Show x Funding Plan Hazy 7 - SOUTH LAKE. Local government officials agreed on an imminent need for a new jail during a discussion here Thursday, but a long-terfunding plan for the facility has yet to earn a majority vote. Alta Mayor William Levitt summed up the general feeling during a County Council of Governments meeting, saying, We do have to build the facility and we have an opwe should portunity to do it now look at the options now and decide what to do about it. Construction of the minimum security facility is proposed on Salt d Lake land at about 300 So. 2300 West, according to COG executive secretary Ed Blaney. The honorary colonels of the Salt Lake City Police Department and Salt Lake City businessmen told COG they were prepared to raise $730,878 to help provide funds to construct the $950,000 jail. Gary Parke, a major in the Salt Lake City Police Department and a spokesman for the honorary colg onels, called the proposition a viable option. He said a lot of personal is involved in various tragedy alcohol-relate- d crimes and indicated would get that such a fund-raiscommunity support.

The issue now is whether the county, the cities or the state will pick up a long-terfunding formula for maintenance and operation of the jail. The difficulty of arriving at a mutual funding formula became apparent Thursday after West Valley City Mayor Jerry Maloney proposed the use of $459,000 the county would receive to fund the first six months of operation of the jail from Jan. 1 to June 30, 1984 - and have the next legislature provide funding for maintenance and operation of a permanent basis from the additional liquor and beer taxes. However, County Commissioners Bart Barker and Tom Shimizu pointed out the county is not ready and cannot now commit the money for maintenance and operation of the facility. Barker said he is sure there are legal requirements for spending - 1982-8- 1982-8- 3 as equallyabout strong community standards and Utahs hign moral values. The proponents of regulation maintain that the level of programming that is brought into the homes of the people of the community not only affects the individuals in each home, but has effects on society as a whole. That is a very viable and credible argument. But on the other hand, the opponents of regulation claim violation of their parental rights by regulation of cable TV. They further argue that to regulate that which they have personally subscribed to, for reasons of their own, is a violation of their individual rights. These are very sensible arguments. Needless to say, I felt quite inadequate in placing my vote either for or against such a hot piece of legislation. I soon recognized this as one determination that the people of FUNDING . . .

Plans also call for improvement of the ditch that will carry the runoff to 2400 South and there will be catch basins and inlets in the main drain all the way down the 8800 West block. Our plans for the storm drain are almost done, Holzworth said, but we dont have a back source of money if Community Development doesnt approve funding for the project. However, if the funds are approved the pipe will be in the ground by October, he noted. In regard to the Kennecott ditch, on 9200 West, Holzworth said that it is now under county supervision for maintenance and will be cleared of a heavy accumulation of debris within the next few weeks. He said there is little need for concern on the part of residents on the west side of town who expressed fears of flooding from that source. He pointed out that the ditch was first installed because of erosion caused by industrial waste, but since the hills have been there hasnt been too much water there. Holzworth added that the Salt Lake and Utah Canal now spills into a large storm drain at 8000 West infield. He went on to say that the pond stead of at 9200 West as it did in the will collect runoff from both dirpast, so that source of flooding has ections on 3100 South, then filter it also been eliminated. slowly down 8800 West.

Although the intersection at 2740 So. 8400 West is consid- ered a high hazard location and number two on the states priority list, it could be several years before corrections are made. Joseph McBride, state safety engineer, who spoke to the Magna Community Council last week, explained that eight years ago designs were made for raised medians at the site to reroute traffic to 2700 South. In addition, plans also called for closing 2650 South and the stub road that runs north of the Magna Chamber of Commerce triangle. However, a changing politicial climate resulted in lack of funding for the proposal and it was shifted to another place on the priority list. McBride said details were still sketchy, but a preliminary study has been made to correct the hazardous intersection. He added that there would no doubt be some opposition from businesses located on the curve. Right now, high hazard money is being used to improve safety at intersections at 3200 West, 3600 West, 4400 West, 4800 West and 5600 West, using funds that were appropriated in 1979, McBride said. Although each individual intersection doesnt meet the requirements, combined they do. When questioned by Chick Paris as to why the Magna priority had been shifted to West Valley, McBride said that the greater volume of traffic and accident rate accounted for the priority placement. He added that there were 24 accidents at 3600 West during 1978, compared to only six at 2740 So. 8400 West. However, Paris reminded him that out of the six accidents at the Magna site, there had been two fatalities in December, 1978. There have been 25 accidents there from Drill Teams To Give Show At Granger High Pizzazz will be GRANGER. staged at Granger high tomorrow (Friday) night in the gymnasium.

Sandy Oxton is Excalibur adviser and Nancy Tanner directs the spirit club. control Terry Holzworth met with the Magna Community Council Thursday to outline present and future efforts to control runoff water in the area, answering concerns that had been expressed by several residents. When the building boom started here development was allowed without much thought for the future regarding flood control. Now, however, according to Holzworth, builders will be bound by a county ordinance which states that their development must tie into a system that is to be installed by the developer before the project begins. In speaking to the council Thursday, Holzworth said that when Arbor Park was built, it was a joint project between the Gust family and the county. When a proposed shopping center off 8400 West near 2740 South is built it will be necessary to build a system that will carry the water away from the area to a safe point. As each new development comes, Holzworth said, we build a series of catch basins that allows water to filter out slowly, and the same policy will apply at the Cyprus high installation where a holding pond will be constructed on the ball FumdRaisingj? the Treasure for Your Team, Troop, Unlock Church, School, or Charitable Organization.

A breakdown of figures provided by McBride shows that during 1979, there were six accidents at the site with four injuries. In 1980, there were 12 accidents with one injury and in 1981, seven accidents with one injury. McBride said that the volume of traffic in the West Valley area is the seventh largest in the valley. At 3200 West there have been six injury accidents, nine at 3600 West, nine at 4000 West and 13 at 4800 West, but no fatalities. McBride said future plans call for widening 8400 West to 80 feet, but it would take U2 years for planning, after which bids would be let. Let me put it this way, he said, if it could have been done two years ago, we would have done it, but right now we probably won't get to it for a couple of years. Registration For EMT Course Is Under Way GRANGER. A new emergency medical technician training program is being offered at Granger Community school. The course, not listed in the spring quarter catalog, will get under way April 25. A discount will be offered for early registration paid in advance. The fee of $245 is to be paid on or before the first night of class. The cost thereafter will be $260. The course will offer students training in emergency care for the sick and injured, with such subjects as burns, bleeding, fractures, childbirth, heart attacks, CPR, shock and many other medical emergencies. At the completion of the course, students will be given the state certification examination. Much more than a first aid class, those in charge noted, the extensive course will be administered by physicians, specialists and highly trained EMT instructors under guidelines of the Utah State Emergency Medical Services. EMTs are widely used on industrial safety teams, search and rescue, ski patrol and hospital emergency rooms.
