According to Darrel May-nedirector of the county building inspection department, permit issuances have been on an upward climb for the last five years." This year's issuances are up be- - s, ment Salt Lake City commissioner Glen Greener made at a tween 10 and 30 percent per month over last year, he said. No one seems to really know where the activity is coming from," Maynes noted, saying there are a number of different theories as to its cause. Over the years, May-nc- s said hes seen the bulk of activity swing from one part of the county to another. This year it's on the west side. That jibes with a commission meeting last week that massive residential development is taking place on the northwest side and that the area will soon be larger than the rest of the city. At least two major industrial parks are also planned for the area and there is serious discussion of developing the south shore of the Great Salt Lake. Maynes also told the Enterprise November has been one of the biggest months of the year, although in most years permit issuance dies down around the end of October until the end of the holiday season. The slump didnt occur this year or last year, something which may be partly attributable to mild weather conditions.

This amounts to a cost of $35,000 per bed in the renovated facility, compared to $10,000 to $12,000 cost per bed in a new facility," McFall said.

Utah nursing homes have found it increasingly difficult to take care of themselves since the state imposed Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement restrictions last January, requiring 70 percent occupancy, Dennis McFall of the Utah Health Care Association said.
