Weber County is asking Utah park officials to contin- . Stake President Lloyd Larsen and from Edna executive director for the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center Foundation Inc. "It is fair, and we can live with it," Larsen said. "Indeed, we recommended in testimony before Congress that we wanted guaranteed public access and to keep the money from sale Ken-nel- l, proceeds in Wyoming." Opponents of the sale disagreed. "This is obvious waffling on Cubin's part," said Sierra Liz Club spokeswoman Howell, referring to Cubin's decisions to offer an amend- ment, then to vote against the final bill. "No one will ever know how she really feels about selling Martin's Cove to the Mormons." The changes really, don't advance the cause of keeping public lands in public hands, she said. John Jolley, editor of Grassroots Advocate, was also critical of Cubin. "This is nothing short of a political conspiracy between her and Hansen. If this were in a court of law, she and Hansen would be convicted of a conspiracy, but in the West, it is politics usual form," Jolley said. Jolley said he is hopeful that the U.S. Senate will stop the sale. Larsen said he wants to see the legislation passed in the House before vigorously pursuing passage in the Senate. 0 ue supporting Fort Buenaventura State Park transithrough a three-yea- r tion while it takes over manan agement of the park alternative to the state closing the park to help meet budget cuts. The county asked the state for $60,000 the first year, $40,000 the second and $20,000 the third. Nelson Had told lawmakers on Tuesday that the department could handle transition costs, but on Wednesday he told the Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Interim Committee, "We won't be able to meet the financial request they've asked for. "We will deal with (Weber County) and hopefully find a way to make a concession on this," he said. He suggested Salt Lake City might also not get the full transitional funding it requested for taking over Jordan River State Park. "In both of these cases there is the specter that we aren't going to reach an agreement and that on July 1, two state parks will close." Nelson originally offered the county $5,000 for its first and second years managing the park. The county, in a letter of intent to take over management, proposed the higher figures to the state several days ago. ' Lawmakers have been supportive of a plan to transfer management of the Ogden-are- a historic site as well as others to other local governments. Parks officials placed the parks on the chopping block earlier this year when the Legislature cut the parks by department budget $500,000. But last month, upset by the closure plan, lawmakers asked state parks officials to look at other options. Nelson said that even with instituting changes endorsed by lawmakers on the Natural Resources Committee including charging senior citizens for park use and raising fees at boating the state would still parks not be able to eke out the amount that Weber County asked for without sacrificing from somewhere else. The issue was brought up Wednesday by Rep. Glenn A. Donnelson, Ogden, who said he had heard that the state was resistant to paying out the full amount asked for. Donnelson said after the meeting that Weber County was led to believe that the funding would be there until the state apparently changed its tune Tuesday evening.
