County commission notes Because the board of directors of Central Valley Medical Center, Inc., have not notified the Juab County Commission of their decision on whether or not to accept a gift of land from a citizen, the commission postponed making a decision on whether to sell or give the county hospital plant to CVMC. A public hearing was held last month (by the commission), and after the hearing, the James Painter family offered four acres of prime land four blocks to the north of the present facility. The land will be a gift only if the hospital board of directors decide to build a new facility. Commissioners were asked at the time to postpone any decision the commission might make to find out what the hospital board would like to do. According to the commission, the board of directors had asked to be given the time to explore the possibilities. Juab County Commissioners agreed to allow Special Service District No. 1 to use the $5,000 placed in the budget for the district at the beginning of the budget year 1995. The special service district is responsible for the upkeep of the historic jail, and the DUP museum and county cultural center. After not having participated in the East Juab Water Con servancy District Cloud Seeding project for several years, the county commissioners agreed to participate this year as a cost effective way of increasing the water supply. Juab County Commissioners discussed at length, the possibility of holding a public election to sec if the public would support a special service fire district. The commission directed David Leavitt, county attorney, to research the law, recently changed by the state legislature, concerning the holding of such elections, the forming of special service districts, and the obtaining of liability insurance for personnel. The commission held a special meeting with fire departments of incorporated areas and were directed by those community representatives to form a special service district. "In order to obtain a Community Impact Board loan, there has to be a fire district in the county," said Commissioner Gordon Young. According to a new state law, the commission could form a special service district, but the district would not be able to levy taxes unless an election were held. County Attorney David Leavitt was asked to research the new law and report the results at the next commission meeting. Commissioners approved an approximate $1,800 remodeling plan for some storage in the county building. According to Bob Day, buildings superintendent, his supplies keep disappearing from where they are currently stored. Under the plan, a landing and stairway, with storage underneath stairway and one door under the stairway will be built.
