COMMISSIONER CALVIN BLACK'S REPORT
Utah State Law - District Bonds - Comnissioner Black read a letter he received from Hanifen, Imhoff Inc., stating that Utah State Law currently does not allow for the refunding or refinancing of special assessment/improvement district bonds. Hanifen, Imhoff Inc., the Utah League of Cities & Towns, the Utah Association of Counties and the law firm of Jones, Waldo, Holbrook and McDonough are all working together to pass legislation that would allow special assessment district bonds to be refinanced at lower rates. The Commission asked Rick Bailey, Administrative Assistant, to fill out the survey they sent and write letters supporting this legislation to State Senator and Representative.
Wilderness Impact Research Foundation - Commissioner Black reported that he attended a meeting with respect to a Wilderness Impact Research Foundation. Those in attendance were from the Salt Lake area, Nevada, California, industry representatives, and Bill Howell from AOG. They discussed the issues of multiple use and wilderness impacts on those multiple use values. Commissioner Black said it is critically important that the county follow through with forming a resource group in order to be pro-active and on top of the latest issues concerning the county area.
San Juan Resource Management Plan & EIS State's Response - Commissioner Black reported that Representative Adams called him and Rep. Adams said he met with the Governor. The Governor has agreed to sign a new letter that will retract his earlier comment on the San Juan Resource Management Plan & EIS. Commissioner's Organization - Comnissioner Black reported he attended the meeting of the Commissioner's Organization. They discussed the organization and relationship with the UAC and ways to strengthen their relationship with elected officials. They also discussed the situation with respect to Jack Tanner's resignation.
Mined Land Reclamation - Comnissioner Black said they discussed the Mined Lands Reclamation Act and the amendment to eliminate the state duplicating federal regulations on mining and oil and gas on federal lands. There has been legislation prepared and it will be reviewed.
Southeastern Utah Health District Board - Commissioner Black told Commissioner Maryboy that someone from the Montezuma Creek area needs to be appointed to the Southeastern Utah Health District Board. Commissioner Maryboy said UNDC will make a recommendation to the health board.
Economic & Travel Development - Commissioner Black reported that the Economic and Travel Development Board met in Bluff last week.
Road Southeast of Blanding - Brown's Canyon - Commissioner Black informed Commissioner Bailey there have been several complaints on the road southeast of Blanding to Brown's Canyon. Commissioner Bailey said the plan is to widen the road but the problem is getting signatures from the property owners for right-of-ways south side of the road. The county has agreed to move the ditch if they would move the fences but a compromise needs to be made between the property owners on the north and south sides of the road. AOG - Comnissioner Black said he is planning to attend an AOG meeting this Friday in Price. Commissioner Black said they will be discussing the support of the Local Option Gas Tax and his recommendation is that we support it conditioned that the urban areas not try to change the present allocation formula. District Courts - Commissioner Black said he attended a meeting in Salt Lake to review the recommendations made by the Commission on the Administration of Justice of District Courts. Commissioner Black said after the meeting he talked to Senator Cornaby, Chairman, and recommended they make two changes to provide when the state takes over the system; one, that the state buy or rent all space provided by the counties; and two, the state buy all supplies and equipment. Also a contract with the clerk in rural areas where the position would not justify a full-time court clerk.
COMMISSIONER KEN BAILEY'S REPORT
Public Safety Building - Commissioner Bailey reported that he met with the architect and engineers on the Public Safety Building. The project architect is Mark S. Fetzer, the mechanical engineer is Erling Olsen, the structural engineer is Herb Rosendal, and the electrical engineer is Charles Whiddon. They have completed the schematic design phase and the design development phase of the contract.

They are now entering into the construction document phase and plan to have the project ready to bid by March 1.
Road Information - Commissioner Bailey said he has information of the roads on the reservation for Commissioner Maryboy. Commissioner Bailey said he would like to review with him the county's standing with the Tribe on the roads and other projects on the reservation.
Road in Blanding near School - Commissioner Bailey said the road at the high school in Blanding was discussed at the road meeting this morning. It was decided that two signs reading "no U-turn for one block" will be put at the block before the intersection and a double yellow line will be painted between the two intersections. The intersection will be left for U-turns. Doug Pehrson, surveyor, will recommend the correct signs for this. Commissioner Bailey said this should solve the problem.
