Show T Pago 2. July 17. 1985 , Basin Standard dUintah Drop arguments, stand behind consolidated dispatch center Duchesne County has been hearing some heated arguments the past couple of weeks concerning the consolidation dispatch system. The system has been approved by the Duchesne County Commissioners and will be implemented August 15. The advantages and disadvantages ' are numerous for the move to Vernal, but the arguments should be put to rest and that energy should now be directed at making the dispatch system work. One major advantage coining from the consolidation is just tha- t- consolidating. The' Uintah and Duchesne Counties have for too Iona not been united. The result of this attitude has for too long been the norm and it is refreshing to see a change. Maybe with this new found unity the law enforcement departments are advocating, the jdea will carry over the other' enities in the area, thus making the Uintah Basin a lot stronger. Although the unity over the dispatch system is important for the entire Basin, the decision makers within the dispatch system framework (management and governing boards) should not hesitate to pull the plug if found out the system is not advantageous. Although the decision makers should have constant data oh how the system is working, they should not be premature in scraping the whole idea if something minor arises. The inital capital expenditure should at least warrant that concern. hey should let the concept develop itself fully. Probably the biggest complaint that will be voiced about the consolidating is ' the lack of personal touch. This is going, to be solely on ,the shoulders of the dispatchers and they can be guaranteed they will feel the pressure. If the dispat- chers are trained effeciently, and the of- - i ficers know the area in which they will be assigned tor the pressure1 will I -- with drug problems Ask most people where they can get help with drags and alcohol and odds are theyll say, Well, doesnt the State have a program?

It showed how efficiency would increase. A tentative schedule was attached to explain how the applications would be made, and the timing of such applications. It proposed in increase of adultiride applications from 4,608 acres in 1984 to 60,688 acres in the first contract year.
