The county assessor's office can no longer accept just the safety inspection inspec-tion number on the application. According to Summit County Assessor Ron Perry, every motor vehicle renewal of license platetitle application must be accompanied with a certificate of safety inspection inspec-tion dated no more than two months prior to the vehicle's renewal or application. ap-plication. For example, Perry said, "regardless of when a person applies ap-plies for a renewal during January 1989, the accompanying safety inspection in-spection must be dated no earlier than Nov. 1, 1988. However, should the person wait until February to complete their January renewal, the safety certificate must not be dated prior to Dec. 1, 1988." On other issues concerning vehicle renewals, owners must have on the application current insurance information infor-mation and the odometer reading. No emissions control inspections are required in Summit County. Office hours for vehicle renewals (including platetitle applications) in Park City are 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays only.

The office hours in the assessor's office in Coalville for renewals are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday Mon-day through Friday, and for platetitle plateti-tle applications, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. DWR hopes to develop areas for winter wildlife habitat Make fire a priority safety by the PARK CITY FIRE SERVICE DISTRICT v.- by SENA TAYLOR Record staff writer The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is eyeing two areas of Summit County for wildlife development develop-ment use, primarily as winter range habitats for deer and elk. DWR official Ralph Miles told Summit County Commissioners Dec. 28 that one area is 1,800 acres of private land located in foothill country coun-try between Kamas and Francis in the southern section of the county. DWR is now negotiating with the land owner for its purchase, which can be made only if the owner is willing will-ing to sell the land for its appraised value. He said it's possible that only 1,000 acres will be purchased. Phase I of dam done The Wasatch Wave reports phase one of the Jordanelle Dam has been completed. Torno America, the firm which has been doing the phase I construction con-struction work on the giant dam 6 miles north of Heber, is finishing a few details and removing its equipment from the construction site. Phase I included stripping, excavating, ex-cavating, cleaning and filling the dam abutments which lie on either side of Highway 40. Materials that will be used for construction were stockpiled, processed and sorted. The second and final phase of the project, which is estimated to take three years to complete, will begin in the late spring of 1989, shortly after the contract is awarded. Progress on three new roads which are being built as a result of the dam has stopped for the winter. U.S. 40, which is being rerouted from the dam site to its junction with S.R. 248 out of Park City, is scheduled for partial completion in the summer of 1989. Traffic will be rerouted onto the new Highway 40 next fall. Both Route A, a new road from Heber to Kamas, and route C, a re-aligned highway from U.S. 40 to Francis which replaces a section sec-tion of the existing S.R. 189, are also scheduled for completion in the fall. New commissioners to take oaths Jan. 9 in Coalville The Summit County Board of Commissioners will meet in special session Jan. 9 at 11 a.m. in the commission chambers of the Summit County Courthouse Cour-thouse in Coalville. The purpose of the meeting is to execute the oath of office for two new commissioners, com-missioners, Sheldon Richins of Henefer and Frank Richards of Park City. Looking for a, New Year's resolution resolu-tion that can benefit you and your family? Something that will be easy to accomplish and have great rewards? The Park City Fire Service District suggests putting the improvement im-provement of your home fire safety on the top of your list of New Year's resolutions. More than 5,000 people will die in home fires next year. Most will die because they aren't prepared for a fire. They didn't plan ahead and practice how to escape safely. Many of these house fires and fatalities can be avoided entirely if people know and practice good fire prevention techniques. The fire district recommends you include the following tips in your plans for a fire safe home : Make and practice a home fire escape plan with the entire family. Have fire drills in the home. Identify alternate escape routes. Install' and maintain smoke detectors in your home (a battery-operated battery-operated one on each level of your home). Check your home for fire hazards. A checklist can be obtained from the fire department by calling 649-6706. Learn how to operate portable fire extinguishers in your home. The Park City Fire Service District has information on the' above suggestions. For further information, in-formation, call 649706.

Miles said DWR hopes to acquire two parcels adjacent to that tract in an effort to reduce human uses of the area such as traffic and possible cabin construction. He pointed out that winter ranges are only effective if they are stress-free areas for the animals, and snowmobiles and other uses disrupt an ideal wildlife habitat. "If we were able to purchase pur-chase this land it would eliminate problems caused by the inholdings," he said. Miles said that if DWR acquires the additional land near Echo, the wildlife development area would be expanded from its present size of about 4,000 acres to 5,200 acres. He noted that five different individuals own the land, making it difficult to finalize a purchase. But he said it's possible a deal could be formalized "any day." Miles also said DWR would like to purchase easements to and along several fishing streams in the county coun-ty to open up more public fishing areas. "I think we're about 20 years behind the times as far as fishing access," ac-cess," he said. "We'll be coming back to talk to you about getting some easements all along the way from Holiday Park to Ogden on the Weber River," he said, adding that DWR is also interested in access to the Provo River, East Canyon Creek and even McLoed Creek near Park City. Miles indicated those discussions would likely begin next summer. He said DWR prioritizes areas throughout the state to be used for wildlife development. "In Summit County, however, there is so much public land already that we don't look at a lot more areas to purchase in the future, although it is prime for wildlife production," said Miles. Commissioner Ron Robinson, speaking during the last meeting of his term, said he was concerned about weed control policies between the county and the division if DWP acquires more land. "We've had trouble getting the division to spray dyer's road," said Robinson, referring to an especially noxious weed that crowds out surrounding sur-rounding vegetation. Commission chairman Jim Soter also said the weed is quickly becoming a problem in the county and is feared because it is difficult to eradicate. Miles replied that there was no difference dif-ference in policy pertaining to weed control between the county and DWR. "I think our objectives are the same," he said. "We're very concerned con-cerned about noxious weeds... and we'll have to see how to cooperate better in the future." Commissioner Robinson also expressed ex-pressed concern over the division paying the appraised value of the land. But Miles explained that "All of the money DWR uses is sportsman-generated," such as from the purchase of sporting goods and ammunition. He said the division divi-sion feels a responsibility "to be fair to sportsmen" when making pur: chases used from the proceeds of sportsmen.
