Mayoral hopefuls questioned

Nappanee mayoral candidates were questioned by the Elkhart County Home Builders Association last week. The group invited mayoral candidates from Elkhart, Goshen and Nappanee to its meeting last Thursday to present a brief statement on the future of the housing industry in their respective communities. Republican candidate Bob Callander and Democrat incumbent John Mellinger were asked to give their opinions in reference to a master plan being implemented in Nappanee and on city participation in development of industrial and residential land. Callander quoted what he said will be one of the planks that he will have in his platform in the coming campaign. “We propose a long-range Comprehensive Development Plan for Nappanee,” he said. “This would include a study of existing land use, population and natural resources and the setting of community goals and objectives. “The plan Wuld include recommendations on traffic flow, annexation, zoning, parks and recreation facilities, and the improvement and extension of streets, sidewalks and sewers. 1 “We would hire a professional city planner to asist us in this," Callander continued. “I am told that financial help is available from the Federal government through the Comprehensive Planning Assistance program (701) which is two thirds federal and one third local money.” The COP candidate also emphasized the need for a master plan for Nap-

1980 school budget adopted

e The 1980 budget for the Wa-Nee Schools was adopted by the Board of School Trustees at its meeting last Thursday. The advertised school tax rate for 1980 is $3,771 compared with $5,245 last year, a decrease of $1.47. Superintendent William Dorsey explained that the 28 percent decrease in the advertised tax rate is a direct result of recent reassessment throughout Elkhart County and the state: Dorsey stated that the local school corporation’s net assessed valuation is estimated to increase over 40 percent when final certification has been completed for taxes payable in calendar year 1980. In reviewing the budget appropriations with the board, Dorsey noted that beginning with budget year 1980, a separate transportation fund has been established which will be financed through its own tax rate beginning in calendar year 1980. The 1980 general fund budget appropriations are $2,450,580 for instruction, $1,616,176 for support services, $2,550 for community services, and $109,130 for non-programmed charges for a sum total of $4,178,436. The superintendent said that the $281,970 increase in generrf fund appropriations above the 1979:budget was due to additional staffing, wage and salary increases of all school per-

Switchboard Concern seeks sensitive volunteer listeners

Siwtchboard Concern, Elkhart County’s telehone hotline service, is presently looking for volunteer operators. Operators are not ad-vice-givers ot moral authorities, but creative listeners who are trained to really hear what a person is saying and seek out possible solutions by drawing on the person’s strengths. Training for new volunteers is intensive, requiring two all-day training sessions held on Saturday, two evening sessions and a six-week on-the-job training period. The training sessions provide information about the various county service agencies to which Switchboard refers callers with specific problems. Role-playing possible situations is an important part of the training for the operators. During the six-week on-the-job

panee and stated that he would push for the preparation of one if elected. Democrat Mellinger expressed his feelings that a master plan looks good on paper but presents a problem in that having landowners know plans for the property in advance creates difficulties in acquiring the land in the future. He noted that Nappanee did have a master plan drawn up over 10 years ago. The city government at that time, Mellinger said, was reluctant to implement the plan because of such drastic changes as locating the business district at the present site of North Wood High School. “At present, our planning for industrial and residential development is controlled by the city plan commission and the Common Council,” Mellinger said. “I feel that there will be a need for a master plan in the future due to the rapid growth in the city of Nappanee.” In response to questions concerning city participation in development, Mellinger said that although the city had participated in development of the west industrial park through revenue from the sale of the utility plant, the present policy is to extend city water and sewer services to areas under development because the city does not have revenue to participate further. Mellinger explained that under the property tax freeze in 1973, the city is unable to raise additional tax revenue to provide all the services desired. He added that if the city annexes developed land, sewer and water services should be provided within three years.

sonnel, and significant inflationary operational costs. Dorsey commented that it is possible to increase general fund appropriations and still decrease the local tax rate due to increased state support and a significant increase in the assessed valuation of the local school community. Finances to be raised by the general fund tax levy amount to $1,701,639 requiring an advertised general fund tax rate of $2,383 based on projected assessed valuation figures. The $2,383 tax rate is a reduction of $1.34 compared to the advertised rate of 1979 as a result of the separate transportation fund, previously included in the general fund, as well as the 40 percent increase in the school corporation’s assessed valuation figures. The necessary finances to support the school corporation’s 1980 transportation fund amount to a levy of $181,605 and will require an advertised tax rate of 25.4 cents. The amount to be raised in the debt service fund to meet lease rental and bond obligations for 1980 amounts to $452,562 and will require an advertised tax rate of 63.4 cents. The previously approved cumulative building fund tax rate will remain at 50 cents as approved by the Board of State Tax Commissioners in 1972 for a period of 12 years.

period, the prospective volunteer work experience, the Director and the experienced operator evaluate the prospective volunteer’s performance. Only then are volunteers asked to become Switchboard operators. Persons needing information or experiencing problems in the areas of family relationships, drugs, problem pregnancies, legal questions, or child abuse can call Switchboard anytime during the day or night. Callers can be assured of confidentiality and a genuinely concerned listener who can help the caller explore the options and find a solution. Training for new operators will begin in October. Those wishing to volunteer as an operator in the Nappanee area can dial “0” and ask for ENTERPRISE 8671.
