1 4 I The Salt Lake Tribune, Tuesday, March 9, 1971 Deuni the Menace By Hank Ketcham For Elected Uiall Officials Senate Advances Salary Bill Senate to Give Final Consideration To $179 Million School Funding ADM would result in some 13 districts, especially the larger. Wasatch Front districts, gaming DUs while 27 districts would lose their respective positions.) The bill does provide for increasing the basic value of the DU from $8 to $9,130. It also increases the amount of state support per DU for each mill of local school board imposed leeway levies from $192 to $24. Under leeway levies, local boards mav impose tax levies un to 12 mills. It makes no change in the amount of state support provided fer voted leeway levies in wh'di voters of local districts have aporoved additional school taxes.

Srate suDport for thee levies will remain at $110 tier Dl though Gov. Hampton had recommended the amount be Increased. Duplicate Action In a move virtually duplicating action taken during the early morning subcommittee meeting, Sen. Wilmer L. Ear-nett.

R-Salt Lake, the bills chief sponsor, failed to carry a motion that would allow the Put tome ZIP into makin me it, Dad youre sleepy! instead of having salaries set statutorily. Another estimated $120,000 additionally would be needed for the pay raises to justices of the Supreme Court, district and juvenile jjdges and district attorneys, the latter for only one year due to elimination of tlrt office in 1973 from a single prosecutor bill passed earlier. The bill, proposes the following salaries, with present salaries indicated in parentheses for these elected officials; llcre're Proposals Supreme Court justices. $23,000 attorney general, $22,000 secretary of state, 19,500 state auditor and treasurer, $17,000 district arid juvenile judges, $21,000 Repeal of the Gunnell amendment, named after former Rep. Franklin W.

Gunnell, would eliminate the restriction that state emoloves can earn no more than denart-ment heads. The compensation commission said this restriction prevents the state from hiring certain tochinical or professional perans. San. Moroni L. Jensen, D-Salt Lake City, was defeated in an attempt to raise the secretary of state's salary comparable to the attorney generals.

Sen. V. Hughes Brockbank, R-Salt Lake City, the bills chief sponsor, argued that the salary scale is based on job responsibility and duties, which don't warrant such an increase. 1 Gcal Opponent Sen. Ralph A.

Preece, R-Vemal, the principal vocal opponent to the bill, said the raise arent warranted in Bv Douglas Parker Tribune Political Editor Proposed salary increases for elected arete officials, the judiciary and district attorneys were cleared the Utah Senate Monday on a 16 to 10 vote. The measure, which also repeals the so-called Gunnell amendment, now goes the House of Representatives for consideration. The salary hikes would become effective Jan. 1, 1972. Except for the increase allotted for the governor.

he proposals generally follow amounts recommended bv the State Executive Compensation Commission. Asks $8,000 Boost The bill provides for a $30,000 annual salary for the governor, up from the present $22,000. The commission recommended a $37,000 salary fear the governor. Gov. Calvin L.

Rampton, while urging the salary hikes for other officials and providing money for the raises in his proposed budget, had asked that the governors salary to avoid any implication of self-servine be made effective in 1973 after the next election. The 1972 effective date adopted will provde that half the money needed for the rasies will come out of next fiscal year's buucet. and the other half in the following fiscal year. The legislative analyst estimated the total cost at close to $200 000. Merit Schedule This includes an estimated $53,000 total increase to place nearly 50 state agency directors and commissioners on a merit classification schedule light of the private sector's economic condition.

He saic. the bill will create indignatioi with the taxpayers. In light oi raises to other public emplov es and teachers. Sen. Preece said the real elite of the population are those in government jobs.

The Senate also passed bills that increase the benefits foi Workmens compensation and occupational diseases, raise limits on medical costs thai can be paid, and hike an in surance premium tax rate to buildup a second-in jun" re serve fund. The bills now gc to the House. Amends Version Sen. Omar Bunnell D-Pi ice, was successful amending the original versiot of the legislation to boost benefits by about 20 percent a-compared to the originals percent proposed hike. The Senate killed one measure, a newly introduced bill urged by Gcv.

Rampton, to place the dispensing of amphetamines solely with lhe State Division of Health. Sen. E. Lamer Buckner, R-Ogden, the minority leader, explained the fcll was designed to crub break-ins at pharmacies. However, opposition argued the measure would be too restrictive for those areas near the Division of Healin The bill was defeated on a 14 to 10 vote.

A smilar measure, that would have allowed dispensing onlv at hospitals, was also killed by the Senate r-lier in the session. Olher Action In other action, the Senate advanced to final reading bills increasing the annual driver's education tax from $1 to $1.25 and the annual vehicle safety inspection fee from $2.25 to $3.25. Solons Request $190,000 In College Aid Program By Jthn Cummins Tribune Education Writer The Utah Senate Tuesday will give final consideration to a measure that would allocate $179.1 million tor 1971 72 operations of the state's public school system. The bill, substitute 3, Senate 11 173. provides an increase of about $13.5 million over this year's appiopriations to the schools.

It was advanced to the final reading stage Monday by a 26 to one vote just six hours after it had been recommended by the Joint Public Education Appropriations Subcommittee. Providing successful passage of the measure Tuesday, it will then go to the House for final action. Senators advanced the bill with no change in the total dollar amount that had been recommended bv the Joint Appropriation" Steering Committee. That amount is alout nnl'ion more than had been recommended by Gov. L.

Ramnton. Undergoing a major change, however, was the method in which the bill simulates the money is to be allocated to the 40 school districts. Change Method As it came from the sub-cemmutee. the bll called for changing over a two-vear period the method of allocating financial support Dstribution Units (Dls) from a system based on the number of students in average daily attendance (ADA) to average daily membership (ADM), Under the present system, one DU is allocated for each 27 students in ADA. The proposal would allow one DU for each 28.5 students in ADM.

Such a change has long been sought by Utah Education Assn, and more recently bv officials of urban school districts on the basis that schools must pay daily operating costs all the students are in attendance or not. However, Sn. Dean C. Christensen, R-Provo, successfully mustered a bare majority of 15 votes to amend the subcommittee proposal out of the bill. Penalize Districts He was joined by Sen.

M. James Macfarlane, Midvale, who said going to ADM would penalize some 30 districts for their good attendance records. (State school officials calculated that the changeover to $1 million in tiie measure's teacher leadership progiam to go for distinguished quality teaching or teacher leadership. Sen. Moroni L.

Jensen, Salt Lake, argued ngainri the change, claiming that changing from and to or would make the progiam a merit pay system. As he had in the subr-oriif-tee session, 'sen. Barnett argued for a need to reward qahty teaching. He said the schoo's have many distinguished teachers who should be rewarded by the program, but they do not receive additional compensation because they do not want to fill out applications for extra-duty projects under the leadership progiam. Testing Svstem Sen.

Barnett alo failed in another amendment attempt which would require the State Board of Education to administer a statewide testing and evaluation system. Opponents argued that the program would be costly and noted that many districts already have testing systems. A provision calling for the statewide evaluation program had been written irt; the bill over the weekend, but it was voted out in the subcommittee session. Sen. Barnett was successful, however, in including an amendment which directs that any funds coming to the state school system under a federal nue-sharing program must be held for allocation by the 1972 legislature.

Provides $300,900 Otherwise, the bill provides $500,000 for libraries and media centers, the same amount as 1970-71 appropriations; $600,000 for extended day and summer programs, the same as this year; $300 000 for community school programs, up $100,000 from this year; $100,000 for educational television, up $31,000 from this year; $160 000 for regional service units, up $4 O'V) from this year; $225 000 for career development (drop-out prevention) programs, the same as this year: and $55,000 for experimental programs, the same as this vear. It al-o provides $1,440,000 for research and development programs. up slightly from the $1,416,000 appropriated this year. i I remainder to come out wherever the school can find it in other budgets.

The Steering Committee, in doing so, thus apparently ended debate on what became one of the most emotional money issues tackled during recent weeks though not one of the largest. The budget group previously had approved a $465,900 allocation to the program for all nine state schools but had in p'fnr told ihe schools to squeeze it out of regular budgets that had bea approved. U. of V. Share The State Board of Higher Education had asked a direct, extra appropriation fo $390,000 for the purpose.

Monday's recommendation means the schools will have a partial direct appropraition the $190,000 and will have to senae7 out the rest. For instance, the University of Utah (which got the only such appropriation lari year; amounting to $100 000) is to be allowed a $170,000 program this coming year, of which the committee has approved $95,000 in direct aid with the individuals their own license.
