Dan Nakai, SJC Resident, reported to Commissioners that he has been working on getting a
Stage Coach Tour for the Valley of the Gods area.  He states that he has found an investor and
his plans include possibly putting a restaurant, motel and camp ground in the area and asked 
Commission on how best to proceed.  Commissioners state that the BLM owns the land he is
wanting to do this on and he needs to contact them, find out if it is even possible and then get the
appropriate permits from them.  Commissioners say they can write a letter of support however
they cannot approve anything.

Commissioner Stevens discussed with Commissioners Adams and Maryboy committing up to
$125,000 a year for the next four years to the Monticello City Swimming Pool.  He states that the
money would come from the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) and Community Self-Determination
Act funds that will be received by the county.  Commissioners report that the money from the
SRS fund was not budgeted.  A motion to approve the request to commit up $125,000 a year for
the next four years was made by Commissioner Lynn Stevens.  Commissioner Kenneth Maryboy
seconded the motion.  None opposed.  Commissioner Bruce Adams declared the motion carried.

Commissioners asked Norman to draft a letter to State of Utah Division of Finance about SRS
funds.
