Furthermore, the Foundation Foun-dation analysis is limited to generel fund expenditures and revenues. Excluded Ex-cluded are special revenue and spending spen-ding items, such as capital projects, debt service, etc. Some county budgets also may have to be revised this year as a result of a State Supreme Court decision and legislation enacted by the special session ses-sion of the 1984 Legislature. Because local valuations will be raised by 12 this year, taxing districts (including counties) must adjust their 1984 local mill rates so that the anticipated yield form the local property taxes charged charg-ed does not exceed 106 of the revenue of the district for the preceding year. This limitation may force some counties to adjust their 1984 budgets in order to stay within the 6 property tax increase allowed allow-ed for this year. Now, Therefore, I, DeLance W.

He cited the example of the $11.5 million water treatment plant which has been built for Orem. "The Central Utah Project has extended some real benefits to us. Right now they are treating water at cost for us," Jones said. Construction of a 15 million gallon water storage tank for Orem's water supply is also on the discussion agenda, Shaw said. "As far as I'm concerned Orem needs to work to sustain the CUP and make it work," Shaw added. before its final adoption in June.

Several programs in the district have undergone budget cuts but we have managed to keep basic educational programs intact." 1 1984 848 |
