It also means Roy will have three new policemen and a new ambulance. The actions stem from a June decision to freeze $163,000 in budget requests until a December review of revenues and expenditures. The council was concerned about possible cost overruns related to completion of Roys new $1.8 million city building and fire station. Although Roy City Manager Richard Kirkwood could not give an exact figure on remaining expenses for the new building, he said he is confident there is sufficient revenue to cover them. ?We have $78,000 from unexpended revenue for this fiscaPyear and $200,000 remaining from last years fund balance. ' Kirkwood also said revenues for fiscal year 198384 exceed predictions by about $10,000. The $78,000 in unexpended revenue resulted from elimination of some frozen requests by department heads.

He asked that the monies raised from the current library mill levy stay in Layton in a special library account, drawing interest. He also suggested that the city enter into an agreement with the county that if they are willing and able to construct a library in the Layton City limits within three years that all of the money now held by Layton would go towards the construction of the library. If after three years the county unwilling or unable to construct a library, Wood suggested that the city then proceed to build a city library. When those three years have passed, Layton will have accumulated an estimated $1,333,000 including the interest and allowing for a 9 percent growth rate in Layton.

We believe our plan Jeaves enough property for a development like Kiers. Unless a definite date for construction of a library is set and some control of library funds for that construction is guaranteed, it is unlikely that Layton will rejoin the system in 1984, the council agreed.

Economics of the residents paying for cards in the county i system was one of the concerns of Councilman Bob Stevenson. He said that currently Layton families must pay $10 at the time of purchase to buy a library card from the county. Upon presenting their receipt from the library to the city the $10 is refunded by Layton, but it sometimes takes up to four weeks for the money to get back to the families.

The addition of three policeman is partially possible because of a $42,000 state grant for increased liquor law enforcement. The city expects to receive the grant in January, but has included it in the current budget. " By adding three officers, Roy goes from 0.81 police per 1000 resident to 0.95.
