He noted that any time you talk about water in Utah, it's controversial. Morgan said he viewed the ground water network as a reservoir. The aquifers are in about sev en layers, with the top layer "fairly polluted." "Eventually we have to make a determination of how big that reservoir is. We are trying to ease the demand on that ground water reservoir," he said. "We looked at the demand and supply, and saw problems for this area. When the big wells kick in, we saw the af- wells." Morgan expressed concern about the proliferation of wells and fects on small septic tanks on five acre lots in Utah County. "There used to be zoning to 40 acres, now it's five acres. To get a building permit you need water rights, but there are problems.

Varela defended her boss' record in Hispanic appointments to state government, by citing appointments such as 3rd District Juvenile Court Judge Andrew Valdez and Rose who sits on the Utah Health Care Policy Option Commission. "These key appointments exemplify his commitment to that," Varela said. "But we all agree we ha- ven't communicated enough and there have been a lot of barriers to that we think we can break down. ' ' "Maybe I didn't understand how best to interact with this community," Leavitt said. "Maybe I didn't understand who the council was really supposed to be. " Varela and the governor also said a Nov. 2 1 story that appeared in 77ie Salt Lake Tribune reporting Leavitt had offered the office's directorship to Arthur B. Martinez was premature. , The story stunned the council after working for months to recommend three final applicants to the governor, which appeared to have been bypassed. "I don't blame you for being upset, because it had to be discussed with the council or the community, but it was our intention to do that," Leavitt said. "My intention has always been to find a way to make the council a productive unifying force... I think the council is a wonderful vehicle. "I want to have some discussion as to how I can best relate to you and how I and my office can be a productive force in allowing this com' munity to succeed, ' Leavitt edded . The governor admitted he does not fully understand how the Hispanic community works.

"I think it was nice. He really sat and listened to what we had to say. We felt there was a rea dialogue, which we felt there hand't been in the past." "I think he has a better under: standing of our community," Hiuy tado Armstrong said. The long-tim- e Republican activist said Leavitt has also agreed to look at the possibilities of taking the Hispanic Advisory Council out of the g, Department of Community and Ecomonic Development, where leaders say it receives little support from its director Joseph Jenkins.
