THE SCHOOL foods budget is complicated by federal support uncertainty, although the district will work for a program comparable to the past year, he said, with the tentative budget showing a federal funding reduction without an increase in student fees. A breakdown of fund sources indicates local revenue will increase 21 .3 percent for the coming year, to $13.7 million, while state support will jump by nearly $4 million. But federal support, once at $4 million-plu- s during the 1979-8- 0 year, will decrease another 53 percent, down to $1,639,000. AN EXPENDITURE analysis indicates 69.6 percent of the budget, or more than $45 million, will go for salaries along with 18.6 percent, or $12. 1 million, for employee benefits. Of the remaining 12 percent, utilities are pegged at $3.7 million, or 5.7 percent, up $350,000 from the 1980-8- 1 year but down from the more than $4 million Supplies, books and materials expended in 1979-8will take 4.6 percent, or just above $3 million, representing the most spent in that area in the last three years. Only $1.8 million was spent in 1979-8- 0 when the district trimmed $1.6 million due to federal fund By TOM BUSSELBERG .

THE NEW budget would see an unappropriated revenue or surplus of $583,627, up sharply from the $307,000 surplus in the current budget although considerably below what Mr. Glines said would be healthy.

A BREAKDOWN J Hill AFB and other federal facilites. No one at this point knows the ultimate outcome of 874. Lets suppose there was some good news from Washington and we got the same amount. If we have the mill in place, then we have to replace it if we get the same amount as this year. Speaking on those same lines was Board Member Sheryl Allen. "If we use a portion of that 874 money we dont have to refund unless we get the total amount. In my highest expectations I can only anticipate a small portion (of the previous amount coming from Washington or $1.8 million. of personnel costs shows teachers receiving 71 .5 percent, at the same level as a year ago. Teacher aides have dropped from 3.1 percent in 1979-8- 0 to 2.6 percent while counselors, social workers and psychologist have seen a jump from 2.3 percent two years ago to 3.7 percent. That is primarily due to federal regulations, Mr. Glines said.

The district is projected for 46,694 weighed pupil units for the coming year, up by 1,500. That equates only roughly to the number of students with extra units given to certain programs and handicapped students, for instance. The district receives $17 from the state for each WPU, with an average of $1,003 per student this year, up six percent from last years one-tent- six-tent- budgets. It has been a very difficult year to budget for, Supt. Lawrence Welling said. Even until the end of the year it will be difficult.

THE COUNTY economic development board heard that admonition last week in a spe- oriented.

Rather than run to the Small Business Administration, cial dinner meeting from shell try to win his case Suzanne Phipps, economic development director in Jefferson, County, Colo., part of the Denver metropolitan area. She said that two years ago, upon assuming the position, she had to contend with a county that was known to be on the "wrong side of the tracks, and unresponsive government and an unbalanced tax base. It was a bedroom county, much like some preceive Davis County, although that is changing. WE HAD raw land and were closest to the mountains. We had a lot to offer, Ms. Phipps said, noting she inherited a 9x12 foot office with virtually no staff with a tradition with a local banker. GOVERNMENT can be efficient but our office has been wasted for years, to the point there wasnt even a map of the county to show potential move-inshe said. Pres, viously, inquiries were answered with a few statistics from the State House and that was about it, she told the group gathered at the Red Flame in Bountiful. "I felt the best way to represent myself was as a catalyst a liaison. I work directly for the three commissions as the director of economic devleop-men- t. am the county.

If a major industry showed that it could fit a residential area, that would be no problem since the planning department would work with all concerned, down to educating the public to what would happen what type of neighbor the new firm would be before it got to the emotional public hearing stage, she said. ITS AN attitude. You need to know you have the support of the commissioners, and the group (board) behind you, and try to work for what will benefit the entire community. While elected officials may feel pressure from some voters on an issue, a vocal business and industrial community can help. I think its on a project by project basis, she said, adding, Mr. King needs your support and enthusiasm. Theyll (economic office) er be able to do it by nev- them-selve- s. THIS IS the only moneymaking department in the county. It should be a generator of taxes. All of us should keep that in mind. Make contacts and take pride in the county. It is important for you to identify with the downtown area. You have to have a healthy downtown Salt Lake City before it will grow here. But as a bedroom commun- ity, theres a built-i- n labor pool, Ms. Phipps emphasized, noting the same thing exists in Jefferson County, where many major firms have located of late.

IN ADDITION to the new express service, two routes which currently serve only Hill AFB from northern Davis County have been redesigned to operate on Main Street and Orchard Drive in Bountiful, then through north Davis County to Hill AFB. The changes are being made to make bus service available to more Davis County residents, said UTA spokesman Rod Clifford. "We cant afford to add totally new service to our system right now, he said, "but we can rearrange existing service so that more people have access to the bus without increasing the total number of miles we operate. Thats essentially what weve done with these routes in Davis County. HE SAID the changes re- sulted from public meetings held in Farmington late last year, at which UTA proposed to eliminate Routes Both routes have been exclusively worker service to Hill 87-8- AFB and had undergone rider-shi- p losses. Following the public meeting, UTA planners agreed to work with a riders group representative to strike a compromise which would allow the service to remain but would open the routes to other than Hill AFB employees. Route it AFB and will begin from Salt Lake City and serve Bountiful's Main Street. South Davis County will receive two additional morning and two afternoon trips to accommodate increased passenger loads, Clifford said. Two more morning and two afternoon trips for the south Davis area have also been added to Route 88, now designated Route Road-HiAFB, which will operate from Salt Lake City on Orchard Drive in Bountiful. Both of the routes are subject to regular UTA fares. Heights-Hi- ll ll newly-designat- THE NEW express service, will be Express, limited-sto- p, service, Clifford said.

You might live in the north end of the county, but what happens here affects you. Its not a lot of flashy brochures but guts and enthusiasm.

BYU researchers have agreed to begin the survey in July. LAYTON RECREATION director Richard Hunt said he doesn't think the city is against forming a district at all. But he said he feels the independent research by BYU will be a more unbiased approach in finding out resident opinions over the proposed district. "As far as the city council is concerned, they would like to have more input from the voters, Hunt said.

T LAYTONS RECREATION department conducted an earlier study and survey on the district and found that those residents participating favored the formation of a county-wid- e recreation effort. Asked: Would you be in favor of forming a county district?, Hunt said the reaction of residents has been affirmative, by a two-on-e margin. I DONT think its a dead issue, he said, adding that those cities invited to partici- pate probably dont understand the other's situation. Clearfield City Manager Gayle Starks said Tuesday he did not think Layton was interested in a district and said the whole idea is kind of a dead issue. cooperation from the press and other media, down to board members spreading the word to fellow passengers on airplane trips, for instance. A focus has to be found where the county can besl monthly luncheon meetings. But it goes far beyond that, she said.

BARNEY CURTIS Hall, of 600 West Mutton Hollow Road, Kaysville, will apparently be tried in an adult court instead of juvenile court as a result of recent legislative action that enables the county attorneys office to bypass a "certification hearing that was previously required before a person of juvenile age could be tried in an adult court. County Attorney Steven C. dules and route guides will be available next week at regular UTA schedule outlets. Juvenile Court has ten days in which to contest the states HUNT SAID if Layton receives more positive support for the district from its residents a committee should be set up to evaluate the proposal and formulate a concrete plan.

SPONSORED by the State Board of Education, the alcohol and drug division of the State Health Dept, and Davis District, the workshop was financed by an appropriation by the legislature and was one of 12 such inservice workshops to be held throughout the state. Its purpose: to acquaint teachers, administrators and PTA members with the best methods to educate students in the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Dr. Robert Leake of the state education office con-- ( ducted and reviewed both sue- - approaches to the problem. Barbara Edmiston of the state health department discussed preventive methods.

Being negative in their approach could diminish or even destroy a students self respect and feeling of worth. This, together with too much peer pressure, could lead to a students involvement in the use of drugs and-o- r alcohol. Paticipants learned three ways to help students avoid peer pressures to indulge: 1. To use ones credit, e . g. If I have to smoke to be your friend, then I dont want to be your friend. 2.

In reviewing the new requirements, Peterson said the city planning commission came up with very few changes. He said the commission approved nearly the same square footage specifications as were previously required in the R-- 3 zone. 3, y, THOSE specificiations approved by the city council were: A decrease in the (R-l- ) lot width of from 80 (R-3- ) y, In Zoning to 75 feet.

ONLY MAJOR change in square footage require-- : ments is that the R- -l lot size is reduced from 12,000 to 8,000 feet. Mayor Norm Sant and Fire Chief Arnold Satterlee voiced some concern over the height requirements suggested by the planning commission. Previously, landowners were allowed to construct dwellings up to stories or 35 feet high. The new R-- 1 requirements, however, limit the height to two stories. THE 35 FEET is predicated on stories, Mayor Sant said. Our fire department is not equipped to go higher," Chief Satterlee said, and it would cost a lot of feet above money to get equipment." Thirty-fiv- e the ground should be it, he told councilmembers. AFTER SOME discussion, the council voted to limit the height to stories, or 35 feet. X |
