Wright said the Juab School District was one of the few where the lunch program was and was operated in the self-sustaini- ng these changes to sick leave and personal leave will simplify our policies and make them easier to understand and administrate. The changes came as a result of the negotiation committee meetings. Juab School District should plan to ask voters to approve a bond issue for construction of a high school. If you feel good about bonding and the need for a new school, you will go with the general election in November, said Karen Davis, representing Dougherty Dawkins, financial advisors for the program. Special elections are not as effective as general elections, she said. The most important issue of the schedule she submitted to the board was the information timetable, she said. The most important thing is a plan for getting the information out to the black. The increase, said Wright, would help the lunch program continue to operate in the black. Some programs in other districts have run completely in the hole, said Wright. While the Juab School District lunch program is currently in the black, it is operating on a closer and closer margin, he said. We have not raised school lunch prices in three years said Menlove. She said the program would be against a wall if the increase were not adopted and a raise in the lunch prices would reflect the increase in costs of operating the program. Food and operating prices continue to increase, she said. The district will now need to take the cost ofthe computer program and increase wages from current funds. Juab School District Board members agreed to two changes made in the sick leave and personal business leave policies. This was the second time the toll-freboard had reviewed the plan, so Wednesday, A 'gust 30, 1995 Nephi, Utah s public in a timely manner, she said. Citizens needed the information in order to make up their minds as to the importance of the problem. You as a board can send out information so people can make up their minds, but you cannot legally ask people to vote for the bond issue, said Davis. However, she said, committees could ask the citizens to vote for the bond as long as they did not use any of the financial resources of the district. A citizen committee should be formed. They can solicit funds and raise money. The committee Can take a stand as long as they raise the money they use to distribute information, she said. After school starts is a good time to get people involved, she said. The steering committee and the PTA organizations can assist in disseminating the information to the public. All of this schedule is tentative, and you, as board members, will have to make the determination of how you want to do things, said Davis.

Some of the large property tax payers protested the tax valuations to the Utah State Tax Commission some time ago. The Association of Counties was represented by Bill Peters in the appeal. We received word from Mr. Peters that the suit had been settled and that our share would be $50,302.29, said Gordon Young, county commission chair. It hasnt gone the way we thought it should, he said. The money, Peters informed the commission in a message, should be paid to Intermountain Power Agency for the valuation.
