Show Page B2 THE DAILY HERALD, Prove. I'UH, Tacsday, April 23, 1H Local official opposed GOP convention sot for April 27 Utah County Republicans are preparing for their annual convention that is scheduled for April 27 at Provo High School. Nearly 1,400 delegates plan to attend the four hour meeting, selecting the party's candidates for one county commission seat and nine legislative races. Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt and Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett are slated to address convention-goers. Utah County Commissioner David Gardner, who is chairing the convention said, "This is exciting to watch our political process in action. "Convention delegates wield a tremendous amount of influence in the political process. Gardner added that the county convention is an example of grassroots politics at its most basic level. The convention is open to the public, but county Republicans say that given space constraints, they expect that only delegates with credentials will be allowed on the convention floor and in caucus meetings. Contest winners to be announced Each year thousands of Utah schoolchildren submit art work in the hope that their creative efforts will be chosen as the statewide Arbor Day poster.

Two hitchhikers steal vehicle Picking up hitchhikers can be costly, as two men found out when their red 1991 Pontiac Grand Am was stolen Monday afternoon by the two women to whom they had given a ride. The men had picked up the women in south Orem and went to a nearby McDonald's, said Lt. Karl Hirst. When the men went inside the building, the suspects drove away with the car. Hirst said. Names and ages of the suspects and the v ictims were unavailable.

Cora Cora Harmer Ellis. 80, passed sway ing the portions which extend outside the project boundary) to $23,971.49 in 1994. lt should be clear that this value is the amount of tax collected, which is significantly less than the taxable amount because of the current grecnbelt exemption. Grover said that to place this land in a preserve in perpetuity w ill clearly deny Utah County significant future property tax revenues as the result of residential or Jerry D. Grover sent a letter to the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission criticizing statements made by the draft environmental assessment of agricultural development that no action the proposed project and the would occur under the alternative.

G rov er IK IldS lU problems said posal might be more nalatebie.' IMJill Jerry Grover with the proposal: His opposition to any more expansion of lands under federal control in Utah County. "Every acre purchased means an increase in current and future taxes to local taxpayers," he said. He says it is clear under the proposal that adjacent landowners will suffer because current drainage systems will be limited or rendered inoperative by the proposal. As a result, adjacent landowners may be flooded, he said. "We are already having flooding problems in the Benjamin Slough area as it is. Any disruption of drainage systems will only compound the problem." Grover wrote in his letter. "It seems to me that there are plenty of existing federal lands which could be dedicated to mitigation. More federal ownership of Utah County is not in the interests of the citizens of the county, he said. "A federally funded, proposal might be more state-operat- palatable." Grover listed other proposals which he found troubling: The statement is made in the draft E1S that 'prcperty taxes on acquired lands would be replaced by payments in lieu of tax (PILT). which would be made by the BLM in accordance with the PILT formula. "This statement is absolutely erroneous. Utah County, under the current PILT formula, has leached or is close to reaching the maximum PILT payment. Additional acquisition of private lands by federal entities will not necessarily result in an increase in PILT payments." Grover wrote. "To say that PILT payments would replace property taxes is an interesting but ludicrous proposition." Another statement does not accurately reflect the property tax value of the lands within the preserve. It states that "property taxes for all private land parcels occurring entirely, or partially, within the project area amounted ( includ- - well-bein- of g Utah County. A urtuM nrisrv do little. All current proposals, other than the no action alternative, will be in violation of the Central Utah Project Completion Act which specifies that traditional agricultural practices on adjacent properties shall not be restricted. One alternative specifies that additional water rights may be acquired to restore hydrologic conditions. It also specifies that wetlands restoration could involve filling drainage ditches and reversing othmodifications er originally designed to accelerate drainage. Grover said the nature of g areas hydrology in these is such that any failure to drain downgradient or gradient neutral low-lyin- adjacent lands will initiate flooding on upgradient lands and gradient neutral adjacent lands, seriously affecting the ability of anyone to make use of their land for agriculture or any other purpose. Another statement claims that noxious weeds on preserve lands would be controlled to meet legal requirements. Grover said there have been similar promises from federal land management agencies, but the worst problems regarding noxious weeds have occurred under federal management of federal lands. Grover also noted that: Periodic dredging is required in the Benjamin Slough area to maintain viable agriculture in upgradient and adjacent lands. Utah County and various county-sponsore- d drainage districts have made sizable improvements in the area and are currently responsible to maintain these systems. Any purchase of property by the federal government should be at double the market price. The county will undoubtedly lose rights of jurisdiction over areas under federal control. The county is simply opposed to any further relinquishment of jurisdiction in this county to the federal government. Grover asked that a representative of the project come to a County Commission meeting to discuss the proposal. Sewer hookup funding is still available in Mapleton By LAUREL BRADY Special to The Daily Herald The Mapleton City Council will continue to accept applications from citizens who want to be considered for financial assistance with their sewer hookups. Although the application period expired several months ago. the city has received an additional S40.000 in Community Development Block Grant funds that can be dispersed to those meeting income guidelines. "This is good, because people's circumstances change," planner Karen McCandless told the council. But she noted reopening the application process will increase the administrative costs of the program and require a new environmental release be submitted. However. Councilwoman Rea Bleggi volunteered to assist w ith processing the paprwork. Questions about the assistance program should be directed to the city offices. 489-565In other business, residents on 800 West south of 1600 South 5. asked the council to consider pav ing the entire length of the road rather than just sections as planned. Since the cost will be less if the whole street is done at once when sewer construction is finished, residents had hoped to take advantage of the savings. But city officials said the city cannot pay to asphalt those sections of the street that developers are not paying for. Several residents contacted previously said they would be willing to support a special improvement district so city officials will pursue that possibility. Councilwoman Charlce Hanna said that when the sewer is installed, homeowners w ill receive utility bills monthly, rather than quarterly as they do now. The quarterly bills have been necessary since it takes one person three weeks to read the meters and prepare the bills. However. Hanna said, the city will soon install new "radio-read- " meters, which can be read in one ujy. The new meters will significantly shrink manpower costs, making monthly billing possible, and Hanna said the changeover can be accomplished without any additional costs to taxpayers. June Christiansen told the council recent sewer installation problems caused flood damage to her farm property near Maggie's Bend. She said the farm still has standing w ater and damaged ditches and culverts, and some of the ground will not be useable for the current growing year. Christiansen was told the city is negotiating with the subcontractor to resolve the problems occurring when unexpected water was encountered in that area. "There is no basis for a claim against the city." Mayor Richard Maxfield told Christiansen. He explained the city is requiring the company to restore the ditches, and is working through the and city attorney to resolve the problems related to the water situation. r In Sunday, April 21, 1996. at her home in Mapleton, where she was bom. with her family around her.
