Public Comments:
Steve Van Maren asked why the various Departments' had not made their budget
presentations. He appreciated Brooke Christensen's proposal. He was hopeful the City
would fund the Central Wasatch Commission. He felt it was a worthy cause.
Sandra Haak, Dimple Dell Preservation Community, thought what Brooke Christensen
presented was very well thought out. She spoke on behalf of the Dimple Dell Preservation
Community speaking firmly in support of the proposed funding for two police officers to
help protect and patrol Dimple Dell Park.
Steve Smith was an advocate of a property tax increase when he was on the City Council
but could not get the votes. He gave his tentative endorsement on the property tax
increase. He did not believe that a case had been made and enough information
gathered to prove that a property tax is necessary. He felt that Departments should be
required by resolution to present a gap analysis to determine percentages of
infrastructure and conditions, and a gap analysis to estimate if a tax increase is
necessary in order for the Council to make a decision that does not place them in this
position in another two to five years.
Comments closed.
