Juab County Commissioners signed a resolution to reappoint Dr. Michael Peterson to the Central Utah Public Health Board.

Peterson has served on the board for the past few years. His new appointment will be for four years, said Wm. Boyd Howarth, commission chair.

"He has served faithfully in the past," said Howarth.

When Robert Steele, commissioner, made the motion to appoint Peterson to continue with the Central Utah Public Health Board, he made the appointment effective on Jan. 1, 2000.

"His previous term expired on Dec. 31, 1999," said Steele. "But his reappointment needs to begin on Jan. 1."

The commission did not meet in a regular meeting between Dec. 20, 1999, and Jan. 3, 2000.

•Juab County is in compliance with all postings concerning employees and their notification of legal issues which are required.

"We received a notification from the state and federal governments that a list of items should be posted in certain public places," said Pat Ingram, county clerk.

She said she and Wm. Boyd Howarth, commission chair, took the list and went to all the places the notices should be posted. "We were already in compliance and so we did not need to make any changes."

Those who would like to review the postings can check on the bulletin board outside the clerk's office. Other postings are at offices not located inside the county building, such as the county road department shed.

•Juab County Commissioners agreed to financially contribute to the hiring of a multi-county analyst who works with the Utah Association of Counties.

"In 1992, each member county agreed to pay a proportionate share to have the analyst who watches actions taken by the state tax commission, looking out for our interests, as far as centrally-assessed property is concerned," said Shirl Nichols, county assessor.

The money, Juab's share, comes from dues paid to the UAC trust. Those dues of $1,900 are paid annually.

"Brent Gardner, director of the UAC, assured me in a letter that the benefits of having an analyst working for our interests far outweighs the cost to our county," said Nichols.

The money, part of the dues paid each year, is already in the county budget. The approval was made to allow part of the dues the county pays go for the analyst's wages for the year 2000.
