A report on the proposed Hercules expansion, a discussion about the Magna Library ana a proposal to build an arboretum in Copper Community Park were part of the Magna Community Council meeting last week! Reporting on the meeting with Hercules, Joe Ribotto said that the councils primary concern is with the overpressure zone, as well as the disposal of toxic waste at the facility. He told the group that during the session with Hercules the council had been assured that the expansion would not bring the over pressure zone closer to the populated area. However, there are those who disagreed with that the specifications for hazardous waste, and the burning county says it will monitor the to meet hnwinff WUl committee can be formed with from various representatives organizations and the community of CAO 1 nwVA 1CU gG council "Short of being chairman, of Laura McDermaid, president, reports there is a new such an organization I will law "The Citizens Right To Know" continue to do all that I can to and the community can get achieve the best library in the best location for Magna", he answers to their questions.

Jail (Continued from page 1) construction of a new facility and not toward operation costs and that the county agree never to bother the cities over this issue again." He is most adamant on the latter point. McMillan said he has long felt that jailing is a county problem, not a city one, because the jail is supported out of the general fund. Billing the cities for jailing costs amounts to double - taxation, which he opposes in spite of the Supreme Court ruling. The other mayors agree with him. McMillan would also like to see the general fund reduced if Stewarts proposal comes to pass. said West Mayor Anderson Valley has also been banking its and has jail payment approximately $200,000 which he would agree to contribute for annew facility, if it went for construction and not for operation costs or bills. While he hopes it will fly, Anderson is still pessimistic because of Salt Lakes proposed part. Midvale Mayor Everett Dahl, also favoring the proposal, is concerned, not only about Salt Lake City, but about the proposed formula which would cost Midvale $127,000. "This must be the final solution and not something that will be reopened in the future by another administration." Dahl would like to see another formula for the contribution rather than the current one that figures each cities "ante" based on commuters going through the number of prisoners sent to the jail over the 18 month period of July 1986 to Dec. 31, 1987. "Ive long advocated that the jail is a people problem and not a city problem," Dahl said explaining that 60 percent of the people sent to jail by Midvale authorities come from outside the city. Thats because, he claimed, Midvale is in "a strategic spot" with many commuters going through the city. "I think my point is well demonstrated by the fact that Sandy, which is six times our size, is being asked for $60,000, while we are being asked for $127,000 toward a new facility." Sandy, Dahl said, does not send as manv to the jail because that city isnt located where it gets a lot of Cut Those dont wants around your house are probably do wants for someone else.

Still, Dahl likes the proposal in general, saying, "it has to go though. The jail is overcrowded and is a maximum security facility. We need a facility that is a minimum security that will cost less to operate. If someone escapes from a minimum security facility, we will pick them up again sometime and then they can spend time in the maximum security jail if thats where they like it better."
