3 seek mayoral post in Kaysville
Here, there is a careful juxtaposition of the old and new: The old city library. The old theater. New shops and retail. Burgeoning traffic.
Growth is becoming more of a challenge in Kaysville, located at the northern end of Davis County. While the city's current mayor, Brian D. Cook, says he can continue to provide for the needs of residents, two long-time residents are challenging him for his job.
On Oct. 4, the three candidates for Kaysville mayor will face off in a primary election. Residents can vote that day for the candidate they wish to compete during the Nov. 8 general election. Only two will advance to the general election.
Over the past week, each candidate was asked to provide a brief biography to the Deseret Morning News. A summary of their responses is featured below.
"Continuing to provide a safe, responsive community environment as we face the challenges of growth is the major issue facing Kaysville," Cook said.
"I have a deep love for this community and a desire to serve. If re-elected, I plan on continuing to work to keep this community the safe haven that has allowed us to raise our children and live our lives the way we have come to enjoy."
The most pressing issue facing Kaysville is a need to develop a "definite master plan," according to Hill. The city has been in a "static" position and a plan needs to be in place to move forward, he said.
"Our city needs to determine where it wants to go, how it wants to get there, how it will pay for its selected path and then work the plan and not continue to foray into side issues that sidetrack its process," Hill said.
"Too often, too little planning has resulted in lost reaction time, missed opportunities, potential lost revenues, additional costs for the city and citizen confusion."
