Show Friday, April Provo Gutting Budgets Bovsn To 'Bare Bones' Herald Staff Writer An upcoming episode of the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," may prompt many Utah Valley residents to wonder if the famous Os- mond family is " Provo City department heads are working to cot their budget requests back to "bare bones" after city administrators asked for one final round of budget cuts during this week's staff meeting dubbed by some the "Tuesday Morning Massacre." Jke "massacre" terminology refers to a meeting this week in which city department heads learned what most had anticipated all along city departments are facing another tight budget year which won t allow increases in services or personnel. Mayor James Ferguson and Chief Administrative Officer Cbet Waggener say more cuts were necessary after reviews of budget requests made it clear that revenues wouldn't match proposed expenditures. "The department heads really have done a good job at paring back their requests- ,- says Ferguson. "It's simply a matter of matching programs to revenues." Ferguson and Waggener are projecting another "bare-bone-s" budget this year after flood expenditures depleted city reserves. Ferguson says there will be few, if any, personnel increases this year and city services will remain at 1963-8-4 levels. Taxes will also remain at current levels under Ferguson's proposed budget Administrators still aren't sure if rates will change for city services such as water, sewer, garbage and electricity. Ferguson must submit his proposal to the city council next week, after which council members will have until June IS to review, change if necessary, and approve the final version of the 196445 budget and set the mill levy. Ferguson anticipates working with department heads through the weekend in order to have the budget ready for next Tuesday's city council meeting. area.

MAYOR: Haymond Defends Spring ville Redevelopment ' (CoBtbned from Page 1) from purchases that our citizens are lations director, even ; "It is not hard for me to see that when we don't shop here the sales tax dollars are going to another community and essentially those who shop outside of Springville are paying twice." First, says the mayor, they pay sales tax in Provo, Orem, Spanish Fork or wherever they shop and then they pay for the shortfall in revenues to Springville in other ways. "We are proud that we have been able to hold the line on property taxes for a long time, but I don't know how much longer that can last. "If we had to make up the (100,000 shortfall in sales tax with property taxes, for example, they would go up 25 percent. "Fortunately we are strong in other revenue producing areas right now, but we can't count on that year after year." Haymond answers his critics, "With this sort of financial situation facing us, we are seeking to stimulate business and that is our only motive. "When I was elected, several citizens asked me to do something about cleaning up the downtown area. We had a survey conducted not long after that and found that 76 percent of the community wanted a central shopping district with 40 percent of those people wanting it to be located in the downtown area. The other 60 percent were split evenly between those who didn't really care where it was and those who wanted it in the Westfields where we have been developing our very successful Industrial Park." Answering charges the plan is designed to rob people of their homes, Haymond says, "We are not trying to take anything from that won't benefit them and the city. I remember this city when I was in high school in the 50's and the yearbook carried ads from dozens of businesses that are no longer here. "Many of them left when the freeway went around the city in the 60's and then we went to parallel parking. "I live in this city and I like the things it stands for in the area of art, civic pride and a great place to raise our kids. I am not interested in seeing any kind of development that will rob citizens of their homes to make some developer rich. old or young "However, I am interested in seeing us have the kind of community we want and being able to have a downtown area my neighbors and I feel good about supporting in terms of the kind of businesses that meet our shopping needs. It would be more convenient for us and it will keep our hard earned dollars here in Springville. Haymond said, "This plan will work if local businessmen or outside developers want to develop a project in our downtown area. We can encourage that with economic incentives that are the only powers we are interested in exercising because we want to help, not hurt, the people of Springville."

Between Thursday morning and today, Provo officers responded to eight accident reports, none of which resulted in major injuries or were attributed to the weather. This morning, Geraldine Jones, 35, Provo, was treated for minor injuries and released from Utah the deserting six-c- Page i resident for two years. "They won't totally move from the valley," Clark said recently. "They want to raise their kids here. They love the four seasons and they dislike the congestion of the cities. But facts are facts. You have to go at times where your work takes you." Work often takes Marie and Donny to California so maintaining homes there makes sense. The four older Osmond Brothers, Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay, are busy recording in Utah and one of their latest songs, If Every Man Had A Woman Like You, is climbing the country charts. "It's probably the strongest song they've had in two years," Clark pointed out Other than specials, the country probably won't see the Osmond Family perform again. "I doubt you will see them on stage again, ever," Clark said. "People will not buy a concert ticket again to see the Osmond Family." The family is not leaving the entertainment business, he said. Last summer the family had a final tour together but for the past five years they have each been going their own direction. "Each member of the family is pursuing their own entity. They're grown up now and no longer the kids that come home at night and put their feet up to the same kitchen table." Donny and Jimmy have separate managers in California handling their business affairs while Marie and the Osmond Brothers share a manager in Utah. While the children are off on their own careers, George and Olive Osmond, their parents, are enjoying retirement life and are no longer involved in the business. Besides "with 29 other little Osmonds around, there's plenty to do. And they have them (the grandchildren) a lot," Clark said.
