County Commissioners will announce an-nounce their decision on their funding choice about a week prior to the election, after receiving citizen input and after further study. County Commissioners are letting voters make the decision. According to Utah law, the Commission could fund the proposal through a revenue bond to be paid for through a new 1 restaurant tax recently authorized by the legislature, without a vote of the people.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST1HE PROPOSAL Utah County doesn't need another tax increase. A new 1 tax on all prepared meals sold in the county would take $800,000 per year out of the pockets pock-ets of those who purchase meals from restaurants and fast food outlets. The proposal could raise property taxes $8 per year on an $80,000 home. This is an increase in-crease of 1.1 on the current average tax bill of $712 on the same home. If the facility is needed, it should be funded by those who use it. A special election will determine the fate of this project. State statutes require that the county give the voters only 21-35 days to consider the proposal.

If the proposal was on the November ballot, voters would be given more time to consider con-sider the value of the project. There is too much uncertainty uncer-tainty about how the Special Events Center will be paid for. When you vote in favor of the issuance of general obligation bonds, you give the county the right to hold the property owners responsible for the debt by increasing in-creasing property taxes. If the election is approved by voters, County Commissioners could choose to pay for this project with the restaurant tax or property taxes or a combination of both. Taxpayers should have the choice of deciding how the project is funded, not just whether it is funded. Governance of the proposed facility has not been adequately defined. This could lead to "turf battles between the UVCC and future County Commissioners. Com-missioners. Scheduling criteria have yet to be set for the center.
