The Family Practice Division at die University of Utah School of Medicine sponsors a one month Family Bactice Clerkship in which students select communities and family physicians in Utah and surrounding states to experience and observe medical care in the community setting. This program is part of an effort by the medical school to familiarize students with die way medicine is practiced outside of the University Medical Center and to encourage more students to consider preparing themselves for community practice as family physicians, especially in rural areas which are experiencing a shortage of Dhvsidans. Dr. Wain Allen said, When Silver Summit was developed, 71 acre feet was allotted for the development of 321 lots. Lot 34 slipped through the cracks, there is no water allocated for this lot. The Adkinson Board has taken the position that if the lot was sold, it would have to bring water to the water district The State Engineer would have to approve the paper water. While speaking with the Weber Basin Water, they stated it as Adkinson' s problem. Adkinson Water Company transferred to water district and ultimately only 70 lots were shown instead of 71. The map shown to the county commissioners shows all the lots: 71 lots on the map. The commitment by the Adkinson Water Co. was to serve Phase A Subdivision (reflected in die present approved map). Mr. Johnston feels that it should not be the responsibility of the owner of the lot The BCC gave die problem to die Deputy County Attorney, Franklin Anderson, to research die problem and give an op- Jeff Graham, planner for the developer of die Timberiine PUD, together with Kent Michie, of Smith Capital Markets, a division of Zions First National Bank, appeared before the BCC for the purpose of bonding for the production of water in the Timberline PUD. Jeff Graham seeking aid from the county; Timberiine is seeking to purchase 30 acre feet more from Summit Park and $455,000 has been granted with a payback of 20 years to purchase those rights; however, some type of guarantee is required. A new Improvement District is expected to be framed with Glen Thompson collecting the funds therefrom to pay on the loan. Thompson reports that the residents of Timberline have paid regularly on the prior loan. Kent Midlie was present as a possible braiding agent 'r for the loan. Michie described the Sj methods of securing the bonding to the commissioners suggesting that they guarantee the bonding and by doing so will make those bonds marketable and thereby creating a value which in turn reduces the interest rate (read cost) of the bonds. The cost for bonding services will cost the residents an additional $38,000 if the braiding is done in the contractor didnt do die job con , We have had several students over the past year. They have all been uniformly impressed with the friendliness rtf the people and the beauty of our area. They have also learned a lot of medicine. We express our appreciation to our patients allowing students to participate in their care. The school board, in conjunction with the Community Education Program, is offering a parenting class for anyone who is interested in learning skills that will help you help your child. Classes will be taught by several successful teachers and educators, including Dr. Littleford. This will be a course in raising children to 10-we- ek develop seven significant perceptions and skills which will and make them self-relia- nt successful. There is no charge for the class and materials and books will be furnished to the participants. It is a fun, exciting class with very real applications to help children through the maze of peer pressure, drugs and alcohol, and gang involvement The class is a highly recommended course for all parents. Classes begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays in the middle school media center. If you are interested in attending, contact the District office to register at 783-430- 1.

The county will, of course, be ultimately responsible. Note, however, resident assessment is not charged until the project actually comes in and is serviceable. If no water is found and a good portion of the monies are expended, then the residents of that service district are not taxed, the county is responsible for the payment Thats how it works in a guarantee scenario. According to Michie, die present bonding that occurs (though not in ours) are county guaranteed bonds which are maiketable and, therefore, bear the lowest interest rates. As the bonding lasts and the debt is reduced, there comes a period of time where the guarantee is lowered to be commensurate with the amount still due and owing on the bonding. The BCC will consider this mode of operation in special circumstances, not all. According to Commissioner Moser, the job of the county is to provide the services for its citizenry, such as roads, water, garbage collection, sewers, etc., but was reluctant for the county to bear the responsibility. A seminar will be put on by Mr. Michie to educate the public officials as well as members of the Special Service Districts, Special Improvement Districts on Oct. 29 at 10:30 a.m. at the Burns Fire Station in the Snyderville Basin, the usual manner. Special Improvement Acts were created to help communities finance where the project will be assessed out to residents. The county acts as a ministerial office to collect the funds and pay the bond. In this manner, the cost is $38,000; however, with the Guarantee Fund as opposed to Reserve Debt Service Bmd savings will be the item and due this time to foreseeable future; development needs for the nexT twenty years Michie suggests that this is a more profitable manner to proceed. In either case, the property owners are assessed for the payment of the improvement bond. If the county guarantees die braid, thereby reducing the interest rate, then the county is ultimately responsible if i Sheriffs Blotter Summit County Dispatch Center assigned 181 case numbers over the past two weeks.
