This is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A business license for Yard Masters, Inc., at 3648 W. Pioneer Road, was approved at the City Council Meeting held on October 19, 2006. A public hearing was held on that date concerning the proposal that the annual compensation for the mayor be raised from $3,600 to $5,000, plus $250 for each year as an elected municipal official. Members of the Planning Commission, who have received no compensation in the past, will receive $20 per meeting attended, with $40 additional per month for the chair person. Elected and appointed officers are excluded from the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Public comment was invited. Orvil Holley, stating he was representing several people in the community, thanked the council and mayor for their hard work for the city. He feels the Planning Commission should not be compensated because that opens the door for the many other volunteers. He feels that the city does not need to keep up with other cities, and likes volunteer work under the current system. Gerald Bischoff stated that he was against the incorporation of the city and opposed the compensation increase. He stated he is opposed to raises until the city can act like a city. The public hearing was closed and the public meeting reopened. After discussion, the council separated the proposal for compensation increase for the mayor and for the planning commission. The vote to increase the compensation for the mayor passed by three in favor and two against. After further discussion, the proposal for compensation to the Planning Commission failed with three against and two in favor. Developer Troy Brower purchased the 10 units developed by Mr. Hoth which are located at 1045 South 1200 West under an existing PRUD. He discovered that the building plans for the units purchased did not match the lot lines for the units on the plat. He requested that the error be corrected by making a lot line adjustment for the 10 units, which are part of a condominium project. The adjustments were approved following a discussion. Deputy Weber County Attorney, Dave Wilson requested that the previous interlocal agreement for the Weber Area Consolidated Dispatch Center be ended, as there is now a special district for the dispatch service. The request was approved. In other reports, Mayor Butler said that WACOG has advised that the commuter rail project is on schedule and is 40% complete. The city is attempting to get the state to assume maintenance of 400 North, with no success to date. Greg Seegmiller is no longer the city engineer. Chris Brianeholt, of Jones and Associates, has taken over this duty.
