He said the same problem exists in the Strawberry area now that the U.S. Forest Service has banned cattle grazing. He said grazing should be allowed to eliminate the growth. "That's an excellent suggestion," May responded. Gary Cornell, who is also on the state mitigation team, said the team plans to meet with the Oak Haven Homeowners Association Wednesday night and to tell them no firefighters will be sent into their canyon under present conditions. He said they will be told what must be done before firefighters will be allowed into the area. He said assessments of all the developments and private property in the mountain areas had begun before the recent wildfire. He said it was unfortunate the fire occured before the project had been completed and recommendations could be put into effect said exit signs along mountain roads direct people along escape routes when they become disoriented in a wildfire, including firefight- - Another wildfire hazard that is unacceptable is to have only one road Into mountain subdivisions, said May. He said "safety parks" that are clear of trees and brush, provide protection, but can also be used for recreation, like volleyball and horseshoes. Fire walls separating propane and butane tanks from buildings, brush and trees would protect firefighters as well as structures, May pointed out. Commissioner Pete Coleman said the county has tried to insist on two access roads into all mountain developments. However, he said Wasatch Mt.

A letter was sent to the town board by an attorney, L. Douglas Monson, who wrote in behalf of Maurice Jones. Monson wrote he and his client on a tour of Mona taken on Juy 13 compiled a list of 26 locations where there was as much need for a cleanup as there is on Jones' property at the south end of Mona's main street. Jones does not consent, said Monson, to a suggestion Clarence Phillipsen, owner of Nephi Auto Wrecking, clear Jones' property. If the town proceeds with such action, county will be specifically in litigation, wrote it will Monson. Monson included a copy of a letter sent to Phillipsen telling him should the town pursue their intent to have him clear the property, Jones will have no choice but to involve both the town and Phillipsen in litigation. Attorney Don Eyre Jr., representing Mona, responded to the Monson letter by informing him that six other Mona residents besides Jones have received abatement orders.

May said the state mitigation team identifies lead agencies re- ad- dressed. Professionals from eleven state agencies are on the mitigation team that has been evaluating the hazards and making recommendations. May asked Kent Berg, public works director, to organize a local hazard mitigation team to work with the state team to create a county mitigation plan. The state team develops analysis "trees", that chart the potential progress of an emergency from its beginning as a primary threat to the ultimate disaster that can re- sponsible for following through on from its recommendations, associations to government agencies, as well as setting time limits for completing the changes. Coleman said the team should tell Dee Hansen, director of the Dept. of Natural Resources, that a second road should be allowed in Oak Haven and direct him to "tell the state park, 'this is the way it's going to be." May agreed and said if Hansen doesn't respond, the team might have to go over his head.
