WILDERNESS TASK FORCE
The San Juan County Task Force on Wilderness will be meeting on Thursday, June 26, 1986. L. Robert Anderson has agreed to serve as chairman of the task force under appointment of the county commission. Bill Howell, executive director of SEU-AOG, will attend this meeting to assist the task force in preparing written responses on the wilderness proposals.
OLYMPUS INSURANCE AGENCY
The Commission received a check from Olympus Insurance Agency for $6873.25. This is a refund to the county for the auto and liability insurance that was cancelled in January 1986 but had been paid in full.
MONTEZUMA CREEK SWIMMING POOL - SNO-CONE
Leonard Howe asked the Commission if he could set up a sno-cone machine and sell at the Montezuma Creek swimming pool. The Commission discussed whether the county's lease with the Tribe gave permission for this. The Commission decided not to oppose letting Mr. Howe sell at the pool and let him work out any problems there may be with the Tribe.
ELECTED OFFICIALS MEETING - Tax Rates
Gail D. Johnson - clerk presented to the Commission the county's total assessed valuations and the
proposed tax rates. The Commission discussed the certified tax rates with the other elected officials.
The Commission will hold a public hearing next week to open the budget and set the tax rates.
Rigby Right - sheriff told the Commission he needed to buy a bar light for the new car. Mr. Wright said
he will get bids before purchasing one.
Mary Lou Mosher - recorder gave the Commission the acreage that is in the proposed Spanish Valley
Annexation. The total acreage is 17,729. 15,831 is government, 1,762 is private, and 136 acres belong to
Grand County.
Barbara Montella - assessor said everything was fine in her department.
Marian Bayles - treasurer said everything was going fine.
LAW ENFORCEMENT COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT - FOREST SERVICE
Commissioner Bailey made the motion to approve two cooperative agreements between the U.S. Forest Service and San Juan County and authorized Commissioner Black to sign them. One is that San Juan County agrees to furnish personnel with equipment to adequately patrol National Forest Land and the other is San Juan County has the authority to enforce the state and local laws for San Juan County on such lands and waters. Commissioner Holliday seconded it. UNANIMOUS.
RECORDING CONTRACTS, DEEDS, ETC,
Commissioner Bailey said he would like the clerk to search for all of the county's contracts, right of ways, quit-claim deeds, etc. and make sure they are recorded in the recorder's office. And that all deeds in the future are recorded.
KILNS - SHELTERED WORKSHOP
The county kilns were sold to the Sheltered Workshop/San Juan Center for $1600.
COUNTY EQUIPMENT - FIRE CONTROL
Commissioner Bailey said the sheriff's office called the road department this morning and asked when the county equipment was going to be sent to the fire at Boulder Point. The BLM wanted to use the county's cat to fight the fire. The Commission discussed what the policy is on this between the county and the BLM. The Commission would like to meet with the BLM, State Fire Warden, and the Forest Service to review the agreements they have with the county.
INSPECTION STATION
Commissioner Bailey said the road department will be getting the inspection station back sixty days from the day it was suspended.
BLM AGREEMENT - WEED MEETING
Commissioner Holliday reported on the weed meeting that was last Wednesday night. The BLM has agreed to fund sane money to help fight the weeds on BLM land. The BLM will provide some help if Jim Heaton, county weed supervisor, will supervise them. The Commission instructed Mr. Heaton to supervise the help.
MONTICELLO - CULVERT WATER DRAINAGE at hospital
Commissioner Bailey said the road department is going to work on the intersection below the hospital. Commissioner Bailey said they are planning to build a catch basent at end of the gutter and run a twelve-inch pipe down behind past by Gary Young's. The school district owns the land behind Bud Rasmussen's place where the water runs in the ditch. The county is responsible for this water runoff because it comes from the hospital parking area sprinkling system. Commissioner Bailey feels that the county should pay 70% of the costs and the school district pay 30%. Commissioner Black said he feels the pipe should be larger then twelve-inch to prevent clogging.
COUNTY ROAD YARD FENCING - SUPERIOR FENCE COMPANY
Commissioner Bailey said the road department received two bids for partial fencing at the county road yard in Monticello. Superior Fence Co. quoted for fencing material and labor at $7156.00 and a company out of Farmington quoted $8400.00 (both bids included the razor top). Mr. John Fogg, Superior Fence Co., made a proposal to replace all of the chain-link fence at the yard for $18,000. Commissioner Bailey said he would like to go ahead and have the yard newly fenced with the razor top and to save the 11-gauge fencing material for the Montezuma Creek road shed. Commissioner Bailey made the motion to approve the new fence and Commissioner Holliday seconded it. UNANIMOUS.
UNDC - TOLLY LAMEMAN
Tully Lameman, UNDC, met with the Commission. Mr. Lameman asked if Rick Bailey, Administrative Assistant, had done anything about distributing commodities on the reservation. The Commission said they would have Rick Bailey get in touch with him next week.
Wilderness Task Force - Mr. Lameman said UNDC had been contacted to serve on the county's task force on wilderness. Mr. Lameman said that Herb Clah and Jonas Mustache said they would not have much time to work on this task force but someone will be appointed.
Road Projects - Mr. Lameman asked how the road project to Piute Farms was going and what the cost will be. Conmissioner Bailey said they are planning to work on this road and will bill the Tribe every quarter. Mr. Lameman asked if the county had received the permit from the Tribe for materials for the Aneth to Ismay road. Conmissioner Bailey said they received the permit and will continue working on this road.
Budget - The UDIA board cut the budgets for 1986/1987 by 20%. The UDIA board set the budgets for UNI, The San Juan Center, and UNDC. All projects have to be separately presented to the board by each chapter on a special project basis. Mr. Lameman said he is concerned about the road projects since their budget was cut. Commissioner Bailey explained that the county has a cooperative road agreement with the Tribe for the reservation. The county puts these roads on their "B" road program which helps with the funding and UNDC participates by paying 25% of the costs. This has enabled the county to double the amount of road work done on the reservation. The county intends to continue this road program, but it will curtail if UNDC does not participate.
RESOLUTION 1986-5 - UTAH ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES - FINANCE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT An agreement and resolution for membership in the Utah Counties Finance Cooperative Agreement was approved on the motion of Commissioner Bailey and authorized Commissioner Black to sign it. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Holliday. UNANIMOUS.

FIVE-COUNTY MASTER PLAN
Commissioner Black said a five-county master plan draft has been published. Carl Eisemann wrote a response on this that was real good.
Department Of Energy - ENRICHMENT
Commissioner Black said he received a letter from Bob Beverly of Umetco. The letters says Judge Karigan of the 10th District Court in Denver, in an attempt to expedite action by the Department of Energy of his order issued last September, plans to issue an order hauling DOE enrichment of foreign uranium. This should persuade the DOE that the Judge is serious and also encourage the utilities and DOE to give more thought of support to Senator Domeneci's new proposed bill on Uranium Revitalization and Tailings Reclamation Act.

lot of soil and wheat samples were sent to the state. Mr. Keyes said he is enjoying meeting with the
people on their farms and helping them.
Fairgrounds - Mr. Keyes asked who was in charge of the fairgrounds. The Commission said it is usually
done on a volunteer basis. Mr. Keyes said the 4-H would like to work on cleaning it up. Commissioner
Bailey said the road department would help if they are notified in advance.
Junior Livestock - Mr. Keyes said he would like to work with the Junior Livestock Show. Mr. Keyes feels
the show should be held the same time as the county fair. Commissioner Holliday said he would talk to
