Buses will begin running minutes at Roy stops July 12, reports Mayor Joseph Dawson. Previously buses stopped at Roy areas every hour and a half. Uah Transit Authority officials vc port that if Roy patronage of the intreases or stays the same, when new equipment is secured, time between bus stops will be even further reduced. Present surveys show that 300 Roy residents are using the UTA bus system each day. Councilman Earl Morris said he feels really good about this, especially in view of UTAs original plans to bypass Roy areas. He said that due to Mayor Dawsons efforts the bus service is being improved in the city. 45 -- Following the the hearing proposed $1,463,106 general fund budget was approved with the proposed three mill levy increase, making Roys mill levy 12. Council also approved a $616,500 water department budget, giving the city a $2,079,606 yearly operating budget. The budget eliminates an $80,300 deficit left over from last year and gives city employes an 8.3 cost of living increase. Total budget is down 6 per cent over last years total. Resident Mrs. Emma Russell commended city council for this years budget, particularly eliminating the city deficit. I would rather raise taxes three mills now than six mills next year. We need to get out of debt so we can expand services. I think three mills is very judicious. Fred Anderson ex- pressed concern over employes wages. He said the working man is not getting much of a raise. said they are aware of their employes wages, and showed figures, saying the employes wages had raised between 30 and 50 per cent over the past five years. Allan Barrett said he hopes council is considering inflation when it puts off capital improvements for another year. He expressed concern that equipment needed now will be even more expensive to budget in the next fiscal year. Mrs. Rick Kirkwood asked council to levy an extra mill now to put a little money away for capital improvements, a suggestion which received the support of Emma Russell. Councilman Earl Morris said city Coun-cilme- n council did not want to have to raise taxes any more than necessary. He pointed out that the budget is not totally inflexible and at this time the three mill increase is all city council wanted to raise taxes. All of us hate in the worst way to see taxes increased, said Mayor Joseph Dawson. He said council has spent more time on this budget than on any other he has worked with. Were trying to come up with a realistic budget, he continued. He pointed out there is no money put aside for a park in the southwest portion of Roy nor any money to supplement state road funds for street improvements. Council also did not budget income from revenue sharing for the last six months of the fiscal year, as it is still uncertain whether the U.S. Congress will continue with the revenue sharing program. The revenue sharing funds which are already approved for Roy for the first six months of this fiscal year are going to eliminate the fiscal deficit left over from last year. Councilman Larkin Patterson pointed out that needed capital improvements are being held off this year. He specifically cited upgrading of office equipment, including instillation of a computer, purchasing a new mower for parks and a new police vehicle as expenditures which were cut from the budget. Council is also looking at possible other sources of income such as charging groups to use parks, -- commented Councilman Marvin Zaugg. He said he would like to see some areas such as these become more drawing less from the budget revenues.
