The Pioneer Post __ Marriott-Slaterville City Newsletter November 2000 1195 West 400 North, MSC, UT 84404 (627-1919, Fax 627-1880) Volume II Issue 11 November Council Message Marriott-Slaterville has now been a city for about a year and a half. In that time some of the things we thought would be our most pressing problems have been working rather well. One example, finances. Because of the extremely careful watch of the Mayor and City Staff, we have been able to stay within budget and put a little away for future needs. As a City Council we congratulate these dedicated workers and our wonderful volunteers for the unselfish aid in making (and keeping) the city a good place to live and raise our families. Some other things we did not expect now present us with more pressure and difficulty. Example, Legacy Highway. If you did not already know, the number one choice transportation route of the Wasatch Front Regional Council for the Legacy Highway north alignment runs along the power corridor in the western part of our v. Like I-15, this proposed route would divide our city again. We, along with other cities and communities in Weber county are vigorously opposing this route. If you have any ideas on how we might negate the placement of this corridor please contact the city. Also, there is one other area where we would like your suggestions and help - weed control. Not many years ago we could ride our bikes along the sides of our roads without worrying about puncture weeds. Today, the bikes of our children and grandchildren seem to be getting tire repaired more than they are being used. What can we do as citizen to fight this noxious weed? Your suggestions will be appreciated. We hope to possibly start some type of eradication program this coming spring.
