Numerous visitors attended the July 16, 2009, City Council Meeting, with interest in the 400 North Construction public hearing. Following the published agenda, business licenses were issued for Red Box, Top Stop, 1210 West 12* Street, Red Box, Maverick, 517 North 2000 West (both automated DVD movie rentals), and Lawn Care Specialist, 956 West 17*1 Street, a home lawn care occupation. Sheriff Brad Slater gave a slide presentation on law enforcement services contracted between Marriott-Slaterville and the Weber County Sheriff Department, explaining the increase in cost for the police service for the city. It covered increases in salaries, benefits, uniforms, training, vehicle/maintenance, laptops, radios, radar guns, records, staff and liability insurance. Sheriff Slater answered questions from the council. Members of the council thanked Sheriff Slater for his hard work, and for meeting with them. Randy Wilcox with J-U-B Engineers presented a slide presentation on the 400 North Reconstruction Project. He then answered questions about the project. Councilman Kim slater asked about impacts on homeowners along the street. Mr. Wilcox answered that any driveway affected will be taken care of by the project during construction, with the homeowners allowed access to their driveways. Answering Councilman Delbert Hodson's inquiry about landscaping, Mr. Andy Neff said each property owner could decide what landscaping was desired, and any other concern of the owner. Landscaping would include trees, shrubs, plants, sod, mulch or rock. The intersection at 400 North and 1200 West will remain a four-way stop, with a possibility it might warrant a stop light with a camera system, at a later date. Councilman Rob Smout asked if a round-about had been considered. City Administrator said that BDO does not want to participate in a round-about at the location because the area is too small to permit one large enough for commercial trucks. Mr. Hodson asked if the construction will take place at night or during the day. Mr. Morris replied that the city has a noise ordinance that would limit work to 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., but the contractor could work seven days a week if they wanted to do so. Ken Martin asked if the road could be closed completely except to local traffic, which he feels would speed up construction. Mr. Neff indicated that is under consideration. The project engineer said that construction will start this fall and continue through next summer. Mr. Hodson asked when the 12* Street project will be completed, and was told if will be around the end of September or October of this year. In answer to Councilman Kim Slater's question, J-U-B said that some of the old road material can be reused. Steve Mecham was advised that the road is being built to UDOT specification, and the intersection of 1200 West will be concrete to minimize the truck ruts on the roads. 157
