It looks feasible, he said, however, the figures show that its very close, only bordering oa profitable. BEE EDITOR Discussions have begun between the county rod Confluence Associates concerning the possibility of creating a recycling plant in Summit County. The plant, if all goes according to plans, will recycle construction material such as wood, drywall, and cardboard. The waste would be made into woodchips, land-- , scaping mulch, or smaller pieces of wood The Summit County Commissioners also voiced their desire for the plans to work. landfill because there's lots of construction waste in the landfill (in Henefer)." If the recycling plant were to be constructed, it would probably be built close to Park City, where nearly 85 percent of the construction waste comes from. Once fire recyclables were removed, the rest of the waste would be taken 'to die Henefer landfill. Construction waste isn't the only type of trash being discussed for recycling. Public Works is also looking into die possibility of recycling household items as well There have been lots of new technoloin the recycling business, created gy Richins said. have Fully automated dump-trucrecently been placed on the market Some of these have the capability the keep waste and recyclables separate. ks It would be very advantageous for the county, said Jim Soter, Summit County It would save years on the Commissioner. Public Works is currently looking into new waste contracts for the near future. Planners are looking into possibilities of picking up trash and recyclables on the same day or separate days. The current waste disposal contract ends in the year 2000, so the planning process will be underway for sometime. Currently, only Park City has recycling. However, the city does not offer curbside service. Instead, residents must separate trash and take it to one of several recycling centers around town. If the construction waste recycling center does become a reality, concrete plans and proposals arent expected to arise for another six months or so, according to Richins.

Opposition by James Powell BEE EDITOR r The Summit County Commissioners discussed the proposed Peoa Recreation District again on Monday, Jan. 26, and decided to create another resolution of intent. The newest resolution is needed j because foe countys attorney does not feel comfortable with the old plan, which stated funds for the district would come from annual fees of $50, placed on all residents within foe districts boundaries. In the new resolution, the district will J to come up with its own ways to get v. Another difference found in the new resolution is boundaries and exemptions. The districts boundaries will be spelled out clearly, and on Summit County Treasurer Glenn Thompsons recommendation, all state assessed properties will be exempt from the district Thompson feels that it would be unfair for state assessed entities to have pay fees or receive tax increases for something they wont benefit from. This latest step concerning the people of Peoa really does nothing more than get foe ball rolling so the district can become its own legal entity as soon as possible. What were doing hoe wont create the controversy," said Summit County Commissioner, Eric SchifferlL Commissioner Sheldon Richins agreed pointed out (hat county, wont be raising any taxes. Instead, the county will simply be getting foe recreation district into the hands of the people of Peoa. We wont raise any taxes, Richins said Monday. Theyll (foe district) will do it on their own. If foe district, once it is named a legal entity, wants to tax the people in the district, it mutt first put it to a vote of the people. In order to fond the district through taxes, Thompson estimates that an increase of about .000612 percent will be necessary to earn the $5000 expected to fund the district each year. Thats roughly $25 to $100 per household. But first things first At their next meeting on Monday, Feb. 2, the Board of Commissioners will announce the latest resolution of intent. After the meeting, anyone inside the dis .an . tricts boundaries will have 30 days to voice their opposition to the proposal, and ask for exemptions they may feel is necessary. The resolution is the first step in a long process the district will have to go through. If less than 50 percent of residents oppose the plan, the next step will be for the County Commissioners to agree to form foe district and give it legal entity status. Thai, they will establish a form of gov- ernment Next, the first governing board will be appointed with staggered two- - and four-yeterms.

The Commissioners once again voiced their opinion that the district is a positive plan for Peoa. The vote came out in favor of foe district said Commissioner Jim Soter. And we should support it too." Gary Jense sat before the Summit County Commissioners on Monday, Jan. 16, to discuss his plans for the Splendor Valley Subdivision in Marion. The 84 subdivision, near the Marion Cemetery, was platted in the early 1960s but not much has happened with foe plans since then. Until now. Jense told the Commissioners that he wished to move forward with foe subdivision plans. He has already talked with fire authorities, who said he must delete force from the plans for fire code reasons. Jense also discussed his plans of using a 250,000 gallon water tank and including affordable housing in the area. The Commissioners told Jense to first take foe matter up with foe Summit County Planning Commission, which he intends to do, before any decisions can be made.
