Classes taught are: Anger Management Classes, Substance Abuse Classes, Job Skills, and Money Management.

They are able to train a lot more people with the new schedule that started in September. Ms. Bull feels it is working very well.

SURPLUS PROPERTY IN
BEAR RIVER ROCK HILL
County Planner Garth Day explained that the Countys Ordinance on surplus property requires that all surplus property go through the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission made a recommendation that they do not have a problem with the Commissioners disposing of the property in Bear River City that was once acquired by the County to be used as a transfer station. Mr. Day informed the Commissioners that a letter was sent to Wayne Boyer stating the Bear River property was one of the properties the County owns that he could use as a police training town. Mr. Boyer has submitted a grant, and Mr. Day feels the Commissioners should find out the status of the grant request. The Commissioners asked Garth Day to communicate with Wayne Boyer and to check into the lease on the property. Mr. Day said the property is zoned an A-20.
Garth Day said the
next step in the process is to establish a value for the land and then
determine whether to sell or not to sell.
Mr. Day then explained that the Commissioners could ask for offers and
negotiate, sell at the appraisal price or have a public auction.
Rock Hill said the
property is sandwiched in between a home on the north and a home on the
south. He feels the property is a rural
setting for a residential/small farm area.
Mr. Hill would like to build a residential home and have a small
farm. He would like to raise wheat and
corn.
The Commissioners
will get back with Mr. Hill as soon as they decide what to do with the
property.
