  • New appointments needed for county boards


By Myrna Trauntvein

Juab County Commissioners need to replace or reappoint members to three different boards.

Gordon Young, Mona, asked two years ago to be released as a member of the Juab Water Conservancy District, said Wm. Boyd Howarth, commission chair.

"We still haven't named anyone to replace him on the board," he said.

In addition, Charles Jenkins and George Jackson, members of the board, are at the end of three-year appointed terms and must be reappointed, said Howarth.

On the Soil Conservation District Board three members are up for either reappointment or for replacement.

"I have talked with Lynn Esplin, Tom Goble, and Blake Garrett," said Howarth. Blake Garrett has indicated he no longer wants to serve."

Ken Ware, a member of the Juab County Planning Commission, resigned from the position effective Jan. 1, 2000.

"I hate to see Ken (Ware) leave the planning commission," said Glenn Greenhalgh. "He has been very good on the commission and has done a lot to contribute to the future of the county."

All of those who will not be returning as members of the three boards will receive letters of thanks for the work they have done and the time they have contributed.

Commissioners will consider replacements for the three members who do not want to return to the positions they have held for the past several years.

"We will make the appointments at commission meeting in the near future," said Howarth. "The item will be placed on the agenda in advance of the appointments being made."
