Show Wednesday, February 4, 1976 Page 3 Police Dept. To Form Auxiliary Board x... ; & s ( I Bircumshawand Leatham The Park City Police had looked into the possibility Lt&&rffilerts iirlheTbfoe6WfeMrve'Wi force but of forming a police auxiliary board which, according to acting Police Chief Dennis Leatham, "will be a great help to the police force as well as to the community," The auxilery board, which .will be made up of 12 local citizens is a strictly volunteer group which will have no power except when working directly under a full time police officer; Duties per- tormea Dy auxnery memoers will include riding on patrol with a regular officer and helping out with traffic control on occasions such as the Summer Arts Festival. Leatham said he has taken steps to form the new group as a result of a number of citizens ' who have approached ap-proached him with the idea and because the police s. department is undermanned and could use extra help. Offering an example of how thinly stretched the police force is, Leatham said, "on the average, we turn in 110 overtime hours a week, which adds up to almost three full time officers.'! The Police Chief said he Chamber And Lodging Post Filled . At the Lodging Association meeting held Monday, Feb. 2, Laura Thomas, a Park City Ski Corp. employee and Bill Shorter of the Treasure Mountain Inn were appointed to the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. , i Shorter is presently the President of the Utah . Ski Association and manager of the T.M.I. Thomas is an executive secretary at the resort and also serves ' as secretary for the Lodging Association. In other business, Ken Moripelier, of the Moana Corporation, resigned his position with the Lodging Assn. and was replaced by Dennis O'Brien, Moana'S t - 4-1 Pi "mat ine'vosr iirtorf ecr was prohibitive. He referred to a law passed by the 1975 Utah Legislature which stated all reserve police officers must attend the police academy and receive 40 hours of additional ad-ditional training each year. Officer John Birchumshaw, who is working with Leatham in forming the group, said that a minimum of 16 hours a month would be required by auxilery members. He noted that the new group would wear uniforms different from the regular police uniforms and will only carry a gun when deputized by a full time officer. ; . ' Leatham admitted that there are inherit dangers in forming such a group . and that "they can either get out of hand or work effectively within the community," Birchumshaw added, "We are going to make it work effectively." , Those .'; interested in becoming a member of the Auxilery Board must fill out an application by Feb. 17, and be interviewed by a police review board. general manager. The possibility of introducing in-troducing "script ticket" or an interchangable pass that could be ' used at all the resorts in the area was discussed and will continue to be investigated by the local lodgers. Jim Carr was assigned, to look in to the problems involved in-volved in setting up a central Park City reservation service, ser-vice, which would be used by all of the town's lodges. ' Dale Nelson, President of the Lodging Assn., was voted 'a $200 a month salary and Laura Thomas received a raise from $10 to $25 per month for her services as secretary. . 7. : I ,A ' El City And County Reach New Landfill Agree Park City and Summit County have agreed to a new landfill contract which will significantly increase the costs to be borne by the city. At the meeting held Thursday evening, the Park City Council and County Commissioners renegotiated a landfill agreement which had called for a 50-50 split of setup and operational costs. Under the new terms, the city will pay 70 percent of the 1976 expenses with the county covering the remainder. From the time the landfill project was started in April of 1974 until the end of l975,Park City paid almost $50,000 for preparation and operation of the dump. Only $3,828 was collected from Users of the landfill during this period and the county had paid the city approximately $10,000.' It was decided that 60 percent of the costs incurred up to the first of this year would be paid by the city with the county responsible for 40 percent. Under . this arrangement, the county owes Park City in the neighborhood neigh-borhood of $9,800 which is to be paid sometime next week. Tolegram VII IU y Wa Austria The U.S. Ski Team telegram of support was forwarded to Innsbruck, Austria on Tuesday with 934 signatures wishing the young olympians well in the upcoming up-coming winter games. The telegram, which was supported by many local citizens and organized by Amanda Peterson and the Park j City Chamber of Commerce, read, "When you stand at the starting gate, remember that your friends from Park City, Utah, .headquarters of the U.S. Ski Team, are standing behind you and wish you good luck." Joan Chase, U.S. Ski Team Public Relations Director, said, "The telegram has been extremely effective in both letting the ski team know that the people of Park City are behind them as well as to raise money for the team and for the Park City Ski and Sports Club." Some of the more notable people who signed the telegram included, Buddy Hacket, Farrah Fawcett, Gov. Calvin Hampton, Mayor Leon Uriarte and Alfred Newmen. 1 Business Fees .' . . 1 , . i 1 ": (Continued From Page 1) things to do than track down people on the street, trying to get them to pay what they owe," Decker added. City Manager Wayne Matthews reports the city is also experiencing difficulty collecting no-fare tran-sportaytion tran-sportaytion assessments. Matthews observed that many persons who signed the petition supporting the no-fare no-fare system and the method of financing are among the delinquent. v "How can we expect the non-signers to pay if the people who signed . the petition won't," Matthews wondered aloud. y io The original 50-50 contract had been based on anticipated an-ticipated usage by city and county residents . and businesses. However, growth outside the city limits failed to materialize in projected proportions , and ; this was cited as justification for the new contract. A dispute over the landfill payments had been simmering sim-mering for many months with 1 ' Park City demanding that the county live up to the stipulations of the original contract. ., , . At the Thursday nighty meeting, the commissioners' said they had made their budget allocations for the. Park City landfill based on ; the costs of operating landfills land-fills in other parts of the . county. The expense of: creating and operating the local dump exceeded budget figures they said, and therefore, they were left with :, insufficient funds to reim burse the city. The new contract is for 1976 only. The landfill agreement (, will be negotioated yearly in order to base the percentage ' split on estimated usage by -the county and city.

Moss Sponsors Estate Tax Law Legislation designed to protect American farmers and ranchers from the inequities of federal estate taxes is being sponsored by SenatorFrank E. Moss, D-Utah. D-Utah. Moss said the legislation ' would raise the exemption of objected gross estates from the 1942 figure of $60,000 to $200,000 and would place a floor of $100,000 for marital deduction exemptions. "This legislation is much needed," Senator Moss said, "because inequitities in current federal estate law have a particularly severe impact on families engaged in agriculture." He said the legislation also would provide for an alternative alter-native valuation of certain real property including a formula for determining value .... ; according ; to established principles of agricultural economics. This will help alleviate inflated valuations due to location, he .said, and even further by developmental or speculative value. , ., 0 yy Condominiums, housos, SPECIALS OF THE WEEK : .' :. .-. f ...... i ; , .' r " ; .'. j" ik ,:' . ..
