Colonel Gary Gunrud, the Assistant Superintendent of the Department of Public Safety. Hoe is a portion of that letter Dear Chairman Schifferii: Governor Michael O. Leavitt received die July 1, 1998 letter and resolution from the Summit County Board of Commissioners and the petition and signature sheets from the residents of Summit County regarding the safety of State Highways 224 and 228. Governor Leavitt forwarded a copy of these documents to me and asked that I respond directly to you. The Utah Highway Patrol administration shares your concern with the traffic safety problems being experienced on these particular state highways. Unfortunately, similar problems are being experienced in other areas of the state as welL Thecmrenf reconstruction of in Salt Lake County hu placed tremendous additional demands upon our already limited field resources. Even though the Utah Legislature give us several new troopers, there just wasn't enough of them to meet the justifiable needs we have aronnd the state. However, LL Bsrdell Hamilton hu been your case fbr some time now and we have taken an action that we believe will help the situation somewhat until additional troopers become available. Beginning July 1, 1998, we transferred responsibility fbr Morgan Cointy from Section Seven '(your area) to Section Two (Weber County). It is our beliefi and that of LL Hamilton, that this action win improve the ability of the troopers to provide coverage of the highways in Summit and Wasatch Counties because their patrol area size has been significantly reduced. We are also hopeful that future legislative sessions will authorize and fund additional new troopers, thereby giving us the personnel we need to meet expectations such . right-of-wa- ay .

Although the best solution may be to add on to the newly constructed Justice Center, that may not be the easiest. If die state were to fund the project, there may be n two to three year delay before construction could begin, which is too king considering the growing cases in the county. The cost would be a major factor if the county were to foot die bill At a cost estimate of $130 to $170 per square foot, the total cost fbr the first phase of construction would be dose to $1 million. Even though the cost may seem high, the county may be able to use state money to fund the project through various lease agreements, while at the same time maintaining ownership of the building. More detailed studies need to be made along with more discussions, including public hearings, before anything is determined. yours. Sincerely, . ay BEE EDITOR u ; J) has begun looking into plans to construct additional court facilities. The question is, where should the new building be built, Coalville or Silver Creek? The answer seems simple when considering the minute amount of land left near the Courthouse in Coalville. The County Commissioners said Monday, July 20, that they dont want to acquire land from neighboring residents if they don't have to. Yet because a certain amount of cases must be heard at the County Seat, something may need to be done to fortify and add security to the Coalville court by James Powell 15 right-of-wa- y 10-8-- 38 Because of this, both civil and criminal cases have been heard at the courts in Silver Creek, creating a back log of cases including those of juvenile court. . This can only be considered a temporary solution because the back log will just get too large in a matter of yean. To solve the problem permanently, the county - a request for more Utah Highway Patrol officers to make rounds in the area.
