Tuesday night the board will receive further cost comparisons. The type of professional help needed to aid in any building expansion will also continue to be discussed. Earlier this month the board was considering hiring a new staff member to help in buying land for new schools, study the need for additions to permanent buildings and serve as a liaison with other local government officials. But at a work session last Tuesday on growth, board members talked instead of dividing these duties up among existing administration or contracting local firms for specific services.

A number of reports, but no action, on future building needs are planned for the Dist. 51 School Board meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Administrative Center. The board will hear the second monthly report on new housing reports in the area, gathered from the Mesa County Planning Dept. The report will show 139 home permits have been granted so far this year, about 20 ahead of last years rate.

He said as he went to close the door and call the police himself, one of them smashed a storm door window with a beer bottle and they rushed off to their car parked in the street. Bareither said he ran outside to catch the license number on the vehicle and as he approached the group he was kicked in the chest and fell to the ground. One of the young men slapped his wife and a girl wrestled with her, while yet another man assaulted his son before taking off in the car. "I couldnt believe it, I was stunned, Bareither said.

Bowman said the Clifton street was a dead-end street.

The commission also authorized Bowman to update the county road system maps to show Mesa County Road 4 1 in Gateway as a part of the road system. Bowman said the road had inadvertently been left off the states maps several years ago, and therefore was not included in the county road system when its map was updated two years ago. Bowman said the county had maintained the road in the past, and that placing the road back on the system would draw about $1,800 in revenue funds for the county.
