"We're going to contact commercial people, organize a separate corporation in which we hopefully wish they will donate in order to use these monies to attract clean industry into Davis County." THE EFFECTS of inflation and the economy upon county business is another main area both Mr. Gerlach and Saunders hope to work on in the coming years. "It s going to take a lot of courage from all the commissioners to meet that head on, Mr. Gerlach said. He added that he'll personally meet the public as much as possible to make them aware, "totally, of "what were doing here." press, it should have been sent out directly to the mayors. A LOT OF the mayors didn't have one until they personally came and picked it up, Gerlach said. Com. Saunders said the Council of Government (COG) meetings have been beneficial to this cause, but complained that one meeting alone is not enough to keep city officials aware of what is going on. BUT, HE added, We dont want to give the impression that were going to go in and handle the responsibilities of the cities. There has been some idea in the past, he said, that the coun- - THOUGH ECHOING promise to meet the public, Com. Saunders said I think sometimes the public gets the impression that once theyve made their feelings publicly known they feel the commission has got to respond in that direction. Theres pros and cons to every matter, he said, admonishing the residents to understand that some of the county s decisions may not always be popular ones. Ger-lach- 's MR.

Harry Gerlach agreed with Mr. Saunders on increased flood control planning and industrial development, but initiated some ideas of his ow n Tuesday about how county government should be operated. ID LIKE to see more communication between the county and the mayors of the cities, Com. Gerlach said, adding that he wants city officials to know what the county is doing at all times. ONE OF the things I'd like to see implemented," he said, "is that we project ourselves into the far furture, in anti COMM.

He said based on this, when and if it comes about, we will lower the mill levy to THE DAMS Count Commission Tuesday promised Dennis Draper, whose house sits on a piece of land the county wants to use to enlarge the road, that theyll construct a new house for him and pay $50,000 of the total cost.

IF THE time comes, because of inflation or a lack of county growth," Mr. Gerlach said the day may arrive when the county has to limit services or cut some services out. There has been a request made of department heads, Com. Saunders explained, "that there be no new hiring during the year, other than replacement. THE DEPARTMENT supervisors have also been asked by the new commission to spread their purchases out over a years time. I think that if a good solid look is taken at county operations, we will find certain places where we are possibly overstaffed," Com. Saunders said. I cant help but feel that we can be maybe a little more efficient.

Two of the bids submitted Tuesday came very close to that estimate. There was some question from Com. Glen Saunders as to who would be responsible forgetting rid of the old house. I guess we just bulldoze it down, Com. Eberhard told him.
