Show Marriott-Slaterville History February 2012 Mr. Smout had requested a resolution honoring fire fighters, emergency dispatchers, paramedics, and first responders, and Resolution 2012-C is the result. The resolution was passed unanimously. Relative to the proposed Cemetery District, Mr. Morris said that Steve Mecham, Orvil Holley, and Shay Holley mediated differences on the cemetery district proposal, with a new resolution as a product. This would initiate the district without a property tax, with the cemetery paid for by people buying plots. As of February 8, the city has received 8 protests from residents against the cemetery district. Staff recommended tabling the resolution, to which the council agreed. Mr. Morris updated the situation where FDIC took escrow money on three projects. After extensive work with congressional representatives, the city tailed to recover the money taken on two of the three projects. Staff proposed seeking CDBG funds on the loss at the Quail Meadow Subdivision. The city will request about $200,000 in CDBG funds to complete the subdivision improvements, and will contribute $20,000 in city funds to match, in hope of improving the chance of obtaining this grant. On the Taylor project, Mountain View Title issued a promissory note to the Taylors, with the city as co-maker, to cover the loss of $149,000 taken by the FDIC. The city proposed to amend the note to buy out 75%, with the title company to pay 25% of the note, with the title company reimbursing the city a portion overtime, less part of the interest. The Staff proposed to amend the promissory note for Mulligans's from the 400 North reconstruction, as Mr. Blair is still being affected by the poor economy. The amendment would extend the payback period and eliminate the interest rate, with Mr. Blair paying $1,000 per month until paid off. As a condition, the city required Mr. Blair to become current on fees and past interest due the city. Mr. Blair recently brought himself current on outstanding debt owed to the city. This fund was made from the road project refund from BDO, and was not city funds. After discussing the proposals, with some concerns mentioned, the council voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to finalize the proposals. Concerning the request to name a portion of 1200 West to honor veterans, Mr. Smout moved to name 1200 West "Veterans Way." Motion failed tor lack of a second. President Dennis Illum moved to allow staff to post a sign at the intersection of 400 North designating 1200 West with a sub-classification as Veterans Way/Tomlinson Road. The motion passed 4 to 1, with Mr. Slater voting no. Marriott-Slaterville has joined with Harrisville for an affordable youth recreation program.
