Councilwoman Carol Page was mayor at the meeting. pro-ter- n THE COUNCIL passed the resolution rules for power line extension subdivision, Ivory and Co., com- pliance with federal energy regulatory commission adopt-in- g regulations on cogeneration to be approved based on the public hearing held earlier in the evening. John Thacker, city administrator, outlined a proposed power equity fee which was prepared from a study by the engineering staff of ICPA. He explained the general concept of the ordinance which would provide the cost of additional major distribution and generation necessitated by growth. HE STATED that there are similar ordinances in effect on storm dram and water storage and the fee is a one time fee with possibility of waiver for certain conditions such as low income housing. The fees would be held in a separate account to provide for the costs of increasing the power system to meet the needs of growth. The council approved the adoption of the concept of the equity fee and a public hearing was set. COUNCILMAN Nelson questioned if the fee would be reviewed and updated. Mr. Thacker stated it would be necessary to look at the economics and costs, then review them yearly. A proposed power line agreement for Hess Farms agree- bursement schedule for the power line extension on 50 ment with Hess Farms be prepared as outlined above and returned to the council. The council reviewed a West St. which was financed by the pioneer developer. Ivory and Co. Hess Farms for reimbursement for extension of a water was presented to the council by Mr. Thacker, setting reim- proposed agreement with line south on Main St. to the subdivisions. There was a discussion on the Mitchell annexation and extending this water line to his proposed development. HE SAID the agreement states how Ivory and Co. will be reimbursed as other users connect on the line. Pat Bates, the developer, corrected one item on the agreement, stating there was a total of 57 acres involved, not the 103 acres as shown on the agreement. STEVEN HESS, owner of the land through which the Mitchell line would run, was present at the meeting and was asked to speak to the council concerning the crop damage which would result if this line is run now. Mr. Hess stated that it would be impossible to farm that portion of land with an un- WALT MEACHAM, superintendant, city stated this would change the impact figures and explained that the power line was serving a larger area and the developers using a smaller portion of it, so the return may be slower. Mr. Thacker stated that under this agreement. Ivory and Co., should have their initial power line investment back within a 15 year period with ten percent interest. , settled trench since water under this year's budget and the general agreement was that there was no fund available for the remainder of the budget year. SPRING cleanup dates were set for the week of April 6 on the west side of Main St. and the week of April 13 for the east side of Main St. Residents will be asked to bundle trimmings and other debris to facilitate handling by city crews. Methods of advertising and informing the residents were discussed. Mr. Thacker suggested a street log be kept as crews pick up the trash. IT WAS the general consensus of the council that they approve the concept of the first response team if this could be done within the current budget and it could be considered in the new budget in July. Councilman Burnett moved this be approved and it was passed by the council. The city council approved two city licenses, career planning and counseling, np nt The council questioned whether this was possible would not cross over it to the other part of the field. of government regulations and the reality of hospitals as big have helped pinbusiness HE WAS reminded that there was an easement on that portion of land. He stated that it was his understanding that he could farm there until Ivory and Co. developed this portion and did not foresee this type of situation earlier. The council felt that this mater was between Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Hess and the city could only make Mr. Mitchell aware that the city knows the Hess concern and urge them to negotiate. THE COUNCIL approved the water line agreement with Hess Farms subdivision on 200 N. St. extension as presented with a clause to include the two projects. Councilman Snow moved that based on the results of the public hearing held March 3, and the recommendations of the planning commissions rezoning of Hess Farms subdivision Phase 2 and 3 from l zone to zone be approved and the council passed it unanimously.

Holding degrees in a business and health care administration, Mr. Wilson says spe- cialists in such areas are needed to meet demands placed on major facilities for such areas as quality assurance and risk management. THERE IS a demand for managers and people who possess skills to do a more sophisticated job in forecasting the needs of the people you serve. Hospitals have been passive, working to just take care of the needs as presented.' But the youthful administrator continues.

We have an annual budget of over $40 million (half the budget of the Davis School District, for example)." ' SEEING management skills as his strength Mr. Wilson says his actual medical or health education background is not great. "In some ways I find it helpful to not have a medical background. It gives me a different sort of perspective." Working with different departments he may have questions that might not occur to medical staff and may see different possibilities, he emphasizes. BUT, HE ADDS, "I want to be involved and immerse myself into the departments. It's easy for an administrator to come to see himself as working in a business and not a hospital. I don't have to have that much contact with patients. "I go down (to the floors) at least once a week to see patients and talk to them. I watch HE LEARNED Navaho while serving as an LDS missionary.

Supt.
