Show Thursday, Mar. 25, WEST VALLEY VIEW Ramblin' On Since its inception in 1979, the local Boundary Commission has had little work. The board has handled only a seven-memb- handful of cases, the two most publicized of which involved annexation with the exception of Taylorsville-Bennioresidents n who have another incorporation election pending, once again will feel susceptible to losing their tax base to avaricious cities. That fear, after all, prompted community council officials to put the Lake Valley proposal together in the first place. City, the county and unin-corporat- area residents east of the citys boundary. Yet, after May 11 and the failure of the Lake Valley City incorporation proposal, it seems quite likely that the Boundary Commission will be the subject of numerous articles in this and other newspapers. County attorneys are preparing to contest a flurry of anticipated annexations to cities which, for by Mike Gorrell more than a year, have been prevented from expanding their boundaries because of the impending incorporation election. Unincorporated area residents, disputes between Murray But fear, rather than logical reasoning, should not be the motivating force behind creating a city. On the other hand, that fear is not unfounded. Although cities technically cannot initiate annexations, its common knowledge that city officials are inclined to encourage property owners interested in annexation to act on their intentions. Lets face it, if city officials. didnt take this aggressive stand in todays atmosphere of through residential annexations to offset losses caused by the But the annexations will .take on a radically different character. Commercial areas will still be the plums. But, anticipating the impending sales tax change, cities will display far more willingness to take in extra residential property, previously seen as a tax drain rather than a revenue source. County attorneys will fight the attempts, realizing that territorial and population losses still will hit unincorporated area taxpayers right square in the pocket-boo- g penny-pinchin- and federal cutbacks, they wouldnt be acting in the best interests of their citizenry, the people they represent. The probability that the State Legislature will change the law governing the distribution of sales tax revenue at its next session provides an extra incentive for cities to pursue annexations. change. k. It will be their duty. Theyll be representing their constituents vital interests. Not to mention the positions of county employes whose job security is imperiled each time the unincorporated countys area is diminished. Heretofore, annexations were aimed principally at commercial and industrial targets. Places of business where cash registers jingle and sales tax flows out. The expected law change will place far more emphasis on a citys population (that doesnt figure into the formula at all now). So cities, particularly smaller ones with sound commercial and industrial centers, will have to increase their populations school.

So the Boundary Commission will be caught in a ticklish situation. Will it serve to maintain the status quo? Will it be inclined to support annexation attempts to larger cities and refuse those to smaller cities, fearful that the latter cannot provide services adequately. &uwoUcut 2:15p.m. Frequent Headaches Low Back or Hip Pain Dizziness or Loss of Sleep Numbness in Hands or Feet Nervousness Neck Pain or Stiffness Arm and Shoulder Pain three-bedroo- munity Council, ... night Com- r Granger-Hunte- smaller ,P FOODS at- tend registration.
