"There's no doubt that PhotoCop has been a big success in reducing speeding and saving lives in West Valley City the past year," said Police Chief Dennis Nordfelt. He admitted that PhotoCop has been somewhat controversial with some motorists especially those who have been caught but the stationary unit, with a similarity to a real police vehicle, has been successful in what it was designed to do. "The purpose of PhotoCop has been to reduce speed and restrict the number of accidents, and PhotoCop has accomplished this," the chief emphasized. He backed this with a year-lon- g report that indicates that the overall speed among motorists driving through West Valley City, especially in school zones, has been substantially Magna year reduced.

County and officials of the Mountain Meadows Park City Developers proposed residential project in Snyderyille Basin north of Park City have filed a legal notice of claim against Summit County and its elected and appointed officials alleging their project has been unduly delayed and devalued, claiming more than $52 million in damages. The county has 90 days to respond to the action before it becomes a formal lawsuit, attorney for the plaintiffs, Allan Metos, who has development interests in Mountain Meadows, wrote in the notice that County Commissioner Gene Moser and Development Director Bruce Parker had "conspired through rezonings, moratoriums and insipid delays of claimants' Class II permit application to drive the value of Mountain Meadows development down in order to acquire the development at an artificially low price. Further, Metos alleged Moser has "stone walled" all attempted purchase negotiations and has instructed Planner Bruce Parker not to have any negotiations with claimants. The Park Record Busy rest area It isn't . . . just any old rest area, it's also the Utah Brigham. City welcome center for travelers driving south on Interstate 15 or 84. The Corinne rest area, located north of Brigham City, is known as the busiest rest area in the state. Kleon Kerr, manager, said in July of this year, one of the busiest months for travelers, some 30,000 people used the welcome center services. And the single busiest day was a Sunday in July when 2,001 people walked through the door. The center offers travelers brochures, maps, information, and even a film, all free of charge to anyone interested in Utah attractions. Leone Smith, a worker at the center, said the Canyonlands area is a popular area tourists request information about. The area includes Arches, Bryce Canyon, Zion and Canyonlands National Parks.

Mr. Anderson traveled from Salt Lake City to the award ceremony at the Moab Fire Station on Saturday, October 24, 1992. He praised the efforts of Fire department volunteers who provide the community with fire prevention education. The grant money is for public address equipment for the fire prevention program. More than 30 organizations applied for grants and Moab Volunteer Fire Department's was one of the few selected. Fire Chief Corky Brewer credits the success of the program to the dedicated efforts of local fire fighters.

The Utah Safety Council is a non- profit organization which is an off shoot of the National Safety Council. They support a wide variety of public safety and accident prevention activities. Instead of having their own agenda they contribute to existing programs that address the needs of a community. Mr. Anderson commented that t Moab Volunteer Fire Department's grant request caught his eye immediately. He was very impressed by the local fire prevention program and said that the Utah Safety Council was pleased to have the opportunity to support it Chief Brewer notes that "This grant is much needed. Our operating expenses are going up which makes Fire Prevention Education harder to fund.
