The losers: Some cities received less grant funds than they contributed. Each small city is guaranteed $5,000 a year and larger ones are guaranteed more based on population. Caldwell said some cities applied only for the $5,000 because the program is new and "they are still trying to identify projects." City RAMP Funds received Sales Tax from RAMP Farr West $66,796 $7,000 Harrisville $103,880 $5,000 Plain City $31,042 $10,573 Pleasant View $56,542 $10,573 Riverdale $493,965 $12,200 Roy $373,370 $299,308 Uintah $11,412 $5,000 Washington Terrace $71'145 $43'870 These cities do not seem worried about the way funds have been distributed so far. Leonard Call, a Pleasant View city council member said, "Breaking it down by each agency and not the good of the community would be selfish. I think (the RAMP committee) did a good job of distributing (the funds) fairly. Maybe someday we'll get someone else's share." Bill Morris, city administrator of Marriott-Slaterville said their city received the guaranteed $5,000 but their application for a Legacy Parkway project along the Ogden River was denied. Morris said he is "hopeful that (over the eight) years we can get money in our community. We are small and should be able to participate." Morris also recognizes that residents may feel they are getting their share through other communities. "So far it seems there is a regional benefit and that may be okay," he said. Caldwell said as long as communities take responsibility for applying for grants and include project maintenance in their city's budget, funds should be distributed evenly throughout the county. "This is our first year and we thought (the funds were) spread very well. They have gone to every area and after eight years everything will come out in the wash." It will ultimately be the voters who decide whether RAMP's projects have sufficiently improved their lives to justify the increased sales tax when they decide whether to reapprove RAMP in 2012. RAMP funds created trails like these by the 21st Street pond in Ogden. The trails connect to other county trails including the Ogden River Parkway creating 26 miles of consecutive trail. The RAMP committee gives high priority to trail projects because they feel trails benefit every county member.
