It's a distressing sound, but thanks to the efforts of the local volunteer force and Holy Cross Hospital, those in need of, help can be comforted comfort-ed that up-to-date equipment and trained personnel are on the way. Last month, Holy Cross Hospital took over the city's ambulance service, and now waiting and ready is a brand new emergency vehicle to take the place of the worn-out worn-out Modulance that has served the city for the past five years. And it's a good thing the new ambulance is here. "From May 23, when Holy Cross took over the service, until now, we've made 25 runs, which is absolutely incredible for this time of year," said Suzanne Shellen-berger, Shellen-berger, coordinator of the Emergency Medical Technician Techni-cian staff and ambulance service. "Generally in May, we have about two calls, because the resort is closed, businesses are shut down, and many people are away on vacation. Having that new ambulance was really a help." Manning the $30,000 ambu lance purchased by Holy Cross are two full-time EMTs who are on duty from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Mrs. Shell-enberger Shell-enberger pointed out that, although the two EMTs are "full-time," their pay is something less than could be expected for such long hours $20 a day. After 6 p.m., there are 17 paid volunteers who will answer the Plectron call for help. "Paid" volunteers also is a misleading term, since those EMTs are given $10 a run. "The paid volunteers are not scheduled for full-time, .but when they're on, they can't go fishing for the weekend, for instance," Mrs. Shellenberger said. "It's a difficult job, and these volunteers volun-teers are so generous with their time. There are a lot of rewards. The $10, really, is like someone saying 'thank-you.' 'thank-you.' It's a token ol appreciation." apprecia-tion." Mrs. Shellenberger was emphatic in her appreciation of Holy Cross, who is sponsoring the emergency care system in Park City. She noted that the hospital will pick up major expenses, such as the ambulance, as well as pay volunteers. "But we are still a volunteer volun-teer service with fundraising needs," Mrs. Shellenberger emphasized. "Holy Cross has never said no to us for any expenses, but there is a moral limitation to what we can ask for. This is a community service, and we need the help of the residents to keep it growing." . The EMT director pointed out that citizens have been very supportive of the service. ser-vice. "Enoch Smith gives us $100 a month. ..he's been marvelous," marve-lous," she said. "We need that kind of support. We're planning on having a booth at the Arts Festival to generate more funds." As for the future of the Park City volunteer emergency service. Mrs. Shellenberger said it will have to grow with the town. "We're looking toward a time when there will be many more people in Park City, and we need to constantly con-stantly upgrade our capabilities. capabili-ties. Right now, I'd say we're about caught up. But we desperately need to keep training volunteers. There's no way that we can do what we're doing for long with the number of people we have. There are 17 of us out there hustling our little buns off now, and it's going to keep growing. We're really excited ex-cited about how far we've come and the help of Holy Cross. But we need all the community support we can get." Mrs. Shellenberger commented com-mented that anyone interested interest-ed in learning to become an Emergency Medical Technician Techni-cian is more than welcome to call her for information. She noted the next training classes will be held in September. SUMMIT ENGJNEERJNG Announces the Opening of Its Hew Office at 1160 Park Avenue. Surveying Services Engineering Planning Box 493 Park City 649-8808 Reappraisals To Equalize Property Values Submitted By Summit County Commissioners Summit County property owners have been receiving notices of property valuation in the mail over the past few days. To many, the value assigned may be considerably consider-ably higher than that assigned assign-ed in past years. This is the result of a countywide re-appraisal that has been undertaken in the last year. Under state law, the Utah State Tax Commission has conducted the reappraisal in an effort to keep property values as close to current market value as possible and therefore, to more or less equalize property values throughout the State. Property that has not been appraised for some time will show the largest increase in " value. Newer homes and improvements which are closer to current market values will show less of a change. Property owners should look at several things in reviewing the assessment notice. First, is the description descrip-tion of the property and improvements accurate? Property assessments may only be changed if there is an error in the computation of the assessment or in the description of the property. Second, the Market Value Listing shows what a given piece of property is considered consider-ed to be worth for sale on the open market. This is com puted based on standard guidelines and may be high or low depending on real estate conditions in the local area. Third, the Assessed Value Figure is used in conjunction with the mill levy figure to compute the property tax. By law, the assessed value is set at 20 percent of estimated market value. The mill levy, the other figure needed to determine the property tax, has not been set at this time. Each separate taxing jurisdiction in the county has the power to set its own mill levy and this will be done by August. School district boards set the school mill levy, fire district boards set the fire district mill levy, city councils set the mill levy for the cities, and the Board of County Commissioners set the mill levy for the county. Mill levies are set based on the total value in the jurisdiction and the revenue needs of the entity according to approved budgets. Taxpayers can influence in-fluence the amount of property pro-perty tax they pay be attending and having a voice in budget hearings. By decreasing governmental school district budgets, the mill levy can be decreased. A reduction in the mill levy will bring about a reduction in the property tax. After each jurisdiction has determined its mill levy in August, the toals are com bined for any specific piece of property. The total mill levy is then multiplied by the assessed value for the property pro-perty and the property tax computed (Note: Mill means 1-1000 or $1 tax per $1,000 assessed value. As an example, exam-ple, a piece of property with an assessed value of $5,000 having a mill levy set at 50 mills would be computed as follows: 5,000 times .050 equals $250). The 1979 mill levies for Summit County Property owners ranged from a high of 89.44 mills for Park City property owners to a low of 49.64 mills for property owners in unincorporated county, North Summit School District. Because 1980 assessed values will be considerably higher than those used in 1979, the 1980 mill levies for each jurisdiction should be reduced. By law a jurisdiction jurisdic-tion cannot increase its total tax revenue by more than 6 percent in a reappraisal year. Property owners should realize that while on the whole, the revenue for each jurisdiction cannot be increased beyond this amount, individual property which has been undervalued for years may experience an increase of many times this amount. The county is the jurisdiction jurisdic-tion charged with the responsibility re-sponsibility for property assessment, and notice and collection of property taxes. Each jurisdiction, school board, city or fire district is responsible for the amount of tax collected by virtue of the mill levy set. In the end, most of the tax dollars collected by the county are forwarded to other jurisdictions. jurisdic-tions. The percentages will vary depending on the jurisdictions juris-dictions involved. For example, ex-ample, if the property is not located within a city there would be not tax apportion to the city and the percentages for other jurisdictions increased in-creased proportionally. The Summit County Board of Equalization will be meeting meet-ing on June 23, June 24, June 25, June 27 and July 1, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. each day in the Summit County Courthouse. This is prior to the time when mill levies are set and actual taxes computed, therefore, property owners should be aware that their purpose for appearing before the Board of Equalization can only be to correct miscomputed property pro-perty assessments or errors made in appraising property improvements. A final note has to do with property tax relief. State Circuit Breaker Tax laws allow tax relief for certain qualifying individuals, including in-cluding senior citizens, and widows. Persons who feel they may qualify for Circuit Breaker Tax Relief should apply through the office of the Summit County Clerk in Coalville. Recollections and Photos Needed for Miners Hospital Renovation Shangri - La Ent. imiuhint in Window Washing. Janitorial, M ainlrnana- & Kt-puir Smiic I oh Prim, Reliable Work, KriT hslimati-s CALL ROB & MIC HKLLK 649-6887 Architect Wally Cooper met with the Park City Library Board last week to discuss plans for the renovation of the Miners Hospital to make way for the community resource center. Cooper was selected recently from a long list of applicants to restore the historic building and ready it for its transformation to the new city library. Cooper told the board he spent the past week inspecting the hospital with a structural engineer. He commented the hospital is fairly sound, but the floors are sagging and need to be reinforced to bear the weight of numerous books. Cooper .said an original staircase .and bannister still are intact, " and two rooms on the second floor have tin ceilings. Unfortunately, Un-fortunately, vandals have destroyed much of the interior in-terior ornamentation, with just a few sections of the original molding remaining. With those sections, however, molding can be duplicated, and missing windows can be replaced using those still existing as models. According to City Coun-cilwoman Coun-cilwoman Tina Lewis, the building will be fenced to deter vandals, and the inside of the building will be cleaned out. She said some rearrangement of the interior in-terior walls might be necessary to open up the floors to accommodate the library. "But Wally is going to try to return the building as closely as possible to the original," Mrs. Lewis said. "We're asking that anyone who has photographs or can recollect the old library, let us know, so we can aid with the historic restoration. " Mrs. Lewis said the architect ar-chitect hopes to duplicate the original paint color and interior in-terior trimmings, as well as restore the exterior to its original design. But to deal with modern times, some changes will have to be made, including adding a second exit for fire saftey and to install conveniences for the handicapped. Russel Davis of the Utah State Library Commission will help plan the layout of the library once it is renovated. Mrs. Lewis said a feasibility study is being prepared by Cooper, and hopefully will be completed by July 15. At that point, a detailed architectural plan will be prepared. "This is really very exciting," ex-citing," Mrs. Lewis said. "We're so pleased to have Mr. Cooper working on the project. And now we're putting put-ting out a call for stories or photographs that will help shed light on the research of the hospital." Mrs. Lewis said if the renovation goes as planned, the city should have a new library by next spring.
