The increase in water bills reflect a four percent increase from the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, the citys water supplier, according to City Manager Wally Baird. The city does not have the revenue potential to soften that blow to residents, so we must pass through the full amount, he said. The $4,784,000 budget is an approximate 17 percent increase over last years budget, said Baird. He said the main reason for the increase is the inclusion of the $165,065 community development block grant the state and other local funds the city anticipated for proposed capital proj; ects. ' Layton Park Subdivision, phase two, will be utilizing the block grant for public facilities, plus $100,000 from other funds. Intersections at 300 North 1000 West and 800 North and 1000 West and a bridge at 500 East 50 North will also use the monies for improvements, said Baird. All city employees will receive a 4 percent cost of living raise.
