Gary Corbin, who has been a dispatcher at the Sheriffs office, will replace Leon Winter who has resigned from the position. The job is part-tim- e and Corbin is expected to continue his duties as a road deputy and dispatcher for the Sheriffs department. He is a graduate of Police Officers Standard Training and has been employed by the Sheriff s department for several years. "His name was suggested by the Sheriff (Dave Carter) and we concurred," said Gordon Young, county commission chair. "Gary Corbin was appointed by the Sheriff with our approval." Leon Winter resigned in December with his resignation effective immediately. Winter had been the Juab County Civil Defense Director for a number of years and was instrumental in helping Juab County during the flood years in the early 1980s. Winter kept excellent records of the flood damage and made applications to the federal ernment for the county which helped the county receive the restoration money needed.

(NASDAQ:CTMC), a Salt Lake City-base- d corporation, Thursday announced that its drilling program in and around the OK Mine near Milford, Utah (180 miles southwest of Salt Lake City), has encountered major intercepts of ore grade oxide copper bearing material. A total of 24 reverse circulation holes have been drilled since Nov. 20, 1994, totalling 9,460 feet. Copper mineralization was encountered in each of the 24 drill holes. The first order of business at the first Eureka City Council meeting of the New Year, was the seating of a new city council member who was appointed to fill the vacancy left by the recent death of Councilman Edward Webber. Mayor David Kay administered the Oath of Office to Lloyd Conder, councilman; and to Darby Sharp, Annimal Control Officer. Animal Control Officer, Darby Sharp, stated that he has been trying to work with the residents animals concerning at unlicensed running large, dogs, etc., but felt that there were some discrepancies concerning when dog licenses arc due.. which is January 1st.. and when the city normally has a dog clinic in May at which time citizens may obtain rabies shots for their animals and a city dog license at the same time. Most citizens wait until the clinic to license their dogs. Sharp suggested having the dog clinic sooner in order to make his records compatible. He was given the to contact Ncbo Animal Clinic to set up an earlier clinic. Councilman Conder asked some questions about the many dogs running at large and the problems being caused as a result. Sharp staled that he would look into the problems and talk to the owners of the animals. City Manager, Fred Garbctt In September, the reported: results of a routine water sample came back unsatisfactory. It was determined that the sample had go-ahe- ad been contaminated before it was sent. The Division of Water Quality was contacted and they informed the City that they would have to pull 5 additional samples in October to check the water quality. The samples were taken and all came back satisfactory. Dave Hansen, with the Division of Water Quality was then contacted to sec if the City needed to follow up with any further samples, and was assured that nothing further was needed and that they could continue with the monthly sample if those samples came back satisfactory. Fred stated that they then received a letter from the Division of Water Quality staling that the City was in violation of the rules and regulations of the Slate Drinking Water Act set forth by the State, because they failed to take 5 additional samples in November. The letter also stated that the City must inform all water users by sending out a notice of the violation and also publish the notice in a newspaper of general circulation. This violation was not an issue of Eurekas water being contaminated, or that the City is having problems with the water system, but a violation of the rules due to misinformation from the Division of Water Quality. ' Under BusiUnfinished ness.. Mayor Kay told the Council that the City now has the keys to the Courthouse from the County. He said that there arc no immediate plans for any manor remodeling at this time. The paperwork for the transfer has not been finalized, and Mayor Kay said he would follow up on this to make sure it gets finished. It was also noted that a load of coal has been delivered at the building. Fred Garbctt, City Manager, told the Council that he would appreciate their input on ideas for renovating the building and said he would call on pricing for a culvert so a parking lot can be put in on the South side of the building. New Business: Tammy Pehrson was present to apply for an business license to cut and perm hair, etc. Mayor Kay reminded her of the decision of the Council at the previous meeting not to issue any new business licenses prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission putting together a proposal for the Council. He told Mrs. Pch-rso- n that she will be put on the agenda for the February meeting, and a decision will be made at that time. An application for membership in the Eureka Volunteer Fire Department from Darby Sharp was accepted. The application will now go before the members of the Fire Department for the final decision. Annie Adams, owner of the Silver Club, was present to get the Council's approval to renew her Beer License and General Privilege License. Council members approved the renewal of the licenses.
