on the back page. The street map will include the Provo-Orem area. He is
currently working with other cities to be represented. It was noted that
this agreement will be paid out of the 1996 budget. The matter was referred
to Oct. 2 for final approval.
2. APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE DR. MINER TO SIGN THE TOBACCO FREE UTAH

approval of this matter in December of 1994. However, it was with conditions.
Those conditions have been met inclusive of the approval from UDOT. The
$2,000 bond has been recommended as sufficient by Clyde Naylor. The matter
was referred to Oct. 2 for final approval.

noted that there have been several calls to the commission in opposition
to this request. The matter was continued as requested.
5. AUTHORIZE JOB 008013 FOOD SERVICES SUPERVISOR, AT GRADE 15, TO
BE INCLUDED IN THE OFFICIAL UTAH COUNTY JOB DESCRIPTION
Mike Callahan explained that Dorothy Eardley, the kitchen supervisor
at the jail, is retiring. The kitchen has been under the direction of a
sergeant in the past. This will upgrade the position to include heavier
managing authority, as well as budgeting, etc. Sheriff Bateman stated that
the new jail facility will require different duties in this area, particularly
in the area of set up and purchase of equipment. He felt that including
the new person at this time would be a benefit to the county. Because of
the supervisory roll that will be needed in this position, Sheriff Bateman
indicated that they may, at some time, need to require certification. Commissioner
Herbert requested a copy of the previous job description for review. The
matter was referred to Oct. 2 for final approval.
As there were no further matters to be discussed, the meeting was adjourned.
Commissioner Herbert allowed 15 minutes for public comments.
Bruce Peacock explained that Orem City would like to rent the
voting booths and pick them up on Monday, Oct. 2. In the past, this has
been done by contract through the clerk's office. The attorney has requested
this be done formally in a commission meeting and carry the commissioners
signature. A standard agreement is used with the standard fee charged being
$5.00 per booth. Kent Sundberg approved the agreement as to form and recommended
the commission chairman sign the agreement and bring it back to regular
agenda on Oct. 2 for ratification. Mr. Sundberg will review the general
procedure for future contracts and make a recommendation.
Mr. Peacock further reported that the swearing in for the Timpanogos
Special Service District members is tentatively set for 5:00 p.m. on Sept.
28 in room 1400 of the Administration Building.
