It would not only be advantageous for us, but for the industries as well, Paris said, because the industrial tax revenue would create such a large tax base that the city could set the mill levy at a minimum, thereby resulting in lower cost of operation than in a larger city with more problems. We need 1,000 signatures of registered voters in the proposed incorporated area, because we want to lock in our boundaries and set the election far enough ahead to give us an opportunity to assess the situation intelligently. We want to have time to decide what is best for this area without being pressured to jump out of the frying pan into the fire, he added. Paris said that annexations come from cities acting like vultures, eating up all the areas that have a good tax base and leaving the bedroom communities to 20, 1982 Magna CofC Looks At Incorporation MAGNA. With the defeat of Lake Valley City, many areas within the unincorporated county are looking into the feasibility of incorporation to protect their tax base and retain Lake is expected to annex the corridor between its boundary and Murray, erasing connection between the east and west sides of the valley. So now it is time to take a look at what is best for Magna, Paris said, and we should be protecting our boundaries while we explore other alternatives. He noted that both Salt Lake and West Valley have indicated a desire to annex this area, but added that an area cannot be annexed without approval by more than 50 percent of the property owners. Those who sign up for annexation must represent at least of the property valuation, he said, but sometimes developers with big acreage who dont want to conform with the strict Salt Lake County building codes will petition for annexation to a neighboring ci their individual identities. The subject was explored by the Magna Chamber of Commerce last week during a meeting at the Copper Golf club. Charles (Chick) Paris was guest speaker. Paris, chairman of an incorporation committee set up by the Magna Community Council, outlined the proposal using a large county map to illustrate how the unincorporated area is shrinking. He pointed out that both and Kearns are talking incorporation, while a portion of the Millcreek area is looking favorably toward either annexing to Salt Lake or incorporating. Paris contested that South Salt Taylors-ville-Bennio- n one-thir- ty without such rigid requirements, and the rest of the area is forced to comply whether they want to be annexed or not. Paris went on to say that 60 days ago Kennecott put out the bait to the Magna Community Council that they might look favorably on incorporation. We drew up a petition and outlined our borders for the proposed Magna City, Paris said, then we took it into Kennecott who said that they didnt want to take a stand until after the Lake Valley City issue was resolved. The boundaries outlined in the petition for the proposed Magna City incorporation extend north to the interstate highway, south to Butterfield Canyon in the Oquirrh Range, east to 7200 West and west to the Tooele County line. Paris pointed out that within the d tf VW.V-.'-- y. r?7TT , While shift for themselves.

In any event, Cannon said the current nature of the county is almost certain to vanish and that efforts should be directed toward hands. The county is now setting up a series of meetings to cover the incorporation laws and the functions of a boundary commission, Paris said. Allan Moll and Kent Lewis from the County attorneys office have indicated that they will visit area councils and chambers at their request to discuss the subject. making the change orderly. The disposition of most people in the county now is, Who cares if the county becomes cities? If thats what people want thats what people should have. As long as they go into it with their wall-to-wa- ll . . . eyes open. Theres no tremendous advantage in preserving the unincorporated county. The county has the same problems as Lake Valley t City - (irregular) borders, division, a wide service area, a declining tax base, he added. In the long run, it will cost taxpayers more than a consolidated government with its economies of scale, he said, adding that several elections have shown, however, that people dont want that form of government.
