Wednesday, June 29, 1977 Page 2 Utah Foundation State Action Will Increase School Funds Operating funds for the Park City School District will increase by $154,866 or 21.5 percent next year as a result of actions taken by the 1977 Utah Legislature. Estimated operating funds in 1977-78 will amount to $874,923 or $935 per weighted pupil unit, compared with $720,057 or $889 per weighted-pupil unit during the 1976-77 school year. It is also estimated that Park City School District will receive $51,833 in state building build-ing aid under a new school building aid program approved this year. These were some of the facts reported by Utah Foundation, the private research organization, in an analysis of school financial trends within the state. The Foundation study points out that state and local funds for public school operations in Utah have been rising at an average rate of 13 percent each year over the past several years. It notes that while part of this increase is due to inflation and higher enrollments, a substantial part is attributed to other factors such as (1) higher salaries, (2) expanded benefits, (3) reductions in class size, (4) added noninstructional personnel, and (5) the introduction of new programs. Projections made by Utah Foundation and other groups have indicated that school enrollments in Utah will climb by 100,000 pupils over the next ten years. Based on this estimate and assuming continuation of the cost trends of the past five years, school operating expenditures in Utah will exceed $1 billion annually by the 1986-87 school year. At that time, school costs in Utah will be rising at a rate of more than $130 million each year. Matheson Appts. Stephens As State Senator; Brown As Rep. Reprinted from the Salt Lake Tribune Gov.

Throughout the state, total operating funds for school will rise from $317.4 million in 1976-77 to $357.7 million in 1977-78. In addition to this increase in operating funds, the 1977 Legislature also approved a new school building aid program which will allocate $11.4 million in state building aid plus another $1 million for a loan fund to assist a limited -number of school districts that are unable to complete building projects from-existing from-existing resources. Utah's guaranteed basic school program was raised from $683 per weighted-pupil unit in 1976-77 to $732 per . weighted-pupil unit in 1977-78. 1977-78. Increases were ' also provided for the voted ; leeway program, transportation, retirement, and a number of special purpose grants, such as elementary music, gifted and talented students, career development, textbooks, and lab fees, and experimental programs. New appropriations totaling $4.8 million were made for reducing classroom size, bilingual education, utilities and insurance, and teaching the responsibility of parenthood. According to the Foundation analysis, $53,515,171 was appropriated in 1977-78 for school retirement and the employers share of Federal Social Security costs for school employees. Concern about rapidly rising retirement costs for school and other public employees prompted the 1977 Legislature to authorize an acturial study of Utah's retirement system. The study will be made to determine if state retirement benefits can be or should be coordinated with . Federal Social Security benefits. T, OJ).McGee Monika Kaufer ; G) r y for -.nI ; ' Doti Marden How About It? What is your reaction to the resolutions passed at Utah State's International Women's Year Conference? O.D. McGee - What I can't understand is, why aren't those women folk at home, down on their hands and knees, scrubbing the kitchen floor where they belong?! Kate Moore - I am very disappointed in the outcome of the convention. I think it is difficult to be a woman not to mention being a woman in Utah. It seems like they have their role cut out for them right out of a cookie cutter by BYU. Monika Kaufer - What bothers me the most is the irony of women attending a conference that is designed to further the rights and involvement of women based on their abilities and aspirations and not on their gender, and their every action and vote did nothing but squelch women's rights. Kathy Wilking - The recommendations do not represent the thinking women of Utah. It is appalling how uninformed, uneducated and uncaring the majority of the 13,000 people at the convention were. The large turnout did not represent an interest in discussing the issues, but rather a misguided obligation to the church. Doti Marden - Basically, the resolutions passed reflect the feeling of the majority of the women in the state and the resolutions are disappointing to me. It is time for the minorities to be heard. Deanna Burdick - I feel the resolutions represent an impingement on my right to choose my lifestyle - an alternate to motherhood and housework - whereas voting for ERA, childcare, etc. requires choice rather than dictatorship.

' ': Park City Animal Control Officer Trisha Hansen said one of the dogs, which was examined after death, was determined to have suffered strychnine poisoning.

THE VARIANCES ARE AS FOLLOWS: FOR LESTER & LINDA CALLAHAN: They purchased property described as: Lot 21 Block 9 Snyders Addition, from the information available at the County Recorders office this lot was not in separate ownership prior to April 4, 1968. A building permit has been applied for with the Zoning Administrator refusing to approve it's issuance. The Board of Adjustment has therefore been asked to reverse the decision of the Zoning Admin, and to grant a variance so that a single family dwelling can be constructed on the property. This request comes under the authority of the Board described in 10-9-12 & 10-9-14 of the Utah Code annotated 1953 and also chapter XIII of the Park City Land Management Code. This request will be considered by the Board on July 19 at 7 p.m. at City Hall. All interested persons are invited to attend. FOR DON STEVE CROSLAND: Owner of property described as: North '2 of Lot 2 and all of Lot 3, Block 31, Park City Survey. Mr. Crosland obtained a building permit some months ago to construct a single family dwelling on the prop, described above. The contractor involved in constructing the foundation framed and poured the footings and foundation walls without inspection from the City. After the City became aware of the work being done it was determined that the foundation was improperly located with regard to its front yard setback. The building permit was issued with a 10 foot setback, the foundation as now constructed has no setback and is on the property line. A stop order has been issued and the building permit revoked. The Board of Adj. is therefore being asked to reverse the decision of the Zoning Admin, in revoking the building permit and to grant a variance on the required front yard setback. This request comes under the authority of the Board described in 10-9-12 & 10-9-14 of the Utah Code annotated 1953 and also chapter XIII of the Park City Land Management Code.

A more exact description of the property can be obtained from either Jack Johnson or from the City Planning Office. Graphics are also available for exam. Due to the somewhat severe slope of the property the developers are asking for a variance on front yard setback requirements, such that they or future owners of the property could construct garages and or dwellings without front yard setbacks. This request comes under the authority of the Board described in 10-9-12 of the Utah Code annotated 1953 and also chapter XIII of the Park City Land Management Code.
