Submit the Postal service opens local hiring register on conference Myton Mayor Ludy Cooper recently attended the HUD conference in Denver, March 14 through March 17, in order to personally submit all of the necessary documents concerning the newly formed Northeastern Utah Housing Authority, for recognition from HUD. , She was able to talk to the Regional Administrator of HUD as well as many other Housing and Urban Development people that she believes will be ve helpfiil in getting the new housing authority recognised by HUD. During the four days of the workshops, almost all areas of housing were discussed and new legislation concerning them was Mayor Cooper atexplained. to cover all the workshops tempted dealing with housing authorities. She said, There is so much that ' we, here in the Uintah Basin, dont know about Housing Authorities and what their purpose is, so I tried really hard to get the information to bring back so I could explain and share it with others. Just exactly what a housing authority is...and how it can help our people.1 She said that many people have amisconception even shout the low income housing that Myton has been doing. Sane folks think we are importing people to live in our little housing projects. This is not the ease," she insisted. Cooper explained that all but one of the people living in their developments had been living in Myton all their lives. The housing projects have been a way ibr them to get a home of their own and not be shuffled from one rental to another.

Now, with block grant funds being diverted to projects other than housing; Cooper hoped that the new Northeastern Utah Housing Authority could fill the gap so that Myton could continue its rehabilitation projects as well as expand the program into Roosevelt. In Denver, Cooper learned that there is almost unlimited loan fluids for Rental Rehabilitation at S 12 to 5 interest, and she felt that this would be of interest to the owners of rental properties in the This is called the RRP program and can come through the city or the local housing authority. There is also a program for loan fluids for low income home owners at about the same interest. It is called the 312program. Cooper said that she looks for the main focus of the housing authority, after it is recognized by HUD, to be in the Section 8 certificate and the voucher programs. These programs help both the ten- - During the last few months our highway patrol troopers have been arresting a large number of viduals for driving under the influence of alcohol, but still we know there are some of these dangerous drivers that go undetected and thus are allowed to continue down the highway.

Block grant available for community Based on the population of the Uintah Basin, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) can supply a tidy sum of money to any community that applies and qualifies far it, says UBAG director Jerry Conley. This years allocs-tion, in the process of assignment now, is about $82,000.00 for Duchesne County. The yearly grant is a state fiind administered inour area by UBAG, and set up under these specific guidelines: the basic objective (of the fiinds applied for) must 1) alleviate problems of low or moderate income persons; 2) deal with an emergency or crisis situation that endangers safety or health; or 3) remove slum or blight conditions. ' Conley explained that the for thare i any community,;, - money Md the area of Dud- besne, Daggett, and Uintah Counties is allocated $251,000.00 this year. The UBAG board of directors, comprised of the county commissioners and mayors of the three ' counties, is in the process now of reviewing and ranking the applications they have received. Their top choices will be submitted to the state, where the ultimata decision will be made. The projects that are thus approved will get underway this summer, says Conley. Examples of prqjecta fiinded in this way in our area are the new Constitution Park restrooms, improvements to the county fairgrounds, housing in Myton, expansion on the convalescent center in Roosevelt, as well as various water and sewer prqjecta. Conley is encouraging entities in the area to start formulating plans now for the next years .
