We have decided on a format, lasting environmental and economic benefits for all Americans, Dombeck said. Last year, the Department of the Interior released an environ- mental impact statement (EIS) on the proposed regulations. The EIS found that over the next 20 years the changes will restore to health 100,000 acres of important streamside habitat; bring 20 million acres of upland habitat n into properly functioning tion; and, improve watershed conditions by reducing erosion and increasing water quality, op- fiBOUT S&ML-BIS-II to solicit comments from Gover- nors, ranchers, conservationists, hunters and others concerned about grazing administration on public lands.

Even if another person offered to pay an additional fee to counter such a proposal, it would not help, said Mayor Young, because even with additional money the town cannot necessar- ily procure additional water.

The second question was whether or not the town would approve a building permit if a share ofwater was donated to the town to insure availability of enough culinary water to serve the home. 1 , 1 Mona is currently using the legal service of Attorney Milt Harmon when advice is required. According to Clerk, Nila Keyte, the town of Mona issued 19 building permits during the year of 1994. This does not include one permit reinstated from the previous year nor the construction of a place of business. A review of building permit requests in recent years was as follows: Seven permits were issued in 1993; eight permits in 1992; two permits in 1991; one permit in 1990; zero permits in 1989; and one permit in 1988. Animal Control Officer, Betty Hooley, reported that during her first month on the job she picked up 11 dogs and had 7 of those destroyed. She also issued 4 warnings and collected a $25 and a $5 fee. Hooley said she still required additional equipment, especially a loop extension to catch dogs which would not allow her to approach closely. The Council said they would continue to try to acquire the things she has requested. planning and Zoning Chair, Travis Pay, announced that the 427-333- (801)462-269- 8 797-112- 9.

They also move away from the one size fits all regulations by giving local citizens an opportunity to participate in decisions affect' ing public land management. to The public lands belong all of us, Dombeck said. They are as important to the rancher as they are to the hunter, the fisher or birder. But the lands are in jeopardy. They produce less water, less forage for livestock and less wildlife habitat than they have in the past.

The Council tabled the questions in order to study the ramifications of approving such a request. The concern of the Council was that approval of such a request would set a precedent and open the door to other requests while a moratorium is Center, Fairview W.
