Com-mission. Blonquist, a native and resident of Coalville, said there may have to be some zoning changes along U224 but "we don't want to see a Redwood Road effect into Park City." A planner with Utah Power and Light in Park City, Blonquist is opposing Republican Carl Ovard, the incumbent, in the four-year commissioner's race. Residential development of the Snyderville Basin, he believes, is inevitable although perhaps not as rapid rap-id a pace as previously anticipatedand an-ticipatedand it is up to county commissioners to prevent such development from becoming a burden to the county. The area of roads should be of special concern, "so developers don't create a monster that the county has to deal with." Blonquist, aware of the current issue on federal versus ver-sus state funding of family planning in Summit County, stated that he believes the service should be available to those who need it. "We have to serve people," he said. The closing of the Coalville Hospital, he believes, was an "injustice for all the people" of the county. He explained that much of the hospital's equipment had been donated over the years by local service ser-vice organizations as well as individuals, and when Ad-vancd Ad-vancd Health Services pulled out and the hospital closed, those assets were sold to cover budget deficits. "A telephone call from the state closed the hospital, and the clinic is not serving the total needs of the north end of the county. We need better health service, and the tax base is there if the people are willing to pay for the service," ser-vice," he said. Does energy development pay its own way in the county? coun-ty? "The oil companies are creating an impact, but they are definitely paying their way," Blonquist said, noting that the major energy companies com-panies in the area are contributing con-tributing a significant amount of revenue to the county's general fund. Although the county charter char-ter provides for the appointment appoint-ment of a county manager, Blonquist says he does not see the need at this time for such a position to be filled. "I don't see the need or the justification. It's a matter that should be left open, but a county manager is not warranted by the present population. "Decision-making," he said, "should be left to elected elec-ted officials." If elected to the commissioner's com-missioner's post, Blonquist said he would like to see closer communications between be-tween county departments to improve services. He said county residents should be noticing an improvement in road maintenance and snow removal after the recent appointment ap-pointment of a new county road supervisor. Commissioners' time at weekly meetings, he said, could be used more efficiently efficient-ly if more background work were done by county staff so decision-making could be expedited. Meetings could draw more input from county coun-ty residents if held in the afternoons af-ternoons and evenings, and "the more input from citizens, the better," he said. The county, he noted, is split up into three areas Coalville-Kamas, the Kimball Junction area including in-cluding Summit Park and surroundings, and Park City. The geographical split also creates an ideological difference, he agrees. "But we have great resources tourism, recreation recrea-tion and agriculture and ' ''' v y f Cliff Blonquist '7 don V see the need or the justification ...a county manager is not warranted by the present population. " they complement each other. We have the remain flexible in working together," he said. Blonquist said he does not envision accelerated growth in the county the next five years. "I don't think the growth will come that quickly, but the planning still must happen hap-pen now. The potential is there, and we have to be prepared," he said. Blonquist, 38, his wife, Carol Joy, and two children, Eric, 10, and Andrea, 8, live in the Chalk Creek area east of Coalville. How the Planning Commission WWW MOTIONS C. COWHER R. DAVIDSON B.
