The Pioneer Post Volume XII Issue 10 Marriott-Slaterville City Newsletter October 2011 1570 West 400 North - Phone 627-1919 Election Cancelled Marriott-Slaterville City had three city council seats open this year. Dennis Ilium filed for the east district. Rob Smout filed for the West district. Scott VanLeeuwen filed for the at-large seat. All seats are uncontested so the local election is cancelled. State law allows the uncontested elections to be cancelled to save tax money. The city saved approximately $4,500 in election cost which will be re-appropriated to the general fund. FALL CLEAN-UP Fall Clean-up is scheduled October 21-23. A dumpster will be located at Marriott Park and at Slaterville Park. Please put all garbage completely inside the dumpster, not on the ground.
