This same procedure was repeated for that weekend except that for SQT Da units from Beaver. Cedar City, and St. George also went to Camp Williams.

The bus is still required though because some of the troops either dont own POVs or can't afford to drive them on National Buard business. Seems someone from St. George complained because so many of the troops were taking their POVs to Camp Williams for SQT Day weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) leaving a small handful to ride the bus. So, for the Governors Day Parade, the edict came down from the higher ups that all" Guardsmen were to ride the buses.

And whats more their commanding officers let them get away with ignoring the order. Sure, they're paying for their own gas. not us taxpayers, but its still a waste of the countrys energy resources when transportation, however expensive. was available to them. But the taxpayers bill still has more to come! The National Guardsmen receive two days regular army pay, plus meals, for each day they work (I wonder who figured that one out?). So. each and every Guardsman who put in one day to go parade around for the Governor Saturday received tv, o days pay for doing it. Each new recruit, a Private E-- l, received $99, plus meals, for that day. A Staff Sergeant received $210, and I will leave it up to your imagination as to w hat the officers received. Guess who foots that bill too? "In an effort to eliminate waste, traud and abuse from the Department of Defense. Secretary Weinberger has established a new position, the Assistant to the Secretary (Review and Oversight) and has revitalized the Defense Hotline to receive confidential reports of possible waste, fraud, abuse or inefficiency. said a recent poster from Washington, D.C.

OKD must be left flexible, as impacts may I change in the future. He added, think we are being able to work this out. He said the alleviation agreements calls for paying to the County whatever we negotiate for, plus a 50 contingency fee. Roper told a reporter after Wednesdays meeting hes not sure what caused the change, but things are finally moving, and hes pleased. The board Wednesday approved plans to lease 7 acres in Delta to construct a temporary mobile home park to house some of the workers already coming. Carl D. Haase, project manager of community planning, said two permanent mobile by planned parks private developers wont be ready until about December 1, so the project must do something for the interim. Some 400 to 450 workers are expected to arrive by the end of 1981. He said the park will be constructed by Robert and James Pendray and paid for by the project, at a cost not to exceed $150,000. The project will pay for installation of water and sewer lines and electricity , and all utilties will be removed by next June, when the Pen-drawill need their land back to build a subdivision. The project will lease the land for an $8,000 initial payment and $1,500 per month. All lease proceeds will go to the West Millard County Recreational District, at the request of the Pendrays, Haase said. He said because the park will be temporary and wont be paved, it will carry some boom town stigma. But he said it will be located off Main Street to make it less visible. Road base aggregate will be laid to keep down the mud and dust. IPA has purchased 280 acres for its "man camp", on which they will build housing for the workers coming into the area. Stanworth said these facilities will be very nice attractive buildings and will be operated much like a motel with maid cleaning service, etc. He said they will be in use for approximately 10 years and at the end of that time the project will sell about 200 units, leaving them here, and take the rest of them, probably to another project. As a result of talks the board has had the past two weeks with officials in Millard and Juab Counties, the staff Wednesday presented a list of proposed policies for funding of community impacts. The board approved the list with some changes. It will be used by the project negotiating team in future impact talks with local officials. The policy list provides that IPA will determine the population increases and demographic distribution resulting from the project, after receiving information from government officials. e The estimated work force is expected to reach 435 workers by the end of the year. Plans call for 73 workers in September, 235 in October, 356 in November, and 435 in December. Estimates of the peak number of plant construction workers are 2,900. Permanent operation personnel is estmated at 700. Stanworth said 300-50- 0 people are projected for Fillmore. Reed Searle, IPA manager of legislative and public affairs, said that by making payments the project will actually determine, to a large extent, where the growth will occur, so it should have final say on the demographic statistics that will form, the basis for impact payments. on-sit- But he said if the projects projections are wrong and people move to by Sorry McWilliams eiGHfPMts? mssmu ttMfy'timibMavoes.M (oMCainisi G AND A Ueou m -l,- 00KSUK (5om emtij areas that havent been funded, the project will make payments to those areas once the growth has occurred. A major concern, he said, is that the project not pay for normal, non-IPrelated increases in services and facilities for people already living in the area. IPA intends to pay for all impacts attributable to the project, to the extent that other revenue sources are not available. But local and state entities must aggressively pursue grants, loans and other sources, and charge appropriate connection fees and service fees, Party Line Qmx, em uxiGmrj J.P. Doodles hit the nail right on the head this week. Due to an abundance of news and ads enough for only eight pages, we were forced to leave out The Party Line this week. Next week, space allowing, we will run two weeks worth of Party Line. he said. Because each community that will be affected now has a different level of government services and facilities, Searle said, the State Community Impact Board will develop standard levels for public facilities and services for rural counties, cities, town and special districts. Haase said much of the delay in negotiations to this point has been caused by disputes over proper service levels and over the projects population projections. To eliminate some of those arguments. he said, the project decided to let a neutral body, the Community Impact Board, determine standard levels of service. One provision of the state impact law that has caused much concern on the part of officials in Millard County has been the one requiring impacted entities that will. eventually tax the project to give the project tax credits at that time for the impact payments that have been made. The officials havent objected to that, but have balked at giving tax credits for interest on the money the project borrows to make the payments. Searle said the project is going to recommend a change in the law so the tax credits will apply one to the actual t amounts. impact-paymen- He said that change can be requested in the 1982 budget session of the Legislature. and he doesn't anticipate it will meet much opposition.

Advance space-permittin- g ald at 743-531- State schedules public meetings on land exchange proposal Six public meetings throughout the Stale are scheduled for late September and early October to discuss Project BOLD, tlhe State of Utahs land exchange proposal to identify federal lands for possible acquisition by the State and, conversely, to identify State lands for possible disposition to the federal government. Project BOLD was first initiated by Governor Scott M. Matheson to block up State lands into more logical management units. The six public meetings are from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. The nearest public meeting to the Millard County area will be held Wednesday, Sept. 30, 1981 in the Richfield County Commission Chambers. A packet of information that includes preliminary acquisition and disposition maps has been mailed to the offices of county clerks in each of Utahs 29 counties. These maps are available for public scrutiny. The preliminary acquisition map identifies fourteen areas: I . All BLM holdings in Rich County--- a site of potential oil and gas development. some surface uses, and wildlife value. Set a pattern for saving and checking at First Security 2.
