Show Bountiful OICs $32 million budget for 1992-93 year By PALL CHALLIS News Fditor Q BOUNTIFUL A public hearing hear-ing was held on Bountiful's $32.9 million budget but only one citizen took time to make any comments on the proposal for the next fiscal year, 1992-93. Resident Dave Piggott told the council he objects to the reserves fund that he claims has accumulated to nearly $23 million in Bountiful. "What could you possibly need with those kind of reserves?" Piggott said that Bountiful sends the money back east and it really doesn't do the south Davis County community much good. "Grant you, this is a well run city and you have a good staff but why do you need 200 percent of your needs in a ieserve fund?" Piggott suggested that the city refund re-fund the money to the taxpayers to reduce sheir burden for paying for services. I would ask you to look at those reserves and do something about it." City Manager Tom Hardy said the budget is up 5.9 percent over last year's and 4.2 percent after transf ers. The net total of the budget after transfers is $25,469,538. "These increases are due primarily to a large capital improvement im-provement budget, particularly in the power, water and street area' Hardy said. "No increase in any of the general taxes of the city, including in-cluding property tax, franchise tax, and sales tax. The Lix rate of these taxes have not increased in the past 11 years." Hardy said that the budget included in-cluded a 2 percent decrease in the power rate due to a decrease in contribution con-tribution from the electrical fund to the capital improvement fund of the city. The budget includes the addition of two full-time jxrsonnel to the city's work force, one in the fire department and the other in the water department. "A 2.5 percent market salary adjustment ad-justment for all full-time, permanent perma-nent employees, as well as reclassifications, both up and down, of 23 employees is also part of the budget," Hardy added. Mayor improvements to the city's electrical system, including upgrades at the 138 Kv substation and major improvements to the central cen-tral substation of the city, are part of the increased budget. Other improvements include a project to reconstruct 400 East from 500 South to 400 North and underground utilities are part of the proposal.
