Show 1 The Newspaper Thursday, May 7, 1981 ILtteir it Hospital's in good hands Editor: Rick Lanman's letter in your April 30th edition expressed a concern for the integrity of the Miner's Hospital as a significant historic building. I hope, Rick, that you will continue to think it's "in good hands" as you read this response, because others probably share your concern. We plan to retain as much of' the original interior of the building as we can. The exterior will be much easier to handle because it has not been changed much since 1904. The woodwork will be removed, stripped, and replaced. The few remaining tin ceilings will be used. Although most of the interior retains little of its original character because of its use as a youth hostel, the flavor of its era will be restored as much as. possible. The library board has hired Wallace Cooper, one of the best historic preservation architects in the state. Also, we are working with the Park City Historical Society, with whom we will share the Hospital. Judy MacMahon Library Director (Cimitninnineofl firimn Hearing from 1 building the field house with the school district offered an opportunity that "two years from now might be out of sight." Concert promoter Sean Toomey commented that he'd moved to Park City just four hours earlier and couldn't speak to the effects of the bond on taxes.' But he pointed out that "It has been proven at other resorts that the level of arena being proposed draws national talent. And that does well bringing people in. Whether you decide to build it now or five or 10 years from now, I think it has a lot of potential." Resident Russ Green took issue with the fact that non-property owners would be allowed to vote in the bond election. "I think that's unfair.. ..they (renters) won't pay a thing." "Those who are not property owners will pay everyone who rents will bear the burden because the landlords will May 3 Susan Lanman May 7 Gwenn Pratt May 8 Pete Martinez Jay Davis May (DAILIEFJ &.

It is yet another in a long succession of testimonials to the ability of the new administration of the city. Like all the others, the article sings the praises of all the new city officials of-ficials who worked day and night to pull Park City from the depths to which it had fallen after the "Arbor Day Raid" and the subsequent investigation by the County Attorney. Like all the other articles which have given credit to the saviours of this city, no mention was made of the loyal, conscientious con-scientious employees who endured the open distrust and suspicion of the general public, the confusion created by the media frequently descending on City Hall, anrl the long hours and heavy workloads caused by the resignation of not only the City Manager, but also a number of other employees who had been responsible for many day-to-day pass the increase onto them," said Councilwoman Helen Alvarez. When resident Chuck Trumell said the projects were "too grandiose" for the present population to fund, Alvarez pointed out that there were many more taxpayers than were included in the census roles. She said that a survey showed that up to 60 percent of the property owners on the tax roles don't live in Park City. Ted Larremore lamented to the council that "we're talking about taxes going up, not a little, but a lot. You should turn on the television and watch Reagan and take some of his example. You're going to run the people out of town. This is going to be a millionaire playboy town." Mayor Green reminded Larremore that the ideas for the projects did not originate with the council, "but with the taxpayers who came to us." In response to other senior citizens who complained they couldn't afford an increase in taxes, Alvarez said the city t 8 ir--e -r-rx HBirthday Stars May 9 Jan Peterson Paula Sayers Paula Kelly May 10 Barb Hayes Marcia Hudson Danny Sandoval tr v " ... i.m., Carbide Lamp; gen eral meeting, City Hall Dungeon "Feiffer's People," 8 p.m., Silver Wheel Theatre Sunday Drug abuse radio program, pro-gram, 5 p.m., on KPCW "Feiffer's People," 8 p.m., Silver Wheel Theatre Monday Summit Co.

The conditions continued for c'x lone months. Now, a year after the scandal occurred, we still are subjected to the whims of the variety of new city officials, each of whom has his or her own way of doing things which we are expected to adjust to. It is reasonable to give credit where credit is due, but those of us who stuck by the city during these troubled times are tired of hearing how nothing was done right up to the time of the influx of "new blood" on the city staff. These have not been easy months for us and having this attitude reiterated by the newspapers time after time is disheartening, dishear-tening, to say the least. It would be unfair for anyone to make the assumption that the "jewels of administration" ad-ministration" could be effective without the diligence of the existing staff at the time of the crisis and their continued suppport. Very sincerely, Michelle Foree Lu Ann Antonio Ric Jentzsch Susan Gurule Ernest Mutcher currently is researching ways to offer tax breaks to residents on fixed incomes (see related story on Page 6). At the close of the two-hour session, Mayor Green said that based on the public input, the council "probably" would vote to separate the projects into four options on the ballot. He added that the council had made no decisions about the bond amount, and that the meeting was only to gather public input. On Tuesday, City Manager Arlene Loble said the council will be discussing the proposed bond at their work session today. She noted that she is talking to a bond counselor, because it may be infeasible to separate the library away from the park, since a bond for $500,000 may be difficult to sell, and would be at a higher interest rate. If the council approves a resolution to hold the election, voters could go to the polls three weeks after notification in the newspapers.
