1. APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE COMMISSION CHAIRMAN TO SIGN AN ADVERTISING AGREEMENT WITH MOSHER-ADAMS, INC IN AN AMOUNT OF $2,500.00 FOR ADVERTISING SPACE IN THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MAPS FOR 1996
Michael Mack explained that this is somewhat different from other advertising contracts in that it will be a tourism and travel map with county advertising 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 CONTRACT
Clark Swenson stated that, due to the outstanding work done by Pat Tucker in this area, the county has been given a $4,000 increase in funding. Utah County has the lowest percent of smokers in Utah. The matter was referred to Oct. 2 for final approval.
 
3. APPROVE MAPLE HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION, PLAT "A"; DEDICATE MAPLETON SLANT ROAD; AND ACCEPT IMPROVEMENT BOND OF $2,000.00
Jeff Mendenhall explained that the planning commission actually recommended 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.
 
4. APPROVE BROADLAND PROPERTIES WEST MOUNTAIN RANCHES, PLAT "A"; ACCEPT DEDICATION OF COUNTY ROAD; AND ACCEPT BOND AGREEMENT AND BOND IN THE AMOUNT OF $407,240.59
The applicant requested the matter be continued to Monday, Oct. 2 to allow time for needed information to be submitted. Commissioner Herbert 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.
