Ayes have it for fee increase
Centerville garbage rate rehashed
By MARK EDDINGTON
Staff Writer
CENTERVILLE—As predicted, a motion to hike garbage collection fees was approved at a special City Council meeting Tuesday. The action will mean a 12 percent fee increase in the amount paid by the average homeowner with one trash container.

The move came one week after the same motion was defeated when Councilman Mike Barton opposed the increase. With councilmen Steve Mangel and Ken Brown
absent, council members Francine Giani and Kent Lindsey's votes for the motion June 15 proved to be one
shy of the three votes needed to pass the fee increase.
The vote left city officials in somewhat of a quandary. The increase was needed to offset a $9 per ton hike in the tipping fee charged by the Davis County burn plant. Without a raise in the city's collection rate, city officials would have to make up for the budgetary shortfall by subsidizing garbage collection out of the city fund. There is some cash reserve in the city's garbage fund, but not enough to cover costs.
Barton had gone on record opposing the increase, saying the burn plant had been a "fiasco" from the start. Nevertheless, he conceded his opposition was a protest vote and predicted the council would eventually approve a hike in garbage collection fees.
"It's going to pass," he said. "We all know that, but I will
continue to oppose it." His prediction approved to be
correct. At Tuesday's meeting, the council easily overrode Barton's opposition. The garbage fee increase was approved by a four to one vote.

Violence victims find no place to hide in county
By MARK EDDINGTON Staff Writer
FARMINGTON—Enlisting volunteers is little problem for the Davis Citizens Coalition Against Violence, but getting cities to sign on with cash donations to fund a
program to help the victims of domestic violence has proven much more difficult.
The coalition, which has about 30 members, is trying to obtain funds for a full-time coordinator to help battered women and children and the victims of sexual abuse in Davis County. But some Davis cities are balking at using public money to finance what they say is essentially a
private organization.
As the county's population grows, so does the problem with domestic violence. Unfortunately, it is a problem that victims must often take elsewhere to get help and relief.
There is currently no safe haven for the victims of abuse, who must travel to shelters in Salt Lake City or
Ogden to get away from the abuser.
Faye Purdy, a retired teacher and coalition spokesperson, says the results are tragic.
"As a schoolteacher I could see pain in children and needs that were not being met," she said. "I've also had acquaintances I knew who were the victims of violence, and they kept falling back into the same situation because there wasn't any way out for them. There was no help or counseling."
Coalition members want to change all that by raising enough cash to hire a coordinator, who would coordinate relief efforts for victims and train an army of
volunteers to act as advocates for the victims of violence. Victims referred to advocates by police would receive emotional support and help in wide array of services, including transportation to safe houses, obtaining treatment, helping with children and assistance in filling out court documents.
The Family Support Center in Clearfield has agreed to provide a small room to house a domestic violence coordinator and a phone.
