"They've had the permits to start the station for nearly four years," he said. 4They haven't done anything with it yet" Once the station begins broadcasting, KCCZ will vie for affiliation with ABC, CBS or both.

For the most, part, council members laid the ground work for several issues still i under consideration. In the sole motion passed all evening, the council approved a clarification regarding the location and purpose of a reserved right-of-way pertaining to a deed of North Mam property to Peterson Oil of Richfield.

Councilman Paul Lyman up- dated the council regarding public response to the proposed road development project in southwest crossing Main Street during rush hour traffic, with passing motorists watching displays instead of the street," said Councilman Alan Hamlin.

The motion to allow vendors on the street passed with the stipulation that vendors be restricted to the west side of the intersection only. A zoning ordinance called R-3-36 was approved following a brief public hearing. R-3-36 is the same ordinance as the old R-3 (high density residential) zone, the only difference being the name change. Councilman Scott Rasmussen reported that he met with UDOT regional supervisor J.R. Chamber-Iain regarding the elimination of parking on Main Street, and the problem will be studied further.

The street is a state highway under state jurisdiction. The UDOT had planned to remove on-street parking between Center Street and 600 South and repaint 1 the lanes in June. However, a committee of businessmen oppose re-' Nevada hospitals file funding lawsuit teams battled on Wednesday (Spectrum J.P. Nielson) moving the parking.

The suit names state Human Weather Richfield. "I've yet to have anybody come to me and say this is ludicrous," said Lyman. "I'm not hearing any negative." The council encouraged added public input and set aside a portion of the May 14 meeting for formal comment. Those residents interested in discussing the road project with city officials are encouraged to attend the 8 p.m. discussion period.

In addition, Kim Blackburn of the Sevier Valley Applied Technological Center outlined the center's potential role in the road project and presented information regarding a secondary water system for the institution. City Administrator Woody Farnsworth indicated large- and small-scale options for the water system. "Maybe we ought to go into a larger project and clear up the whole situation," said Farnsworth, who suggested the city combine the water project with the proposed road development. "A total project would make more sense and be more cost effective," he said. "We could certainly tie this into economic development." Blackburn said the institution could possibly allocate a portion of Resources Director Jerry Griepentrog and Welfare Division chief Linda Ryan and asks for an order to end annual Medicaid losses estimated by hospitals at $3 million to $10 million.

The lawsuit asks the court to find the current method for developing the Medicaid rates to hospitals invalid and to require appropriate state funding that meets federal standards "notwithstanding state budgetary considerations." chance of measurable precipitation is greater than 80 percent through Friday.

We need to recognize their abilities more than their disabilities because these people really have a lot to offer," she said.
