Another follow-up workshop is cable and tv listing inside Volume Eighty-Six Senator Eldon Money listened to Mapleton City Council explain the plight of bedroom communities such as Mapleton, then Councilman Larry Haines asked Senator Money to submit a bill to change the state constitution allowing distribution of State Sales Taxes on a basis of population rather than by point of collection. In other council action Tuesday, the city agreed to expend collector road funds on the North Main Street extension ex-tension at 1200 North. Council advised the planning commission to move very cautiously on a request to extend South Main Street into the dry lands area. The annexation policy declaration was tabled for further consideration. Council signed the county fire agreement for 1980, but is concerned about the amount of money being received from the county. The state constitution, at the present time, prohibits distribution of state sales taxes on the basis of population, Councilman Haines told Senator Money. Money and Representative Ray Nielsen had both been invited to Mapleton Council Meeting. Weather conditions were such that Nielsen did not attend. A 1978 study pointed out that Mapleton would have received $100,000 instead of only $16,000 from sales taxes if distribution was allowed by population instead of by point of sale, Haines said. Lack of revenue is a serious problem for community planning, Haines pointed out. He said the state sales tax is a fair tax but the present distribution system is very discriminatory. Money explained that he had submitted sub-mitted such a bill in an earlier legislative session but received a lot of flack for doing so and the bill was soundly defeated by legislators of larger ciiies. Salt Lake City received $11,000,000 in sales taxes according to "the 1978 study, but would have lost $5,000,000 of this if taxes were distributed on a population basis.

Money agreed to submit a new bill with a formula for distribution which would allow for some of the sales tax to be distributed on a population basis if he could determine that there would be some degree of support for such a bill in the legislature. The city will expend about $16,000 from the collector road fund to extend Main Street from 1200 North to 1000 North. Property owners will contribute an additional $4,000 and an 80-foot right-of-way for the development. This expenditure ex-penditure will be for fill and a gravel base to meet collector road specification. The extension will not be black topped at the present time. Cost of black topping this 675-foot extension is estimated to be $24,420. The decision to provide the extention came on a unanimous vote. A land owner who has a temporary permit for a house trailer in south Mapleton dry lands has asked the planning commission to consider an extension of Main Street into the area. In the discussion requested by Councilman Coun-cilman Grady Edenfield, Larry Haines said this extension doesn't fit the City master plan development, nor does it permit an orderly city development. Extending the street for more than one mile for the benefit of one house would be a tremendous committment by the city, Haines said. Fires reported Springville Volunteer Fire Department Depart-ment was called to extinguish a car fire at Jefferson Center, 755 S. Main Street. The 1974 Ford, belonging to Glen Thomas, was listed as a total loss with estimated value at about $2,000. Monday, firemen were called to Valtek on a false alarm.

SPRINGVILLE. UTAH The mayor said this would set a precedent Mapleton could not live with. Further discussion centered around snow removal problems and fire and police protection. Edenfield was advised ad-vised to have the planning commission move very cautiously on this request by a retiring doctor who now wants to have a home on his 58 acres of property. ' A public hearing was held prior to the council meeting to consider the city annexation policy declaration for future discussion.

Beer licenses were granted to businesses at 171 North Main and 540 North Main to sell bottles and cans only for consumption other than at the place of purchase.
