Show CAP Board of Trustees Meet In Moab to Discuss Proaram The Southeastern Utah Community Action Program Board of Trustees met last Saturday, January 23, in Moab. Present at the meeting were four County Commissioners, Commis-sioners, Mr. Gary Prazen from Cabon, M. Gadell Snow from Emery, Mr. Mars Pope from Grand and Mr. Marion Hazelton from San Juan. Low-income representatives Mrs. Anna Stover from Moab and Mr. Jim Pierce from Huntington attended. And, Mr. Bud Lincoln, the Grand County Chamber of Commerce Com-merce representative was also present. The meeting was presided over by the Chairman, Mr. Pierce. Several Sev-eral staff members and a large number of interested1 community citizens also attended. The first order of business busi-ness for the board was to fill an empty seat from San Juan county from the private pri-vate sector. While any business, labor, civic or religious re-ligious organization concerned con-cerned with the elimination and alleviation of poverty pover-ty could have requested the seat, only one such application ap-plication was received. Mrs. Joyce Higley from St. Christopher's Mission at Bluff was therefore appointed appoin-ted to that position. Discussion then turned to the requests from the SOCIO chapters in Carbon and Grand counties to have a representative of their own seated on the board, as is provided for in both federal and CAP policies. The decision was made that SOCIO would have a seat at the next meeting, either through the replacement of the Carbon County private sector representative or by doubling the size of the Boad of Directors. Changes in the CAP bylaws by-laws were then discussed and approved. Following these decisions reports from staff members mem-bers about the various CAP projects were heard. Mr. Ike Simmons reported on the pogress of the Southeastern Sou-theastern Utah Alcoholism Rehabilitation project. Mrs. Marie Tibbet spoke to the Board about the activities and concepts behind the Emergency Food and Medical Medi-cal Supplement Program.
