Effective third term, students will be given a failure for each class in which they have five or more absences not deemed to be legitimate.

Obtaining an admission slip from the office, and presenting it to the teachers of each class for which there is an absence, is another responsibility policy the student If the student does have excessive absences, it is his responsibility to rates. for streets. The action came after the Kettle Brothers of Ballard, who contract to do the city garbage pickup, met with the council and asked for the increase. The Kettle brothers stated that inflation has increased gasoline, diesel and insurance prices in the past year. The rate increase brought a protest from the Duchesne County Commissioners. Commission chairman Loryn Ross said they had removed the $700 a month charge for the city to dump garbage at the county landfill, "trying to help the people of Roosevelt out a little." Ross said the rate increase negates the county's $8,000 a year contribution to the citys economy. City administrator Jerrol Syme responded that the $8 pickup fee had never covered the fee for the county Ellen Syme and countilwoman Rawlings pointed out that all of the rate increase is being passed through to the garbage hauler. The city will continue to keep 50 cents of the amount to cover billing and handling of administrative tasks. The rate change goes into effect Feh, 1 and will be reflected in the billings received the first of March. Syme added that the garbage service is voluntary and residents who feel the new rates are too high may discontinue the service.
