Perry, a Democrat, is running for the two-year commission seat against Republican Al Cooper. And, although he is a newcomer to politics, he says he is an old hand at handling perspnnel and finance. Perry, 37, a former executive execu-tive in a sporting goods company, now runs his own real estate business and works as an appraiser for Summit County (he says that, if elected, he would resign from that position). He believes he has proven himself as a leader and administrator in these positions. posi-tions. Perry sees the need for better coordination between the departments in county government, but argues that it could be done without hiring a county manager. "My opinion is, a full-time commissioner who has a good handle with what's going on in the county would serve the same purpose as a county manager." Because of the flexibility within his real-estate business, busi-ness, Perry believes he would be able to devote the time necessary to serve the county well. Perry believes that better organization could help reduce re-duce the number of decisions made in commission meetings. meet-ings. "A lot of these things could be handled within the departments depart-ments themselves," he says. "But I think anything related to spending the public money has got to have attention paid to it... You've got to know where your money's coming and going." On issues relating to the Park City areas, Perry voices opposition to strip zoning along U-224, but supports the efforts to keep a family planning clinic in the area. On the strip zoning issue, Perry argues that granting commercial status to Bruce Decker's parcel could open the floodgates. "Once you start, you set a precedent that makes it difficult to enforce... There are about 25 parcels (along U-224) that could be zoned the way that Decker would like his zoned." However, Perry expresses confidence in the way growth in Snyderville is being handled overall. "I'm not disappointed at all with some of the current developments out there... I think Stan (County Planner Stan Strebel) is very competent." com-petent." On family planning, Perry believes in following the wishes of the people. "I definitely believe that if Park City needs a clinic, it should be in existence. The County Commission, if at all possible, should help." But he adds that the commissioners should also look at the cost effectiveness of the program, whatever form it takes. If he were elected, Perry would think twice before trying to resurrect a local hospital supported by the taxpayers. "There's got to be more growth to be able to support a private hospital... I don't think the taxpayers are Student count shows increase of 10 percent Student enrollment in the Park City School District showed a 10 percent increase when the final count was in Oct.l. Students in the school system this year total 1,096, up from the 998 of Oct. , 1981. The biggest increase came in the high school, with 47 more students than last year for a total of 305. The biggest single-grade increase came in kindergarten kindergar-ten with enrollment jumping from the 69 of 1981 to 104 this year. Parley's Park Elementary now has an enrollment of 418 and the Treasure Mountain Middle School, 372. (The fifth grade moved this year from the elementary to the middle school.) Park City had its biggest enrollment hike in 1977, with an increase of 19.5 percentfrom per-centfrom 657 to 785 students. stu-dents. Projections in the school district's master plan anticipated a 14.2 percent jump in enrollment this year. Park City still is among the three fastest-growing school districts in the state, along with Jordan Valley and the Bear Lake area, according ac-cording to Supt. Richard Goodworth. He said the projected enrollments are based on various population growth studies conducted by the state Board of Education Ed-ucation and the University of Utah.

If another hospital were to be built in Summit County, Perry would like to see it more centrally located, to serve the needs of Coalville, Kamas and Park City. On energy development, Perry disagrees with those who assert that the companies com-panies are not paying their own way. "Over half the tax dollars in the county are coming from oil and other ; It's rather obvious that they are paying their way." As a commissioner, Perry would like to see a good balance so that energy development does not happen hap-pen at the expense of agriculture. "The commission commis-sion must be a watchdog," he says. Perry believes that his ties from Summit Park to Echo could help him to be an effective communicator to all segments of the county. "There's been a certain amount of animosity (between (be-tween areas) for 75 or 80 years," he says. "To break that kind of barrier is going to take some time... But I'd be making decisions for the entire county." -1 -a Ron Perry Summit County Elect!
