Pearson said: “No" Brinkerhoff said: “You mean everything's just going so smooth that nobody has any problem?" - Brinkerhoff and Baker started to talk about the differences in leasing and buying the ballfields There will be a girl’s game in two weeks on the fields and the County probably won’t make a decision as to whether to lease or buy the property from the LDS Church in that time “We had better get the fields ready to use this year" said Baker "I told Gary (Hone) to put dirt on the infield” said Brinkerhoff Baker admitted he had a problem with the contract where the county wants to lease the land but the church wants to reserve the fields four days out of seven "I think we can change that" said Brinkerhoff Baker added: "You know down the line Dave’s not going to be Slake President and we're not going to be Commissioners and I think the County ought to be better protected” The Commissioners agreed that they should work out the conflict "In the meantime we’ll get it prepared so they can have their ball games or whatever” said Gary Hone The county is advertising for jobs three on the west side “Here’s a copy of the lease if you want to read it" said Baker handing the employees B aker stated that "the one guy who’s been giving me all the hassle on this didn't want his wife to get to his money” If this was approved the county would set up a special account at an financial institution where employees who do not already have checking ac counts could wTite one free check per month so they could get their money after that it's their responsibility Richard Steve Morrison asked about the possibility of using a commercial payroll service Hansen said that was something that the county could look into Hansen said that the effective date of GRAMA has been changed from April to July (This is the act that allow s public access to records) Hansen will direct this information to LeRay Jackson to comply Hansen recommended that the county meet at UAC to discuss full costs and allocations and a new method to break out costs that substantiates the figures and allocations Hansen said that Tony Dearden dropped off a copy of the agreement to buy some property for the fire district over by the Fillmore fire station - Craig Ames architect appeared before the Commission to discuss final plans for the new court facility He stated that based on your usage last year the base rates on hot water was 571 37 for propane gas If it had been natural gas the cost would have been S4472 “The savings would more than pay for the hot w ater boiler" said Ames Ames wanted to accomplish two things: finalize the basement and then go through the final plans approved by almost everyone involved from state level down Sheriff Phillips has requested an overhead Cracking system similar to laundrydry cleaners that can carry prisoners personal effects up into the ceiling area "a space that would otherwise be wasted” The judge's door disliked by Sheriff Phillips in the last meeting was eliminated by a popular vote lead by Brink erhoff’T think you need to put a window over here" he suggested Ames said: "Well that’s a restroom” said Ames Hellenbrand said: “There are some things the public doesn’t need to know” Phillips said: “I’m going to write that I want that in the down Kate said minutes!” said Phillips “It's rolling” said clerk Sherri Stephenson pointing to the County's tape recorder (There was much laughter at this exchange) “All engineers are involved now -mechanical electrical and structural” said Ames Pearson said that he now needed to know precisely how many square feet will be devoted to what and a final cost estimate in order to continue to fill out the application He said Six County has approved the application and arc encouraging the county to submit the application to the State Various financial alternatives were discussed Brinkerhoff asked Pearson about the "housing” Pearson said that the plans have been delivered to Farm Home and they’re doing the appraisal "We’re number one” said Pearson “they have the money They have to do an appraisal which they have to bid out which will take about a month and then Millard County Chronicle Court Report -- - Progress March 25 199?
