The Park Record from Park City, Utah • 9

Saturday June 29, 1996 The Park Record A-9 From the High court limits remedies for tenants SALT LAKE CITY (AP)-Tenants evicted from unsafe housing by health or building-code inspectors are not entitled to government help under Utah's Relocation Assistance Act, the Utah Supreme Court has ruled. Renters also cannot sue their landlords for substandard housing under the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act, according to the opinion written by Chief Justice Michael D. Zimmerman. However, the 1990 Utah Fit Premises Act does allow tenants to demand improvements and eventually sue if nothing is done, Justice Richard C. Howe said in a concurring opinion.

The justices ruled in an appeal by two families evicted from unsafe apartments in South Salt Lake in April 1993. Moroni and Susan Carlie and their son and Deena Poulsen and her daughter were left temporarily homeless. Both families later won small judgments for back rent and expenses from the apartment owner, Daryl McDonald. He was found to have breached an implied warranty that the premises were habitable. However, one judge dismissed the families' claims for relocation assistance from the government and another judge dismissed their attempts to sue McDonald under the consumer practices act.

The justices upheld both decisions. While other states have amended their relocation acts to help displaced families in wider circumstances, Utah's act remains targeted at assisting residents when their property is taken by government, Zimmerman wrote. Attorney Bruce M. Plenk, who represented the two families, said the court's interpretation of the act leaves an important issue unresolved. "Who is responsible for helping tenants who are the victims of unscrupulous landlords if the city or county puts them out on the street?" Plenk asked.

Valid through Jury 1,1998 By Robert Macy ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER LAS VEGAS (AP) Sands Hotel owner Sheldon Adelson says a new $1.5 billion resort he plans on the Las Vegas Strip will carry a Venetian theme. The Sands, which opened 44 years ago and became a Las Vegas landmark, closes Sunday. It will be demolished this fall to make way for the new resort.

Adelson told The Associated Press he has not decided on a name for his new resort, but said the Sands name will be connected with the property in some fashion. He called Sunday's closing bittersweet. "The Sands was the first property I stayed in when I first came here in the 1960s," Adelson said Tuesday. "I appreciate the fact it's part of the persona of Las Vegas. I'm sorry we have to tear the Sands down, but it's no longer competitive" because of its age and the pro PREMIER REALTY 649-4400 liferation of new megaresorts here.

"Time has to march on." Adelson said the new resort will be comprised of 6,000 suites and will also include a shopping mall. "Inside the mall, there will be canals, and gondolas floating up and down the mall," Adelson said, giving the first hint of his new project. Adelson said he signed a contract last week with The Rouse Company of Columbia, Md. to co-develop the shopping mall. The Rouse Company recently purchased the Las Vegas-based Howard Hughes Corporation for $520 million.

The new resort will be built in two phases, Adelson said, with work beginning on the first 3,000 suites in November or December. "It will be very unique in that it will appear as two separate hotels from the front, but will operate as one from the back," Adelson. He said the hotel will be the largest in the world. state," said Miller spokesman Steve Tompkins. Troopers provide protection for the governor, the lieutenant governor and the speaker of the House.

The troopers, who accompany the two ACOG leaders throughout the day, are still employed by the State Patrol and Ga.

A.G. questions need for bodyguards SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The Downtown Alliance has opposed a provision of the concealed guns law that some have interpreted as allowing permit holders to carry guns into schools, churches and businesses regardless of the property owners' wishes.

The alliance's position reflects an unreasoned paranoia about firearms, said Scott Engen of the Utah Shooting Sports Council. He said concealed-weapons permit holders have not been committing crimes. "Based on the record, the level of threat or endangerment is zero," he said. He said barring gun-toters from premises was a form of discrimination comparable to religious or racial bigotry.
