Show The senior lunches were deemed a great success by Mayor Butler. Approximately 50 to 55 seniors attend each week, with a donation of $2.00 per meal for residents over 65 and $4.50 for anyone under. The city receives $8,000 from a federal grant given to the county for the senior meals. Mayor Keith Butler said that Shauna Meyerhoffer and the volunteers have done a great job. The doors in the building have been changed to the color originally ordered. A couple of defects still need to be touched up with paint before final acceptance. Another sign of spring-pot holes-has been a big problem this year, because of the high amount of moisture we have had. The city is trying to keep up on their repair. Building permits, mostly in the new subdivisions, have been increasing, so far this year. Activities always seem to pick up as winter goes away. A two day training session for the three new members of the Planning Commission, Mike Hunsaker, Don Lassen and Kent Schofield, has been set up with ULGT. As the snow melts and the weeds pop up over night, the Mayor would like to get started on the landscaping for our new building. He is also currently working on the amended budget for this year, as well as the new budget for the coming year. Mr. Slater reported that the Mosquito Abatement District will be monitoring the West Nile Virus again this year. Mr. Van Leeuwen said the Weber Fire District purchased a used fire truck for $283,000, saving considerable district funds. He is concerned with the Imani property, feeling that the elevations are not correct. Ken Martin is working on the project to make sure all is in order. The Planning Commission discussed an application to amend the Marriott-Slaterville business park subdivision plan. Joe Taylor, owner, would like to add 11 lots to the subdivision, derived from an 11 acre piece which has not been used by a business. The possibility of the city changing its one acre minimum tot size for manufacturing business, to a smaller size, as well the need for a second exit or shorter cul -de-sac was discussed. The matter was tabled pending Mr. Taylor's action for a second exit. In the past, changes such as a new subdivision, required that anyone living within 500 feet would be mailed notices of the proposed change. Mr. Martin said a new law provides that a large sign posted on the property is now sufficient notification. The city has purchased four large signs for this purpose. The Weber Sentinel reported that compost can be purchased from the Weber County Compost Facility, 2618 W. Pioneer Road, in our city. Different colored mulches, wood chips, firewood, as well as "black gold," or compost are available. Early spring is the best time to get the compost as it has had time over the winter to process. Small branches, grass clippings, leaves and wood chips, which they accept in covered loads, are used in the compost. A $10 surcharge is made for uncovered materials. Prices can be obtained at the facility phone number 726-8212. Bits and Pieces Rian and Paige Mckenzie, twin daughters of David and Shelly Spencer Mckenzie, were born on March 8, 2006. Lewis G.
