Frazier said, "and Volkswagens, theyre buying Cadillacs, then the Cadillac buyers will be the people who pay more sales tax. The county-wid- e sales tax legislation. as proposed by Utah State Representative Tom Hatch, will be introduced to the state legislature during its next session, which begins there, it will be argued by both the house and state senate, and will then require a majority vote to pass it into law If the legislation is enacted at the state level, it will be up to the individual counties to pass ordinances that allow for the sales tax increase to take affect in each area I would anticipate a May 1 or June 1 effective date," Frazier said, adding that, if it is put into effect by June 1. it could affect, somewhat, our property taxes for this year More construction ahead He helped us through the fall period, said Ivie, who tabbed fall and spring as the busiest times for his department The building chief currently has a request in for anothe er inspector That is partly due to the recent trend in building for developers to begin work m winter, which used to be a period for permit issuance. Ivie said In the olden days, W'e never used to get a lot of winter activity Now, however, developers are eager to begin the groundwork for their projects as soon as possible even given winters increased construction costs Ivie said he would try to hire another temporary inspector in the spring if his request for more help wasnt granted It's been a real tough year. What people don't realize Ivie said, is we've got all this stuff thats in progress. looking to more busy times ahead for his department. These other projects wont be out for a while, but this has just been building and building. . A-- 1 pipeline already that's still to come the previous years application activity" In other words, the construction market in Park City was as vibrant and lucrative as ever in despite fewer permits And with so much anticipated rtew development on the horizon, dump trucks and cement mixers should continue to be as common on Park City roads as crickets and potguts were 15 years ago Ivie said last year's permit activity was marked by projects such as the Marriott Summit Watch and Caledonia on lower Main Street, and "a number of fairly major Deer Valley projects." including condominium complexes and luxury homes. "We've also had a lot of inspections and a lot of complicated buildings." Ivie added To help ease some of the workload on the regular building department staff.

Kelly explained Most city programs, like the Racquet Club and golf course, turn a tidy profit Youth sports, however, have always been a drain on city funds, said Kelly, but the city has been loathe to bump up the fees Johnston said the youth soccer fees, for example, would have to be hiked drastically in order to completely recoup costs of the program, and many kids would be unable to afford to play Instead of hiking fees. Park City has subsidized the recreation department for several years, including a subsidy of about $300,000 last year City officials went to the county eight years ago. and the commissioners agreed to help with the subsidies in proportion to the county residents that used the services.
