2 The SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Monday, January 16, 1878 Retirement Requests Considered chairman of Pinewood Fire District because he is leaving the district. He gave no reasons in his letter to the Board of Supervisors for his move. The board also will receive a letter from the Flagstaff law firm of Garbarino and Lee asking that the Flagstaff Sheriffs Posse be granted firm agreements to handle all concessions and parking at the countys annual summer racing meet and also at all other events held at the race track. The letter says that the pos3e may be required to pay some kind of fee for the concession rights and points out they have financed, helped with construction, maintained and generally improved and promoted the construction of the existing facilities." The monies the posse gathers from the concession rights, the letter notes, is used in various local charitable activities. The letter includes a long list of the charities supported by the posse.

Norman Johnson, president of the Arizona Snow Bowl, also will appear before the board to ask for an increase in county assistance in handling traffic on the road to the ski area. Johnson, in a letter to the board, reports that in excess of 2,000 persons a day used the bowl during one recent weekend. The Coconino County Board of Supervisors Tuesday will consider the requests of three county employees to continue working in the past the normail-mandatory retirement age of 65. The requests have been filed by Lincoln C. Pigg, roads and highways; Grace Boyd and Glen Oyer, both community services.

County Manager Jack R. Smith said today the board, which meets at 9 a.m., Tuesday, County Courthouse, Flagstaff, probably will approve the requests. The county personnel system mandates retirement at 65. However, employees may appeal the rule and receive extensions, of a year at a time, until age 70, at which time retirement becomes mandatory without appeal. In other business Tuesday, the board will accept the resignations of a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission and the chairman of the Pinewood Fire District.

Parks and Recreation Commissioner John G. Mont-fort is resigning because he plans to move away from Flagstaff and to California. Montfort, an executive with Black Mesa Pipeline, is being transferred by his company. Joseph K.

Palmer H. Plourde, 68, was discovered by a neighbor shortly before 8 p.m. Plourde is listed as being a resident of Sun City, according to Lt. Tom Brawley of the Coconino County sheriffs office! A Sunday autopsy determined that Plourde may also have suffered a heart attack.

Apparently, the victim was on a ladder sawing off limbs from a pine tree when the mishap occurred. Search Fails to Find SOS Signal Senders A search of a wooded area northeast of the San Francisco Peaks area this weekend has failed to locate two persons who were reportedly making SOS signals to a passing helicopter Saturday afternoon. Sheriff Joe Richards said an extensive search of the Lockett Meadows, Dead Mans Flat, Bismark Lake and Reese's Tanks areas had been without result. Richards said no reports of missing persons had been filed which might relate to the incident. A hilicopter from the Department of Public Safety was unable to assist searchers Sunday due to poor flying conditions.

Sheriffs Department personnel were undertaking a search today of the Elk Park Meadows area in an effort to locate a woman reported to be missing in that area. In other weekend search and rescue activity, a report of a downed airplane near Oints Well was determined to be false and a man thought to be lost near Flagstaff arrived safely in Phoenix. New Regent President Outlines Goals and substitute personal services, as is the present policy for other state agencies. Patterson noted that as the items on the program will be on-going until completion, the list is not necessarily intended for completion in 1978. Rather, he said, it is intended to serve as "working guidelines for the Regents central staff and for the board.

Clarify and refine procedures for handling intergovernmental agreements between state agencies and the universities. Review existing policy on out-of-state enrollments and the tuition differential between in-state and out-of-state students, and undergraduate and graduate students. Development of basic payroll procedures which will eliminate present salary and wage categories Pistols Say U.S. Too Tame Harold Gibbs, 76 TEMPE Dwight W. Patterson of Mesa, newly-elected president of the Arizona Board of Regents, outlined a nine-point program for possible accomplishment by the board during 1978 at the boards January meeting here last weekend.

The first item on his list was to finalize a cost study which has been under way for two years and which should be completed by the Regents central staff this spring. Patterson also called for a beginning on a systematic academic program review Gt the states three universities using outside professional reviewers. This, he noted, is a follow-up of a duplication study completed last year which resulted in some reductions in course offerings. A major item is the development of a master plan for continuing education in Arizona, designed to make educational programs, of the unlver- 1 OpiC sities available to the sities and the boards staff to accomplish an effective personnel and pay equalization program in the university system, as mandated by the State Legislature. Continue efforts to upgrade and achieve a high degree of professionalism and independence in the internal audit function.

Work with the Legislature to achieve an equitable formula for balancing salary increases between merit pay and cost of living. This formula, Patterson said, should recognize the inherent differences that exist in faculty salaries as opposed to other types of employment and should give the universities the necessary tools to reward superior performance, as required to maintain a strong and viable teaching staff.
