ANY CLASS CARD PURCHASED : Applies only to Nonmembers Cooper promises revisions j I A Al Cooper If Al Cooper is elected county commissioner, he will work "from my first day" to find an administrative administra-tive assistant for the commission; com-mission; will issue regular reports to the people; and will work with other rural counties to lobby for impact fees from energy development. develop-ment. In a wide-ranging "Newspaper" "News-paper" interview, the Summit Sum-mit Park resident discussed his goals, better ways for the commission to communicate with the people, and the diverse areas of Summit County. The county has to be streamlined, he said, and the commission should lead the way to suggest ideas. He favors an administrative assistant, who will attend commission meetings, receive re-ceive instruction, and make decisions based on commission commis-sion policy. Cooper said this would also lighten the load for clerk Reed Pace, who, he said, already has one of the most challenging county departments. de-partments. "One person can't be all these things," he said. Two other alternatives exist. A county manager could be appointed.. While it would be similar to an assistant, the manager con cept is unpopular in the county, he observed. "People aren't opposed to an increase in efficiency," he said, "but they dislike being governed by someone they can't recall, in an appointed position. There's this image of another layer of government govern-ment being added." A third idea, he said, would be a full-time commissioner. At any rate, the commission commis-sion should change its meeting meet-ing format to communicate better with the citizens. Commission meetings should rotate from Coalville to Kamas to Park City, he said. "There's no constitutional constitu-tional reason for holding them all the time in the county courthouse." Or the commission could at least hold town meetings. The County Planning Commission Commis-sion should also meet in western Summit County at least once every two months. Cooper said he felt a particular obligation to keep in touch with Park City, since he represents the area. "I welcome the press," he said, and vowed to issue regular statements. Many county problems have been caused, he said, by a lack of understanding between the government and the people. "More people should participate in the planning levels a road board, for example." Cooper said Summit County Coun-ty has a greater diversity of lifestyle than he's ever seen. It may be divisive, he added, but it's also helpful, since the three areas can support each other. "When the revenues from Park City housing are down, the revenues from the oil fields will be up," he said. There is concern, county-wide, county-wide, about certain problemsfirst prob-lemsfirst of all, the availability avail-ability of and quality of water. But each area has its specific concerns. "In Park City, there's a lot of discussion on growth, and a wide range of ideas about it," he said, "from those who see opportunities for unlimited un-limited growth, to those who want to shut the doors." In Kamas, he said, citizens are worried they will be asked to subsidize the other two areas of the county. They also worry that strict building regulations de signed for the western area will make it difficult for Kamas residents to subdivide sub-divide or pass on property. "At present, our county code is three ordinances in one, to address each area," he said. "Rules to govern building in urban areas are considered a drastic attack on free agency in rural areas." Coalville citizens are concerned con-cerned about the disappearance dis-appearance of agriculture and the impact of the energy industry, he said. His own home, Summit Park, is a unique case. It was the county's first experience with a subdivision. The roads, which were insufficient insuffi-cient to begin with, he said, have become a job for the county. "They have a right to look at us as a millstone, but we won't always be that way." To solve future problems, the county has now established estab-lished that subdivisions will come in as special service districts, he said. Older developments are also converting con-verting to that form. If the district approach doesn't work, he said, two further alternatives are annexation to a city, or incorporation. Another big adjustment for the county is energy development. Unfortunately, he said, severance taxes from industry often go to state general funds, instead of impacted areas. "Summit, "Sum-mit, Uinta, and Carbon Counties could be a mighty force in getting those funds," he said. "I don't believe in a tax that's just created to hinder an industry's growth. But energy firms have created immediate costs, and have fallen short of paying." They have also created an important social impact, especially on youth. The energy jobs encourage the young to go, into the , work force more quickly,, he said." "It's hard to convince a ' student with an aptitude for teaching that he should go to school for four years, to make $14-15,000 a year, when he can work now for several times that." Other issues addressed by Cooper included: Development around the Park City area: The city and county planning departments depart-ments should work together on development in Snyder-ville. Snyder-ville. The county codes are now sufficient to guide development, but should get up-to-the-minute reviews. The codes should be flexible, so that a developer might go outside the ordinance, in trade for some other service provided to the county. Development on Highway High-way 224: "I was instrumental instrumen-tal in developing the zoning ordinances there," he said, "and I saw a very strong desire from residents to maintain the aesthetics, and that pleasing drive into Park City. It's important it be a residential-oriented area and avoid high traffic." Family planning: When a town has a strong desire for it, he said, it should try to find the funds itself. "I will go along with what the courts say is right and acceptable," he added, "I don't believe tax dollars should be used for it." Opinion of county departments: de-partments: "Our sheriff 's deparment is one of the best in the state," he said. And the work at the courthouse as a whole is unappreciated. "I would look in each area for any ways to improve efficiency," ef-ficiency," he said. Handling of the Coalville hospital and county health: "It's easy to be a Monday-morning Monday-morning quarterback, but I think more thought should have gone into the original decision (to hire Advanced Health as managers)," he said. "Such associations, in Utah and across the country, have not worked well. And I wonder if the contract had been reviewed the way it ought to be." He also said it was important now to have good emergency facilities and an effective ambulance service. Cooper, born in New Jersey Jer-sey and raised in Vermont, has lived in Summit Park for 14 years. He has experience in insurance, manufacturing, manufactur-ing, labor mediation, the oil industry, and real estate. At present he works with a Summit County livestock research company. Cooper's children attend Park City schools, and he has authored a nationally-distributed nationally-distributed tourist guide on the area. His ad firm, Al Cooper & Associates, presently pre-sently operates out of Park City. As commissioner, he said, he will act effectively as a diplomat. Combined with a strong private-sector background, back-ground, and an understanding understand-ing of the county and people, Cooper believes this makes a strong case for his seat on the County Commission.
