Most of ihe future growth will occur in the Snyderville Basin. The Basin's current residents and newcomers have a right to the enhanced quality of life first-class recieation facilities bring to a community. funding for these facilities could he accomplished in any one of several ways. The county could issue general obligation bonds. The Snyderville Basin Recreation District could issue bonds. Impact fees could he assessed on new development. As you can see there are a myriad of ways to fund recreation. 3. Oiit-goinK County Commissioner Gene Moser says the county needs to hire a professional pro-fessional manager and he has suggested other changes in county government as well. Do you agree with his proposals or do you have other ideas about how the county seat should be run? In my opinion, the question of county management is slightly more complex than Commissioner Moser has portrayed it., I lis focus has been primarily on administrative administra-tive matters, expressing concern in his writings that under the current cur-rent system items seem to "fall between the cracks." While that may be true. I believe the between -the-cracks issue may be more a lunction of the current commission's managerial ability than our foim of county government. govern-ment. On ihe other hand. I believe theie aie fundamental questions about how we govern that we may want to address including the hiring hir-ing of a professional manager. Jim Soter Jim Soter, Republican Candidate for County Commission Seat B I. Particularly in light of the hint few lvw,,water years, during which residents have been asked to ration outdoor watering, concerns con-cerns have been raised abut whether existing water sources in the Snyderville Basin will be able to handle proposed new growth in the area. What, in your view, is the County Commission's responsibility in addressing these concerns? I have always consideied walei as one of the critical issues thai will ultimately , determine the. future of the Snyderville Basin. Because of this, as a County Commissioner I personally initiated initiat-ed the Western Summit County Water Study, aimed at Quantifying the long let in water-supply water-supply for the Basin. Unfortunately, the succeeding County Commission aborted the study and precious time has been lost in understanding this critical resource. f g ;l?t y? If elected County Commissioner, Commis-sioner, I will move to immediately link all future development to a project's ability to prove so-called wet water sources and to further prove that there will be no impact on the water supplies to existing developments. 2. The current County Commission formed a Snyderville Basin Recreation District but so far no facilities have been built. It there a need for recreation sen ices in the Basin and if so, how should they be funded? I am already on recoid as sup porting new recreation facilities in the basin. The $64.00(1 question is how should they be lunded. 'I lure are a number of alternatives avail able to the commission. muIi as bonds, mill levies, etc.. each vviih its individual set of pros and cons. At this time I tend to favor the Recreation District issuing its own bonds. With Basin citizens serving serv-ing on the board, the recreation district would be closest to the issues and best suited to determine deter-mine the level of recieation services ser-vices for the, community and the level pf financial commitment the community would be willing to make. 3. Out-going County Commissioner Gene Moser says the county needs to hire a professional pro-fessional manager and he has suggested other changes in county government as well. Do you agree with his proposals or do you have other ideas about how Ihe count; seat should be run? I have long felt that we needed to re-examine our approach to county government and Commissioner Moser's recommendation recom-mendation that the county hire a professional manager is a good first step. However. I also believe we need to look at the basic structure of our county government and determine whether it can carry us to the future. Under Utah law there are a number of different ways we can organize the county and I think we need to put each of them before the people and let them choose. I have great faith in Ihe people of Summit County and their ability to manage their own destiny. Gary Weiss Gary Weiss, Democrat Candidate for County Commission Seat B 1. Particularly in light of the last few low water years during which residents have been asked to ration outdoor watering, concerns con-cerns have been raised abut whether existing water sources in the Snyderville Basin will be able to handle proposed new growth in the area. What, in your view, is the County Commission's responsibility in addressing these concerns? I his issue goes to the core of government's responsibility As a Planning Commissioner. I've pushed for the requirement that developers must prove wet water before any approval whatsoever is even ontemplated. This is the very least we should do. Also, the I ier System will play a big role in limiting future water use. However, this only addresses new demand. To protect existing residents. I'll push to make recycling of water, for landscape use. a reality and a priority in Summit County. This could effectively increase useable water by more than a third. These steps are only part of the long-term solution, but we need to act immediately on the local level, to protect existing residents res-idents NOW. 2. The current County Commission formed a Snyderville Basin Recreation District but so far no facilities have been built. It there a need for recreation services in the Basin and if so, how should they be funded? Recreation should be considered consid-ered fundamental in Summit County. The result of past commissions com-missions is not one park or recreational recre-ational facility in the Snyder ville Basin. I propose a partnership among the School District. Park City and the County to fund, build and operate new recreational facilities. Additionally, impact fees should be lev ied on all new development devel-opment for recreation and parks, the people should be offered the chance to levy an assessment on themselves for recreation, and money should be allocated from the General Fund and bonds. Only by using all of these tools, starting immediately, and adhering adher-ing to strict growth management for the future, will we achieve the quality of recreation that residents deserve. 3. Out-going County Commissioner Gene Moser says the county needs to hire a professional pro-fessional manager and he has suggested other changes in county government as well. Do you agree with his proposals or do you have other ideas about how the county seat should be run? I don l agree at this time. We need a facilitator, or point of contact, con-tact, working for the commission, who can follow-up and implement the needs of the Commission. I don't believe we need that full level of additional government, which would be a substantial General Fund expense. While potentially a desirable step in the future, right now we have so many other needs to fund; recreation, open space, law enforcement, and many others. I couldn't square the expense with the need at this time. I'm confident that I have the energy and commitment to fulfill the demands placed on the Commission. Influenza and pneumonia season is approaching At a press conference on Monday, Oct. 3, at the State Office Building, Lt. Gov. Olean Walker and other prominent Utahns "presented arms" and received the first flu shots of the season. As wintertime approaches, the flu epidemic looms on the horizon. Soon, people everywhere will be coughing, sneezing, and suffering from symptoms such as fever, runny nose, sore throat and aches and pains. While most will recover within a week of the onset, thousands could die during a flu outbreak. Influenza and pneumonia combined have ranked as the fourth leading cause of death among all American women and the fifth leading cause of death among all Americans over the age of 65. For healthy adults and children, flu can be a moderate to severe illness, resulting in a few days lost from work or school. But, flu can be life-threatening life-threatening for individuals who are considered high risk such as young children and older adults. Influenza vaccines are safe; no one can get the flu from the shot. Flu shots must be taken once a year, since the virus strains change every year. Only 40 percent of older adults living in the community receive their influenza shots every year, and only 20 percent receive the pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. Fifty percent of last year's confirmed cases of influenza were children according to the Utah State Health Department. This year, parents are also encouraged to get flu shots for their children as no physician's order will be required. As part of the Christmas Seal Campaign, the American Lung Association of Utah is working to change those numbers and stress prevention through immunization. Remember, both vaccines are covered under Medicare and other health insurance programs. This year, the American Lung Association is combining efforts with CNS Home Health Plus, the state and county health departments, FHP, and IHC to provide low-cost flu shots to the citizens of Utah. Now is the time to get your shots. For further information about the clinics throughout the state you can call 1-800-LUNGUSA or the Flu Hotline, 486-5753.
