Group proposes end to surprise bills Legislators endorse a ban on bills that pop up during special sessions Th Atucusd Pw - A SALT LAKE CITY group of legislators is proposing a ban on surprise bills that pop up in legislative special sessions. The Legislative Process Committee on Tuesday unanimously endorsed changes aimed at allowing citizen comment during special sessions. Lawmakers also want more or at lead time to consider least read - bills thrust at them minutes before a vote. Panel members recommended that Gov. Mike Leavitt be required to give at least seven days notice in calling a special session. - -- The committee's proposal would require that any bill con Jail From 1 sat on a committee years ago from the neighborhood," I TIM SCHOOSi Standard Ejiamnef Casey Eberhard of Clearfield High slams one home for the school during the competition at Spirit Day, held at Lagoon on with Layton High Schools Paul Beutler in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

When Clearfield High student- body officers heard that the an-- I nual tradition was not being held, they spearheaded efforts to hold a Spirit Day this year at a differ-- ! ent location. Clearfield students contacted Lagoon, and Lagoon agreed to host the event. Its hard to find a place to host us, said Belinda Kuck, the From 1 traffic flow within North Salt Lake. Gravel trucks are now routed onto the citys frontage road road, and that is being damaged by the increased truck traffic, they said. reBrent DeYoung, an construction oversite manager, said the light was installed because of safety concerns after the closure of the 600 North interchange in Salt Lake City. That has caused all the trucks that used to go to that intersection to go south, and take Beck Street onto he said. Now, the closest southbound route is at that 300 South crossing in North Salt Lake. city-own- said. ; 24-ho- special-sessio- proclamation n just two hours before the meeting began to address a complicated tax-lachange. In April 1996, Leavitt called lawmakers into special session to approve a controversial measure aimed at curbing gay and lesbian support groups in public schools. The bill was not available for public inspection - or even provided to lawmakers -until more than an hour after the meeting began. "Our track record hasn't been too good," said Rep.

Clearfield took first place, Layton took second, and Davis had zero points. Each school also chose one participant to represent it in the Slam Dunk competition. Each participant had five chances to slam-dun- k a basketball into a ten-fohigh basket. Dunks were judged on creativity and difficulty. Clearfield was the winner, Layton was a close second, and Davis was a Im hot, said a panting Casey Eberhard, the slam dunk representative from Clearfield, after his turn at the basket. This is way fun, but I need some shade. I love to slam the basketball. A competition also tested the skill of students. Each teen tried to sink a hole in one. Layton and Clearfield tied for first.

Layton took second place and Clearfield came in third. One of the biggest crowd-draw- s during the day was the battle of the bands competition. This was not a marching band competition, but a hard rock, g band contest. Lagoon officials said they were a little concerned about the noise level of the bands and threatened to poll the plug on the bands if things got out of hand. The noise of the bands, plus hundreds of teenagers, was loud - really loud - but Lagoon officials didnt seem to mind. Layton High Schools band was awarded the best band prize, and Clearfield came in at second. When all was said and done, the totals were tallied. Clearfield led the battle with 79 points, followed by Layton at 70 points and Davis at 35 points. Clearfield took home the spirit trophy this year. head-bangin- Taxes From 1 for his approval, said Cook, referring to Dean Storey, the city finance director. We still have the money without raising taxes. If we raise them we will be the second highest-taxe- d city in the county. We will have to say no to some projects. But Councilman Stephen Whitesides said the city needs to go through the process for raising taxes and see if the residents want to raise taxes to improve other streets. We have a lot of road needs, Whitesides said. A lot of our roads used to be gravel. Whitesides said he has had a lot of people contact him, saying they dont care if they have to pay more taxes as long as the roads are fixed. I say let's do it, he said. I dont mind paying more if its Many of the gravel trucks pick up their loads from the pus in the North Salt Lake area. DeYoung said several traffic engineers are studying the situation, reportedly with the Wasatch Construction consortium, which is the project firm, and developing a new system, to handle the problem. Whenever theres a new signal, it affects traffic, DeYoung said. He noted that adjustments planned for the traffic signal include installing permanent loop detector sensors instead of the temporary microwave sensors there, which he said are much less effective. When the 600 North interchange reopens in the fall of 1998, the 300 South signal will be removed, he added. ' going to fix the roads. If you keep all road surfaces on the upper curve, it will take $900,000 a year to maintain, said City Manager John Thacker. We have streets that are 50 years old and nothing has been done to them, but we still use them. Im all for not raising taxes, said Councilman Robert Rees. It seems to me we need to get feedback to see if residents are willing to pay more taxes to get better roads. . The city has plans now to work only on the roads with the highest priority. - Cook said that when he talked to residents, the roads they are concerned about are on that ai .7 list. Within four years, 200 North from Flint to Angel will have to be done,said Major Arthur Johnson, listing one ture priority. fu- IPQOli C |
