He cited state law which requires such a system when a county has more County Commissioners pledged a raise will be forthcoming for county employees in the coming budget year which begins Jan. 1, 1977. But the amount of that raise is still in question. Chad Anderson, representing the Box Elder Chapter of the Utah Public Emp- than 130 full-tim- e em- ployees. Anderson said such a system would improve hiring practices and policies and provide an orderly grievance procedure. The association and commissioners agreed to meet again on that topic. Finally, the association renewed a request that the budget hearing in December be held during the evening hours instead of during the day. Anderson said a night hearing would make for a "more active open session" which county employees and other working citizens could attend. Commissioners agreed to consider it. Said Chase, "So far, our experience with evening meets. ..just hasn't been good. But we'll consider it." Clerk K. B. Olsen said his office would be hard pres- - loyee's Association, told commissioners Tuesday that the organization would like to see a cost of living raise applied on a percentage basis. The association would also "Like to see the county come up with maybe an adjustment in addition to cost of living to help catch up some of the employees," Anderson added. Anderson pointed out that cost of living went up 5.5 to 6 percent in the last year. He said the organization wants the raise applied on a percentage basis because salaries at the top end of the schedules in the county are too close to some middle and lower end salaries. A percentage application of any increase would help spread out the salary schedule. Commission Chairman Don Chase said the commission is "planning a salary increase, but we can't tell you at this time" how much. Bear River City "We always intended and pledged right from the start that the increased money would be used for that," Chase said. The increased money is some $730,000 in of taxes repayment-in-lie- u cently authorized by the federal government for counties with large amounts of By Dollie Iverson federal lands. Mr .i and Mrs..

Olsen said a new fiscal procedures act in the state has changed much of the procedure and county clerks have not received training in the new system yet. On another matter, Olsen recommended to commissioners that the county adopt a single account for all "general revenue accounts" rather than the five or six now used. Olsen said the move is recommended by the fiscal procedures act and would simplify matters. Olsen said the new system would have no affect of surplus funds which could still be invested by the county treasurer in banks offering the highest interest. Commissioners indicated it would probably be up to the countV treasurer whether the single account for general revenue would be rotated among county banks on an annual basis. No acount was taken on the recommendation Tuesday morning. Ii w Lx i mMMj: Ward. Mrs. Beta Gooch of Burley is visiting the Clair Anderson's.
