<br />Operating Year <br />Ended <br /> <br />Total <br />Boulder City <br />Operating Deficits <br /> <br />School Payments, 1941-48 <br />May 31, 1949 <br />May 31, 1950 <br />May 31, 1951 <br /> <br />Total <br /> <br />$ 188,169.51 <br />220,948.18 <br />415,317.04 <br />317,381. 69 <br /> <br />$1, 141,816.42 <br /> <br />Share of Deficit <br />Allocated as <br />Non-PrOject <br /> <br />$ 69,971.19 <br />33, 807,69 <br />200,552.71 <br />163,042.00 (Est.) <br />$467,373.59 <br /> <br />No relief or rate adjustments were granted retroactively for <br />operating years antedating Public Law 841 in either investments of <br />operating deficits, except as to direct payments to the Boulder City <br />schools in aid of education where dependency of students as to <br />Government agency employees could be definitely established. <br /> <br />Because no clear-cut or definite means can be found for an <br />absolute distinction between project and non-project functions in <br />Boulder City, a formula was first worked out based on a-rea occu- <br />pancy; however, this formula was revised in 1951, and the alloca- <br />tions are now based on employment ratios. This formula will be <br />found in the appendix of this report, and is currently approximately <br />53"/0 project and 47% non-project, as against 69% -31% on the earlier <br />formula, applied in c-onjunction with certain direct allocations. <br /> <br />It should be noted that in eliminating "non-project" costs from <br />'the rate structure, Public Law 841 has not made any provision for <br />recovering these costs to the United States Treasury. This prob- <br />lem, among several others, including the sponsorship of getting <br />Boulder City into the status of a self -governed community, is now <br />being aggressively attacked by the Secretary of the Interior, acting <br />through the Bureau of Reclamation and the project itself. <br /> <br />Construction in Boulder City this year was limited to develop- <br />ment of an area of about four city blocks including utilities and <br />paving in order to satisfy the demand for additional housing in the <br />area. An athletic field adjacent to the new high school was also <br />graded and landscaped, completing the first step in the proposed <br />new city recreational area. <br /> <br />~_ _._r.J'!~,~'::'?::t~~...;._~.\..~,:~.>.,---:c- _.,0;,: -.": <br /> <br />--_.~--~-=~~= <br /> <br />..;:".", <br /> <br />:'::'oO_-:"-,-:'~:'~ '," . <br /> <br />15 <br />
