New Utah! - Wednesday, May 23, 2001 - Page 13 District sells $40 million in bonds to begin construction of new schools Members of the Alpine School District board of education edu-cation met in a special ses-. sion May 15 to officially canvas can-vas the votes of the $200 million bond election approved May 8 by voters in the district, and to approve the process to sell the first $40 million of the funds. The remaining $160 million will be spent as the next few years as growth necessitates necessi-tates new facilities and further fur-ther planned remodeling and renovations are completed.. com-pleted.. Keith Bradford, district business administrator, said everything appeared fair. He noted there was one ballot bal-lot missing from each of two districts. This could have meant that someone walked out forgetting to cast their vote. The official count was 6,743 "yes" and 5,471 "no" for 55.2 percent approval. 14.86 percent of the registered voters turned out. The bond is believed to be the largest ever approved in the state of Utah. Anticipated date for the issuance of the first $40 million is the last of June or the first part of July. It is to be used for construction of two new elementary schools and a junior high school, remodeling at Orem High School, an addition at Cherry Hill elementary school, and school site purchases. pur-chases. "Now if the time to build the platform for your next election" said Carl Empey, vice president of Zion's Bank public finance and the financial advisor to the board on the bond. Empey said with "near historic lows in the interest rate market, that will facilitate a lower tax interest to pay off the bonds." He said the federal interest inter-est rate was cut on Tuesday (the day of the meeting), and there may be another cut in June. Alpine District typically goes out 15 years on debt. This time, the early years of repaying will result in lower interest rate. More information on the sale of the bond, go to the district Website at www.alpine.kl2.ut.us. Sheriff seeks help in return of saddles The Utah County Sheriffs Office is asking the help of the public in solving the theft of saddles in northern Utah County and southern Salt Lake County between November 2000 and now.. Sheriff's Sgt. Dennis Harris said approximately 75 saddles, primarily roping show saddles, have been taken. Values range from $2,000 to $6,000 per saddle. Officers believe the thefts are connected and that a group of suspects are responsible. Anyone with information is encouraged to call 370-UTIP or the Utah County Sheriff's Office. A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of suspects involved. Correction The article "How bond and other levies affect 'property tax" should have stated Lehi's property tax hike was affected by the $7 million levy for the city's community center, cemetery ceme-tery land purchase and an addition and renovation to the public library. Also, it again needs to be noted that property taxes ratings fluctuate. fluctu-ate. Later this year, some cities may lead out in higher property taxes than others when they submit to raise taxes in order to fund municipal munici-pal projects. Sheriff sets up county hotline to fight crime The Utah County Sheriffs Office has set up a telephone hot line for citizens citi-zens of Utah County to report criminal activity anonymously or in person. Officers believe that in order for law enforcement to be truly effective, they must work closely with citizens. citi-zens. "We realize that there are many criminal activities that are witnesses by citizens, citi-zens, however, many are afraid to call the police because of perceived repercussions reper-cussions if the bad guy should find out said Sheriffs Sgt. Dennis Harris. "We have made it easy for anyone to call and just leave a tip for the police anonymously or in person. . This is a 24-hour hot line," he said. During business hours a person can talk with a detective secretary and choose whether or not to leave their name, or they can call all other times and just leave an anonymous message. Officers would prefer to talk with a person and stay in touch with the reporting person should they need additional information. "We have already started to receive some calls regarding regard-ing those individuals that are wanted on outstanding warrants and have evaded law enforcement for quite some time," Harris said. The Sheriff Office is currently cur-rently in the process of putting put-ting a sticker on each of the patrol vehicles which says, "To report Criminal Activity 370-UTIP." j 25.T Redeemable at Fakler Pleasant Grove ;1 Fikler Tir Budt jStBsCfe FUer Tire Bucks : 5 5 w- : M Twenty-Five Dollars Off Purchase :? l j of set f 4 tires rL tfiJZ I Bus. 785.6555 TKSStfa PLEASANT GROVE 035 S.
