Show Wilfora Monitor MARCH 22, 1996 Dear Editor: I would like to respond to several issues that were related in the Milford Monitor several weeks ago. Some of these may become lengthy, but in typical fashion I choose to respond to things that | disagree with. It was noted and stated that ean Sullivan highly protested Larry Sower’s reinstallment on the planning and zoning board. I feel qualified to respond to this because at one time I too disapproved of Larry's position on the planning and zoning board. A number of things caused me to change my opinion of that considerably. Upon having had the opportunity to work with Larry on a number of issues and find out the real facts behind why Larry wanted to serve on the planning and zoning board and why in fact he was actually doing it, the truth of the matter is this, Larry has a very genuine _ concern for the city of Milford and Beaver County in general. I personally believe, and have witnessed the fact, that Larry has spent countless, hundreds and even thousands of hours attempting to better our town and county and is in fact doing just that. If Larry had other things in mind, particularly being a Circle Four employee, would choose not to be on the board, but to help place somebody on the board that could easily be persuaded the their line of thinking. Larry has, in every instance, abstained from voting on any and every Circle Four issue. Larry needs to be on the board because he is dedicated, because he understands how the process works, and because he has a genuine HAAN WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE PRUNING MY FRUIT TREES?

The loss of winter hardiness occurs quickly when cells the top of the underside’ cut. Finally, Milford will net a bare minimum of $43,000 per year in tax revenue organization that would do that to benefit the city is honorable. While at the same time it is no secret that Commissioner Sullivan has entered into an agreement with Circle Four with respect to his hay barns and etc. that he may or may not like, but he still made the I believe that Commissioner Sullivan has been a good commissioner to Beaver County and has served the people well in most cases. In the issues that are at hand nowI find it hard to believe that Gary's actions are not flavored by his inability to reach a more satisfactory deal on a personal level. In the situation at hand I believe that Gary Sullivan, as Larry Sowers has done, should withdraw from voting with respect to Circle Four issues. I would like to ‘point out that having’ ‘been involy din other states and other areas, both directly and indirectly with big ‘business, ‘if business cannot operate at a profit they cannot operate. For the three county commissioners from Beaver County among those, Gary Sullivan, to entice Circle Four to invest millions of dollars in our town and county and then for one of those three commissioner to behave in the fashion of which he is, in my opinion with no justification is scurrilous and irresponsible. If anybody thinks that Circle Four has invested too heavily to pull out now, think again. If pushed too far any business will pull out. The most damaging effect, and a resounding one, would be felt if Circle Four were pushed too far. I suggest that each and every big business bears watching, but I also suggest that Circle Four has done nothing from which anybody could draw a bad conclusion. Circle Four has been a very positive influence on the city of Milford, on the community, and in the county. I recommend that they continue to have that opportunity to do so. Mark D. Dotson Editor’s Note Conversation with Rob Adams, Circle Four Farms general manager, has led me to believe that the company neither wants nor needs cheerleaders. Ideally, strong and responsible local leaders in an honest, straight forward partnership with the company will enhance both profitability and community desirability. This industry is in the “honeymoon” stage right now; jobs, enthusiasm, property sales, etc. We have, nevertheless, been forewarned from experiences in other areas of the country that there are potential problems. The company is also aware of the risks, and with the investment at stake, anxious to avoid pitfalls. Leadership with vision, not noisy rhetoric that folds at the first wind of opposition or the first waving of the good old green dollar, is essential for the future of Milford Valley and Beaver County. The Monitor agrees that elected or appointed officials should abstain from voting when they have a vested financial interest with any entity that could benefit from the related decision. This should not, in any way, be limited to Commissioner Gary Sullivan, Unfortunately, latitude allowed for financial entanglements is extremely broad in ethics Sections 10-3-1301 through 1312 and 17-16a-1 through 12 ofthe Utah Code. In gray areas, disclosure and related abstention, to a great degree, balances with the integrity of the individual. Plainly stated, the ultimate responsibility rests - as it always has - with “the folks” and what they will and will not allow. Male Review stubs, as they can March 30 - 9:00 P.M. - 1:00 A.M.

In no instances has Circle Four attempted to deal under the table or behind anyones' back, and in every case has done what they said they would do and more.
