Marriott-Slaterville History August 2011 p.m. on September 22. City Administrator Bill Morris proposed to cancel and certify the election subject to no qualifying write-in candidates filing by that date, and that the Resolution become effective at 5:00 p.m. on September 22, 2011. The Council requested that staff place the Resolution, as explained, on the agenda for the next meeting for discussion and action. The events of the July 4* Freedom Celebration were discussed. Councilman Kim Slater thought the ticket line was fairly long. Mr. Morris suggested selling tickets before the lunch, or possibly at the breakfasts. President Dennis Ilium has heard the L.D.S. wards discussing a combined breakfast. President Ilium suggested the possibility of having the food catered. Mr. Slater believes that having the council serve is a good opportunity to interface with residents, even though there is a greater burden on staff for preparations. The Council agreed to keep the food service as it has been. It is possible that the games may have gone a bit too long. Also, the pies were messy. One resident was irate that they had to wait for the parade to end to be able to leave their subdivision. Some church officials want the city to get our own tables; the stake president didn't feel this was a problem, as the tables are there for the ward breakfast. President Ilium mentioned that a few people have asked about using the City Hall Park for the event, but he feels that Marriott Park is better suited with its shade and parking. Councilman Delbert Hodson agreed and thought we should continue to have the event at the Marriott Park. The staff was thanked for their hard work for the event by Councilman Scott VanLeeuwen. Steve Mecham has suggested that a cemetery district be created to collect money to purchase property, when it is available, for a cemetery in the City. He said he was born in the city, lived here most of his life, and would like to be buried in the city when he dies. He has talked to people who feel the same way. He suggested that residents and past residents pay a lower price for a lot, with non-residents charged a higher rate. Kim Slater asked about the laws concerning being buried in a high water table. Mr. Mecham said with sealed vaults it is not a big problem. He feels a cemetery should be self-sustaining as long as we can purchase the property. Mr. Morris said there would have to be an election to see if residents want a cemetery district. It would be an entirely separate entity from the city. It would show up as taxes as a special district, not a city property tax. Council members asked the staff to contact other cemetery districts to get more information for the Council on how they are run and how successful they are. Mayor Butler thanked Susan Bodily for preparing the city booth at the County Fair this year. He also thanked DayLyn Brandley for her work with Music in the Park. This program will be discontinued until there is more support for it. He advised the Council that Pam Hunsaker will not be able to continue as the Community Gardener, and thanked her for her work. The city is looking for someone to replace her. Mr. Hodson feels that there have been lots of mosquitos, probably because of the wet year. Mr. Slater feels they have been under control considering the wet year. Residents can call the Mosquito Abatement to request an area be sprayed, but they may need a few days' notice. President Ilium is concerned with the dust and dirt on the south side of the Chevron Gas Station. Mr. Morris met with Brent De Young, UDOT, last week, and was told that Mr. De Young would look into solving the problem. Mr. Slater would still like UDOT to improve the appearance of the detention basins on 12*1 Street. A heavy rain hit the top of Utah early in August, and flooding occurred at Toads/Mulligans and homes in the area on Pioneer Road. A press release dated August 8, 2011, announced the President of the United States had declared the flooding a major disaster for the spring flooding, and stated that federal disaster aid would be available through 171
