' i'f' months. SNOW!! exemptions given support by City Council Utility provided added support for an existing ordinance. The ordinance in question deals with exemptions for those individuals who, for various reasons, cannot pay their entire monthly utility bill sent out by Roosevelt City. Each month the bill contains the billing for water, sewer, and garbage collection. Glen Vernon, City Administrator, said the action taken Monday will establish guidelines evening whereby such residents will obtain exemptions on all or part of their monthly bills. The idea has been in the workings for quite some time, according to Vernon. He said an ordinance was in existence that provided for such exemptions, but the Administrator pointed out the main problem being that of determining who should receive the exemptions. "It has been very difficult for Roosevelt City to define hardship," said Vernon. The actum taken Monday evening adopts guidelines established and used by the State Department of Social Services. Vernon was quick to point out that these figures furnished by the State will be used only as guidelines by Roosevelt and will not be the final determinant of who will receive exemptions and how great they will be. "There are too many variables which can determine need, said Vernon. He pointed out that a salary above the determined guidelines does not necessarily mean the family isnt in need of such exemptions. While the guidelines will be established, Vernon emphasized the exemptions are not automatic. "People will only receive exemptions upon application, said Vernon. He stressed that families who feel they may qualify should contact Roosevelt City for the exemptions. And while exemptions may be obtained by a number of people, the City Administrator said the amount of the ememptiona awarded will depend upon the particular situation of the family in question. Vernon said the exemptions would probably not affect the overage on the water charges. He said this may encourage people to use more water than they normally would because Deseret G 8i T entities in the Uintah Basin. The truth is that the total payments in Rio In an effort to help relieve "needy residents of Roosevelt of the entire impact of monthly utility rates, the City Council Monday took action which Continued from page 1 have been made available and Deseret has purchased 42 mobile homes for homes rental.

Ashby said it was also d of the workers found about who were imported were living in Jensen, some located in Dinosaur, Colo., and the balance in the Vernal area. Because of the expected influx of workers, Deseret has proposed mitigation payments to various politi-icone-thir- one-thir- al entities. said these payments are part of the overall proposal made in the Environmental Impaet Statement, and Included in the construction budget. "Articles have been written that implied that Deseret has paid more than $15 million to Rio Blanco County entities, said Merrill Millett, General Manager of Deseret G&T, "and that $12 to $20 million should be paid Ashjby Blanco will probably not exceed $5 million because impacts there are expected to be much less than projected by county planners. A like amount is projected for Uintah County payments. These figures are within budgeted amounts, and you should cover any direct impact caused by the construction project" Millett emphasized the position of Deseret that funds be allocated only to mitigate direct impacts caused by the project He pointed out that some entities are saying, "it isn't enough. "We are vitally interested in keeping costs as low as possible in order to protect our members and their consumers who will be purchassaid ing power from the plant, Millett "Any unnecessary payment would tend to further inflate power they are not paying for the water.

Olsen said the case was solved when officer John Gardner was investigating a battery theft on Tuesday. Detective Olsen said Gardner received a tip regarding a battery theft.
