Mr McGowan referred to a series of memoranda that he says indicate there was no attempt to hide the conversion of sick leave to retirement One memo dated May 11 1989 the date of the questionable transfer was from Vickie Brown to Mary Johnson at Human Resources Management It requested approval e to "process conversion of adjustments due to an administrative error" Mr McGowan said such a

isn't needed by the city ty-tax But as long as the money is there he will use it The mayor's tentative budget was passed by the City Council Tuesday evening "We wouldn't be doing as many roads there would be less money for the fire department and there would be no merit increase for employees without the extra money" Mayor Warr said "I still think we could get by without it but it's nice to have" City Council members said they still believe the hike was necessary "The tax increase saved this city" Council member Jan Wells said "There are still a lot of projects we would like to get done" Council Member Steve Brooks said he not only agrees the extra tax was needed the city still needs more money "We need more sidewalks built ditches covered and roads improved but we're trying to do the best with what we have" Mr Brooks said The mayor said he feels his budget is "a good budget" and that he has covered most of the priority projects in the city He said most of Riverton's "problem"

wrongdoing led Corrections Director Gary De Land to improperly add $4500 in benefits to his retirement account and the accounts of his two top aides A recent audit labeled the trio's conversion of sick leave to retirement benefits to be outside state rules that govern such practices The audit found that Mr De Land improperly added 160 hours of converted sick leave from previous em ployment to his state retirement accounts The same amount was added in May 1989 to the benefits of Deputy Director Bruce Egan and Director Services Nick of Administrative Morgan Under certain circumstances employees can bring some benefits to state jobs when being assimilated ed by the EPA until the substance can be identified Ms Trueman said e The trucks remain pending further investigation Officials are also looking into whether the material was intentionally dumped she said The area has been cordoned off and EPA officials will work around the clock to identify the chemical and its source The EPA recently completed a study of possible toxic waste left over from the plant's paint manufacturing days The study showed trace amounts of organic and inorganic chemicals in the soil and in shallow groundwater but said all solvents had been removed No one is cur- l''f Changes in home economics reflect the needs of society said Dee Ann Judd chairwoman of Layton departHigh's ment The program has
