One land owner had not filed needed information with the city by council meeting time. In other action the January 1988 Treasurer's Report was approved by council vote. This report listed property tax receipts of $107,431 during the month including redemptions for December 1987. Total property tax collection for the budget year is $172,574 leaving $13,473 yet to be collected to match yearly budget estimates. The report also listed liquor tax distribution collections of $948 for the six months ending December 1987. There was council notation that this liquor tax was coming from only one outlet within city boundaries. Budget estimates show that liquor tax receipts should be $2,000 by June which is the end of budget year. There were no building permits issued during the moth of January, however, the Treasurers Report showed $17,525 received from State Sales tax allocation for the second quarter. Sales taxes at mid year are 1.1 percent greater than mid year budget estimates. Sales tax collections are $37,367 for both quarters. Budget estimates state that sales tax collections should be $73,000 by June. The January report also lists an additional $5 donated for the John Taylor Memorial Tree Fund. This brings collections in the Heritage Tree Fund to $1,000.95 for the year which is more than 500 percent greater than the yearly budget estimate of $200. Most of this amount has been contributed to the Taylor Fund by Mapleton citizens and by BYU Library employees who worked with John Taylor before his death. A concern was registered by council that solid waste collections would probably be increased substantially sub-stantially in the near future as new waste site regulations are met. By 1991 those responsible for solid waste sites must show that the sight does not contribute in any way to ground water contamination problems. This is a major change in the law. Until now corrections have had to be met for sites shown to cause water problems. Councilman Doyle Hatfield brought attention to the Planning Commission minutes asking that city water billing procedure be changed to monthly instead of every two months. The change would help the cash flow status for the city, but it would also double some work for city employees. em-ployees. No action was taken on this matter. Devils win!
