The action came during the Rocky Mountain Conference of Democratic Leaders. Miss Redd submitted her resignation to Democratic National Chairman John M. Bailey. She had previously announced her intention of resigning some time ago. Miss Redd said she had made the decision in order to be able to devote more time to my law affairs office would provide a focus on local problems and render staff services to the advisory council. The governor said part of this role already has been assigned to the state planning coordinator, but the office hasnt been funded sufficiently to work effectively as an office of local affairs on the scale he is con- sidering. He outlined several committees that assist in federal government Governor Calvin L. Hampton Possibility of creating a state advisory council on local or community affairs was being considered this week by Governor Calvin L. Hampton The governor explained that the council, would advise me regarding the role of state government in support of local government and help with the solution of local problems. He made the announcement in a speech to the opening session of the Utah Association of Counties in the Newhouse Hotel. He said an office of local affairs would wQrk in conjunction with the council. This would come through the expansion of the efforts and scope of the state planning co-- sponsored programs. I see no reason why all these committees could not be consolidated into a single advisory committee on the local affairs. I see the primary mission of this program to be one of helping community leaders in coping with the many problems that face their counties and communities, the governor said. Gov. Rampton said some of the specific objectives of the program would be: 1. To coordinate the many programs of grants and aids to the political subdivisions' in the state and reduce duplication, overlap and waste. 2. To assure that such grant programs actually reflect the needs and desires of local government. 3. To provide a central clearing house for information concerning local government problems.
