Milieu as its President during last week's reorganization meeting. Milieu, who is General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of the Sandy, Utah based Deseret Generation and Transmission Cooperative has been one of Deseret's two representatives to Western Fuels since 1980. Milieu was also elected to serve as President of Western-Fuels-Utah. Western Fuels Association is a national na-tional fuel supply cooperative serving serv-ing twenty-three member systems across the United States. Milieu is a former general manager manag-er of Moon Lake Electric Association of Roosevelt, and has served as a member of Utah State Board of Higher Education and Utah State University's Institutional Council. Merrill J. Milled If all goes as planned, by July 1994 Vernal City will have its own justice court which will handle all of the city's misdemeanor and small claim cases. The reasons for the move to implement im-plement its own justice system are two fold, said City Manager Kenneth Bassett. First there is scheduling. There is about a one-month backlog back-log of misdemeanor cases in District Court, said Mike Hamner, Vernal City Police chief. District Court also uses stack scheduling of cases in which four or five case are scheduled sched-uled at the same time. "An officer may wait two to three hours before his case comes up," Chief Hamner said. "Officer's time in the justice court would be minimal. I would project it to be less than what we are now spending." The second reason for the city implementing im-plementing a justice court is finances. fi-nances. Currently the city receives 50 percent of the fines or forfeitures. forfei-tures. With it own justice court, it would receive 100 percent, but would have to bare all the expenses. In comparing Vernal 's situation to other cities that have implemented a justice court, most are making money, mon-ey, said Bassett. The court would likely be held once a week in the city council chambers. "There would be little modifications to put the court in the council chambers," Bassett said. "The big expense would be in training train-ing a judge and clerk." It is estimated that the cost to implement im-plement the justice court would be $40-$50,000. Last year justice courts in cities like Woods Cross and Clinton made $69,000 to $90,000. The Vernal City Council would appoint the judge who would be part-time.
