Burrows and Smith, a fiscal agent company in Salt Lake City, has been retained to make the arrangements necessary for the election. The election will be held in conjunction with the general election in November, it appears, although an earlier special election is a possibility. City fathers received word recently that a $900,000 loan from the Farmers Home Administration has been okayed for the $1.25 million water project. loan. That loan is a But FHA also informed the city that an earlier projected cost of $1.4 million had been pared back to the $1.25 million. As a result, FHA said the city isn't eligible for a $183,000 outright grant. loan interest, should be forthcoming from the State Division of Water Rights. The city will also be expected to come up with $50,000 at the outset for the project. The improvement project would provide increased reservoir storage of about one million gallons, new distribution lines into the ci(y and spring improvements. In addition to improving the water system, another benefit should be a better fire rating for the community. FHA has proposed that the city increase its water rate to $9 for the first 15,000 gallons a month for residential users. The next 10,000 gallons per month would cost 50 cents per thousand and all over 25,000 gallons per month would cost 75 cents per thousand gallons. A $300,000, no Commercial and industrial users would also pay $9 for the first 15,000 gallons. 60 cents per thousand for the next 10,000 gallons and $1 per thousand for everything over 25,000 gallons per month. The present charge is $5 for 20,000 gallons per month. Since meters are read quarterly, an overage charge of 15 cents per thousand gallons over 60,000 gallons is charged. Such monthly fees would generate an estimated $101,520. FHA also feels overage charges would generate $33,840 and new connections would generate around $3,000, yielding annual revenues of $138,360. Estimated annual operating and maintenance costs amount to $50,600. Debt repayment would be $69,970 annually and $5,200 annually on existing indebtedness until 1984. (cont. on page five) israf ion.

GoHkond Civy Will Moirce Bwn Low 0 V Garland City residents who insist on burning their trash may get a visit from their local fire department, courtesy of the city council. The council recently voted to begin enforcing a state burning law by calling the fire department when violations are noted. The culprit would then be asked to pay a bill for the fire call. The state law effectively outlaws burn barrels and requires that a special permit be obtained for any outside burning. That permit is available from the fire department. "It's not a Garland City ordinance," said a council member. "It is a state law." In other action, the city council has urged residents who don't want to participate in the new contracted garbage service to let it know.

The mayor has stressed from the outset of the new service, that it is not mandatory. "We'd rather that people would do it voluntarily," he noted. On another note, council members voted to hire a building inspector to police city building codes. Building permit fees have also been increased to reflect the scale suggested in state building codes. The new inspector is Merrill Johnson of Tremonton. Johnson also serves as inspector for Tremonton. Mayor Griffin said the new fees are "very similar" to those in Tremonton, being based on the value of the job. A building permit fee is not required unless the value of the project exceeds .)(M). |
