Funding Issues
The House and Senate are continuing discussions regarding K-12 funding. They
are $75 million apart.
It was pointed out that Scott Johnson is involved in meetings regarding alcohol and
drug abuse funding. He is looking at ways to bring equality to how the dollars are
allocated. There is a meeting of Mental Health directors this week. There is
resistance to reallocation, so new funding appears to be the only solution.
Monitored Issues
Potential changes to Measure 37 are being monitored.
Other
Commissioner Luke asked if land use might be amended to consider the
establishment of offices or shops on EFU land for irrigation districts. He requested
Mr. Linden look to see if this is included in any Bills.
Being no further items discussed, the meeting adjourned at 12:10 a.m. The next
conference call will take place at 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, May 4.
DATED this 27th Day of April 2005 for the Dese Utes Coun oard of
