were to be the responsibility of the Bureau for maintenance and
which were to be that of the County . He explained further
that he had a copy of an agreement which had been acceptable
to other Counties respecting this matter and as well the

ation . A meeting to be worked out latter to arrive at an
understanding regarding Road maintenance responsibilities .
As a second item, Mr Leishman adi•ised the Board that the

as to khat constituted contigious lands, the Commissioners

purpose of acquainting them with the major provisions
of the New Juvenile Court Legislation as passed by the
1965 Legislature, with special emphisis on portions
thereof affecting proceedure of the Sheriffs and Attorneys
Departments . He also asked that the Commissioners author-
ize the Sheriff to accept work assignments imposed as
sentences upon Juveniles by the Court . The Board there-
upon passed a Motion made by Commissioner Ivan Matheson,
seconded by Norman H . Day, approving the request .
RFSTHOME : At the request of Commissioner Day, the lease agreement
between Iron County and Ancel J . Adams covering the Iron
County Rest Home was brought up for review by the Board
and County Attorney, for the purpose of determining the
area of responsibility of the Lessor in connection with
the operation of the institution . The Attorney ruled
that the actual functional operation of the Home was the
responsibility of the Lessee and that quanity and type of
service was a matter to be agreed upon between the said Lessee
and the Patron, that the extent of the Lessors responsibility
was to see that the Lessee kept the physical properties
in a good state of repair .
46 JUNKET Sheriff Fife requested and received authorization to
send Roden Williams to Oregon to return a prisoner
being held there for Iron County .
POWER FRANCHISE : Mr . Glen T . Willard of the Gar-Kane Power Company
appeared to inquire as to what progress was being
made with respect to his request of June loth, for a
Franchise from Iron County to serve the Brian-Head
Ski area. He was advised by Chairman. Smith, that
the provisions as set forth in the present Franchise
were not acceptable but, proposed that County Attorney
Gardner be authorized to work with their Attorney in
drawing up one which they (the attorneys) would deem
to be acceptable to both parties and present it for
consideration of the Board of Iron County Commissioners
on July 19th . Based upon Mr . Willards statement that
this arrangement would be acceptable to Gar-Kane, a
motion was passed, made by Ivan Matheson and seconded
by Norman H . Day to the effect that this be the action
taken .
Mr . Bert Nichols inquired of the Commission as to prog-
ress of the Power Franchise application of the Gar-Kane
Power Company and was advised of the information given
to Mr. Willard. He also asked to be informed as to the
possibility of Road improvement in the Brian-Head Ski
Resort Area. His attention was called to the provisions
of the Zoning Ordanance wherein it provides that County
Responsibility does not commence until 10'/ of a subdiv-
ision is occupied or until such time as other factors
might in the judgement of the Commission warrant action
of this nature on their part . 47
INDIGENT MATTER : The County was presented with a $$2,026 .35 bill covering i medical care for Navajo Indians who had been brought in
off the Reservations as a work force largely in the Escal-
ante Valley area, Inc as much as budgeted funds were not
available to cover this item, and in as much as it would
appear as a matter of equity that either the Federal Govern-
ment or the parties responsible for removing these Indians
from the Reservations should assume the responsibility, it
was suggested that one of our congressional delegation be
contacted to see if something could not be worked out in
the matter .
i ROAD : A request had been made through Chairman Smith for the
installation of a Cattle Guard on the Road from Webster
Flat to Three Creeks . After some deliberation among the
Commissioners and consultation with Supervisor Pace, it
was concluded that in-as-much as this was a Forest Road,
it should be a Forest Service responsibility .
A request came in from Mr . Gentry channeled through the
Beaver County Commission for improvement of the Freemont
Road . Since, with the exception of Deer Season, it is
largely Beaver Residents who use the Road, the Board con- t cluded to offer Beaver County a maintenance exchange, the
Freemont Road for a Hamlin Valley Road located in Beaver
County which serves largely Iron County Residents . Further
action on the matter was deferred until reaction to this
proposal could be obtained .
Osmer K . Neilson and D . Robinson of Parowan, Utah discussed
with the Board and Road Supervisor, J . A. Pace, the possib-
ility of securing assistance from the County in improving
the Summit Mountain Road. After problems of the County in
meeting all its Road problems had been aired as well as those
related to the Road itself, Supervisor Pace agreed to meet
48 them and Survey the area with the thought in mind of i either finding a route for constructing a new Road to
by-pass the worst area or a solution for improving it
in its present location . Following the discussion, Mr .
Pace was encouraged by the Commission to try to find a
means of providing assistance needed .
MICROFILMING : Mr . Dan Robinson called on the Board to discuss with
them the possibility of obtaining a modification or
amendment to the agreement which he has with Iron County
on the matter of Microfilming . He had previously agreed
to do the programed Microfilming of the County for a copy
of the-film for his private use with no rights of repro-
duction or sale . He explained that thus far this arrange-
ment had been costing him considerable and asked that the
Commissioners modify the arrangement providing for certain
specified portions of sales the County Recorder makes of
any of these films . The Commission tabled the matter
pending a discussion with the County Attorney .
APPLICATION TO PURCHASE : Application of Jack R . Neese of 5001 Regency Street, Salt
Lake City, Utah to purchase property described as, Lot 10,
Sec . 30, Twp . 35 South, Range 12 West STAR&M, was rejected
by the Board .
TOURISTS AND PUBLICITY : Mr . G . L . Pulsipher, assistant Director of Utah Tourist &
Publicity Council, met with the Board for purpose of explain-
ing the objectives of their program and their desire to coop-
erate and coordinate their program with Counties and other
local units .
TEASE ASSIGNMENT A request was received from Ray Thomas for the Assignment
of a lease Iron County Holds with Heber M. Sevy covering
the E"/zNE"/4 of Section 26, Twp . 35 South, Range 18 West, 49
SLB&M. On motion of Commissioner Matheson, Seconded by
