The way to achieve this stability according to Wells, "is to provide additional services and by attracting more permanent residents to the Park City area." He "M-i, "Whether people like ; not, in the next fiye years I rk City will develop as a j pe of sriut f lttepktonbefichigaUli City."' Commenting on the planning commission's past policies, Wells said, "There has been a little too much emphasis on control at times" and that the Planning Commission "could make it easier for businesses to get into Park City." ; As far as how the city has developed in comparison to other resort towns, the new planning commission member feels, "Park City is head and shoulders above other resort areas as far as quality development is , concerned." Offering his opinion on what Park City is most in need of, Wells suggested that a hotel and convention facilities would be a major asset.

Wells, who is a Certified Public Accountant, worked for the Arthur Anderson accounting firm in New Orleans before he moved to Park City 6 years ago to work for the Greater Park City Company. He is presently a general Corporation, the real estate holdings of which include the Silver King Lodge, the Marsac Mill House Manor complex and a tract of land adjacent to the Mount Air Market. With regards to the land near the Mount Air Mraket, Wells said his company is investigating the possibility of developing a small shopping center in that area. As a planning commission member, Wells suggests 1 that he could be described as "growth orientated" ar.d as "a ' hard liner concerning property rights."

Are course offerings in Park City High School comparable to offerings in those of other high schools of similar size? , Do high school graduation and program of studies requirements meet minimum standards of the State Board of Education? City To Buy Snow Blower For Sidewalks Park City Manager Wayne Matthews has been given permission by the city council to purchase a new snow Main Street and possibly lower Park Avenue. Matthews, who has tried the machine which sells for $2,300, said it is far more effective than most of the more expensive snow removal equipment that the city has been considering. The council also instructed Matthews to continue his investigation of two bids received on a new mini pumper fire truck for the city. Since one of the bids for the truck was $22,000 while the other was $26,992, the council inquired if both bids equally met the desired specifications.

Manufacturers list ' Nw Budget Proposal Calls For More School Money State expenditures totaling $914.5 million were recommended recom-mended by the Governor in his proposed budget for the . 1976-77 fiscal year. This was reported by Utah Foundation, the private research organization in their analysis of the budget presented Monday by the Governor to the 1976 Utah Budget Session. Included in the 1976-77 budget total are $909.1 million for regular expenditures from current revenues plus $5.4 million from surplus. The proposed budget of $909 million from - current revenues is approximately $87 million, or . 11 percent greater than estimated expenditures ex-penditures for 1975-76 and nearly $245 million or 37 percent greater than the expenditure total in the 1974-75 1974-75 fiscal year. According to the Foundation Foun-dation analysts approximately ap-proximately 48.8 percent of the 1976-77 state budget will go for education. Total expenditures ex-penditures for education will increase by $51.6 million, or 13.2 percent next year under the Governor's budget. Although the Governor's budget contemplates no increase in-crease in state taxes, the Foundation report notes that Utah's unemployment tax paid by employers will automatically rise this year under the provisions of existing law. The Governor's budget recommends that the sales tax be eliminated on prescription' drugs. Among brtant . uded in the Governor's budget are the following: Keeping electric power in its Be appliance use. m mi it State support of the public schools program will be raised by the budget from $621 to $684 per weighted pupil unit, an increase of about 10.1 percent. In addition, ad-dition, it was proposed that categorical grants be increased in-creased and a , new categorical item of $3.5 million be made to help reduce ; class size. The Governor also suggested the school program in - future years be tied to changes in the consumer's price index. The increase in the index between 1974 and 1975 amounted to 7.8 percent. As noted, ' the Governor recommended an increase of about 10 percent in the basic school program for next year., Recommended appropriation appropr-iation . of state funds for higher education be set at $99.6 million for next year, an increase of 13.1 percent over the amount provided during , the current (1975-76) fiscal year. State -appropriations recommended for social services would be raised by approximately 17 percent from $64.2 million in 1975-76 to $75.1 million in 1976-77. This larger than average increase for social services is explained ex-plained by the fact that the State found It necessary to replace some terminated or reduced Federal grants with state dollars.
