This process will also save employee's time where they can be working with clients instead of doing paperwork. "We are excited about it," said Fish. She also mentioned a project with the Emery County High students where they are introduced to trades available in the area. They will also go on field trips to Bridgerland and the Price technical college as well as Snow South to expose them to w hat's available. There is also a scholarship program where they can apply and receive scholarships from the College of Eastern Utah. We are experiencing an increase in unemployment claims. The unemployment rate in October was 8.3 percent. There has been an influx of individuals with the ending of the seasonal employment. Utah has increased accuracy statewide from 84 percent to 92 percent. The money saved is being reinvested in the employees. The lease on our building will be up next November and we hope to be in our new building by then, said Fish. Commissioner Johnson was next speaking for the planning and zoning committees need for a digitizer. It was pointed out that the county should not farm out this type of work but invest in their own. Other counties are also interested in seeing how it works. A digitizer is used in the tracing of boundary lines on maps. A map is placed on a magnetic table and the mouse or stylus is equipped with cross hairs which trace the boundary lines. It will be used to trace green belt as well as industrial areas. The next item on the agenda was the consideration and approval of a contract between Emery County and State History for the ongoing support grant for the Emery County Archives. Jeff Guymon was next on the agenda. He explained that the library money from the federal grant in the amount of $7,533 was used for various expenses and for the purchase of four laser printers which will be placed in four of the city librar ies with the other four libraries receiving new laser printers next year. The grant money received next year will help in upgrading the card catalog system which can be searched on the web. The federal grant is in the amount of $34,500 with the county match in the amount of $11,750. Guymon pointed out that these updates will eliminate several problems, reducing the amount of time involved in connecting to the server and reducing the maintenence fee of the libraries. The disposal of the county owned house in Ferron was next on the agenda. Commissioner Sitterud said, It has been determined that it is in the best interest of the county to dispose of the house. It has been assessed for $74,248. County Attorney Blackwell pointed out the need to notify adjoining property owners of the impending sale of the house. The county will be accepting sealed bids for the house after which the bids will be opened on Jan. 22 at 9 a.m. Commissioner Johnson pointed out the need to review the proper disposal pro cedures for this type of an action. Commissioner Sitterud said he will conduct tours of the property for interested indi- ) . viduals. The next item on the agenda was the consideration and approval of the contract for indigent defense counsel service This fund is payed into every year. Commissioner Hatch, clarified the defense counsel fund by explaining that a big ticket item such as a capital murder case could cost a county big bucks. But if the county is covered by the fund then they do not have to pay for the defense counsel for such a case. The next item on the agenda was the approval of the 2002 Commission Meetings and the; holiday schedule. These schedules were approved by the commission. It was pointed out that the Utah Association of Counties recommended to its members to hold their meetings on Tuesdays so meetings could be coordi- nated throughout the state. County commissioners already follow a Tuesday meetThe-Emer- ing schedule. Internet safety tour gets personal Force and Attorney General their homes and share very personal details about their lives.

Im disappointed more parents wouldnt take an hour to find how to protect their kids, said Agent Rose. Shurtlefi hopes more parents did learn something through the media.
