Storey. The commission is faced with two conflicting proposals, Storey said. The Weber County Department of Aging and Volunteer Services has proposed that the hospital, which has long been a separate entity with its own governing board, be joined with the department of aging, with a single administrator or director supervising both agencies. The present members of the board hospital have strongly recommended that the proposal be rejected. There are strong opinions on each side of the issue, which centers on the possibility of a monetary savings on one side and the fear of on the inadequate representation other. Storey said there is no definite deadline for a decision by the county commission but that he expects the commission will vote within the next month." In the meantime, the director of the department of aging, Kenneth Bradshaw, is serving as acting administrator of the hospital along with carrying out his other duties for the county. The county has taken no action to solicit or review applications for the hospital administrators position, pending the outcome of a commission vote on the issue. Storey said if the unification proposal is rejected action needs to be taken soon to name an administrator for the hospital. Dr. Lowell Daines, chief of staff and medical director for the hospital, said he feels strongly that such an administrator should be required to have a medical background. He also said unification of the two departments would be a great detriment to the hospital. Daines said, It is important that the hospital be independent; each department should have its own head to serve as representative before the county commission, so that neither gets a predominance of funding When you put one person over two departments, he can't treat both equally, any more than a parent can treat two children absolutely equally he will give one or the other the benefit of his representation. Each department needs someone to champion its particular causes, much like our law system, where each side has its own counsel and an outside body makes the final decision, he said. If we are going to put the hospital Th 07- the department of aging, why not do away with all the separate agencies and put all health under one in with department? Because each one needs each own head " The present inaction in searching for a new hospital administrator also concerns Daines. "Certain people want this combination to come about, he said, and they are making us run at halfspeed until an agreement is reached, they have been effective in blocking a search for a new administrator.

Roy, Utah 1400 W., August 6, tly. 1 980 Boyr 10, detained at Moweda Price boy who has charged with second-degre- e murder in the shooting death of his mother is being detained at Moweda Youth Home in Roy. Mark Woodland was ordered transferred to the juvenile detention center after a closed hearing in 5th District Juvenile Court in Price. He will remain at Moweda until a pretrial hearing set for Aug. 26. Tony Hassell, director of the center, said the boy will be undergoing psychiatric and physical evaluations while at the center. He said staff psychologists at the Weber County Mental Health Department will be examining the boy. Physical evaluation will be done at St. Benedicts Hospital in Ogden, Hassell said. The boy was charged after his mother, Cheryl Woodland, 34, died of gunshot wounds July 30 in Price. Police said she was shot at her home the night of July 29. Mark, adopted by the Woodland family two years ago, was taken into custody shortly after the shooting at a Mormon chapel where he had gone to talk to his bishop. Mrs. Woodland made her way to a neighbors home where she collasped after the shooting. She had been shot once through her arm and chest and once in the center of the chest by a heavy caliber gun. Mark led officers to his fathers .357 revolver which had been fired five times. Hassell said the boy has a room by himself, but is not being kept away from other youths at the center. He said he has shown no violent tendencies while at the center. He just acts like any other Hassell said. He is a babyfaced kid and seems very normal. Hassell said the boy is being closely supervised because of the risk that he may become very depressed after he becomes cognizant of whats happened. "We always have to be careful a kid doesnt get so down and out he decides to do some harm to himself, Hassell said. He said the center is handling the on a practical basis, with boy common sense."

The Roy City Council will consider an ordinance Tuesday to The proposed creation ot a Roy City redevelopment agency could eventually mean an increased tax base for the city and a lessening of the tax burden on property owners, according to Roy City Manager Richard Kirkwood. Kirkwood explained that the agency would make it possible for the city to attract well-planne- commercial d developments through use of the citys status to help the tax-exem- developer obtain low-intere- st financing. The city has authorized City Attorney Roger Dutson to draft an ordinance to create a redevelopment agency. Kirkwood said it is very possible the council may adopt the ordinance at its council meeting Tuesday. Kirkwood said the proposal has been in the works for more than 18 months. He said the city has been sending out letters to potential developers, outlining the citys plans for upgrading the business districts. The City Council has been concerned about the loss of revenues in the form of sales tax dollars brought on by deterioration of the commercial areas, he said. He referred to the fact several is businesses have moved from Roy in recent months and few new enterprises have moved in. In order to provide a viable community, we must maintain a mixture of revenue sources from sales taxes, property taxes, fees and federal and state grants, Kirkwood said. A balance of revenues is necessary to avoid creating a greater burden on property owners, he said. We have to make sure our fees are and in line and we must maintain a good operating business climate to s of generate sales so that each cent the city gets provides a good tax base, he said. He indicated the current recession has created a cautious and conservative attitude among potential developers which makes it difficult to measure the citys success in creating interest among development companies and property owners. A proposal made recently by Akerlow, Thomas and Dyer of Ogden to develop 14 acres bordered by 1900 West, Riverdale Road and the Bamberger Railroad tracks is a good one, Kirkwood said. The area currently contains an auto te three-fourth- salvage businesses several shop, and some homes. small Hie create a redevelopment agency to study potential developments areas. development firm proposes to raze existing buildings and construct an with Safeway likely open mall providing a major anchor. Safeway recently moved out of another shopping center in Roy. Kirkwood said this type of development could provide a pleasant, attractive center which would increase retail sales in the city. He said the philosophy of the City Council is to upgrade the existing commercial areas in the city, rather than extend the business area by strip zoning, or zoning of the length of 1900 West, for example, for random commercial development. The city wants business areas, Kirkwood said. He said the proposed redevelopment agency would do extensive research, using the existing master plan to identify areas for redevelopment. Those areas would be designated in priority according to the need, he said. He said the city would then continue to solicit developers and would offer d help with financing for developments. The council would deal with each proposal individually, Kirkwood said. He said the possibilities for could be anything redevelopment from upgrading and improving in existing commercial existing businesses to razing of buildings and starting over.

Anyone who has not voted in the last four years will need to register with the county, as will anyone who has moved into a different voting district, Weber County Clerk Wendell Hansen said. People who have voted within the past four years are still listed on the voter rolls and need not register. For the convenience of the public, registration agents of Weber County will be at their homes in each voting district Saturday and Aug. 26 between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. to sign up all persons entitled to vote. People may also register at the county clerks office in the. Weber County Courthouse during regular office hours except on neighborhood registration days and during the y period immediately preceeding the Sept. 9 election. The list of candidates in several races will be narrowed as a result of the primaries. Incumbent Weber County School District board member, Shirley S. Carver of Hooper, will face Ted L. Parke of Wilson, Dee L. Schenck of Taylor, and Janet A. Tueller of Roy in a four-wa- y contest for the Precinct Four seat. Incumbent board member Patrick G. Baggs of Riverdale will vie against Celia Archibald of Riverdale and Robert Vance of Washington Terrace for the Precinct Five seat. The top two vote getters in those contests will have their names placed on the Nov. 4 general election ballot so voters can make a final choice. Randall L. Gardner of Hooper and Harold R. Johnson of Riverdale are both seeking the Republican nomination for the District 8 State Representative seat, which serves Riverdale, Hooper, and Kanesville. The winner of that contest will face incumbent state Rep. Roger Rawson, a Democrat, in November. At the state level, voters will choose between Dan Berman and A. Stephen Dirks, both vying for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination and the chance to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. Jake Garn, Moroni L.
