Show 10 A DESERET NEWS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER Racquet Club hotel vetoed by planners 23, 1976 Expect budget cuts, sheriff told By Hal Spencer Deseret News staff writer The old saving about the cop never being around when you need him may prove true in unincorporated Sait Lake County next year. f'omity Klin iff Delrnar Larson was told blun'lj Monday during a budget workshop session that he should forget about a Ludget increase and look for ways to cut spending in his $6.7 million operations budget. We'll have to make decisions on what kind of calls from the public not to answer," commented the sheriffs budget planner. Michael Riordnn. 1 can see that right now." Larson, requesting a $1 million spending increase to hire 10 additional deputies and grant pay increases among other things, was told he may have to cut his present budget by 10 percent just to keep pace with inflation. Larson credited a 1976 increase in manpower with a drop in crime in the county, and warned that budget cuts would reverse the crime rate. About the only thing we can cut," complained the sheriff, are services personnel. 'Crime is going to go up and theres going to be lug criticism of the sheriff and the commission, warned Lai-o- n The sheriff said personnel cutbacks will include layoffs of school crossing guards. Well get 80,000 screaming mothers down on us and the commission, Riordan said after the session. Auditor Jim Snow repeated the countys serious financial dilemma for 1977. Due to poor tax revenue nmjrrtiniu and the absence of surolus funds for the first tune in years, the county is $2 million short of meeting even its 1976 general fund budget of $63.4 million. With inflation, were down by $7 million, said Snow Youre just one of many departments, sheriff, that has to start looking for cuts." Larson said the county has passed up a chance to rake in thousands of dollars in revenue by failing to levy standard fines of traffic violators. He complained that county justices of the peace dont follow a fine schedule and thus dont collect a maximum amount of money. The sheriff, somewhat testily, also demanded to know why juvenile traffic violators arent referred to JFs instead of juvenile court, where their wrists are slapped and nothing more. Juveniles who violate traffic regulations can do as much damage as an adult, and should be sent to adult courts, said Larson. They should be fined for their actions, just like adults. Countv Attorney Paul Van Dam agreed that JPs should start following a fine schedule, proposed months ago by his office. He also agreed with Larson that juvenile traffic offenders should go before judges in adult courts. Theres nothing illegal in that. The only limitation would be that we cant put juveniles in jaU if they dont pay the fine. said Van Dam. State urged County wrestles with budget delay computer pact Salt Lake County commissioners and the director of social services today wrestled with the catch-2- 2 of lederal and state grant programs. The problem is that when the county cuts 20 cents from the social services budget, it may lose 80 cents m federal or state matching funds. Cathy Gilmore, acting social services director, outlined this problem for commissioners during a budget workshop session, where she is asking for a 16 percent increase in the departments $6.6 million ouugei. Meanwhile, out at Lagoon, lame duck County Commissioner Ralph Y. McClure, in charge of the social services program, began work as a bit player in a movie being filmed there. McClures administrative aides provided only sketchy details, but said McClure won a part as a politician in an audition Monday. McClure told a reporter Monday that Republican commissioner-elec- t William Hutchinson would have little or no say in the formulation of the 1977 social services budget. But Hutchinson today attended the workshop session and offered several suggestions regarding the federal and state grants dilemma. The Social Services Department, like others in the county, is being asked to cut spending by 10 percent, if possible, to help fill a shortfall of $2 million in county coffers. County Auditor Jim Snow blames the shortfall on poor revenue projections and the absence of surplus funds in the county treasury. With inflation, the shortfall actually is about $7 million, he said. Hutchinson said the county should budget social services a maximum amount for the first six months of 1977. Money would then be available to match state By Dexter C. Ellis Deseret News political editor Utah legislative leaders, who have been on die iusiug end of a bailie with the Slate Board of Examiners over travel pay, set up another possible confrontation Monday afternoon. The Legislative Management Com2 to ask the board to mittee voted withhold "binding action on a computer 6-- See related story on B-- l management contract until after the new Legislature, which meets in January, can review the proposal. The Board of Examiners has called a hearing Wednesday on the proposal to sign $20 million contract with the a five-yea-r Boeing Co. of Seattle to manage the states computer program. However, the majority of the Management Committee, composed of the leadership of the Utah House of Representatives and Senate, said the state should not be obligated for this amount without consideration by the newly-electe- d Legislature. A lame duck Board of Examiners and a lame duck Legislature should not make decisions of this magnitude," Sen. Darrell told the Deseret G. Renstrom Utah-ldah- News. Sen. Warren E. Pugh, Lake, and George, voted Rep. Sidney J. Atkin, t. against 'the motion,, which was made by Rep. Ronald Halverson, Atkin said the motion would only result in more delay, since new legislators would have to be briefed on the computer problems and the proposed solution. He said he is more inclined to go along with the recommendations of the Systems Planning Steering Board, which has suggested private management of the states data processing operation. Outgoing House Speaker Ronald questioned whether the Board of Examiners has the authority to bind the state for five years. Sen. Pugh noted that succeeding legislatures are bound in the ease of bonding programs. The Management Committee, during what was probably its last meeting before being reconstituted, also: Voted to continue challenging (he Board of Examiner: right to make decisions on legislative travel erpenses. Sen. President Ernest H. Dean, Foi kn suggested that a new test bo made if the Utah Supreme Court refuses to reconsider its decision upholding the boards authority over Legislative travel pay. This could be done, he said, by presenting a cli claim to the examiners. If they refuse it, the claim would hen be presented to the Legislature as a claim against the state. Approved a motion for introduction early in the next session of a bill authorizing the Legislature to take over all or part of the fourth floor of the Capitol for committee hearing space. Reason for the early introduction, it was explained, is to allow the Legislature to attempt to override a veto if the measure is vetoed bj Gov.-EleScott Matheson as it was by Gov. Calvin L. Rampton at the last session Highway officials in Utah and Idaho have jointly between Plymouth, Box opened a new section of Elder County, and Malad, Idaho. In Utah, the new $6.5 million four-lan- e divided section begins about two miles north of Plymouth and runs 6.5 miles to the Idaho border. Grading operations and construction of the Portage Interclmnge began 17 months ago, and construction on interchange bridges for frontage roads at Washakie Lane, five miles north of Pl mouth, and a county road three miles north of Pl mouth began early last spring. Paving was started last March.

The commission also approved a map designating hillside protection zones in foothills east of the valley and approved a text change prohibiting development on slopes averaging more than 15 percent. The commission delayed for three weeks action on a proposed Utah Transit Authority bus barn in Granger, a proposal strongly opposed by residents in the area. The hotel application, fought by residents near 7350 Wasatch Blvd., drew the greatest number of participants at todays meeting. The decision to deny the application resulted in applause and cheers. Scott Savage, an attorney for the residents, argued that the hotel would not serve a community need and would instead detract from the neighborhood. A hotel would not live up to the intent of the areas zoning, he added. Ralph Marsh, attorney for Canyon Development Corp., said the Canyon Racquet Club is not financially successful and needs the hotel. The planning staff recommended that the application be denied because the proposed hotel development would be incompatible with the residential area.
