Show Qty council votes yes on bond election PARK CITY The Newspaper Thursday, May 21, 1981 Page A5 After months of discussion and two public hearings, the City Council voted last Thursday Thurs-day to hold a special general obligation bond election elec-tion June 16 to finance four municipal projects. Like the residents who appeared ap-peared at the public input sessions, the council was split on their feelings about the projects. A vote was taken on each project as to whether it would appear on the election ballot. Both Councilman Richard Martinez and Tom Shellenberger Shellen-berger voted against including in-cluding bonds up to $4.6 million to finance the construction con-struction of a multi-purpose arena. The arena, proposed to be built in the vicinity of City Park, would include parking and would be used as an ice arena, convention center, and concert hall. All five council members voted unanimously in favor of including on the ballot $750,000 in bonds for the renovation of the Miners Hospital into a public library, and up to $1.4 million for improvements to City Park. Councilman Shellenberger voted no to the proposal that up to $1.7 million dollars be spend on the construction of a field house sports facility. The field house would be built in cooperation with the Park City School District and would be attached to the proposed Middle School east of the high school. A fifth vote was taken on the proposal that all four projects be included on the election ballot, to which Shellenberger and Martinez voted no. Prior to the vote, resident Tom Hurd again voiced his opposition to the bond election. elec-tion. Hurd has appeared before the council several times in the past months and at the public hearings, expressing ex-pressing concerns that the issuance of $7.5 million in bonds would result in property tax increases that he said he and many others could not afford. According to charts prepared by the council, if all the projects were approved ap-proved in an election, property taxes would increase in-crease an average of $260 a year throughout the town. In response to Hurd's opposition, op-position, Councilwoman Helen Alvarez put the anticipated an-ticipated property tax increase in-crease into perspective. She noted that many residents were willing to pay $32 a month for cable television service, which she called "marginal entertainment," yet balked at the idea of spending less that that per month for four recreational facilities. She noted that a project such as the park improvement im-provement provided not only entertainment, but increased in-creased the value of the property, and therefore "is high on my list of priorities." Hurd reiterated that he felt an election should not be held at all. Resident Steve Kloeck told the council he felt Hurd was in the "vocal minority. I don't want to see the taxes go out of sight, but look what we'll receive for our money. Let the people decide in an election." On the ballot on June 16, voters will find the projects separated into four propositions, each one requiring a "yes" or "no" vote. All registered voters are eligible to vote in this election, whether or not they are property owners. In future issues of The Newspaper, there will be both voter registration and polling place information. $wbIy Historical Society office sees the light Since the March 13th dedication of the Park City Dungeon as the Historical Society office, continued efforts ef-forts have been .made to create an inviting environment environ-ment for volunteers and visitors. Certainly a project of this dimension requires time (and patience! ) and continuing continu-ing volunteer efforts and donations to convert a cold and lifeless cell into an office and museum. Although progress prog-ress is slow, a major improvement occurred last week when Alpine Electric and Ernie Mutcher per formed a labor of love by installing additional lighting to the main area. The light enables visitors to more clearly see the historic photograph on display and the volunteers to be more efficient in the sorting of documents, organization of files, responding to requests for information, and working out details on projects. Currently, volunteers are working on the Glenwood Cemetery restoration projectclean-up campaign, the June 20 Heritage Home Tour, oral history-tape library, li-brary, and the publication of a monthly Historical Society newsletter. The Historical Society is slowly acquiring artifacts of mining and domestic days-gone-by. The society is in need of volunteers to construct con-struct a secure display case for these items. Efforts are being made to design a new walking tour brochure. Anyone Any-one interested in working on these projects is asked to contact Tika Beard at 649-7497. 649-7497. Thanks to Alpine Electric for making the Historical Society office more useable! THSRSBAY kBIlS IlGHT No cover charge for gals. Discount drinks. Excluding concert nights.
