MEDICAL FACILITIES - HARDY REDD

Hardy Redd met with the Commissioners to let than know he supports the Comnission in the decision of selling the San Juan County medical facilities. Mr. Redd feels that a private industry can do a better job than a public industry, that there is more incentive to do an efficient job. Commissioner Bailey agreed and thanked Mr. Redd for his statement.

OMAN PROPERTY - PAUL MORTENSEN

Paul Mortensenf attorney, met with the Commissioners to discuss the problem Milton Oman, his client, has with his private land at Bug Point. The county improved a road by Mr. Oman's land and Mr. Oman says that the land is water bogged because the culvert is too high and has prevented him from farming it. Mr. Mort-ensen showed the Comnission a video of Mr. Oman's land, showing ponds of water around the culvert and the problems that have occurred with so much water. Commissioner Bailey said that there are two reservoirs that sit above the property and feels that this is part of the problem. Doug Pehrson, engineer, said that the culvert has been there at least 15 years and the county road has nothing to do with the booged problem, but agrees the culvert is too high. Mr. Mortensen said that Mr. Oman would like to settle this out of court and wants the county to: One, drop the culvert; Two, dig a ditch so that the water will run off: Three, take care of the thistle problem. Commissioner Bailey said that the county will agree to put a bigger culvert pipe, which will make it lower, but feels that the county should not do work on private land to dig a ditch or take care of the thistles. Mr. Mortensen will meet with Bruce Halliday, county attorney, to come up with a reasonable agreement.
