Uniform fees would include any uniform purchased by a school and worn by a participant of a particular activity. All fees would automatically go back into that activity fund for future uniform needs. District officials asked principals to submit lists of possible fee changes for next school year on the senior and junior high levels. Increasing fees is a way to help subsidize activities and programs at schools that become increasingly harder to do as funds decrease and costs continue to rise. Studentbody or activity fees at Carbon High and East Carbon High for the 1994-9- 5 school year were suggested to increase to $37, up from $30 a $15 uniform fee for junior for the current year. Book County area has tripled in the past year, said the local Utah Department of Corrections Adult Probation and Parole director. With a trend to put lower-ris- k parolees or criminals on probation to free up prison beds, the need has arisen to put more corrections officers in the field to monitor the booming population, said Don Blackburn in a recent interview. He said he believes the parole and probation population increase is due to sentencing practices and legal mandates of the justice system to try to keep prison populations down. And the trend does not show any sign of slowing down in the near future. Actually, the projections are pretty scary," he said. The number is projected to triple again by 1996," Blackburn said.

The cost of cheerleading uniforms was also listed to go up from $300 to $450 for next year at CHS. Both high schools indicated that there should be no fees assessed to play or participate in activities. Carbon posed the question of which activity should pay athletics, band, choir, debate, drill team, etc. CHS also pointed out on its list that paying to play discriminates against those who pay because all will not pay. However, board member Shirley Guyman said that in her opinion, the fees should be consistent. Charge for all uniforms (paid for by schools) or charge for none, Guymon stated.

The county opted for a hybrid plan of option B and C, which were presented at a public hearing April 6 along with option A. While both B and C called for automated pickup within unincorporated areas of Carbon County, the second option proposed a choice of haulers and option C left the choice of haulers up to the county on a competitive basis. Resulting from input at the meetings with both prospective commercial haulers, a hybrid plan was developed that was satisfactory to both parties. If the commission awards the contract to City Sanitation, the company will provide automated garbage collection service to unincorporated county areas pursuant to the price structure outlined in its written proposal. The com- pany will allow M&P Enterprises to continue to service its contracts already in place within the county.
