Commissioners disagree over Green River judge position Continued from Page A1. on the position was affected by several people in the county who were telling him that, “we do not need a J. P. here.” Kofford continued saying, “When you say you need a judge in here, you don’t.” Green River Councilmember Karen Silliman commented that the next training for the judge’s position would occur in September, with the next training not occurring until February 2009, so were the commissioners not to fill the position, technically, the judge could not take the position until then. Kofford expressed, “All I’m asking is to give it a try for a few months. Let’s hang on and see what happens. I personally think that we can make it work.” Horrocks explained that he “is not against putting in a judge,” but said that there are a lot of issues they have to consider, especially the county budget. He described the budget as “quite a complex operation,” and then reiterated what he had said earlier about the Commissioners’ decision. “We disagree. He’s not going to change and I’m not going to change, so consequently, we’re at a stalemate.” The commissioners also addressed a request from the Green River Boy’s and Girl’s club for assistance in purchasing and maintaining a new van for the organization. Several club representatives explained the importance of the boy’s and girl’s club to local youth, and the many activities it provides each year. They also reported the city council had already committees to assist in the purchase. Kofford explained that the commissioners would have to look further into the request because the usual donation the commission can grant is $250, and the club would need much more than that amount in order to acquire the van. He suggested that they also look at other options for the club. The development lease with the Utah State Institutional Trust Lands Administration for an industrial park near Green River was also discussed. The issue has brought an outcry with the recent news that one of the industries considering the park is a nuclear power company. At a previous meeting, the commission had considered a draft of a development lease with SITLA, and had declined signing the document because of several issues they wanted to be clarified. During the August 19 meeting, Emery County Economic Development Director, Mike McCandless explained that those issues had been resolved, and along with County Attorney David Blackwell, encouraged the commission to move forward with the agreement by signing the development lease. McCandless maintained what he has said from the beginning, stating there will be “no cost to the tax payers of Emery County” in the development. He reported the county will not have to pay for any improvements to the property. “Everything is triggered by what the developers decide to do,” he said. “Our job is to coordinate.” Several people in attendance expressed concerns about the companies which would locate to the industrial park. Sarah Fields stated, “I hope that Emery County does not deeply commit itself to the project without looking into everything.” McCandless expressed that he wished people wouldn’t spend so much time worrying about a few companies which may not be as well looked upon as others. He assured those in attendance, that along with companies which for some were less appealing, he has been contacted by a number of companies which would be more “exciting opportunities.” The commissioners elected to move forward with the lease and encouraged the community to attend a public hearing on rezoning the area on Sept. 10, at 7 p.m. in the Green River City Hall. Emery County Personnel Director, Mary Huntington, also approached the commissioners to approve the hiring of Shannon Hiatt as a full-time aquatic center manager and Jim Gordon as a part-time Ambulance supervisor. She also revealed that the Recreation Board had approved Gaylee Jeffs to take over as Recreation Director. The commissioners approved the hires.
