Review staff ROY - The Weber County Southwest Branch Library in Roy will receive what officials refer to as much needed addition. In a meeting held last Wednesday, the Weber County commission approved a tentative budget for fiscal year 1987 that, when adopted by Dec. 15, will give the county library system $75,000 above its recommended budget to finance the expansion project. Of that amount, $50,000 will be used for the first-yepayment on the library expansion, while $25,000 will go toward furnishings, said County Commissioner Bob Hunter, who serves as a ar Roy Mayor Wayne Kimber member on the Weber County Library board of directors. Hunter said, barring a county budget catastrophe, the county will have the necessary money to get the project under way. The total cost of the building addition is $337,326. But Roy City has volunteered to donate city land, labor and landscaping for the expansion project, bringing the total amount needed from the county to $181,000. The Roy do 5,500-square-fo- ot $56,000. In addition, $100,000 of the to- tal cost of the project will be funded by the Weber County brary Development Fund, with the remaining $106,000 to be paid back by the couty ov$r a period to a local bank. However, even with the library expansion being a county project, it was Roy City officials who expressed the greatest appreciation for the commissions decision. five-ye- ar Im elated! said Roy City Mayor Wayne Kimber. We (the city) have been working with the commission and members of the library commit tee for the past several months and they gave us a pretty positive feeling about the funding, Kimber said. To encourage the county commissioners with their decision, Kimber said Roy City committed land for the expansion, as well as city time and labor. The Roy City Council approved the donation of city property in October, hoping to receive in return from the county a parcel of land near the Denver and Rio Grande railroad tracks at approximately 2600 West.

Not private in a personal way, but handled by private businesses contracting with the city, Coburn said the citys contract with Roche & Sons Disposal would expire at the end of June of 1987 and new proposals are being considered. Coburn said one option the city could investigate is the use of an automated collection system for picking up the citys trash.

The commissioners adopted the operating budget Monday afternoon before a packed house in the commission chambers, announcing there would be no mill levy increase for the 1987 year. County Commissioner Glen Saunders said a modest adjustment of funds one way or the other allowed the county to escape a mill levy increase. Saunders said the newly adopt ed tentative budget would serve as the operating budget for the county until the final budget is approved this summer. He said if need be public hearings will be held throughout the year in order to allow county officials to modify the budget. And just how does this years county budget break down?
