These Commissioners received oral and wfitten comments from over 2,000 Utahns who expressed their concerns about growth the night of July 9th.

These Task Forces were comprised of the various Commissioners and up to ten additional people added for balance and expertise to each of the groups; Growth, Natural Resources. Public Services and facilities Social Services and Health, and Education and Cultural Resources. Over the last four months these Task Forces have closely examined the major problems in each topic area and have developed draft reports and recommendations. These are being presented to Governor, the leaders of the Utah State Legislature, the Steering Committee, and the Commissioners at a luncheon in Salt Lake today. Copies of the attached Executive Summary and the full Task Force reports will be circulated statewide for the rest of December.

They site a recommendation for year round schools as an illustration of saving taxpayer dollars by changing the accustomed and familiar pattern of public schools in Utah. The Task Force on Growth examined policies for fairly allocating the costs and benefits or expansion. Additionally, these people explored the tools available to State and local governments for mananging growth. The group on Natural Resources looked at tradeoffs and conflicts between various uses of the resource base. In agriculture, in energy and mineral development. and in recreation, tourism, and wildlife protection. Their suggestions focused on mitigating conflicts and adverse impacts from these frequently competing uses. The Public Services and Facilities Task Force examined the- intrastructurc needs of the State in a period of rapid growth. Social Services and Health developed a comprehensive policy statement and strategy for the delivery of these vital services particularly in boom town situations. And finally the Task Force on Education and Cultural Resources wrestled with the problem of burgeoning school populations in an era of public assistance to increased government expenditures.

Weather Report By Jay T. Rogtri Representative! of the East Millard Hospital Care Foundation present check for $10,000 to Fillmore Hospital. From left to right are: Duane Baugh, EMHCF president, Randy Probst, Director of Nursing at Fillmore Hospital, Ken Day, vice president of EMHCF, and Kent Swallow, Secretary Treasurer of EMHCF. EMHCF Donates Funds Just recently, the East Millard Health Care Foundation (E.M.H.C.F.) was presented a check for $10,000 from the Dumke Foundation to be used to further the medical needs at the Fillmore Hospital. The Dumke Foundation is a family organization from Salt Lake City which realized the need and desire our community has to give the best available health care to our citizens. So, through the efforts of the Fillmore Hospital Administrator, Mr. Richard Packer, it was made possible for the f ast Millard Health Care Foundation to receive this sizeable donation from the Dumke Foundation. This contribution has already been put to good use, for the hospital has been able to order two new pieces of equipment for the OB unit: a modern, fetal monitor with all the features available today, and a special bed which makes it possible for a woman to go through labor and delivery without being moved. These two purchases, along with redecorating the labor room and making it more comfortable, w ill soon make the birthing process a much more safe and time for all involved. In worry-fre- e fact, this will probably make the Fillmore Hospital the only one in Southern Utah that can provide this much protection and help for the expectant mother. safe-guar- d Mr. Duane Baugh, president of the E.M.H.C.F., on behalf of the members of the Health Care Foundation and the Fillmore Hospital Staff, wishes to express his thanks and gratitude to the members of the Dumke Foundation for their generous contribution towards better health care to our area.
