That problem was relieved after local sheriffs deputies agreed to walk neighborhoods with the petitions. However, some confusion with residents resulted when deputies mistakenly explained that the petitions were for annexation into West incorporation boundaries once the feasibility study is requested by Magna. In that case, revenue and tax base collected by Kennecott would not be included as Magna tax base. In order for the county to conduct a feasibility study, a petition that must be signed by 10 percent Valley. That is what we are trying to prevent, Peterson said. The petitions are only to request a feasibility study to see if Magna has the tax base to incorporate into a city. If the feasibility study is positive, the councils will begin a new petition drive to request an incorporation election. Everyone I have talked to is wondering why we are dragging our feet on this, Henline said. They want to be incorporated. But we dont know if we can effort to be incorporated, that is what the of Magna landowners that equals 70 percent of the land within the Magna boundaries.

We way we can, an are ad hoc just committee.What we need is some kind of political backing to make us authentic. The Area Council is looking at becoming a full sponsor of the event, which would help to lower insurance costs as well as give political clout to the festival.
