UTA had asked for a special meeting in February since the scheduled meeting was cancelled due to a conflict with the annual meeting of the Utah Association of Counties. Commis council sioner Moss said there "wasnt too much interest among WFRC members in calling a special meeting to discuss the matter. According to Mr. Jeffries, federal mass transit officials wont do anything contrary to the wishes of local governments. RECENTLY Salt Lake County COG asked for additional seats on the WFRC. Mr, Jeffries said that the UTA issue could be the force behind this suggestion. Salt Lake County COG was divided in their vote on the transit demonstration issue. COG the However representation could not be changed without approval s from the committee, and the WFRC COGs county itself. WFRC membership has changed from 12 to 16 to 18 since the council was first formed under the direction of Governor Calvin Rampton. AT THE present time Salt Lake County has the same number of votes as Davis and Weber counties combined. Commissioner Moss said the request for reconsideration of the vote is on the WFRC agenda. He personally has not received any pressure from UTA officials to change his vote, he said. Kaysvilie Clubs Mrs. Beth Tall hosted the members of the ALonas Club at her home Tuesday afternoon.
