MINUTES OF THE SAN JUAN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEETING HELD
APRIL 5, 1982
Time: 10:00 a.m. in the Commissioner's Room at the Monticello Courthouse.
Members Present: Chairman Calvin Black, Commissioner Kenneth R. Bailey, and Commissioner Robert Low.
Minutes of the previous week were read and approved with the stipulated corrections upon the motion of of Commissioner Low and the second of Commissioner Bailey and it carried unanimously.
CITY OF MONTICELLO MEETS REGARDING ROAD,GOLF COURSE AND AIRPORT;
Monticello City Manager, Rick Terry; Councilmen Jack Young and Ron Sharp; Darroll Young, Larry Sorrell, and Paul Dean Black met with the Commission at 10:00 a.m. to discuss the Cooperative Road Agreement, the San Juan Airport, and Golf Course.
It was clarified by Commissioner Bailey that under the new Cooperative Road Service Agreement the cost to the city for construction services shall be 30% of the actual cost of labor, material and equipment rental
The problem of low utilization of the San Juan County Airport at Monticello was discussed. The Commission felt that utilization could be improved if the City of Monticello could manage the airport, and requested that the city council consider taking over the management responsibility of the airport, while the County would continue to provide the necessary funding. The City Council said that they would consider the County's proposal.
Erosion along the creek bank at the San Juan Golf Course was discussed. Commissioner Bailey reported that the County Engineer, Doug Pehrson, has estimated it would cost between $25,000 and $30,000 to control the erosion on fairways #2 and #3 with a 6' culvert and modifications in the landscape to provide for any over-flow. Darroll Young felt that a smaller, but longer culvert with inlet and outlet aprons and trash guards would be adequate and save the County the expense of the 6' culvert. The Commission requested that Mr. Young prepare a written report and diagram of his recommendations for the golf course. Darroll Young returned later in the afternoon to present his report. It was his recommendation, at that time, to control the erosion by placing a 175' long, 5' culvert and a 175' long, 4' culvert side by side in the creek bed at fairways #2 and #3, and by placing two 75' long, 4' culverts (all with aprons and trash guards), in the creek bed at fairway #8. Darroll Young also recommended that one additional section and trash guard be added to the 6' culvert at the shed crossing. The Commission approved Darroll Young's recommendations, as presented, and authorized Commissioner Bailey to work with the Road Department, the Golf Course manage-ment and Mr. Young to get the necessary work done as soon as possible.
BEER LICENSE APPLICATION FOR FRY CANYON STORE;
Mr. Steve Bronson, doing business at Fry Canyon Store, made an application for a Beer License. The Comm-ission reviewed Mr. Bronson's application and stated that no decision could be made until the necessary recommendation of the County Sheriff had been obtained.
BLUFF TO MONTEZUMA CREEK ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY:
Because the building of the Bluff to Montezuma Creek road is of high priority to the County, Commissioner Bailey moved to authorize Doug Pehrson to apply immediately to the B.L.M. for the necessary right-of-way. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Low with those voting for the motion: Calvin Black, Robert Low, and Kenneth Bailey. Those voting against the motion: None.

Mr. Kenneth R. Bailey
San Juan County Commission
Monticello, Utah 84535
Dear Commissioner Bailey:
The Board of Indian Affairs, at its monthly meeting on March 4th, approved your request for $750,000 for the proposed road from Bluff to Montezuma Creek. The funds will be included in our FY 1983 budget. The funds will be available anytime after July 1st; but, as I in-dicated to you at the meeting, we would appreciate it if you would use these funds at the end of the project so that interest revenue will not be lost.
We are happy to participate in this important project with you.
Sincerely,
/s/ Bruce G. Parry
Director

MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM STATUS DISCUSSED:
Mr. Jim Whear, director of Four-Corners Mental Health, Mr. Rick Mainord of San Juan Community Social Services, and Mr. Frank Rose, psychologist for Mental Health, met with the Commission to discuss the Mental Health Program.
Regarding action taken to obtain a portion of the funding for San Juan Community Social Services-Mental Health Unit directly from the State Department of Social Services, Mr. Whear stated that he felt the Mental Health program should be an independent organization responsible to the Commission and not be part of a General Health or Social Service program.
Mr. Mainord stated that he believed the mental health program could work under Social Services, but there would be a lot lost in combining the two.
Mr. Rose was concerned that he might become professionally isolated if peer interaction was not available. He was assured by the Commission that, although the County's remoteness necessitates some seperateness, there is no reason he cannot continue anything that is benificial and needed with Four-Corners Mental Health. Perhaps this would be done on a contract basis.
414
In response to Mr. Whear's concerns, Chairman Black stated that the County's Mental Health Unit has been part of San Juan Community Social Services for the past three years and nothing is changed except that a portion o'f the program funds which was previously contracted for through Four-Corners Mental Health will now come directly from the State.
