S to review the proposed Summit County budget for 1990. About 25 media, County employees, and concerned citizens were in mtfndiuyf. Blake Frazier, Summit County Auditor, went over the proposed which would cover one more person in that department. Some of the general fond expenditures actually stayed the same or dropped a little. Each department had a small increase to cover a $8,638,588 budget pointing out that if property values stay the same for 1990 as 1989, and die oil ' revenues do not change, there would be no need to raise taxes. The largest expenditure is the ance increase. , The County can expect to collect $3,882,991 in total taxes next year plus $4,755,597 from other government sources. The department heads feel the 1990 budget is very conservative road department with expenditure in the general funds of $1,016,200, which covers salaries and repairs on the road equipment and sheds with the one in Kamas needing improvements as well as Weber Canyon Road, Kilby Road, box culvert on Beaver Springs Road, over seals and chipping on Chalk .Creek Road, and other road repairs' and maintenance. The second largest budget was waste disposal dump, which is the landfill and would include the possibility of developing another cell site for Samak. Their proposed budget is $640,700. The third was $579,350 for the Sheriffs Department, which has made a request for one more deputy, which would bring the total to 12 Summit County Deputies. The assessors office budget is $250,120, which includes computer costs. The building inspector jumps from $85,547 in 1989 to $117,200, 12 percent employee salary increase and this year's health insur- and would certainly like more money for improvements but they understand times are lean for everyone and the Commissioners gave all they had available in the budget The Health Department is not included in the general revenues and expenditures. They receive revenues from many different sources such as property taxes of $348,493; WIC, prevention clinics, grants, state prevention, mental health, etc. They total revenue for 1990 is estimated at $824,476 compared to 1989 of $704,159. Their expenditures include public health nurses, maternal child health, immunizations, prevention center and treat- ment, mental health, sanitation, etc. Total expenditures for 1990 are budgeted at $824,476 compared to 1989 with $707,051. Payment on the new courthouse addition of $84,498 will run until 1993 when that bend will be paid. The 1990 budget was approved nnj-in- by the Commissioners on Dec. 6. According to Blake Frazier, the County, in 1989, has taken some positive steps toward economic development, and towards expanding services. The infrastructure for the Silver Creek Industrial Center is complete and Lucas Western has opened their manufacturing plant. The County Services Building in Kamas has been completed and houses the Health Department, So- cial Services, justice Court, Sher- iffs Office, library and ambulances. 1990 should prove to be a year of continued growth, thereby making it necessary to continue to expand services. The possibility of the Olympics craning to Utah, with some of the events being held in Summit County, will alone, create growth and the necessity to increase services And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the City of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the City of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David). To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear Hot, for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke Summit County is looking-aheato the future and gearing up to meet their future needs. The Assessor's Office has opened an office in Park City two days a week and will be expanding that service to the Kamas area in the near future. The Planning Office is looking at e Assistant Planner hiring a to help with the expanded workload. The building inspector is also hoping to add another inspector to that department.
