Newspapers in larger area those with larger staffs normally assign a reporter to cover such meetings to sit in throughout the entire day (or evening) to take notes on discussions, decisions, and happenings, and then to publish the information gained at the meeting so that all would know of the happenings. Frankly, we just havent had staff facilities nor time to do so. And, ds an alternative, in order to bring the iiews of the various meetings to the public,- - we have called the City Recorder, thev County Clerk, etc., etc., to find out decisions made, and to report them to the public. In some Instances and some most recently the City Recorder was on other business, and the County Clerk was not . available because of District Court. In these instances we have talked tp, No. V the Mayor; and No. 2, the Chairman of the County Commission to get the information., In addition, some weeks ago Evan FTampton talked to us concerning the on which he printing of a form could compile decisions, discussions, etc. of the City Council during or immediately following meetings of the grup, and distribute the copies to interested representatives of the local and state newspapers. As soon as details can be worked out, this will probably become a reality. Many years ago the Utah Press Association attempted to get a bill through the Utah Legislature which would require the publication of minutes of City Council meetings, etc. Some states have such laws. The bill was defeated in the legislature and to the best of our knowledge, it has never been Were I a public official, I would surely want such a law on the books. First, it would keep the public fully informed of what was going on in the respective official bodies. It would bring before the public a full and complete explanation of why this or that was being done, who received the bid on this or that job, and those items which were still being considered for future action or decisions. It would, to a degree, show the public which official was doing the job he was elected for, and which official was merely occupying a chair in the meeting room. The meetings of the official bodies are open to the public, and the minutes of the meetings are also open to the public. That situation is guaranteed in the constitution, BUT the publics right to know is an important thing, too. But should the public be forced to go to the office of the body and make a study to determine what is going on? We firmly endorse the resolution of the Republican city convention, BUT we go one step further, we firmly believe that the official body has a responsibility to inform, and that this responsibility to inform should be paramount. We suggest to our local legislative members that such legislation be considered and enacted when the official bodies of ( State again sit on capitol hill.
