Robert Garff of Bountiful Franklin Knowlton, of the Layton, appropriations committee, both stressed efforts at trying to meet needs while not issuing a blank check for such key jssues as flooding and educa- tion. we appropriated almost everything that was asked for, as far as flooding is concerned, Repr. Knowlton noted the $28 million included nearly everything but an environmental impact statement for the Great Salt Lake with the possibility it wouldve pushed pumping a little quicker that included contingencies for future flooding and agency requests from many areas. We did not give money for protection of private property but did for public, with about $13 million for cities and counties as well as for Thistle, plus dredging for the Jordan NOTING River. Joseph H. Battaglia, Hill AFB commander, said we remain vitally concerned in assisting the State in finding a solution to the flooding and will cooperate as fully as possible to insure the proposal meets with the National EnvironmeiA tal Policy Act (NEPA) within the shortest possK ble time frame. He added, however, that this agreement would not relieve the State from conducting all of the educational funding package, an area that dominated the session. Recalling that he "wears three 20-da- y tory. some objective reforms, I dont know that $40 million would either, Mr. Knowlton emphasized, speaking of the $40 million for reform thatd been requested. Repr. Knowlton, I WOULDVE liked to see more money in education but I think the polls should (the people) did not buy off on the governors proposal. They wanted an increase but not at that funding level. I think essentially the Republican majority met the needs of the people. THE Legislature was not impressed with the steering committees report that you would get that much reform or benefit from the size of investment. It (investment) wouldve lasted forever and been added on (to tax bills) regardless of what we got in return. The governors barnstorming did little or nothing except bring out the opposition, never the support, he continued. steering committee that recommended the $150 million increase for education. Education gave us their want list and essentially what happened is that we pared the list down to what was needed. It isn't exactly everything they wanted but it will keep the schools open and there is a start to the reform side. Legislature, Mr. Knowlton commented there is probably more need for a closed caucus with the House because of the large group and sometimes the (limited) time we have. OPEN (caucuses) are interest-d- id the Governors proposed closed doors), he continued. I think we should have a combination of both, as most (legislatures) do. .The Legislature did provide some money for raises, both for public employees and legislators, he noted, with a six percent raise not in the cards until you add the merit and changes in insurance and other benefits.

THE Legislature did pro$15 million for re the year, thus canceling or postponing scheduled air strikes at the gunnery range. Another factor of concern for the Air Force is the safety of crewmen forced to (bail out) and subsequently land in the flooded area of the desert. THIS WOULD be extremely dangerous since the water would be very shallow and highly saline - with the winter temperature near freezing. Because the water would be so shallow and the ground surface so unstable, individuals landing in the area would be unable to either swim or stand and walk to safety. Under these conditions, the crewmember could either die of asphyxiation or drowning, and probably could not survive during the winter more than 15 minutes, the report noted. THE REPORT concluded by stating that the Air Force is willing to work with the State to solve flooding problems, but asked that a closer belook be made - and alternatives studied this is in reached matter. decision fore a architectural studies; inflationary costs; remote site costs (estimated by the U.S. Corps of En- - added. vide over NEW HOLDING ponds and canals in the area could also cause ground fog at certain times of 40-ho- ur respond heavier (behind budget, falling short by $100 million-fundi- ng at $2.32 billion. cjaS -- good, but you cant reach the points as fast and as hard when you can fire a littleheavier and not reach public gy, and geologic conditions which present an extremely harsh environment; high salinity in water and soil ; and an inadequate transportation system.

HE ALSO STRESSED that there is a need to accommodate the militarys Explosive Ordinance Disposal (gunnery and rocket) activities of the nearby range and avoid interference with normal range use - which could mean scheduling after hours construction and possibly weekend construction as part of the normal workweek.

If the education system wants to use that for reform, they surely can put that to a great advantage. If they dont, it wouldnt matter how much money was given.

COL. BATTAGLIA also noted that the feasibility study recently completed by the state did not attempt to address the significant impact the project would likely have. The colonel specifically cited that construction costs were apparently based on local (Salt Lake conditions rather than the remote site situation of the project - on the west shore of the Great Salt Lake.
