Show By County Residents the policies. Especially controversial was one that originally called for implementation of schools in three west side communities by 1984. That language was eliminated from the reading that was accepted as the first reading of the policy. Several board members said they felt that to place such a plan in policy before the bond election in February was, at best, premature. Total agreement was not reached on the busing issue, although it looks like the policy calling for busing certain areas of Hunter to the Skyline area on the secondary level may be rescinded. A statement that the district will not overbuild on the west side also has some support, as does a statement that double sessions will not be used as a permanent solution to - For Teacher Contracts - Q Thursday, Dec. 9, WEST VALLEY VIEW 1982 t year-roun- d User Fees Advised For County Parks SO. SALT LAKE. A suggestion to initiate user fees in county parks was brought up at a County Council of Governments here Friday. County spokesman Don Davis said a recently conducted poll by Dan Jones and Associates ray, West Valley City and Salt Lake City, he said. In other action, a committee was organized to help coordinate ways to supply the growing population of Salt Lake County with water in the future. Dubbed the Water Supply Committee, COG made it part of its Public Works Committee and named Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson as chairman of the group because his city controls most of the water rights in the county. The suburbs may face serious shortages in the near future because of growth in Salt Lake City that will force the city to stop selling surplus water to other areas of the county, according to Robert B. Hilbert, general manager of the Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District. in- dicated that county residents preferred user fees to increased property taxes to help fund parks. The suggestion was one of several Davis made while presenting to COG a master plan for e centers parks and throughout the county. The plan, which is an update of a similar study completed in 1972, cost $50,000. It was adopted by the County Commission in September. Funding for the plan came from county general and capital improvement funds, Davis said. The plan is designed to be a guide to decision makers, planners, private recreation owners and anyone interested in the development of recreation services in Salt Lake County, he said. It is also a required part of the review process for any federal funding requests from local units in the county area. Davis recommended that all activities within the jurisdiction of the county should be coordinated to avoid unnecessary duplication of recreational services. He also said the master plan should be updated in five years. He also asked to meet with the various city councils to explain the plan in detail.

Walker, 24, asked if there is a conflict between the two proposed taxes and another statewide beer tax proposed in October by the State Division of Alcoholism and Drugs to more effectively educate about and prevent the abuse of alcohol and drugs. The SDAD proposal involves raising the total tax on a barrel of beer from the current $4.12 to $6.94 in order to generate $2 million more in tax revenue. Judy Brady, SDAD director, previously dubbed a proposal to tax beer at a rate of 36 cents per - on a countywide basis -as an opportunist move.

Stewart commented, however, that there had been suggestions to increase the fee at the gate. He would said such a change eliminate the ability of some people who need the experience. Deputy County Attorney Alan Moll, who explained the zoo proposal, urged full state funding, calling it our highest priority. He said it is only fair because people from around the state visit the zoo, but only those in Salt Lake County pay taxes to support it. He said if legislators are only willing to pick up half the $1.5 million tab for maintenance and operation of the $20 million facility, the county will have to do the rest.

Stewart also explained COGs interest in working with the legislators. Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson answered the same question in regard to a sales tax redistribution plan that was also discussed. He said COG was recommending the proposal - which includes a quarter-cen- t increase in sales taxes - and added, Well take the heat. Wilson has taken an independent, neutral stance from COG on the liquor tax issue, citing a prior commitment to the sales tax plan. Maloney responded to Rep.
