We need to meet with the sheriff to get a cost breakdown on the services, he said, telling the commission that the city could then select the services it needs most and can afford. He said that such a method would be beneficial to both the county and city since it would educate both parties regarding the needs of the cities as well as the costs of law enforcement.

Is Thorpe dont have a source of revenue, he said. Speaking on behalf of Castle Dale City, councilman Ron Sanders said that while Castle Dale is not taxed to its legal limit, the city still wants a breakdown on law enforcement costs so that the council will have some figures to work with. Mayor Robert Roberts of Huntington told the commission that Huntington has been satisfied with the contract it has had with the county for police protection, but he added, We can see the other cities point. Were feeling the crunch now too, and we have questions about the fairness of it. He said the county should look at offering a base level of protection and offer other services based on the individual needs and ability to pay of each city. Spell out the basics then the additional expenses could be negotiated, he said although he indicated that Huntington wants to maintain its current level of protection.

The total tentative budget calls for revenue and expenditure of $6,230,408, but the revenue side of the budget is based on a 14.36 mill levy which is above the current assessment by over two mills. Mrs. Truman said that the county will not increase taxes to that point, but will opt to make cuts in the expense side of the budget to keep mills at the current level. The budget is just under the adopted budget of $6,485,789 of 1981 although revenue is expected to be substantially less than a year ago. The tentative boded does not include any anticipated revenue for law enforcement with county cities although that matter is currently being negotiated. Also, the tentative budget calls for over $70,000 for the Emery County Nursing Home which last year was budgeted $20,000 and had to solicit additional funding from the county several times during 1984. Mrs. Truman said that the tentative budget is somewhat of a wish list submitted by the various departments during the initial stages of the budgeting process. She said that while the budget needs over $200,000 cut before a final budget can be approved, that amount is considerably less than the million dollar plus figure of the 1984 tentative budget. The tentative budget is open to public scrutiny and is available in the auditor and clerk offices. The next budget hearing has been set for Dec. 7 at 10 a m. |
