available Ivins Council gives nod for RV park development ent by Janelle Stoddard Staff Writer IVINS The Town Council Thursday OK'd an authorization for the developer of a RV park stating that sufficient culinary water is available in town supplies. Councilman Steve DeLong told the council that approximately 100,000 gallons per day, at 1,000 gallons per hookup, would be required for the first phase of the Padre Canyon Village development. The council authorized a letter to developer John Cook stating that the town's water supply will cover the development's needs. "We do have enough water and more to provide them everything they need," DeLong said, adding the development will take approximately six years to complete. Cook's partner, Blaine Hales, was at the council meeting.

In other business, the council approved a motion requiring all legal fees concerning proposed developments done on behalf of the town be paid directly to the town, 'Budget buster' rather than to the town attorney, Russell Gallian. The funds would then be allocated by the town as expenses occur. The council also asked for an "accounting for front money given to Russ for legal work done on proposed developments for the town of Ivins." DeLong said that apparently Gallian had personally been billing proposed for legal work done in his position as the developments, and suggested that all monies be paid to the town, and then "doled out as exon penses occur." The council also set a March 28 public hearing to consider a zone change to planned development to allow an equestrian park development by Steve Williams in the Kayenta Lake development. The council had previously postponed the issue because of Williams's intentions to install graveled rather than paved roads in the development. However, said Williams, the gravel roads are preferred by horse owners, and the low density of the development lots average from 2.4 to 3.5 5 acres prohibits paving of the roads from an economic standpoint.

Hansen against farm bill WASHINGTON Rep. Jim Hansen, voted against the majority of his colleagues in Congress this week when he opposed a farm bail-out bill President Reagan promises to veto as a "budget-buster." Hansen, en 1 sute back to Utah and unavailable for comment after the balloting, voted against the measure because it is too expensive and "not an appropriate solution" to the plight of financially-strapped farmers, Spectrum Bureau OBITUARIES according to his spokesman, Ed Snow. "He is not opposed to helping out farmers," Snow said, but thinks the Administration proposal for credit help is a more viable way to aid the farm economy in the current credit crunch.

Hospital Administrator Kent Aland said the program will attempt to encourage utilization of the facility by increasing the daily patient load to an average census of five patients a day. Currently, the hospital averages three to four patients daily. Officials will develop community forums or discussions relating to the public's opinion about the hospital and physician service.

Aland added that despite a drop in hospital use, the quality of hospital care has risen steadily from where it was four years ago. The board, at its Wednesday meeting, also discussed seeking a federal grant through the Southwest Utah Health District for capital equipment. The hospital is in the process of obtaining information before sending the application in. Aland said he is optimistic about having the grant approved since the hospital's service area is MESQUITE, er 1 Tommy Leavitt, a former Mesquite Town Advisory Board chairman, was chosen Thursday to fill out the remaining term of councilman Dan Spencer A report was also given on a mock disaster drill Saturday in which there were 17 alleged casualties.

The possibility of specialty clinics coming to Kanab and the importance of specialists acting as a resource to the local general practitioners was also discussed by the board.

An agreement is still being worked out since sale of the facility failed. Nearing completion is a transfer of the ambulance dispatching service from the hospital to the classified as underserved.

Leavitt will serve until June 30, when a new election will determine a permanent councilman. The council approved Ed Davis' tentative plan for phase II of Old Mill subdivision located on the east end of town just off Old Mill Road. The subdivision consists of about 30 building lots, said City Manager Mel Thaanum.

It also appointed councilman Craig Pulsipher as chairman of the new City Planning Advisory Committee which is preparing a master plan. Peppermill's Western Village is mounting dry stand pipes for fire protection on all floors of the new three-story hotel. The council earlier required four stand pipes be installed for each new building on Peppermill's complex. Through a compromise a change was made to allow the company to install two dry stand pipes on the newest three-story structure which has a sprinkling system. It also required Peppermill to install two in the older three-story building which does not have fire sprinklers.

An administrative housekeeping measure, geared to set up the municipal elections was introduced and will be acted upon at the March 14 meeting. Setting of term of office for the mayor and council will be addressed, said Thaanum. Approval of an animal holding facility was given and public works director Larry Jensen will be oversee that responsibility.
