Mr. Davis has just completed the annual fiscal audit for the 1986-8year that ended June 30. This is required of all municipalities on a yearly basis by state law. Mr. Davis pointed out that the city has $4,700,000 invested in interest bearing accounts. Revenues are down slightly in 7 monies, charges for services and fines and forfeitures. This decrease of 1 .03 percent was caused mostly because of the reduction in federal shared revenues. The increases in revenue from taxes and licenses and permits show that Layton is still in a high growth pattern. This makes it difficult to provide services, Mr. Davis observed. Taxes account for 76.7 percent of total revenues . The auditor noted no department overspent its budget. Layton has an outstanding debt in the form of general obligation bonds totaling $945,000 of which $825,000 are outstanding swimming pool bonds. In addition $495,000 of water and sewer construction bonds are outstanding. This means the debt per capita is $36, a low amount compared to most governing bodies. The swimming pool bonds will not be paid until 2006. The auditing firm noted two areas of concern.

When the need is great enough, a prepared person can take control over the situation. He cited the influences of junk food commercials and television over people. A high school graduate spends more time watching television than he, did attending school, he observed. "This conditioning leads us to believe we need to eat certain foods, dress in certain fashions and behave in certain ways, he said. It is important to determine your needs for yourself and to take control, he added.

Mr. Marsh said the important benefit of athletic competition is to help individuals become better through a process of buffeting and battering and of stiff competition. Those who survive take control of their life through the determination of becoming what they want to be and then developing a way of reaching this goal. He observed that before anything happens, a person thinks the action through. The more times you do something mentally, the greater the impression is on the brain so that the visualized images of success will translate into a good performance.

A new computer system wont be necessary just software to operate it, the council was told. A task force, headed up by leaders from private industry, will spearhead formation of the program. We will work to increase job opportunities and act as a model for other areas, Mr. Nelson said. in Two percent of our seniors are their second year, Mr. Nelson said, with PIC Chairman Les Derbyshire recalling his own experience in Great Britain.

It had been hoped some maintenance could be completed last July. "We were wondering if we might be losing water and wanted to make sure we met the safe water requirements, Mrs. Provost explained, noting the springs were found and first years ago. Some city water currently comes from those springs. In addition, 140 acre feet have been purchased annually from Weber Basin Water Conservancy District. That figure was increased to 200, recently, to meet needs of the growing population. The additional 60 acre feet recently gained approval. go-ahe- ad ed |
