Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, JULY 31. 1980 5 Commission Refrains From Decision On Public Defender System Go. By MARK D. MICKELSEN FARMINGTON -- r The Davis County Commissioners refrained from making any decision Tuesday on a revised public defender system because of the increased cost of the project and some question over an existing contract with Attorney Loren Martin. ATTY. MARTIN, the countys current public defender, approached the commission with two alternatives. He says his caseload is too heavy and offered the group a choice between splitting the county in half and having two attorneys, or adding additional funds to the existing program for another lawyer who could offset the workload. I dont recommend we establish a legal defenders I office, he said, because cannot personally be responsible for anyone else. Atty Martin claims that if the commission decidees on option two, there is a good chance that the lowest bidder for the job would get it. wai CHEERLEADERS SCORE SUPEBIOR The Layton High School Cheerleaders for the 1980-8- 1 school year recently participated in the USA Cheer Camp at Utah State.

The prospect of a attorney would mean a lot of people might feel badly about the office and complain about the service, according to Atty. Martin. BUT, HE SAID, "I dont have enough time to handle it all anymore. We have had to appoint outside people to help with the cases and most of the ones helping dont want to be bothered anymore. The stress is more than physical, he said. "1 find myself psychologically out of gas. You just cant keep so much in your mind. HE COMPARED the Davis and Weber County programs, telling the commission that in Weber County an attorney is paid $80,000, "and he agrees But Atty. to do all the cases. Martin felt that such a system would not work in this area, and placed specific interest on the idea to split the county. According to Atty. Martin, two local attorneys have informed him of their interest in the job, but only under certain conditions. And not everyone can handle the position, he said, placing emphasis on the present workload. THE BIGGEST advantage besides lowering the amount of cases per attorney is that two men could divide the work by location, Atty. Martin said. If there is a shift in cases, we could arrange the cases accordingly by coverage area. The current caseload requires him to travel all over Davis County. He mentioned to the commission that he had to travel from Layton back to Farmington, all in an hour's time. EVEN AFTER hearing Atty. Martins arguments against clinic for all the second option, the commissioners leaned toward the two-part- y legal defender's office. Comm. Flint urged the commission to table the issue for the time being, emphasizing a need to meet with the county attorney, Rodney Page. When the meeting was about over. Comm. Flint called Atty. Page in for information on another issue and Atty. Page voiced his disapprove-men- t about the Martin suggestions. HE (MARTIN) agreed to take the job a year, Atty. Page told the group. For better or worse," Comm. Flint added. Commissioners Morris Swapp and Ernest Eberhard agreed with the two that Atty. Martin committed himself to He agreed to the position. take everything," Atty. Page said. It aggravates me," Atty. Page told the men, "that Atty. Martin talks to the commission without me, Atty. Page claiming that the defense lawyer rarely invites him to the commission meetings. IN HIS initial proposal to the commissioners, Atty. Martin stressed that if they wait until the end of the year to start a new program, the cost will certainly go up. Atty. Martin wants to start now and offset his own workload wjth some additional help. But the commissioners, led by Chairman Flint, refused to take any action until as Comm. Flint put it, "all avenues have been checked out. junior high cheerleading squads on Wednesday, August IN HIS final plea to the commission to get them to adopt a split county program, Atty. Martin said, "I do everything I can, but I dont know that you can get that commitment from He also told them everyone. 13.
