The Herald apologizes lot the error. fa ft blasted; nomination derailed SALT LAKE CITY AP) The Salt Lake County Commission has rejected Salt Lake City's nomination of University of Utah President Arthur Smith for the Utah Transit Authority Board. Instead, the commission nominated Sen. Steve Rees, It is not clear which one will serve on the board. The county and UTA have been at odds for several months over the interpretation of a 1 995 law that UTA believes gives cities the right to appoint most UTA board members. The UTA and cities interpret the Jaw to mean cities and the county can appoint people to the board based on tteir respective populate! ' '"""'' In the past, the commissioners have appointed board members on behalf of the entire county. Following the UTA interpretation, the number of appointments by the - county commission drops from seven to one or two. When it appeared the matter was headed for court commissioners proposed compromise. The city would fill one of three available spots until the Legislature could clarify the issue. The city agreed. However, on Monday Commissioners Randy Horiuchi and Mary Smith's rejected Callaghan appointment. Deputy Mayor Brian Hatch said, "We had reached a common ground and we wish the county would have upheld their part of the bargain," Callaghan contends she did not go back on her word. Her understanding was that the city could suggest a name, but the commission still had final say. Siie said she did not vote for Smith because he represents a special interest. The UTA is considering a plan i to build a Light rail spur from the university to downtown and the airport. Commissioners believe there are other priorities, such as a route from Davis County or to the county's west side. Hatch said other university officials have served on the board without asy probata. Tite city selected Smith because 1 8 percent of bus rider ship is to the university. "We feel il can be higher. By increasing bus service to the university we will reduce neighborhood traffic. he said. Hatch considers Smith's appointment official with or without die county's endorsement The city will submit its recommendation to the UTA board. Horiuchi accused UTA management of retaliating against the commission for its opposition to light rail. By letting the cities make the appointments, UTA can obtain more favorable board members a charge UTA managers deny. -- State Air Quality Board will assist with search for new division chief By DONALD W. MEYERS The Daily Herald d Provo council to 24. IDM The state Air Quality Board will assist in winnowing down the list of candidates for director of the state Division of Air Quality, Dianne R. Nielson, executive director of the state Department of Environmental Quality, said the board will help her review more than .50 resumes the DEQ has received to date for the air director's post. The position became vacant in August when DAQ Director Rus- - sel A. Roberts resigned for what Nielson and other DEQ officials said were "personal reasons,' Nielson said the review will create a short list of applicants who will be asked to come to Salt Lake City for an interview. The board is the approving body for all air quality regulations and air pollution permits. There is no official timetable for hiring a replacement for Roberts, but Nielson said she wanted to fill the position as soon as possible," The DEQ is accepting resumes until the position is filled, Nielson said. The position has been advertised nationally, and applications are being received from within the state and around the country, Nielson said. The director's salary range is $56D62-$77,6I- Group hopes for change in cemetery ordinance By MYRNA TRAUNTVE1N Special to The Daily Herald NEPH1 A group of Nephi residents would like an ordinance .covering the placement of flowers at the Vine Bluff .and Nephi City cemeteries changed. The group thinks the rules are too strict and need to be relaxed. Ken Ingram and Iris Tolley, spokespersons for the group, said the rules governing artificial flowers are unreasonable, Tolley understands .the ruling concerning mowing the lawns, but said the flowers secured in urns should be left alone. 'There is no way the mower fiould pick up one of the flowers from the urns," said Ingram. Trolley said she and her mother had wired artificial flowers into the urns on a headstone. The next day they discovered the flowers had been cut from the iurn with wire cutters and taken from .the grave. "if the urns cannot be used, why buy them?" asked Ingram. He said there should be some exception made to the use .of artificial flow ers for grave decoration if the flowers were securely wired into the urns. J Another problem, said Ingram, is the ruling stating that only one headstone per grave could be allowed. The Utah Highw ay Patrol wants to honor all the fallen officers in the state, he said, and his son. Randy Ingram, qualified for the honor, but il' .the ordinance w as followed his son would not have the honor. Still another problem is the restroora provided for public use. "The door is left open and sometimes w as an affront to those who had graves nearby because of the condition and smell of the facility." Another complaint said Kathleen Broadhead, is the way the DEGREE: (Continued from Page Bl) new baccalaureate program is regarded by UVSC officials as somewhat of a victory for the college, there is still concern about the cap. which limits elementary education enrollment annually to a junior cohort of 30 students. With 400 students already enrolled in the pre --elementary education program, the reality is that the college does not have room to accommodate everyone. Transfers to other colleges can take care of some of the overflow. But others will likely have to chance to other majors. UVSC officials hope the regents will allow more students into the program once the probationary period is completed. They also plan to ask approval for more four-yedegrees in the future. UVSC President Kerry Romes-bur- g said any future increase iu the number of baccalaureate programs offered at UVSC will be based on industry and student demand. ar Orton hails funding Rep, Bill Orton has announced that the Department of Commerce will award Utah $131,318 to build or replace a number of radio and television translators in order to extend public broadcasting to rural locations. lawn mower operator bumps into head stones. The riding mower had chipped pieces from the stones which belong to her ancestors, she said. When her mother died the family paid quite a bjt of money for a headstone which met the requirements and for the urns. "Each summer the lawn mower person has broken off the lura, she said, "The driver needs to slow the mower down," said Ingram. 1 saw him hit a tree and the force almost threw him off." "There was a lot of abuse at the cemeteries before the ordinance was passed, said Nephi Mayor Robert Steele. If there were a way to make the ordinance more lenient .and still have control of the goings on, said Steele, he would favor a change. "The ordinance has to have some teeth," he said. Some left flowers on the graves for years, without making a change. Others, he said, were adding and adding to the structure until it created a problem. "We can make some allowances, like for your son. Randy, but I do nut want to see the ordinance covering headstones or markers changed. The UHP marker was a different case and could, perhaps, be added to the present headstone and still .be in compliance." Changes in the ordinance might also mean a rise in costs for perpetual care at the cemetery. The council will consider the problems addressed by the group and w ill make a decision as to w hat must be done. Ingram requested the council publish the results of their decision in the newspaper so all will know what the new ordinance contains, if changes are made. "You are playing with people's high emotions,' said Tolley. "Mom is so discouraged she won't visit the cemetery anymore. She spent $30 and went up the next day and the arrangement w as gone." BOND: ((Continued from Page Bl) cies. recently said that the bond would increase' the taxes for a $100,000 box by $36 a year. Senior citizens,fWright said, would be to come up with that additional money. To counter those criticisms, the committee is preparing a flier explaining the boud to be sent to all residents. The committee is also planning to print an additional 700 copies of its bioklet outlining the individual bond projects, as well as taking out newspaper advertisements. fr Washburn, refuting the critics, said the city 's certified tax rate has actually dropped since 3989 and residents pay oft of the lowest tax rates in the state.

While some of rem's growth is due to people loving in from the outside, couch of the population increase is homegrown. Washburn said Utah Valley is known for large, young families.
