TYovo, Utah, Friday, October 13, 1995 County to take over local DMV operations By JOSEPHiNE ZIMMERMAN The Daily Herald Utah County will take over operation of the Provo office of the Utah Department of Motor Vehicles under a newly approved agreement. Claude Assessor County Richards told commissioners that other counties along the Wasatch Front had followed a similar course. He said the county will be "cutting it close" financially, but he believes it can operate wrtliout a loss. For several years Utah County has worked cooperatively with the state in operating an office where a vehicle owner may pay taxes on their vehicle and relicense it. Richards said the move should result in a savings for the taxpayer ET In other action, the commission awarded the bid for sale of the Lindon Center to Burbidge BrothInc. ers for Properties five The $551,010.95. buildings are located north of Geneva Steel and were declared surplus by the county. Two individuals have been appointed to the Utah County Clean Air Commission. They are Wynn Everett, representing Mapleton, and Kenneth because it will result in a net loss of four part-tim- e state employees. He noted that vehicle transactions are increasing at the rate of about 6-- 7 percent a year, and he believes the county can give better service all around. Richards said the county has been receiving poor computer data from the state which must be corrected by his office each year. "We want to rewrite the computer program. We will maintain our own data and we will have control." He further explained that his office did not try to do the mail program and the regular program for license renewal at the same time. The contract with the state can be terminated by either party on 90 days notice. representing Hodgkinson, Springville. Both cities are in the PM-1- 0 nonattainment area. The commission approved a supplemental project agreement with the Uinta National Forest. The project allows for ongoing maintenance after reconstruction of the Diamond Fork road after a Gateiibsu pipeline is installed. County Engineer Clyde Nayloi said the construction work will destroy the road, but it will be rebuilt as part of the Central Utah 96-in- ch Project.

However, he shunned the role of ethics expert. "I want to avoid any notion that this is a lecture on ethics," he said. While he called himself primarily an entertainer, Redford did acknowledge his role as a social observer and critic, particularly in the making of the Oscar Award winning movie Quiz Show. "The chief leading agent that guides w hat I do is that it has got to have a good story, good characters and some conflict." he said. Quiz Show, whkh depicts a 1960s television scandal that rvK.kcd the nation, is not about ethics, Redford said. "That's up to the viewer to think and talk about." he told the capacity crowd. The movie shows how Charles Van Dorcn. a professor at Columbia University in New York, betrayed the television viewing public's trust by cheating on a j;lme show. fl A dogged federal investigator Uncovered the scandal, which was eventually investigated by Congress.

Redford produced and directed the movie, which won critical acclaim for its treatment of the scandal but was not a huge box office hit.

Redford first saw television through a department store window with his parents. "It was a miracle." he said. "We stood there like idiots looking through the glass and thinking. 'Isn't this great?'

"But art is like the grass that grows up in cracks through the concrete. It will always find a way out." Redford told the group he doesn't really like going to movies at the theater. "I have other things I'd rather do with my free time," he said. He has also served as an assistant to the Council of the Twelve Aposties, as president of the East Sheriff's Department, has filed charges against Tim Green, 48, in connection with the fire which damaged more than l ,700 acres of wildland in a remote area near Eureka.

Biggs also stressed effective welfare reform legislation adopted by the state must support working women. "Child care and medical benefits across the board are necessary. If we can do that, whether it is for one or three years, we can make a difference. We could enable them to get out of poverty. We've got to support them in that transitional period, or they will return to the welfare system. We w ill just recycle the problem."
