A standing request from Police Chief David Campbell for more officers is expected to be considered tonight (Thursday) by the City Council. The council is to discuss request to scheduled Campbells return $84,000 to the Police Department budget to permit the hiring of two more officers and the transfer other officers to different assignments. The funding had been taken out of the departments budget last December in a five percent across-th- t of two -- board spending cutback approved by the City Commission. In connection with that refunding Several weeks ago, longed to police deemployes, Sanderson said. Campbell agreed, noting that as many as eight of his officers or staffers have not taken a day of vacation since the city incorporated on July 1, 1980. But, he added, requiring each of his officers to take, on the average, six to seven days off in the next Campbell told the partment council that a shortage of officers in his department And, because of limited manpower, many were losing compensatory hours as well, he added.

Enrollment Climbing At Utech TAYLORSVILLE. Enrollment at Utah Technical College for winter quarter has reached 6,310, representing 522 more students than for the corresponding period last year. The soaring enrollment shows the number of equivalent students (the full-tim- e standard formula measurement used by all colleges in the state system of higher edu-catio- at 4,330 compared to 3,958 last winter and 4,160 when the academic year began last fall, according to Dr. Orville D. Carnahan, president of the college. The men-wome- n ratio is two to one. The most popular program of instruction at the college is data processing for both men and women, although men are nearly as interested in electroncourics. Of the ses at Utah Tech, all but recreational vehicle mechanics have female students enrolled. Students at the college come from every county in Utah but Daggett, Juab and Ricy. Thirteen other states are represented and 37 foreign students from 10 countries are attending classes at the school. 30-pl- can and have been heard in regard to the action i taken during the session. Myself, as one of the legislators, even have espoused my share of criticism of some find among thefr constituents. There is never a legislative session, a city council meeting, nor a school board meeting taking place that there is no controversy over the decisions made. That is precisely the root of our political process in America. While sharing a few reservations about our legislative action, I truly feel the general outcome coincided with the general needs and desires of the taxpayers of the state of Utah. The appropriation process brought about a balanced budget which did not necessitate a property tax increase, but still addressed the needs of the state and satisfied the governor. Vehicle operating increases, aimed at keeping up our road and highway investment, were adopted. Crime, drugs and dressed in drunk driving were ad- several bills. Some of our tax laws were updated to help bring about more equity. Several judicial issues and problems were addressed. The growth in our public school population and an increase in salaries for our education employees were adopted. State employees were given a healthy salary increase. Changes in our sales tax methods were debated vigorously with no resulting changes adopted and increased severance tax was worked over completely with no action taken. Conservatives claim we were not conservative enough, while liberals say we were too conservative. Each legislator had a number of bills, which he or she deemed extrem-limportant, but they didnt even get out of y com'mittee. There were issues that needed to be addressed, but didnt, as is always the case, whether it be a y sesor a sion, but in general, most of the pressing needs of the state were addressed. 20-da- within the limit. 13-d- But, as City of the out- comes, and I am sure each of the other members of the Legislature have their own comments of criticism. Of course, you would find wide variation among those individuals as to the subject of critical review, as you undoubtedly will days to vacation - Recorder Kathy Grantham pointed out, she could be gone for six weeks if she compiled all the vacation time, sick leave and compensatory time she had coming. That could utterly destroy a company. Its the same thing with a city, said councilman Brent Anderson. It would cripple the council if Kathy . took six weeks off. Sanderson told the council that if it complies with the police chiefs request for the additional $84,000 to hire the officers, action also must be taken to eliminate the vacation time or the problem would be compounded. He estimated the accrued vacation time in the Police Department alone would amount to $36,000. Combined, the $120,000 liability would remove any budget surplus the city hoped to have at the end of the fiscal year, he said. Campbell appeared reluctant to confirm whether his departments vacation time could be reduced to within the limit, saying, All I can say is that we can try. Weve attacked comp time with vigor. The council will consider the issue at its regular 6 p.m. meeting in the upstairs conference room in City Hall, 2470 So. Redwood Road. District Sets Report On Reservoir KEARNS.
