"I'd like to see lots of commercial development, but located where it will have minimal impact on the 'old town' parts of Farmington and minimal impact on residents," he said.

• John G. Montgomery, 44, once served on the Farmington Planning Commission. He received a finance degree from the University of Utah and works in commercial real estate finance. He says he has the experience to make sure the city "does development right."

"We've got real critical, large, complex projects going on," he said.

• Arthur Kirk Parmley, 62, has lived in Farmington the past two years. He is retired but used to work in electrical construction. He was active in labor unions.

Parmley says Farmington needs to grow correctly. He wants to expand Lagoon and develop a larger tax base.

"The 'do nothing' party has prevailed and dwelled and here we are," he said. "I'm not a member of the 'do nothing' party."
