Federal boating fee does not apply to Utah boaters Many boaters have been concerned they need to pay a new federal recreational vessel fee to boat in Utah, but theres no need to worry. The law does not apply to any of the waters within the state. While we have the Coast Guard Auxiliary in Utah we dont have whats termed a regular Coast Guard presence on the waters, and, therefore, the law doesnt apply here," said Ted Woolley, boating coordinator with the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation. There is also good news for those who like to boat on Bear Lake, Flaming Gorge, and Lake Powell, the three waters Utah shares with adjoining states. The first draft of the federal fee required boaters using these three areas to pay the fee, but this requirement was subsequently eliminated. Also, boaters will not be in violation of the law if they cross into adjoining states while on these lakes, Woolley said. The Utah Division of Parks and Recreation expressed its concern that the law might be made applicable to Utah, in a letter to the Coast Guard. We were very pleased the Coast Guard accepted our recommendations and did not make the law applicable in Utah," Woolley said. The federal recreational vessel fee was passed to raise money to reduce the federal deficit, Woolley said. A small percentage of the money will be given to the United States Coast Guard to help cover their administrative cost. There is currently opposition in Congress to the tax. On July 18, 1991, the House of Representatives voted 412-- to repeal the law. A similar vote by the senate and action by the president would lead to a repeal of the law. For more information about the federal recreational vessel fee, including a further explanation of the waters on which it is required, call the U.S. Coast Guard at 6 Roundtable scheduled Sanpete District Cub Scouts will be holding Roundtable on Thursday, August 8th, at 7 p.m. in the Ephraim Family Park, 200 E 300 N in Ephraim.

County expenditures from $92,000 from other revenues. general operating funds will total an estimated $355 million in 1991, according to an analysis of county budgets prepared by for county purposes in Sanpete County was 0.417. Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization. The 1991 county budget total represents an increase of $32.6 10, from the amount budgeted during the preceding (1990) calendar year. The study observes that the average increase in county budgets this year is about twice that of the current inflation rate. Between May, 1990 and May, 1991, the Consumer Price Index rose by 5.0 Property taxes continue as the major revenue, source for county governments in Utah according to the report This year, property taxes imposed for general county purposes are expected to total $151 million, million, or expenditures in Utah range from a high of $1,257 in Daggett County to a low of $70 in Utah County, with an average of $206 per person throughout the state. The wide range in per capita costs is accounted for by the fact that certain basic service must be provided for by all of the counties, and per capita spending for such services tend to be high in those counties with very small populations. Another significant variable is the level of municipal-typ-e services provided by some of the counties. Last year, the property tax rate The Foundation analysis of 1991 county budgets reveals that the largest expenditure for county categories Utah are (1) in governments general government, (2) streets and public improvements, (3) law enforcement, and (4) public health and welfare. These four spending categories account for of all almost two-thirexpenditures budgeted by the 29 counties in Utah. ds Per capita Budgeted expenditures in Sanpete County for 1991 will total $3,363,950. This includes county $1,089,992 for general government, $567,484 for law enforcement, $35,200 for fire protection, $203,616 for corrections, $15,379 for protective inspections and services, $148,000 for public health and welfare, $911,775 for streets and public improvements, $31,000 for parks, recreation and public property $122,004 for conservation and economic development $0 for intergovernmental expenditures and debt services, and $239,500 for all other county expenditures. Operating expenditures in Sanpete County are equal to $207 per capita. or about 42 of all county general operating revenues. Property tax rates imposed by counties last ranged from a high of 0.459 in Salt Lake County to a low of 0.1846 in Box Elder County with an average of 0.3712 for the state as a whole. Foundation analysts point out that county governments have a more limited revenue base than do municipalities in the state. Utah law allows cities and towns to impose a utility franchise tax, but counties do not have this taxing authority. Although counties impose a local sales tax, the tax does not apply in those areas of the county that already are being taxed by a municipality. Last year, a total of $101 million in local sales tax was allocated to cities and towns but only $21 million to counties in Utah.

The budget for Sanpete County indicates that revenue will total $3,363,950 in 1991. This includes $1,437,958 from the property tax, $85,000 from the sales $45,500 from other taxes, $31,500 from licenses and permits, $390,000 from federal aid, $480,260 from state aid, $112,629 from local funds, $552,380 from service charges, $100,000 from fines and forfeitures, $36,723 from contributions and transfers and The South Sanpete School District has proposed to increase its property tax revenue by and to increase its total budget by 1, 8.All concerned citizens are Jr. Football League starts invited to attend a public hearing on the tax increase to be held on August 14, 1991, at 7:30 p.m. in the School District Office located at 39 S.
