"We have been trying to get such a bill through for the last five years,' says Patricia Brim, president of Utah Common Cause. "There Is a great deal of opposition still, and it's very vocal here among the legislators not to have to disclose their finances. They say it will discourage prospective candidates from running for office If they have to keep records. "Everybody has to keep records, she added. "Any business or household has to la order to pay Its taxes and meet Its bills. We are quite sure that no candidate who runs for public office ever loses track of the people who give him money because he's going to be back la several years asking them for donations again. All we're asking is be make those records available to the public through the press not aa election, before after." "If this were a general session, says Rep. Sellenelt I'd give H.B. 52 an excellent chance of passage . Obviously there would be some animosity, some resentment, a feeling perhaps that It's a spinoff of reactionary, some of the things that hapor pened this summer, maybe of the Nixon era, going back that far. "It is partisanship on both sides that is behind some of the opposltlon'says Patricia Brim. 'The bills are being treated a little bit like political footballs. If the people want to know how the political races of their representatives are being funded, If they would like to know who Is lobbying and spending great amounts of money up here at the capital on their legislators, they should make that known to their Senator and Represen- tative. According to Rep. Sellenelt, "A telephone call to their Representative 'and their Senator encouraging in government openness would be helpful. Other "Sunshine Bills' being examined by this legislature Include HER H.B. 9, Public Body Exclusion and HER H.B. 18, Public Meetings Act Amondements (both to open to the public legislature party caucuses and rules and sifting committees); HER H.B. 40, Lobbyist's Control (to require lobbyists to register with the state and report expenditures); HJJR. 19, Ethics and Organisation Rules Revision (to establish In state a bipartisan government ethics committee with enforcement powers); and HER H.B 91,CampalgnDisclosure Amendments, which is similar to H.B. 52.

It's a start, but funding for phase II and ad whether they should bear aa additional cost for Inspection, since It should be covered by the Engineers tee which .Is a percentage of the project. The additional costs of locating the well, would also boost the Engineers fee, thereby offsetting the additional lnspecton cost. The Recorder will request Johnson to be at the next meeting to discuss the matter. A letter from the Dept. of Health summarized the problems with the water system, noted during theDec-emb- er 28 survey, and noted that several items had been corrected since previous surveys were made. Council noted thai most of the deficlencys had been corrected, and the rest would be corrected with completion of the new well, water storage tank and chlortnator. Several other pieces of correspondence were handled routinely with little comment. The Water Policy was reviewed again, and Councilman Bradshaw reported oa connection and Impact fees from other communities he had contacted. He recommended that the Water and Sewer hookup feea were adequate at $900.00 each and comparable to other communities. He objected to an Impact tte of $500X0 but said a amaller fee of $50 to $60 might be acceptable. Turner said he thought water meters should be Installed throughout the city and the concensus was that Is was desirable, but the cost of $60-1per meter presented a problem. Requiring water with annexation was discussed, and Bradshaw said that developers would not object st the but time of development, would hesitate to dedicate water at the time of annexation, and not use it until took place. development 25 determining solutions. A public meeting was held oa December Zlst, 1M1 with nineteen citizens present, Bradshaw reported that the FCAG will work with the city on Industrial promotion, and contact has been made with several poten- tial marketing agents. At least three have shown aa Interest, and there will be followup to try and reach a workable agreement.Brad-sba- w was appointed as the council's contact person oa the Industrial park tor the present. Bradshaw said he had been contacted by Cedar City people to have the council scrutinize the newly formed Industrial development department of the FCAG, and Cedar City Office manned by Ralph Starr. He said there was considerable objection to the office, Starr, and the way It was set op. They asked that the Mllford Council study the situation and, make their feelings known to the County Com-mlsl- on. Council authorized Bradto contact Bulloch shaw Engineers and have maps of the water and sewer lines drawn. They will pick the memories of former employees to add to them.
