SURPLUS PROPERTY TO BE SOLD ON BID

Roads Clerk, Lynn Adams, requested permission to buy the old pickup truck that was obtained through

Civil Defense, and which he has been currently driving.

The Commissioners informed Clerk Adams that any property the County sells must first be advertised

and sold to the highest bidder.

Various items of surplus equipment were mentioned, and the Commissioners instructed the Clerk to make

a listing of the items to be disposed of, They particularly mentioned the Wing to the old Patrol, which

might be of interest to San Pete County.

HOSPITAL REQUESTS LOAN FOR REMAINDER OF YEAR'S EXPENSES

Arlow Freestone, Hospital Administrator, met with the Commission and informed them that because the Hill-Burton funds have not been received, it will necessitate the Hospital borrowing $20,000. from the County to provide funds to enable the Hospital to operate the remainder of 1969. This action may require opening the budget to obtain the needed funds.

CLOSED ROAD ON PETERS POINT DISCUSSED

Larry Bailey and Kedric Somerville met with the Commission to discuss the problems created by the public using the road which travels through their property. They stated that they had tolerated all the van-dalism they will put up with. They also reviewed the findings of the Field Trip taken with Mr. Hoster- man and Roy Verner and the existing Loop Road which enables travelers to reach the desired area without traveling through their privately-owned land. Larry and Ked then made formal request that the Commis-sioners would consider dropping the charges and cooperate in an attempt to influence other agencies involved, to push the travel back on the Loop Road.

Commissioner Black then introduced the motion that the County Attorney be instructed to request dismissal of the Law Suit on the conditions that the Defendants leave the road open to the public and the County Commissioners will work with the agencies involved to overcome the problem, and the Defendants notify the Commission before barracading the road again.

Commissioner Young seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.

The Commissioners had previously stated that they had no objections if the agencies invloved, would repair the Loop Road, which is severely water-barred, and push the traffic onto this road, then the County would maintain the "B" road to the Forest boundary, and the old road thru' private property could be closed off.

COUNTY INSURANCE DISCUSSED

Eddie Boyle and Mr. Lundberg met with the Commission to discuss the Insurance for County-owned property. Vehicle, Fire, and General Liability were discussed and the need for a current appraisal was emphasized. Commissioner Black then made the motion that Commissioner Young take the assignment of getting our inven-tory and statement of values for insurance up-to-date, and authorize him to make contacts and expenditures as required, and have it completed by November 1, 1969. Commissioner Hazleton seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.

CEMETERY IMPROVEMENTS REQUESTED

Alden Stevens, of La Sal, requested assistance from the County for improvements at the Cemetery at La Sal.

The cemetery in question, is an area 50 feet by 160 feet in section 3, Twp. 29 S, R 24 E., and was deeded

to San Juan County by Redd Ranches in 1965.

cemetery at Verdure to the County.
