The County Com- mission here Monday awarded a contract to the firm of N. B. Reilly and Associates to make a study of the county's 911 Emergency System with an eye toward possible improvements and consolidation of some dispatching functions. The improved 911E system gives almost instant readouts on the location and identity of emergency callers and can also route calls to the appropriate Emergency System Answering Points, in Various cities. Further improvements may be realized through possible consolidation of police and fire dispatching among several cities. Meanwhile, Sandy Mayor Steve Newton says he believes that dispatching consolidation may be able to be accomplished between the cities of Sandy, West Valley, West and South Jordan, Murray and Draper, but he doubts that South Salt Lake and Salt Lake County will be able to be talked into joining such a consolidation dont think the cities will ever be able to come to an agreement or understanding with (Sheriff) Pete Hayward because they dont trust him. He and (Salt Lake City Police Chief Bud) Willoughby are too high profile people and I dont think there iS any trust that can be obtained between the rest of the cities and the sheriff However, I think there is a ;i of them bringing mentioned cities) together in an agreement. An agreement that could save all of us substantial money and increase service. According to Newton, there is a fear that the smaller cities would not have much control over equipment or operations if there was consolidation with the county. Newton also stated he believes the chances for an agreement among a number of the smaller cities is good because many of them have new mayors and two of them, Sandy and West Valley, have new police chiefs who are in favor of some kind of consolidation. He is not too optimistic about South Salt Lake Mayor Jim Davis joining such a consolidation, though. Jim isnt one of the new mayors, Newton said, and I think he has the feeling that he has gone this route before and it didnt work out. He tried consolidation with Murray and it didnt work. So he may be just sitting back and thinking, Let the new guys try it and see if they can get it to work. We may be too naive and dont know it wont work, but I think it will. The consultants study is expected to take about three months and at the end of that time, recommenda-toin- s will be made to each of the mayors in the valley. They will then get together for discussions and decisions on how to proceed. Your Week Ahead Horoscope ForeeastPeriod:419-4258- ARIES Mar.21-Ap- r. TAURUS y Apr.

The chief lobbying group for Utah cities will be fighting at the next state legislative session to win for municipalities the right to decide whether impounded dogs should be made available to research institutions The effort will be made because the League of Cities and Towns unanimously adopted the proposal, which was made by the Midvale City Council, during the group's midyear convention here last weekend. The resolution not only calls for the right of local governments to decide whether research institutions can have impounded animals, but it would give all municipalities the right ot sell such animals and for the price they choose. The law' currently states that research institutions have the right to any impounded animals they desire after a five-daholding period. Under the current law, such institutions are not required to pay for these animals. Midvale City Councilman JoAnn Seghini said the resolution is not a statement against the research community. The members of the League of Cities and Towns feel research is critical. They felt that giving cities the option w as a good compromise I dont think the league would ever support a ban, she said. There has been much controversy in recent months in the Salt Lake Valley between the research department of the University of Utah and various animal interest groups.

One problem, Seghini noted, is that cities in outlying areas, such as Brigham City, are not currently allowed to receive money from research institutions for impounded animals. This is money they could, use for improved animal services, she said. Another current problem, ac South Valley White Pages Direc- is May 8, 1987. r Its just about that time again.

Adorned with new Easter baskets, these youngsters plan to participate in this years scramble for Easter eggs . . . The final problem Seghini cited was that some municipalities find that selling dogs to research institutions creates a conflict between public attitudes and effective animal control services. The resolution will be presented to city and town representatives in the exact form it will appear before lawmakers at the leagues fall meeting. Other proposals adopted by the league ranged from municipal election procedures to more liberal advertising on freeway signs. One resolution calls for the State Tax Commission to give interest on sales tax money to municipalities. In the past, the state has been required to return only the principal amount. Another resolution calls for school districts to share equally in the cost of having crossing guards for school children. City or county governments have footed the bill in the past.
