Robert Garrett, county road superintendent, suggested that he. the three commissioners. Nancy DeMille and Rex Rowley from the BLM, meet in a work session to discuss the Brush-Wellmroad which leads to the mine and the Cherry Creek road. Both roads are in Juab Countys West Desert. Brush-Wellmmine is located in Juab County and the ore processing plant is located in Millard County. According to Garrett, the Cherry Creek Road has a severe turn that needs some work. "BLM wants a new agreement signed before Juab County can repair the road." Garrett said. Notwithstanding the need for road upgrading and maintenance, said W. Boyd Howarth. commission chair, he wanted more an an information on the agreement requested by BLM between Juab County and the BLM. before signing it. "Personally. 1 would like to request you wait and see how Garfield Countys lawsuit turns out before you enter into an agreement." said David Leavitt, county attorney. He said the lawsuit between Garfield County and the BLM over the Burr Trail should be decided in a couple of months' time. Waiting would be in the best interests of Juab County. Garrett said he would like to check all alternatives before moving forward and asked if commissioners would meet in a work session with him to discuss n needed repairs to the road. "Crack sealing is die most inexpensive way to repair the road," he said. There were other alternatives, he said, which he would like to discuss with the commission before a decision is made.
