He eventually bought into the business and continued to oversee its operations until it was sold to Dairy in 1960. He and was assigned to joined d their plant in Murray. His father tried to dissuade his son from running for public office, because he'd make "too many enemies," but Mr. McMillan couldn't see four more years of the current administration. which wasn't listening to the citizens." Mayor McMillan is planning on implementing his plans and ideas during the next four years. He feels city government is not unlike business. "We will work to restructure some of the city's departments and increase the efficiency of the departments and accomplish the goals we have set for ourselves." Faced with the possibility of losing several hundred thousands of dollars in in federal revenue grants, the mayor is urging some department heads to look at a 10 percent decrease in their budgets while still maintaining the quality of services. To help that along. Mayor McMillan has coined a slogan "Broaden Your Vision It Can Be Done." and akked city employees to have faith in the system. He has asked the department heads to put a hold on any firings and hirings while he reviews the citys operations for the first 90 days of his administration. Admitting not everyone is as optimistic as he, the mayor said "Those that don't want to cooperate, we will have to take a look at." He said he is "really going to try not to increase the property tax," and would like to decrease it by the one mill it was increased last year. One difference, he pledged, is we'll have a lot more citizen involvement than the past administration." The main issue during last fall's election was the city's building policy. Voters ousted the mayor and one couneilwoman who had been in office He encourages citizen involvement with the citys projects and hopes for better economic, social and cultural growth. while several controversial building projects were approved. He said he is not as worried about the city's future residents as the past administration. "We need to look at what do the people want, and care for those who are already here." He has already taken steps to drop the city's appeal of a successful court high-den-si- suit challenging its controversial master plan, filed by a citizen's group. "We need to get the master plan back and complete all the phases of the master plan," he said. During his inauguration, the new crowd it was mayor told a spill-ove- r their city and he wanted them to be- come involved in it. In support of that, he said the administration will organize community councils and "hopefully have better communication between citizens and city government. The mayor said he wants the city to continue to grow economically, spiritually, culturally and socially. He Abandoned Pets Are Serious Economic hardships, restrictive housing and overbreeding of pets during the Christmas season have all contributed to a serious pet abandonment problem in Salt Lake County. "At this time of year, people don't have much extra money and, unfortunately, the pet is usually the first thing to go," said Kathi Frevost, information coordinator of the Salt Luke County Animal Services. Because many people move, live where pets are not allowed or receive1 an unwanted pet for Christmas, there has been an increasing number of dogs and cats being dumped in areas. "People seem to think that they will find a home or fend for themselves," Ms. Frevost said. In reality, pets survive only for a short while by scavenging among garbage cans or attacking wildlife or livestock. All abandoned pets will die within one year from disease, injury, starvation, dehydration or cruelty, Ms. Fre- I 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. -- j.
