Bountiful Needs the Money Controversial Tax Retained :i By RON KNOWLTON : Review Staff I X -- BOUNTIFUL The Bounti- ful City Council will continue a 'controversial franchise tax on futilities in the city for another ftfear. X During a budget hearing on ; ."the citys million budget 18.7 May 25, former Bountiful May-- ; or Elmer Barlow challenged the council's decision to continue the tax. Is Barlow said his taxes have; 'nearly doubled since the franch;ise tax went into effect. He said pays about as much in franchise taxes as he does in property taxes. X Councilman Bob Linnell, ; though, noted that Barlow was 'on the council at the time the franchise tax went into effect. ; ; Linnell said Barlow seemed to consent to the tax. He said the council at that time was left ' with the option of whether to impose the tax or to increase property taxes. Barlow was op- posed to any increase in property taxes, Linnell added. In the past the franchise tax has also come under fire by other groups. Last year the Bountiful Area Chamber of Commerce drafted a letter opposing continuation of the tax during the 1982-8- 3 fiscal year. ; ; ; ' Barlow said the council should have told residents we were going to double your taxes through the franchise tax. He suggested the council find a way to reduce the tax. Barlow said that as mayor he told the utility companies in the city that the council would not place a franchise tax on utilities, but he consented to the tax when he saw that there was no way around it. The Bountiful mayor does not have a vote on the city council, other than to break a tie vote. Mayor Dean Stahle said he would like to soon see a review done of the citys tax structure .and see what direction we should go. He said he would personally like to cut taxes and that that is a popular thing to do. But the city has a tight budget and is trying to play catch up. Theres no political value in letting the streets or other departments run down. We feel the people like to see a good level of services continue. Stahle said that most taxes are temporary at the inception and they tend to become permanent. I suppose the franchise tax will continue as long as its needed, Stahle said. He noted that one city nearby had reduced taxes, but has had a budget deficit for the last cou- pie of years. said Bountiful has received less federal money each year. Also the citys bid to build hydroelectric power projects is becoming a dream come He and will need funds. He said the city also needs to money for new computers help reduce the large amount of true, paperwork city departments have to fill out. The city also needs to continually replace or repair old equipment. Stahle said the city is trying to keep expenses as low as possible, while attempting to keep the level of service up. Councilman Dean Hill said Bountiful has remained for jthe most part and has attempted to solve its problems with a minimum of outside help. He noted that many cities are asking for tremendous federal subsidies. At the same time they point with pride that they kept taxes down, but they want everyone else to help them pay for it and I object to that. self-sufficie- nt ; He said that many cities have not kept up with the replacement of equipment and repairs are asking the federal government to step in and take care of it. He said he has concluded Bountiful is in good shape in comparison to many other cities. &ounfi?ul Fees Increased will increase their rates to the By RON KNOWLTON Review Staff BOUNTIFUL The Bountiful City Council has formally approved a series of utility, cemetery and recreation rate increases. X As of June electric power fates will rise by 18 percent. X Garbage collection fees will rise by 25 cents per month and I sewer rates will increase by 25 cents per month. X The cost of an adult burial ;plot at the citys cemetery will increase by $30 for a city and by $15 for a child. Most Mother cemetery fees will also increase by $20, City Attorney Layne Forbes said. 1 -- resi--de- Golf course X crease. fees will also nt in- lX City Manager Tom Hardy -- said the power increase will come because of increased pow-;e- r rates being charged to the City by power sources. Colorado River Storage Project power, a supplier of 97.5 percent of the Citys power needs last year, ! percent, Hardy said. Hardy said the citys price to power users will still be 40 percent less than what Utah Power and Light Co. charges to its city by 30 customers. The increase in sewer rates will come to help the city to purchase a TV camera and a truck. The camera can be inserted in sewer lines to help detect blockages and illegal taps to the system, Hardy said. The camera can also help locate breakage in the lines and where infiltration of water into the system is coming from. The money will also help to build a reserve fund, he said. Hardy said golf course fees will increase because of increased play at the course. He NORTH SALT LAKE North Salt Lakes proposed general budget is still up in the air. Only the water, utility, capital improvement and bond redemption funds are gaining a tenta-- . tive approval by the city council. The proposed total budget calls for $813,800 in spending. A four percent cost of living increase was originally pro the citys budget for the coming fiscal year. Hardy noted that an Air Products plant is also coming on line likely in the fall. The plant, which uses a tremendous amount of power, will be furnished with the citys most expensive source of power, which means residents will continue to benefit by paying for the cheapest power in the citys power system, Hardy said. Former Mayor Elmer Barlow suggested that the city set aside funds for new garbage trucks. Hardy noted that one of the problems city refuse employees have experienced is fatigue. He said that problem could be solved with an automated system. The automated system would allow refuse employees to get to 30 or 40 additional homes, he added. e posed for the citys 17 council agthe but employees, reed on ii lower increase of two percent.

The Bardwell Summer School would begin at 8 a.m. and end at 2 p.m. Included in this period were normal family routines such as breakfast, room cleaning and lunch. New additions were activities such as arts and crafts, cooking classes, field trips and instructional units on subjects like animal care. The time from 1 to 2 p.m. was for individual quiet time. After 2 p.m., the children could play outside.

Ms. Bardwell said it is important to be flexible when having summer school. We didnt have school every single day. Sometimes a child was sick, I had an appointment or we went on a family trip. Some people asked how I could afford to spend so much time working with my children, said Ms. Bardwell. My answer is that for nine months of the year, I have time for myself. Its a small investment considering their total life span and the number of years we have together. Handicapped Parking Needed Long Distance Calls Woods Cross Adds New Lights . Ms. Bardwell decided to find a way she and her four children could enjoy each other during the sometimes endless summer months. I read a magazine article about teaching your children at home. It inspired me to try out the idea, said Ms. Bardwell. My husband thought it was a worthwhile plan so we sat down and established some goals. One of the primary goals was to actively teach their personal value system. For nine months of the year, our kids are taught by teachers and other children. This was an opportunity to emphasize what we believe is important, said Ms. Bardwell.
