The number is 20 to 25 percent more than were received last year. Persons with high energy bills are also referred to the home weatherization program. Tom Jensen, Stewart Jacobsen, and Terri Tunnell of the Bureau of Land Management met with the commission to discuss a wilderness study being conducted in the fice. Wentz also told the commissioners that Sevier County is trying to secure a juvenile detention center. $428,000 has been appropriated by the legislature to build the facility, to be located in Richfield. Counties using the facility will be asked to put up $142,000 each for construction costs. Sevier county has already put up $77,500 plus land preparation costs. The other counties will be area. Details of the project were published in last weeks edition of The Times-New- s. The BLM personnel also discussed the policy of fighting fires in the proposed wilderness areas. They wondered whether it was cheaper to fight the fires, or to let them burn out naturally and then reseed the areas. Verl Wilkey and Joe White asked for a conditional use permit for a warehouse facility located on 5.47 acres of land south of Nephi. Tom Fowkes, representing the planning and zoning commission, said the planning and zoning commission has no objection to the permit being granted, thinks that guidelines should be set up in regards to fencing the area and keeping it clean. The commission that decided they would grant the permit if White and Wilkey would agree to fence around put up an eight-foo- t and the building, keep the area motion but clean, upon by Commissioner Lomax, it was agreed to consult with Nephi City on the matter, inasmuch as the city is considering annexing the area within the next 60 days.

The plan preparers are especially in- terested in citizen ideas on the central business district, and on multiple dwellings in Nephi. Greenhalgh made it clear that the master plan wont automatically make changes. It will still be up to city officials to adopt and enforce the suggestions presented in the plan. However, officials have been waiting for the plans completion so that they would have definite guidelines to go by. Greenhalgh also said that everything probably wont be done immediately. He expects that it may be 1 5 or 20 years before Nephi matches the final map of how zoning should be. The plan is being prepared by Eugene Carr of AP Associates of Salt Lake City.

The plan is to build as much as possible with the city hall money, move into the unfinished station, sell the old fire house, and then ' finish the new station with those ' funds. There is also the possibility that the county could contribute some money toward the project, and the idea of housing the East Juab Ambulance Association at the expanded fire station is also being considered. The councilmen thought it would be wise to begin the project as soon as possible, to avoid paying a higher price for building materials, and instructed Chief Park to begin looking into suitable types of buildings and floor plans. Park says he wants to built the station big enough so the city wont have to worry about building another one for 20 to 25 years. general feeling by saying that Nephi couldnt afford not to participate. The actual cost of participating in the group cannot yet be projected, but Nephi will pay its proportionate share. Councilman Glenn Greenhalgh and Nephis electrical department supervisor, Richard Judd, who at- tended the Tri-Stat- meeting, e were pleased that the council voted to participate. It is hoped by the council that the group effort will be effective in combating the rate increase.

Maybe, maybe not 600 people Mayor clarifies Nephi Pack comment; will study issue At the Feb. 3 meeting of the Nephi City Council, Mayor Bob Steele clarified his previous statement that Nephi Packing Co. creates sewage equal to that of 600 people. In response to questions and complaints by citizens wondering whether the plant is paying its fair share for sewer service, Steele conceded that a review should be made of the rates being paid by Nephi industries for sewer, water, and electricity. It was explained, however, that the quoted figure is not exact, as the amount of sewage is not measured. It is only an estimate of how much sewage a plant the size of Nephi Packing Co. could Theyd be out of business. Even though the figures given at the previous meeting were not exact, the need for a new sewer, system in Nephi is still pressing.
