The Sports Authority Board on Tuesday approved a schedule that will result in the naming of host cities for a speed skating oval, a winter sports park with a bobsled-lug- e run and ski jump, and a facility for figure skating and ice hockey. After Salt Lake City was named the U.S. candidate to host the 1998 Winter Games, the Legislature approved the diversion of 132nd-cesales tax, or an estimated $56 million over 10 years, to build the three facilities along with a biath nt 4-- H ts lon and cross country ski center. At its meeting Tuesday, the sports authority, which will own the facilities, gave preliminary approval to "requests for proposals" for venues. Although all Utah municipalities and counties will be allowed to submit proposals by June 15, the sites already named during the Olympic bid process are considered frontrunners. However, officials say no decisions have been made. Factors that will be weighed include location, environmental issues, availability of community services, community acceptance, and proximity to the University of Utah, where athletes would be housed. Board members said land donations and financing could play a significant role. "We want to clearly say we can be bought," joked board member Jerry Atkin, chief executive officer of SkyWest Inc. The winter sports park is expected to be located in Summit County on one of two privately owned sites: Ecker Hill, five miles east of it the Salt County line on Interstate 80, or Quarry Mountain near Park City. Ogden was listed in the state's USOC bid presentation as the speed skating venue, but four other entities have since entered the bidding war for that event. A new downtown Jazz arena, for which private funding is being ne Lake-Summ- gotiated, has been a proposed site.' for the hockey and figure skating events. The authority board also is debat- ing how venue sites will be selected. Officials from the State Division of Facilities and Construction Man-- ': agement had proposed that a site ; selection committee screen recorri mendations to the board. However, that didn't sit well with board members. "The ultimate decision remains with the board," said chairman Ian Cumming. Board members said they wanted ' to review all of the candidates themselves, select three finalists for each venue, then take field trips to the sites and hear presentations ' from finalists.
