The recommended budget submitted to the Orem City Council by City Manager, Albert E. Haines, includes $14,013,876 for the four operating funds of the cityGeneral Fund, Water and Sewer Fund, Recreation Fund, and the Solid Waste Fund. The General Fund covers City Manager Man-ager and Administrative Services costs. The proposed budget allows for an assistant in the City Managers Office Of-fice and an accountant for Adminis trative Services to strengthen the internal in-ternal audit function for the city. The Police and Fire Department are also included in the General Fund, portion of the budget. The budget provides pro-vides for an increase in Police personnel per-sonnel to meet current growth in the area of traffic and related policy activities. ac-tivities. The budget does not call for any increase in personnel for the Fire Department. The Orem Public Library also draws funds from the General Fund and is scheduled to receive an extra $45,000 for its book budget that represents an increase over the level of current cur-rent services. ' The total expenditures for the services ser-vices covered by the General Fund are anticipated toamountto$8,092,352. The water and Sewer Fund projects a budget of $3,859,902 and is not requesting re-questing a rate increase at this time. The Recreation Fund budgeting is described by Mr. Haines as "tenuous at best" and indicates that the fluctuation fluctua-tion of activity in the various programs pro-grams needs to be closely studied to be able to make accurate budgetary budget-ary predictions. The first full year of operation of the Orem Community Recreation Center should show the Council and the public what appropriate appro-priate revenues will be required to maintain a satisfactory level of services. ser-vices. In a seperate portion of the budget a rate increast of eight percent is proposed to attempt to maintain the Solid Waste Fund on a competitive and self supporting basis. Besides allocations for the four ma jor operating funds of the city, monies mon-ies totaling $2,988,620 have been earmarked ear-marked for capital improvements. This money is intended for use in sidewalk side-walk development programs,, participation partici-pation in special improvement districts, dis-tricts, or curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements in existing developed lots. Mr. Haines explained the procedure-which procedure-which produces the tenative budget which is submitted to the City Council Coun-cil and citizens for approval. He said, "The departments submit requests to me and I try to think of the items of priority to the City Council. We try to maintain the level of service previously enjoyed by the citizens." The City Manager said that this year's budget is only about eight percent per-cent larger than last year's budget. "It's a vary austere budget because we're looking at a relatively tight economy next year," Mr. Haines concluded. con-cluded.

Parade Set June 21 A moritorium on construction in the Vineyard-Lakeview area was lifted, and a $2700 development fee in addition to the $700 acre annexation fee was approved ap-proved by the Orem City Council. Property owners in the area have expressed an interest in annexing and developing within the city, but the Council Coun-cil debated the merits of the proposed annexation. They were generally agreed that any development would have to be orderly and in the best interst of the city to be approved. There was much discussion about the City's responsibility to provide services to any annexed property. Councilman Coun-cilman Gillman said, "I'm opposed to annexing residential property because it never pays its own way. I'd annex Two Public U.S. Steel or Utah Power and Light, but annexing more homes won't help the city." ' Councilman Jackson indicated that although he did not favor uncontrolled annexation, he did feel that this was a problem that would eventually have to be dealt with. "I think this annexation annex-ation would strengthen the City's position po-sition because developers would have to bear the financial burden of $2700." The $2700 development fee was calculated cal-culated by considering the total acer-age acer-age in question, the'costtfor providing pro-viding water, sewer, storm drains, parks, and fire stations to the annexed an-nexed area. These figures provided the Council with the $2700acre development devel-opment fee guideline.
