Although state funding of the. county health department is becoming more equitable there is more that can be done, the acting director said Tuesday. 1 DAVIS COUNTYS generfrom the al health contract state department of health totals $49,515 while that for the Weber-Morga- n Health De- partment is $1 18,779. That difference of more than two times needs to be looked at in the future," said Acting Health Diretor Richard Harvey. We need to perhaps look down the road to taking legal he action against the state, said, to make the funding more equitable. Population-wise- , for instance, the Weber-Morga- n district would contain only about 4,000 more residents to Davis 144,000. THE FUNDING difference exists because Davis County Health Department is not part of a district, such as Weber-Morga- Mr. Harvey n, ex- plained. The state in the past ten years has been very involved in districting. It has been very advantageous, espediscially for some of the small tricts (such as in southern Utah). "With Davis County now the third largest (county by population) we are bigger than most districts, he said, adding that other factors beleft sides "our own choice Davis out of district status. "THE INCENTIVE to form districts was to give them more funds, a higher amount than to local health departments (such as Davis). So were still funded at a lower level. In my view, theres no reason why were not funded like a district. Were doing the same job, he said. In a telephone interview, State Health Department Fi nance Manger Gene Graham futher explained the funding process. DISTRICTS and departments are funded differently, he said. About ten years ago the legislature made a substantial amount of money available MAYOR REX Bouchard said last week that part of the problem lies with the Weber Basin Water District, who according to him, raise their water prices every year. The Mayor claims the city now owns about 200 acre feet of the basins water, though, and should says the community be in good shape for quite a few years. He blames the July 1st increase on new operating costs within the citys own system and says a maintenance provision is needed to keep the system in working order. A MINIMUM water bill of $14 will be assessed to all local residents, allowing each 20,000 gallons per month. Any extra water used will be billed at the rate of 35 cents per thousand gallons over the minimum usage allotment for two months. MAYOR BOUCHARD said the Weber Basin people are working on a plan for a secondary water supply system and a pressure irrigation program to cut down on the massive use of culinary water in the area. He also mentioned that the district is not selling anymore water due to an extreme shortage. THE NEW billing charges began July and according to the mayor, residents will receive calculations of both the minimum cost of $14 and the figures for any extra water 1 used. This will make the average monthly cost for water and garbage in the area approximately $20, the garbage cost having stayed the same at six dollars.

This would include the' MX project, according to him.

SENIOR Coalition members and representatives from each of the District 8 counties, Weber, Morgan, Davis, are ex for a fluoridation education grant and while the Davis County Health Board took no formal action for or again it, Tuesday, response was favorable to need for a fluoridation program. INITIALLY, the stale Health Department Dental Di- vision grant would provide $61,000 statewide for education, Acting Health Director . Richard E. Harvey said. Addi- tional funding is following years would up the amount to $120,000 and $300,000, allowing program expansion to include purchase of equipment. Mayors will be asked to act on the grant proposal in a future Council of Governments meeting but those attending the regualr monthly helath board meeting Tuesday morn- ing in Farmington spoke favorable for fluoridation activities. Bfts pected to attend , as well as any senior citizens who are dents) can do it once a week. She said it would cost 70 cents a year per child, for instance, and that amount would be charged only to students participating. BUT BOARD Chairman Dr. Danel Benton said the "biggest problem in implementing that program previously came from the Davis Education Association. They felt it as an imposition on their (teachers) time. And immediate past DEA President Mary Ellen Leatham said it still would be in a telephone interview. Were in favor, as a general rule, of fluoridation. But the teachers association would still take the same stand. We dont feel its the job of the schools. take quite a little while (to administer).

AN ISSUES discussion will follow the election. Discussion topics will include such timely concerns as the sales tax on food and the MX missile. SPEAKING highly in favor of a general fluoidation prog- ram was County Commissioner Ernest Eberhard, a member of the health board. "Its something proven. Anything we can do to gel lo public consciousness (would be good). He said when he served as mayor of Preston, Ida., that city was one of three in that state with fluoride program and a 64 percent decrease in dental problems was reported. MR. HARVEY said any gen- eral fluoridation program approval would require an election as set by state law. "Davis County would as a whole be difficult to fluoridate because of so many different water systems and sources, (wells, conservancy districts. etc.), but some cities could do H. Wcd have to look at each one (water source)." As part of an inspection of all public water supplies planned for this year, the health department may look at mechanical possibilities for such a system, he said. "PEOPLE COMING in from out of Utah can't under- stand why we don't have fluoridation. Utah has the lowest per capita fluoridation (nationwide),' Mr. Harvey said, noting only Brigham City, Hill AFB and an Indian reservation are so equipped. Extended Phone Service Goes Into Effect In Davis By GARY R. BLODGETT - County ings throughout the state. FARMINGTON The d extended telephone service to Davis County subscribers has finally arrived. AND ALONG with the changes and improvements, BEGINNING last Sunday, the extended-are- a service number that went into effect Sunday. The 867 prefixes will be changed to 451, said Mr. Hill. featuring a new electonic was imswitching system plemented by Mountain Bell Telephone Co. At the same time, a general rate hike for the extended service went into effect on Sunday, according to Ken Hill, public relations director for Mountain Bell. THE CHANGES that took place included extension of local service between Farmington and Murray, including parts of Salt Lake City, said Mr. Hill Previously, it was a long distance (toll call) from Farmington to any portion of Salt Lake City. A second phase of the extension project which will enable countywide calling in Davis County will not be implemented for about 18 months, in January 1982, Mr. Hill explained. BOTH EXTENDED service orders were made by the Utah Public Service Commission in June 1979. Meanwhile, the PSC recently approved a 7.9 percent general rate increase for all Mountain Bell customers of Utah. This authorization was made by the PSC last month and will appear soon on telephone bili- - customers telephoning residents of Farmington must remember to dial a new prefix He also noted that the new system will allow Farmington customers to have improved customer-callin- g features, in- cluding callforwarding, speed calling, call waiting and three-wa- y calling, previously not available. MR. HILL said information sent as an insert to all bills of customers of the Davis County area will further explain the changes and new rate charges. Bountiful, Farmington, Murray and the parts of Salt Lake City involved in the extended telepone service will be charged a higher rate, based on the number of additional exchanges that can be called in addition to the overall general rate hike which affects all Utah customers of Mountain Bell service. toll-fre- e, ALSO, Bountiful customers will pay a higher (regular) fee than before although they will not be able to call any additional exchanges, Mr. Hill explained, but its basic rate was approved by the PSC for an increase because of additional services it has received in re- cent years. |
