The Pioneer Post Volume VII Issue 10-11 Marriott-Slaterville City Newsletter October-November 2005 1570 West 400 North - Phone 627-1919 Grand Opening After five years of saving and thriftiness and with the assistance of grant funds secured by city staff, the new municipal complex is now complete. The best news is that the new building was constructed with no loan or bond. The building is paid in full. The building features a large senior center with a kitchen and project rooms, municipal administrative offices, and legislative chambers. A landscaped park area will be planned in the rear of the building. The public is invited to an open house at 1570 West 400 North on November 16, 2005, from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm. Tours of the building can be taken at that time. Light refreshments will be served. Council Message I am Scott Van Leeuwen, your city councilor at-large. I have served in this position for two years. Two very eventful years as many things have been accomplished. We have two rural residential subdivisions with a good deal of open space. There is a new business park, and there are plans in the works for some commercial area on 12th Street to generate tax revenue to support our community. Our residents can now boast of a new senior center and city office. Come by and check things out. I publicly thank to all our volunteers who have helped the community get this far. I also thank the staff at our office, each planning commissioner, the mayor, and each council member for their service. Everyone plays a part. Support your neighborhood watch and be vigilant in reporting suspicious activities. Don't forget to wave to our neighbors.
