Randy Freston, county engi- neer and manager, and Pat Greenwood, county clerk and auditor, were both asked to recommend several proposals for the consideration of the county commission. Monday. Tracy Olsen, district financial officer and clerk, was asked to look at the map and redistribution of the population on one proposal. "This is just a proposal," said Ike Lunt, commission chairman. He said Tracy could report to the board on the plan Ellen and Etling Gray of Nephi left, cast their vote in the Nephi election Tuesday as election workers Arlene Griffiths, AnnDenise Robinson and Betty Paxman look on. To see how you voted check the graph below and then report back to the commission on the way the proposal was accepted. "If there are changes or recommendations, then bring them back to us." Freston said the plan was computer designed according to the number of people in iVlona each district. If the school board objected to the mapping, he said, the maps could be changed very easily. However, he said, the population in each area was close and changing any area could affect the plan. "It has a growth projection," he said. Population in the voting districts is provided by the county clerk from registered voting records. Under the proposal, Levan precinct would take in part of Nephi and would have 350 voters. Precinct 1 would have 517 voters, Precinct 2 would have 468 voters, Precinct 3 would have 495 voters, Precinct 4 would have 647 voters and Mona, which would also encompass part of Nephi, would have 447 voters. The board will look over the plan, said Olsen. The lines have been redrawn on each of the precincts, said Lunt. "Let us know what the board thinks," he said. and County law enforcement , By Myrna Trauntvein Times-New- Utah Solid EnviroChem By Myrp Trauntvein s Correspondent The Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste board turned down the attempt by the Citizens for Appropriate Hazardous Waste Placement to get the board to reconsider the three exemptions which had been granted EnviroChem. The company is proposing the construction of a fuels blending facility in the Nephi City Industrial Park in north -- Nephi. The board ruled last Friday that the 11 points cited by the citizen group were irrelevant or pertained more to challenges of the permit application than to the siting. The siting board has already granted the three exemptions. The citizen group had petitioned the board to review an August 12th decision. which would allow EnviroChem, Orem, the exemptions. EnviroChem is seeking a permit to build the facility and the permit is still being processed. "Their brief was not substantive," said Craig Pope, CEO of EnviroChem. "It didn't raise new issues. That's the only criteria the board would have used to reconsider." The state board waived three of 14 siting requirements which call for a plant to be built five miles from a populated area and be removed from surface or ground water. EnviroChem proposed to process used oil, industrial solvents, like paints, carburetor cleaners and paint thinners. The waste will be transported to the site by trucks where it will be mixed into a fuel to be burned in kilns. The fuel will then be shipped by rail to consumers. Citizens for Appropriate Waste Placement wanted the criteria reconsidered by the Utah Solid and Hazardous Waste Board. . oil-bas- ed ce-.me-nt MONA REPORTS i i 38.9 OF REGISTERED VOTERS VOTED IN ELECTION Mona Mayor Kevin Young did not misquote former mayor, Greg Newton, when he said the city said the was paying for law enforcement twice in their contract with the county sheriff s department. The town contracts with the county sheriff to provide law enforcement for the community. When Sheriff Carter recently gave a report to the town board he reminded the council the department had not been paid by the town. He was told, he said, the council did not think they needed to pay because the costs were being paid twice by the citizens of the town. It was reported, Young said, or and Hazardous Waste board turns down appeal on Times-New- Correspondent s Newton had told him the bill .did not need to be paid. Newton denied telling Young anything about the subject. However, town board member Darelene Fowkes said it is in the minutes of the town council for December 10, 1991. "Mayor Newton brought it to the attention of the attending council that law enforcement protection is being paid for twice by the citizens of Mona," read the minutes for the night. "Once through property tax, second through the $1,800 annual fee paid to the county for law enforcement." "County residents get their service free because the town of Mona pays the $1,800.

Trauntvein s Correspondent Eureka Mayor, Don Treloar, said the county should consider using a contract garbage hauler if they take over the business of managing the Nephi City landfill. Juab County Commissioners have been requested by Nephi City officials to take over the Nephi City landfill and haul all the garbage from households in Nephi, Levan and Mona to what would then be Times-New- the Juab County Landfill. Commissioners have discussed hiring a garbage contractor and hauling the garbage to an approved landfill, perhaps in Carbon County. "The rates for citizens may be more expensive if the county takes over the job," said Ike Lunt, commission chair-uiaIt may be less expensive for the county to hire a con- n. tractor.
