Nearly every county division and office had its budget cut, with most held to 1983 levels. Employees will receive a 2.25 percent cost of living increase and can get a 1.5 merit raise. The general feeling of the commission is that the county must reevaluate all of its services and provide only those mandated by law. They will find out Friday evening if the public agrees.

Commissioners are also planning to seek $500,000 in sales tax generated by Salt Palace concessions that currently goes into Salt Lake City coffers. Hogle Zoo was funded for half a year only and Commissioners M. Tom Shimizu and Bart Barker said they are willing to see the zoo closed or returned to Salt Lake City ownership if the state does not take it over in July, as was promised by last years State Legislature. Alcohol and drug counseling programs were eliminated, said to be a state responsibility, and $300,000 was slashed from the county highway fund. The department sustaining the most drastic cuts was recreation, d which lost about of the monies it had to operate on during the current budget year, in addition to $100,000 cut out of its proposed 1984 budget. The Recreation Board' learned Tuesday just what that is expected to mean and members didnt like what they heard. To reach the $500,000 reduction, there will be a cut of 12 fulltime staff members and 131 The equestrian park will be discontinued, the county subsidy to Pioneer Craft House, the Gypsy staff, operation of three Salt Lake City swimming pools, county tennis programs, the automotive baseball program, workers at Wheeler Farm, scorekeepers for youth basketball programs - meaning school districts will likely withdraw their support of those programs - and personnel and other services. The new Magna youth center cannot be opened because of the staff cuts and programs and staff at all other centers will be drastically reduced. About 44,000 people will be affected by the Craft House situation, the Gypsy staff performed for 46,000 people last year and operated programs, such as Huck Finn Day. There were 200 boys involved in Automotive League baseball. Recreation superintendent Gary Swensen said the commission mandated that the cuts come in programs. All that is left, he said, are adult recreation programs, one swimming pool and three recreation centers where programs have been limited. Board chairman Wayne Evans was especially harsh in his assessment. Were cutting programs for kids who cant speak for themselves, yet we go on subsidizing the Salt Palace and arts centers for an elite few. Thats false economy. You can plan to put more money in juvenile court programs down the road if you force us to do this, he told Commissioner Shimizu in the Tuesday meeting. Equally as critical were Miriam Farnsworth and George Brown who represent Granite and Murray school districts, respectively, on the board. Evans said the county should place its budget at the 16 mills so that the Legislature will take a look at extending that 1978 ceiling. The message we get, Mrs. Farnsworth said, is that recreation programs are not a high priority with this commission, yet this department is one that was created by the demands of the people, while some of the others were created when the feds dangled some money. Now the money is gone, but the programs feed off the general fund. Brown added, To withdraw programs from the kids is a serious mistake. Evans plans $S9!

There always seems to be good logic in that route, or at least giving it strong consideration. In the case of next week's bond election, there seems to be a pressing need that would call for making an exception to the conser- vative approach. Paying off the bonds over a period of several years might be welcomed by many during a time when economic and employment conditions have already caused a strain. Although the bonding proposal seems worthy of support, those disseminating facts and figures and promoting its passage with other propaganda should not get away with telling citizens of the county that the bonding will not increase their taxes. When a debt is owed and another debt incurred on top of it, the overall debt is increased, even if the new, lengthier instalment plan leaves individual payments the same.

From the picture being painted by county officials, voting in favor of a bond election XX which would yield $33.5 million for flood control seems the proper way to go. Among the stronger reasons for supporting the bonding approach is that there would not be a lump sum to come out of the pocket of each property taxpayer next year. In addition, bonding would allow the work scheduled to be stepped up.
