Monberg Vernal Express Washington Correspondent Washington The Administration is using the 50th anniversary of the Taylor Grazing Act it hit the 50-year mark on June 28 to push cooperative management agreements (CMAs) with local public land users. At mid-year the Interior Department Depart-ment had entered into 31 CMA's with livestock operators, recreationists, and fish and wildlife organizations. In addition, another 61 were being negotiated. The totals provided to Western Resources Wrap-up (WRW) by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at mid-year were as follows: Types of CMA's Grazing Recreation, etc. Wildlife Wild horse & burro program Total 52 11 26 3 92 While the idea of having local residents help manage public land isn't new, the Administration is pushing CMA's with unusual vigor at this time because the limited funds available for public kind management are likely to get more limited in the immediate future as the reality of the huge budget deficit takes hold. Honk, Interior Secretary William P. Hark told the Montana Stockgrowcrs Association on May 31, CMA's have the !in value of assuring decisionmaking decision-making in public land matters "at the Jural level by the people mot f-lected" f-lected" while reducing "reliance on the federal bureaucracy and the frtrral ifrjiury Iter are twme of the more In-trtf.'..j In-trtf.'..j CMA's fiti in ej-ra!in or Mn to t trim iur4 Mtf-!jr4 e?t tout: '.l.M Ha n-H n-H an etfrrmrfii iib Garnet ft-M"f : At VK is!kifl lit M.s.fcouJj, ti t'.tti jj ttrslrfu M '-'-iM VIM , iri t;rt w y;o ' u tmt t'. i: t c c.1 ti p-' U-an ?

He has 62 animal unit months of grazing and, under the CMA, "the flexibility to use these AUM's anytime during a 5 month period of time from May 15 to Oct. 31" annually. He is given the authority to make several range improvements. im-provements. They include developing an irrigation system and planting additional ad-ditional grasses in the valley bottoms of Ouray Valley and building a division fence to allow a deferred rotation grazing graz-ing system to be implemented. In return, he agrees to manage his allotment with multiple-use objectives and to provide enough forage to sustain sus-tain 21 deer and 12 antelope annually. Both parties will monitor actual grazing graz-ing use and study forage utilization and other range trends. BLM will IN OPERATION IN PROCESS 19 11 1 0 33 0 25 3 61 monitor rainfall in the area.

The new program, which has been in effect in Salt Lake City for approximately approx-imately three months, includes issuing a citation to persons violating building codes or zoning ordinances. Reno explained ex-plained the system in separate meetings to county commissioners, Vernal City mayor and council members and other persons involved in building and zoning in the Basin area, as well as members of the legal profession. Reno explained that the new zoning procedures replace the former red tag system. Under the red tag a person who violated the building code or zoning zon-ing ordinances was given a red card which ordered them to stop the practice. prac-tice. Reno said that many times the red tags were ignored because of the length of time it takes to get the issue into court. Under the old system it could take as long as six to 12 months to get a case into court. In the old system after a red tag was issued the violators were sent letters ordering them to comply with the zoning ordinances or building code regulations. Reno said that frequently frequent-ly people ignored the warning letters and if the situation was not life threatening it was difficult to bring the violator to court. Under the new system persons violating the building code or loning ordinances are sent a warning letter requiring them to stop the practice. If violators do not comply with the order they are issued a citation which is similar to a traffic violation. The offender must clear up the violation viola-tion within a given period time, which is generally 10 to 14 days. The offender also has the option of taking the matter mat-ter to court. Since the program was enacted building inspectors in Salt Lake City who have been duly deputized deputiz-ed have issued 30 citations. Of the citations issued 50 percent of the violators have taken care of the matter voluntarily, and complied immediately. im-mediately. Thirty percent of the cases have gone to court in which the city has won each case, 15 percent of the cases are pending and five percent were dismissed. .Under the old system the inspector spent an average of 20 to 30 man hours on each case. Since the new system was enacted they spent approximately approximate-ly two man hours on each case. Reno said that Salt Lake City is the "test city" for the system and that the program may be expanded to include persons violating health codes and fire codes. Commissioners and the council men discussed how the program could be adopted into other communities and counties within the Basin area. Reno advised commissioners and council men that it took almost a year from the time of the Initial idea to issue citations until it was enacted. A prearranged prear-ranged bail schedule was di vised before the program was enacted.
