The commissioners were assembled for their meeting. regular At an earlier meeting, the commission voted to contract with the firm managing the county Two officers of the twice-monthl- y hospital, Health Advanced Systems, for ambulance service. AHS then met with the volunteer ambulance association and the emergency medical technicians apparently agreed to work with the hospital managers. But Terrence Parkin, president of the ambulance group, and Chris Neilsen said Monday that dissent had surfaced on the matter. Parkin said some of the group were angry that the county did not contract with Trans-MeInc., a firm based in Utah County. d Trans-Med- s owner, Doug Staheli, has met several times with the commission. Among his proposals was a promise to purchase a completely new ambulance for the technicians to use. Parkin said it was his impression that the dissenting members would resign rather than work with AHS. Its their way. or none, is that the idea? asked Commissioner Max Williams. The association includes 11 members, three of whom have yet to complete emergency training. Neilsen said 25 members would be an optimum number of members to handle the current average of 1.8 runs per day. Commissioner Joseph Bernini, who took the oath of office at the beginning of Mondays session, noted that the key to any organization is dedicated people. If you dont have them, it wont work. Bernini, who has had emergency experience, will fill the ;ommission slot left vacant when former Commissioner Ted Johnson moved to Colorado. And County Attorney Donald Eyre said he had yet to find a law stating that the county, or cities within the county, were under obligation to arrange for emergency medical service. Theres nothing in there that says the counties are obligated to provide ambulance service, he said. Before the association officers arrived, AHSs Bill Rosqvist came to the meeting with a proposed amendment to the firms hospital management contract which would have made the ambulance agreement official. Advised that there were problems with some of the EMTs, Rosqvist promised to do all he could to get the thing worked out so we can get everybody satisfied. Near the end of the discussion with the officers, it was suggested that a meeting be arranged between the commission and all members of the ambulance tober association to seek a solution to the apparent impasse. However, Commission Chairman Roscoe Garrett said he felt "the elected president and other officers should be speaking to us" after the group grappled with the problem in private. Parkin said he would go back to the association members and then advise the commission of the outcome. In other matters: Don Christensen of the state Division of Wildlife and Mike Quealy of the Attorney Generals office met with the commission to protest imposition of a tax rollback on 1,080 acres of land northeast of Levan the division purchased from Angus Ingram.

But, the law states that when agricultural land is sold to a as County user Assessor Tom Fowkes describes the division the county has the right to bill the new owner for taxes it would have received had the land been appraised at fair market value.
