There were 14 members from all communities in the District on the committee. The purpose of this committee was to examine existing problems and future needs in the District and make recommendations for change to the board. After several months of work, visiting various schools, talking to educators, students and parents, the group made several significant recommendations to the school board. The recommendations fell into two general categories: 1. Educational Programs: the recommendation to include, or and recomadd, if mendation to improve some existing programs. 2. Physical Structures and Facilities: The recommendation non-existe- that a new elementary school be constructed to replace the present one was at the top of the list. It should be noted that the purpose of the Citizen's Advisory Committee was not to establish policy, but rather to make recommendations. It is the intent of the school board to draw up a ten year master plan using the recommendations of the committee and citizen input. It should also be noted that the board has not yet completed the master plan, or made a decision as to whether or not a new building will be constructed. Public meetings are currently being held throughout the district to receive comments and suggestions from citizens. The school district presently owns no property except that area in Coalville commonly known as School House Hill.' The area covers roughly 12 - SUMMIT REPORT TICKETS ON SALE FOR GULLS OPENER Tickets are now on sale at Derks Field for the Salt Lake Gulls season opener on Tuesday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. The Gulls open the season with a three game series at home against the Tucson Toros before hitting the road for 11 games.

For that reason, construction of a new elementary school would probably necessitate the purchase of additional property. According to Dr. Darryl White, North Summit School Superintendent. the original part of the elementary school was constructed in 1936 and is beginning to deteriorate rapidly. This has resulted in excessive maintenance and utility costs. The four room ' addition, which was built in I960, is in better condition but too small. Using available statistics, it appears certain the present facility will be too small by the 1982-8- 3 school year. The school district has estimated the cost of a new elementary school at S2.500.000. The state board of education recommends an allowance of 74 square feet per student as a guide for establishing estimated school size. Current construction costs for a school building run $43 per square foot on up. Allowing for inflation, the board has set a figure of $53 per square foot. Using the formula of square footage requirements for projected ten year growth at the $53 per square foot cost and allowing the money estimated to be needed to purchase property, the board see MEETINGS on 2 Attorney implicates Matheson in motion suffered by John Singer to have come from the single shotgun blast, but instead the wounds Gov.

The April 3 SNOTEL update indicates good improvement by recent storms bringing the basin snow cover total up to about 73 percent of the April I average using only SNOTEL sites. Precipitation at mountain stations during March was the best it has been this year and ranged from 1 16 to 180 percent of average on the Weber Drainage. Heavy precipitation during March brought the total up to around 70 to 100 percent on the Weber. Reservoir Storage is above average as a result of a good year last year. Rockport is 147 percent (47,700 acre feet). Echo is 121 percent (61,300 acre feet), East Canyon is 137 percent (39,600 acre feet) and Lost Creek is 133 percent (17,400 acre feet) and all are expected to fill. Streamflow forecasts are now 70 percent (73,000 acre feet) for Weber at Oakley. Other Weber River forecasts in Summit County are: Rockport Inflow 63 percent (71,000 acre feet), at Coalville 34 percent (67,000 acre feet).
