The annual CDBG funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development disbursed through the Council of Governments were recently awarded with $785,227 of the total going to six Davis cities.

Kaysville City Manager John Thacker said the $310,000 his city will receive will be used to make improvements to 50 West Street, running east of the Kaysville Ponds. Thacker said the road needs repairs because of the home construction in that area. Thacker said the CDBG award is the most the city has received m one lump sum and the first CDBG funds they have received since 1994.

Buying the building allows the agency to expand their offices onto the main floor.

The State Attorney General's office is now conducting a criminal investigation into Williams alleged actions, which include him making an extra $80,000 in his job between 1993 and 1996 and being overpaid $29,500. The investigation is expected to be complete sometime in March. non-prof- Jenson, 20-ye- ar By LORI J NAKAYU Standard Examiner correspondent SOUTH WEBER - The South Weber City Council members will visit the Claude Nix Construction Company tonight at 5 to tour the grounds to see what impact the companys operations have on its concerned residenual neighbors.
