It amounted to $594,793 which was 23.40 per cent of the General Fund. Because of the tremendous cut off of the federally funded CETA program, Clearfield officials had no choice but to up the mill levy, something that has not taken place in at least 20 years. It was estimated that there would be at least a 5 or 6 mills added to the present 11.7 mills. effort to show the citizens just where certain portions of the budget go, two new categories were involved, In an and that included the executive and election categories.

We had asked all the department heads to figure up what we could all call an ideal budget. When they turned in their requests, to tell it honestly, I thought we had a pretty ideal budget. We did do some trimming however, but not as much The more than I expected, stated Davenport. Originally the request in the police department had been $691,186 which was later trimmed to $594,793. The request for new officers and a new automobile or two were trimmed. The Fire Department had requested $142,702 but it was later cut to $85,936. The department had included a minipumper in their original request, but with the addition of a new fire department building this year, the cut was made. The Clearfield Pool was also cut back, the requested budget showing $205,011 and the final approved figure being $144,454. Many new additions and tidy-- u projects will go on at the pool during the next year. The pool superintendent had planned to add suanas and other extras, but a few extras were cut. Davenport said many of the changes made in state government concerning finances has affected cities, including Clearfield. Some officials report that the mill levy hike, which no doubt they think is necessary, could possibly have been raised a little each year instead of so much all of a sudden.

Clearfield City, in agreement with former North Davis Junior High principal, Lawrence Cook and the Davis County School District, worked hand in hand in purchasing materials and in construction processes. The district bought the materials and we built it, said Mr. Kearl. Mr. Kearl said also that the poles for the lights had been donated by a company with the city. Since that time the city had constructed the backstop, installed the sprinkling system and planted the grass. Seaver Electric was awarded the contract to put in the lights. As soon as the lights are ready, well (the city) move right in and do some final touches before opening the park, said Mr. Kearl.
