Legislators from Oklahoma, Wyoming and Idaho supported the resolution in principal, but noted that the resolution written by Duchesne County Attorney Dennis Draney UP&L trains residents in economic development The weakness and strength and what can be done about each was the platform of discussion during the wrap up session of four two-hour seminars on economic development. The purpose of the seminars, sponsored spon-sored by Utah Power 4 Light Company, Com-pany, was to provide nonprofessional non-professional leaders an understanding understan-ding of the economic development process and to assist volunteer groups in the development of initial strategies for local community action. ac-tion. Those that were given certificates for graduating from the seminar will be a support group of the Gro-Uintah Economic Development Board for Uintah County. Cro Uintah has been operating for over a year and will set-k endorsement of the Uintah County Commissioner next week. The first two sessions of the seminar covered an overview of economic dcvt'lopment and identified target development possibilities. The third session introduced a process for economic development and the fmal session was lo develop a plan of action. ac-tion. During the final session, the group Inside Voting SrP page . would not fit the situation in each state. "It served our purpose very well, but it did not deal with situations in other states where arrangements have already been made with Indian tribes." The resolution was turned over to the National Conference staff to be rewritten and presented to the conference con-ference at its next meeting in October. Oc-tober. The resolution opposes giving to Indian In-dian tribal government civil authority authori-ty over non-Indians, including power to levy taxes, now reserved to state and local government.

Pros were recreation opportunities, oppor-tunities, utilities availability, semiskilled semi-skilled workforce, moderate tax base, natural resources, center of future energy resource, good vocational training, good, limited aviation service ser-vice and good housing. On the negative side, the group identified cold winters, transportation, transporta-tion, high rental cost, no highly skilled skill-ed labor force, labor not trained locally, limited higher education, poor Image, internal and external apathy, lack of unity, direction and purpose and lack of capital or financing financ-ing as dcterants to economic development. develop-ment. "The group was told to capitalize on the things they can do somelhtng about," said Bob Thompson, Utah Power and Light. "More than anything it gave people an awareness of what the area has to information qanish Indian Tribe, it was ruled that Indian tribes had no criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians, but left unresolved the question of civil jurisdiction over non-Indians. '"Be it resolved that the National Conference of State Legislatures is firmly opposed to any law which would subject citizens of the United States to any government which they have not right to elect," states the resolution. If the resolution passes the National Na-tional Committee, it will be entered into Congress through the StateFederal Assembly, which carries car-ries the clout of 50 states, Sen. Sowards said. The resolution opposes any law the offer, we don't have everything, but we do have something." The feedback from the group was that there is a need for increased communicationcorrelation between organizations "doing" economic development. There is also a need of long-term goals and plans, more government involvement, increased community awareness and evaluation evalua-tion of how well we are doing what we're doing. The big thing that came from the seminar that everyone was concerned concern-ed about is the people are mentally down, "we need lo build ourselves up in that area." "People will bring business to the area because they like the area, not because of some gimmick," Thompson Thomp-son said.

He does elect the government, but yet has to yield to the laws governing that property. pro-perty. If resolution becomes a bill before Congress it will likely be reviewed by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is also determining whether to hear a 10th Circuit Court of Appeal ruling that gave . the Ute Tribe jurisdiction over land outside Trust Lands and inside the original reservation reser-vation boundaries.

The company began development of its global-entry data base record system now called CRIS with the Vernal City Police Department. Now the software is being used in 16 Utah Police departments in Utah and two in California. Mark Stiegemeier, company president, presi-dent, now predicts that in the next 24 month, 200 police agencies will be using us-ing the system. Steigemeier owes the success of the product, which is used by the Vernal Ver-nal City Police Department, to the willingness of the department to implement im-plement the new system. City slices two areas from district Public input was for creation of a special improvement district for curb, gutter and sidewalk, but the Vernal City Council cut off two areas of the district because of Written protest. pro-test. The three areas originally included in the improvement district were 500 South from Vernal Avenue to 500 West, Robinwood Lane and the Pike-Countryside Pike-Countryside subdivisions. Protest to the formation of the improvement im-provement district were accepted by the city until July 25. In the Robin- wood Lane area there are 61 property owners and the city received 41 protests pro-tests representing 67 percent. State law requires that before a special improvement district can be formed, over 50 percent of the property pro-perty owners must favor it. In the Pike-Countryside area there are 76 property owners and 36 filed protests with the city representing 47 percent. On the 500 South oortion of the district, only three protests were filed. Because for the nature of the protests, pro-tests, City Manager Kenneth Bassett recommended to the council during Wednesday's hearing to only include Big game in rlfc. itrrf. nlrlnjH'. "It was because of the chief's foresight and because he saw it's potential that made the product what it is." The unique aspect of the CRIS (Crime Reporting and Information System) is global entry and retrievals of records that can occur at once with checks and balances of the system's security. The system allows the entry and retrievals of information by officers that make the original reports. The program has the endorsement of the Utah Council on Crime and Juvenile Justice. Steigemeier said that now other companies are scrambling to catch up to the CRIS system, but he doesn't think thev will ever catch up.

The majority of the protests to the formation of the special district were on a petition that was circulated through the neighborhoods. Most were not opposed to curb, gutter or sidewalks, but said they "just didn't have the money," Bassett said. Jerry Buckalew, who spearheaded the petitions against the district formation for-mation said "The economy is down more now than any other time and now is not the time for form the district. Councilman Robert Vincent, who lives in the Robinwood Lane area, said that there are some trade-offs to creating the project now and waiting. Construction costs are now down and so are bonding rates, he said. The majority of the persons at the hearing were supportive of the formation for-mation of the district and asked the council "What have we got to do to get it done?"
