RoeoOuo OcDGncaeflGoD ii SQaflomoGDfl The financial report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1975 was received by the city last week. The report, the result of an audit of Park City's finances conducted by Elmer Fox, Westheimer and Co., a Salt Lake City accounting firm1: Funds In explaining the findings of the audit, City Recorder Bruce Decker noted that the city's financial transactions concern two major funds, the utility fund and the general fund. The utility fund consists of all expenses and revenues stemming from the water and sewer departments. All oither city departments are operated out of the general fund, Decker said. For fiscal 75, the general fund showed revenues , of $492,000 and expenses totaling $488,000. These figures compare with 1974 revenues of $319,000 and expenses amounting to $288,000. . Utility fund revenues' for 1975 were reported at $218,000 while expenses ran $187,000. For fiscal 1974, the revenues were $185,000 while expenses were $168,000. Decker noted that the city met all its bond obligations during the past fiscal year. Services - The city recorder said the increase in expenses from 1974 to 1975 could be explained ex-plained by ' the fact that "people are being more demanding about services provided by the city." An increase in the number of people, businesses and buildings in town also contributed con-tributed largely to the rise in expenditures, the recorder added. ':- Rates Decker remarked that no rate increases were imposed last year whereas the business license fee and contractor registration fee were lowered. Helping the city to adjust to growth, Decker said, are the building permit and impact fees which are calculated on a percent of project value. Expansion '- In reviewing the financial statement, Decker predicted considerable expansion in the city's budget in the next few years. N He foresees the creation of a city : transportation department in the near future and said Park City will require its own 24-hour police dispatcher in two or three . years. In addition, the erection of new housing subdivisions will necessitate an enlarged city road crew, Decker observed. No Increased Burden Although city expansion will create a need for greater city services, Decker said he is hopeful this can be accomplished ac-complished without imposing an increased financial burden on present residents of Park City. . . ' This may be accomplished, ' he noted, due to the building and impact fees which will be incurred by developers. He also observed that the subdivision of land results in greater property . tax ...... r .1 :.. Milk QOKJb tyf(MW 'MtitLKhlft l.i ii - :t ill S '!! iii'i' Aim Top of Mj'ih Street .
