That's how Republican Carl Ovard of Henefer sums up his qualifications to run for re-election to the Summit County Commission. First appointed to the commission four years ago to fill the unexpired term of Alva Dearden, Ovard was unopposed when he ran for election to the two-year commission seat in 1980. He is now running for the four-year seat against Democrat Cliff Blonquist of Coalville. Ovard believes that his four years of experience and his willingness to devote as much time as necessary to the job should help to win his re-election. "There are many meetings, meet-ings, many things happening," happen-ing," he points out. "If we were to attend all the meetings, we would never go home." He notes that a commissioner's commis-sioner's responsibilities include in-clude representing the county in a variety of different organizations. In spite of the increasing workload on the commission, Ovard opposes the appointment appoint-ment of a county manager. He points out that voters recently rejected a charter change which included such a proposal. He suggests two other alternatives: "As the growth of the county continues, I've felt the need for an administrative administra-tive assistant. It's either that or a full-time commissioner ...I don't think we're ready for a full-time commission yet, but we're approaching it." Ovard defends the current meeting schedule which calls for day-long sessions every Tuesday. He says that daytime meetings are scheduled to coincide with the work hours of other officials such as the county attorney, recorder, sheriff . and clerk. ' " "All of the areas of county government are involved almost every time we meet," he says. And he dismisses the suggestion that the commissioners commis-sioners may be too involved in making administrative decisions. "The department heads run their programs. We don't get involved in the day-today decisions.. .We're not out there telling the road supervisor super-visor how to load the trucks." On issues relating to the Park City area, Ovard recognizes there is one that might cost him some votes: family planning. "I'm opposed to the federal fed-eral government being involved in-volved in family planning," he says. However, he also recognizes recog-nizes that he has an obligation obliga-tion to continue those programs pro-grams which have already been established and funded. "We went on record three or four weeks ago that we would continue the family planning program in the county." On growth in the Snyder-ville Snyder-ville Basin, Ovard says he believes that the development, develop-ment, to date has been handled well. "I feel that the developments develop-ments are a credit to the county, a credit to the area," he says. "We'll always have a need for growth as long as population increases and people want to be in these beautiful areas." M - S1 x ) J ffn--ii.i.-i,...i;Ki.vi.

He said the commission approached all the city councils in the county asking if they would support a taxing district for a hospital. "All of the city councils said no except Coalville. This was an indication to us that the majority of the people did not want to be taxed to costs, such as the plowing and maintenance of Chalk Creek Road. "Everyone has the idea that the oil companies have an open purse. I want to tell you they don't... The energy companies feel they are paying their share of the cost to maintain county services." ser-vices." Ovard says Summit County Coun-ty doesn't receive much (Tm opposed to the federal government govern-ment being involved in family planning. (However,) we went on record three or four weeks ago that we would continue the family planning program in Park City." Although the commission will have the ultimate decision deci-sion in granting commercial status to small parcels along U-224, Ovard isn't ready to announce his vote on the Bruce Decker proposal. "I don't attend the Planning Plan-ning Commission meetings," he says. "JE'm not aware of the arguments for and against. I don't think it would be fair for me to give an opinion one way or another." As a commissioner, Ovard witnessed the demise of the Summit County Hospital. And he says the experience told him something. "We've learned that, in the sustain the hospital." Ovard believes that, wherever wher-ever possible, health care costs should be handled by private enterprise. On the impact of energy development, Ovard does not believe, that, in all instances, in-stances, the private companies com-panies are paying their own way. He points out that, while the oil companies are paying about $3.9 million in local taxes per year, only $700,000 of that makes its way into the county coffers. He says the companies have been approached by the county to make extra contributions contri-butions to cover specific sympathy when asking the state for energy impact money because of the county's low mill levy. He says the commission is working to bridge the gap between Coalville and Park City. He points out that county-funded services such as public health, the Prevention Preven-tion Center and animal control are all supplied to Park City residents. However, How-ever, he recognizes that animosity still exists. "I think the influx of people coming into the area may change that... Perhaps this is the way to break this thing down."
