Tooele broadcaster for $90000 was approved by the Ogden City Board of Education Monday night Hie station was purchased from a private operator in 1962 for $170000 and operated for years on Channel 9 with an educational television license Because of non-use the license expired last October The sale came on a 4-1 vote with board member Spencer Klomp in dissent With four supporting votes required the decisive vote came from Board President Glen Hoilev The law requires that in the disposal of real property a school board must have at least a two-thirds vote in favor That would mean three votes would not be sufficient SALE TERMS The successful bid came from Wendell Winegar operator of radio station KBYL in Tooele Terms included $10000 down with the remainder to be paid over a 10 year period at a 9 per cent interest rate Mr Winegar said he will operate the station as an educational television station as part of a broadcasters' school Supt William Garner said contacts have already been made on the license with the Federal Communications Commission and apparently no difficulties should be met LITTLE CHANCE Mr Winegar said he will keep the station in operation here and that he sees little chance of getting a license to operate commercially In making its decision to sell after years of dickering with an assortment of prospective buyers the board passed over an offer from the operators of radio station KSXX of Salt Lake City who had offered a total of $23500 over a 10 year period for the transmitter facilities at Little Mountain only Mr Winegar said he might be willing to lease transmitter facilities for the FM radio station KSXX wants to operate COMPLETE PACKAGE The Winegar purchase package was for the complete facilities owned by the Ogden district The board also had before it a $50000 offer from a Salt Lake City businessman for both station and transmitter Mr Klomp before the sale was concluded asked if efforts had been made to contact outside interests in making a sale Dr Gerald Raat assistant superintendent said contacts had been made with brokers in Beverly Hills Calif Chicago and Dallas but they expressed little interest in a station no longer licensed Dr Garner said he believed all reasonable effort had been put into getting the best price possible and that he felt pessimistic about getting additional offers He said the district administration would be glad to see the station sold because it had become a consumer of considerable time in working with prospective buyers and in stationing a maintenance man there the Area Council Mr Shirra explained each municipality in the county agreed to a multigovernment or area council approach to the water quality study The Salt Lake Council of Governments cities and the commission have contracted with the EPA for an $800000 Jordan Basin water quality management study Mr Shirra said he did not know how much the federal contract for the proposed Weber Basin study would cost But local governments in areas that do not follow EPA guidelines on water quality management may be prohibited from getting federal assistance on their respective water or water treatment projects he added If Davis County decides Friday it will not join in estabhsMng a water council Mr Storey said he did not know what Weber County will do cross that road when funded The Area Council also directed the County Commission to pursue the means for effecting the study even though it may result in Weber County administering it alone Morgan Commissioner Dale Thurston said his county would not be a part of a multigovernment water quality management council CONTROL SOURCES The study as prescribed by federal authorities would result in controls on sources of pollution and bring waste water treatment up to certain standards by 1984 There is no immediate water pollution problem in Morgan County Commissioner Thurston said If a problem develops the Morgan people will handle it not downstream users in Weber or Davis he asserted A water quality planning council will have enforcement powers but Mr Storey believes ATTORNEY FEES UP PLEASANT VIEW City attorney Robeit Echard has told the City Council here his fee effective Jan 1 will be an overall $35 an hour Formerly he charged $35 for in-court time and $25 for out-of-court work In order for Weber State College to comply with its commitments as an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) institution an Affirmative Action program has been adopted The Affirmative Action program is committed to a fair employment policy in hiring compensations benefits

powers cannot be held by we get to he said The proposed Weber Basin water quality study has been placed in doubt following Morgan refusal to participate and a Weber opposition As a result disagreements may bring a confrontation between the Weber County Commission and the Weber Area Council of Governments upon which a commissioner serves along with mayors or townboard presidents and other elected officials Commissioner Boyd Storey remains adamant in his opposition to awarding any federal contract to the Area Council such as is proposed for administration of a water quality management study DECIDES THURSDAY Mr Storey said the study can be pursued jointly by Davis and Weber County The Davis Council of Government meets Thursday to decide if it will participate In Davis a county commissioner always heads the Council of Governments In Weber Ogden City Councilman Karl 0 Macfarlane is chairman A commissioner Mr Storey explained is elected countywide to represent all the people and he still doubts the legal authority by which the Wteber Area Council can act But Graham Shirra Area Council administrator and county planning director said the county commissioners have no enforcement powers over cities on zoning and planning LISTS REASONS That is why Mr Shirra said the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations limit contracts for water quality studies to multigovernment agencies or councils The Weber Area Council Friday approved the study being handled by the County Commission but a ruling from regional offices in Denver Colo Monday said the commission alone cannot be Ford Nominates Officer At Hill for Second Star DISTRICT RECEIVES FUNDS FOR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS A grant of between $25000 and $35000 for community schools received by the Ogden

approved by the Ogden City Board of Education A follow-up grant of as much as $250000 may be awarded for the 1975-78 school year Dr Raat said Grants of the same size are going to the Weber District First efforts will be to train more staff members for the community school program and get more coordinators preparing for the next school year 1 Dr Raat said selection of the two neighboring
