Show Revenue License Levied The City Council approved an ordinance creating a transportation trans-portation revenue license to be levied on business people in Park City in order to pay for the bus system at its regular meeting Thursday, Thurs-day, Lewis Brothers agreed to Council changes on a contract con-tract they had signed, thus paving the way for Thanksgiving Thanks-giving implementation of the system. The ordinance charges one half of one percent gross sales, based on he previous prev-ious fiscal year's sales tax, and establishes the Transportation Trans-portation Committee as a Board of Adjustment to hear appeals for exemptionor reduction re-duction of the fee. A copy . of the ordinance which includes in-cludes penalty and fines, is printed in this issue. In other business, the Council Coun-cil heard reports from John Pries and Amanda Peterson, new Chamber of Commerce managers, who presented Christinas plans. Although Park City submitted the lowest low-est bid for purchase of Salt Lake's used decorations, Price deemed these unadaptable unada-ptable to Park City streets. New wreath and lantern decor dec-or at ions were purchased from Modern Display for $2,020.25. They have arrived in' town and will be strung soon. An additional $200 for lights on the Memorial Building Buil-ding community Christmas Tree was approved. Mrs. Peterson won Council Coun-cil approval to close off Main Street to cars starting start-ing at 5:30 p.m. December 22. Santa will arrive by sleigh and almost all the children in town will perform per-form dur in g the evening. Caroling, a high school band concert and a Christmas dance with professional band are some of the jolly events in store. Three to five thousand thou-sand people are expected and merchants are urged to adorn their shops and restaurants rest-aurants to provide special Christmas menus. The Skyline Jeep Club from Salt Lake requested Council approval for a snow rally to be held Feb. 7 and 8 in Deer Valley. The same group held such an event last winter and Police Chief Larry Henley reported that they didn't comply with city requests for traffic help and added parking, and also sold beer without a license. He believes the event will be (Continued on Page 11) License (Continued from Page 1) "more a hassle than it's worth" and said all Park City policemen worked 12-14 12-14 hours a day supervising last year's rally. The Council directed Henley Hen-ley to contact the group and made sure adequate provisions provis-ions are made before approval ap-proval is granted. A similar sim-ilar decision was made on state snowmobile championships champion-ships planned for three days in January. Salt Lake Transportation Company received Council approval for an ambucar service ser-vice to cart non-ambulatory injured skiers to Salt Lake hospitals. The price for such a service will be about $20 less than for an ambulance journey, and city fathers felt the radio-dispatched Dodge maxi-van will help reserve the fire department ambulance ambul-ance for true emergency care. A doctor will make the stipulation on which type of transport is required, and a Salt Lake Transportation Company representative estimated es-timated that 80 percent of ski casualties don't require an ambulance. Business licenses were granted to John Parry for JD's of Park City, Buddy Waldman for "Shenanigans and Michael Webb for "Michael's "Mi-chael's Ski Repair". Bills for $34,911.67 were approved. Temporary councilman coun-cilman Phil Aurit broke the tie when Clem Hansen and Mary Lehmer voted to disapprove dis-approve the bills. Rich Martinez, who entertained en-tertained the City hall crowd through the meeting with jokes, reported "We've got the water drift going again." 1 i |
