am pleased and very excited to announce my candidacy for the Clinton City Council. I join the race with a good political background and plans for involvement, she said. She has both actively and passively participated in city government and politics in general for the past eight years. For two years, she was the citycounty reporter for a radio station in Vail, Colo. After moving to Utah, she handled media relations for the Republican candidate in the 1980 gubernatorial move. Not only will new business help out property taxpayers, it will help make its citizens feel more like a community, rather than simply being a part of the Wasatch Front metropolis, Smith said. Celebrations such as Clinton Fundaze and Clinton U.S.A. Days are also an important part of creating and maintaining that civic bond. I plan on being a very active race.

Blake said Clearfield has always been very efficient in its fire protection commitment to the city. As a word of caution, however, he reminded those present that regardless of whether or not a reported fire has been extinguished before the fire department arrives, the city is now being that wholeheartedly support Dennis Simonsen member of the City Council. The decisions I make will be well researched and thoughtfully considered. My interest lies in seeing that Clinton remains a place where I want to raise my children, Smith said. Because her husband served as Clinton city manager for two years, she has a wealth of back- ground information about the current issues facing Clinton. And the years of my childhood have left me with an intrinsic feeling for what is good for the community.
