The seat has been empty since Mayor Mike Embley submitted his resignation from the council post just prior to taking the oath of office as mayor on Jan. 6. During the past week, five names have been added to a list of prospects, according to City Recorder Kathy Kaumans. New to the list are Claude Jones, Larry Bunkall, Frank Domichel, Judy Larson and Randall Armstrong.

The United Association of Community Councils here Thursday night elected Norm Sims president for the next year and heard two speakers discuss development in Wasatch Front Canyons. Cal Schneller, with the County Planning Commission, presented a draft of a canyon development plan which would control building in Emigration Canyon. The draft, which Schneller said was deliberately left vague so specifics could be filled in through public comment and additional study, addresses concerns such as site development, road construction, water supplies and highway maintenance, among other things. Schneller, as many UACC guests do, became frustrated near the end of the discussion when UACC members complained about the proposal and claimed they were barred from attending a meeting where the proposed master plan was discussed. Preliminary development of the master plan started aobut three years ago. Schneller said the proposal has been adopted by the County Commission, although it acknowledges it is just a draft. However, Sims attacked the plan, saying, I have serious problems with that master plan. It was rushed through with the argument that it (additional study) would cost too much. I do not think it is a good plan, he charged. area than all of Salt Lake City. In other business, UACC members heard reports about the tax limitation initiative, a grass roots movement to restrict the states ability to increase taxes and were told that UACC will once again try to push a bill through the current legislative sesssion which would control cities ability to annex unincorporated communities. In addition to Sims, who was elected president, the following will hold UACC offices for the next year: Dave Howick (Kearns Town Council), vice president; Donna Crase (Taylorsville-BennioCommunity Council), treasurer; Kim Kruger (Millcreek Community Council), secretary. n UACC guest speakers often bear the brunt of their hosts wrath. County Auditor Nelson Williams recently spoke about the countys budget process and was interrupted numerous times by UACC members, who continually interrupted each other. UACC also heard from Alexis Kelner, a member of a group called Save Our Canyons. Kelner was also a member of, albiet one not in favor of the idea, the Salt Lake Olympic Committee. ...

In a dimly-lighte- d room that stank of stale cigarette smoke the Salt Lake County Council of Governments met Thursday to discuss once again the prospects of d building a regional jail. The meeting was held in an unkempt training room in the Metropolitan Hall of Justice. Following the session, many COG members toured the countys overcrowded jail facility. Most of the discussion revolved around the issue of whether cities or the county should pay the bill for prisoners housed there. The county last year said it plans to start charging cities about $34 per day per prisoner, even though it collects a tax levy from cities already for jail operation. Additionally, point out COG members (mayors of each city in Salt Lake County, plus the countys three commissioners) the County Sheriffs Department itself admits it costs just $26.82 to house inmates. 300-be- COG members will meet in a special breakfast session later this month to further discuss the prospects of building and financing a regional jail and, presumably, continue to talk about the countys plan to charge cities to house their prisoners. Alta Mayor Bill Levitt, who has spearheaded much of the study over the jail issue, told COG members that a proposal to bill cities for each of their prisoners would be an and cost accounting nightmare more to administer than the original cost of providing jail service. Newly-electeSandy Mayor Steve Newton, however, disagreed, saying he favors the billing process. If such were the case, and cities did pay for their prisoners, local municipalities would have been responsible for more than 200 of the county's nearly 500 prisoners Thursday. In other action, it took State Continued on page 7 d sat down and retorted, were rehashing old things I dont see where this is leading us. This is not final, its only a guideline.

Holdover directors are Bob Kirkham of Kennecott and Sue ODonnell of Hercules.
