Bountiful Sewer Turnover to South Davis Sewer - Where is the Tax Cut?

In 2005, the City of Bountiful turned over its sewer system to the South Davis Sewer District.  The citizens of Bountiful never were given a say  on whether they should join this sewer district as is required by law.  Bountiful City officials stated this was an administrative matter, that they were simply contracting with South Davis Sewer,  and thus it did not require a vote. 

If this was an administrative matter, then why are the citizens of Bountiful now paying fees directly to South Davis County Sewer instead of to Bountiful City who in turn would pay South Davis Sewer?  And where was the tax cut by Bountiful, as they are no longer taking care of the sewers, and the citizens of Bounitful are now directly paying for sewer service to someone else?  What is Bountiful City doing with the effective tax increase that they came into?  Where were the truth in taxation hearings on this?  Are Mayor Joe Johnson and City Manager Tom Hardy being questioned about this?
