VI NO. 22 ‘Fiscal Fact of Lif Or...... why is it necessary to read the legal notices? By Alice Smith: It’s budget time for Milford City. Worksheets have been traveling at a respectable pace between city personnel, the city auditor (Ken Hinton), and elected officials for several weeks. With figures still in flux, it appears that expected revenues are a few dollars actually somewhere in the neighborhood of $40,000 - under anticipated expenses. Obviously , before July 1, city government needs to create an equation under which revenues cover expenses. In simple terms, it is necessary to either increase the revenue or decrease the _ expenses to make the budget balance. Building permits, additional property tax from new homes, and additional business licenses, etc., show healthy activity and add a few dollars to the coffers. The city’s portion of ' Fee-In-Lieu of Personal Property (that’s a fancy way of describing vehicle tax) has increased dramatically in direct relation to Circle 4 Farms growth, but anticipated tax from the feed mill is still at least a year away. In the mean time, the meter is running on the day to day expenses of providing services. One option available for increasing revenue is an annual utility or “franchise” tax. Adding such tax to U. S. West, Utah Power and Light, and/or Mountain Fuel utility bills would slightly increase cost consumers, while providing the extra dollars needed by the city. A public hearing is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on June 18. This hearing will be followed at 6:30 p.m. by a budget hearing. Residents are invited to attend, and to present their comments.
