MIC KFl.SEN FARMINGTON -I- n a precedent setting decision Tuesday, the Davis County Commission refused to set aside additional matching money for five county organizations. federally-sponsore- Come warm weather, motorcyclists often take to the hills in pursuit of new vistas. That mightve been fine at one time but traffic is now eroding many areas and except for a few specific locations, cyclists could be fined. HILLSIDES DAMAGED $299 fine, the officer notes. By TOM BUSSELBERG There just isnt room on the mountainsides to give every motorcyclist a chance to perfect his skills. MANY ARE trying it, however, to the detriment of the natural habitat of vegetation and wildlife feeding areas, says Wildlife Resource Officer Allen Hash, who claims motorcycles can cause damage to the point vegetation wont grow back. That can lead, eventually, to such erosion that mudslides develop, similar to those occuring recently in Weber County, causing flooding, such as hit the county heavily nearly 60 years ago. That has more than a few residents worried. pos-sibi- ly THE LAW is on their side, however, with state law proon hibiting motorcycle-ridine paths such as exist g Costs of up to $2,000 were required to reseed the area around the V and a local judge is assessing violators not only with a fine but for a portion of that replacement cost. Theyre worried about a big washout. Davis County has had a long history of floods in the south end, Mr. Hash says. IN FACT, the only areas unofficially designated for motorcycles are the south side of Mueller Park on the North Canyon Trail in Bountiful around the B and the loop road from Ward Canyon to Farmington Canyon, he explains. And although houses are built adjacent to the U.S. Forest Service property in Centerville, that land owned by the federal government is off limits for motorcycle Orchards subdivision or the V area above Centerville. Citations could result in up to a Clinton made during the summer months they may retard vegetation growth due to dry conditions. And when the trail is used continually, those ruts may remain and great erosion result, he warns. News Roger and Janean Muller and three sons. Cory, Matt and Andy, traveled to Iowa by Am Track to visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Muller, for a two week vacation. His parents reside in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Roger is the of Bill and Marjorie Sparkes of Clinton. AND WHILE the problem is less acute with horses there still may be problems if they are continually ridden over such trails, Mr. Hash says, noting that horses generally dont leave ruts. The Davis County Wildlife Federation has attempted to curb the problem by installing signs and barricades at such places as above the Farming-toOrchards subdivision. But often the signs are ignored and removed. HARDEST HIT by the ruling is the United Way information and referral center whose local sponsors are now forced to come up with $22,500 to MR. NELSON explained that unless the service is carried out by United Wav, a proposal will have to be made to find a secondary organization to take over the program. And. if a secondary souice cannot be found, Nelson said another county department will have to oversee the ser- vice. Com. Eberhard said there is currently no county mandate which says the information and referral service must be provided residents. AS FAR AS funding, the commissioner said. Ed like to keep that one open for discussion. It's been a good service. can't fault the service." he said, noting, however, that additional funding cannot be appropriated until an investigation into the stability of the completed. light budget as one key reason HE ADDED that the county should not continue to appropriate matching money for the departments when the departments have money in their own additional match funding service is budgets for behind their decision to cut fedetally-sponsore- piogtams.

For every dollar collected by the county organization, the federal government matches with a dollar of their own. As a result of the commissioner's decision, the Davis County Council On Aging, Community Action Group, United Way information and referral service, legal and vocational aid group and mental health departments will have to match the federal funds with money from their own budgets. meet the federal match. Com.
