Some of the items discussed included the following (taken from the unapproved minutes of the meeting): Ivan Munk, of Centerfield, asked if he could come into this area to contract for hauling of garbage. He was told that an agreement existed which had been made in 1979. However, City Attorney Mike der to use some of the accumulated support public schools was 13 surpluses to meet critical needs in education and other ares of state greater than the average of all of the Mountain States; and 27 higher than the nation as a whole. Utah ranked 6th among the 50 states in the relative state and local effort make to support public schools. Despite this superior effort to support public schools, Utah ranked the 50 states by a wide margin in the amount of personal income available for each enrolled student. Due to the unusually heavy school load and the extremely low financial ability, Utah has always been forced to make a superior effort to finance its public education. Last year, Utahs effort to v I dollars invested in education government Because of Utahs high number of students, Utah ranks last among jr IS THIS REALLY SANTA? This little one held tightly to Daddy as she visited with Santa at Salina City Hall last Friday night. Santa and his helpers had treats for all the children, and hope he has a good memory so he can remember all their requests. Santa will also be making his appearance on December 6th at Zions Bank at their annual Lights On Program. Utah receives good return on Utah generally receives good value for the education dollar expended. This was the bottom line of a report on public education problems recently completed by Utah Foundation. The study point out that even with all of its problems, Utah does very well in the overall performance of its students. Utah pupils exceed national norms in comprehensive tests of basic skills and in advance placement exams which allow students to receive college credit for work completed in high school. According to the report, Utahs education problems stem mainly from the fact that school enrollments in the state have been growing rapidly over the past 25 years, while they were going down in other parts of the nation. This placed Utah at a considerable disadvantage when comparisons are made with other states. The program was compounded by a struggling Utah economy during the early 1980s and the fact that the state has an extraordinarily high ratio of school age children. To meet this challenge, Utah taxpayers were called upon to pay higher taxes in 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1987 to help meet some of the revenue shortfalls. The last increase - the largest in the states history - triggered the tax protest movement of 1988. Analysts emphasize that the public schools will not be the only funding problem facing the 1990 Utah Legislature. Higher education, highways, law enforcement, social services, and other state programs also were asked to make sacrifices when the states economy was having serious problems. All of these groups along with the Utah taxpayer must be considered when the legislature decides what to do with the available state funds. The Governor indicates that he favors retention of Utahs expenditure limitation law, but that he might support a one year override in or y f last among the states in the amount spent per school child. Other complains cited by educators include large classes; a shortage of textbooks and supplies; and low teacher salaries. Jorgensen will check into the ordinances on agreements and the Council will make their decision after hearing the attorneys remarks - at the next meeting. Neil Curtis presented the 1988-8- 9 Audit to the Council members. Worth and Grim shaw Associates will be paid $3,275 for doing the audiL City Supervisor Scott Holt asked the Council to tell him when to do the work at Pioneer Cemetery - to put water lines in. After discussion, the Council said: 1. No cattle guards will be put in. 2. No work on water lines will be done until Spring. Attorney Jorgensen reported that the final EPA payment on the Sewer Lagoon has been received and will now be closed out He also noted that the Water pollution should be paid off in 13 years instead of 20; and FHA in 10 years instead of 20. The Council discussed the election misconduct situation. After which the motion was accepted to adopt the last paragraph on page 1 of the letter from County Attorney Don Brown, and send letters to the persons concerned. The motion was adopted that Judge Thad Wasden do no Aurora or Redmond business while in the Salina City Office. Other items included: Approval to install the phone lines to the EMT building.
